UDOT STRUCTURES DESIGN AND DETAILING MANUAL GUIDELINES FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN REVIEWS
Updated: 10/4/2012 Page 1-1
OVERVIEW
These guidelines provide directions for Structural Design Reviews and Oversight Reviews on projects. A
design reviewer and oversight reviewer are assigned to projects that involve structures. General
procedures are:
• The Structures Division assigns a design reviewer and oversight reviewer to each project.
• A task order (scope of work and cost estimate) is prepared and submitted to the Structures
Division by the reviewer for reviews performed by consultants. Specific responsibilities are
defined.
• The design reviewer evaluates the design deliverables and prepares comments on the Discipline
Review Comment Resolution Form as described in the UDOT Quality Control / Quality Assurance
(QC/QA) Procedures.
• The design reviewer submits the review comments to the oversight reviewer.
• The oversight reviewer examines the review comments for consensus, provides additional
comments if necessary, and returns the Discipline Review Comment Resolution Form to the
design reviewer.
• The design reviewer returns the completed Discipline Review Comment Resolution Form to the
structural designer for the project.
• The structural designer for the project responds to the review comments and returns the form
to the design reviewer.
• The structural designer and reviewers discuss comments and responses and agree upon a final
disposition.
• Once comments are addressed and incorporated, the final deliverables are provided by the
structural designer to the design reviewer and oversight reviewer for comment resolution
verification.
• The design reviewer will complete the Structural Review Completion Form and send the form to
the Structures Construction Manager for verification and final acceptance of the deliverables.
Activity requirements are described in the Project Delivery Network. All projects are required to use
ProjectWise to maintain a record of all structures submittals and to exchange comments and responses.
Local government projects are required to follow UDOT Structure’s plan presentation.
Review services are intended to provide a constructible set of plans that meet design requirements.
General instructions to reviewers:
• Conduct all reviews with professionalism and tact

• Avoid comments that should have been/be discovered through the structural designer’s QC/QA
process
SCOPING (STAGE 1)
1S1 IDENTIFY PRELIMINARY STRUCTURE TYPE (MINOR & MAJOR)
UDOT Structures Project Manager reviews and accepts the Preliminary Structure Type Selection Report.
Design review and oversight review is not required at this stage.
GEOMETRY (STAGE 2)
3S1 DEVELOP TYPE SELECTION AND LAYOUT (TS&L) AND SEISMIC STRATEGY
3S2 DEVELOP S&L FOR MINOR STRUCTURES
3S3 DEVELOP S&L FOR REHABILITATION
3S4 DEVELOP S&L FOR RETAINING WALLS
3S5 DEVELOP S&L FOR BRIDGES
A status Structure Type Selection Report, Seismic Strategy and structural plan package is submitted for
the 2V1 Geometry Review Meeting by the structural designer for the project. A formal review is not
required at the geometry stage. A courtesy review can be implemented depending on the project.
PLAN-IN-HAND (STAGE 3)
3S1 DEVELOP TYPE SELECTION AND LAYOUT (TS&L) AND SEISMIC STRATEGY
3S2 DEVELOP S&L FOR MINOR STRUCTURES
3S3 DEVELOP S&L FOR REHABILITATION
3S4 DEVELOP S&L FOR RETAINING WALLS
3S5 DEVELOP S&L FOR BRIDGES
The structural designer prepares the following deliverables of the Structural Documentation Package
and submits the package to the design reviewer for comments. Design reviewer completes the
following:

INTERMEDIATE REVIEW (STAGE 4)
INTERMEDIATE REVIEW
An intermediate review is considered an over-the-shoulder review and will be included in projects as
deemed necessary during the Kickoff Meeting. Structure plan sets are reviewed to verify concept and
scope and identify design flaws that will significantly affect the design. This is not a detailed design or
