About Us

The Construction Manual Committee consists of a chairperson, the Office of Construction Division Chief, and members from the Office of Construction and District offices. The Committee is responsible for maintenance and updating of the Construction Manual.

The Construction Manual, in conjunction with the Standard Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, outlines the organization, policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation relative to administration of construction contracts.

There is an update process, outlined in the Construction Manual for anyone interested in proposing a revision or addition thereto. The Chairperson and committee members welcome and will review all properly submitted suggestions.
