• 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.
