• Abstract:
  The purpose of this report is to discuss ways to receive more economical bids on pavement structures and pavement materials through use of alternative bidding. Throughout this report the term "alternative" will be used to mean either an alternate or an option which the contractor is permitted. Further, an alternate will be used to indicate the case when the contractor must designate on the proposal which choice he has selected. An option will be used for the case where the contractor can make the choice at a later date during the construction process. To reiterate, an alternative can be either an alternate or an option.
