This would also apply to assumptions made for post-NEPA approvals, such as Section 404 permits, approvals from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as well as others. Although VE decisions may negatively impact environmental or public hearing agreements, these decisions may be made provided the time, cost and effort for the supplemental studies or hearings should be considered.

	* '''Value Focused Risk Assessment.''' Risk assessments approached from the perspective of identifying opportunities to improve the value of the project are an acceptable form of value analysis. After determining the functions of the project, the project risks are considered and documented in accordance with [[:Category:149 Project Delivery ~~Method~~ Determination and Risk Assessment#149.5 Risk Assessment\|EPG 149.5 Risk Assessment]]. When developing strategies to avoid, minimize or mitigate the project risks, consideration should be given to alternative approaches which will meet the functions of the project while decreasing or eliminating areas of risk. A risk assessment report should be generated and properly documented.		* '''Value Focused Risk Assessment.'''

	* '''Programmatic Value Studies.''' This programmatic study type is used when studying entire programs for consideration of process and program value improvement. The functional perspective and associated alternatives are considered in the development or review of the guidelines in order to have projects within the program that are of the greatest value. The emphasis is placed on the improving the guidance that will be subsequently used for project development. The high level study should focus on the function of the program more than the individual projects. The study could be conducted in a traditional manner or based upon the compressed study type. The study length will likely be less than 1 day.		* '''Programmatic Value Studies.'''

	VE studies are performed to add value to a project, not to simply reduce costs. VE studies should challenge project scoped that exceed the minimum necessary to deliver the project’s purpose and need. As stated in the law, VE studies are conducted "to provide suggestions for reducing the total cost of the project and providing a project of equal or better quality."

As stated in the law, VE studies are conducted "to provide suggestions for reducing the total cost of the project and providing a project of equal or better quality."

	Although only a single study during preliminary design is generally required for a project, VE studies can be performed any time prior to letting or after award, and even multiple times on an individual project. A study can be conducted at any stage during the design life of the project; however, priority is given to performing the study as early as feasible to maximize the opportunity to implement developed alternatives. During the study, all aspects of the project may be considered including, but not limited to, location, geometrics, final vertical and horizontal alignments, drainage, construction staging, traffic control, and signalization, pavement and structure details. In addition, studies in the later phase should consider what additional flexibility can be added and what adjustments can be made to "fine tune" the project prior to letting.

	Additional VE analysis should be considered if, during a project’s design, the scope of work is changed significantly from that which was studied previously. In addition, consideration should be given to an additional study if the previous study will have been conducted more than 10 years prior to the projects letting.

Design consultants may also be invited to the PAVE workshop.

	The PAVE workshop report and recommendations are conveyed to the district and Central Office staff in a timely manner after the workshop to ensure adequate time for design changes. The district and/or contractor should respond to the PAVE workshop recommendations within 15 business days. All routine internal costs incurred by MoDOT to review and implement approved VECPs and PDVECPs will be at the Commission’s expense. Major redesign costs, and design/review costs of any amount charged by a consultant to the Commission, will be deducted from the gross savings. Approved and rejected VECPs and PDVECPs are tracked by Construction and Materials Division.
