Project Assessments

Project Assessments (PAs) are written documents which conceptually describe the Transportation Enhancement (TE) project. The PA serves as a framework when the TE project enters final design. Please note that TE funds cannot be used to pay for this activity.

The PA must include the elements in the following table.

	Project Assessment Elements
A	Title page
B	Introduction
C	Background data
D	Project scope (must detail each component of the project)
E	Project development considerations: • Environmental requirements • Construction contracting method • Geotechnical and drainage requirements • Critical outside-agency involvement • Right-of-way requirements • Utility relocation requirements • Seasonal considerations • Traffic requirements • Design criteria • Compliance with Americans with Disabilities (ADA) standards • Compliance with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards
F	Other requirements
G	Estimated cost
H	Itemized estimate
I	Vicinity map
J	Typical sections
K	Project schedule
L	Stage I (15%) plans

Additional guidance is available in the Project Assessment Format for TE Projects document and the Sample Initial Project Assessment.

Documents are posted as they become available in PDF format, which requires Adobe Reader to view.
