Selection Procedures for Pavement Warranties: “How to establish criteria and how to select projects”

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) intends to continue supporting and encouraging the use of pavement warranties throughout the United States. This is the second in a series of documents intended to provide guidance on the use of pavement warranties. It is arranged to address various high points that should be considered in all warranty programs, independent of the source of funding or system. The first document was intended to provide agencies the information to gain an understanding of what warranties are and insight on why they should be used. This second document will discuss the selection procedures for pavement warranties and will include specification development, bonding or guarantee issues, project selection, acceptance, and verification procedures for warranty projects. In addition, warranty experiences from various states will also be presented.
