1. The governing body of a local government that undertakes a project pursuant to this chapter for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or repair of a public road or public highway shall adopt policies that provide for the use of recycled aggregate, recycled bituminous pavement and recycled rubber from tires in the project.

2. A local government or its authorized representative which awards a contract for a public work which includes the construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or repair of a public road or public highway shall ensure that the use of any recycled aggregate, recycled bituminous pavement or recycled rubber from tires, or any combination thereof, in the construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or repair of the public road or public highway is not restricted unless scientific evidence satisfactory to the local government clearly indicates that the use of the recycled aggregate, recycled bituminous pavement or recycled rubber from tires for that construction, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance or repair compromises the soundness of the project.
