Synthesis of Highway Practice 331
State Highway Letting Program Management

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 331: Statewide Highway Letting Program Management summarizes available information on statewide highway letting programs, which are defined as a set of highway projects in advanced stages of design that have a target date for construction bid. This synthesis identifies those approaches, tools, and techniques used by state highway agencies (SHAs) in the management of letting programs; evaluates changes that influence letting schedules; identifies the impact of issues relevant to contract award that may influence the outcomes of specific lettings; and assesses SHA interest in data sharing initiatives relative to letting program management.  This topis is published at https://www.trb.org/news/blurb_detail.asp?id=4200
