IFA/INDOT and their technical team are responsible for reviewing design and construction submittals within 15 days. Timely reviews by the owner are often the number one risk for P3 contractors. On this fast track P3 project, this literally translates into hundreds of submittals that can pile up quickly and add risk to the project. Learn about the cloud based tools that are being used along with automated workflow processes that are streamlining the review process. The presentation will demonstrate the system IFA/INDOT is using to ensure that time-critical decisions are made on time.
