Purpose
This website is dedicated to providing support information to the CMS user community. CMS is the
Construction Management System software created for statewide ODOT use and maintained by the
Division of Information Technology by direction of the Office of Construction Administration in the Division of
Construction Management.
History
CMS was implemented in 1993 to replace the old Construction
Estimates (CE) system which processed estimates for state projects. CMS was the
first large system that made use of PCs, client-server software, and LANs/WANs.
Projects are loaded from AASHTO's Trns*port (formerly known as BAMS) into CMS
and then the daily construction activities are recorded online. The system
generates estimates on request and passes that information onto Accounting. CMS
has two major subsystems: Construction Administration Subsystem (CAS) and
Testing Administration Subsystem (TAS). The following gives a brief description
of CAS and TAS.
Construction Administration Subsystem (CAS) - manages
projects from award to finalization keeping track of contract information and
contractor payments. Data is captured and stored for the following major areas:
daily diary, project reference detail, estimates, change orders, cost analysis,
finalization, contractor/subcontractor, project monitoring, and construction
monitoring.
Testing Administration Subsystem (TAS) - manages the
testing of materials that go into a highway improvement project. Data is
captured and stored for the following major areas: materials,
producer/suppliers, welder/technicians, job mix formulas, project/PO, material
assignments, and material sampling & testing. In addition, the TE-24 has been
automated allowing suppliers to enter their own information.
