The District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) Office Manual for Construction Management (CM) presents DDOT’s procedures and standards for managing and administering construction projects.

The primary purpose of the manual is to establish standard operating procedures for DDOT’s engineers, construction managers, consultants, and contractors in order to promote uniformity and efficiency. The construction management staff must coordinate with others who provide services that include planning, budgeting, pre-design services, design services, scheduling, bid and award services.

The CM procedures written in this manual are primarily for DDOT projects. The use of CM practices provided in this Manual is beneficial to the overall success of DDOT’s construction program.
