15.3.4 TxDOT Framework for TSMO Project Delivery
The TxDOT TRF Division has developed a TSMO Evaluation Tool, accessible via
Appendix P, Section 2 – External References (Reference 4)
The TSMO Evaluation Tool identifies items for consideration that encourage the use of relevant TSMO projects and technologies as part of overall project development. The tool includes checklists for each phase of project delivery. These checklists can be used at each applicable stage of the project delivery process to evaluate opportunities to incorporate TSMO into projects. Planning phase checklists include lists specifically developed for stakeholder coordination, safety, operations, and technology. Design phase checklists include those specifically developed for the preliminary design concept conference, data collection efforts, and PS&E. Construction phase checklists include lists specifically developed for coordination efforts, technology, and operations. A checklist is also provided for activities to be conducted at project closeout
