Annual benefits and costs were discounted at 3% and 7% over a 50 year lifespan to reflect present value
benefits. The full analysis can be found in the in Table 2 and in the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis
Excel workbook. All documents referenced in this analysis can be found online at

It is estimated that user cost (fuel usage and labor/personal time savings) represent approximately 78%
of the total annual benefits in 2016. The high percentage of user cost savings reflects the impact this
bridge will have on the local economy, middle class workers, and fuel usage. For simplicity the full
project costs (including the amounts spent in previous years) were all included in 2016.

Baseline
The benefits and costs detailed in this analysis represent the life cycle cost difference between the
identified alignment and the “No Build” scenario. This alignment have been narrowed down through
the multiple studies. The most recent Alternative Evaluation Matrix from the Feasibility Study can be
found online at www.henrycountyengineer.com/NewBridge/AlternativeEvaluationMatrix.pdf. This
bridge project is creating a more direct route and this analysis details the benefits associated with the
route creation. With the exception of building a bridge, there are no reasonable maintenance or traffic
solution that will address the “No Build” scenario’s logistical, distance and traffic problems. Previously
conducted Planning and Feasibility studies go through different alternatives.
Crash data was obtained from the shortest route between the start location and the end location of the
bridge, of which the majority of traffic is to and from the south industrial area, also included was a small
part of a route between County Road 12 and U.S. 6. There are many routes to travel to the south of the
river industrial area, shown in Figure 3 of the TIGER Project Narrative, and to be conservative only crash
data along the routes described above were considered. The majority of the routes are state routes and
do not now or in the future have the need for widening. The exception, is when vehicles enter the S.R.
108 (Perry Street) Bridge. The current bridge is a choke point with a large amount of accidents. Since
the bridge was just replaced 11 years ago there is no plausible solution to reduce the number of
accidents or congestion. As stated previously, to be conservative the crash analysis was not performed
on other routes that vehicles use. It is worth noting that along these unanalyzed branches there is
potential for very minor traffic congestion upgrades.
There is a lot of potential for private development associated with the construction of a new bridge.
There will also be an increase in property value to land with access to the bridge. Due to the difficulty in
quantifying and calculating this information, as well as Henry County’s small staff and lack of in house
economic personnel, this information will not be considered. Both the baseline and the new project’s
benefits will assume no additional development or increase in property value. This is not realistic but
will keep the results of this analysis conservative. Please refer to Table 1 and the Alternative Evaluation
Matrix for general information on the benefits associated with a build and no build scenario.
III.
Personal and Truck Travel Costs
Personal vehicle and truck vehicle travel cost was analyzed separately. This was done because of data
received regarding truck movement and activity from Campbell’s. It is also important to note that trucks
are generally routed 2.4 miles east and 1 mile north before they can start heading west, this is done to
help avoid traveling through the center of the City of Napoleon which includes many stoplights (Figure 3
of the Project Narrative). Since this is a new structure travel costs associated with construction
disruption should be minimal. The table below shows the comparable origin and destination distances
with and without a new bridge. As stated above, the C.R. 12 to U.S. 24 west route is for trucks only.

a. Personal Travel Costs
(Found in the Personal Vehicles Tab of the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis)
The Certified Traffic Report lists the opening year Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of the bridge as 7,660.
Since truck data is analyzed separately only the personal vehicle ADT of 6,780 will be used for this
analysis. The personal and business recommended hourly values were obtained from the TIGER BenefitCost Analysis Resource Guide. These values were $12.50 and $24.40, respectively. Since this part of the
analysis does not include trucks and the number of vehicles conducting business is unknown, the $12.50
value will be used.
The average time net savings to destination was based on timed runs and vehicle tracking, the result of
which can be found as cell F30 of the Times to Industrial tab of the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis.
As detailed in the tab the average time net savings is 5.25 minutes. The following table details the
calculations for time savings for personal vehicles.

The new bridge’s personal vehicle time savings benefit has a significant impact on the value of the
benefits of the analysis. The shortest route between origin and destination was used to determine
these benefits.
The number of vehicles is based on current traffic patterns and counts, all of which is detailed further in
the Certified Traffic Report.
b. Truck Travel Costs
(Found in the Truck Savings Tab of the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis)
The Certified Traffic Report lists the opening year Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of the bridge as 7,660. The
report also details 670 as the commercial volume. To provide a conservative analysis only truck

estimates that have been verified coming from Campbell’s will be used (which is about 400 per day).
General estimations of the number of trucks going to each of the 2 destinations analyzed are included.
This analysis does not include trucks entering other facilities south of the river. The inclusion of these
trucks would only increase the benefits shown in this analysis. The $25.80 recommended truck driver
hourly value was obtained from the TIGER Benefit-Cost Analysis Resource Guide. Further information on
truck travel data can be obtained in the Planning Study and Section IV(d) of the Project Narrative.
The average time net savings to respective destinations was based on timed runs and vehicle tracking,
the result of which can be found in cells D30 of the Times to US24W tab and F30 of the Times to
Industrial tab of the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis. As detailed in the tab the average time net
savings is 4.5 and 5.25 minutes, respectively. The following table details the calculations for time
savings for known truck traffic.

Vehicle Fuel Costs
(Found in the Personal Vehicles and Truck Savings Tab of the Maumee River Bridge Cost Analysis)
Vehicle fuel cost was determined from the miles traveled for Truck and Personal Vehicles. According to
the EPA the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of 21.6 miles per gallon
(Page 2, Greenhouse Gas Emissions from a Typical Passenger Vehicle). Personal vehicle mileage and
gasoline offset data can be found in Table 6. Traffic data, including opening year ADT, is
detailed in the Ohio DOT approved Certified Traffic Report.

The fuel cost savings for trucks was figured knowing the estimated number of trucks going to a
particular destination, while assuming an average gasoline cost of $3.00 per gallon. The total annual
fuel savings for trucks is nearly $375,000. The annual savings reflects a reduced cost of doing business
while making companies more competitive regionally and nationally.
V.
Safety
An analysis of the traffic crash data was conducted on the shortest distance route. As stated in previous
sections, and shown in Figure 3 of the Project Narrative, there is not a direct way to get to the south
industrial area. As such there are multiple traveling routes that could be analyzed. Data was obtained
using the Ohio Department of Transportation’s GIS Crash Analysis Tool (GCAT) and ODOT’s crash
analyzer program excel workbook. The crash data analyzer workbook can be found online at
www.henrycountyengineer.com/NewBridge/MaumeeRiverBridgeCrashAnalysis.xlsm. The summary tab
titled “TIGER GRANT KABCO-AIS” details the injury and property damage cost information. The baseline
injury/property damage rates were obtained by retrieving and averaging data from 2009 to 2014. Other
information used to obtain the data can be found in the other tabs of the workbook. The State of Ohio
law enforcement agencies uses the KABCO scale to measure severity of injuries. This data must be
6
Maumee River Bridge Benefit Cost Analysis
converted into AIS scale. This conversion can be found in Table 8 or in the workbook’s tab referenced
above.
Table 8. Injury and Property Damage Costs Associated with Shortest Route
The table above details total injury and property damage costs of $1,094,582. This number reflects the
number of crashes along the shortest route and part of the eliminated route going to U.S. 6 (Figure 3).
Obviously, it is impossible to predict exactly the reduction of crashes that will occur. It is safe to assume
that the vast reduction in vehicles using this route will result in a substantial reduction in crashes. It is
also safe to assume that the much shorter route that will be established we create less of an
opportunity for accidents to occur. As stated previously this analysis is a conservative approach to

Maumee River Bridge Benefit Cost Analysis
reflect injury and property damage data and does not reflect injuries along numerous other routes used
to access the south industrial area. All current travel routes to reach the south industrial area will be
eliminated and consolidated to the new river bridge.

State of Good Repair
Pavement cost responsibility can be a unit cost associated with a certain type of vehicle traveling on a
mile of road. Table V-4 of Chapter V of a 1997 Federal Highway Cost Allocation Study Final Report
(http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policy/hcas/final/five.htm) states that the cost responsibility associated with
the average passenger car is $0.0005 per mile and the cost responsibility associated with the average
truck that is heading to the south industrial area is $0.0067 per miles. As detailed in Tables 6 and 7 the
number of extra miles traveled for personal vehicles and trucks is 7,424,100 and 560,457, respectively.
The annual offset of maintenance cost is $3,712 for personal vehicles and $3,755 for trucks. This
amount reflects a small but important savings in future pavement rehabilitation and maintenance.
Further Details can be found in the Personal Vehicles tab Cell B34 and the Truck Savings Tab Cells B46
and C46 of the Cost Analysis workbook.
VII.
Environmental Sustainability
Emission reductions for personal vehicles are provided in grams per mile. The EPA regularly publishes
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from a Typical Passenger Vehicle. This document states that the average
CO2 emissions per mile is 411 grams. Other emission rates were obtained from an EPA document titled
Average Annual Emissions and Fuel Consumption for Gasoline-Fueled Passenger Cars and Light Trucks.
This document does not have an average of all personal vehicles but does break it up into cars and light
trucks. In order to obtain a rate for all personal vehicles the 411 grams per mile from the first report
was compared to the CO2 emission rate of 368.4 grams per mile for cars and 513.5 grams per mile for
trucks. This was done in order to find a ratio of cars to light duty trucks. The calculated ratio was 70%
8
Maumee River Bridge Benefit Cost Analysis
cars and 30% light duty trucks (368.4 x 0.70 + 513.5 x 0.30 = 411). Other rates were properly modified to
have an adjusted average for all personal vehicles. The following table details the results.

The value of emissions per metric ton can be found in the TIGER Benefit-Cost Analysis Resource Guide.
As shown in the table the savings of CO2 emissions is 3,051 metric tons per year. The value of those
savings is $140,360. CO2 emission values are the only value in the overall benefit cost analysis that must
be maintained separately because of the increasing annual future social cost associated with them.
They also have a 3% discounted present value regardless of whether the other benefits are discounted
at 3% or 7%. The recommended monetized social cost values for carbon dioxide are used when
computing the total present value benefits found in the summary section. The total non CO2 emissions
benefit for personal vehicles is $84,551.73. Further Details can be found in the Personal Vehicles tab
Cells B20 through B32 of the Cost Analysis workbook.
Emission reductions for trucks were figured out in kilograms per gallon of diesel and grams per mile for
non CO2 emissions. CO2 fuel emissions coefficients can be found from the Energy Information
Administration’s Fuel Emissions Coefficients. The EPA published a document titled Average In-Use
Emissions from Heavy Duty Trucks which details average emission rates for heavy duty trucks. The EIA’s
emission factors lists diesel fuel emissions as 10.15 KG per gallon. The EPA’s document details emission
rates from Volatile Organic Compounds (0.447 g/mi), Nitrogen Oxides (8.613 g/mi), and Particulate
Matter (0.421 g/mi). The Particulate Matter emissions rate is the sum of the PM2.5 and PM10 emission
rates. As in previous sections the trucks were calculated separately based on their separate origin or
destination. The following table details the results.

Project Costs
The project costs were obtained from the stage 2 design costs. Several alternatives have been
evaluated in the past. The final three alternative (No Build, S.R. 110 to Industrial Drive, and S.R. 110 to
Enterprise Drive) were evaluated and the preferred alternative was to construct a bridge from S.R. 110
to Industrial Drive. Further information can be found in Project Narrative or Alternative Evaluation
Matrix. The life cycle cost analysis (Table 2) includes the total bridge costs ($12,667,795), miscellaneous
annual maintenance ($2,000) and a deck rehabilitation in year 26 ($1,000,000). The life cycle cost
analysis can be found as Table 2 or can be found in the LifeCycleCostMaster tab of the Cost Analysis
workbook. For simplicity all money spent for the project was listed as capital costs in 2016.
