The Oklahoma Department of Transportation is pleased to provide the 2018-2025 Construction

Work Plan which contains critically needed transportation improvement projects for our Interstates,

US and State highways. These projects are identified through a process of coordination and

consideration of needs and resources, validated and updated annually, led by the eight field division

engineers and approved by the Transportation Commission.

The 2018-2025 Construction Work Plan, the fifteenth volume, reflects the Department's plan to meet

existing and future transportation needs, but only as state funding limitations have allowed. This

year's plan was impacted by the continued reduction in state funding, $153 million this year alone.

Cumulatively, since 2010, $838 million dollars of state transportation funding has been reallocated to

other state priorities.

Unprecedented steps are required to manage the continuing reduction in state resources. As a

result, 42% of the projects in the 2017-2024 plan were delayed one or more years. Many projects

required a change in scope to stretch limited resources. Additionally, delays in these needed

projects results in increased supplemental routine maintenance costs of $284 million over the life of

the 8 Year Plan (an increase of $102 Million from the previous plan), in order for ODOT to keep our

highway facilities safe, operational and in good repair until needed improvements can be made.

Ultimately, costs to the State of Oklahoma increase over time both from the increased maintenance

from deferred construction, as well as additional increases in construction costs, which are up 67%

nationally since 2003.

Regardless of these challenges, ODOT continues toward the Governor's goal of reducing the

number of structurally deficient bridges on the state highway system to <1% by 2020 and all known

structurally deficient bridges are in this 8 Year Plan. Oklahoma was proud to be recognized by

ARBTA as # 1 in the country in reducing the most structurally deficient bridges, down 2,458 since

2007. However, the state's large inventory of older bridges, currently 905 bridges are 80 years and

older, continues to age and is an ongoing challenge. ODOT's long range plan estimated it would

take continuing investment to manage these aging bridges, recommending 90 bridges per year be

addressed. Due to the existing state budget environment, along with the myriad of other priority

needs, ODOT could only add 15 new bridges to the 2018-2025 Construction Work Plan, falling well

short of the needed investment.

ODOT is more and more reliant on federal funding in transportation, provided by the FAST Act, our

nation's federal transportation funding legislation. While discussions at the federal level indicate

infrastructure spending of $1 Trillion may be forthcoming, 80% of this funding is anticipated to be

from private and non-federal sources, which will be difficult in the challenging state funding situation

ODOT finds itself. With the current climate in Washington D.C., it's becoming less likely to see

significant increases in federal transportation dollars.

We at ODOT, along with our many industry partners, will continue to strive to meet our goals for a

safe transportation network. While the challenges are many, we are dedicated to serving the people,

commerce, and community of Oklahoma with this 2018-2025 Construction Work Plan.

Budgetary Projections

CONSTRUCTION WORK PLAN - FFY 2018 through FFY 2025 The budgetary projections utilized for the basis of the fiscally responsible and financially balanced Construction Work Plan were established through a systematic evaluation of the Department’s anticipated State-Aid and Federal-Aid revenues and expenditures. Projections were performed for Federal Fiscal Years 2018 – 2025 with the Federal Fiscal Year defined as beginning October 1

st and ending on September 30

th. The budgetary projections only

address funding that has been historically and/or categorically committed to State, Federal and Interstate highway system improvements and does not address Department initiated set asides or other mandated programs. For the purposes of the initial projections, an estimated baseline State-Aid amount of $300.20 million and an estimated Federal-Aid amount of $344.65 million was utilized as the Fiscal Year 2018 benchmark. The Federal-Aid amount includes a 7.5% projection overstatement to avoid any potential loss of future Federal-Aid funds due to under programming. Of particular note, the annual baseline State-Aid amount available for Construction Work Plan projects is expected to grow to over $418.74 million during the next eight years. As the Federal-Aid benchmark amount will vary based upon the results of the annual Congressional budgeting process, the estimated projections will require further adjustment and we will adapt our Construction Work Plan accordingly. Once the Statewide projections are recorded by Fiscal Year, the following formula is applied to establish a baseline Fiscal Year projection for each Field Division:

% of Population + % of Mainline Highway System Miles + % of Previous 15 Year Const. Program 3

This formula considers common demographic, physical and historical criteria and yields a Divisional percentage that renders an equitable distribution of the available funds.

CORRIDOR PLAN PROJECTS The budgetary projections for Federal Fiscal Years 2018 - 2025 are adjusted accordingly to reflect the debt service requirements of the Corridor Plan projects. The individual project estimates exemplified in the Construction Work Plan constitute approximately 100% of the Federal Fiscal Years 2018 - 2025 anticipated available State and Federal formula funds including the 7.5% overstatement of Federal-Aid and any previously designated Interstate Maintenance funds and excludes the Corridor Plan debt service.

Balancing Process

The balancing of the Construction Work Plan progressed in accordance with the roles and responsibilities generally defined in the following outline:

Field Division Engineers The development of Construction Work Plan begins with our Field Division Engineers and is guided by their knowledge of the transportation needs and priorities in their respective Divisions. They and their staff work to maintain an understanding of the condition of the roads and bridges in their areas of responsibility. In addition, other key Department Divisions collect and analyze transportation data factoring the following general characteristics as applicable and listed in no particular order:

surface condition

bridge condition

geometrics (vertical and horizontal alignment)

average annual daily traffic (AADT)

percentage of truck traffic

accident history

local, regional and national traffic patterns

capacity The understanding gained from this information is then coupled with the careful consideration of the Field Division’s condition and capacity assessments of the highway network and the associated critical needs, their anticipated improvement budgets, and further communication with the Division’s Transportation Commissioner. The Field Division Engineers then review and validate the scheduled Construction Work Plan projects and formulate a group of new projects to be added in accordance with the projected funding availability.

Strategic Asset & Performance Management Division and Programs Division The Strategic Asset & Performance Management Division and Programs Division are responsible for coordinating the State’s transportation planning efforts with those of Oklahoma’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and consulting with the tribal governments and local officials with responsibilities for transportation. The development of the Long Range Plan, the maintenance of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan as derived from the first four years of the ODOT Eight Year Construction Work Plan, Corridor Studies, as well as early project development all include opportunities for public participation and review. The results of this public involvement, input from ongoing coordination and consultation, and the planning documents are provided to the Field Division Engineers for their consideration as the Work Plan is developed.

Project Management Division The Project Management Division works directly with and assists the Field Division Engineers in the development of their respective Division’s Construction Work Plan and in

the subsequent daily management of the project development activities. Projects proposed by the Field Division Engineers that did not previously exist in the Construction Work Plan are validated to the extent possible in order to institute a preliminary scope, schedule and budget. Concurrently and to the extent possible, the scope, schedule and budget of projects that previously existed in the Construction Work Plan are re-validated. The Project Management Division then continues to facilitate necessary modifications to the scope, schedule and/or budgets of approved Construction Work Plan projects as more detailed information becomes available during the course of Project Development. Validation of projects is accomplished through drive outs and/or other project team meetings with the complete participation of appropriate Engineering and Operations Divisions as deemed necessary. The responsible Project Manager schedules, coordinates, documents and facilitates these meetings.

Director, Deputy Director and the Chief Engineer

The Director, Deputy Director and the Chief Engineer, in concert with the Director of Engineering, Director of Operations, Director of Capital Programs, the Programs Division, the Project Management Division and the Field Division Engineers work to fiscally constrain and balance the Construction Work Plan in accordance with the allocation requirements of the applicable Federal funding categories. The Work Plan balancing is performed with foremost consideration for maintaining the integrity of the Field Division Engineer’s and the Transportation Commissioner’s project priorities. In addition, the balancing process seeks to insure that each Field Division is allocated available funding in accordance with the aggregate State and Federal budget projections.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS Given the number of extreme variables and the inherent need to maintain a balance between available funds and the Divisional funding commitments, the final Divisional projections are adjusted within a given year. Any adjustments are initiated with consideration for the on-going debt service requirements of the previous Corridor Plan projects, the ability to schedule and prepare projects for construction in the appropriate Federal-Aid funding categories and the ability to sustain a reasonable annual Construction Work Plan in each Division. The Construction Work Plan is balanced within these guidelines and has been determined to be an equitable representation to the satisfaction of the Department and the Transportation Commission. The Interstate Maintenance Earmarking commitment is evident in year 2018 as was determined necessary to encourage the substantial replacement, repair and preservation of the Interstate System. The IM Earmark commitment corresponds with the Divisional budgetary dedication by fiscal year, but has been discontinued beginning in 2019. The Programs Division and the Project Management Division will work in concert with the Field and Central Office Divisions to continue the monitoring and management of the Construction Work Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Construction Work Plan Management Process.
