Bill Summary

For legislation relative to life cycle costs for long term pavement solutions. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to implement a life-cycle cost analysis for pavement projects funded with state funds exceeding $1 million. The Department of Transportation will be required to design each project using both Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Plain Jointed Cementitious Concrete (PJCC), and award the project using the material with the lowest life-cycle cost. The bill also mandates the Department to conduct at least 4 PJCC demonstration projects per year for 10 years to generate historical data for the life-cycle cost analysis. The goal is to identify pavement designs that can increase life expectancy, improve performance, and compare the cost-effectiveness of different pavement types.
