Detection. District 4 will modify existing written district guidance and procedural requirements for implementing the delegation responsibility, which will be published on the District 4 Design website. As indicated previously, a District Design Liaison will be appointed to ensure the consistency and quality of design exception approvals. The District's Design Liaison and experienced functional unit staff, where appropriate, will serve as subject matter experts. The District will consult with HQ DOD Resource Center, early and often, to obtain needed expert guidance and assure statewide consistency, especially on more complex or controversial projects. The quarterly report prepared by the D4 Design Coordinator will serve as a management tool to monitor the consistency and quality of delegated approvals. It will also provide information to indicate corrective action may be necessary and enable management to monitor improvements. Those in the district with delegated approval authority will also be responsible for monitoring quality and process requirements through informal communication with subject matter experts and HQ DOD Resource Center. Approved documents will be reviewed and audited periodically for key indicators and performance measures as indicated in Section 7, "Results," of the SQMP. Regular meetings will be scheduled, i.e., monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly as appropriate, to review district approved and pending mandatory design exceptions. This collaboration will assure consistency and quality throughout the District as well as statewide via the HQ DOD Project Delivery Coordinator. Participants will include District Division Chiefs, the HQ DOD Project Delivery Coordinator, the District Design Liaison and the D4 Design Coordinator. The HQ DOD Office of Performance Management will also conduct periodic reviews, measure compliance with the SQMP and assess performance measures.
