Title: Value Engineering  
Abstract: This rulemaking will update 23 CFR part 627 to implement the changes made by section 1503 of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The general intent and requirements of the Value Engineering (VE) regulation will remain the same. Specific changes to the regulation include: specifying that a VE analysis is required for each project on the National Highway System (NHS) with an estimated total project cost of $50 million or more that utilizes Federal-aid highway funding; specifying that a VE analysis is required for each bridge project on the NHS with an estimated total project cost of $40 million or more that utilizes Federal-aid highway funding; removing the VE analysis requirement for bridges off the NHS; clarifying that a VE analysis is no longer required for projects delivered using the design build method of construction; and clarifying when a VE analysis should be conducted on projects delivered using the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) method of contracting.
