Before you can Partner a Decision needs to be made as to what Pavement PreservationStrategy or Strategies will be Utilized!
Preventative Maintenance orCorrective MaintenanceorBoth What is Pavement Preservation?
Pavement Management SystemWhat do you do?Pavement Condition Index (PCI)Visual InspectionMaintenance ExperienceRehabilitation - Performance HistoryInitial Cost Dictates
Don’t Expect Miracles Pre-maintenance is Mandatory Consider Climatic Region (Const. Date) Binder Design Variables Mix Design Variables Construction Procedures (Details) Consider Traffic Conditions DON’T LET THE VARIABLES GET YOU DOWN!
Partnering ConceptsCost Issues/ConsiderationsLets Try to Reduce Initial Cost!
a) Inter-Agency Agreementsb) Concurrent Biddingc) Tag-on Contracts d) Renewable Contractse) JOC’sf) Specificationsg) Early Biddingh) Project Schedulingi) Construction Criteriaj) Materials Indexing
Inter-Agency AgreementsIs this option possible?What are the liability issues for the lead agency?
Concurrent Bidding PracticeAsphalt-Rubber Chip Seal Cost Comparison Example:Individual Project Cost - $ 4.87 per s.y.* Total square yards = 68,800Partnering Project Cost - $ 4.23 per s.y.* Total square yards = 404,000
Tag-on ContractCommunication -Tag-on Usage Unknown!* Lead Agency Price to all ParticipantsCommunication – Tag-on Usage Known!* Similar Pricing as Concurrent Bidding
Specifications – Consistency!Early Bidding - Contractors are Hungary!Project Scheduling - Start and Cutoff Dates?Construction Criteria - Production Limitations! Materials Indexing - Equality at Bid Time!
Additional Cost Considerations Agency: Budget and Fiscal Year Project Size Pre Maintenance Costs Contractor: Asphalt Cement and Fuel (Big Cost) Mobilization Costs Scheduling & Construction (Mother Nature) Partnering Risks! Extended Warranties?
Did You Know:When PG Asphalt Cement Rises $100.00 per ton,The Per Square Yard Cost of a Slurry Seal Rises-An Average of $0.14 Per Square Yard.The Per Square Yard Cost of a Micro Surface Rises-An Average of $0.22 Per Square Yard.The Per Square Yard Cost of a Chip Seal Rises-An Average of $0.25 Per Square Yard.The Per Square Yard Cost of a Hot Mix O/L Rises-An Average Cost of _______ Per Square Yard?
