Phase Explanations as best understood;
Initial Phase – May vary depending on the project.
– PE = Preliminary Engineering
– PD&E = Project, Development, & Engineering
ROW = Right of Way Acquisition
Design = Design
CEI / Construction = Construction, Engineering, Inspection / Construction
– the way we understand it is that a project may or may not have the CEI component depending on the size and requirements. CEI is essentially an accountability layer withing the Construction phase.

In Closing
We’re very excited to see further details and expectations set around the Walton Referendum! This looks like a very positive list of projects! Which project are you most excited about? If you ask us, we vote the Marquis Project connected the community of Bay Loop/ Hammock Bay to 331 as an alternate to Highway 20 – very cool!
