The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) uses the AASHTOWare Project Preconstruction software module to manage the advertising, bid-letting and analyses of the information submitted to Bid Express to determine the low bidder. The electronic information prepared by the bidder is input into Preconstruction to create the bid tabulation and bid-letting summary reports.

Preconstruction tracks the plan sheet holders lists and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) commitments. Preconstruction can also prepare custom reports and other additional analyses to support award decisions.

Preconstruction can import data directly from the Cost Estimation System (CES) to prepare the final estimate for construction projects. It is also be used by NJDOT estimation reviewers to prepare standard reports, proposal forms and other documents for a bid-letting package.

The electronic bid-letting package produced in Preconstruction will then be available to contractors using the AASHTOWare Project Expedite software module to prepare and submit electronic bids using Bid Express.
