Alternate pavement type bidding provides for at least two typical sections to be bid for a project, with the surface of asphalt or concrete. The Contractor will be able to choose which pavement type is best for them from a competition standpoint and the particular project location and aspects. GDOT does have a history of using alternates in certain areas of construction projects, when it has made economic sense.

New construction projects and major rehabilitation projects will be the predominate potential projects for this new process. The overall benefits to the State of Georgia for either surface type needs to be similar for the process to be beneficial to the public.

Alternate pavement type bidding will not be used for typical maintenance projects or minor widenings; based on driver expectation and maintenance factors it is the intent of GDOT to maintain the same pavement type across all lanes of travel.
