Fund Package Overview

Last updated: 2022-01-05

Funding information for all WisDOT project categories is located in FIIPS. The funding sources, priorities, percentages, and limits assigned to each category in FIIPS are equivalent to the fund package assigned to each category in Preconstruction. The WisDOT project manager should provide this information for the project. This component allows the designer to create fund packages for their project.

Funding rules:

  • Every category must be funded.
  • Every priority within a fund package must have a participation percent totaling 100%.
  • If a limit is set, an additional priority is required that must have a participation percent totaling 100%.

Every category with a unique set of funding sources, priorities, percentages, and limits in FIIPS will have a unique fund package in Preconstruction. Categories with the same funding can use the same fund package.

Designers can use pre-defined WisDOT fund packages or create unique user-defined fund packages. All fund packages must match the category funding identified in FIIPs. A project can use all pre-defined, all user-defined, or a combination of fund packages.

There are five pre-defined WisDOT fund packages that designers can use on their projects. These were created for the most common project funding scenarios.

Fund Package ID Description
F100 100% Federal

F50S50

 50% Fed and 50% State
F80S20 80% Fed and 20% State
F90S10 90% Fed and 10% State
S100 100% State
