83 State 16. What is the average unit cost of patches in your area? Alabama The average cost is approximately $1,000 per ton. Alaska Asphalt patching $1.30/sq. ft; crack sealing $2.00/lft; emulsion/chip $1.35/sq. ft. All above include striping. Arizona Not readily available and difficult to estimate. In FY 2012, we expended about $4M of the $130M maintenance budget to fill potholes with about 16,000 cubic yard of material. Arkansas $473.00 per cubic yard for temporary maintenance costs California Donât track Connecticut Cost per ton Delaware ~$110/ton for cold patch (temporary material) ~ $80/ton for mainline patching District of Columbia $250 per ton hand-laid asphalt patch in-place under contract; $300 per ton hand-laid asphalt in-place; DC forcesâWork includes remove and replace Florida Estimated engineering cost per ton is $293.21 for manual patching and $166.79 per ton for mechanical patching. Hawaii $200/ton Idaho Our Maintenance Management System was just implemented and costs are not available. Illinois Hot mix asphalt: $120/sq. yd; jointed PCC: $150/sq. yd; continuously reinforced PCC: $170/sq. yd. Indiana Shallow patches: $450.87 for fiscal year 2012âUnit cost, which is total cost per ton of accomplishment. Deep patching: $259.35 for fiscal year 2012âUnit cost, which is total cost per ton of accomplishment. Iowa Data are very variable depending on type of patch, quantity, location, and other factors. Kansas Approx. $400 per ton (frontline cost only) Kentucky State forces $60 per ton; contract forces $85 per ton Louisiana $307 per ton; this includes material, labor, equipment, and overhead. Maine $350 per ton (including all labor, materials, and equipment) Massachusetts HMA patching = $150â$200/ton; traffic control = $1,000/night; police (if required) = $400/night Mississippi The average cost per placed ton for âspot patchingâ for FY 2012 was about $423 state- wide for hot or cold mix asphalt placed manually. The average cost for larger patches placed with a paver was about $110 per ton in-place. Michigan $120â150/ton HMA $90â95/sq. yd PCC Minnesota Average price of asphalt hot mix is $75 per ton (depends on plant and material) Missouri $80 per ton Montana Hand patching $4.57/sq. ft; machine patching $4.63/sq. yd; rut fill $2.00 linear foot Nevada $45.00/cu. ft New Hampshire N/AâJust beginning to track these numbers New Jersey $354 per ton for manual pothole repair; less for spray patch injection technology, more for permanent patching. New Mexico In 2012, NMDOT spent $281,929 on pothole patching and $204,775 on emergency hand patching. NMDOT does not have any automated patching equipment. All patching is done with state forces. North Carolina When part of a TIP project, value is $195/yd2 North Dakota Estimated cost/mile for 2 in. contract patching is $150,000/mile (It seems like these types of projects often end up more like an overlay than patching a few intermittent bad areas.)

This includes our loaded labor rate, equipment rental rate, and the cost of materials. This includes both patching by injection machine and by hand.
84 State 16. What is the average unit cost of patches in your area? Tennessee Our budget cost for Activity 401 Manual Spot Patching is $515 per ton; however, our reported cost per ton is $312.76.

Varies considerably. Washington Varies by region and maintenance area. Costs are not well documented but we are working to do so. Wyoming Contract prices: Asphalt patching $75/ton; Concrete slab replacement $117/sq. yd; Concrete pavement spall repair $91/sq. ft; In-house maintenance prices: Hand patching (pothole repair) $425/ton; motor grader patching $105/ton; motor grader leveling $85/ton; Laydown machine leveling $90/ton; spray injection patching $410/ton; Concrete paving repair $52/sq. ft.
