Nearly all of the aspects/features of the renewal projects identified as a basis for grouping the products were included in the expanded summaries document, and that information was used to develop a preliminary integration/packaging matrix and a corresponding framework/process for the integration tool.

50 Revision of Integration/Packaging Matrix and Tool Framework/ Process Identification of Problems/Constraints and Corresponding Needs The SHRP 2 Renewal products have the potential to address many different needs within a highway agency, as well as needs among other stakeholders involved in the highway renewal process (e.g., contractors, consultants, utility companies, railroads)

51 Discussion Topic Workshop Comments A stepwise approach to product implementation should be considered for each product. An analogy to this is the implementation of a highway project, which begins with planning, goes to design, and then to construction.

52 Discussion Topic Workshop Comments There are two different ways for implementation to occur. One is at the project or functional level; the other is at the central-office or program level.

69 Example 1: Missouri Route 141 Roadway Improvement Project Background The performance specifications developed under R07 were demonstrated as part of highway projects in three locations. These included a roadway improvement project on Route 141 in Chesterfield, Missouri, a bridge rehabilitation project on Route 208 in Spotsylvania and Louisa Counties in Virginia, and an HMA pavement resurfacing project on US-90 (Frontage Road)

72 Implementing the R23 research products helped WSDOT identify a renewal strategy and to successfully complete this rehabilitation project. The scoping tool allowed WSDOT to select a design that saved over $4 million in life-cycle costs compared to the next best alternative and that could be implemented as a rapid renewal project.
