Capital Project Delivery
Construction
Engineering Monitoring
and Control
The New Jersey Department
of Transportation (NJDOT)
oversees the Construction
Engineering Monitoring
and Control process as
part of Cost Management.
Cost Management also includes
Cost Estimating, Cost Budgeting,
and Cost Monitoring and
Control processes throughout
each phase of the Capital
Project Delivery System.
The Construction Engineering
Monitoring and Control
process helps Project Managers
(PM) to monitor Construction
Engineering (CE) expenses
for both state and federally
funded construction projects.
When CE expenses for a
particular project exceed
the amount set for federally
funded construction projects,
the project is in suspense.
As per 23CFR1.9(a) Federal
funds shall not be paid
on account of any cost
incurred prior to authorization.
If additional CE funding
is needed to complete the
construction project, the
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) requires that NJDOT
provide additional justification
and a comprehensive estimate.
Functions
The proposed CE guidance consists of two main functions: monitoring CE expenditures versus CE obligation, and requesting additional CE funding.
The PM is responsible for the monitoring function. PM’s commonly use the NJDOT Financial Management Information System (FMIS), Business Objects, and the Project Reporting System (PRS) Budget Alert Data Spreadsheet to complete this task.
The PM is also responsible for requesting additional funding, which entails submitting a comprehensive estimate with supporting justification to Capital Investment Planning & Development. If the CE is federally funded, Capital Investment Planning & Development will request approval from the FHWA. Detailed instructions for monitoring CE expenditures versus CE obligation and requesting additional CE funding can be found in the Construction Engineering Monitoring and Control Procedure.
Process Goal
The goal of the Construction Engineering Monitoring and Control process is to ensure that project CE funding is properly managed and monitored, and to prevent the suspension of projects.
