The Oregon Partnership for Highway Quality selected constructability reviews as a technique with the potential for significant quality improvement potential. As a result, a committee of representatives from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Associated General Contractors Oregon-Columbia Chapter (AGC) developed procedures for the constructability reviews, both early in the design stage and at project completion. By utilizing construction personnel with extensive construction experience early in the design stage of ODOT projects, a wide range of benefits are expected. Buildable, cost-effective, biddable and maintainable projects should be ensured by these procedures. Also, a review held when a project is complete should facilitate communication and lead to improved plans and specifications on future projects.  

 

External Constructability Reviews

All contractors are invited to participate in the external review program. When the ODOT Project Team decides that a review is needed for a specific project, the project leader will select two contractors from the list of participants. After the two contractors are confirmed and the review scheduled, details regarding the review will be posted on the ODOT Construction Contracts Unit’s website, ODOT Procurement Office Construction - (Highway & Bridge Contracts). Any contractor can attend and participate in the review, if they choose to do so. Contractor personnel will not be reimbursed for their services.

ODOT is committed to making the external review program fair to all pre-qualified contractors. After the program is underway for a period of time, it is anticipated that each contractor will be selected and participate at approximately the same level. No contractor will be excluded from participation in either the overall program or project reviews.
