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.
