	[[:Category:130 Value Engineering\|Value Engineering (VE)]] is a systematic, organized approach to obtain the best value for each dollar spent. It is the application of recognized techniques to identify the function of a product or service, establish the value of that function, and then to provide that function at the lowest actual cost. Ideas that merely cost less initially, but add to the future costs of maintenance and operations, are usually unacceptable.

	VE is a provision of [http://www.modot.org/business/standards_and_specs/SpecbookEPG.pdf#page=4 Sec 104.6] that provides contractors with a monetary incentive to participate in these cost saving techniques. MoDOT personnel should be knowledgeable of this provision and encourage contractor participation.

	The Resident Engineer should encourage submittal of VE concepts from the contractor throughout the life of the project.
