Construction

Overview

The Construction and Civil Rights Division has responsibility for the administration of contracts during the construction phase. In accordance with established Department procedures, the contract becomes the responsibility of the Division at the time it is advertised. The Division’s responsibility ceases when the Department has accepted the project and final payment has been issued to the Contractor.

The Civil Rights Division administers the civil rights program as required by FHWA regulations in Title VI, On-the-Job Training (OJT), contract compliance, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) programs.

This division has locations at the Complex and in each of the regions. The Construction Central office coordinates and directs:

• Construction engineering activities

• Revises and maintains construction policies and procedures, specifications and standard drawings

• Develops manuals of instruction and oversees training programs

Oversight of construction of all projects is done at a region level. There are a number of crews at each of the four regions that supervise the construction on projects - they are the boots on the ground.
