147   A P P E N D I X C Follow-up Interview Questions NCHRP Synthesis Topic 52-05 “Implementation of Subsurface Utility Engineering for Highway Design and Construction” 1. Overall use of SUE: Describe your use of Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) within Highway Design and Construction. Is there a defined program? Is ASCE 38 referenced in your approach? 2. Project Determination of SUE Use For which project types do you use SUE? Are there specific project circumstances that lead to more advanced use of SUE on one project versus another? Perhaps relating to location (urban versus rural), delivery method, etc. If there are criteria, is this formalized in process or guidance? 3. Project Development Timeline and SUE Within project development, what is the timing of your SUE investigations? How is the information used during design? Do you conduct additional SUE after relocations? 4. Communication of SUE Information/Data How is SUE information communicated or depicted to: the design team? The construction contractor? 5. SUE Deliverables and Quality Control Who develops your SUE deliverables? Is there a QC/QA evaluation of them?

148 Implementation of Subsurface Utility Engineering for Highway Design and Construction How is the information from SUE investigations stored and accessed for future use? Are these investigations made public? If SUE is contracted, who has data ownership? 8. SUE During Construction Do you conduct any SUE investigation during construction? Do your contractors ever conduct their own SUE investigations during construction? 9. SUE Program Evolution and Lessons Learned How has your SUE program evolved over time? Do you have lessons learned to share? 10. SUE Firm Successful Practices What practices of SUE firms are successful in your DOT’s view? Where could the industry do better as a whole? Do you have a prequalification process and does it appear to be working well? 11. Expanded Utility Program Are you combining, or plan to combine in some fashion, your Utility Coordination needs with your Utility Investigation needs in a more complete Utility Engineering program? 12. Proposed Locations for Relocated Utilities Do you propose alignments for utility relocations? 6. Costs and Savings of Using SUE Do you have any metrics or procedures to capture cost and time savings on your program? Do you have any documented costs or time savings or risk reduction examples on projects using SUE? What about the costs of SUE investigations? Do you have documented or perceived return on investment from the use of SUE? Have you encountered risks in conducting SUE? 7. SUE Investigation Data Storage and Access
