Title: Annual Value Engineering Call for Data.
Background: Value Engineering (VE) is defined as a systematic
process of review and analysis of a project, during the concept and
design phases, by a multidiscipline team of persons not involved in the
project, that is conducted to provide recommendations for providing the
needed functions safely, reliably, efficiently, and at the lowest
overall cost; improving the value and quality of the project; and
reducing the time to complete the project. Applicable projects
requiring a VE analysis include Projects on the National Highway System
(NHS) receiving Federal assistance with an estimated total cost of
$50,000,000 or more; Bridge projects on the NHS receiving Federal
assistance with an estimated total cost of $40,000,000 or more; any

phase; and other projects as defined in 23 CFR 627.5. 23 U.S.C.
106(e)(4)(iv) and 23 CFR 627.7(3) require States to monitor, evaluates
and annually submit a report that describes the results of the value
analyses that are conducted, and the recommendations implemented on
