QC Review Elements – Consulting Firm QC Program and Efforts
There is currently no defined format for a Consulting Firm’s QC Program. The bridge inspection contract Scope of Services for Routine, NSTM, and UW inspections requires that all Consulting Firms contracted to perform bridge inspections for TxDOT have a QC Program defining internal procedures to ensure that the deliverables submitted to TxDOT by the Prime and Sub-Consultants are of high quality. These internal procedures are to be written into a plan which is to be submitted to the Bridge Division Program Manager prior to initiating work. The Consulting Firm’s QC Program may be reviewed by TxDOT Bridge Division personnel on a random basis.
