TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• Engineering work products recommended to be
  stamped.
• Hydraulic Analysis
• Linear Soils Survey Recommendations
• Bridge Soil Boring Recommendations
• Design Exceptions/Decision Documents
• Bridge Design Plans
• Roadway Design Plans

6
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• Engineering work products recommended to be
  stamped.
• Surface Thickness Recommendations
• Standard Drawings
• Standard/Supplemental Specs
• Change Orders (when required)
• See Web Site. When in doubt call the Registrant.
• Shop Drawings (when required)
• Only those drawings for which the Contractor has
  to do engineering calculations i.e. light and
  signal standards.
• Special Provisions (when required)
• Plats (by Registered Land Surveyor)

7
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• That any engineering work products not finalized
  prior to December 1, 2004 will be stamped.
• Seal each sheet of plans except, Cross-Sections,
  Table of Contents, Pit plats, Quantity sheets,
  and Haul Road Restrictions. That each section of
  plans is stamped by designer or direct supervisor
  and that the Assistant/Program Manager stamp
  title sheet as coordinator.

8
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• That each district have one PE (preferable two)
  who will need to be in direct supervision of
  construction oversight.
• That the original engineering work product(s)
  will be paper and stored as the original, until
  archived, than the archived version is the
  original and the paper can be destroyed.

9
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• Electronic seals may be used on plans only. All
  other engineering work products, which are
  sealed, will be a rubber or crimp stamp.
• The rules state that electronic seals may not be
  used in any document that is being transmitted in
  an editable digital format. Using the rubber or
  crimp stamp gives us the ability to store many
  documents in Filenet and transmit them
  electronically.

10
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• That the direct supervisor or person in
  responsible charge developing the engineering
  work product(s) must be registered.

11
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• That all changes will be made by a registered
  engineer.
• Those changes that change the functional design
  requirements will be stamped, by the original
  stampee or that person assigned by the NDDOT when
  original stamper is not able
• That construction phase revisions (changes) made
  to the plans that do not change the functional
  design requirements, will be stamped by a duly
  registered individual who is in direct
  supervision or in responsible charge.
• Those changes that do not change the plans or do
  not change the functional design requirements
  will not be stamped. (i.e. time extensions, etc.)

12
TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS (Continued)

• That the following changes be made immediately.
• The standard details that are continuously used
  in our plans be made standard drawings wherever
  practical.

BLACK BOX SYNDROME

• What is the Black Box Syndrome?
• Bad data in, yields bad information out.
• Information needs to be reviewed to make sure
  information is correct.
• Some information needs to be studied visually
  (Plots of Plan View and Cross Sections)
