Develop all projects in the current fiscal
year program as of October 1 ready for
bid by the following September 30.

Completing the development of highway projects on time is an important aspect of credibility and customer service for ITD. Development includes the planning, designing, environmental documenting, permitting, and securing of right-of-way to make projects bid ready. Stakeholders depend on the department to deliver projects to construction in the year they were intended. Projects for which development is 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.

The measure is determined by monitoring the dates projects are scheduled to be completed (ready for bid) and determining if the projects are completed by that date.

ITD is more consistently holding managers accountable for delivering projects on time. A project-scheduling system is being piloted and project-management training is being provided.
