Construction
Construction Initiation includes all the necessary tasks to 
establish and certify the project's baseline documents (i.e., 
scope, schedule and budget), upon which prospective contractors 
are solicited, and the construction contract is executed with the 
lowest responsible bidder. The Division of Construction 
Management uses these project baseline documents to help 
manage and control the project's construction operations and 
completion.
Construction  Operations  shall  include  all  of  the  physical 
construction  work  to  be  performed  in  the  performance  of  the 
Contract within the Project Limits. Activities such as attending the 
Pre-Construction Meeting and maintaining the existing contractor 
and  construction  engineering  contracts  shall  also  be  included. 
Traffic  interference  notices  also  shall  be  prepared  to  alert  the 
public to future traffic impacts.
During  Construction  there  are  numerous  communication  tasks 
that  shall  be  performed.    These  tasks  include  communicating 
project information to internal and external project stakeholders, 
such  as  public  officials,  the  general  public,  outside  agencies, 
internal  management,  subject  matter  experts,  and  project 
consultants.  
The  completion  of  Construction  includes  the  series  of  action 
items  performed  to  obtain  final  approvals  and  achieve  project 
closeout.  The  Substantial  Completion  Inspection  and  Final 
Acceptance  Inspection  shall  be  performed  along  with  the 
preparation of the project’s As-Built Plans.
