Definitions – Facility Type & Access Control

Highway

15

Logical termini

Easiest method is looking at NCDOT AADT web maphttp://ncdot.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=b7a26d6d8abd419f8c27f58a607b25a1

Any project types where logical termini does not matter? Modernization Access Management

What are not logical termini? County or jurisdictional boundaries Water crossings / Bridges Low volume intersections (in respect to the corridor)

Highway

16

Identifying corridor intersections in SPOT On!ine

Extremely important for the cost estimation tool to give predictable results.

Aviation

17

• Requesting component costs (ROW, Utilities, Construction)

• Requesting Source of Cost

• New Location and Airport Sponsor fields

• Work with your Airport Project Manager (APM) at the Division of Aviation

• Project pre-screening, FAA purpose• Correct SIT (expanded capital eligibility)• Inclusion in Airport Layout Plan• Partner Connect Project Request Number (PRN)• Cost

New to P6.0

18

Remove P5.0 system plan goal requirement (for eligibility as a capital project) Expand eligibility to include projects that increase the

capacity of the airport and/or modernize the airport

Prescreening process – Division of Aviation to assist in screening and vetting projects prior to Prioritization submittal to ensure a better chance of meeting FAA approval of purpose and need

Independent vs. Incidental Bike-Ped Projects

RPO Question

32

Has anyone heard the updated complete streets policy removes the local match for sidewalk/bike infrastructure as long as the bike/ped recommendations are in an adopted plan? I do not see that anywhere in the policy and I believe that change would have to go through the legislature as the match requirement is a part of the STI law.

CDE-DPE Questions

Questions Asked

34

• Submittal of Aviation project not currently in an ALP?

• One question that often comes up during express designs is what is the schedule…which really boils down to how late can we get the cost estimates in for P6.0?

• Will you briefly go over “how to” tips for using the existing testing spreadsheet?

• Will the P6.0 Highway testing spreadsheet be updated with P6.0 scaling? If so, when will it be available?

• Others?

Questions to You from SPOT

35

• What additional tools can we provide for you to be successful?

• Any feedback or concerns being received from the POs about P6.0 scoring?

• Do you have a plan for project coordination with your POs to eliminate duplicate/similar project submissions?

• FYI – Public Input periods during project submittal
