Forecasting and Performance Office

The Forecasting and Performance Office functional areas include Forecasting and Project Cost, Project Management and Local Programs.

The Forecasting and Project Cost Section sets policies, procedures and maintains project cost systems in support of statewide project cost processes. Functions include reviewing the project cost in the Department's 5-Year Work Program, conducting post-bid reviews, publishing the Basis of Estimates Manual, providing user support for the Long Range Estimates (LRE) and Design Quantities and Estimates (DQE) project cost systems, and producing a variety of cost history reports. Market Analysis (Bid Review) monitors bidding and other marketplace activities within the construction industry for trends and pricing patterns.

The Project Management Section is responsible for providing the tools necessary to deliver quality projects on schedule and on budget. We develop and implement consistent and efficient Project Management practices for the delivery of safe transportation projects in Florida.

The FDOT Local Programs office provides transportation resources to local agencies for the construction, resurfacing, and rehabilitation of roadways and structures within their communities. With a variety of both state and federal funding grant opportunities available for infrastructure related projects, agencies have the opportunity to utilize the Department's Local Programs offices to assist with the process from identifying appropriate funding all the way through design and construction to project completion.
