Certifications and Findings In the Public Interest (FIPI)
CertificationsThe Certification Process requires that the Residency Engineer (for project specific), Program Engineer (for regionwide use), or Branch Manager (for statewide use) prepare documentation that shows (1) that no equally suitable alternative exists; or (2) that the item is essential for synchronization with existing transportation facilities. Once the documentation is complete, it shall be submitted to the Standards and Specifications Engineer for certification approval. See Design Bulletin 2014-11 for further clarification. |

Findings In the Public InterestFinding in the Public Interest will require that the Residency Engineer (for projectspecific), Program Engineer (for regionwide use), or Branch Manager (for statewide use) prepare and submit documentation (1) that no other products exist that meet CDOT requirements as an “approved equal” by being tested and proved in the field; or (2) that such patented or proprietary item is used for research or will be used for a distinctive type of construction on relatively short sections of road for experimental purposes. Once submitted, the FIPI documentation requires written approval by CDOT (for a specific project), or by the FHWA (if the FHWA determines that the project is a “Project of Division Interest [PODI]”, and for region- wide and statewide products). Additionally, when research is used as the justification for using a proprietary item it must be processed through the Research Branch of the Division of Transportation Development. See Design Bulletin 2014-11 for further clarification. |
