The Engineering area contains most of the reference material needed to design and construct a Capital Program project. Included are topics about Policy, Procedures, Specifications and Design Standards (Manuals, Guidelines, and Computer Aided Design and Drafting drawings). Also included are documents used in Construction and Operations.

Engineering is constantly changing. New documents or supplements are announced through Design Document Change Announcements. There is also an area for Superseded Notices, Documents and Manuals. Changes are suggested through the respective Subject Matter Expert to Design Document Management (under Capital Program Management) for review and publication.

Information on project advertisement dates, contractor bidding requirements, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements and other similar subjects may be found in Doing Business or Procurement. This information relates to the timeframe prior to or during the construction of a transportation facility.

Engineering information on Traffic Counts, Roadway Data, Traffic Regulations, existing transportation facilities and other similar subjects may be found in Reference Data.
