LESSONS LEARNED OVERVIEW

• Carter Burgess, Inc. was selected to perform
  project development services for a PDE Study in
  FDOT District Five that will attempt to implement
  the Departments new ETDM process.
• In addition, in an effort to shorten the overall
  project schedule for the entire project (PDE
  through Construction), the Department has elected
  to overlap the PDE Phase (22) with the Final
  Design Phase (32).
• This project attempts to plan, design, and
  construct a project in a short time, as well as
  implement the ETDM initiative of earlier agency
  involvement and earlier permit applications.

LESSONS LEARNED OVERVIEW

• Implementation of the Efficient Transportation
  Decision Making (ETDM)
• Overlap of PDE and Design Phases

ETDM IMPLEMENTATION

Lessons Learned
Overlap PDE and Design

Lessons Learned
CHALLENGES OF ETDM

• Negotiating unknowns such as
• Survey
• Design
• Permitting
• Negotiating by non-Designers
• Confusion as to where scope tasks were funded
  under
• PDE
• Design

Lessons Learned
BENEFITS OF ETDM

• Better clarified scope reduced man-hours
• Early survey gave us better base information
• Received commitment to wider sidewalk agreed to
  in PDE (best practice)
• Better early phase LRE

• Presentations to ETAT use of Project Diary
• ETAT Field Trip
• Eased review process (FWC)
• No delays in reviews
• Access Management Decisions (best practice)
• Median openings/closures were documented

Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Public/Agency involvement?
• Ability to discuss specific issues with more
  detail
• More meetings and coordination with WMD during
  PDE
• Advanced Pond Letters Closed deal on property
  acquisition
• It was determined that one (1) CAP meeting would
  take place after the 60 phase submittals in
  Design

10
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Schedule
• PDE Design done separately
• PDE took 23 months
• Design took 24 months
• 47 months (lt 4 years)
• PDE Design done with overlap (plan)
• Total project took 36 months (3 years)
• Alignment Survey built-into PDE Scope (12 months)

11
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Topographic Survey Complete during PDE
• More accurate information available during PDE
  (alternatives/typical)
• Time in schedule saved at beginning of design

12
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Typical Section Package
• Only did it once
• Saved staff hours
• Time in schedule
• VE Study
• Only do it once
• Saved staff hours
• Time in schedule
• Right-of-Way Issues
• Pond Letters
• Advanced Acquisition

13
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Overlap works best when project will be built
  soon
• Between traditional
• Plan Design Construction
• Design-Build processes
• Confusion as to where scope tasks were funded
• PDE
• Design

14
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Design Negotiations occurred during PDE
• We attempted to negotiate Design prior to the
  submittal of draft reports (i.e. Pond Siting) and
  prior to the Alternative Public Meeting.
• The overlap of the two phases is a valuable
  effort, but may need to be delayed until a bit
  further along in the PDE.
• A conservative estimate of the number and acreage
  of the pond sites was agreed upon and used as the
  basis for units.

15
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• Design Negotiations occurred during PDE
• More accurate determination of side street
  impacts
• Had to send surveyor back out (supplemental)
• Many items i.e. Structural design negotiated
  on a worst case scenario
• Some subs still working (under PDE Contract)
• Structures
• Bridge Development Report

16
Lessons Learned
OVERLAP

• The more information known earlier, the better.
• Advanced acquisition
• MacKenney Property
• They responded to early pond letter
• Take whole parcel, rather than two parcels, two
  owners
• Advanced acquisition pending
• Pedestrian bridge
