59 APPENDIX A Survey Questionnaire NCHRP SYNTHESIS 38-02 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY for PROJECT DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) is conducting a synthesis study (existing state-of-the- art information report) of successful transportation agency transfer of information technology (data) and interoperability across agency business functions and to contractors. The resulting report should provide the nation’s transportation agencies a detailed roadmap for emulation of agencies that are most successful in this endeavor. Our initial brief survey attempts to identify agencies that are successfully avoiding redundant information creation, handling, and storage, as well as those that efficiently share data with all project stakeholders. This brief initial survey should be completed by persons knowledgeable of data transfer practices specific to your various functional areas: planning, design, procurement, construction, operations, and maintenance. Therefore, we ask that you direct each of those survey portions to the appropriate personnel. The entire scope of the study can be found on the Transportation Research Board’s website at http://www.trb.org/TRBNet/ProjectDisplay.asp?ProjectID=107. The questionnaire is structured into the following five parts: Part 1—IT for Planning: Functional Area commissioned to project planning: i.e., site acquisition, surveying, environmental, traffic flow, and other pre-design requirements. Part 2—IT for Design: Functional Area commissioned to prepare project documents, drawings, and specifications. Part 3—IT for Procurement: Functional Area commissioned to project bidding and contract documents. Part 4—IT for Construction: Functional Area commissioned to project construction management, inspection, and delivery. Part 5—IT for Operations and Maintenance: Functional Area commissioned to ensure safe traffic flow in current transportation infrastructure (surface roads). The survey takes approximately 5 minutes to complete for each functional area. Multiple respondents from your organization may complete different parts of the questionnaire before all survey sections are aggregated. THE SURVEY IS DESIGNED FOR THE ABILITY TO ACCUMULATE RESPONSES FROM MULTIPLE RESPONDERS. Portions can be completed by persons in multiple locations; simply e-mail this pdf file to the appropriate person(s) in your agency. When all of the sections are completed, the results can be sent to us via e- mail by simply clicking any of the 'Submit by E-mail' buttons on the form (upper corner). PLEASE RENAME THE FILE SENT TO US WITH YOUR DOT DESIGNATION. Alternatively, you may wish to print the survey form to complete on paper and fax to us at 601-266-5717, Attn: John Hannon. Please have all portions of the questionnaire completed on or before May 18, 2007. Thank you for your assistance with this NCHRP improvement effort. If you have any questions, please contact John Hannon or TJ Lewis (graduate assistant) of The University of Southern Mississippi at 601-266-5550 or via e-mail at john.hannon@usm.edu or tarlei_lewis@yahoo.com.
