Purpose and ScopeMay 17th, 2024
FiledMay 17th, 2024The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are entering into this programmatic work plan agreement to approve the use of Fixed Price Variable Scope Contracting (FPVS) on preventive maintenance and traffic control device installation types of work when deemed appropriate and beneficial. MoDOT has completed a 3-year pilot program under a 2021 Programmatic Work Plan and has provided annual updates as required. With the sunset of this Work Plan, MoDOT desires to enter into a new 3-year Programmatic Work Plan. Currently, each individual project requires a written work plan and formal approval prior to utilizing the FPVS process. With this agreement, MoDOT and FHWA agree to programmatically approve the use of FPVS, a form of “alternative contracting” identified under the FHWA’s SEP-14 program, without requiring a specific work plan and approval for each individual project.
