Request for information or changes (1) – This action includes the construction lead
submitting contractor questions, contractor proposals, errors in the plans and/or
specifications, etc. to the EOR for review and comment. For clarification of plans and/or
specifications, skip to STEP 8. For proposed changes to the plans and/or specifications,
continue to STEP 2.
Proposed solution (2) – This action includes the EOR submitting plans, specifications,
estimates, requests to deviate from standards, etc. to region traffic for review, comment,
and/or approval. For minor changes, skip to STEP 7. For major changes, continue to
STEP 3.
Proposed solution (3) – This action includes the region traffic submitting plans,
specifications, estimates, requests to deviate from standards, etc. to the Traffic-Roadway

construction lead. The solution may include revised plan sheets, revised specifications,
and/or new plan sheets. The construction lead will then direct the contractor based on
the approved solution.
