• Abstract:
  ODOT, together with FHWA, selected six states that either had similar sized programs or were known to have adopted innovative practices. After meticulously dissecting ODOT’s own organization and practices, a comprehensive questionnaire was developed around seventeen aspects of construction contract administration. Administrators in the six selected states were then asked to provide written responses to the questionnaires. After the research team analyzed these responses, the team spent two-and-one-half days in each state interviewing DOT personnel to more fully understand the way they did business. The interviews were carefully designed to elicit all relevant perspectives. In addition to central office personnel, the team interviewed district and project personnel, visited representative project sites, and interviewed representatives of contractors and suppliers in each state. The result of this process is set forth in the Findings section of this report.
