Needs Determination System ChangeGuiding Principles
Simple – New system should be easy to learn and use Credible –Transparent, accountable and no
gamesmanship Flexible– Software changes easily implemented(MSB)– Flexibility in use of dollars
Equitable – Needs computations are more realistic (ADT)
Needs Determination System Change (cont.) Continual needs approach – all segments will draw needs. Eight typical sections based on existing ADT– No projection factor– Used for needs estimation, not design – actual
construction widths could differSection ADT Typical Section Width (ft)
1 0 262 1 - 499 283 500 - 1,999 344 2,000 – 4,999 405 5,000 - 8,999 486 9,000 – 13,999 547 14,000 – 24,999 628 25,000 70
Needs Determination System Change (cont.) Uniform quantities for each section– Urban design quantities for all segments– Uniform soil factor – Quantities based on MnDOT approved design
