Plan Requirements for New Dams or to Increase Dam Height: Construction Administration

The Engineer of Record shall submit plans for administering the construction of the Dam to the State Engineer for approval. Construction plans must include the following:

(1)

A provision stating that the Engineer of Record or an employee working for the Engineer of Record shall be on-site as needed for instructions to the contractor, approval of initial excavation, acceptance of materials, and general project administration;

(2)

A provision stating that the Dam owner shall cease construction activity if the Engineer of Record is no longer retained or for any reason cannot complete necessary construction administration activities. Construction may resume when a new Engineer of Record is employed, the State Engineer has been notified of the new Engineer of Record, and both Engineers have discussed the project;

(3)

A provision stating that the Engineer of Record will observe the Dam during construction as needed to determine if construction is consistent with approved design and construction documents. This provision shall also include a description of how the Engineer of Record will determine if construction work in progress fails to conform to the approved plans and specifications, and that such nonconforming work will be corrected;

(4)

A provision stating that the Engineer of Record shall confirm Foundation design assumptions once surface materials have been stripped and the Cutoff Trench excavated. Changes in actual Foundation conditions from assumptions made in the initial site evaluation shall be communicated to the State Engineer;

(5)

A provision in which the Engineer of Record shall maintain a record of construction that shall include:

(a)

Logs of construction inspections whenever such inspections are made by the Engineer of Record or the Engineer of Record’s employee;

(b)

All test results pertaining to construction;

(c)

Photographs; and

(d)

Construction problems and remedies.

(6)

A provision stating that the Engineer of Record shall complete and stamp As-built Drawings and a final construction report, including statements that the observations are either consistent or inconsistent with the design drawings and specifications. If key elements of construction were not observed, the construction report shall detail those specific elements that were not observed.
