Value Concept for Developing Construction Pay Schedules With Application to Asphalt Paving

The primary objective of this study was to develop and demonstrate a rational procedure for the establishment of pavement construction pay adjustment schedules. A rational procedure was defined as one that would reflect the impact of construction variability on the expected life of the pavement. The procedure was required to consider both the mean and the variability of any construction test parameter used for pay determination as determined from a small number of samples and to include a method for incorporating relationships between the test parameters and the expected life of the pavement. The Value Concept developed meets these criteria.
