About this award
This is a federal contract awarded by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration to Iowa State University of Science and Technology (Iowa State University) to perform research on "Quantifying Pavement Albedo". The contract is a definitive contract with a cost-no-fee pricing type. The potential value of the contract is $656,225.66. There is no set-aside designation indicated for this award.
Under this contract, Iowa State University is the prime contractor. The university has subcontracted a portion of the work to Auburn University, which is leading the asphalt-related research aspects of the project. The overall effort involves conducting a literature review, proposing an experimental plan and modeling framework, and developing an implementation and market plan for the research findings related to how pavement type, material constituents, and age impact pavement albedo over time.
This contract appears to support the Federal Highway Administration's objectives in understanding and quantifying pavement albedo, which is a measure of the reflectivity of pavement surfaces and an important factor in managing urban heat island effects and pavement temperatures. The research findings could inform pavement design and materials selection to optimize pavement albedo and its environmental impact.
