The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) budgets approximately $600 million per year for preconstruction work on the State Highway Operation and Protection Program. In the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year, $169 million of this money was spent on preconstruction work on pavement rehabilitation projects. Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission (CTC) are required to manage this money wisely, both as a matter of law and as a fiduciary duty. This research provides Caltrans and the CTC with tools, based on some of the currently recognized best practices in cost estimating, to assist in evaluating the cost estimates on their pavement rehabilitation projects. Further research could expand this research to a wider array of projects.
Because the construction phase accounts for the majority of project costs for pavement rehabilitation projects, most research on infrastructure projec
