The IPD Project Delivery Team provides assistance to transportation agencies in delivering complex transportation improvements and oversees specific procedures mandated by Congress to help enhance cost estimating, financial planning, and project management practices for all major projects with construction values of $500 million or more receiving Federal funding. Throughout the project delivery process, access to accurate and updated cost estimates is essential to legislative bodies and transportation officials as they make strategic decisions on advancing projects. The processes overseen by the IPD Project Delivery Team assist in maintaining and disseminating accurate and realistic cost estimates. The Office of IPD also offers technical assistance to help agencies overcome project delivery challenges.
