109 This example is intended to illustrate the steps an agency would take to analyze and prioritize preservation actions for tunnel operations and maintenance. While the example is fictional, manipulated real-world data have been used to illustrate the impact of many different preserva- tion actions in tunnels with varied average daily traffic and conditions. This example is an exten- sion of the example agency’s (Agency X) tunnels and preservation actions presented in the core sections of this guide. The agency has allocated $5,000,000 for the following fiscal year for the preservation of its tunnels. Across its entire transportation system, the agency has defined six LOS categories: 1. Reliability, 2. Safety, 3. Security, 4. Preservation, 5. Quality of service, and 6. Environment. The tunnels in Table D-1 are owned and operated by the agency. The tunnel supervisor has led several internal and external evaluations of the six tunnels in the system and has compiled a list of potential preservation actions. At this point, the tunnel supervisor has presented a list of 32 proposed actions resulting from consultant investiga- tions and recommendations, internal observations, and customers’ complaints to the tunnel owner. The full listing of preservation actions is evaluated for their impact on LOS (shown later in Table D-3; determination of LOS scores is explained in the following). Level-of-Service Score The first step to generate a prioritized list is to analyze how the actions affect the overall LOS. Each action is rated 1 (very little impact) to 5 (great impact) based on how it affects the six agency-established LOS goals. To generate a final LOS score, weights must be applied to the LOS categories based on agency priorities. After discussions, the AAMT has developed the follow- ing LOS weights. In the metric tool used, weighting is completed through percentages. All LOS weights should sum to 100%. A P P E N D I X D Detailed Example

110 Guide for the Preservation of Highway Tunnel Systems Reliability: 20% Safety: 40% Security: 5% Preservation: 18% Quality of Service: 15% Environment: 2% Total = 100% ü OK To determine the LOS score for a preservation action, ratings for each LOS category are multi- plied by the corresponding weight, summed, and then divided by 5 to achieve a score of between 0 and 100. Table D-2 provides an example showing the calculation of the LOS score for replacing the existing trench drains in Tunnel 1. Note that defined levels of service and their associated weights were determined by the AAMT in this example. N/A signifies that no rating was assigned to this LOS standard and is taken as a zero in the calculation. LOS score = [1(20) + 3(40) + 0(5) + 3(18) + 2(15) + 4(2)]/5 LOS score = 232/5 = 46.4 ü OK The remaining preservation actions were rated based on their impact on the six established levels of service. All 32 preservation actions, their ratings, and final calculated LOS scores are summarized in Table D-3. Cost-Effectiveness Score Next, the cost-effectiveness of each preservation action must be considered. The tunnel supervi- sor has compiled the following information for each preservation action to calculate the CE score: • Capital cost (the initial cost of the preservation action in present-value dollars; includes labor and equipment); Tunnel # Average Daily Traffic (x1000) Description 1 40 Rural tunnel on a major Interstate 2 100 High-traffic urban tunnel downtown in a major city 3 30 Low-traffic urban tunnel outside of city 4 19 Very-low-traffic urban tunnel downtown 5 50 Moderately high-traffic tunnel near Tunnel 2 6 75 High-traffic urban tunnel accessing a major city in close proximity to a river Table D-1.

Detailed Example 113 • Agency oversight cost (generally taken as a percentage of the capital cost); • Change in annual costs considering energy, maintenance, closures, reduction in accidents, reduction in staff, and so forth; • Average daily traffic for each tunnel; and • Service life after improvement. See the cost-effectiveness score worksheet in Table D-4 for a summary of all input (white) and output (gray). The following example calculates all output values for the replacement of trench drains in Tunnel 1. Present Value of Life-Cycle Cost (PV of LCC) First, calculate the PV of all future savings (or expenditures) due to the annual change in costs. This must take into account the discount rate. Excel’s PV function considers this through the “PMT” term. However, for complete understanding, see the following example to verify Excel’s calculation. ( ) ( )= +PV annual change in costs 1 i n where Annual change in costs = $3000 (savings), Discount rate, i = 3%, and Remaining life due to preservation action, n = 40 years. Table D-5 shows a summary of the present value of all future savings assuming an annual sav- ings of $3,000 at a discount rate of 3%. PV of all annual savings = $69,344.32, therefore PV of LCC = (capital cost + agency oversight cost) - (PV of all annual savings), and PV of LCC = $270,000 + $27,000 - $69,344.32 = $227,655.68, rounded to $227,656 ü OK. Since the remaining life due to the preservation actions varies greatly, annualizing the cost of the preservation action allows for a uniform comparison. Excel calculates the ALCC through the “PMT” function dependent on the present value, discount rate, and change in remaining life. The following long-hand calculation verifies Excel’s results for the trench drain replacement in Tunnel 1. Table D-4. Cost-effectiveness score worksheet.

ALCC = ($270,000 + $27,000) * [0.03(1 + 0.03)40]/[(1 + 0.03)40–1] - $3,000 ALCC = $9,848.93, rounded to $9,849 ü OK Considering that each tunnel in the agency’s system has a different ADT, the cost-effectiveness for each preservation action cannot be determined based on ALCC alone. Simply, the ALCC must be broken down further to an ALCC per average daily vehicle. The trench drains in Tunnel 1 are considered again in the following. Annual Cost per Average Daily Vehicle =ACDV ALCC ADT where ACDV = annual cost per average daily vehicle, $, ALCC = annualized life-cycle cost (previously calculated), $, and ADT = average daily traffic (not in thousands), # of vehicles. ACDV = $9,849/40,000 vehicles = $0.246, rounded to $0.25 ü OK Finally, a cost-effectiveness score can be determined based on the ACDV values calculated for each preservation action. For this set of data, a value of 10 is assigned as the multiplier in the Year Annual Savings Year Annual Savings Year Annual Savings 1 $2,912.62 16 $1,869.50 31 $1,199.96 2 $2,827.79 17 $1,815.05 32 $1,165.01 3 $2,745.42 18 $1,762.18 33 $1,131.08 4 $2,665.46 19 $1,710.86 34 $1,098.13 5 $2,587.83 20 $1,661.03 35 $1,066.15 6 $2,512.45 21 $1,612.65 36 $1,035.10 7 $2,439.27 22 $1,565.68 37 $1,004.95 8 $2,368.23 23 $1,520.08 38 $975.68 9 $2,299.25 24 $1,475.80 39 $947.26 10 $2,232.28 25 $1,432.82 40 $919.67 11 $2,167.26 26 $1,391.08 12 $2,104.14 27 $1,350.57 13 $2,042.85 28 $1,311.23 14 $1,983.35 29 $1,273.04 15 $1,925.59 30 $1,235.96 Total Savings $69,344.32 Table D-5.

Detailed Example 115 denominator. For more discussion on calibrating the cost-effectiveness score, see Section 5.3.4. As an example, the cost-effectiveness score for trench drains in Tunnel 1 is calculated in the following. Cost-Effectiveness Score [ ] [ ] ( ) ( ) = ∗ > = ∗ CE 100, if 100 ALCC ADT 10 100, otherwise CE 100 ALCC ADT 10 where CE = cost-effectiveness score, ADT = average daily traffic, total (input ADT is multiplied by 1,000), and ALCC/ADT = annual life-cycle cost per daily vehicle. CE = 100/[($9,849/40,000) * 10] = 40.6 ü OK Table D-6 shows a summary of all input (white) and output (gray) of the cost-effectiveness scores for all example preservation actions. Table D-6.

Detailed Example 117 Risk-Based Urgency Score The final component required to calculate the overall measure of effectiveness is the RBU score. The tunnel owner has compiled the following information for each preservation action. • Remaining life of asset before the preservation action is implemented. – If the preservation action is installing a new component that is not currently part of the tunnel system (i.e., manual fire alarm boxes in Tunnel #1), then the remaining life = 0. • Original service life of asset. • Current condition of asset. – Rate good (1), fair (2), poor (3), or severe (4). – Rate N/A whenever the proposed preservation action is installing a component that is new to the tunnel system. • Is the preservation action related to a code or standard compliance issue? – Enter yes (Y) or no (N).

120 Guide for the Preservation of Highway Tunnel Systems Urgency Score Urgency score = urgency * 10 Urgency score = 5 * 10 = 50.0 ü OK Table D-8 contains a summary of all input (white) and output (gray) for the RBU scores for all example preservation actions. Overall Measure of Effectiveness Now that all three scores (LOS, CE, and RBU) have been calculated, the overall measure of effectiveness can be determined. To allow for varying agency priorities and goals, weights must be assigned to each score and must add up to 100%. The AAMT has assigned the following weights to each score: LOS score: 35% CE score: 20% RBU score: 45% Total = 100% ü OK To calculate the overall measure of effectiveness, each score is multiplied by the applicable weight and summed. Table D-9 shows the results of this calculation for the trench drain example. The resulting MOE scores will be used to prioritize the improvements. For a complete summary of all scores, see Table D-10. Overall Measure of Effectiveness Total Score = 46.4 * (35/100) + 40.6 * (20/100) + 50.0 * (45/100) Total Score = 46.9 ü OK Prioritization of Preservation Actions Now that all of the preservation actions have been assigned a calculated priority based on total score, they can be sorted from highest to lowest priority. The user has the ability to override this prioritization by entering a user-designated priority. The user priority enables users to consider operational, political, or other factors that affect their planning for project implementation. The user has entered his or her rankings into the “User-Defined Priority” column in Table D-11. Priorities were established with consideration of improving safety; actions that improved safety were ranked higher than those that did not have an impact on safety. Table D-11 shows the full example of the user-defined prioritization of preservation actions.

124 Guide for the Preservation of Highway Tunnel Systems Evaluations of Funding and Staffing To evaluate the preservation actions that can be accomplished within the funding limit, to identify funding needs for future years, or to evaluate the staffing needs for future years, further analysis is needed. To facilitate these analyses, the user should collect the following information: • Percent of capital cost attributed to labor • Year that preservation action will be funded (This term is most effectively determined through trial and error by adjusting the user-priority values.) Contractor labor, materials, and agency oversight costs are calculated in the following for a project to replace trench drains. An escalation rate of 3% is assumed; the escalation rate is a user-input value that can be adjusted as required. These costs are calculated similarly for other preservation actions, as shown in Table D-12. Labor cost = (% labor) * capital cost Labor cost = (60/100) * $270,000 = $162,000 ü OK Table D-11.

Detailed Example 125 Labor cost with oversight = (labor cost) + (agency oversight) Labor cost with oversight = $162,000 + $27,000 = $189,000 Materials cost = (capital cost) - (labor cost) Materials cost = $270,000 - $162,000 = $108,000 ü OK Subtotal cost = (labor cost with oversight) + (materials cost) Subtotal cost = $189,000 + $108,000 = $297,000 ü OK Escalation = (subtotal cost) * (1 + escal.)(funding year - 1) - (subtotal cost) Escalation = $297,000 * (1 + 0.03)(5 - 1) - $297,000 = $37,276 ü OK Total cost = (subtotal cost) + escalation Total cost = $297,000 + $37,276 = $334,276 ü OK The agency has allocated $5,000,000 for funding year 1 tunnel preservation actions. Therefore, based on the user’s prioritization, the items in Table D-12 can be completed during funding year 1. It is recommended that the user then analyze the calculated prioritization, total costs, and tun- nel numbers when determining the final user priority. In effect, Table D-12 is the first iteration. For instance, perhaps the next iteration should consider tunnel locations, lane closure require- ments, and staffing. Due to the high cost of rehabilitating and upgrading the existing ventilation system in Tunnel 6, perhaps the agency should consider completing other preservation actions having a high impact on safety that are less costly. This would allow it to accomplish more of its list and save the costly upgrade for when it has more funding. The process outlined herein provides an initial means to compare and prioritize funda- mentally different actions across a system of tunnels; the final prioritization is ultimately up to the user. Using the agency cost information calculated for the prioritized preservation actions, it is pos- sible to estimate the agency staffing needs to support the implementation of the improvements (see Table D-13). The man-hours for the agency staff involved in implementing the preservation actions can be determined by adding a new column for man-hours and dividing the agency cost by an average hourly rate for agency personnel. If the preservation action is to be implemented in the current year, enter 1 in the funding year column to negate escalation.

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 816: Guide for the Preservation of Highway Tunnel Systems provides guidance on making informed decisions using an asset management process to support prioritization of highway tunnel preservation actions.

The guide explains how executives can incorporate and communicate capital funding needs for tunnel improvements as part of their overall transportation system funding. Additionally, the guide delivers a process for prioritizing needs, using an overall measure of effectiveness that is calculated using a risk-based urgency score, and developing capital funding and staffing programs to accomplish tunnel preservation goals. The guide also serves as a training tool for new personnel. The contractor’s final report is available from the project description page.
