VDOT Providing Temporary Relief on CEI Vehicles
VTCA has been in conversation with the VDOT Construction Division regarding IIM-CD-2017-02.01 and the concern on the shortage and costs of trucks in these unprecedented times. VTCA has asked for relief on (1) the 5-yr limit, (2) the reimbursement rates, as well as (3) the flexibility to use SUVs in lieu of trucks, for a “right size approach” per assignment. VDOT understands the hardships that Industry is enduring and is willing (in the interim) to discuss items #1 and #3 on a project-by-project basis. VTCA members can contact their respective District Construction Engineers and/or Ben Coaker of VDOT (ben.coaker@vdot.virginia.gov, 804-371-0661) with their proposal in providing VDOT with the best trucks possible. VTCA and VDOT will continue to discuss potential rate adjustments over the coming months.
