4.0 REFERENCES
The following are the principal, but by no means the only, references to Federal legislation, regulation
and guidance with which the PMOC should have a good understanding as related to the Grantee’s
project work being reviewed under this OP: The references in OP 1 apply.
5.0 PROJECT SPONSOR SUBMITTALS
TBD
6.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The PMOC shall document lessons learned in the following manner:
1) At the start of each project phase (preliminary engineering, final design, etc.) the PMOC should
create the framework for the Lessons Learned list. As difficult project events occur, insert
potential lessons into the framework for tracking. As the project develops, review these lessons
with the Grantee and FTA staff.
2) Draft a Lessons Learned report, obtain Grantee’s comments and approval on the report, then
submit it to FTA for review, approval, and posting to the website.
7.0 REPORT, PRESENTATION, RECONCILIATION
The PMOC shall provide FTA with written Lessons Learned reports. If a report content requires more
than one page, a one page executive summary shall be provided. Individual lessons should be
descriptively titled to allow the reader to understand the lesson content through the title alone. The
lessons should be succinctly written. A Lessons Learned report on a particular project may include
one or more lesson, and may or may not include project background information, at the discretion of
the PMOC.
