Ground Rules. We agree to concentrate efforts in improving our work by following these ground rules: • We will respect each other by valuing individual opinions and maintaining an open mind to suggestions. • We will communicate directly with each other by telephone, mail, e-mail and more importantly in face-to-face conversations. After face-to-face conversation(s), all formal requests and/or actions discussed will be followed-up in writing. • MoDOT Project Director and/or Deputy and FHWA Transportation Engineers will work closely together to add the most value to the project and the overall program. • We will respond to e-mails and telephone calls within two days unless out of the office during that time. • We will make every effort to make sure project information has the concurrence of both MoDOT District and Central Office staff. • We will actively participate in scheduled meetings (i.e. Partnering Meetings, Quality, Materials, Progress Meetings, etc.), add value to the discussion, and refrain from personal agendas. Non-regularly scheduled meeting dates should be determined after management schedules have been considered. Other technical staff will attend as needed to discuss items of mutual interest. • We will review projects or documents thoroughly on the first submittal. For subsequent submittals, reviews and comments will focus only on the areas commented on previously and will not usually involve a re-review of the original submittal. All changes on subsequent submittals will be clearly identified. • Most timelines referenced are related to first submittals and are appropriate for a detailed and thorough review. Any subsequent submittals, in response to comments, will have a significantly reduced review time due to all material being a direct response to detailed and specific comments. • All design and construction submittals will be electronic copies. • We will revisit and revise this agreement every year and make revisions as necessary.
