The Capital Project Delivery (CPD) web site guidance establishes a consistent framework for the delivery of NJDOT capital projects. Since each capital project contains unique elements (location, geometry, scope, etc.) the CPD Project Customization Guideline (pdf 395k) provides information on how to customize this framework to use on individual projects, including Limited Scope Projects.

Please note that Transportation Systems Management (TSM) has developed a Project Delivery Process tailored to their specific needs using the Capital Program Management (CPM) CPD as the foundation but with some modifications. Therefore, designers of all TSM led projects must follow the TSM Limited Scope Project Delivery Process.

Following procedures and having access to supporting documents allows for improved communication between all stakeholders and ensures NJDOT's primary and secondary, internal and external agencies have the tools and information they need to guide them toward the right business outcome.

• Internal -- NJDOT Capital Program Management, Capital Investment, Planning and Grant Administration; and
• External -- Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), nation-wide state departments of transportation, transportation organizations and the consultant community.

CPD Oversight

The FHWA and the NJDOT have executed a Stewardship and Oversight Agreement on Project Assumption and Program Oversight (pdf 289k) which sets forth the general framework for accomplishing the stewardship and oversight responsibilities of a Federal-aid Highway program. This 2024 Stewardship and Oversight Agreement supersedes the 2015 Stewardship and Oversight Agreement

Part of the stewardship effort includes FHWA project-level oversight. The FHWA utilizes the “Risk-based Project Involvement Identification process” (pdf 175k) to assist in the identification, determination and oversight of projects. A list of these projects with their corresponding oversight plans may be found on Project-Level Risk-Based Stewardship and Oversight webpage.
