Summary of Scope of Requested Services
RIDOT Background and Organization
RIDOT recently transitioned to a project management-based organization and is looking to
modernize our current business processes and Project Management System.
Our current system, called the Project Management Portal (PMP), is a web-based project
management system that is mostly used to manage the construction portion of our projects.
Awarded bids are entered into the system with itemized cost breakdowns, progress payments
are issued and tracked based on these breakdowns and work performed. Contractor Daily
activities, shop drawings and RFI’s are also entered and logged by the system. The system is
reliant on electronic tracking of paper-based materials. The intent of using Unifier is to update
and modernize all our current business processes in the PMP.
Unifier will be used to handle everything in the project delivery process. From hiring and
managing design consultant contracts, managing the review of design submissions to inputting
the results of construction bids to manage progress payments and managing construction
projects through processing shop drawings, requests for information and change orders. Project
Managers, Contractors, Design Engineers, and Resident Engineers will all be using the Unifier
system to manage and contribute to projects from design through construction and final close
out.
