This groundbreaking publication, written by construction law expert Cordell Parvin, examines the full range of legal options open to asphalt pavement contractors caught between difficulties in getting firm prices at the time of bid and customer expectations for fixed-price contracts with no price-adjustment clauses. A full discussion of price-adjustment clauses is included, along with steps a contractor can take when entering into future contracts. It helps inform contractors or their legal options and strategies they may not have considered as well as provides tools to proactively manage contracts to help keep the bottom line healthy.52 pages (October 2006)

Archived webinar. Meeting and exceeding density specifications is critical to the success of today's paving jobs. However, managing the rolling and compaction operation continues to be the most misunderstood aspect of the paving operation. Contractors often "chase density" without understanding and fixing the root cause(s) of why density is not consistently achieved. It doesn't have to work this way.Recorded: October 19, 201677 minutes/48 MB

This report examines prior LCCA literature for types of costs, length of analysis period, role of discounting, right discount rate, right set of rehabilitation and maintenance costs, and right approach to risk. Further, the authors offer an economics-based approach to key LCCA questions. For example, what happens when the OMB's real interest rate – widely used to construct the discount rate for analyses like LCCA – dips into negative territory, as it did in late 2020? Or, when and how is "well-being" factored into LCCA calculations? Download this free report to dig into LCCA considerations like these and more.

Asphalt pavements are quick to construct, but this traditional wisdom has rarely been quantified — until recently. Using a case study, learn how researchers quantify speed of construction with user costs and local business impacts and learn also from a contractor on how asphalt’s speed of construction was a winning component to their bid. Agencies can gain a more holistic view of the total economic impact of a construction project. This analysis helps the agency make an informed decision surrounding the economic and construction costs associated with large pavement projects. What attendees will learn: 1. Contractors’ strategies for accelerating asphalt road construction. 2. The importance of accelerated asphalt road construction for the future of the U.S. infrastructure. 3. How agencies and contractors have worked together to get the most out of time spent in work zones.

Tracking of tack coat materials can be a major problem from a performance, safety, and aesthetics perspective. If it is a recurring problem with an agency or contractor, it needs to be addressed. The pamphlet provides general guidance that an agency can consider when addressing issues related to tack tracking on both a statewide and project level.

Archived webinar. The typical asphalt pavement mixture is 95% aggregate. After the aggregate is produced, it is critical to handle the material properly to ensure uniformity of the asphalt mixture. This webinar focuses on proper aggregate handling techniques.Recorded: December 11, 201481 minutes/108 MB
