Project bundling is a comprehensive and accelerated delivery solution. It:

Streamlines design, contracting, and construction;
Allows agencies to capitalize on economies of scale to increase efficiency; and
Supports greater collaboration during project delivery and construction.

With passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), project bundling becomes even more relevant and important. The BIL specifically mentions project bundling and bridge bundling as alternative contracting methods for enhanced program delivery.
Local agencies and may bundle projects with other local or state agencies. For example, the San Francisco Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission is encouraging member agencies to bundle paving projects to expand treatment options not feasible in small quantities.

Evaluating Pavement Condition web conference
2022-05-19 08:30 - 10:30
Agencies need to know what they have and its condition to make informed project and treatment decisions.
This 2-hour virtual training provides guidelines for conducting asphalt pavement condition surveys based on the Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) methodology.

Identify common pavement distresses.
Assign appropriate PASER ratings based on observable conditions.
Identify suitable maintenance and rehabilitation treatment options based on condition survey information.

Participants are encouraged to bring photos of distresses in their network to class. Anyone without a basic understanding of asphalt pavement distresses is also encouraged to complete a 10-minute primer prior to class.
Note: This is the first in a series of trainings that support pavement management. This class is a prerequisite for Pavement Condition Assessment Field Training, a 4-hour in-person training that explains how to conduct pavement condition surveys using PASER ratings.
