• Abstract:
  The Iowa DOT applied and was selected to receive User Incentive ; funding from the U.S. DOT Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ; for the SHRP 2 R10 Implementation Assistance Program. Through the ; program, the Iowa DOT plans to utilize the results from the SHRP 2 R10 ; project on the reconstruction of Segment 4 of the Council Bluffs ; Interstate System (CBIS), which is a major effort focused on improving ; the Interstate system in the Council Bluffs, Iowa metropolitan area. ; In May 2016, the Iowa DOT hosted a peer exchange ; with agencies that have implemented or are actively ; implementing R10 outcomes as well as other agencies that ; are reviewing their project management policies. As part ; of the assistance for the User Incentive funding, the Iowa ; DOT is interested in developing a statewide policy for ; managing projects based on the outline of R10 as well as ; the lessons learned from implementing R10 on the CBIS ; project. ; The work on this part of the project management ; implementation assistance supported drafting project ; management guidance for the Iowa DOT, and a technical ; advisory committee (TAC) was assembled to accomplish ; this effort. The TAC consisted of a group of Iowa DOT ; personnel familiar with the R10 project management ; concept, the Iowa DOT Project Development Process ; Manual, and the Iowa DOT project development process. ; TAC members represented as much as possible the various ; offices and levels involved in project development at the ; Iowa DOT—from planning through maintenance and ; operation. This spectrum represented the participants ; typically requested to participate in project meetings using ; the five-dimensional project management (5DPM) process ; developed as part of the R10 project. ; Once the TAC was identified, the group met frequently ; for targeted, facilitated sessions, which were documented, ; during the next several weeks. ; The TAC took into consideration the current status of ; project management with the Iowa DOT, their experience ; during the demonstration workshop held in Iowa as part ; of the implementation assistance in the spring of 2015, ; the project management peer exchange hosted by the Iowa ; DOT in May 2016, and additional examples of project ; management that were presented at the peer exchange. ; Author information: Jennifer S.
