7    (20 ILCS 2705/2705-590)
8    Sec. 2705-590. Roadbuilding criteria; life-cycle cost 
9analysis.
10    (a) As used in this Section, "life-cycle cost" means the 
11total of the cost of the initial project plus all anticipated 
12future costs over the life of the pavement. Actual, relevant 
13data, and not assumptions or estimates, shall be used to the 
14extent such data has been collected.
15    (b) The Department shall develop and implement a life-cycle 
16cost analysis for each new construction or reconstruction 
17project undertaken by the State for roads State road project 
18under its jurisdiction for which the total pavement costs 
19exceed $500,000 funded in whole, or in part, with State or 
20State-appropriated funds. The Department shall design and 
21award these paving projects utilizing material having the 
22lowest life-cycle cost. All pavement design life shall ensure 
23that State and State-appropriated funds are utilized as 
 
 
HB1487- 2 -LRB098 05525 MLW 35560 b

1efficiently as possible. When alternative material options are 
2substantially equivalent on a life-cycle cost basis, the 
3Department may make a decision based on other criteria. At the 
4discretion of the Department, interstate highways with high 
5traffic volumes or experimental projects may be exempt from 
6this requirement.
7    (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, a 
8life-cycle cost analysis shall compare equivalent designs 
9based upon this State's actual historic project schedules and 
10costs as recorded by the pavement management system, and may 
11include estimates of user costs throughout the entire pavement 
12life.
13    (d) For pavement projects for which this State has no 
14actual historic project schedules and costs as recorded by the 
15pavement management system, the Department may use actual 
16historical and comparable data for equivalent designs from 
17states with similar climates, soil structures, or vehicle 
18traffic.
