  1. New York State Association of Transportation Engineers Technical Seminar Section 1 & Section 11 November 14, 2012 Albany, NY NYS Department of Transportation & Federal Highway Administration Every Day Counts Initiative Daniel D’Angelo, P.E., PMP NYSDOT Every Day Counts Lead Coordinator

  2. Learning Objectives • What is EDC and what are the Initiatives? • Round 2 Initiatives! • What is the STIC and what are the Exchanges?

  3. Learning Objective No. 1 What is EDC and what are the Initiatives?

  4. Every Day Counts Initiative EDC is designed to identify and deploy innovation aimed at shortening project delivery, enhancing the safety of our roadways, and protecting the environment.

  5. Every Day Counts Initiatives Round 1 - 15 initiatives Round 2 – 13 initiatives

  6. Implemented Implementing Investigating

  7. Prefabricated Bridge Elements (PBES) Benefits: Time Savings Cost Savings Safety Advantages Increased Constructability Reduced Environmental Impact www.fhwa.gov/everydaycounts

  8. Implemented Implementing Investigating

  9. Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) Allows an owner to engage a construction manager during the design process to provide constructability input. Increases Control of Scope, Schedule, Price, and Risk.

  10. Implemented Implementing Investigating

  11. Flexibility in Right-of-Way From a NYSDOT perspective, of the six ROW flexibilities included in this initiative (thanks to Bruce Davies, NYSDOT ROW EDC point of contact): a) Appraisal waiver valuations. The Department is currently reviewing the matter.  Currently, NYSDOT acquires by appropriation and therefore it appears a change in Eminent Domain Procedure Law would be necessary. b) Conflict of interest waivers. For any compensation in excess of $10,000 or more the negotiator cannot be the appraiser.   NYSDOT has separate appraisal and acquisition units. c) Conditional ROW certification. These are projections which NYSDOT does allow, however it must be either be an emergency or outside the control of the acquiring agency.

  12. Flexibility in Right-of-Way d) Right-of-entry for federal land transfers. These are used by NYSDOT or Locals when the federal process is excessively long but will eventually be completed.  If the Federal government does not intend on completing the transfer alternative designs must be considered.  e) Incentive payments. NYSDOT does not participate in any incentive programs at this time.  However if the FHWA were to offer a pilot program NYSDOT could participate. f) Functional replacement of real property. NYSDOT, where appropriate utilizes function replacements for on system projects
