Alternate design/alternate bid (ADAB) is a contracting technique that allows the pavement- type selection decision to be made as part of the procurement process. Contractors are permitted to bid their preferred pavement-type alternative using real-time market pricing for the paving materials. This synthesis documents the state of the practice in ADAB for pavement-type selection by highway agencies. The report covers: design aspects; life-cycle cost analysis; procurement policies, procedures, and programs; administration procedures; and case studies. Information used in this study was gathered through a literature review, a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs), review of DOT pavement design and procurement documents, and case examples.
