56 miles, from Charlotte County Line to I-275 Final Phase of the District One I-75 FMS Design, furnish, install, integrate and test ITS field devices Provide for a redundant system between SWIFT and

Satellite Traffic Management Center (STMC)

Understanding Project Scope


Primary Responsibility of the CEI Act as extension to FDOT staff

◦ Proactively manage the work◦ Anticipate and address project issues

Coordinate all aspects of design and construction◦ Review/ analyze CPM schedules◦ Provide interpretation of contract documents

Enforce contract requirements and implement CPPR Operate in accordance with FDOT procedures (CPAM)

Unique Project Issues STMC / SWIFT / SunGuide

◦ First deployment of SunGuide in a back-up mode at STMC

◦ Testing of STMC back-up functionality without disrupting SWIFT operations

◦ TMC software is normally integrated at the end of the project which could impact the schedule.

◦ Two contractors (SWRI and DBF) preforming time critical interdependent work.

MOT◦ HARB at Erie Road overpass will require

MOT (lane closures) for installation as well as maintenance.

Unique Project Issues

Steep Slopeso DMS

North of the Braden River North of West River Road Difficult installation Lane closures during installation and

maintenance.o No pull boxes in slopes - will make

conduit transition from underground to bridge mount difficult

Conduit 8’ from Fenceo Flooding areas could impact

maintenance / reliabilityo Numerous crossing of wet ditches

Innovative Concepts

Use of FDOT ERC system for all submittals Expansion of the RTVM (Traceability Matrix)o Include additional project requirements such as NECo Expand verification method (Factory, Stand-alone, Subsystem)o Develop comprehensive field check lists using the RTVM

Verification of as-built and ITSFM tool sheets with sub-foot accuracy equipment
