MassDOT Updates Standard Workbooks to reflect changes initiated under Engineering Directive E-20-001, and other minor changes that needed to be made. Primarily, MassDOT updated the PDDG Checklist and Submission Distribution Workbook found here https://www.mass.gov/lists/massdot-highway-project-development-tools and the Standardized Scope of Services and Workhour Estimate forms found here https://www.mass.gov/lists/massdot-highway-contract-and-invoicing-tools.
These changes are in addition to the previous release of the new Design Justification Workbook found here https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massdot-design-justification-reports.
Firms should use the current versions of these workbooks whenever possible and should check our website periodically for this reason.
