Pavement marking degradation data analysis

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has established an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on pavement marking degradation data analysis. This contract enables ODOT to procure advanced technical services for analyzing retroreflectivity data across 118 locations and over 1,350 line-miles of pavement markings. The primary scope involves utilizing statistical and machine learning techniques to develop comprehensive degradation curves, enabling precise tracking of pavement marker service life and optimizing maintenance schedules. The work is aligned with the 11th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and will leverage sophisticated analytical approaches including non-linear regression, curve fitting, Monte Carlo simulations, and machine learning models like gradient boosting and random forest techniques.

Environmental Solutions & Innovations, Inc. (ESI) has been awarded the competitive selection contract (DOT53626-1) with a performance period from October 27, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The contract is state-specific to Ohio and classified under the UNSPSC code 72151306 for pavement marking services. ESI's total project budget is $46,155.27, covering 304 labor hours across five subtasks including data cleaning, analysis, draft and final reporting, and project management. The contract was competitively bid with a minimum technical score threshold of 1,000 points, with ESI's proposal meeting the technical requirements and offering a comprehensive approach to pavement marking degradation analysis for ODOT.
