Scan the notes (or convert electronic files) and gather them into a single PDF file. Create separate PDF files for each bridge. In the case of a single design done for twin structures, each unique NBI shall contain a copy of the design notes titled as described below in the Naming Convention section.

A copy of computer software input files is not required. Copies of computer software output should be included with the following:

Input echo
Key pages of output, annotated by hand if necessary, such that the design's outcome, including controlling load case and limit state, can be understood by review of the output annotation.
Key pages of output, annotated by hand if necessary, demonstrating that other load cases and limit states do not control the outcome of the design.

Include the following design elements in the PDF file, as applicable:

Calculations, design assumptions, and other documentation establishing that the bridge’s superstructure design satisfies controlling load cases and limit states, for the following elements:
Girders or beams
Stringers
Floor beams
Trusses, including secondary elements such as bracing and gusset plates
Arches and hangers, including secondary elements such as bracing and gusset plates
Cable stays
Other elements not specifically excluded
Calculations, design assumptions, and other documentation establishing that the bridge’s substructure design satisfies controlling load cases and limit states, for the following elements:
Cap beams
Columns, Towers, and Pylons
Other elements not specifically excluded
Calculations, design assumptions, and other documentation establishing that the bridge’s foundation design satisfies design requirements, for the following elements:
Piling
Drilled shafts
Spread footings
Other elements not specifically excluded
Calculations, design assumptions, and other documentation establishing the bridge’s load rating.
Completed TxDOT Quality Control Cover Sheet from the Quality Control and Quality Assurance Guide. Consultant Designers are allowed to use their own cover sheet if it is similar to the TxDOT Quality Control Cover Sheet.
Bridge layout at the time of the original design
Communication directly related to the included elements
Do not include bridge geometry runs (BGS, spreadsheets, etc).
