... The contractor is obligated to provide the product and services specified in the contract provisions with certain technical, cost, time, and quality requirements. As the selection process proceeds from the preliminary engineering phase to the selection of the final pavement type, three distinct milestones are recognized in this process: • Advertising for bids -- The agency's internal assessments and decisions culminate with the development of contract provisions.

... 4It may be difficult to develop consensus on calculating differential costs during normal traffic operations between pavement types. N/A = Not applicable Table 10.
From page 32...
... The agency should establish criteria for evaluating contractorproposed pavement types and communicate them in the RFP or bid documents. Input from the pavement-type selection committee may be helpful in establishing contract provisions and evaluation criteria pertinent to pavements.
