The Highway Division currently uses Microsoft Project and all schedule files submitted to us must be submitted in this format. The sample PDF files illustrate the GANTT Chart format with which the Highway Division expects schedules to comply.
Designers shall submit design schedules monthly (for all funded projects) to the MassDOT Project Manager in Microsoft Project and in PDF.
A narrative addressing major issues and concerns as well as an explanation of any impacts to the project should be submitted monthly with the Progress Schedule. For each division of work, the narrative should address:
- The status of each major deliverable
- Work performed during dates of service
- Issues/proposed solutions
- Significant meetings/events
- Outstanding issues and critical actions required by the Designer, MassDOT, or third parties.
