Overview
The primary objective of this report is to present the concepts that transportation practitioners can use to:
- Perform work zone road user cost analysis.
- Apply WZ RUC analysis methods/tools in maintenance of traffic (MOT) alternative selection.
- Apply WZ RUC analysis methods/tools in contract administration to expedite project completion and minimize adverse work zone effects.
This document presents a detailed discussion of the key components of WZ RUC, input needs, and available tools. Step-by-step procedures to derive unit costs for monetary RUC components based on available cost sources and models are also provided. Finally, this document presents a process for applying RUC concepts in selecting an appropriate MOT and contracting strategy for managing work zone impacts and shortening project completion time. Because of the differences in agency decision making processes, it is expected that each agency will modify the recommended procedures to meet its specific needs.
