FINAL REPORT

CONSTRUCTION MANPOYER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

C. S. HughesSenior Research Scientist

and

R.· R. Long, Jr.Research Scientist

INTRODUCTION

The VDOT recognized a need to develop an effective, systematic, andmanagerially defensible method to assess and project the needed levels ofstaff for construction inspection. Accurate estimates of the numbers ofinspectors needed are essential to maintaining a high quality constructionprogram for the Commonwealth. The preliminary task in addressing this needwas to contract with Price Yaterhouse and Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. toevaluate the current practices for the management of construction manpowerand to outline a design for an effective Construction Manpower ManagementSystem (CMMS). This evaluation resulted in a final report dated June 1986(1). The report concluded that the Department's existing method ofdetermining inspection needs, which is primarily based on constructiondollars, is inadequate.

The VDOT administration agreed with the conclusion but believed that anin-house study would be a better way of incorporating the constructionmanagement expertise of the Department's engineers. Furthermore, thedecision was made that the Research Council should spearhead the effort todevelop and implement a CMMS, the urgency of which is dictated by therecord-breaking construction seasons now being faced.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of this project was to develop a CMMS using the generaldesign proposed by Price Yaterhouse and Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. as aguide. The CHMS was tailored to the specific needs of the Department; itcontains projections for both long- and short-term manpower needs. Thelong-term needs are primarily for manpower planning, whereas the short-termprojections should be helpful in staffing. Inspection activities includeall activities that occupy an inspector's time (with the exception ofpermits and subdivision work) and thus include all maintenance inspectionactivities as well as those included in construction project inspection.

The CMMS should provide the administration with a defensible manpowerestimate that would be available to support projections made, for example,to the legislature. But primarily, it was designed to be a planning toolfor both the Central Office and the districts. Upon implementing the systemand comparing the estimated needs with actual needs, the potential exists touse the system as a staffing tool.

The primary requisites for the development of the system were theestablishment of an interface with existing automated systems, themaximization of the use of these systems, and the minimization of additionalpaper work and the requirements for new information.

It was decided early, that the project would address engineeringmatters, and that policy decisions related to the use of the results werebeyond the scope of the project.

APPROACH

Organization

The authors acted as project managers to coordinate the collection ofinformation available in the Central Office and districts. The NationalPooled Fund Study "Development of a Construction Engineering ManpowerManagement System" (CEMM) (2) recommended that the required technicalinformation and guidance be-supplied by a steering committee specificallyestablished

o to review and approve the work plano to monitor progresso to provide technical inputo to review system developmentso to coordinate implementation efforts, ando to act on all matters requiring policy-level decisions.

The committee as appointed in October 1986 consisted of the followingpersons:

o C. B. Perry II, Northern Virginia District Engineer, Chairmano J. L. Corley, Bristol District Engineero V. R. Davidson, Lynchburg District Engineero E. E. Hull, Northern Virginia Assistant District Engineero J. C. Cleveland, Suffolk Assistant District Engineero C. F. Gee, Central Office, Assistant Construction Engineer,

The study began by analyzing the Price Yaterhouse and Roy JorgensenAssociates, Inc. report and the CEMM. Both reports were very helpful inproviding direction for the CMMS.

The project began with the consideration of the following activities,which will be discussed in greater detail in the next section:

1. identification of all activities requiring inspection time2. description of all inspection activities using the Phase Inspection

Guideline as a starting point3. identification of all project types4. definition and determination of work units within each project type5. determination of typical quantities by project type6. development of staffing guidelines for each inspection activity.

These items form the basis for determining manpower planningfor each project.

The system was intended to provide a reasonable degree of accuracy andbe based on the best contract -information available.

Items Nos. 1 through 4 were determined using the Department's existingpractices, such as the Phase Inspection Guidelines or the expertise of theCMMS Steering Committee. However, for item No.5 it became apparent thatthere were two different ways of obtaining information. The most accuratewas the Construction Division's E03 system, which contains quantitative

estimates of all construction items by project. These are estimatedcontract bid quantities and are only available for projects that are to beadvertised in the next 18 to 24 months. Since the CMMS needs manpowerestimates for a period exceeding 24 months, it was decided that for·long-term projected quantities, average quantities should be determined byproject type based on E03 historical records, which contain final payquantities and thus are quite accurate. Furthermore, it ,was decided thatthe Program/Project Management System (PPMS) would be the device foridentifying projects that are in the planning stage, and it would thereforedefine long-term needs for the next 6 years.

THE CONSTRUCTION MANPOVER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Standard Project Types

The CEMH system design manual (2) recommends that the number ofcontract types used should be the minimum number needed to distinguishcontracts according to type of construction and contract characteristicswhich produce similar staffing requirements. General guidelines fordetermining the number of contract types needed were also recommended by theCEHH. The contract types chosen should represent approximately 75 percentof the number of contracts and 90 percent of the dollars in the constructionprogram. Other state's construction management programs were reviewed, andthe number of project types varied from 5 for Vest Virginia to 23 for NorthDakota (3). The premise used in this study was that the number of projecttypes should be sufficient to describe the types of construction activitiesbeing conducted but be as few as possible so as not to complicate thesystem.

The Construction Division analyzed the types of projects over the lastthree years and provided the distribution of projects and money shown inTable 1.

The cumulative distribution indicates that New Construction, Bridge,Resurfacing, and Videning account for more than 90 percent of the moneyspent, and New Construction, Bridge, and Resurfacing account for more than75 percent of the projects. Therefore, based on the criteria used in theCEHH system, Miscellaneous and Safety could be deleted as types of projects.However, it was the opinion of the steering committee that the CMMS would bemore accurate if Safety were retained as a type of project. Vith theaddition of Safety, over 93· percent of the projects and 96 percent of thecontract money is covered. The use of a category called Unique wasconsidered to take care of unusual projects such as a bridge-tunnel, but thecommittee fel.t that these projects occur so infrequently that they would bebetter planned for and staffed separately from the normal system. The finaldefinitions for types of standard projects are as follows:

1. Construction (C). New construction of or additions to divided orundivided highways. Also, the removal and replacement or reconstructing orupgrading of an exis~ing facility. May include short relocations. Includeswidening equivalent to one lane width or wider. Includes all major phasesof construction--site prepar~tion, earthwork, drainage, and paving. Minoritems such as signing, landscaping, and guardrail are included unless theyare in separate specialty contracts.

2. Videning and Resurfacing (V & R). Videning and resurfacing ofexisting highway facilities when the total added width is equivalent to lessthan one lane width and grades are not changed. Includes minor grading,extending culverts, etc.

3. Safety (5). Placement or replacement of guardrail, signs,lighting, traffic signals, and other safety and traffic control devices whenlet on a specialty contract basis. Includes intersection improvements andminor construction or reconstruction of streets or highways. Normallyincludes some item removal, grading, drainage, and paving.

4. Bridge New Construction (B.N.C.). Includes complete structures.(Manpower requirements determined by standards staffing for each bridgeoccurrence by highway system.)

5. Bridge Reconstruction (B.R.C.). Includes structures when decks arereplaced on existing substructures or decks are widened and substructuresextended. (Manpower requirements determined by standard staffing for eachbridge occurrence by highway system.)

6. Maintenance. Overlaying existing roads with hot mix, surfacetreatment, slurry seal, or cold mix. Includes bridge repair and painting,guardrail, pavement marking, concrete repair, sidewalk, curb, and gutterconstruction let as maintenance contracts. Manpower requirements includedas a baseline value with estimated annual increases. (Although this is notstaffed per project, as mentioned previously, the steering committee felt itneeded to be accommodated by the system.)

-1644Inspectable Items

The inspectable items were obtained from the Department's PhaseInspection Guideline list, which was expanded by the steering committee.The expanded list of inspectable items is shown in Table 2.

*Items added to the Phase Inspection Guideline list

As the steering committee developed work units and staffing guidelinesto use with the inspectable items, it became clear that this list was toodetailed to be efficient. Thus the inspectable items were reduced to the 11shown in Table 3.

York Units and Staffing Guidelines

A work unit is defined, in this project, as a quantity of work for agiven inspectable item that can be inspected in one-half to two days. Yorkunits are in the unit of measure used in contract bid tabulations, e.g.,Earthwork is in cubic yards. For many inspectable items, subtopics usevarying work units, and these were combined for the system to functionproperly. For example, Earthwork includes clearing and grubbing (acres),excavation and embankment (cubic yards), and undercut excavation (cubicyards). Therefore, it became important when selecting the staffingguidelines, i.e., the number of man-hours necessary to inspect the workunits, to include all the inspection activities covered in the inspectableitem.

Teams were selected from the steering committee to develop work unitsand staffing guidelines for each inspectable item. An example of theassumptions and logic used to develop staffing guidelines is shown forBridges and Structures in Appendix A. Each team presented its estimate ofthe staffing guideline to the entire steering committee to obtain comments

before finalizing the values. Table 4 shows the resultant work unit andstaffing guidelines for each inspectable item.

Since all inspectable items do not occur on all project types, adistribution of inspectable items by project type was necessary. Again,using the steering committee's expertise, the inspectable items are shown inTable 5 for each project type. Bridge New Construction and Reconstructionuse only the inspectable item Bridges and Structures.

It became obvious that the inspectable items, work units, and staffingguidelines listed in Table 4 did not address several inspection functions.Administration functions such as maintaining a project diary, record-keepingfor a myriad of programs, training, travel to the residency office, etc.were not included. The committee decided that a conservative estimate of aninspector's time required to accomplish these functions is 15 percent.Therefore, this value was used as an additive factor when establishingmanpower values for a project.

NOTE: Not all inspectable items in Table 4 occur in this table. Thoseitems not included are used in the short-term staffing assessment.

Modifiers

It became clear when establishing staffing guidelines, that typicalvalues for inspectable items were not typical in some locations and undersome construction conditions. ---

One of the ways recommended by the CEMM to address out-of-the-ordinarycontract characteristics was to use modifiers to the staffing guidelines,usually to increase the man-hours of inspection required by the unusualcharacteristics. The steering committee decided that modifiers were theproper way of taking into consideration these anomalous situations.Therefore, the committee developed a list of modifiers that would apply tocertain inspectable items under certain construction conditions. This listof modifiers is shown in Table 6.

The modifiers are applied in both the short-term and the long-term to acity or county if they have been described as having mountainous terrain,wetlands, soils requiring subgrade stabilization and/or urban conditions.(NOTE: Semiurban and urban designations were determined by populationdensity for a given location.) There are instances where modifiers must becombined, and the decision was made that they should be additive. Forexample, the staffing guideline for the inspectable item Earthwork inVirginia Beach would be determined as follows:

The full table of modifiers is in Table 5 of Appendix B.

Maintenance

There are many inspection activities included under Maintenance.However, these activities are relatively constant, and thus the estimate ofmanpower needs for these activities was judged to be best estimated by usinga base-line manpower estimate with an annual percentage increase. Theactivities that require inspection under maintenance contracts are:

o plant mix resurfacingo surface treatment (chip seal) resurfacingo slurry seal application

o cold mix placemento pavement markingo maintenance restorationo bridge repairo sidewalk repairo curb and gutter repairo coal severance resurfacingo revenue sharing activitieso airport, industrial, and recreational access construction.

In order to determine the anticipated needs for these activities, itwas deemed reasonable to use recent and anticipated inspection usage. Thus,the districts were asked to provide the number of man-hours used for theabove mentioned activities for 1986 and an estimated annual increase inman-hours for the same activities during the next three years. The data arepresented in Tabl~ 7.

The estimated annual increase was calculated to be 10.3 percent of thepresent usage. Based on the experience of Central Office administrators andthe steering committee, this figure was judged to be too high, and anincrease of 5 percent annually for each the next three years was decidedupon for the CMHS.

Contract Quantities

As stated earlier, in the analysis of short-term manpower needs,contract bid quantities are available on a project basis from estimatesavailable in the Construction Division's E03 system. However, for long-termmanpower needs, PPMS, which contains projects in the Department's six-year

plan, has no quantities, only general descriptive data such as type ofconstruction, length, etc. It was decided that for projects in PPMS, eachinspectable item would have an assigned typical quantity based on theaverage quantity obtained from recent pay quantities obtained from theConstruction Division. For these quantities to be of use, they had to bedetermined in relation to the inspectable items/project type (see Table 5).Therefore, for example, the typical (average) quantity of earthwork wasdetermined as follows:

Project Type

Construction - Plant MixConstruction - Surface TreatmentYidening and ResurfacingSafety

Typical Quantity/Hi (Cu Yds)

38,31220,19123,33126,392

NOTE: The typical quantities shown above were those originallydeveloped through the E03 system, and, as will~be discussed later, theywere modified for use in the proposed system.

Manpower Planning Value

The' manpower planning values (MPV) for each project are easilydetermined by (1) dividing each inspectable item quantity by the appropriatework unit and then multiplying by its staffing guideline, (2) summing thesevalues for all applicable inspectable items, and (3) multiplying by thelength. An example of this calculation is shown in Table 8.

Bridges

Establishing MPVs for Bridge New Construction and Reconstructionpresented a challenge. As mentioned earlier, the steering committee feltthat the inspectable item, structures and substructures, was sufficientlyencompassing to be the only one needed to describe the inspection activitiesfor this project type (see Appendix A). Also, because the 6-year plan doesnot include bridge lengths, a standard quantity had to be developed that wasindependent of length. On the other hand, the committee felt that bridgework differed sufficiently on the interstate and primary system as comparedto the secondary system that the MPVs developed should be different for thesecondary system. Therefore, MPVs were determined for Bridge NewConstruction on the interstate and primary systems to be 2,000 man-hours perbridge and on the secondary system to be 600 man-hours per bridge. Thecommittee further concluded that for Bridge Reconstruction, an MPV was onlyneeded on the primary and interstate system, and this value was calculatedto be 625 man-hours. For secondary Bridge Reconstruction, it was concludedthat most of this work should be done under the maintenance replacementactivity; thus, this would be addressed under the maintenance base-linevalue.

Bridges do occur on project types other than Bridge New Constructionand Bridge Reconstruction. Construction projects sometimes include bridges,and Videning and Resurfacing occasionally include bridges. The committeefelt that these projects needed the same additional staffing per bridge. Soa construction project with a bridge would be staffed according to theConstruction MPV plus the appropriate Bridge New Construction MPV. Bridgeson other project types would be staffed with the project MPV plus theappropriate Bridge Reconstruction MPV. A complete list of Bridge MPVs arein Table 9.

Accumulating MPVs for a given time frame was not as simple as firstimagined. MPVs cannot simply be added because this does not take intoconsideration scheduling. The anticipated project start date and duration

must be determined along with MPV to determine how many MPVs are needed in ageographical area for any given month.

The first assumption that had to be made concerned the project startingdate. This was estimated to be 10 weeks after the advertisement date. Thenext information needed was an estimate of project duration based oncontract type and highway system. To get this information, the assistantdistrict engineers for construction were polled on their experience as tohow long various project types took for completion. This information waspresented to the steering committee, which recommended a few changesresulting in the duration estimates in Table 10.

The starting date and duration are used in combination with the projectMPVs to determine the accumulated MPVs necessary by residency as shown inFigure 1. The calculation requires the following steps.

1. Accumulate MPVs (including administration) by project (see Table 8).

2. Apportion MPVs by project by month within a calendar year withthe starting date being 10 weeks after the advertisement date andthe duration according to Table 10.

3. Accumulate MPV/yr by project including maintenance for eachresidency and district (Figure 1).

Full Time Equivalent

The committee deliberated a great deal over the proper way to convertfrom MPVs (man-hours) to full-time equivalents (FTEs). Several figuresranging from 1,832 to 2,288 have been used. The committee concluded thatCMMS should use the same conversion as used by Department-wide staff planningto convert man-hours to FTEs, which currently is 1,832. This figure does notinclude overtime.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Using the components of the conceptual design as discussed in theprevious section, the actual conversion of project listings to manpower needscan be explained. Figure 2 shows a very basic flowchart for the system'soperation in both the long- and short-term. For a more detailed descriptionof the system operation refer to Appendix B.

Long-Term

For the long-term, projects are taken one-by-one from PPHS and screened.Projects not meeting certain criteria such as valid starting dates orappropriate status classification are omitted and the remaining projects arestaffed. An accepted project is classified by type as one of the standardproject types. Based on the project type, a standard set of inspectableitems and item quantities per mile is assigned. The actual project lengthcontained in PPHS is then used to calculate the total item quantities. Thenumber of work units are then derived from these totals. The location of theproject along with the staffing guidelines dictate the set of modifiers usedto determine the total MPV for a given project. (Refer to Table 8 for asample MPV calculation.) .

Short-Term

For the short-term, projects are taken one-by-one from PPHS and screenedusing the same criteria used for the long-term, except the time period isonly two years. Since a specific project is staffed based on the occurrencesand quantities of inspectable items, project type is of no consequence to MPVcalculation for the short-term. E03 quantities are converted to CHMS itemquantities and staffed by using the same work units, modifiers, and staffingguidelines that are used for the long-term.

FTE Distribution

Once MPVs have been calculated for all appropriate projects, they areconverted to FTEs, sorted by district and residency, and distributed andaccumulated according to project duration. Obviously, the short-term numbersshould be more accurate since specific projects are staffed by actual itemquantity occurrence. Although the occurrence of items may be the same forthe long- and short-term, they may not be; even if they are the same, therecan still be considerable difference in the quantities of the items.Unfortunately, since there are no specific quantity estimates available foruse in the long-term, the only feasible approach to obtain these data was touse standard project types with standard inspection items to determineaverage item quantities per mile.

Printouts

Hard copies of both the short-term and long-term estimates are providedby residency and district by year: short-term for the present and the nextcalendar year, and long-term for the present and the next five calendaryears.

Delivery of Printouts

The steering committee decided that the listed printouts should be sentto the following offices.

CommissionerChief EngineerConstruction EngineerDistrictsResidency

Scheduling of Printouts

Statewide and district totalsStatewide and district totalsStatewide, district, and residency totalsDistrict and residency within district totalsResidency totals

The Construction Division with input from the assistant districtengineers for construction agreed that printouts would be needed three timesa year, in April, September, and November. The April printout will allowthem to assess their immediate needs as the construction season begins. TheSeptember printout will allow them a chance to check the system to see if theestimated FTE needs from the CMMS agree with their estimates and provide timefor updates, corrections, etc. before the November printout, which would beused primarily for estimates of required staffing for the next calendar year.This printout would also be the primary one for the Construction Division touse in discussions with the administration.

RESULTS

Long-term

An example of the long-term estimate over the next six years is shown inTable 11. Two results are obvious. First, a comparison between FTEs forlong-term (Table 11) and short-term (Table 12) show that the long-termunderestimate the short-term by about 35 percent. This is a disturbingresult. It is caused by the difference in quantities and the occurrence ofinspectable items used in the two parts of the system. For the short-term,actual bid quantities per project are used; whereas, for the long-term a setof average, typically occurring quantities must be used. In a detailed

analysis of the discrepancy in FTEs, it was found that 39 of the 45residencies had short-term and long-term estimates reasonably close. Theprimary source of the difference was found in six residencies, all of whichadministered construction contracts in urban areas. This led to theconclusion that the average quantities used for the long-term wereunderestimated for urban construction.

To determine the effect of urbanization on the typical quantities, twonew sets of quantities were generated that separated urban from otherprojects using the classifications given in the modifier table (Table 5 inAppendix B). Using these estimates of quantities, another computer run wasmade and these results were compared to the originally determined standardquantity results.

Table 13 shows the weighted percent difference between short-term andlong-term manpower estimates for standard quantities for all projects andfor quantities separated by urban/nonurban. The percent listed for eachdistrict is based on the proportion of the total statewide difference thatthat district contributes.

Table 13

Contract Quantities based on Standard andUrban/Nonurban, Veigh ted % Difference'

District Standard Urban/Nonurban

Bristol 0.5 0.6Salem 4.1 3.4Lynchburg 0.3 0.7Richmond 8.8 6.2Suffolk 11.2 7.9Fredericksburg 0.1 0.9Culpeper 0.1 0.1Staunton 0.1 0.5Northern Va. 9.7 5.5

Total 34.7 25.7

The first conclusion from these data is that the separation ofquantities based on urban/nonurban classification brings the short-term andlong-term estimates closer. The figures in the "total" row indicate that thelong-term is lower than the short-term by 34.7 and 25.7 percent for thestandard and urban/nonurban quantities, respectively. Thus the separation ofquantities based on urban and nonurban location brings the two estimatescloser together by 9 percent. Also these data indicate that the threedistricts of Richmond, Suffolk, and Northern Virginia create most of thedifference between the long-term and short-term estimates with both standardand urban/nonurban quantities. In every case, separating the quantitiesreduced the percentage difference. The urban residencies of Chesterfield,Norfolk, and Fairfax still account for 13.2 percent of the total 25.7 percentdifference. However, even with this information, it was felt that noadditional adjustments to the urban quantities were justified, i.e., theauthors felt that the best estimates of quantities available were being used.The finalized quantities by project type and urban designation are includedin Appendix B.

Short-term

An example of the short-term estimates by district is shown in Table 12.This estimate for 1989 indicates a requirement of 1286.5 FTEs. This comparesvery well with the independently derived manpower needs assessment made bythe districts and construction division. Vhen their estimated FTEs of 1017is increased by 25 percent to cover typical overtime allocations it becomes1271 FTEs.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

Verification

Verification efforts incorporated in the development of this system haveincluded comparisons with staffing estimates submitted by field personnel,and as previously discussed, the results indicate close agreement for theshort-term estimates and somewhat less agreement for the long-term.

A more objective approach to verification of the short-term figures wasalso included. CMMS was used to estimate needed staffing levels for 1985through 1988, and these figures were compared to the actual hours ofinspection recorded through the Human Resource Planning System (HRPS) for thesame period of time. Table 14 gives these figures. Even though the HRPSnumbers include overtime, comparisons can be made on an equivalent basissince HRPS does not inflate the hours to reflect the time-and-a-half payrate.

Vith the exception of 1985, the CMMS estimates are higher than HRPS.Further examination of these discrepancies revealed several inherentreporting problems with HRPS that would tend to make the HRPS numbers lowerthan the actual hours charged. Probably more importantly, the HRPS figuresdo not include any consultant or contract inspection hours. So, HRPS hoursdo not reflect the real hours required for adequate inspection, whereas, CMMShours do. The variability of the differences should be a function of theadequacy of the size of the VDOT inspection work force- to handle theconstruction workload. Certainly, 1988 was the most ambitious construction

year of the four; therefore, one might anticipate the greatest differencethere. So, considering the potential differences with the HRPS numbers, theCMHS estimates appear to be right on target.

This analysis further indicates that an acceptable level of accuracy isafforded in the short-term portion of CHHS; however, future efforts shouldinclude some additional means of verification such as comparisons toconsensus staffing estimates from a panel of experts or some other defensiblemeans.

Accurate Database

As the system goes into operation, added emphasis must be placed onkeeping the PPMS database as up-to-date and accurate as possible. Since CMMSderives its project listings for all staffing estimates from PPHS, it iscritical that field personnel submit their project information to PPMS in acomplete and accurate form. Errors in project information like type, length,location, surface, etc. can have a direct impact on staffing projections.

Finally, CMMS is a system that will need to be monitored and updatedfrom time to time. There should be periodic feedback from the field aboutthe estimates. Although the system has been designed as carefully aspossible, there may be some bugs still in it, and this feedback is importantto working out these bugs and to monitoring the numbers to assess thepossible need for system changes in the system.

CMMS Monitor

There needs to be a person, probably in the Construction Division, whowill serve as this CMMS monitor. This person will keep up with the feedbackfrom the field and troubleshoot the problems that arise. An important toolthe monitor will have at his/her disposal for assistance with discrepanciesbetween the CMHS estimates and field estimates will be detailed proof sheetsof just how CMHS arrived at each estimate for each project. (A sample proofsheet can be found in Appendix B - Figure 2.) Using these proof sheets, themonitor will be able to determine the cause of the discrepancy. The monitorwill then decide whether the problem is with the system, the project data, orthe field estimate and proceed accordingly to remedy the problem.

In addition to handling differences in estimates, the monitor mustthoroughly understand the details of the system so that he/she can determinewhether and when basic changes may be needed. For example, if theDepartment's policy changes on the level of staffing desired on constructionprojects, staffing guidelines will need to reflect this. If maintenanceinspection needs change or locations become classified as semiurban or urban,the baseline maintenance level will need to be changed, or the modifier tablewill need updating. Also, the applicability of project types and inspectableitems will require periodic review. The monitoring and updating portion of

166:3

the implementation of the system will be very important with respect to theacceptance and usefulness of the systems.

CONCLUSIONS

1. Yith guidance from the CEMH Nationally Pooled Fund Study and thePrice Yaterhouse and Roy Jorgensen Associates, Inc. study, a CMMShas been devised for VDOT.

2. The CMMS appears to provide accurate construction staffing levelsfor short-term estimates, i.e., the next 18 to 24 months.

3. The CMMS appears to provide less accurate construction staffinglevels for the long-term estimates, i.e., the next 6 years.

4. The difference between short-term arid long-term estimates (thelatter is approximately 25 percent lower than the former) appearsto stem from the use of standard quantities and is most apparent inresidencies in which urban construction conditions are found.

5. Short-term construction estimates appear sufficiently accurate forVDOT to use them as a district planning tool and as a means ofpresenting statewide needs to the General Assembly.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Additional verification is needed to provide additional credibilityto the system. A panel of experts should be convened to provideindependent estimates of typical project staffing, which can thenbe compared to the CMHS estimates. Also, further efforts should beundertaken to analyze the differences between the long-term andshort-term staffing projections.

2. It is important that residency personnel who are responsible forPPMS inputs be instructed as to the importance of the accuracy ofthis data because it can have significant impact on the residenciesstaffing estimates for the future.

3. A CMMS monitor position should be established in the ConstructionDivision to serve as liaison between the Construction Division andthe field. This person would be very knowledgeable in the way thesystem operates and will help update the system as needed. It isanticipated this effort will require about .75 FTE.

The long-term portion of the Construction Manpower Management System(CMHS) obtains all the project information used for project staffing from theDepartment's Program/Project Management System (PPHS). The projectscontained in PPMS are screened in order to establish a list of projects to bestaffed by CMHS.

First, projects that are to be built with state forces are eliminatedsince no inspection time is allocated to such projects. Next PPHS projectswith scope-of-work classifications that are not included in CMHS areeliminated. Tables 1 and 2* show that projects with PPHS scope-of-work codes06, 07, 11, 13, or 14 are dropped. Table 3 shows status codes that areassigned to each PPMS project. Obviously, staffing assessments for projectsthat have no dates set, have been deferred or put in storage, or have beencompleted would be of little use; therefore, projects with status codes 10,30, 35, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 are further eliminated from considerationby CHMS. Finally, only those projects that will be actively underconstruction during the 6-calendar-year period which constitutes the staffingwindow for the long-term portion of CMMS will be staffed. For purposes ofCHHS, if a project's start date (advertisement date plus 10 weeks) fallswithin the 6-year period, it is considered active. All inactive projects aredropped.

Staffing requirements referred to as manpower planning values (HPV) arecalculated in man-hours for all projects remaining after the screeningprocess. Projects classified as types 1 through 4 are given total man-hoursper mile staffing requirements from Table 4. A project is considered urbanif it has an urban highway system code or if it is in an urban location.Location is taken from the city, town, or county code in the project number.All cities and counties with population densities greater than 200 people persquare mile and all incorporated towns with total populations greater than10,000 and densities greater than 200 per square mile are classified asurban.

Project location is also used to assign a set of modifiers to eachproject to increase the inspection time required for various inspectableitems according to project type. These modifiers are determined from Table5. Once the modifiers have been applied, each project may have an adjustedstaffing requirement per mile. The adjusted staffing value is then increasedby 15 percent for administrative overhead. Individual project HPVs aredetermined by multiplying project length by the final staffing value. Table6 shows a sample HPV calculation.

Before a project's HPV is finalized, a check is made to see if theproject includes any bridges. If there are any bridges, an additional MPV isadded for each bridge (see Table 7). For project types 5 and 6, totalproject MPVs are determined from Table 7 only.

In order to apportion staffing needs over the six-year planning period,projects must have a duration. Durations are assigned according to Table 8by project type. Using project start dates and project durations, CMMSapportions individual project staffing requirements equally by month over thelife of each project. Once all projects' staffing requirements have beenapportioned, HPVs are accumulated by calendar year, district and residency.Residency annual MPV totals then have needed maintenance MPVs added to them.The first year's maintenance needs are shown in Table 9. An estimated annualincrease of 5 percent is added for the next 3 years with the needs remainingconstant for the last 2 years of the 6-year period. MPVs are divided by 1832for conversion to FTEs. An example of MPV accumulation is shown in Figure 1.Finally, summary printouts are produced by district and residency for all ofthe long-term results.

The staffing requirements for the short-term portion of CHHS aredetermined very much the same way the long-term needs are determined. Themain differences are that the short-term staffing window is 2 calendar years,and instead of using standard quantities for each inspectable item, estimatedcontract quantities for each individual project are used.

The PPMS project listing is still screened to determine which projectswill be staffed, and the screening process is the same for the short-termexcept that only projects with start dates that fall within the 2-yearstaffing window are included. The projects that remain after screening arestaffed according to the inspection time required for specific occurrencesand quantities of inspectable items as contained in the ConstructionDivision's E03 system. PPHS projects are matched tn corresponding projects

contained in E03 to obtain item quantities. E03 items are converted to CMMSinspectable items according to Table 10. The staffing is then determinedusing the staffing guidelines given in Table 11. Next, a value of 150.0man-hours per mile of project length is'added to the project HPV. Modifiersare applied, and overhead is added just as it is in the long-term. MPVapportionment and accumulation are also done like the long-te~m, except thatstaffing needs are accumulated by month instead of just by year.

The long-term and short-term portions of CMHS have been presentedseparately simply because each portion derives staffing needs differently;however, both are still part of the same system. Both outputs are producedtogether, and in some cases, the two portions actually share staffingassessments. In order to prevent some projects' staffing needs from beingomitted because of glitches in the data, a default system has been built intothe system. If a PPHS project is screened for the short-term and acceptedbut for some reason an E03 matching project cannot be found, the long-termstaffing value is substituted for the short-term. Conversely, if a long-termproject cannot be staffed, typically because it has a length of 0.0, theshort-term value is substituted.

The long-term and the short-term each staff years Nos. 1 and 2. Onlythe long-term staffs years Nos. 3 through 6. It was suggested that only oneset of staffing values be produced for the first 2 years; however, because ofthe short-term's greater accuracy and the need for consistency in thelong-term 6-year projections, separate staffings are produced for years Nos.1 and 2.

Vhen a default value is needed for the long-term in years Nos. 3 through6 (or any other time when there is no short-term value available), a defaultvalue of 2 FTEs (3664 man-hours) is used. Before this default value is used,a check is made to see if there are any bridges in the project. If there areany bridges in the project, then it is staffed according to the number ofbridges. Certainly, staffing projects with default values is not desirable,but it is much better to account for those projects in some way rather thansimply to omit them.

Field personnel may have concerns about their projected staffing needsin CMMS. In order to help locate where discrepancies between fieldassessments and CMMS assessments might be, a detailed, project-level proofsheet can be generated by CHHS. Proof sheets show total staffing andapportionment by project for both the long-term and the short-term. Thesesheets should enable field personnel to spot problems like the use of defaultvalues, omission of projects, and erroneous project data.

Figure 2 is a sample proof sheet. The first column is thedistrict-residency code followed by the county, state project number, andPPHS number. The next two columns are the PPHS scope of work and CMHSproject type as defined in Tables 1 and 2. Start date is projected from theadvertisement date. Length is total project length in miles and number ofbridges is count. Highway system is coded as follows:

IPAPRRUS

Interstate SystemPrimary Arterial NetworkRegular Primary SystemUrban System .Secondary System

All modifiers that apply to a given project are marked with an "x."

SGHVUSU

Subgrade StabilizationMountainsVetlandsUrbanSemiurban

The next column is the long-term HPV with the corresponding short-termMPV right beneath. For the first project, the long-term HPV is 600.0 andthe short-term is 2410.64. Each of these numbers is followed by thecorresponding FTEs in the next column. The remaining columns all pertain tothe apportionment of the MPVs/FTEs over the life of the project. The sameformat is used in these columns as the other staffing columns--the firstnumbers in the column are long-term and the next ones are short-term. Startand end months are in reference to month 1 of calendar year 1. In the caseof the sample proof month 1 is January 1989. The column headed by yearrefers to the years during the staffing window which each project will span.All projected staffing may not be shown in the remaining columns if theproject extends beyond the staffing window (6 years for long-term and 2years for short-term). Based on the start and end months, the HPVs aredivided among the appropriate calendar years in the next to the last columnwith the FTE equivalents being given by year in the last column.
