The executive director will determine whether a value engineering study is required based on project risk factors summarized below. The agency will be notified if a value engineering study is required during the design process and must complete the study prior to authorization to bid.

(1) Significant project complexity;

(2) Significant structures;

(3) Significant right of way;

(4) Multiple alignment options;
