Plans, specifications, and estimates

A PS&E package is what an agency takes to bid: plans, technical specifications, and an engineer's estimate that agree with one another. We carry them from the 30 percent submittal through signed final plans, and we can support the bid.

We develop complete PS&E packages for public infrastructure projects, to the agency's formatting and content requirements. We are familiar with ODOT, PBOT, and local agency PS&E standards and templates, and with the review milestones that go with them.

What you get

  • Construction plan sets

    Carried through the agency's review milestones, 30, 60, and 90 or 95 percent, to final signed plans, including Mylar sets where an agency still requires them.

  • Technical specifications

    Written to the agency's standards and templates, matched to the plans.

  • Quantities and engineer's estimates

    Based on the designed quantities, so the bid items match the sheets.

  • Supporting deliverables

    Base maps, traffic control plans, and project staking notes.

  • Bid administration

    Bid document preparation, advertisement support, bid evaluation, and contract award assistance.

  • Public outreach support

    Exhibits for open houses and stakeholder presentations, developed from the design model.
