1.1 Introduction
The purpose of these
procedures is to
enable consultants to
demonstrate to the
Municipality of Abu
Dhabi City (ADM) that
they are incorporating
effective quality control
measures into the
design process.
The increased awareness and
documentation from following
these procedures will provide ADM
with heightened confidence in the
quality of design submittals and
promote uniformity, consistency,
and reduced review time, resulting
in quicker turnaround times for
design submittals.
These procedures are not intended
to replace the quality control
measures that are currently in use,
but rather to promote awareness
regarding the importance of
quality control throughout the
design process. Computation
sheets and drawings must still be
initialled by the designer and the
checker, as per current practice,
and the review of items should still
be carried out independently by
qualified assessors.

QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
The project manager must
complete the Quality Assurance
Form (Form 1) and include it
with each submittal stage. The
consultant’s reviewer must sign
the form and type his name below
the signature line. The item blank
will generally correspond to the
appropriate checklist in Appendix,
which must be completed by the
reviewer. If any numbered items
are not applicable for a specific
project, they should be marked
with a “N/A” (Not Applicable) in
the reviewer space. When items to
be reviewed do not correspond to
a number in the checklist, a short
description should be included in
the item space.
The Quality Assurance Form must
be signed by the designer and the
consultant’s reviewer, and then
approved by a professional or
qualified engineer. Prior to each
submittal, the project manager
must review the plans to ensure
consistency between sheets,
completeness and overall content.
This will include verifying that
the proper number of plans and
items, such as construction cost
estimates, are included with the
submittal. The project manager
should submit a design review log
sheet that includes all comments,
which will confirm that all
requested revisions from previous
submittals have been made or
communicated.
Providing the name and the
contact details of the consultant’s
project manager is important for
future communication between
him and the ADM project manager.
Telephone conversations are
encouraged to clarify items or
answer questions during the review
process. The remarks section can
also be used to list any requested
revisions that were not made with
an acceptable reason; however, the
project manager is encouraged to
discuss these items with the ADM
reviewer prior to the submittal.
1.2 Quality Assurance Form
10
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
1.3 Design Completion Certificates
Similar to the Quality Assurance
Form, the Design Completion
Certificates Form must be
completed and signed by the
project manager, the designer
and the verifier to certify that
the consultant has used his
professional skill and care to
produce the submittal.
This form is to be submitted at
each design stage. Refer to Form 2
of the appendices for the form and
the certificate.
12
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City Roads Design Section has prepared these checklists to serve as guidelines for design consultants during the design review process and to submit to ADM as part of each design submittal. ADM expects consultants to use design review checklists for all design submittals. Care must be taken to ensure that the checklists cover the most critical aspects and considerations of a design. The consultant’s reviewer must sign the applicable checklists and type his name at the bottom.
For design review checking to be effective, the reviewer must be an individual with in-depth knowledge of the relevant discipline. It is also important that he not be the creator of the calculation or drawing being checked. This enables the ADM reviewer to bring an impartial perspective to the review, helping to ensure that the intentions of the designer are accurately conveyed to the calculations and drawings.
The size of the project will dictate how much information is contained on each drawing. More than one drawing checklist may have to be applied to check a single drawing, if it contains more than one design discipline. For example, under
certain circumstances, a single drawing may contain utilities, existing conditions and proposed plans. In this case, each of the three relevant checklists would be applied to the drawing. In other cases, a single checklist may have to be applied to several drawings.
In order to ensure the accuracy of calculations, calculation checking should be a two-step process. The first step is to verify the validity of all assumptions, given parameters, and formulation. The second step is checking the numerical values for accuracy.
The purpose of checking is to ensure that everything is accurate and consistent, and that each drawing properly and adequately relates to the others in the set, reflects the design analysis, uses the current standards of presentation, and provides all details needed for construction. All design review checklists for common design elements can be found in the appendices. It should be noted that these samples are not comprehensive, and ADM expects consultants’ reviews, prior to submittal, to be more thorough and exacting, when and where required.

These checklists are meant to
be used as guides and are not
all-inclusive. Their purpose is to
provide a minimum acceptable
list of items that are to be
independently reviewed prior to
submittal; the consultant may
propose additional items to be
checked in the development of
the design for approval. With the
completion of each design stage,
the consultant is required to make
a formal presentation to ADM,
describing the work completed and
the details of the design itself.
All checklist forms can be found
in the appendices. Checklist No.1
details the plans to be submitted
at each stage. It should be
seen as a guide for consultants,
although the ADM project
manager or reviewer may request
additional drawings at any stage.
Consultants are not required to
submit a complete set of drawings
at every stage, but rather only to
submit those required by ADM for
the particular design stage.
Design Review Checklists should
be used for all stages of the design
process, as follows:

QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
2.0 Quality Control Plan
Consultants bear full responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, consistency and uniformity of their plans, calculations, and related documents furnished under the scope of services. To help ensure that accuracy and completeness, ADM requires consultants to implement and follow a quality control plan.
A meaningful quality control plan must be in place before design work begins, and must remain in effect throughout the duration of the design contract. At a minimum, a functional quality control plan establishes processes to ensure the following:
• All final plans and calculations are checked, back-checked, verified and approved. Checking should be done independently by a second party. The assessor must be an experienced engineer who has not participated in the production of the design plans. Check prints of all drawings and calculations are to be maintained for a minimum of seven years from the completion of a design contract.
• All related correspondence and memoranda are received by authorised persons and maintained in the project files within an established document control system.
• Cross-checking has been carried out to avoid any mismatch and/or discrepancy between the documents (e.g. profiles match plans, drawings match specifications and BOQ, etc.).
• Overall appearance, format and content of the deliverables correspond to the expectations of ADM.
The consultant is expected to perform an internal quality control review of deliverables at all stages of design completion. These reviews are to be carried out by experienced engineers in the relevant disciplines. The purpose of these reviews is to satisfy the consultant that deliverables are of a quality that is acceptable to ADM and to the consultant itself. ADM may request that the consultant update its quality control plan at any stage of the design process, in order to enhance its functionality.
22
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
3.1 Introduction
To monitor the quality of
deliverables prepared by
consulting firms and to
evaluate the performance
of consultants at each
design stage, ADM project
managers must complete
consultant evaluation
forms, and provide a
copy of each evaluation
to the consultant for their
records and necessary
corrective actions.
The consultant has the right to
question any or all of the ratings.
The results of evaluations will be
referenced by ADM when selecting
consultants for future projects.
24
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
3.2 Design Submittal Evaluation
The blank Consultant Evaluation
Form (Form 3) must be attached
to all submittals of plans and/or
reports to be reviewed.
ADM project managers use this
form when a consultant makes a
submittal. He must complete the
general project information and the
coordination team rating items. On
the middle left of the evaluation
form, the project manager indicates
the type of plans and/or reports that
have been submitted. Items to be
rated are located on the right of the
evaluation form. The ADM reviewer
rates the items found in the middle
right, under “ADM Reviewer’s
Rating Items”.
The rating to be used is found at
the lower right of the evaluation
form. At the very bottom of
the form is the final area to be
completed by the reviewer. In this
area, the reviewer can indicate
what plans and/or reports are to be
submitted next. The last line on the
form is for the reviewer to sign and
date the completed evaluation.
26
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
3.3 Rating Definitions
The review of each submittal will
be performed by ADM, providing
the consultant with a clear
understanding of how the quality
of work is being perceived by ADM
as the project progresses. The
review of completed evaluations
is extremely important to the
consultant’s project manager
because the evaluation reflects
the comments within the reviewed
plans and/or reports. If the
consultant has any questions
regarding the given rating, the
ADM reviewer must answer these
questions.
The ratings range from a high
of 5 to a low of 1. A rating of
3, 2, or 1 indicates that the
reviewer assessed the item under
consideration as not satisfactory.
The general interpretations of the
ratings are as follows:
5. Excellent: Consultant performed beyond expectations; submittal approved with very minor comments.
4. Good: Several revisions required; submittal approved with comments to be incorporated in next stage.
3. Average: Many revisions required, mostly minor but several major comments; submittal returned for revision and resubmittal.
2. Poor: Many major comments; submittal not accepted.
1. Unsatisfactory: Full of mistakes and major comments, poor document quality; submittal not accepted and returned to consultant with notice of concern from ADM.
28
QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES 2011 EDITION | MUNICIPALITY OF ABU DHABI CITY
29
4. Plan/Report Quality: All
material submitted at each
stage of development, such as
plans, Design Summary Report
(DSR), design computations,
special provisions, and any
other supporting material, will
be evaluated. Ratings will be
based on presentation, legibility,
structure and print quality.
5. Engineering Judgement: The
rating of this item is subjective
to the evaluator. If it is felt that
good or poor judgement was
used, this will be reflected in
the given rating. Engineering
Judgement will be evaluated
for areas such as value
engineering, rehabilitation
options, project constructability,
selection of construction
materials, and maintenance of
traffic scheme.
6. Documentation of Work:
This item will be rated based
on how well each design
decision is documented, or if
the decisions were documented
at all. The majority of the
documentation will be found in
the Design Summary Report,
but documentation may also be
found elsewhere.
7. Procedure/Standard
Compliance: This category
will evaluate how well the
consultant is familiar with local
policies, and will consider
how well the consultant uses
the available standards and
guidelines, as well as whether
the standards and guidelines
were effectively implemented
in the design. This category
will also evaluate how well the
consultant follows established
procedures for specific
items, including foundation
reviews, final plans submittal
memorandum to the Contract
Section, etc.
8. Quality Assurance: The ADM
reviewer will rate this category
based upon the consultant’s
compliance with the Quality
Assurance Guidelines. Design
computations should be
initialled by both the design
engineer and a second
engineer, who has reviewed
the design engineer’s work.
This item rating is intended to
monitor how well the consultant
has performed the evaluation of
checks and balances required
for quality assurance, including
the submittal of the Quality
Assurance Evaluation Form.
9. Cooperation: This rating
is based on how well the
consultant cooperates with
the ADM reviewer when
changes are required and
requested. Willingness to attend
meetings, timely response
to ADM’s queries, and ease
of participation for project
development will also be
reflected in this category.
Form 3 illustrates the items to be
evaluated at each project stage.
The following briefly describes
each item:
1. Design Concept: The
consultant’s submittal will be
evaluated on the completeness
of the proposed design concept.
The term completeness
encompasses how well the
consultant has thought through
all of the necessary factors that
result in the best possible design.
If certain items omitted from the
design concept are detrimental to
the design, a lower rating will be
issued. The evaluation will also
consider how well the consultant
addressed any encountered
obstacle that was not foreseen
at the time of completion of the
Engineer’s Report.
2. Critical Design Elements:
Failure to satisfactorily address
all applicable design criteria will
result in a rating no higher than 3.
3. Calculations: The operations
of mathematical computations
and deletions and/or additions
to the computations are
areas of scrutiny. With the
implementation of the Quality
Assurance Program, how
well the computations were
executed will not be examined
as thoroughly as in the past.
However, spot-checking will
occur and the rating of this item
will reflect the spot-checking.
The scoring will be as follows:
a. A major error is defined as
an error originating from the
computations that would result
in a significant design change.
b. A minor error is one that would
pose no significant change to
any element of the design. If
computations are not submitted
because of the nature of the
submittal or because they are not
warranted, this item will not be
rated. If the reviewer believes that
some computations were needed
but failed to be submitted, the
reviewer will not rate this category
on this basis alone; this would be
addressed in the Documentation
of Work item, thereby avoiding
double penalties.
