Organizational Evolution I‐595 Port Everglades Expressway
Publication: Journal of Construction Engineering and Management
Volume 115, Issue 3
Abstract
AS the I‐595 Port Everglades Expressway program matured from the design stage to commencement of construction, the organization structure changed as well. The Florida Department of Transportation's innovative use of a construction services consultant (CSC) for an interstate highway program has evolved, from delegation of responsibility to the CSC from a few senior FDOT preconstruction/design managers, to the institution of a FDOT task force with project‐specific managers over the major functional areas of design, construction and right‐of‐way. The CSC has assumed a staff function with most of the responsibility and authority vested in the FDOT task force personnel. This arrangement works very well, improving communications within the Department, speeding approvals and leveraging the effectiveness of FDOT managers by the use of CSC staff experience in mega‐project management. A byproduct of using the readily mobilized CSC staff is the exposure of FDOT personnel to the latest microcomputer‐based management controls systems.
