• Abstract:
  Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) project managers (PMs) have identified inefficiencies in the legacy ; system electronic Program Management (ePM) used to manage consultant contracts and invoices. To help UDOT ; prepare for potential system improvements, this research examines other agencies’ use of similar systems and ; gathers information about a limited set of other project management practices employed by state departments of ; transportation (DOTs). ; The major tasks of this research included a two-part survey of state DOTs to gather information about the automated ; systems used to manage consultant contracts and invoices, and about selected project management practices. A ; second survey of selected state and federal agency contacts focused solely on automated systems for contract and ; invoice management. A literature search supplemented survey findings. ; Responding agencies have found success with a range of commercial and in-house tools and practices to manage ; contracts and process invoices, and they are generally satisfied with their processes and systems. The survey ; identified few common project management practices, but did gather details about agencies’ current practices for ; assigning responsibilities to PMs, design managers and resident engineers during the design and construction phases ; of a project; using design project schedules; estimating cash flow; and training PMs.
