22.15 	Sec. 23. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 174.185, is amended to read:
22.16 	174.185 PAVEMENT LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS.
22.17 		Subdivision 1.Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the following definitions 
22.18 	apply.
22.19 	(a) "Life-cycle cost" is the sum of the cost of the initial pavement project and all 
22.20 	anticipated costs for maintenance, repair, and resurfacing over the life of the pavement. 
22.21 	Anticipated costs must be based on Minnesota's actual or reasonably projected maintenance, 
22.22 	repair, and resurfacing schedules, and costs determined by the Department of Transportation 
22.23 	district personnel based upon recently awarded local projects and experience with local 
22.24 	material costs.
22.25 	(b) (a) "Life-cycle cost analysis" is or "analysis" means a comparison of life-cycle costs 
22.26 	among competing paving materials using equal design lives and equal comparison periods.
22.27 	process for evaluating the total economic worth of a usable project segment by analyzing 
22.28 	initial costs and discounted future costs, such as maintenance, user costs, reconstruction, 
22.29 	rehabilitation, restoring, and resurfacing costs, over the life of the project segment.
22.30 	(b) "Minimum requirements" means a combination of pavement, base, and subbase 
22.31 	materials that minimizes the total system cost to achieve the specified design performance 
22.32 	requirements. Design performance requirements are based on design traffic volumes, 
23.1 	reliability, standard deviation, pavement structural characteristics, and various material 
23.2 	properties for structural design.
23.3 	(c) "Pavement" means any material used for paved traffic lanes, typically asphalt or 
23.4 	concrete, including the underlying materials inherent to each pavement alternative considered.
23.5 	(d) "Rounded value" means a measurement that is rounded to the nearest half-inch 
23.6 	increment.
23.7 	(e) "Shoulder" means the portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way, 
23.8 	outside of the edge of the pavement for accommodation of stopped vehicles, emergency 
23.9 	use, and lateral support of base and surface courses.
23.10 	(f) "Substantial plan development" means the point in time during the plan development 
23.11 	process after which any further activities would preclude any of the feasible alternatives 
23.12 	from being selected or constructed.
23.13 	(g) "Superfluous materials" means materials that are in excess of rounded values and 
23.14 	that are not necessary to meet the minimum requirements for a feasible alternative.
23.15 		Subd. 2.Required analysis. (a) For each project in the reconditioning, resurfacing, and 
23.16 	road repair funding categories any project with 60,000 or more square yards of paving, the 
23.17 	commissioner shall must perform a life-cycle cost analysis and shall document the lowest 
23.18 	life-cycle costs and all alternatives considered. The commissioner shall document the chosen 
23.19 	pavement strategy and, if the lowest life cycle is not selected, document the justification 
23.20 	for the chosen strategy. A life-cycle cost analysis is required for projects to be constructed 
23.21 	after July 1, 2011. and document the chosen pavement strategy as provided by this section. 
23.22 	The commissioner must perform the life-cycle cost analysis prior to substantial plan 
23.23 	development.
23.24 	(b) When conducting a life-cycle cost analysis, the commissioner must:
23.25 	(1) derive initial and future costs from Minnesota-based historical data of roadways with 
23.26 	similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural or 
23.27 	urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle classification 
23.28 	percentages;
23.29 	(2) determine the analysis period based on the longest design life of all feasible 
23.30 	alternatives or 60 years, whichever is longer;
23.31 	(3) compensate for any life added or lost due to rounding if pavement thickness is rounded 
23.32 	up or down;
24.1 	(4) ensure that each feasible alternative being considered in the analysis meets the 
24.2 	minimum requirements for that alternative and must consider only the pavement, base, and 
24.3 	subbase materials that are required to meet the minimum criteria for that alternative;
24.4 	(5) identify all feasible alternatives, including a full range of rehabilitation strategies for 
24.5 	both rigid and flexible pavements;
24.6 	(6) include agency costs, including but not limited to initial pavement, future rehabilitation 
24.7 	and maintenance projects, overhead, design, contract administration, and routine maintenance;
24.8 	(7) include mobilization costs related to construction, maintenance, or rehabilitation;
24.9 	(8) include costs for traffic control to protect workers and the public during each 
24.10 	construction, maintenance, or rehabilitation activity in the analysis;
24.11 	(9) include evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions through the entire analysis period, 
24.12 	including emissions generated during material production and by users of the road;
24.13 	(10) identify and use realistic timing of future maintenance and construction practices 
24.14 	using similar characteristics, including but not limited to similar geographical location, rural 
24.15 	or urban classification, traffic volumes, construction practices, staging, and vehicle 
24.16 	classification percentages;
24.17 	(11) for each feasible alternative with residual service life at the end of the analysis 
24.18 	period, calculate the value of any residual service life and include the value as a credit in 
24.19 	the final year of the analysis period;
24.20 	(12) include an explanation of the methodology used to produce the cost estimate and 
24.21 	why that method was selected; and
24.22 	(13) include an explanation of the timing selected of rehabilitation and maintenance and 
24.23 	why that timing was selected.
24.24 	(c) The commissioner must not include the following in a life-cycle cost analysis:
24.25 	(1) elements that are the same for all alternatives;
24.26 	(2) life-cycle calculations for shoulder pavement, shoulder base, or shoulder subbase; 
24.27 	and
24.28 	(3) any superfluous material that is included as part of the feasible alternative but is not 
24.29 	required to meet the minimum requirements of the feasible alternative, including any material 
24.30 	that may be included due to the designer's preference or recommendation in the department's 
24.31 	Pavement Design Manual. This clause does not preclude the commissioner from selecting 
25.1 	a pavement strategy that uses superfluous materials, but the superfluous materials must not 
25.2 	be a factor in making the selection.
25.3 		Subd. 2a.Review and collaboration. (a) Before finalizing a pavement selection, the 
25.4 	commissioner must post a draft of the life-cycle cost analysis and the draft pavement selection 
25.5 	on the department's Office of Materials and Road Research website for 21 days. During 
25.6 	this period, the commissioner must allow industry association representatives to submit 
25.7 	questions and comments. The commissioner must collaborate with the person who submitted 
25.8 	the question or comment, where necessary, to ensure the commissioner fully understands 
25.9 	the question or comment. The commissioner must respond to each comment or question in 
25.10 	writing, which must include a description of any associated changes that will be made to 
25.11 	the life-cycle cost analysis.
25.12 	(b) After the review period closes, the commissioner must make revisions to the life-cycle 
25.13 	cost analysis in response to questions or comments received. If the commissioner revises 
25.14 	the type of pavement from concrete to asphalt or from asphalt to concrete, the commissioner 
25.15 	must post the revised life-cycle cost analysis for review in accordance with paragraph (a).
25.16 		Subd. 2b.Selection. (a) After the review period required in subdivision 2a and any 
25.17 	subsequent changes to the analysis, the commissioner must select the pavement strategy 
25.18 	and prepare a document of justification. At a minimum, the document of justification must:
25.19 	(1) include all comments and questions received during the review and the commissioner's 
25.20 	responses to each;
25.21 	(2) explain why the pavement strategy was selected;
25.22 	(3) if the lowest life-cycle cost is not selected, justify why a strategy with a higher 
25.23 	life-cycle cost was selected; and
25.24 	(4) identify any superfluous materials, quantify the superfluous materials' associated 
25.25 	costs, and provide the rationale for the superfluous materials' inclusion.
25.26 	(b) The commissioner must submit the analysis and document of justification to a licensed 
25.27 	professional engineer for review. A life-cycle cost analysis is not considered final until it 
25.28 	is certified and signed by a licensed professional engineer as provided by Minnesota Rules, 
25.29 	part 1800.4200.
25.30 	(c) For all projects that began construction on or after January 1, 2023, the commissioner 
25.31 	must store all life-cycle cost analyses and documents of justification on the department's 
25.32 	website in a manner that allows the public to easily access the documents.
26.1 	(d) After completing the certification and signature requirements of paragraph (b) and 
26.2 	the posting requirements of paragraph (c), the commissioner may advance the project to 
26.3 	substantial plan development.
26.4 		Subd. 3.Report. The commissioner shall must report annually to the chairs and ranking 
26.5 	minority members of the senate and house of representatives committees with jurisdiction 
26.6 	over transportation finance on the results of the analyses required in subdivision 2, the public 
26.7 	review required by subdivision 2a, and the final selection and document of justification 
26.8 	required by subdivision 2b.
