Adding a Prime Project

A prime project generally represents all work to be performed under a single federal project number. This work is subdivided into projects. Each project represents a logical portion of the prime project. For example, one project might contain all of the bid items, another preliminary engineering and rights-of-way, and another non-biddable construction work such as force accounts.

To create a new prime project, select Add from the Actions menu on the Prime Project Overview component header.

On the Add Prime Project component, you can enter information in these fields:

• Prime Project ID

• Project Location

• Federal Project Number

• State Project Number

• Road Name

• Federal Appropriation Code 1

• Federal Appropriation Code 2

• Federal Appropriation Code 3

Entry in the Prime Project ID field is required in order to save the new prime project. When you are finished adding information, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database. The new prime project is displayed on the Prime Project Summary component. For more information, see Changing a Prime Project.
