1. The 2017 Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (Spec Book) is due for an update that will be completed by June 30, 2027. An NDOT committee will review the Spec Book chapter by chapter and page by page to make sure the latest and correct information is included. NDOT is looking for a consultant with knowledge of writing or updating Standard Specifications for Highway Construction who will organize and facilitate meetings with NDOT Subject Matter Experts and help reach consensus quickly on multiple items. The consultant will assist NDOT by gathering information at these committee meetings and transferring the new or updated information into the 2027 Spec Book for review and acceptance by the committee. 2. The objective of this project is an update of the 2017 Spec Book. The format is not expected to change, but NDOT is always interested in more effective ways to present information and document changes over time, including the reasons or decisions that led to the changes. 3. Once finalized, the updated Spec Book will be posted on NDOT’s public website and is intended for use by NDOT, Consulting Engineers, Cities, Counties, FHWA, other State DOTs, Contractors, and any other user on NDOT’s website.
