Web delivery has saved UDOT $100,000 per year in printing costs, and contractors have realized even greater savings. The EPR has also helped enforce compliance with CADD standards.

The system creates a list of contractors who have downloaded plans or specifications, allowing subcontractors and material vendors to contact prime bidders. Also, having bidding information online has significantly broadened the base of contractors, subcontractors, and vendors able to take part in projects.

Finally, UDOT has added Project Wise to the EPR, allowing online delivery of MicroStation DGN files and civil design information to contractors on demand. ;
