  1. FRA-70-3.41 VE Workshop

  2. Why are we here? • What is the process? • What is the timeframe? • What to expect? • What is the end result? • Will we get out early? Introductions & Set-up

  3. Why are we here? • Federal law requires a VE analysis on projects meeting a $50 million dollar threshold, or stand alone bridge projects greater than $40 million. • Benefits – return of 100:1 on VE workshops Introductions & Set-up

  4. What’s the Process? • Identify projects meeting thresholds • Hold VE workshop at optimum time in development • Create report based on VE workshop • Hold Implementation Board meeting • Incorporate results into project Introductions & Set-up

  5. What’s the timeframe? • Hold workshop • Draft report following VE workshop – 2 weeks • Final report including comments from VE team – 2 weeks • Implementation board meeting – 45 days • Add to plans Introductions & Set-up

  6. What to expect? • Information Phase • Function Analysis • Creative Phase • Evaluation Phase • Development Phase • Report Out Introductions & Set-up

  7. Project Briefing • Project background • Review existing project documentation • Review cost estimate • Design constraints • Project challenges • Project timeline – design and construction • Current project status Information Phase

  8. What is the Purpose and Need? • What is the core function? • Key design elements? Function Analysis

  9. Noun – Verb Association • Assign functions of major project components • Cost Model – 80% of cost in 20% of items Function Analysis

  10. All ideas are good, until the evaluation phase • Adding value can be: • Saving money • Improving safety • Speeding construction • Making construction easier • Using better materials • Improving operations • Simplifying maintenance • Reducing environmental impacts • Reducing right-of way impacts. Creative Phase

  11. What’s off limits? • Pavement type. • Can we close Interstate 70? • ? Creative Phase

  12. Common VECP Ideas • Subgrade stabilization • Sheeting / Retaining wall design • Steel beams vs. concrete • Revise profile to balance earthwork • Lime stabilization to geotextile • Use MSE walls • Use precast floor beams • New storm water layout • Cutting existing bridge deck into smaller single span beams • Revised bridge design from multiple span to single span on MSE walls Creative Phase

  13. Rate generated ideas to select those that will be further developed. Evaluation Phase

  14. Time to work • Develop selected ideas to determine feasibility, prepare cost estimates and compare to original design • Cost estimate Development Phase

  15. Development Phase

  16. Development Phase

  17. Development Phase

  18. Development Phase

  19. The End!
