  1. Design deliverable enhancement project (ddep) - update

  2. In 2006, the MDOT / ACEC Design Technology Committee was formed. • To-date, several DTC Forums have been held throughout Michigan. • Nearly 150 MDOT and Consultant designers attended each Forum. • eProposal, PDF deliverables, GEOPAK, MicroStation and other technology related issues. • In early 2007, the DTC presented MDOT / ACEC leadership with the DDEP concept. DDEP background

  3. DDEP Participants: • Sponsors: • Mark Van Port Fleet, MDOT - Director of Highway Development • Brenda O’Brien, MDOT - Engineer of Construction and Technology Division • Tony Kratofil, MDOT Metro Region Engineer • Team Leaders: • Dan Belcher, MDOT - Engineering Support Services • Robert Rayl, RS Engineering, LLC DDEP background

  4. DDEP Core / Tech Team: DDEP background • MDOT • Brian Dollman-Jersey, Survey • Dave Geyer,Design • Harold Hovey, Design • Joel Ingle, Design • Tom Vandenberg, Design • Chuck Occhiuto, Bridge Design • Brad Wieferich, Engineer of Design • Rachelle VanDeventer, Lansing TSC • Mike Irwin, Jackson TSC Const. • Channing Page, Lansing TSC Const. • ACEC - Consultants • Brad Lund, Wilcox • Nate Buning, URS Corp • Aaron Wekenman, Alfred Benesch • Tom Seresoroz, RS Engineering • Doug Parmerlee, URS Corp • Tony Migaldi, HNTB • Jeff Bartlett, SSI • MITA - Contractors • Doug Needham, MITA • Jim Doescher, Dan’s Excavating • Mike Malloure, C.A. Hull

  5. DDEP Goal: • Use current technology to………. • Produce deliverables to construction that will improve efficiency as well as reduce extras and overruns. • Improve the efficiency of developing design deliverables while reducing errors and omissions. DDEP background

  6. Conduct Focus Groups (12/07 – 2/08) • MDOT / Consultant Designers • MDOT / Consultant Construction • MDOT Experts • MITA Contractors • Compile / Categorize 500+ Comments (2/08) Ddep process

  7. General Comments Received: • Plans(97) – Reduce redundancy, reduce clutter, clearly show details, show information once and correctly, maximize consistency, enhance necessary details, reduce number of typical cross sections, and provide design cross sections. • Technology(71) – Use current technology as much as possible and streamline the flow of data from survey through design to construction. • Quantities(63) – Minimize number of calculations, reduce errors, minimize manual handling of data. • Communication(50) – Improve access to information throughout development and delivery process. Ddep process

  8. Standards(47) – Use checklists, do not include special details in plans, minimize frequency of changes, and use standard specs as much as possible. • Field Operations (21) – Do not skimp on survey and geotechnical scopes of services. • MOT / Staging (18) – Improve the detail / consistency / constructability of MOT plans and provisions. • Bids / Ads / Let (13) – Provide as much information as possible at the time of bidding and do not include “boilerplate” information in each set of plans. • Utilities (13) - Accurately locate utilities, properly identify impacts, clear before construction, use the Miss Dig Design Ticket. • As-Builts (12) – MDOT / designers need them but contractors are not properly capable to produce them. Ddep process

  9. Technical Team Meetings to Develop Potential Enhancements (3/08 – 9/08) Presentation to Core Team and Sponsors (10/08) Acceptance of Proposed Enhancements (Pt 1) (10/08) Technical Team Meetings (Ongoing) Presentations to Stakeholders (10/08 – 9/09) Ddep process

  10. Proposed DDEP Enhancementspart 1

  11. The following enhancements……… are not a final version. are subject to change. need input from stakeholders. need to be tested in the “real world” (Pilot Project). will be adjusted as needed based on input and testing. will be finalized and presented in the future with more in-depth supporting information. Proposed enhancements:(Current status)

  12. Eliminate boilerplate information in plans and proposals. Include this information for each letting instead of for each project. • Provide as much digital information as possible at the time of bidding. • Design cross sections • Quantity spreadsheets • Drawing files • 3D digital terrain models • Other Proposed Enhancements:(general PROJECT)

  13. New sheet borders to be used for all sheets. Number sheets in PDF file. Formally integrate the use of MS Word and Excel in the development of plan information in PDF format. Clarify information as much as possible. Proposed Enhancements:(general plan sheets)

  14. Sheet includes: • Sheet index • Utility contacts • List of all standard plans and special details • Sheet is now developed using MS Word with the sheet border as a watermark. Proposed Enhancements:(project information sheet)

  15. Sample Project Information Sheet

  16. Reduce the number of typical cross sections. Provide design cross sections as a deliverable at each phase of a project for applicable projects. Proposed Enhancements:(typical cross sections)

  17. Sample Design Cross Section

  18. MDOT will maintain a master note sheet in MS Word. Designers will retrieve the master note sheet and delete notes that do not apply. Project specific notes will be added to the end of the document. Proposed Enhancements:(note sheets)

  19. Sample Note Sheet

  20. Develop and maintain MS Excel Spreadsheets (Master and Working Files) that include all necessary layout, item and quantity information for the project. • Once the data has been reviewed…… • Copy layout information to certain plan sheets. • Create quantity sheets. • Export *.csv file for SAPW / TrnsPort. • The goal is to create and review a master set of data then copy it to different locations. This will reduce errors due to manual manipulation. Proposed Enhancements:(quantities – General concept)

  21. Detail Level Quantities Project Level Quantities Dwy / Appr Paving Project Items Quantities for each pay item are summarized by JN & Cat No. Drainage Guardrail Misc. Items PavtMrkg Traffic Signal Maintaining Traffic Municipal Utility Electrical Signing Bridge Items Project Quantities Detailed layout charts copied to sheets (for info only) Plan Sheets (Microstation) Estimate (SAPW/TrnsPort) Pay Item / Quantity summary copied to Quantity Sheet Pay item / quantity data (*.csv) uploaded by JN & Cat No.

  22. Develop working files for each discipline or work group. • Road (prime), Road (sub), Bridge (S01), Bridge (S02), Traffic Signals, Electrical, Landscaping, etc. • Each working file has a common format (tabs). • Input – Item and quantity listing broken down by Job No., Category No., Facility, DGN No., and Element ID. This information is either entered manually or automatically from GEOPAK. • Layout – Design variables, item usage and quantities required to construct certain elements. This information is either entered manually or automatically from GEOPAK. • Validation – Perform calculations to check quantities. • Output – Export all item, quantity and break down data to Master Project Spreadsheet. Proposed Enhancements:(quantities – Working spreadsheets)

  23. Proposed Enhancements:(quantities – Working spreadsheets) Work Group C Work Group A Work Group B

  24. Develop and maintain a Master Project Spreadsheet. • Collect and append output files from all disciplines and/or work groups. • Summary tabs use pivot tables to automatically sort and summarize all information by work type, pay item, facility, DGN No., Element ID, Job No., Category No., etc. • The total project quantity tab is automatically generated using a pivot table based on pay items. • Export tabs are used to copy all data as *.csv to SAPW /TrnsPort. Proposed Enhancements:(quantities – Master spreadsheet)

  25. Proposed Enhancements:(quantities – Master spreadsheets) Project Data Quantity Sheets SAPW / TrnsPort Sum Project Sum Discipline Sum JN - Cat No. Sum Facility
