The Division is responsible for prioritizing and recommending bridge replacements and rehabilitations for the District s Five-Year Work Program. I n accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding, the Division works closely with the Idaho Transportation Department Port of Entry and with local city and county law enforcement agencies in the enforcement of weight, height and width limits on District roads and bridges. T he Projects Management Section within the Construction Division administers numerous construction contracts issued by the District. Projects Management continues to automate its administrative systems to include any changes to projects, pay estimates, schedules, and trends. These projects include railroad crossing improvements, roadway construction, bridges, and signals.
T here are six transportation districts in the state highway department.
District III is divided into four Residencies that are responsible for the management of all transportation contracts that the ITD constructs. A little over 12 years ago, the ACHD entered into an agreement with the ITD to have the ACHD s Construction Services Division become a satellite construction Residency by getting the Inspectors and the materials lab staff certified by the state. Thereby qualifying the ACHD to handle all of the federally funded construction management contracts that the ACHD sponsors. The ACHD Construction Services Division is the only local highway district in Idaho, and possibly nationwide, that has this relationship with a state transportation agency and the Federal Highway Administration. New improvements to the transportation infrastructure are inspected and tested for specification and policy compliance before being accepted as a public liability.
