WisDOT AASHTOWare Project™ (AWP)
Knowledge Base
Welcome to the WisDOT AASHTOWare Project™ Knowledge Base (AWPKB)
The knowledge base was developed for staff who use the AASHTOWare Project™ (AWP) web based application.
Designers use AWP Preconstruction to enter engineer's estimates and create proposals for PS&E submittal.
Construction staff administer use AWP Construction & Materials to track item quantities, create change orders,
track stockpiles, document construction progress and submit payment estimates.
Prime contractors and subcontractors enter employee certified payroll reports (CPRs) into AWP CRL Payroll.
New vendors register and existing vendor update their vendor information in the Vendor Registration System (VRS).
The AWPKB includes detailed documentation, training videos, and a frequently asked questions section for
AWP Preconstruction, AWP Construction & Materials, and the Vendor Registration System (VRS).
In the future, the site will provide additional guidance materials testing and reporting
and for the entry of payrolls for prime and subcontractors.
