Abstract:Performance-based pavement marking maintenance contracts (PBPMMCs) are one of the latest
mechanisms used to maintain adequate pavement marking performance levels. TxDOT has issued two
PBPMMCs, but the effectiveness of these contracts as compared to other contracting mechanisms from a risk
management, cost, performance, or safety perspective has not been evaluated.
This project gathered information to evaluate the effectiveness of PBPMMCs by evaluating the
delivered pavement marking performance, safety performance, potential cost savings, and the most suitable
performance measures and measurement protocols for inclusion into the PBPMMCs.
The evaluations found inconclusive evidence as to the benefit of the PBPMMC from a safety,
marking performance, or cost-effectiveness standpoint. Recommendations are provided to improve future
PBPMMCs.
