This project may contain Federal Funds. This project requires 21% DBE participation, or if the contract goal is not met, documented evidence of good faith efforts. The Complexity Factor for this project is 0 The Consultant who is selected for this project and all Subconsultants the Prime Consultant will be using are scheduled to attend an initial meeting on November 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Bureau of Programming Office in Springfield. Services are required to statistically evaluate the correlation between IDOT's pavement Condition Rating Survey (CRS) values and Federal pavement performance measures. Pavement performance measures have been established by the FHWA for reporting each state's pavement conditions on the NHS (PM2). The federally-mandated performance measures (IRI, rutting, faulting, and cracking) are key to preserving federal funding distributions to IDOT and maintaining flexibility in how those funds can be used. Historically, IDOT has used CRS to manage its pavement network, and the information provided by the CRS surveys provides the backbone to the pavement project and treatment selection processes developed as part of implementing asset management. However, the distress data considered in calculating the CRS differ from what is required for federal reporting on the NHS. Additionally, CRS sections are generally determined by recent construction projects, while PM2 sections are 0.1-mile. These factors prevent a direct one-to-one-comparison of the data. Because the CRS is calculated from IRI, rutting, and faulting (as appropriate for pavement type) and several different cracking measures, the initial assumption in 2018 was that CRS would reasonably correlate to the federal pavement performance measures. IDOT has now been collecting both CRS data and the PM2 metrics since 2018, so a sufficient amount of data is available to perform a statistical analysis.
