Verify the bridge inspection firms’ Project Managers and individual Team Leaders against the list of Approved Team Leaders provided by the Bridge Inspection Branch of the Bridge Division.

Periodically visit the firms’ inspection teams in the field to verify team composition and to observe actual inspections during the Work Authorization.

Refer to Section 3 “Quality Control” of Chapter 9 of this manual for quality control requirements and procedures that must be followed by the district.

The district should monitor the progression of work and budget to ensure that there are sufficient funds in the work authorization for any new structures that need to be inventoried, bridges needing unforeseen load ratings, etc.

If additional funds or time is needed to complete the Work Authorization, a request for a Supplemental Agreement must be made to the Bridge Inspection Branch of the Bridge Division at least 2 months before the termination of the initial Work Authorization.
