Research Motivation Overall Problem Significant volatility in the cost of Asphalt Cement leads to uncertainty about transportation project cost Problems for Owners Price Volatility Uncertain Estimation Problem for Contractors

Research Motivation Related Issues to Owner Organizations Hidden price contingencies Very short-term price guarantees Not enough bidders Related Issues to Contractors Bid loss due to cost overestimation Profit loss due to cost underestimation

Research Objective Objective Create appropriate univariate time series models for estimating and forecasting fluctuations in asphalt cement price index.

Research Background Forecasting Models Causal Methods Pattern Analysis Methods Predicted variable is determined by independent explanatory variables Predicted variable is determined by its historical behaviors Regression Models Time Series Models

Time Series Forecasting Process Time Series Data Set Time Series Analysis In-Sample Model Fitting Out of Sample Forecasting A time series is a set of data points which are recorded at uniform time intervals. In this research, our time series data set consists of monthly asphalt cement price index in the state of Georgia from Sep 1995 to June 2012 GDOT determines the index based on the average of prices from around 20 different suppliers after removing the minimum and maximum prices.

Conclusion Accurate forecasting of asphalt cement price index is possible by Time Series models Accurate forecasting of material price can help: Contractors to submit more accurate and competitive bids State DOTs to consider more accurate budget Contractors and State DOTs to measure their risks and develop appropriate risk management strategies State DOTs to examine financial implications of offering Price Adjustment Clause (PAC) for asphalt cement

Limitations and Future Works Limitations: 1- Not appropriate for long term forecasting 2- Unable to perform well when a discrete jump occurs Measuring the value of Price Adjustment Clause (PAC) Develop procedure to determine risk contingencies Multivariate time series forecasting models
