operator for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The request for proposals and1subsequent competitive procurement must incorporate elements that2prioritize the overall goal of lowering costs per transaction for the3facility, such as incentives for innovative approaches which result4in lower transactional costs, requests for efficiencies on the part5of the bidder that lower operational costs, and incorporation of6technologies such as self-serve credit card machines or other point-7of-payment technologies that lower costs or improve operational8efficiencies.9

Moreover, the36policy of using steel posts requires the state to use imported steel.37Given these findings, where practicable, and until June 30, 2019, the38department shall include the design option to use wood guardrail39posts, in addition to steel posts, in new guardrail installations.40
