Currently, performance and investment data depicted in these graphs are only based on State of Good Repair projects and do not represent the entire Capital Plan.


Description

  • CTDOT defines a highway building as a relatively permanent structure to house persons or property
  • CTDOT owns 509 highway buildings classified into four Tiers:
    • Tier 1: significant structures normally occupied by employees or the public
    • Tier 2: salt sheds
    • Tier 3: specialty, storage, and portable office type structures
    • Tier 4: no asset management plan; portable storage containers, buildings managed by other entities or programmed for demolition or sale

State of Good
Repair (SOGR)

  • Buildings with an overall rating of 3 or better on a scale of 1-5 are classified as being in a SOGR
  • Building ratings are a combination of age-based and condition-based component ratings

Building Age

  • Building age is based on the date CTDOT acquired the asset or the date of the last (like new) renovation
  • Tier 1 buildings have a 60-year life cycle with a 30-year mid-life SOGR upgrade
  • Life cycles and the need for mid-life SOGR upgrades vary for Tier 2 & 3 buildings

Performance Projections

Performance projection funding levels are based on the replacement value and include a 1.6 factor to account for non-building related project administration costs for engineering, rights-of-way, and construction incidentals and contingencies.

Asset Valuation

$1,009,000,000

  • Tier 1 buildings: $821M
  • Tier 2 buildings: $173M
  • Tier 3 buildings: $15M

Asset valuation is the replacement cost of the asset in current year dollars. For buildings, the replacement costs includes any site work necessary for the building to function such as water and sewer systems, generators, and fuel stations as applicable.

Measures & Goals

Federal targets for buildings have not yet been established. The following State Goals have been set:

  • Tier 1 buildings: maintain 80% in a SOGR
  • Tier 2 buildings: maintain 80% in a SOGR
  • Tier 3 buildings: maintain 50% in a SOGR

In this chart:

  • Tier 1, 2, and 3 projections based on funding as of 12/31/22
  • "Current Funding" shown in the graphs is limited to funding programed to address State of Good Repair. Projected performance is expected to be greater due to asset improvements funded through CTDOT's Capital Program which are not captured. The Department will soon be able to capture this funding through a project asset data system in development.
  • *NOTE: Performance projections and asset valuation were not updated from the previous (2023) fact sheet.
