SB 158 - This act requires the Department of Transportation to consider the complete life-cycle costs of work in determining the lowest bid amount submitted. The Department is required to develop and implement a life-cycle cost analysis for any projects for which the estimated total pavement costs exceed $1 million funded in whole or in part by state funds. The Department shall design such projects in both asphalt and concrete pavement designs, and shall award pavement projects utilizing the material with the lowest life-cycle cost. The designs and life-cycle cost analysis shall be conducted in accordance with the Department's currently established practices and policies.
