DOT officials explain the standard timeline and process for capital projects in response to Council Member Ossé's concerns about efficiency. The discussion covers the various stages involved in project implementation and the reasons for the lengthy timeline.
- Standard timeline for capital projects is about six years from concept to completion
- Process involves multiple stages: idea conception, design, presentation, bidding, and construction
- Procurement process and design phase contribute significantly to the timeline
- DOT often works with the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) on these projects

2:19:26

2:19:30
What is the Commissioner, what work have you been doing over the past four years to condense that that period of time for when a project comes into completion?
