Details:
The goals of the ADCMS Program, include:
- Accelerated State adoption of ADCMS applied throughout the construction lifecycle (including through the design and engineering, construction, and operations phases) that maximize interoperability with other systems, products, tools or applications; boost productivity; manage complexity; reduce project delays and cost overruns; and enhance safety and quality;
- More timely and productive information sharing among stakeholders through reduced reliance on paper to manage construction processes and deliverables such as blueprints, design drawings, procurement and supply-chain orders, equipment logs, daily progress reports, and punch lists;
- Deployment of digital management systems that enable and leverage the use of digital technologies on construction sites by contractors, such as state-of-the-art automated and connected machinery and optimized routing software that allows construction workers to perform tasks faster, safer, more accurately, and with minimal supervision;
- The development and deployment of the best practices for the use in digital construction management;
- Increased technology adoption and deployment by States and units of local government that enables project sponsors to integrate the adoption of digital management systems and technologies in contracts and to weigh the cost of digitization and technology in setting project budgets;
- Technology training and workforce development to build the capabilities of project managers and sponsors that enables States and units of local government to better manage projects using advanced construction management technologies and to properly measure and reward technology adoption across projects of the State or unit of local government;
- Development of guidance to assist States in updating regulations of the State to allow project sponsors and contractors to report data relating to the project in digital formats and to fully capture the efficiencies and benefits of ADCMS and related technologies;
- Reduction in the environmental footprint of construction projects using ADCMS resulting from elimination of congestion through more efficient projects; and
- Enhance worker and pedestrian safety resulting from increased transparency.

Eligibility Criteria
Entities eligible to apply for an ADCMS Program grant are State DOTs, including the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. While State DOTs are the only eligible Applicants to receive funds, they are encouraged to work in partnership with other State DOTs, local governments, Tribes, and private industry in designing their proposed projects. For projects involving partnerships, the FHWA expects one State DOT to serve as the lead entity and to be the grant recipient.
