Why does WSDOT have an in-plant printing function?
The Department of Transportation’s printing department’s primary responsibility is to the printing and assembly of contract plans and special provisions for the scheduled construction projects. WSDOT printing staff is very familiar with the format and content of contract plans and specials provisions; therefore, they act as a quality control for WSDOT contracts. Printing Services also serves as the distribution and order tracking facility for all construction project documents. In addition to the contract documents Printing Services produces legislative and budget documents, technical manuals, training and communication material and other transportation related material in support of WSDOT’s mission.
