\

A. INTRODUCTION
Johnson, Mirmiran and Thompson (JMT) has developed this Design Quality Assurance Plan (DQAP)
specifically for the scope of this project.
As part of the plan we have established a Quality
Improvement Team comprised of key staff from JMT including a Design Quality Manager (DQM). The
Quality Improvement Team, including the Design Project Manager (DPM) has the responsibility to plan,
implement, and manage the operation of the DQAP.
Our design team must be responsive in anticipating and meeting the needs and expectations of the
Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division (MPA) and the stakeholders that it serves. This is no easy task
within the triple-constraints of scope, schedule, and budget, for these various stakeholders often have
competing needs. In order to be productive in providing an optimum balance of these competing needs,
our DQAP emphasizes early identification of goals, needs, expectations, and risks associated with the
project within the Phase 1 Preliminary phase. Our policy emphasizes team communication, as well as
effective communication management, familiarity of quality standards, proactive verification of the
design process, and audits of results through inspection to ensure product quality.
B. PURPOSE AND NEED OF THE DQAP
The purpose of the DQAP is to provide a plan that provides a design that meets the needs of the
following stakeholders within the constraints of the projects schedule, budget, and other requirements
outlined within the MPA Statement of Work (SOW):
MPA (client)
facility users
adjacent residents
utility owners
permit/review agencies
emergency response agencies
JMT Design Team
The method outlined in the plan is based upon procedures that have been practiced by JMT over the
years that have been both effective and practical. The plan does not attempt to employ untested practices,
but instead uses the benefits of success and provides a framework for formal
implementation.
This DQAP is needed for this contract for several reasons:
To promote an early familiarity with quality standards among team members.
To establish protocol and accountability for conformance to those standards.
To establish a communication protocol among multiple disciplines and stakeholders so that the
design meets these standards in a consistent and productive way.
To establish a process that empowers the team to satisfy stakeholder needs within the
constraints of scope, schedule and budget.
E. DESIGN QA/QC SUBMITTAL/REVIEW/APPROVAL PROCESS
Prior to each JMT prepared design submittal, the documents being submitted will be reviewed by lead
discipline engineers who will prepare, check, and conduct reviews in accordance with this QA/QC
submittal/review/approval process. Checklists, including MPA developed checklists, prepared for each
submittal will be used by the designer, checker of the design, and the Design QA/QC Team to ensure that
the submittal has been designed in compliance with current design manuals, standards, and criteria.
The specific QA/QC submittal/review/approval process is shown below:
Page 1 of 6

A reviewer (member of the JMT project team other than the original designer) will perform a
detailed check of each design submittals drawings and calculations as applicable, and also
verify that the designer has addressed design criteria included on a design checklist that was
prepared specifically for that submittal.
The reviewer will then return to the Designer a marked-up copy clearly indicating all revisions
along with the checklist.
The Designer will then revise the submittal to address all comments received from the reviewer
and resubmit to the reviewer for final acceptance. The original comments will be returned by
the designer for back checking by the reviewer and all markups will be retained by the
reviewer.
A member of JMTs Design QA/QC Team, led by the DQM, will then review the submittal and
checklist to verify that it meets client design requirements. JMTs DPM will also perform a
quality assurance review of the submittal as applicable. Any comments received from the
Design QA/QC Team and/or DPM will be returned to the Designer to be revised accordingly.
The Designer will address the QA/QC comments received, to the satisfaction of the DQM and
the DPM. The DQM will send the reviewed submittal to the DPM for submittal to MPA
and/or other agency as applicable for their review and approval.
DPM will assemble and include with the project submittals, the completed checklists and QA
certification forms. Samples of the checklists and forms are included in the appendix.
Comments from within MPA or other agencies will be returned to the MPA PM who will forward them to
JMTs DPM. The DPM will meet with the Lead Discipline Design Engineers and Designers to review the
comments. The design team will then revise the submittal to address the comments and resubmit to MPA
and/or agency to obtain their final approval and acceptance following the same QA/QC
submittal/review/approval process. See attached flow chart entitled MPA and Other Agency Submittal
Flowchart.
The process for comments and comment resolution between discipline specific designers and reviewers
will occur after each step in the quality review process. During the reviews, comments will be recorded
on hard copies of the documents (plans, specifications, estimates, engineering computations, reports, and
studies). Discipline-specific designers will review and prepare responses to the comments. The responses
to the comments will be recorded on the summarized comment list and will be included with the
document resubmission packages for use in subsequent reviews. Comments will be addressed by the
Designer and confirmed by the reviewer prior to advancing the documents to the next step in the review
cycle. If any changes are made to the documents based on comments received, the review cycle will be
repeated to ensure that the changes are reviewed and approved by the entire quality review team.
F. ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
The Organizational Structure represents the philosophy of JMT and is not intended to restrict, but to
rather empower and provide flexibility to employees in their efforts to achieve the highest quality in
their work.
Design Project Manager (DPM), Jeff Cerquetti, P.E.
The DPM will be responsible for implementation of the DQAP. Mr. Schaub will be the primary
point of contact with the MPA and other stakeholders. Mr. Schaub will collaborate with the DQM to
ensure that quality standards are identified and adequately communicated at the onset of the
project. The DPM will monitor work completed to date against the schedule at least biweekly. Mr.
Schaub has the most crucial responsibilities in proactively ensuring compliance to the DQAP. This
effort will include both proactive verification that the design process is delivering satisfactory results
through over-the-shoulder reviews, as well as through collecting and maintaining all required DQAP
documentation. It will also be the responsibility of the DPM to correct deficiencies in design or
documentation as they are revealed through over-the-shoulder reviews or pre-submission inspections.
The DPM will also prepare responses to all internal comments made during pre-submission
inspections, as well as to client and external agency comments. Finally, the DPM will be
responsible for monitoring and controlling the scope, budget and schedule for the entire design effort.

Design Quality Manager

Will be responsible for planning, implementing, coordinating, verifying, and certifying effective use
of the DQAP for this project.
He will also collaborate with the DPM to ensure that quality
standards are identified and adequately communicated at the onset of the project. Mr. Crane will
perform quality audits that verify conformance to the DQAP. The DQM will review the minutes of
meetings and periodically attend meetings unannounced. This will include internal meetings and
team coordination meetings. Emphasis of these reviews will be on the management of the project.
The DQM will determine the following:
Problems identified are being addressed.
Appropriate action is being taken in a timely manner.
Discipline interfaces have been addressed and are effective.
JMT Approach
It is imperative to remember that quality is the responsibility of all team members, and the guidelines
presented in this plan are equally relevant to all staff. Since quality is defined by different, competing
needs of various stakeholder, it is important to balance the long term project quality goals of the
stakeholders and the MPA with the schedule and budget constraints for this project.
