AWP is coming... • ODOT is upgrading the construction administration software AASHTOWare Project SiteManager legacy system to the enterprise-wide web based solution of AASHTOWare Project - Construction & Materials module • Early 2020
Intent • ODOT is implementing AASHTOWare Project web based system as a replacement of the AASHTOWare Project SiteManager construction and materials management system from the ground up statewide. To streamline processes, provide a platform to collaborate with stakeholders, utilize a unified database for all AASHTOWare modules, gain efficiency, to stay current in technological advances, integrate materials and construction management systems, allow for continual, seamless, and transparent upgrades and enhancements, provide external access to the system, collaboratively and constructively assessing business processes and making updates to meet business needs with an implementation team structure that includes expertise for each functional area with subject matter experts throughout the state
Improvements • Single Sign On (SSO) for all (internal and external) users • This will be for Construction & Materials and Civil Rights & Labor modules • Inclusion of the current TE24 Virtual Warehouse and QPL external systems to the AASHTOWare Project - Construction & Materials module • Improve experience, performance, and transparency
Improvements • Increased use of mobile applications • Mobile Inspector • Field Interviewer • Mobile Materials Sampler • Direct access for external stakeholders • FHWA • Contractors • Producers/Suppliers • Local Participating Agencies
Implementation Schedule 9/2019 – 2/2020 Training
Training - External Stakeholders • Contractors, Consultants, and Producers & Suppliers will receive training Fall 2019 • Contractors will be able to select modules that their personnel will need to be trained • Construction & Materials • Civil Rights & Labor • BOTH • We will be working with contracting community to set up locations and dates
Training • It is our intent to train our external stakeholders first and then our internal staff • There will be several opportunities to take the training(s) • We will conduct in-person training, as well as, links to videos and guides afterwards
