§Needs are identified typically through the ITS
Strategic Plan and architecture development.
§Projects are proposed by HQ or
the Districts in the annual update to the 5 year Surface
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
§The STIP is released for public comment, approved by the Transportation
Board, and then approved by Idaho FHWA office.
§We typically use the Term Agreement (pre-qualified
on-call list) for consultant design services.
§We use either a low bid approach or a best
value approach for ITS projects.
