Project and Construction Management Guidelines

This update of the document published in September 1990 and updated in June 1996, May 2003, and July 2011 reflects Federal Transit Administration (FTA) project development, grants, and project management requirements. It incorporates the experience of FTA’s Project Management Oversight Program research and technical assistance initiatives, and new or updated Circulars and legislation, including changes due to the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act. Additional guidance is provided on safety and security considerations and certification process, project risk assessment and allocation, project controls, project delivery approaches, financing, real estate acquisition, dispute resolution, quality assurance/quality control, value engineering, and public communications, and it identifies additional sources of guidance, training, and assistance. The Guidelines describe the transit capital project development process, general project management principles, and the application of those principles in the planning, design, construction/equipment procurement, and testing/start-up phases. While emphasizing Major Capital Projects and New Starts projects, information on the Small Starts program is also provided. Regardless, the principles and practice discussed have applicability to any capital transit project.
