Once my product evaluation is complete and it is found acceptable for use by NJDOT, does that mean it is approved and will immediately be implemented into upcoming projects?
No. The NTP evaluation process only determines if the product is found acceptable for future implementation on NJDOT projects. This is not to be confused with an approval. Before any product can be used on any NJDOT project, a standard specification, construction detail or design guideline must exist for it. Products that have been accepted by NJDOT still require these guideline documents to be developed and accepted. This is done through a baseline document change (BDC) that must be issued by NJDOT Configuration Management. This process can take up to one year to complete, depending on the complexity of the changes involved.
