6.2.3 Engineering Review Checklist

The
PS&E QC Milestone Checklist
should be used to review and document all milestone submittals:
  • Initial (30%);
  • Preliminary Bridge Layout Review (PBLR);
  • Detailed (60%);
  • Final (90/95%);
  • Sealed – (100% submission to the District); and
  • RTL – (100% submission to DES-FPP).
At a minimum, the documentation for the last engineering review must be retained until replaced by an updated review. Final engineering reviews must be retained as part of the final project documentation.
During the review process for all projects, these items should be checked and/or verified:
  • Previous approval of:
    • Typical sections;
    • Geometrics;
    • Pavement design;
    • Design exceptions, waivers, variances, deviations;
    • Bridge layouts (PBLR);
    • Traffic Control Plans; and
    • Hydraulic calculations.
  • All required agreements have been executed.
  • Clarity of information on plan sheets
    . Plan Sheets should be checked for clarity of information. All quantities should be checked item by item.
  • Use of correct bid codes and method of measurements
    . Estimate should be checked to make sure the correct bid codes and method of measurements are used. All quantities from the plan sheets should be reflected on the estimate. Estimated unit bid prices should reflect carefully determined prices using engineering judgement. Make sure measurements for “contractor information” are clearly labeled, non-pay items.
  • TxDOTCONNECT Estimate
    . Estimate must be sealed in TxDOTCONNECT. The proposal cannot be built if estimate is not sealed.
  • Specification List
    . Specification List should reflect the latest applicable special provisions, specifications and reference items.
  • General Notes for clarity, redundancy, and conflicts
    . General Notes should be reviewed for clarity, redundancy, and conflicts.
Refer to the
PS&E QC Milestone Checklist
for detailed information on engineering milestone reviews.
The PS&E QC Milestone Checklist, or other District approved checklist, should be completed and documented for each milestone review and retained in ProjectWise in the project record.
