Roadbuilding criteria; life-cycle cost 9 analysis. 10 (a) As used in this Section, "life-cycle cost" means the 11 total of the cost of the initial project plus all anticipated 12 future costs over the life of the pavement. Actual, relevant 13 data, and not assumptions or estimates, shall be used to the 14 extent such data has been collected. 15 (b) The Department shall develop and implement a 16 life-cycle cost analysis for each State new construction, 17 reconstruction, or replacement road project under its 18 jurisdiction for which the total pavement costs exceed 19 $500,000 funded in whole, or in part, with State or 20 State-appropriated funds. State rehabilitation and 21 preservation projects shall be exempt from this requirement. 22 The Department shall design and award these paving projects 23 utilizing material having the lowest life-cycle cost.
