Agency Project Package

Are you wondering: How do our typical projects work with Greenroads? Well, now is a great time to find out and test it out with some Pilot Projects. Refer to the Be a Pilot Project page for more information.

What is a Pilot Project?

Pilot Projects intend to serve as a learning experience for both the owner-agency and the Greenroads Foundation. The Pilot Project review is less formal than that required for certification, but it follows the same general rubric and process.

Benefits

• Customized Greenroads benchmark of your agency's internal practices
• We help you do some of the legwork for documentation
• You learn how Greenroads fits within its plans, policies and operations.
• We learn about how to improve Greenroads
• We learn how your organization works
• You may discover new and innovative ideas to implement with minimal effort and cost
  
• We may discover your new and innovative ideas and share them with others
• Eligible Pilot Projects can opt to get certified for an additional discounted fee
  

What's Included?

• 1 hour introductory live meeting/webinar for agency staff
• Phone conferences with each project manager regarding the project (about 1-2 hours)
• Review and assessment of standard project documentation and the project website.
  
• Email or phone communication with project team members as needed
• Preparation of technical report
• Use of the Greenroads Pilot Project logo on at least 1 project.
  
• Project summary on our list of Pilot Projects.
  

Note that any additional training and support can be arranged hourly. Travel expenses are not included and must be reimbursed at cost plus standard per diem rates.

How Does It Work?

Choose 2 to 4 projects to be reviewed ($4,995 per project) that represent a respectable mix of your agency's work. The selected projects should meet a combination of these criteria for best results.

• Choose at least 1 project that has completed construction within the last 5 years.
• Choose at least 1 project that is currently in development (project level planning, design, or construction).
• Choose at least 1 project that is considered a typical project for your agency.
• Choose at least 1 project that is considered your agency's best foot forward (usually high effort internally).

Eligibility

• If your agency has already completed a Pilot Project or case study with us or the University of Washington, you do not qualify for this Review Package.
• Projects must be in some phase of project development: design, construction or complete. In other words, the question of "do we build a road or not?" has already been answered "yes."
  
• Capital Improvements Programs qualify as 2 projects (a program review and several segment reviews). These projects are commonly referred to as "maintenance" projects.
• High-level planning activities do not qualify for Review.
• Activities in Project Requirement PR-10 Site Maintenance Plan do not qualify for Review.
• Total value of all projects included must not exceed $100 million, except for State and Federal owners.

International Projects

Currently this is the only opportunity for project owners located outside of the U.S. and Canada. International projects are subject to different fees and Review Agreement arrangements. Contact us if interested in setting up a customization package for your country or local agency.
