Why This Is Important

Stakeholders and the public expect ITD to deliver all highway projects to construction that are programmed each year.  This requires projects to be delivered within budget.  Projects on which costs at contract award are as close as possible to the project programmed amount allows ITD to better invest limited funding and maximize benefits.

How We Measure It

ITD totals the construction costs of projects awarded in the fiscal year and compares them to the total construction budget programmed at the beginning of the fiscal year for the same projects.  GARVEE projects are not included.

What We're Doing About It

ITD employs value engineering and practical design principles to ensure projects provide the benefits desired at the lowest practical cost.  ITD closely monitors construction bids and price trends to keep construction estimates accurate.  Collectively, these methods allow more projects to be provided at or under the programmed amount.
