Why This Is Important

Completing highway infrastructure projects on time for Idaho's state highway system is an important aspect of credibility and customer service for ITD.  Project activities include the planning, designing, environmental documentation, permitting, and securement of right-of-way to make projects bid ready.  Stakeholders depend on the department to deliver projects in the year they are scheduled in the Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP).

Projects for which designs are completed on time cost less and provide ITD and the construction industry adequate lead times.  This allows flexibility to plan and schedule resources for the construction phases of the projects.

How We Measure It

The measure monitors the dates when highway infrastructure projects are determined to be ready to bid.  Infrastructure projects include highway paving, guardrails, traffic signals, signs, bridge repair, and more. ITD measures the percent of projects ready to bid at the beginning of the respective federal fiscal year. 

What We're Doing About It

ITD holds managers accountable for delivering the state infrastructure projects on time.  The Highway Leadership Team reviews the delivery status of the next year’s projects monthly and provides assistance and commits additional resources as needed. Each infrastructure project in the Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP) is assigned a Project Manager who is responsible for coordinating the work on the project and setting and keeping the project schedule while maintaining the project scope and budget. Each project has a completed charter before entering the ITIP which includes an approved scope, schedule and budget. A Program Management Office (PMO) has been created to provide training and assistance in project delivery including scheduling and estimating. Also, each district and the bridge section have a PMO Liaison assigned to assist the project managers and project owners deliver the programmed projects on or ahead of the scheduled time.

Note

This measure includes only infrastructure projects on the State Highway System and the design completion target dates have been set to ensure construction starts on time.
