Each SCAPA contractor member, SCDOT district and SC local government office is allowed to submit a maximum of 3 projects for consideration.
- The nominees in the SCDOT Projects Category will be judged based on a scale of 70% technical and 30% overall appearance of the finished project.
- Those projects nominated in the Quality Pavement Category (non-SCDOT projects) will be scored on a scale of 50% narrative/technical and 50% overall appearance of the finished project.
There will be a panel of judges from organizations such as APWA, ACEC, SCDOT, FHWA or state educational institutions that will rate all nominated projects. The panel will narrow the entries down to the top-rated projects with the best technical score and then conduct a visual evaluation of those projects. Of the projects selected for a visual evaluation, the judges will then select the winning projects to be awarded a SCAPA Quality Pavement Award based on both the technical score and the aesthetics & overall appearance of the project. The winners will be announced at the 2022 SCAPA Virtual Winter Conference on February 10, 2022.
