Section 5: General Plan Set Checklist
Anchor: #i1026165Checklist
Check the plan
set for completeness. Make sure that all sheets (including standards)
have been included in the plan set prior to submission.
- Make sure that
the title block (district, county, highway, CSJ, and sheet number)
on all plan sheets has been completed correctly.
EXAMPLE: Check the index of sheets. All sheet numbers must be listed, including all supplemental sheets (Example: 13, 13A-F as opposed to 13-13F). Each individual plan sheet must be accounted for in the index of sheets. List all omitted sheets in the index of sheets. Titles shown on the index of sheets must match the title exactly on the plan sheet.
- Check plan set for proper engineer’s signature,
seal, and date. See Chapter 2, Section 2,
Sealing
and Dating Construction Documents for additional details.
- Check design speed and ADT shown on the
Title Sheet against that shown on the approved Form 1002, Page 3.
(See Page 3 of Form 1002 in Chapter 5, Section 2, for more information.)
- Check the governing specification note
on the Title Sheet to make sure spec book year adoption date and
the proper provisions (federal or state) have been referenced.
- Check the limits, stationing, and equations
on the Title Sheet for accuracy. Make sure that the stationing,
equations, and exceptions shown equate to the project length shown
and match the project length(s) included on DCIS. See the DCIS
User Manual; Chapter 2, Section1; and Chapter 4, Section
1.
- Make sure that all necessary signatures
(including other entities) have been included on the Title Sheet
prior to submission.
- Make sure that the responsible engineer’s
statement, seal, and signature have been included next to the index
of sheets.
- Make sure there is an applicable typical
section for all stations and roadways.

The following sheets should be provided for all 4R projects. In addition, these sheets should be provided for 3R projects that involve substantial changes to the vertical grade and/or horizontal alignment of an existing facility and/or right of way acquisition.

- Horizontal and Vertical Control Sheet (signed, sealed and dated by a PE)
- Check the plans
to make sure that the locations of existing utilities are shown.
Also make sure that the locations of unacquired ROW parcels (pending
acquisition prior to submission) have been shown.
- Check proposed design features such as
horizontal and vertical alignments, superelevation, etc., for compliance
with design standards and design speed requirements.
- Check the bridge layouts, typical sections,
and P&P sheets for conformance with any previously approved
preliminary design submissions.
- Confirm that environmental commitments
made in the environmental assessment were addressed in the PS&E.
- Check the proposed roadside design. Make
sure all safety enhancements (safety end treatments, metal beam
guard fence, single guardrail terminals, etc.) have been addressed.
Check layouts, typical sections, etc., for proper clear zone requirements
(see Roadway Design Manual, Chapter 4,
Section 3).
- Check the TCP for conformance with the
TMUTCD.
- Check the index of sheets to verify all
necessary current standards have been listed and that these sheets
have been inserted into the plan set. All standards must be inserted
into the plan set prior to submission.
- Check all modified (MOD) standards to
verify that they have been properly sealed by the responsible engineer
with the modifications noted.
- Check sidewalks, ramps, and other pedestrian
features for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) and Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) requirements. (See Roadway Design
Manual, Chapter 2, Section 6).
- Check the TCP or other plan sheets to
verify that the proper treatment for temporary pavement drop-offs
has been provided. (See Roadway Design Manual,
Appendix B, Guidelines for Pavement Drop-offs).
Make sure that all ends of temporary or permanent traffic barriers
have been properly end treated.
- Check signing summary and layout sheets
to make sure that all signs included on the summary sheets are shown
on the layout sheets.
- Check delineation layouts for proper delineator
and object marker usage and spacing.
- Check pavement marking layouts for conformance
with the TMUTCD.
- Check electrical and illumination sheets
for service connections.
- Check traffic signal layouts for accuracy.
Check foundation specifications.
- If bridges or bridge class culverts are
involved, make sure that these lengths have been broken out on the
Title Sheet and that the mileages add up to match the total project
length shown.
- Verify permanent structure numbers for
bridges and bridge class culverts are shown for TxDOT let projects.
The permanent structure number and National Bridge Inventory (NBI) number
need to be shown on the bridge/culvert layout sheets and in the
estimate with 12 cards completed on P3B screen.
- Review all plan sheets for legibility
and reproducibility (type, size, contrast, clarity, etc.).
- For final PS&E submissions, the E&Q
and General Notes sheets must be plotted and inserted into the plan
set. The information on the E&Q sheet must match the data on
DCIS.
