Abstract:The objectives of this study are to identify, assess, and validate best practices that are crucial for the successful completion of Flash Track projects. Five Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) projects and three Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) projects are used as case studies. These cases were carefully studied to validate existing Construction Industry Institute (CII) practices and to identify new practices essential for successful completion of Flash Track projects. The Flash Track tool developed by the CII was used to determine the readiness of a project team to complete a project of this nature. The research data were collected through numerous meetings, interviews, questionnaires, through various statistical analyses, and through discussions with project personnel from the studied projects. Some of the pertinent conclusions and products of this study are as follows: • The xDOT toolkit best represents the best practices crucial to the successful completion of Flash Track projects. • The seven categories of xDOT best practices: (1) Right of Way & Utilities [11.9%], (2) Pre-construction [9.6%], (3) Contractual [21.2%], (4) Planning [9.7%], (5) Information Management [9.7%], (6) Execution [21.9%], and (7) Traffic Management [15.9%]. • The top three xDOT best practices are: (1) Implementing construction driven designs, (2) Ensuring worker/public health and safety, and (3) Having a responsible in-charge engineer/design-build integrator.
