UDOT Construction Manual https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MEkCMNkoa0vtxIuF0QOU648dqCI1bTDq/view?usp=sharingle/d/1nElpKu7iN8n3KFP4-JQFZptGom4vM3Lz/view

Description:

The Construction Manual (referred to herein as “the Manual”) provides guidance to
personnel who inspect and administer Utah Department of Transportation (also “UDOT” or “Department”)
contract provisions. Further, it establishes specific responsibilities of the Resident Engineer (RE) regarding
contract administration and construction engineering management (CEM). It is an administrative guide
and reference describing acceptable methods and procedures for the preparation of records and reports
by both Department and consultant personnel engaged in the administration and construction of projects
under UDOT’s supervision.
The term “Resident Engineer” or “RE” is used in the Manual to describe both the Resident Engineer
employed with the Department and a Consultant Resident Engineer (CRE) contracted with the Department
to provide CEM services. The Manual is generally written for the RE and all actions are to be performed by
the RE unless otherwise noted.
In general, personnel should use good engineering judgment and common sense. They must also
document the work performed and decisions made. When in doubt or when situations occur outside those
subjects covered in the Manual, advice should be sought from an immediate supervisor.
The Manual refers to general information, instruction, guidelines, and regulation found in other
publications and includes references and links to standard specifications, Department policies and
procedures, and other supporting documents and websites, including regulatory requirements and
conditions of the Department’s Federal-aid agreements.
Information included in the Manual is not to be interpreted as replacing, modifying, or superseding any
part of the construction contract. The construction contract governs the relationship between the
Department and the Contractor and the terms of the contract take precedence over instruction contained
in the Manual. It is strongly recommended the construction contract be read before looking to the Manual
for guidance.
