CONSTRUCTION LEADERSHIP TEAM (CLT)
Charter & Operating Guidelines
(Charter revised January 1, 2009)
 
Authority:  The Construction Leadership Team (CLT) is established under the Project Delivery Leadership Team (PDLT) Operational Notice PD-01, dated April 1, 2005.  The CLT will have decision authority for the establishment of Department policies and procedures related to the implementation of the ODOT Construction Program.
 
Purpose:  The CLT serves as the overall policy body for the Departments Construction business line, which encompasses all activities necessary to take a project from contract award to final acceptance and payment for the project.
 
The CLT will routinely assess the effectiveness of the construction phase of projects and identify areas needing improvement.  These areas will be prioritized and included in an annual work plan that will be used to track and report the progress of the CLT.
 
Membership:  To accomplish this responsibility, CLT membership is comprised of key members from each Region who are involved in various aspects of the construction phase.  The committee is co-chaired by the State Construction and Materials Engineer and an Area Manager.  Other members include the Contract Administration Engineer as well as individuals from each Region and the Bridge Delivery Unit.  Region representatives will distribute representation across both Area Manager positions as well as Project Managers. It will be the responsibility of each member to represent their Region across the full range of construction activities.  To maintain some consistency on the Team, members are expected to serve at least a two year term, after the initial two years, it will be up to the represented Region to determine whether they change the representative or not.
 
Meetings:  The CLT will meet monthly on the first Tuesday of each month.  Meetings will be held in the ODOT Materials Lab from 9:00 am to noon.
 

2009 Accomplishments
 
The Construction Leadership Team has been active in pursuing items on its 2009 work plan.  Following is a summary of accomplishments for the past year.  Many of the items listed below will continue to be included in the 2010 work plan for further development.
 
Construction to Development
  • Developed a proposal with TLT to improve a consistent process for making use of construction to development feedback.  Proposal was approved by TLT with the first annual report to occur in March 2010.
 
Letter of Clarification
  • A proposal to use a consistent Letter of Clarification was developed as recommended by the ODOT Industry Leadership group and presented to Project Managers for approval.  CLT agreed not to pursue a Letter of Clarification due to input received from the Project Manager Team.
 
Improve Environmental Construction Practices
  • A Training outline combining Environmental and Erosion Control was developed.  A Pilot of the training class will occur in December and Spring.  The training curriculum will be rolled out for the 2010-11 Training season.
 
ARRA
  • Worked with FHWA to develop a letter defining acceptable criteria for ARRA CCOs. 
 
Improve Labor Compliance Review Process
  • Worked with Office of Civil Rights to develop a consistent process for payroll acceptance as requested by Industry.  The new process was implemented in July 2009.
 
Sustainability of PM Crews
  • Rolled out a plan to help guide Project Managers in developing the Technical Series staff (ES & CES Classifications) for promotional opportunities.
  • Developed and submitted a proposal to TLT formalizing a job rotation program to help build field experience among the Technical Centers and Construction.
 
Training
  • The Construction Training Curriculum for Project Managers was developed and approved by Project Managers and submitted to the Human Resource Training center.
