PennDOT said no. They wanted us to replace 4 beams, take the other 4 and refurbish. When we bid the job, the contractor said he would put in new beams for the same price as refurbing the other 4. PennDOT said no again. When we asked them why, they said if we replaced 4,it would be a maintainence project. If we replaced all 8,it would be a construction project.Who cares what you call it? Common sense would say you would replace all 8 and be done with it.
The difference between a construction and maintenance project probably has to do with state and/or federal funding options.
The difference might also change what agency is in charge of the process and oversight needed.
