Description A study was conducted to evaluate the costs incurred in Utah Department of Transportation's projects due to utility relocations. Projects starting after November 14, 2012 and closed out by October 31, 2016 were evaluated, resulting in a total of 415 projects. The data included 396 design-bid-build projects, 13 CM/GC projects, 4 design-build projects, and 2 other projects (which were emergency repair projects). Out of the 415 projects, 99 of them had utilities. Out of those with utility cost overruns, the average percentage overrun was 22.9%. A random sample of 10 projects that had utilities and were over budget was selected for further analysis and compared to a random sample of projects that were under budget and a random sample of projects with no utilities. The analysis resulted in recommendations for changes including consistency in data collection. Specific accounting changes are discussed in the report.
