Consultant Services
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) uses consultant engineering services as an integral part in accomplishing the department’s goals to provide a safe and efficient transportation system in Idaho. The consultant work force is considered an extension of the Highway Division performing the same tasks and procedures as ITD personnel.
It is the responsibility of the Consultant Services Section to provide assurance of compliance by monitoring transactions and procedures relating to consultants performing professional engineering services. All professional services agreements for project development and highway improvements connected to a highway project must be processed through the Consultant Services Section.
- All currently scheduled highway projects are listed on the Idaho Transportation Investment Program (ITIP).
Consultants are utilized by selection from the pre-approved list of consultants (See “Term Agreement Qualifications & Consultant List” below), or through individual project solicitation.

OVERHEAD RATE POLICY
All consultants must establish an overhead rate for use on professional services agreements, or, at the discretion of the Department, establish a billing rate if they are a small firm. Once an overhead rate has been established, it must be updated on a yearly basis. For additional information regarding requirements on establishing overhead rates, please refer to the Overhead Rate Policy located in Consultant Services Policies.
CERTIFIED HOURLY WAGE RATE REQUIREMENTS
A current certified hourly wage rate schedule must be maintained on file with the Department, and has to meet the reasonableness and fairness criteria. Certified Hourly Wage Rates should follow the approved format (located in Consultant Services Forms and Documents), and must be provided in .pdf file format by e-mail to ConsultantAdminUnit@itd.idaho.gov . The file name shall be the company name followed by the month and year (ConsultantName02/05). It is recommended that a copy of the certified wage rate schedule be included with all cost estimates submitted for each negotiated contract.
COST ESTIMATE SUMMARY
The Consultant Services Section has developed a Cost Estimate Summary Form which will be required for all agreements. It should be submitted along with the negotiated man-hour estimate and scope of work by both the prime consultant and each subconsultant. That form is located in Consultant Services Forms and Documents.
DIRECT EXPENSES
Direct expenses will be reimbursed at actual cost. No markup is allowed.
TRAVEL EXPENSE AND PER DIEM POLICY
The Department has a Travel Expense and Per Diem Policy. This policy applies to all consultant agreements. Please check this site for updates to all policies throughout the year. This policy is located in Consultant Services Policies.
SUBCONSULTANTS
In order to work as a subconsultant on a Work Task under the Term Agreement, the subconsultant must be on the Term Agreement for the category of service they will be providing as a subconsultant.
CADD SPECIFICATIONS
Refer to the CADD Manual for a complete set of the CADD Specifications.
ESTIMATION INFORMATION
The Idaho Transportation Department has adopted the AASHTOWare Project Estimation as the standard for developing all highway construction cost estimates. All consulting engineers who perform work for the Department and prepare PS&E packages (Plans, Specifications and Estimate) for submittal to the Department on highway construction projects are required to use Estimation.
ITD is providing access to the AASHTOWare Project Estimation module at no cost to the consultant. The previous Estimator application has been replaced with the new Estimation system. We will still accept Estimator files for upload until March of 2023. Please use the new system for any new estimates going forward. Please contact your ITD Liaison to request access to the new Estimation system from AASHTOWare Project Suite administrator.
ESTIMATION SPECIFICATIONS
The following specifications apply for all estimates prepared and delivered to the Idaho Transportation Department on highway construction projects:
- File Format and Delivery
The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has adopted the AASHTOWare Project Estimation application as the standard for developing highway construction cost estimates.
Estimates shall be delivered to the ITD in two formats (generated from ESTIMATION). A hard copy of the Final Estimate or an electronic ESTIMATION file saved on an acceptable format. - File Naming
Electronic files shall be named using the project’s Key Number with the file extension .pdf. An example of a file name is 04782.pdf.
