Policy on New Product Evaluation at Connecticut DOT

CTDOT shall through research assure that new and innovative materials, products, and processes, which offer cost-effective solutions to CTDOT needs or problems, are evaluated for merit. Product evaluation will involve collaborative efforts with industry and CTDOT. In this collaboration, an atmosphere of mutual respect is essential. Industry representatives shall be given equal opportunity to present their product or process. It is stressed, however, that CTDOT will not engage in product evaluation unless an adequately developed, screened, tested, and marketable product or process is offered.
