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 provide state and municipal agencies with 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 specifications. The key provisions include requiring the pipes to be designed using the latest AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) Load Resistance Factor Design Specifications, be constructed and inspected to meet AASHTO installation and testing requirements, be made from non-combustible and non-toxic materials, and maintain the necessary hydraulic design capacity for the project's life. This legislation is intended to promote competition and flexibility in the selection of culvert pipe materials for state-funded road projects.
