Team:	Long-Term Pavement Performance Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description:	The final report, currently entitled LTPP: 20 Years of Pavement Research – A Summarizing Review of the Long-Term Pavement Performance Program, will tell the story of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program. Thus, it will serve as an invaluable document to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) management, State highway agency personnel, and researchers in describing how the program began, accomplishments and challenges faced along the way, and the final product delivered to United States taxpayers. The report is about 90 percent written and consists of the following eight chapters and a section for appendices: Introduction (DRAFT written)Program Management and Finances (DRAFT written)Data Collection (DRAFT written)LTPP Data Storage and Dissemination (DRAFT written)Turning Data Into Results (DRAFT written)LTPP Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Processes (DRAFT written)Coordination and Communication (DRAFT not written)The Road Ahead (DRAFT not written)

Funding Amount:	$74,666.00
FHWA Program Name:	Long-Term Pavement Performance
Goals:	The objective of this task order is to provide publishing support to the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program in finalizing a report that fully documents (to date) the history and accomplishments of the LTPP program.
Project Type:	Offsite
Background Information:	This report covers the data collection, data processing, and data analysis activities of the program. This historical document will provide technical and programmatic detail on how the test sites were selected and the rationale used for developing and implementing products. It will also include policy statements for managing the daily activities of this research program.
Test Methodology:	The contractor shall be responsible for compiling information provided by the Government, preparing drafts, incorporating edits, proofing, designing the layout, and preparing print files for Government Printing Office (GPO) offset and digital printing as well as providing section 508 captions and content for Web posting by the Federal Highway Administration Web team.
