Local government

The purpose of this course is to provide training and guidelines for the use of Superpave/Gyratory mix designs by local agencies in Minnesota. Local agencies need to understand what Superpave is and is not; what it is designed to do; how it works, particularly for low volume roads; what impacts it will have on pavement and mixture design, construction, maintenance, performance and cost; and how to implement Superpave/Gyratory mixtures under Mn/DOT's specifications. This course will provide focused, state-specific information on traffic, materials, design, construction, quality management, performance and specification issues. When the term "agency" is used in these guidelines, it should be understood to refer to either a local agency or a consultant performing design work on behalf of that agency. These guidelines frequently refer to the 2004 Mn/DOT 2360 Combined specification. Specifications continually evolve and improve. The reader should be certain to use the appropriate year's specifications for a given contract, preferably the most recent."

A simple and fair method for reimbursing local government units for use of their roads as detours by Mn/Dot was agreed upon by a task force consisting of Mn/DOT and county engineers. Nine different detours were evaluated by three methods of payment. The methods of payment are described in detail and the theoretical amount of payment for each detour is given. The actual amount expended for each detour under current practices is also given.
