1.0 ADMINISTRATION 1.1. Introduction


Description of Project The project comprises construction inspection and engineering supervision of a number of construction Contracts including road widenings, new roads, interchanges, expressway standard roads, bridges, parking structures, and pedestrian underpasses in and around the Municipality of Abu Dhabi. Operations Plan The Operations Plan follows the outline in the Company Quality Assurance Manual and is an update of the original plan prepared at the beginning of the TRIP program in 1980. This plan incorporates the several policy and procedure memos written and distributed since the initial plan went into effect. These memos were done to keep abreast of changing conditions over time and have been the guiding policy and procedure statements as an adjunct to the original plan in the form of a well-organized appendix. The updated plan will weave in the essence of these documents insofar as practicable; will give procedures for future updates; will continue the practice of using the appendix to elaborate on or modify the updated plan with cross referencing to the applicable parts of the base plan; will reflect the present project activity; will be as sensitive as possible to actual practices; will discard and revise any sections of the original plan not covered by memo and no longer applicable; will re-format to comply with the format given in the QA Manual. The Purpose of construction services to be performedThe Consultant is responsible on a continuing basis for the engineering supervision and construction inspection of the Program improvements as shown in Appendix I.1-1 and as described in the section on project description. The tasks consist of integral elements such as surveys, construction inspection, materials testing, shop drawing review, progress and schedule monitoring and review, as-built drawings review, and processing of interim and final payments as shown in Appendix I.1-2. All are aimed at assuring a quality of construction consistent with sound construction practices and to comply with the Contract documents and specifications so that the project is completed on time and within budget. Construction Manual The client assigned DCIL the task of preparing a construction manual which is in final draft form. Procedural items from that manual will be included in this operations plan and the manual itself will be a supporting document by reference.

1.2 Project Description


The projects now under construction include road widening projects, full interchanges, bridges, parking structures, and pedestrian underpasses. Future construction projects now under design and which are anticipated to be tendered and awarded in the future will include similar works. Appendix I.2-1 shows all of the projects under construction or already constructed since the inception of the program in 1980. These consist of local and access roads involving palaces and government institutions, the Maqta Bridge, interchanges and ramps for future interchanges, realigning the Corniche Road, multi-storied parking structures, right turn lanes and channelization along the main roads, traffic signal system, etc. All of these road improvements are within the Municipality of Abu Dhabi. A number of TRIP Projects are awaiting construction commencement, others are awaiting tendering authorization or final approval of the completed design; all such Projects will presumably have construction contracts eventually awarded. Design has been authorized and is in various stages of progress or it is completed for the following projects: Contract 10, Corniche Road - North (realignment) Contract 66C, Parking Structure in Sector E5 Contract 66D(R), Multi-Storey Parking Structure in Sector W5 Contract 66I, Multi-Storey Parking Structure in Sector E-8 Contract 964, Pedestrian Crossings under Main Roads Contract 967( R ), Tunnel at Sea Palace Access Contract 968, Bridge Interchange at IP-111 Contract 978, Bridge Interchange at IP-111A Contract 980, Umm Al Nar Bridge Interchange Contract 981, MIP-3 Bridge Interchange - Mussafah Road Contract 982, MIP-76 Bridge Interchange - Mussafah Road Contract 987, Breakwater Rehabilitation and Improvements Contract 988, CCTV System Additional Work AW30, Al Bateen Palace Roadworks

2.0 CONTROL OF THE WORK 2.1 Client Interface


Delegation of Authority from Client The authority given to the Consultant comes by way of the original agreement between Abu Dhabi Municipality and De Leuw, Cather. A copy of that portion of the agreement showing the scope of work and the delegation of authority is included in Appendix II.1-1. There have been four addenda since the original agreement. Addenda 1,2, and 3 simply amended one provision and added road projects to the Agreement with no change in authority or scope of services. Addendum 4 added parking garages and added the following positions to the ones already in the Agreement. Mechanical Engineer Specialist Electrical Engineer Specialist Architectural Engineer Specialist Structural Engineer Specialist Parking Structures Parking Structures Parking Structures Parking Structures

Client/Consultant Relationship The Municipality relies logically on the Resident Engineer as the key person on the construction supervision staff as indicated in the letter dated 20 March 1995 from Saeed Trais Al Mazroui (Re: RS/CONSULTANTS/95/401.) Appendix II.1-2. The Resident Engineer will thus be the main link between the Client and the Consultant - supported by central office and site staff. Working Interfaces - The interfaces operate on a counterpart basis as follows. Municipality: Saeed Trais Al Mazroui Asst. Undersecretary Abdulla Salem Al Katheeri Chief of Road Section Ali Al Aidarous Chief of Electrical and Mechanical Division Site Representatives De Leuw, Cather: Mahmud Khan Program Director Yingsak Pancom Project Director P.K.

These are the official connecting channels. There will be times when various levels of the Municipality will cross channels, and if so, each of the consultants staff has the obligation and the freedom to answer questions posed to them. Their obligation extends to immediately communicating the nature and content of the discussion to the appropriate staff member in light of the framework shown above. Client Instructions - Client instructions will be by written letters signed by the Assistant Undersecretary, Chief of Road Section, or other authorized persons. In the event instructions are issued verbally in lieu of written instructions, the Resident Engineer/Senior Resident Engineer should immediately initiate a letter confirming the verbal instructions of the Municipality prior to initiating any action. Confirmation letters shall follow the format as shown in Appendix II-1-3. In addition to the requirements as specifically identified in the Contract Documents, the Clients written directives issued from time to time during the execution of works shall be implemented in the execution of the works. The Appendices listed below include examples of the Municipalitys recent directives related to various construction activities.

2.2 Contractor Interface


Contractors Organization At this writing, 19 Contracts are under construction. Rather than include all 19 organizations, typical organization charts are shown in Appendix II.2-1 and a listing of Contractors is included in Appendix I.2-1. Contact with Contractor A regimented system must be maintained so that misunderstandings and conflicting viewpoints and interpretations can be avoided. Communications between the Engineer and the Contractor must be clear cut and without ambiguity. Conflicts and misunderstandings can cause delays to the schedule and unnecessary additional costs.

The Resident Engineer and his staff will be in daily contact with the staff of the Contractor as the work progresses. While probably informal in tone, the issues and problems discussed should be considered as if they are official and formal and where necessary included in one or more written instruments. The following communication procedures shall be observed by the Engineers and Contractors staffs. 1. Regular meetings shall be chaired by the Resident Engineer and attended by the Assistant Resident Engineer and the Contractors Project Manager and key staff. These meetings should be held at least monthly and usually more often than that at the discretion of the Resident Engineer. Typical areas of discussion: ---------progress quality standards and control schedule change orders resources conflicts utilities operating methods any other issue of mutual interest

The Resident Engineer will prepare an agenda to be distributed prior to the meeting and he will appoint one person to take the minutes. These will be distributed to the persons attending the meeting. 2. Inspectors will deal directly with the Contractors foreman on the job site. The Inspectors should never interpose themselves between the foreman and his crew and attempt to direct the Contractors operations. The Inspector will notify the Foreman of any discrepancies in quality and deviations from the Contract or specifications. He will have day-to-day dialogue with the Foreman of the construction operation the Inspector is assigned to. The Inspector must notify the ARE or Resident Engineer immediately of nonconformance. Assistant Resident Engineers will communicate with the foreman in the presence or with the knowledge of the Inspector. The AREs will maintain communication with the Contractors Project Manager consistent with the policy and concurrence of the Resident Engineer.

Resident Engineers are the ones authorized to issue official correspondence to the Contractor. These will be addressed to the Contractors Project Manager and will be signed by the Resident Engineer and the Project Director or Deputy Project Director. The Resident Engineer will meet with the Project Manager and discuss issues and make decisions related to the project on a routine frequency as necessary. The technical staff shall deal directly with the Contractor and have communications with key Contractor personnel only with the consent and knowledge and participation of the Resident Engineer or his designated representative from the project staff. From time-to-time site instructions may be issued depending on the urgency of a situation. The Resident Engineer or Assistant Resident Engineer with the concurrence of the Resident Engineer is authorized to issue site instructions. These will be followed by a formal letter from the Resident Engineer confirming the directions given in the site instruction as soon as possible.

Approval of Subcontracts - The Contractor may normally submit a list of subcontractors with his tender but this isnt a hard and fast rule. As a matter of precedence after the construction starts, the following steps have been established for subcontractor approval. It is understood that this program has been underway for 18 years so that most of the subcontractors are repeat performers. Thus the approval of subcontractors has become a routine matter. 1. The Contractor will submit a completed form to the Resident Engineer (see Appendix III.2-2) with the particulars of the subcontractor he wishes to have approved. The Contract may stipulate a maximum percentage of work that can be subcontracted. The Resident Engineer or whomever he assigns will review the documents submitted by the Contractor; check to make sure that contractual requirements will be met. If not, the subcontractor would be rejected out-of-hand. If the subcontractor is marginal in terms of qualifications, then the Resident Engineer should consult with the Senior Resident Engineer, Project Director, Contract Administrator, or the Deputy Project Director for construction. The subcontractor in some cases may be rejected, in others the Resident Engineer may request more information from the Contractor.

If the Resident Engineer has no objection to the subcontractor, he will forward to the Project Director, through the Deputy Project Director for construction, the recommendation for approval to be sent on with the Project Directors signature to the Municipality. If questions are raised by the Municipality then further discussions will be held until either the subcontractor is approved or rejected, or more information is requested from the Contractor. If approved by the Municipality, they will sign the form approved and return the document to the Consultant with a letter. The Resident Engineer would then send a letter to the Contractor approving the subcontractor.

5.

Schedule Approval The Resident Engineer is obligated to review and recommend the approval of the Contractors schedules. Refer to Appendix II.2-2 for the scheduling requirements of the Contract between the Contractor and the Municipality and a typical work program. The Resident Engineer and his staff will review the Contractors initial schedule and will analyze it on the basis of: ------------conformance to the Contract time for completion approvals for greenery (trees and grass) removal availability and time required for approval and procurement of materials construction staging plan detours and police approval utility work and accommodations of work by others labor, plant, and equipment resources critical path time scheduling and logical sequencing of activities weather and religious considerations mobilization and pre-construction activities clean-up and final inspection special circumstances involving the public

The Resident Engineer will comment and discuss the schedule with the Contractor until he is satisfied that it will work. He then will submit the schedule to the Project Directors office and will notify the Contractor in writing that the schedule is approved, once the Department has approved it. Shop Drawing Approval - Shop drawings, as defined in the Contract documents, shall include plans, details, fabrication methods, erection layouts, setting drawings, marking for erection, applied finishes, and sizes of all prefabricated members and fittings to be constructed, erected, or installed as

From these photos the Resident Engineer will select the ones for the monthly report. Utility Coordination - The Resident Engineer will, after discussion with the Deputy Project Director-Construction, arrange a pre-construction utility meeting between the Contractor and the various public agencies involved in the project. The intent of this meeting is to establish cooperation among all parties and to coordinate activities and schedules. During the meeting, the interested parties may be encouraged to communicate with each other directly for day-by-day general planning and implementation. It is the Resident Engineers responsibility to keep in regular touch with each of the concerned parties to be aware of progress and future plans. Site meetings with the relevant utility agencies shall be conducted monthly or as decided by the Resident Engineer in consultation with the Utility Coordinator. The meetings are to be documented and the minutes distributed. Utilities - Most of the TRIP construction projects are affected by utilities including the preservation of existing utilities and/or installation of new or relocated utility services. Existing utility locations shown on the project plans are approximate only. The exact location of existing utilities is determined as follows. Record Drawings - The Contractor is responsible for obtaining all available as-built or record drawings of existing utilities within the project limits from the appropriate government departments, utility agencies, and designated utility consultants. The Contractor should also request assistance in the field location of the services and discuss issues relating to safety, protection, and condition of the facilities. Shop Drawings - The Contractor will prepare shop drawings showing the existing utility locations relative to the proposed works. The first step in this procedure is to develop a grid or network of proposed hand excavation trenches as necessary to uncover all existing utilities shown on the record drawings. The grid will be submitted to the Resident Engineer for approval. Manual Excavation - Manual excavation of the approved trench locations is initiated by the Contractor in coordination with the various utility owners. Data information sheets are prepared for each trench that indicates the location of each utility by station and offset from the appropriate survey control line. Utility type, diameter, pipe material, and elevation are determined for each utility.

The inspector should ensure that the information is complete for each trench. He should direct modifications to the trench alignment, depth, or length as necessary to suit field conditions. Additional trenches may be authorized to provide enough data to accurately plot the existing utilities on drawings. The Contractor is responsible for the protection and safety of existing utilities throughout the project. The requirements for protection, relocation, and new services will be determined in coordination with the various utility departments using the completed existing utility shop drawings developed from the hand excavation as the basis for decision making. Service Reservations - The Contract drawings include identification of service reservations for accommodation of existing and proposed utilities. The Contractor will prepare service reservation shop drawings following an assessment of the existing utility locations, relocation requirements, and layout of proposed utilities. Modification to the reservations shown on the Contract drawings is often necessary to effectively accommodate a service facility. Revisions must be approved by the Town Planning Department and then copies of the approved shop drawings are distributed to all concerned Departments, Utility Agencies, and their consultants. Control of Materials - The Municipalitys approval is required for all materials incorporated in the Works. All materials except electrical and mechanical items will be subject to the review and approval by the Municipalitys materials approval committee. Review and approval of the electrical and mechanical materials will be by the Chief of the Electrical and Mechanical Division of the Abu Dhabi Municipality. Prior to recommending the approval of materials to the Municipality, the review of the Contractors submittal by the Chief Soils and Materials Engineer, other relevant Section Managers, and the applicable Utility Agencies should be completed. Approval of materials will be controlled and documented by Form No. AM-1 and Form No. AM-2 included in Appendix.II.3-1. The procedures as indicated in the Flow Charts for Materials Submittals and Approvals in Appendix.II.3-2 and as stated herein shall be followed for approval of materials to be incorporated in the Permanent Works. 1. The Contractor shall submit for the approval of all concerned parties a complete description with details of the materials together with the names of manufacturers/suppliers from whom he proposes to obtain such items. In addition to the above, the Contractors submission shall include: SM-29 form duly completed with all relevant details. Material Approval forms duly completed for use of the Department and the Consultant.

Site Instructions At any time during the course of the construction, it may be necessary or desirable to send a site instruction to the Contractor. The Resident Engineer and the Assistant Resident Engineer are the only ones authorized to send such a document to a Contractor. Typical purposes of a site instruction are to: 1. Cite the Contractor for operations that are contrary to sound construction practices or that violate the intent or the letter of the Contract. Communicate to the Contractor that the construction material being used doesnt meet the specifications. Confirm oral instructions to the Contractor. Give support to an inspector and his advice to the Contractor regarding any infraction of the Contract. Redress safety or maintenance of traffic problems.

2.

3. 4.

5.

The site instruction format is designed to be used quickly. They can be hand written, preferably so, especially in an emergency situation when a delay could be detrimental to the project. All site instructions shall be confirmed by official correspondence to the Contractor jointly signed by the Resident Engineer and Deputy Project Director or Project Director. Corrective Action Directives and Nonconformance Reporting Generally speaking the Inspector will be the first one to detect nonconformance. He should so advise the Contractors Foreman orally and then immediately report the situation to the ARE or the Resident Engineer. The ARE or the Resident Engineer will bring the matter to the attention of the Contractors management then follow that with a corrective action directive in the form of a site instruction or a letter. The site instruction or letter should be followed with an entry in the daily diary indicating the resultant corrective action taken by the Contractor. In every case the matter should not be left hanging. If the records dont show that the nonconformance has been corrected then it could be assumed that the nonconformance remained so. The potential liability associated with such a situation could be a problem. REFERENCES: Construction Manual, Chapter 1, Sections1000.08, 100.09, 100.10

2.4 Construction Operating procedures


Materials Control Since 1980, a number of events and circumstances have emerged that have defined new procedures and policies. One that has been in evolution is the approval process for basic materials and manufactured products. Many of the suppliers and manufacturers are repeat performers, yet each Contractor must submit test results, certificates of compliance, and other documents as required by the Department. The number and type of supporting documents required by the Department continues to increase over time.

Regardless of the origin or content of a letter to the Contractor, the Resident Engineer and the Project Director or Deputy Project Director will be the signatories. The Resident Engineer must be able to determine the type of letter to be written and thereby to decide who in the organization should review the letter before it goes to the Contractor. In the case of its being on the margin, the Resident Engineer should lean toward having it reviewed according to the designations below. Letters to the Contractor can be put into four categories: contractual, instructional, informational, and transmittal. -contractual letters are those involving interpretation of the contract, disputes, claims, or issues of a legal nature. These should be reviewed by at least one of the following persons, depending on the nature and magnitude of the issue. -----Project Director Deputy Project Director Contract Administrator Chief of Surveys and Quantity Surveyors

instructional letters are those that clarify or confirm instructions to the Contractor regarding quality assurance, quality control, construction methods, and the like. These are items clearly and unequivocally spelled out in the Contract documents and that relate to sound engineering judgment. Depending on the magnitude of the issue or issues, these should be reviewed by the Senior Resident Engineer. informational letters are those that convey information to the Contractor, information that would be of value to the Contractors operations or that otherwise is essential for him to know. The Resident Engineer should use his judgment whether any of these letters should be reviewed by anyone. transmittal letters are those that transmit shop drawings, for example, or other documents. These would be strictly in the province of the Resident Engineer.

Contract Meetings As noted previously, the Resident Engineer and key project staff will meet with the Contractors representatives. One day in advance of the meeting, the Resident Engineer will forward an agenda to the Contractor and concerned staff. The agenda will be based on input from the Contractor and project staff.

Revision No. & Date _________________

The Resident Engineer will appoint one person to take the minutes of the meeting in the form at given in Appendix III.2-2. Once an issue is put on the table, if a conclusion is reached, it will be so noted and by whom action should be taken. The minutes will be written and distributed no later than the following day. If there is objection to any part of the minutes, it shall be discussed at the next meeting and corrected then if corrections are in order. The minutes should form a sequence of records such that all issues are disposed off in some manner or another by succeeding meetings if not the same one. The minutes will be distributed to all participants in the meeting, plus any others the Resident Engineer decides should have them. Minutes of Meeting - Minutes shall be taken of official meetings with the Contractor, the Municipality, and other agencies. Included in the minutes shall be: -Date and Time of Meeting -Location of Meeting -Participants -Purpose of Meeting -Subject Matter - listed in order, with concise information on decisions reached, issues discussed, and actions required. Distribution: Original - Individual responsible for conducting the meeting 1 Copy - Each Participant 1 Copy - Department Site Representative Memoranda - These should be addressed to a specific individual or to the file with copies to an individual or individuals as required. Memoranda can be used to convey information, confirm oral discussions, give instructions and recommendations, transmit other material, or establish policy. Distribution: Original - File or Individual 1 Copy - Author and other indicated recipients Variations to the Contract These can be administered in three ways: change orders, variation orders, and dayworks. Change Orders These can be implemented for additional work within the authorized Contract amount provided for each contract. The distinguishing policy on payment: 1. Pay by unit rates for construction items in the Contract if the added work is within the original construction limits.

2.

Negotiate new unit rates for construction items when the added work lies outside the original construction limits.

The added work can originate from three or more sources: Municipality, Contractor, Consultant, or others such as utility organizations. Regardless of the origin, the final approval for doing the extra work rests with the Municipality. The following steps are to be taken: 1. The extra work is identified and the process started by the Resident Engineer using the appropriate resources: Quantity Surveyor, Chief of Surveys and Quantity Surveyors, Contract Administrator, and others, the Consultant prepares an estimate and explanation. The Resident Engineer reviews the estimate with the Contractor. If the work is such that new unit rates apply, then the Resident Engineer requests the Contractor to propose new rates based on the new plans and specifications, then he or his appointed representative negotiates with the Contractor. The Resident Engineer completes the change order form and, after a review by the Chief Quantity Surveyor and the Contract Administrator, he submits it to the Municipality through the channels previously described. The Municipality reviews and approves and sends a letter to that effect.

2.

3.

4.

Variation Orders These require Executive Council approval. Variation orders become the instrument of change when the involved extra work exceeds the authorized Contract amount. The consultant will maintain a running total of actual Contract value to gauge whether identified extra work exceeds that limit. 1. Once the work is identified as requiring a variation order, the Consultant notifies the Municipality that a particular extra work must be done by variation order instead of change order or day works. The Municipality then decides whether to proceed.

31 July 1998

Revision No. & Date _________________

2.

If the Municipality decides to proceed, then the Resident Engineer negotiates the variation with the Contractor and prepares a letter explaining the reasons for the new works and the associated additional costs and time extension requirement, if any. The letter will give the particulars and the content of the extra work, including the necessary attachments for internal review by the Chief Quantity Surveyor and the Contract Administrator. After review by the Municipality, the variation order goes to the General Projects Committee for action and then finally to the Executive Council for approval. It then will come in reverse order with a letter (similar to the sample in Appendix III.1-1) to the Consultant from the Municipality approving the variation order. The Resident Engineer will notify the Contractor that the variation order is approved. The Municipality makes the decisions on payment and price and whether a time extension is in order. By Contract, the Contractor must proceed with the extra work, as instructed by the Department pending resolution of the price and time. If an agreement is reached, then the matter is relatively simple; if not, there are other channels open such as handling the issue as a dispute or claim.

3.

4.

5.

Day works Day works are provided for in the Contract with unit labor, equipment, and material rates. Generally, for comparatively small items of extra work not covered by a specific B.O.Q. item, day works may be used at the discretion of the Resident Engineer with the concurrence of the Municipality representative on the job site. If it appears that the added work is mounting up and is to some extent open ended, then the extra work may be considered for a change order or variation order. As the work proceeds, the amount of labor, equipment, and materials are tracked and recorded daily; signed by the Contractor, Resident Engineer, and the Municipality representative. Sample day works forms are included in Appendix III.2-2. Disputes and Claims The possibility of disputes and claims is recognized in the Contract between the Municipality and the Contractor. There are some time phasing and milestones to be considered and adhered to strictly. The Resident Engineer and his staff must be constantly on the alert to avoid and prevent the advent of claims. This would involve:

1.

Making sure that approvals of requests by the Contractor are given in a timely and complete fashion. Foreseeing and dealing early on with potential problem areas that could cause schedule disruption such as: utilities, physical obstacles, right-of-way, easements, access to the site, difficult contractual commitments, changed conditions, incomplete design, or design delays.

2.

The Contractor is obligated to notify the Resident Engineer of his intent to claim within seven days of the event causing the claim. The Resident Engineer should: 1. 2. Acknowledge the notification and begin to collect the records and documents pertaining to the claim. Receive the substantiation from the Contractor within 30 days and promptly begin reviewing the claim with the assistance of the Contract Administrator, Chief Quantity Surveyor, and others as needed. As many questions as possible should be resolved before submitting a recommendation to the client. Prepare a recommendation to the client with all the back up and supporting rationale. The recommendation package would go through the normal internal channels before reaching the Municipality.

3.

A decision will be forthcoming from the Municipality and conveyed to the Contractor. He then may choose to dispute the decision in which case every effort should be made to mediate. If a successful conclusion isnt reached, then the Contractor can go to the courts. Once the claim is submitted, the Resident Engineer must do everything to ensure that related elements of the claim are duly recorded and documented. The records and documents should be as impartial and analytical as possible, based strictly on the facts as we know them. Detours and Traffic Control The Contract drawings provide the details for staging, signing, alignment, and detour pavement structure for the project traffic control. The necessity for first rate traffic control and flow through or around the job site falls in the realm of public relations in addition to being related to safety and ease of operation.

Revision No. & Date _________________

Any deviations from the planned traffic control plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Resident Engineer in consultation with the Municipality. The basis of the approval should rely on sound traffic flow practice, the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control as a guide, in addition to the Standard Specifications, and Contract documents. Any approval should assume that the detour, or other temporary arrangement to handle traffic, will be there long term. The Resident Engineer will designate one person to be responsible for inspecting and reporting on the condition of the detours and diversions. This person will check the condition of the facilities for traffic control twice a day at least and will file a daily report using the report form in Appendix III.2-2. Any nonconformance will be called to the attention of the Contractor immediately, by letter or site instruction if necessary. The Resident Engineer will monitor corrective procedures to insure they are done with due dispatch by the Contractor. As-built Drawings The Resident Engineer will be responsible for preparing the as-built drawings, as required in the Standard Specifications, in the same format and to the same detail as the Contract drawings. The Resident Engineer will assign one person to be responsible for putting the as-built information on a set of prints of the Contract drawings. One set will be provided for this purpose and will be used only for that purpose and will be kept in the site office. 1. 2. 3. 4. The engineer will mark clearly alterations to the Contract drawings on the prints provided for that purpose. If necessary for clarity, supplemental sketches and drawings will be clipped to the affected plan sheet. Shop drawings, utility and other drawings should be used to supplement the as-built plans. The prints shall only be marked up when the alteration has actually been constructed and not before. If there is a mistake, the corrections shall be initialed and revised in green rather than red. The Resident Engineer will review the as-built drawings weekly and direct the staff member responsible to make any necessary corrections. He will review the drawings with the Contractor at least once a month. A set of CADD produced drawings will be made available in the design office and saved under a different file name as that of the Contract drawings. As changes occur, the drawings can be altered accordingly, or at the discretion of the Senior Resident Engineer and
