Oregon CIAC reviews draft template for quarterly major‑projects report
Summary
The Continuous Improvement Advisory Committee reviewed a draft quarterly report template for 18 major transportation projects, discussing funding tables, schedule risks and summaries of change orders before staff finalizes a full report for April.
Members of the Continuous Improvement Advisory Committee, which includes Oregon Transportation Commission members and ODOT staff, reviewed a draft template intended to report on the agency’s largest projects. The draft covers project purpose, scope by phase, funding tables, authorization versus spend, schedule and delivery risks; staff used the I‑5 (Coogler/Delaney) widening in Region 2 as an example.
"This is our 2nd meeting ever in this new iteration," Chair Julie Brown said as she described the committee’s role in overseeing major projects and improving transparency. Staff explained the intent to produce a full quarterly report in April for 18 projects anticipated to exceed $50,000,000 in construction and to begin the reporting series with first‑quarter 2026 data. "What we'll be covering today is as an example of the template completed for one of the projects," staff told the committee.
Committee members pressed staff to ensure the report would be readable for the commission, legislature and the public and asked for a concise archive and change log so reviewers can see what changed since the last report. Staff said it will circulate the April report a week in advance and will bring forward the largest projects (statutory threshold cited during the meeting as $250,000,000) for discussion. The committee set a follow‑up timeline and asked staff to incorporate the meeting notes into the draft template before distributing it for review.
