  • Abstract:
    Over the past few years the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has been asked numerous questions related to the cost of highway construction in Washington State as compared to other states. In order to address these questions, WSDOT has completed a survey of other states. This report is a summary of that survey. Twenty five states responded to the survey.

    Over fifty WSDOT interchange projects were considered as potential candidates for the survey. A team was assembled to review the projects. The team looked for a representative project that would be universal in all the states. The SE 192 nd Avenue Interchange Project on SR 14 met these criteria.

    The survey form was sent to members of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Design. Participants were asked to provide the unit costs in their states for the bid items included in the survey, and the percentage of project cost devoted to mobilization, preliminary engineering, and construction engineering. The information gathered provides detail for calculation of the construction cost of

    the interchange and the construction cost of a lane mile of highway. (WSDOT is frequently asked how much it costs to construct a lane mile of highway.) Survey participants were asked to identify the range of project cost in their state for right of way, environmental documentation (SEPA, NEPA, permitting), and environmental compliance and mitigation associated with construction. Participants were also asked if their state has a state prevailing wage law in

    addition to the federal prevailing wage law. The survey form is included in Appendix B.
