training. First-come, first-served.
STORMWATER BMP TRAINING
Date: Friday, December 12, 2014
Time: 8:00-4:30
Where: ODOT Central Office Auditorium
Cost: No Cost
RSVP: Required for Attendance
Stormwater Training
Dr. Bill Hunt and Ryan Winston from North Carolina State University will provide one day of
training regarding stormwater practices appropriate to highway situations and conditions. It will
describe stormwater management strategies that attempt to prevent, reduce and treat the
impacts of changing land use on water quality as well as predictable adverse hydrologic and
hydraulic changes. Case studies will describe practices applicable to Ohio based on case
studies and experience in North Carolina’s transportation departments. An overview of the Low
impact development (LID) approach (mimic the characteristics of runoff before development) will
be given by as well as other practices descriptions, applicability, as well as design
characteristics. The intent is to provide potential new tools for providing post-construction
stormwater controls for Ohio practitioners. Ultimately this will result in improved planning and
design processes for Ohio highways as well as improve compliance with state and federal
stormwater permit requirements.
Dr. Hunt is an Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in North Carolina State University's
Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering department. Dr. Hunt holds degrees in
Civil Engineering (NCSU, B.S., 1994), Economics (NCSU, B.S., 1995), Biological & Agricultural
Engineering (NCSU, M.S., 1997) and Agricultural & Biological Engineering, (Penn State, Ph.D.,
2003) and is a registered PE in North Carolina. Since 2000, Hunt has assisted with the design,
installation, and/or monitoring of over 90 stormwater best management practices (BMPs),
including bioretention, stormwater wetlands, innovative wet ponds, green roofs, permeable
pavement, water harvesting/cistern systems and level spreaders. He teaches 20-25 short
courses and workshops each year on stormwater BMP design and function throughout NC and
the US. Hunt is an active member of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological
Engineers (ASABE), serving as NC Section President and as Past-Chair of the National ASABE
Extension Committee. He is also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),
where he serves on the Urban Water Resources Research Council, the LID committee, and is
co-chair of the Bioretention Task Committee. He was chair of the 2nd National LID Conference
held in Wilmington, NC, in March 2007. Locally, he is a member of the Neuse Education Team,
NC Watershed Education Network and the NC Association of Extension Specialists.
Ryan Winston is an extension and research engineer in the Biological and Agricultural
Engineering Department at North Carolina State University. He works under Dr. Bill Hunt
studying the performance of innovative stormwater control measures. His primary research
focuses are the performance of permeable pavement, bioretention, and highway stormwater
practices in North Carolina and Ohio. He has designed, installed, and monitored BMPs in six
U.S. states.

SiteManager Training for External Consultants:
Regional training in SiteManager data entry and SiteManager usage is being offered by
ODOT’s Division of Construction Management and Office of Consultant Services.
SiteManager is the ODOT database platform used to manage daily project reporting,

to become prequalified. It is being offered in response to recent inquiries on training
opportunities of SiteManager usage. Topics covered will be entry of daily work reports
(DWR), entry of materials, estimate generation, change order processing, and reports.
The cost for attendance is $150 / per attendee for the 6hr training. Payments can be mailed
via check or made in cash to the ODOT front counter (1980 West Broad Street, Columbus
OH – Contracts). User guides will be provided for the training. Checks should be made
payable to Treasurer, State of Ohio. Mailed to Ohio Department of Transportation, 1980
West Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 43223 – Mail Stop #4110. Please include the purpose of
the payment if mailed.
Interested parties should contact Janet Treadway, SiteManager Administrator at 614-4667514 or janet.treadway@dot.state.oh.us to register for session(s). You will need to have the
following information ready to register; name and email of person attending and session

Consultant Evaluation System
Scoring System Changes 2014
In response to a certain level of dissatisfaction with the current 10-8-5-1 rating scale used in the
Department’s Consultant Evaluation System (CES), a change to a 1-10 rating scale is now
ready to be implemented, along with changes to login procedures for ODOT users. The new 110 rating scale will be implemented by setting a fixed implementation date in the CES system.
All agreements that have a “Consultant Evaluation Complete” date prior to the implementation
date will retain the existing 10-8-5-1 rating scale. Agreements that do not have a “Consultant
Evaluation Complete” date entered on the implementation date will use the new 1-10 rating
scale. A meeting to explain the new system and implementation plan will be held on June 11,
2014 as noted below.
A complete summary of the changes is available on the Consultant Services page of ODOT’s
website under the heading “CES Scoring Update 2014”, or the following address:

Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System Workshop - May 5th
In order to provide more information on innovative bridge replacement techniques the Ohio
LTAP Center in coordination with ODOT's Office of Local Programs and the Federal Highway
Administration are pleased to present this half day seminar on "Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil
Integrated Bridge Systems". Registration is available for in-person or webinar attendance.
Instead of conventional bridge support technology, Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS)
Integrated Bridge System (IBS) technology uses alternating layers of compacted granular fill
material and geosynthetic reinforcement to provide support for the bridge. GRS provides a
smooth transition from the bridge onto the roadway, and alleviates the "bump at the bridge"
problem caused by uneven settlement between the bridge and approaching roadway.
Please complete the form at the link below to register for the upcoming training event. Space is
limited, so register today!

New SMS Launch Date
Structure Management System (SMS) stakeholders:
After discussions with the developers and ODOT staff, ODOT has made the decision to launch
the new SMS in production mode “GO LIVE” the week of May 12, 2014.
The current Bridge Management System (BMS) will be switched to ‘read-only’ mode on April 3,
2014. Therefore data in the BMS will not get updated after switching to read-only mode. Any
unapproved inspection reports or changes to inspection or inventory data must be submitted or
made prior to April 2, 2014 in the current BMS or wait until after the new SMS goes live.
SMS Training:
 The Office of Structural Engineering will continue to provide open labs and will make
video tutorials available.
 Manuals, in development, will be imbedded into the SMS.
 Future Bridge Inspection Training, also in development, will incorporate changes
associated with SMS and Element Level Inspections.
For further information regarding the SMS transition, logging into the test-site, software &
hardware requirements, URL of SMS in production mode and any future announcements,
please refer to the following web page:
http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Engineering/Structures/Pages/Structure-ManagementSystem.aspx
I want to thank all those that helped in the design, development, and testing of the new SMS
system. This truly has been a team effort. Thank you for your patience during the development
of ODOT SMS.

Notice of Soils And Aggregate Inspectors Certification Programs
The Department has added the NorthEast Transportation Technician Certification Program’s
(NETTCP) Soils And Aggregate Inspector Certification to be an acceptable credential for
nuclear density gauge operators (Supplement 1121). This certification is an alternative to the
currently accepted
certifications provided by the National Institute for Certification in
Engineering Technologies (NICET). Certification is a prerequisite to becoming an ODOT
Prequalified Soil And Aggregate Inspector which allows them to work as soils technicians on
ODOT and federally funded LPA projects.
The NETTCP and the Independent Laboratories Institute (ILI) have partnered to provide an
ODOT accepted training and certification program for Soils and Aggregate Inspectors. NETTCP
is an FHWA recognized agency currently providing transportation technician training and
certification in seven Northeastern states, and will conduct the actual training and testing
activities in Ohio. ILI is the education and training foundation of the American Council of
Independent Laboratories (ACIL), and will provide course logistics and coordination.
Courses are planned in the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo areas during the first
several months of 2014 and will be scheduled based upon response to this announcement. The
course includes 2 days of instruction followed by a half day exam with both written and
performance tests, and has an approximate 75% historical pass rate. Fees are $635 for ACIL
members and $865 for non-members. A host laboratory is needed for the performance exam,
which will receive one courtesy registration for their assistance. Passing candidates will receive
a five year certification that includes a photo ID.
Please contact Steve Bowser at sbowser@bowser-morner.com for details or to provide an
estimated number of registrants for each location. Courses will be scheduled after receipt of a
minimum 8 candidate commitments per location. Information on the course (outline, exam, etc.)
can be found on the NETTCP website (www.nettcp.com) . On the home page click on
“Certification Courses” and you will find the “Soils and Aggregate Inspector Course”.
