57 C h a p t e r 8 Conclusions Research Framework Two critical factors that contribute to inefficiencies in the transportation project development process are the lack of accurate, complete information about utility facilities that might conflict with the project and the resolution and overall management of those conflicts. Potential utility conflicts at transportation projects include the following: • Interference between utility facilities and transportation design features (existing or proposed)

59 and could result in confusion during implementation, largely because state DOTs manage a variety of cost estimates in connection with utility relocations. This realization made it necessary to remove the cost estimate item from the UCM and, instead, develop a separate sheet to track and analyze cost estimates for all resolution alternatives that may be associated with individual utility conflicts.
