Salem Project Performance
FY 2017 Project Development / Delivery
(2/17/17 Dashboard Data)
District Improvement Strategies:
•
•
•
•
Continue working with our localities to help develop/monitor schedules and holding quarterly teleconferences to discuss project progress.
Continuing progress on SMART SCALE, SGR and FY17 HSIP projects.
Continuing to work closely with Industry and to provide additional training to staff over the winter in an effort to improve quality of our pavements and bridge work.
Added a third ACE to serve the Bedford and Martinsville Residencies and re-structured staff under the District Project Controls Engineer to improve consistency and
accuracy of schedules / CTD’s and CEI budgets. Potential utility impacts and coordination with regulatory TOY restrictions and limitations of operations is also a focus.

Anticipate eliminating 34 SD structures in FY17:
•
•
17-SD bridges
17-SD culverts
Continued effort to target SD structures
• Focus on SD culverts (27 SD culverts on Secondary System)
Continue focus on Condition Yellow Structures
• Since 2010, Lynchburg has improved/reduced the number of condition yellow
(GCR = 5) structures by 43 (from 474 to 431)
• During the same timeframe, Lynchburg eliminated 79 SD structures.
Concentrate efforts on the Secondary System
• 79 of the 91 SD’s
95.4% of Lynchburg’s VDOT maintained

• 32 are currently under construction
• 51 are in the PE phase
• 28 are in the Six-Year Program awaiting PE start
Salem District is currently at 95.7% non-SD
We continue to target structurally deficient structures in our planning:
• $10.8 million (30%) of our FY17 discretionary maintenance allocation
targets SD structure projects
• FY17 goal is to eliminate 20 SD structures (net); we have eliminated 18 to

SMART SCALE Dashboard
Using the current VDOT Dashboard as a starting point, a new SMART
SCALE Dashboard was developed that is specifically focused on the
SMART SCALE program.
The new dashboard visualization tool:
• tracks on-time and on-budget progress of projects
• emphasizes on-budget and on-schedule (versus estimates and
durations)
• is intuitive and accessible to a wide audience
• is accurate and transparent to the public to let them know how we are
doing.
Once a project is scored and approved by the Commonwealth
Transportation Board (CTB), SMART SCALE projects are fully funded
and their progress can now be viewed on the new dashboard.

Safety Points
Worker and Contractor Safety
Emphasis:
 Virginia Unique Standards are more stringent than Federal
standards. Review applicable standards for compliance.
 The new OSHA Silica standard is in effect, basically prohibiting the
creation of silica dust during construction. New monitoring
requirements and PPE should be in effect. Refer to Table 1 for any
activity where Silica dust may be generated.
 Virginia Administrative Regulations Manual requires training and
usage of equipment and tools be in compliance with manufacturers
recommendations.
 Reporting fatalities and catastrophes.
 Fatalities within 8 hours
 Any work-related inpatient hospitalization, amputation or loss of
eye within 24 hours.

Safety Points
Worker and Contractor Safety
•
•
Review and update required employee
training.
Prepare personnel for the day’s tasks.
Ensure staff are knowledgeable of:
• SDS Data and how to obtain access, time is paramount in an
emergency!
• Silica Standard Updated, effective September 23, 2017
•
•
Reducing the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for crystalline silica to 50 micrograms per
cubic meter of air, averaged over an eight-hour shift.
Requiring employers to use engineering controls (such as water or ventilation) and work
practices to limit worker exposure; provide respiratory protection when controls are not
able to limit exposures to the permissible level; limit access to high exposure areas; train
workers; and provide medical exams to highly exposed workers.
• Virginia and OSHA emphasis on misclassification of workers – claiming
82
employees as independent contractors.
