Optimizing the STIP Letting and Construction Schedule

Using historic project data, Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is interested in identifying which projects should be advertised or “let” throughout the year in order to optimize schedules, aid in prioritization of work, and maximize cost-savings. With the same information, MoDOT would like to have a tool or methodology to identify the average annual workload of contractors to determine remaining capacity each year and when it might be most optimal to let projects in certain regions. For example, if MoDOT knows that certain contractors are close to being at full capacity in a specific region or district they commonly bid in, MoDOT may choose to delay (or accelerate when possible) a project to allow more schedule flexibility and ensure competition. This may involve the use of artificial intelligence or machine learning technologies.
