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.
