Advocated the moveto District Directors of Operations, District Traffic Operations Engineers, andExecutive Board. This led to establishing a statewide team to evaluate andrecommend changes to the Executive Board. We are establishing a BusinessPlan to allow FDOT to continue to progress in that dimension. I challenged mystaff to reduce average delay in Broward County by 10%, adjusted for trafficvolume. See my presentation at the Transpo2008 Conference.Hesham Ali, Ph.D., PE.Page-7-

District 4 was among the first districts to deploy ITS. Our ITS program continuesto be among the most advanced with real time performance measures. Seewww.smartsunguide.com. Advocated the use of Business Planning Approach to performance improvement.Used the Sterling Approach to develop a template for Business Plans. FDOTadopted the template statewide. Emphasized Construction Quality in D4.Led a campaign of site visits,presentations at the Quarterly Contractors meetings, revising CEI evaluationcriteria, development and implementation of new pavement smoothnessspecifications, this led to improved Maintenance Rating of Construction projectsfrom 80 to 90. Improved pavement ride quality of from a ride number of 3.7 to 3.9. Improved Construction performance measures. Delivered 500- 700 millionworth of projects annually. In the past, the district fell short of meeting its time andcost overrun measures and trailed other districts. According to the 2008 FloridaTransportation Commission (FTC) report, District 4 met 3 of the 4 FTC measures;and was within the statewide average in the forth measure. The district had aboveaverage results. The measures are: Percent of money spent within budget (targetis 90%), percent of time within budget (target is 90%), percent of projects withintime (target is 80%) and percent of projects within budget (target is 90%). 2008 Leadership and Human Resource Survey showed District 4 OperationsDivision to have the highest scores in the state among Operations Divisions. Thesurvey had a 75% participation rate, is a confidential pull of employees that scoresleadership and employee satisfaction. According to the Florida Tax Watch, District 4 Operations is the largest recipient ofDavis Productivity Awards in Florida. The division received 27 awards of the 90awards received by FDOT. District 4 Materials Office is among the leading districts. Modernized the lab withnew computer acquisition systems, invested in the state of the art technologiessuch as the Laser Profiler, the Ground Penetrating Radar, the Falling WeightDeflectometer, the Pile Driving Analyzer, the Cross Sonic Log and others.Introduced new ways to measure performance, including Construction QualityIndex, Materials Quality Index. Improved maintenance standards to MRP of 86 from MRP of 81 without additionalfunding. MRP, is a maintenance rating program that quantifies maintenancestandards in several areas, including pavement condition, traffic signs and striping,aesthetics and vegetation, and drainage performance.

Advocated Asset Management approach to efficient maintenance. Wrote articlesin Perspective on Excellence FDOT publication, hosted NHI classes andpurchased software to enable GIS tracking of assets and development of routinemaintenance based on asset conditions and expected deterioration. AssetManagement is taking hold in all Operations Centers and becoming mainstream. Led the District Emergency Management efforts. This included preparation effortsprior to storms then responding to emergencies during storms and restoringdamage after the storms. The district responded to restoration efforts forHurricanes Francis and Jeanne [ 100 million of damage], Hurricane Wilma [170million of damage] and several tropical storms.
