Planned quantities
Road area, lane miles, patches, striping, repairs, or other measurable units of planned work.
BreakEven+™ for Municipal Roads & Streets
Build road and street budgets from labor, production, and the work planned.
BreakEven+™ helps municipalities forecast direct labor, fringe, overhead, G&A, support labor, materials, subcontractors, and production assumptions—then carry them into FALIB® reporting.

Why roads & streets need cost visibility
A lane-mile, patch, or paving program is more than asphalt and payroll.
Municipal street work can include direct crews, equipment operators, foremen, engineering support, administration, materials, subcontractors, and departmental overhead. BreakEven+™ helps organize those layers before the program budget is finalized.
What does the municipality expect the planned road work to require?
FALIB® can connect budgeted labor hours, indirect pools, production assumptions, and project inputs so the number has a visible cost structure behind it.
From planned quantities → labor hours → cost pools → budget requirement.Build the road program from its drivers
Forecast the work before reducing it to a single budget line.
Production & labor hours
Translate production assumptions into the direct crew hours expected to perform the work.
Indirect support
Fringe, supervision, departmental overhead, G&A, and support labor behind the field crews.
Project inputs
Materials, equipment-related costs, subcontractors, ODCs, and other costs required by the program.
Illustrative roads & streets model
Connect budgeted crew hours to the annual street program.
The example below is illustrative only. It shows how a municipality could connect productive hours, labor dollars, indirect pools, and support costs before carrying them into paving, patching, striping, or maintenance budgets.

Separate direct crew hours and support resources so management can see what is driving the forecast instead of relying on one blended markup.
Budgeted Direct Labor Hours
0
Illustrative direct hours supporting the $1.42M wage forecast at the $38.40 blended direct wage.
Budgeted Support / Indirect Labor Hours
0
Illustrative support hours represented by the $244K support-labor pool using the same example blended wage assumption.
Illustrative values are not municipal benchmarks, incurred-cost results, accounting guidance, or recommended rates. Actual configuration depends on the municipality's own labor, budgets, allocation methodology, policies, production assumptions, and financial records.
Production matters
Turn quantities and production assumptions into labor hours.
A road or street budget becomes more useful when the planned quantity of work can be connected to the labor hours expected to perform it. BreakEven+™ can help translate production assumptions into direct hours while keeping the same underlying labor and indirect-cost structure.
- Estimate labor hours from planned quantities and production assumptions.
- Keep field labor, supervision, and support labor distinguishable.
- Add materials, subcontractors, and other direct project inputs.
- Review changes in production before the budget or estimate is committed.
- Use FALIB® P&P to show the production and pricing detail behind the work.
Road & street use cases
Use one cost-intelligence framework across recurring street programs and projects.
Paving programsConnect paving quantities, direct labor, materials, production, support, and subcontractors to the forecast.
Patching & repairBuild annual maintenance assumptions around crews, hours, materials, and recurring repair activity.
Striping & markingsEstimate crew hours, production rates, materials, and support for roadway markings and traffic-safety work.
Signs & traffic assetsForecast installation and maintenance labor, support, materials, and other direct inputs.
Snow & seasonal workModel labor and support assumptions for seasonal street operations and changing productive-hour requirements.
Road rehabilitationCombine internal labor, materials, subcontractors, support, and other inputs in a structured project estimate.
Larger infrastructure work
Keep internal road labor visible even when a project also uses outside contractors.
Road rehabilitation and capital work may combine municipal employees with outside contractors, materials, inspection, engineering, and other support. BreakEven+™ can keep those categories separate so the municipality can see the internal and external cost structure more clearly.
That makes FALIB® useful not only for recurring street maintenance but also for projects where direct municipal labor is only one part of the total project budget.
FALIB® Reporting
Carry the roads and streets cost model from forecast to production detail.
FALIB® connects the labor and indirect-cost foundation to project and production detail so municipalities can keep the assumptions organized as road and street planning moves forward.
