FWD Fee Policies
Note: AASHTO Member Departments, including State and Federal Highway departments, are not subject to the fee structure described below.
Domestic Facilities
Domestic facilities include those within the continental United States. A fee of $1800 will be charged for the first day of an on-site evaluation, and a fee of $900 will be charged for each day or portion of a day thereafter. A “day” is considered any amount of time up to nine (9) hours within the course of one calendar day. If an on-site evaluation extends past 9 hours of one calendar day, the center may be charged for a second day. In addition to the daily fees, charges may apply to offset any extraordinary travel costs. If a supplemental evaluation is required in order to resolve nonconformities and observations as noted on the evaluation report, the fee structure as described above will be used.
International Facilities
International facilities include any facility outside of the continental United States. In addition to the daily fees described above, international facilities may be subject to additional charges depending upon the location and any extraordinary travel costs.
