Steps
Confirm whether the project's governing spec is IRI-based or still profilograph-based, since agencies are transitioning at different rates.
Run pre-mill and post-overlay profile measurements with DOT-certified equipment and a qualified operator.
Identify the DOT's specific pay-adjustment structure for the project (incentive/disincentive, incentive-only with no correction, or must-correct-only).
Calculate the lot/segment pay factor using the DOT's published formula or lump-sum/multiplier table.
Separately flag any localized roughness areas that fall under the DOT's 'must correct' provision, since these are evaluated apart from the lot average.
Known gotchas
Not every state has switched to IRI; applying an IRI-based calculation to a profilograph-spec contract (or vice versa) produces an invalid pay factor.
Pay-adjustment structures differ meaningfully by state — e.g., TxDOT runs a documented incentive-only Schedule 3 provision (no corrective action) for IRI under 60 in/mi, which is not how most other states structure it.
Localized 'must correct' thresholds are evaluated independently of the overall lot average smoothness — passing the lot average doesn't excuse an out-of-spec localized area.
