... Michigan DOT is required by law to select the alternative with the lowest life-cycle cost. Twenty-nine of the 35 responding state DOTs perform LCCA for new construction/reconstruction projects, out of which 22 report having formal procedures, 6 indicate use of a probabilistic process, and 14 indicate consideration of user costs in the analysis.

... , the agency should perform a risk analysis to determine the contractor's scope and how stringent the contract provisions for pavement-type selection should be. • In design-build projects involving operations and maintenance responsibilities and long-term performance warranty, the contractor assumes the risks associated with postconstruction for an extended period of time.
