  1. Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century(TEA-21)Innovative Bridge Research & Construction (IBRC) ProgramProgram Summaryas of October 1999

  2. TEA-21 IBRC ProgramBackground • IBRC Program Established by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, June 1998 • Program Described in Chapter 23, US Code, Title V, Transportation Research, Sec. 503 (a) and 503(b), • Sec. 503(b) Provides for Grants to the States — Demonstrate Application of Innovative Materials in Bridges and Other Structures

  3. TEA-21 IBRC Program7 Program Goals • Demonstrate Cost-Effective Applications of Innovative Materials in Highway Bridges and Other Structures • Reduce Maintenance and Life-Cycle Costs • Develop Techniques to Reduce Construction Time and Congestion Delay

  4. TEA-21 IBRC Program7 Program Goals (contd) • Develop and/or Refine Engineering Design Criteria • Bridges to Withstand Natural Disasters, e.g., Seismic Retrofit • New, Nondestructive Evaluation Techniques • Cost-Effective, Innovative Techniques to Separate Vehicle and Pedestrian Traffic from RR Traffic

  5. TEA-21 IBRC ProgramProgram and Project Funding To Repair, Rehabilitate, and New Construction YearAuthorizedObl. Limit • FY 98 $ 10 M $ 8.910 M • FY 99 $ 15 M $ 13.245 M • FY 98-99 $ 25M $ 22.155 M • FY 00 $ 17 M $ 15.2 M • FY 01-03 $ 60 M TBD

  6. TEA-21 IBRC ProgramSelection Criteria and Considerations • Project meets one or more of the 7 program goals • Project incorporates readily available materials or products • Design/application is repeatable and/or has widespread application • Projects where Federal funds are leveraged with other significant public or private resources • Projects that are ready/near ready to begin construction phase
