From page 1...
... NBMD collects outputs from existing DOT data systems and casts these outputs into standard format. This report summarizes current practice in the United States in bridge maintenance work and bridge maintenance data systems, presents NBMD data tables and NBMD software utilities, reviews tasks in collection and use of bridge inventory, condition and maintenance data from US DOTs, applies NBMD data to the computation of element-level costs of maintenance, and proposes a plan for implementation of NBMD.

From page 2...
... NBMD has tables that define maintenance actions, bridge elements and maintenance resources. Definition tables relate DOT data codes to NBMD plain language keywords.

From page 3...
... Implementation Plan NBMD becomes more useful and more valuable as its store of bridge maintenance data grows. The implementation plan is twofold: to provide for ongoing data collection and associated management of NBMD datasets, and; to develop applications for NBMD data that can be adopted by DOTs.

From page 4...
... Deployment at DOTs NBMD establishes a framework for collaboration and sharing of data on bridge maintenance among interested DOTs. DOTs individually create NBMD-compatible data records and assemble NBMD data tables.

... Costs may be direct costs, or a combination of direct costs and user costs, agency costs or other explicit or implicit costs. Inflation indexes may be obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers, from RS Means, from the US Department of Commerce or other sources.
