6.2.1 District Review of PS&E
The PS&E milestone reviews for all projects has been delegated to the Districts. The District is responsible for ensuring that projects submitted for letting are complete and in compliance with state law and departmental policies, and that all necessary agreements have been executed.
Division personnel are available to provide assistance and expertise to the Districts throughout the preliminary and final design process. At the request of the District, the DES and BRG Divisions are available to conduct a review of preliminary documents at the Initial(30%), Detailed(60%), Final (90/95%) or Sealed(100%) milestones.
All projects should undergo a thorough District review at specific milestones. Suggested milestone submittals are defined in
.
Submittal 1 | Description | Deliverables 2 | TxDOT Review Responsibility |
Initial (30)% 3 | Preliminary Engineering Submittal | 100% Approved Geometric Schematic or 30% PS&E milestone |
|
Detailed (60%) | Detailed Design Submittal | 60% PS&E milestone and Supporting Documents |
|
Final (90%/95%) | Final Design Submittal | 90/95% PS&E milestone and Supporting Documents |
|
Sealed (100%) | Signed and Sealed Submittal to District | 100% PS&E milestone (SSD) and Supporting Documents |
|
Ready to Let (RTL) | Project Letting Submittal to DES | 100% milestone (SSD) Supporting Documents, and Letting Documents |
|
Notes: 1. Districts may choose to eliminate or combine milestone submittals as needed based on the project rigor. 2. Refer to the
for deliverable expectation at milestone submittals. 3. Initial (30%) milestone submittal roadway components can be delivered in plan sheets or in a roll plot for review. | |||
Districts should perform a multi-disciplinary review of all project plans early in project development. Ideally this would take place at each milestone submittal, but at minimum should take place at the Detailed (60%) and Final (90/95%) milestone submittal. Early engagement leads to fewer changes at the latter stages of project development saving time and money.
