The Production department is accountable for delivering contract plans from the planning stage to the construction stage. After completion of a field review, the project is given to Production for contract plan development. Depending upon schedule, work load and complexity, it is determined whether the plans should be performed internally by Production or externally via a consultant under contract to ODOT. In addition, Production assists Planning with preliminary design and Highway Management with technical assistance during construction activities and maintenance work.

This can include activities in any of the following major areas of responsibility:

The Plan Design and Review section administers contracts for the Department's design consultants and is responsible for completing construction plans for various types of roadway and bridge projects.

Survey gathers and sets alignment information and provides the In-House Design Section with full topographic surveys.

The Real Estate section is comprised of the utility relocation coordination and right-of-way sections. It also includes property acquisition for a project, property appraisal, purchase, and may include legal proceedings.
