QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY

1. QUALITY ASSURANCE

PLAN


6

1.1 Introduction

The purpose of these

procedures is to

enable consultants to

demonstrate to the

Municipality of Abu

Dhabi City (ADM) that

they are incorporating

effective quality control

measures into the

design process.

The increased awareness and

documentation from following

these procedures will provide ADM

with heightened confidence in the

quality of design submittals and

promote uniformity, consistency,

and reduced review time, resulting

in quicker turnaround times for

design submittals.

These procedures are not intended

to replace the quality control

measures that are currently in use,

but rather to promote awareness

regarding the importance of

quality control throughout the

design process. Computation

sheets and drawings must still be

initialled by the designer and the

checker, as per current practice,

and the review of items should still

be carried out independently by

qualified assessors.

8


The project manager must

complete the Quality Assurance

Form (Form 1) and include it

with each submittal stage. The

consultant’s reviewer must sign

the form and type his name below

the signature line. The item blank

will generally correspond to the

appropriate checklist in Appendix,

which must be completed by the

reviewer. If any numbered items

are not applicable for a specific

project, they should be marked

with a “N/A” (Not Applicable) in

the reviewer space. When items to

be reviewed do not correspond to

a number in the checklist, a short

description should be included in

the item space.

The Quality Assurance Form must

be signed by the designer and the

consultant’s reviewer, and then

approved by a professional or

qualified engineer. Prior to each

submittal, the project manager

must review the plans to ensure

consistency between sheets,

completeness and overall content.

This will include verifying that

the proper number of plans and

items, such as construction cost

estimates, are included with the

submittal. The project manager

should submit a design review log

sheet that includes all comments,

which will confirm that all

requested revisions from previous

submittals have been made or

communicated.

Providing the name and the

contact details of the consultant’s

project manager is important for

future communication between

him and the ADM project manager.

Telephone conversations are

encouraged to clarify items or

answer questions during the review

process. The remarks section can

also be used to list any requested

revisions that were not made with

an acceptable reason; however, the

project manager is encouraged to

discuss these items with the ADM

reviewer prior to the submittal.

1.2 Quality Assurance Form

10


1.3 Design Completion Certificates

Similar to the Quality Assurance

Form, the Design Completion

Certificates Form must be

completed and signed by the

project manager, the designer

and the verifier to certify that

the consultant has used his

professional skill and care to

produce the submittal.

This form is to be submitted at

each design stage. Refer to Form 2

of the appendices for the form and

the certificate.

12


The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City Roads Design Section has prepared these checklists to serve as guidelines for design consultants during the design review process and to submit to ADM as part of each design submittal. ADM expects consultants to use design review checklists for all design submittals. Care must be taken to ensure that the checklists cover the most critical aspects and considerations of a design. The consultant’s reviewer must sign the applicable checklists and type his name at the bottom.

For design review checking to be effective, the reviewer must be an individual with in-depth knowledge of the relevant discipline. It is also important that he not be the creator of the calculation or drawing being checked. This enables the ADM reviewer to bring an impartial perspective to the review, helping to ensure that the intentions of the designer are accurately conveyed to the calculations and drawings.

The size of the project will dictate how much information is contained on each drawing. More than one drawing checklist may have to be applied to check a single drawing, if it contains more than one design discipline. For example, under

certain circumstances, a single drawing may contain utilities, existing conditions and proposed plans. In this case, each of the three relevant checklists would be applied to the drawing. In other cases, a single checklist may have to be applied to several drawings.

In order to ensure the accuracy of calculations, calculation checking should be a two-step process. The first step is to verify the validity of all assumptions, given parameters, and formulation. The second step is checking the numerical values for accuracy.

The purpose of checking is to ensure that everything is accurate and consistent, and that each drawing properly and adequately relates to the others in the set, reflects the design analysis, uses the current standards of presentation, and provides all details needed for construction. All design review checklists for common design elements can be found in the appendices. It should be noted that these samples are not comprehensive, and ADM expects consultants’ reviews, prior to submittal, to be more thorough and exacting, when and where required.

These checklists are meant to

be used as guides and are not

all-inclusive. Their purpose is to

provide a minimum acceptable

list of items that are to be

independently reviewed prior to

submittal; the consultant may

propose additional items to be

checked in the development of

the design for approval. With the

completion of each design stage,

the consultant is required to make

a formal presentation to ADM,

describing the work completed and

the details of the design itself.

All checklist forms can be found

in the appendices. Checklist No.1

details the plans to be submitted

at each stage. It should be

seen as a guide for consultants,

although the ADM project

manager or reviewer may request

additional drawings at any stage.

Consultants are not required to

submit a complete set of drawings

at every stage, but rather only to

submit those required by ADM for

the particular design stage.

Design Review Checklists should

be used for all stages of the design

process, as follows:

PLAN

2.0 Quality Control Plan

Consultants bear full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, consistency and uniformity of their plans, calculations, and related documents furnished under the scope of services. To help ensure that accuracy and completeness, ADM requires consultants to implement and follow a quality control plan.

A meaningful quality control plan must be in place before design work begins, and must remain in effect throughout the duration of the design contract. At a minimum, a functional quality control plan establishes processes to ensure the following:

• All final plans and calculations are checked, back-checked, verified and approved. Checking should be done independently by a second party. The assessor must be an experienced engineer who has not participated in the production of the design plans. Check prints of all drawings and calculations are to be maintained for a minimum of seven years from the completion of a design contract.

• All related correspondence and memoranda are received by authorised persons and maintained in the project files within an established document control system.

• Cross-checking has been carried out to avoid any mismatch and/or discrepancy between the documents (e.g. profiles match plans, drawings match specifications and BOQ, etc.).

• Overall appearance, format and content of the deliverables correspond to the expectations of ADM.

The consultant is expected to perform an internal quality control review of deliverables at all stages of design completion. These reviews are to be carried out by experienced engineers in the relevant disciplines. The purpose of these reviews is to satisfy the consultant that deliverables are of a quality that is acceptable to ADM and to the consultant itself. ADM may request that the consultant update its quality control plan at any stage of the design process, in order to enhance its functionality.

3. CONSULTANT EVALUATION

22


3.1 Introduction

To monitor the quality of

deliverables prepared by

consulting firms and to

evaluate the performance

of consultants at each

design stage, ADM project

managers must complete

consultant evaluation

forms, and provide a

copy of each evaluation

to the consultant for their

records and necessary

corrective actions.

The consultant has the right to

question any or all of the ratings.

The results of evaluations will be

referenced by ADM when selecting

consultants for future projects.

24


3.2 Design Submittal Evaluation

The blank Consultant Evaluation

Form (Form 3) must be attached

to all submittals of plans and/or

reports to be reviewed.

ADM project managers use this

form when a consultant makes a

submittal. He must complete the

general project information and the

coordination team rating items. On

the middle left of the evaluation

form, the project manager indicates

the type of plans and/or reports that

have been submitted. Items to be

rated are located on the right of the

evaluation form. The ADM reviewer

rates the items found in the middle

right, under “ADM Reviewer’s

Rating Items”.

The rating to be used is found at

the lower right of the evaluation

form. At the very bottom of

the form is the final area to be

completed by the reviewer. In this

area, the reviewer can indicate

what plans and/or reports are to be

submitted next. The last line on the

form is for the reviewer to sign and

date the completed evaluation.

26


3.3 Rating Definitions

The review of each submittal will

be performed by ADM, providing

the consultant with a clear

understanding of how the quality

of work is being perceived by ADM

as the project progresses. The

review of completed evaluations

is extremely important to the

consultant’s project manager

because the evaluation reflects

the comments within the reviewed

plans and/or reports. If the

consultant has any questions

regarding the given rating, the

ADM reviewer must answer these

questions.

The ratings range from a high

of 5 to a low of 1. A rating of

3, 2, or 1 indicates that the

reviewer assessed the item under

consideration as not satisfactory.

The general interpretations of the

ratings are as follows:

5. Excellent: Consultant performed beyond expectations; submittal approved with very minor comments.

4. Good: Several revisions required; submittal approved with comments to be incorporated in next stage.

3. Average: Many revisions required, mostly minor but several major comments; submittal returned for revision and resubmittal.

2. Poor: Many major comments; submittal not accepted.

1. Unsatisfactory: Full of mistakes and major comments, poor document quality; submittal not accepted and returned to consultant with notice of concern from ADM.

28


29

4. Plan/Report Quality: All

material submitted at each

stage of development, such as

plans, Design Summary Report

(DSR), design computations,

special provisions, and any

other supporting material, will

be evaluated. Ratings will be

based on presentation, legibility,

structure and print quality.

5. Engineering Judgement: The

rating of this item is subjective

to the evaluator. If it is felt that

good or poor judgement was

used, this will be reflected in

the given rating. Engineering

Judgement will be evaluated

for areas such as value

engineering, rehabilitation

options, project constructability,

selection of construction

materials, and maintenance of

traffic scheme.

6. Documentation of Work:

This item will be rated based

on how well each design

decision is documented, or if

the decisions were documented

at all. The majority of the

documentation will be found in

the Design Summary Report,

but documentation may also be

found elsewhere.

7. Procedure/Standard

Compliance: This category

will evaluate how well the

consultant is familiar with local

policies, and will consider

how well the consultant uses

the available standards and

guidelines, as well as whether

the standards and guidelines

were effectively implemented

in the design. This category

will also evaluate how well the

consultant follows established

procedures for specific

items, including foundation

reviews, final plans submittal

memorandum to the Contract

Section, etc.

8. Quality Assurance: The ADM

reviewer will rate this category

based upon the consultant’s

compliance with the Quality

Assurance Guidelines. Design

computations should be

initialled by both the design

engineer and a second

engineer, who has reviewed

the design engineer’s work.

This item rating is intended to

monitor how well the consultant

has performed the evaluation of

checks and balances required

for quality assurance, including

the submittal of the Quality

Assurance Evaluation Form.

9. Cooperation: This rating

is based on how well the

consultant cooperates with

the ADM reviewer when

changes are required and

requested. Willingness to attend

meetings, timely response

to ADM’s queries, and ease

of participation for project

development will also be

reflected in this category.

Form 3 illustrates the items to be

evaluated at each project stage.

The following briefly describes

each item:

1. Design Concept: The

consultant’s submittal will be

evaluated on the completeness

of the proposed design concept.

The term completeness

encompasses how well the

consultant has thought through

all of the necessary factors that

result in the best possible design.

If certain items omitted from the

design concept are detrimental to

the design, a lower rating will be

issued. The evaluation will also

consider how well the consultant

addressed any encountered

obstacle that was not foreseen

at the time of completion of the

Engineer’s Report.

2. Critical Design Elements:

Failure to satisfactorily address

all applicable design criteria will

result in a rating no higher than 3.

3. Calculations: The operations

of mathematical computations

and deletions and/or additions

to the computations are

areas of scrutiny. With the

implementation of the Quality

Assurance Program, how

well the computations were

executed will not be examined

as thoroughly as in the past.

However, spot-checking will

occur and the rating of this item

will reflect the spot-checking.

The scoring will be as follows:

a. A major error is defined as

an error originating from the

computations that would result

in a significant design change.

b. A minor error is one that would

pose no significant change to

any element of the design. If

computations are not submitted

because of the nature of the

submittal or because they are not

warranted, this item will not be

rated. If the reviewer believes that

some computations were needed

but failed to be submitted, the

reviewer will not rate this category

on this basis alone; this would be

addressed in the Documentation

of Work item, thereby avoiding

double penalties.
