... 50 C h a p t e r 7 Introduction This chapter contains implementation guidelines that describe strategies and an implementation plan to promote application of the research products. The implementation guidelines address the following topics: • Research products; • Audience or market for the products; • Assessment of impediments to successful implementation; • Research product leaders (or champions)

... 54 • Identify measurable implementation targets and funding mechanisms for the implementation of the UCM and related processes at one or more state DOTs. • Monitor the progress of the UCM implementation.

... 55 This activity is continuous, but for implementation monitoring purposes, it is assumed to occur within 24 months after starting the implementation. 44 For Prototype 2, implementation could take place at the administrative unit level that deals with utility conflicts on a daily basis (e.g., district level)

... 56 • Degree of acceptance by state DOTs of the UCM process; • Number of states that have developed utility management systems that include UCM concepts; • Demand for and degree of acceptance of the training materials; • Number of states that have conducted UCM training courses; • Number of state DOT officials, by function category (e.g., utility coordination, preliminary design, design) , who have attended a UCM training course; • Reduction in the number of, and dollar amount associated with, unnecessary utility relocations; • Reduction in the number of, and dollar amount associated with, utility-related change orders or claims; and • Number of states that use UCMs to produce utility certifications within their PS&E assemblies.
