Bill Summary

For legislation relative to competition for specification of alternative types of culvert pipes. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill aims to give state and municipal agencies the autonomy to determine the types of culvert pipes to be used in the construction of state-funded roadways, as long as the selected pipes meet certain requirements. The key provisions are that the pipes must be designed using the latest AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) specifications, constructed and inspected to meet AASHTO installation and testing standards, made from non-combustible and non-toxic materials, and maintain hydraulic design capacity for the project's lifetime. This bill provides agencies with more flexibility in choosing alternative types of culvert pipes for state-funded road projects, as long as they meet these specified criteria.
