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.
