What are equivalent sections?
•Traffic•Reliability •Subgrade•Terminal Condition
•Traffic•Reliability •Subgrade •Terminal Condition
=
• Provide reasonably similar level of service• Designed with the same procedure
• Same structural capacity
• Similar traffic-carrying capacity over the analysis period
Equivalent Designs

How Pavements Carry Loads3000 kg.3000 kg.
pressure < 0.2 MPa
pressure 2.0 MPa
Concrete’s Rigidness spreads the load over a large areaand keeps pressures on the subgrade low.

Costs
Accurate estimates are essential Take into account volume, production, and
availability of materials Update regularly

Costs
Liquid AC index jumped from $340 to $842 per ton in just over 4 months (April—August 2009) – that’s a $25 per ton increase for in-place asphalt pavement
Availability of liquid AC was becoming a concern Over the last 2 years, the price of asphalt pavement
has jumped from about $55 to over $75 and as high as $130 per ton
Although cement prices did rise for a while before the big AC increases, prices are lower and stable

Economic procedure
– That uses Engineering inputs
Compares competing alternates over their life
– by considering all significant costs (and benefits) Construction, Maintenance, Rehabilitation User Performance
Expressed in equivalent dollars
What is it ?
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis
![Page 11: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Magical Black Box
– There is no concrete LCCA or asphalt LCCA
Complicated
– Does not need a computer program

Determine the stream of flow for expenditures. The cash flow diagram (below) shows the inflow and outflow of cash due to construction and rehabilitation. Arrows indicate a major cash expenditure (construction, rehabilitation, etc.). An up arrow indicates the outflow of cash. Down arrows show inflows. With pavements the inflow of cash only occurs at the end of the analysis period to show either continued-use or salvage value. The height of the arrow indicates the magnitude of the expenditure.

Using the the expenditure stream above, calculate the Present Worth (PW) for each rehabilitation activity (PW for the initial cost is the initial cost).
PW is calculated using the following formula:
PW = Rehab Cost / (1+i)n
Where i = discount rate n = year rehab takes place

Some basic insights:
Initial Costs – Account for about 65-90% of Life Cycle Cost. – Selection of features plays an important role – Need to account for added features on the pavement
performance.
Timing of Activities. – After initial costs and discount rate, the next most important
factor. – The longer an activity is delayed, the greater it is discounted
and the less impact it has on present worth.

Alternate Pavement Bidding
Alternate pavement bidding involves the bidding of two equivalent pavement designs in order to determine the most economical solution to the owner.
![Page 28: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Use of Alternate Bidding FHWA traditionally discouraged use of alternate
bids for pavements FHWA approved a Special Experimental Project for
use of alternate bids in Missouri 1996. AASHTO recognizes Alternate Bids as a contracting
technique that will be utilized in the 21st century Recommended when more than one alternate is
judged “equal” by an agency and that the least costly design approach will result from a competitive bid.
Alternate bidding should be used when there is no clear cut choice between two alternates and have similar life cycle costs
![Page 29: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Use of Alternate Bidding
Federal Aid policy suggests that alternative designs are considered for large projects
A life cycle cost economic analysis should be conducted to compare the total cost of each alternate.
If the alternates do not provide equivalent designs then an adjustment must be made to the bid to equate the alternates.
Pavements should be bid in the same units and materials costs escalators should not be used.
![Page 30: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Use of Alternate Bidding
The following States/Provinces have experience with alternative bidding:– Alabama– Kansas– Kentucky– Louisiana– Maryland– Michigan– Missouri– Ohio– Pennsylvania– West Virginia
![Page 31: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Alternate Pavement Bidding Account for Bid Adjustment Method A + B A + B + C C is usually a product of the following
example:
C = User Delay Cost + (periodic) Rehab Cost + Annual Maintenance Cost
C is added to the actual bid amount
![Page 32: Pavement Type Selection (Designs, Costs & Bidding) 9 th Annual Concrete Conference for the Maryland Transportation Industry March 24, 2009 Timonium, MD.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051516/56649c9d5503460f9495c791/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
West Virginia’s Alternate Bids
Three projects so far with 3 more coming this year
No C factor so far First project went asphalt Next two went concrete with the concrete bid
10% less than asphalt WV is getting the lowest unit prices for
asphalt they seen in years
