92.8 	174.185 PAVEMENT LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS.
92.9 		Subdivision 1.Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions 
92.10 	apply.
92.11 	(a) "Life-cycle cost" is the sum of the cost of the initial pavement project and all 
92.12 	anticipated costs for maintenance, repair, and resurfacing over the life of the pavement. 
92.13 	Anticipated costs must be based on Minnesota's actual or reasonably projected maintenance, 
92.14 	repair, and resurfacing schedules, and costs determined by the Department of Transportation 
92.15 	district personnel based upon recently awarded local projects and experience with local 
92.16 	material costs.
92.17 	(b) (a) "Life-cycle cost analysis" or "analysis" is a comparison of life-cycle costs among 
92.18 	competing paving materials using equal design lives and equal comparison periods. process 
92.19 	for evaluating the total economic worth of a usable project segment by analyzing initial 
92.20 	costs and discounted future costs, such as maintenance, user costs, reconstruction, 
92.21 	rehabilitation, restoring, and resurfacing costs, over the life of the project segment.
92.22 	(b) "Minimum requirements" is a combination of pavement, base, and subbase materials 
92.23 	that minimizes the total system cost to achieve the specified design performance 
92.24 	requirements.  Design performance requirements are based on design traffic volumes, 
92.25 	reliability, standard deviation, pavement structural characteristics, and various material 
92.26 	properties for structural design.
92.27 	(c) "Pavement" is any material used for paved traffic lanes, typically asphalt or concrete, 
92.28 	including the underlying materials inherent to each pavement alternative considered.
92.29 	(d) "Rounded value" means a measurement that is rounded to the nearest half-inch 
92.30 	increment.
93.1 	(e) "Shoulder" is the portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way, outside 
93.2 	of the edge of the pavement for accommodation of stopped vehicles, emergency use, and 
93.3 	lateral support of base and surface courses.
93.4 	(f) "Substantial plan development" is the point in time during the plan development 
93.5 	process after which any further activities would preclude any of the feasible alternatives 
93.6 	from being selected or constructed.
93.7 	(g) "Superfluous materials" are materials that are in excess of rounded values and that 
93.8 	are not necessary to meet the minimum requirements for a feasible alternative.
93.9 		Subd. 2.Required analysis. (a) For each project in the reconditioning, resurfacing, and 
93.10 	road repair funding categories any project with 15,000 or more square yards of paving, the

93.12 	life-cycle costs and all alternatives considered. The commissioner shall document the chosen 
93.13 	pavement strategy and, if the lowest life cycle is not selected, document the justification 
93.14 	for the chosen strategy. A life-cycle cost analysis is required for projects to be constructed 
93.15 	after July 1, 2011. For projects to be constructed prior to July 1, 2011, when feasible, the 
93.16 	department will use its best efforts to perform life-cycle cost analyses. and document the 
93.17 	chosen pavement strategy as provided by this section.  The commissioner must perform the 
93.18 	life-cycle cost analysis prior to substantial plan development.
93.19 	(b) When conducting a life-cycle cost analysis, the commissioner must:
93.20 	(1) derive initial and future costs from Minnesota-based historical data of roadways with 
93.21 	similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural or 
93.22 	urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle classification 
93.23 	percentages;
93.24 	(2) determine the analysis period based on the longest design life of all feasible 
93.25 	alternatives or 60 years, whichever is longer;
93.26 	(3) compensate for any life added or lost due to rounding if pavement thickness is rounded 
93.27 	up or down;
93.28 	(4) ensure that each feasible alternative being considered in the analysis meets the 
93.29 	minimum requirements for that alternative and must consider only the pavement, base, and 
93.30 	subbase materials that are required to meet the minimum criteria for that alternative;
93.31 	(5) identify all feasible alternatives, including a full range of rehabilitation strategies for 
93.32 	both rigid and flexible pavements, which must, at a minimum, include thin asphalt overlay 
94.1 	of less than four inches, thin concrete overlay of four inches to six inches, thick asphalt  of 
94.2 	greater than or equal to four inches, and thick concrete options greater than six inches;
94.3 	(6) include agency costs, including but not limited to initial pavement, future rehabilitation 
94.4 	and maintenance projects, overhead, design, contract administration, and routine maintenance;
94.5 	(7) mobilization costs related to construction, maintenance, or rehabilitation;
94.6 	(8) costs for traffic control to protect workers and the public during each construction, 
94.7 	maintenance, or rehabilitation activity in the analysis;
94.8 	(9) add the annual excess fuel consumption costs, as calculated in subdivision 2a, as an 
94.9 	annual pavement cost;
94.10 	(10) identify and use realistic timing of future maintenance and construction practices 
94.11 	using similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural 
94.12 	or urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle 
94.13 	classification percentages;
94.14 	(11) for each feasible alternative with residual service life at the end of the analysis 
94.15 	period, calculate the value of any residual service life and include it as a credit in the final 
94.16 	year of the analysis period;
94.17 	(12) include an explanation of the methodology used to produce the cost estimate and 
94.18 	why that method was selected; and
94.19 	(13) include an explanation of the timing selected of rehabilitation and maintenance and 
94.20 	why that timing was selected.

107.19 	the submission of the plans, the city, county, or town must review and approve or disapprove 
107.20 	the changed component located in the city, county, or town. A local unit of government that 
107.21 	disapproves the change must describe specific amendments to the plans that, if adopted, 
107.22 	would cause the local unit to withdraw its disapproval. Failure to approve or disapprove the 
107.23 	changed plans in writing within the time period is deemed to be an approval, unless an 
107.24 	extension is agreed to by the city, county, or town.
