Abstract:In March 2013, the States of Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, and Pennsylvania were selected as lead adopters of the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) product Managing Risk in Rapid Renewal Projects (R09). This report evaluates those States’ progress in disseminating R09 concepts to staff, adopting R09 concepts into State procedures, and realizing project cost and time savings. Though these States initially found the spreadsheet-based risk-management tool associated with R09 too complex and Minnesota ultimately opted out of R09 adoption, the remaining lead-adopter States succeeded in disseminating R09 to staff, adopting R09-inspired risk-management procedures, and tailoring this R09 tool and workshops to their needs. It is still too early to rigorously examine cost and time savings that result from the risk-mitigation strategies presented during the R09 workshops, but Oregon and Arizona (a SHRP2 Round-4 R09 user) presented projects that realized time and cost savings due to R09. This report provides recommendations on how to improve the adoption of risk-management procedures and lessons learned from these lead adopters and should be of especial interest to other State and local transportation departments that are interested in implementing innovative risk-management procedures.
