Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis on the use of warranties in road construction will be of interest to administrators, engineers, designers, and contractors involved with highway design and construction and the procurement process for these services. Experiences with use of warranties in Europe and the United States are cited and the potential impacts, benefits, and concerns of using warranties in the United States are identified. Actions needed to facilitate the use of warranties for highway projects in the United States are also discussed. The use of warranties in road construction is relatively widespread in the European highway industry compared to practice in the United States, where use has been limited. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the various methods used in Europe for highway industry warranties and identifies the issues that need to be addressed before construction warranties can be translated to U.S. practice. Recent congressional proposals call for the use of warranties to be allowed on federal-aid highway projects. This has caused varied reactions from the parties involved in the design and construction of highways, resulting in a General Accounting Office study on methods for improving the quality of federal-aid highways, including the use of warranties. Ultimately, the owner will have to decide whether to use warranties in highway construction projects. Some of the potential benefits and concerns of using warranties, plus needed actions for successful implementation are presented in this synthesis, which is considered a snapshot of the issues at the time of publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1990s the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) developed a five-year warranty specification for asphalt pavements with the first project being built in 1996. In 2004, results indicated that the asphalt pavements built with the warranty specification had improved performance over the conventional asphalt pavements.Nineteen years have passed since the original asphalt pavement warranty project was placed in Indiana. It has been eleven years since the performance of the warranted asphalt pavements has been analyzed to determine the effectiveness of warranties. Therefore, it is prudent to reexamine the potential benefits of asphalt pavement warranties. Hence, the ultimate goal of the project is to advise the INDOT on whether the use of asphalt pavement warranties has potential benefit for lowering the cost of ownership for asphalt paved roadways.Overall, performance comparisons of Indiana's warranted and non-warranted asphalt pavements indicate that warranted asphalt pavements tend to perform more effectively than do non-warranted asphalt pavements. On average, warranted asphalt pavement sections had lower IRI values and rut depths than did non-warranted sections. The variability in IRI values and rut depths was also found to be less for warranted pavement sections than for the non-warranted sections. In terms of service life based on changes in IRI and rut depth, analyses indicate that warranted asphalt pavements could last 10 to 14 years longer than non-warranted asphalt pavements. When both initial capital costs and maintenance expenditures are considered, warranted asphalt pavements appear to be 15 to 40% more cost effective over a 5-year (short-term) period and 47 to 61% more cost effective over a 15-year (long-term) period. These savings do not include potential benefits of reduced user costs nor reduced INDOT inspection costs.

Book excerpt: The objective of this evaluation was to document a cost-benefit evaluation of the 3-year warranty specification and projects for hot bituminous pavements (HBP). There were 6 warranty projects evaluated that included 3 projects whose warranty terms had expired. Each warranty project was compared to a comparable non-warranted project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement warranties have been common in the United States at various points in time, coming back into favor during the 1990s. While there is no national pavement warranty standard, agencies have developed their own specifications with varying criteria. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 553: Performance-Based Pavement Warranty Practices documents highway agency practices associated with the use of performance-based pavement warranties, focusing on asphalt, concrete, and composite pavement projects (new, preservation, and rehabilitation) with warranty periods of at least one year.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the primary focus of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) changes from highway construction to transportation maintenance, there is an increased need to extend the value derived from limited funding resources by increasing the service life of pavement rehabilitation treatments. In this regard, the development of a pavement warranty contract and a performance specification was considered in an effort to ensure that VDOT continues to deliver the highest quality pavement to the traveling public. The concept of a pavement warranty allows for a department of transportation to specify either performance criteria or materials properties that are to be met at the time of project acceptance or throughout the warranty period. These criteria are to be met through the efforts of the contractor in performing periodic maintenance or rehabilitation if required. Reports from the literature suggest that implementing warranty specifications may improve the final quality of the pavement project, reduce the state inspection forces required, and shift some of the responsibility from the department to the contractor. Other reports suggest that disadvantages may include a potential for reduced competition and higher material bid prices during the initial stages of warranty implementation. In an effort to help increase the overall quality of the roadway network and thus increase the service life of pavement resurfacings, VDOT sought to investigate the use of a warranty clause as part of an upcoming resurfacing contract. A performance-based warranty clause was developed in this pilot study to be included as part of the contract documents for a typical interstate resurfacing project. In this process, the bidding contractors would be given information about the condition of the pavement obtained from data collected through cores and the falling weight deflectometer and then the contractor would be responsible for developing the resurfacing pavement design that fulfilled the conditions of the warranty clause. The review of the submitted bids would be conducted in two stages where the technical merit of a proposal would be evaluated prior to the opening of a cost estimate. Because of the extensive deterioration of the pavement, the warranty concept was not pursued for the pilot project. This report recommends that the warranty concept be applied in another location as part of a future study. Reports in the literature from other state departments of transportation indicate that although warranties have the potential to improve overall pavement performance and reduce life-cycle costs, they must be developed such that competition between contractors is not reduced.
