Presentation of Documents

All inspection results submitted to the District Bridge Inspection Coordinator shall be submitted via AssetWise. Consultant inspectors shall provide the State with the following list of structures, as a Microsoft Excel file, updated with each submittal, and a cumulative version at the end of each work authorization. The State will not accept Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Consultant inspectors report this information to the State in the Excel spreadsheet titled “Lists of Structures” which is provided by the State. Off-System bridges must be grouped by local jurisdiction.
  • List of bridges recommended for NSTM or underwater inspections
    . This list shall include bridges to be added to the State’s current NSTM and underwater lists. Structures already coded for these types of inspections shall not be included in this list. The inspector includes a photo of components that require the NSTM or underwater inspection. The list must include a brief comment describing the NSTM to be inspected. For structures that require an underwater inspection, the Engineer shall provide the depth of water at the component(s) requiring a diving inspection. Photographs shall be appended to the list using a format similar to that described in Section 3 under Bridge Inspection Photographs.
  • List of bridges with missing scour documentation or recommended coding changes for NBI Items 113, 113.1, and 113.2 [SNBI B.C.11 and B.AP.04]
    . This list includes structures with: (1) scour documentation that needs to be reevaluated because of changes of site conditions (e.g., improvement, repair, degradation); or (2) missing scour documents, improper documents; or (3) Scour coding that needs to be changed/corrected.
  • List of bridges needing plan sheets
    . This list includes bridges that have no plans in their folders or are missing important sheets such as a title sheet, layout, detail sheet, or other sheets that document year built, design load, widenings, or other essential items. The Engineer shall provide the year of construction, Control-Section-Job Number, and a brief description of sheets or plan sets that are needed. The goal is to document geometry, design load, and elemental quantities. For culverts that do not have layout sheets available, the Engineer shall substitute the Plan and Profile Sheet.
  • A list of all recommended changes in vertical clearance signs
    . (off-system only) For each proposed sign change, the inspector provides the existing signed clearance, the minimum measured clearance, and the clearance for the proposed sign.
  • A list of bridges with missing or inaccurate coordinates
    . Coordinates must be reported to TxDOT in decimal-degree format, carried out to eight places. Proposed coordinates shall be reported to the State’s District Bridge Inspection Coordinator.
  • List of bridges with delayed inspections
    . This list includes bridges whose inspection occurred after the inspection due date, due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather, scheduling, construction, etc. This list must identify the previous inspection date, current inspection date and the reason for the delayed inspection.
