... • Very few states have any system in place to track the efficacy of their CR program. States with formal CR policies track whether a CR was conducted or not and some states track the total number of CRs performed, but there is little information being collected regarding the implementation of CR comments, reduction in change orders, or cost and time savings resulting from the CRs.

... – Construction Phasing – Biddability – Technical Complexity • The following key project documents for conducting a CR were indicated in order of priority: – Plans – Estimates/Bid Items – Specifications – Construction Contracting Language • When conducting CRs, responding transportation agencies indicated it is common to use a combination of both hard copy and electronic documents, inclusive of the key project documents identified above. • Of the responding transportation agencies with a CR process, the following applied: – Approximately 47% indicated they use a specific documented comment capture and resolution method.

... These shall be organized in such a way that they can be readily applied at various points in the project delivery process to raise relevant CR issues and identify related risks in a timely and effective manner. • Provide guidance to DOTs on how to leverage Risk Response Planning and VE techniques to identify and develop solutions to mitigate or avoid constructability risks.
