| All projects are now to be estimated using the Trns*port system software using the Construction Cost Estimating Guidelines as released through Baseline document BDC06T-06.
Only if the Designer has been granted permission to continue a project using the legacy Contractor Payment System Front End (CPSFE) program should the infomation written below be used.
Construction Cost Estimation
Below you will find information and computer programs to create Construction Cost Estimates for the the Final Engineer's Estimate, the Proposal, and a Summary Sheet.
Contractor Payment System Program
The Contractor Payment System (CPS) consists of PC and Mainframe programs used by the NJDOT to develop Final Engineer's Construction Estimates and Proposals for receipt of bids, to maintain project information and to pay contractors. The Contractor Payment System Front End (CPSFE) program is used by consultants and design units of the Department to create the data files needed by the NJDOT, and to produce Engineer's Estimates for projects. When the data files are complete, the files are uploaded by the NJDOT to the mainframe CPS program in order to produce the contract documents.
How to use the system:
1 - Download the CPSFE Manual (zip 782k) for installation instructions.
2 - Download the Contractor Payment System Front End program - Version 1.4 (zip 2.43m). Version 1.4 is used only for setting up the program as an initial installation. CAUTION! Please be aware that if you have a previous version of this program or data, installing this program will wipe out any previously stored data. If you have a previous such as Version 1.3, use the upgrade program.
3 - Download the Contractor Payment System Front End program Upgrade to 1.4 (zip 1.436m). This is used for upgrading from Version 1.3 to version 1.4 of the program and preserves any existing data.
4 - Use of this program requires the Bid Price Report and the Item List files. See below for details.
