Bentley ProjectWise
Is a software application that manages project
drawings and other project data; and facilitates project collaboration between
LA DOTD and consultant project team members. Consultants will be required to use
this software when specified in the contract. In some cases, consultants
may be required to upload or download project files via ProjectWise regardless
of any contract requirement.

ProjectWise Explorer is an ideal platform for managing drawing storage,
security, workflow, editing, viewing, searching, comparing and upload/download.
ProjectWise resolves many file management challenges. The
ProjectWise Explorer application is provided free of
charge for consultants working on LA DOTD projects. The Bentley Passport
