Roadway Construction Oversight. Monitor the overall planning of construction activities to identify critical milestones and priorities. Determine budget estimates and staffing requirements for the roadway work scope and schedule. Coordinate and conduct pre-construction and pre-activity meetings with the Design-Builder. Provide engineering assessment of plans for adequacy of design, particularly with respect to suitability to actual field conditions. Ensure compliance with the plans and specifications by the Design-Builder; recommend, modify, interpret, and edit special provisions and prepare modification estimates; and keep necessary records pertaining to construction progress, budget performance, and work order balances for the segment. Monitor the Design-Builder’s construction QC program, including the adequacy of capability of QC resources. Oversee and provide, as necessary, notification to the Design-Builder of rejected work when it is the opinion that the work or materials do not conform to the requirements of the Design-Build Contract documents. Monitor compliance of Design-Builder’s safety plan and note concerns or deficiencies immediately to Design-Builder for their implementation of corrective measures. Oversee Caltrans performance of periodic construction inspection and QA independent oversight activities and their recording of daily progress of the Project with accurate and complete daily inspection reports, including weather conditions, work performed, number of workers, problems encountered, and other relevant data. Maintain an independent photographic log of the construction progress indexed for easy retrieval. Review all detour, lane closures, temporary access, signing, delineation, and traffic management and control plans for compliance with Contract Transportation Management Plan (TMP) requirements and all safety laws and regulations. Notify any deficiencies to Design-Builder for their immediate correction and compliance. Communicate any special notices to the public outreach team. Observe and identify all potential changes in scope based on Design– Builder’s activities, and review all change orders submitted, perform required analyses, and present recommendations to RCTC for disposition. Maintain separate log and files to document all potential and actual changes. Perform oversight and review of laboratory, shop, and mill test reports of materials and equipment, and coordination. Monitor Design-Builder compliance to inspection and surveys of properties adjacent to the P...
