Construction Inspection for the FUTURE
History of Prequalification
• Firms were Prequalified 20 years ago
• Judged to be ineffective and ended
• ODOT began requiring resumes
• Prequalification based on HT Series Training
evaluated 7-8 Years ago
• Not enough capacity to train consultants
• Evaluated again in 2012

LPA Local Let Participation Requirements
• The LPA must have designated a Person in Responsible Charge.
• The LPA shall have sufficient expertise and capability to perform and/or supervise the project.
• Projects must be administered by a Professional Engineer designated as the LPA Project Engineer.
• Projects must be administered in accordance with ODOT’s Locally Administered Transportation Projects Manual of Procedures – Chapter on Construction Contract Administration.
-
LPA Local Let Participation Requirements
Project Engineer
- Professional Engineer licensed by the State of Ohio
- Previously performed similar services in a successful
manner
- Day – to – day responsibilities over engineering aspects
of designing and constructing the project
-
LPA Local Let Participation Requirements
• The LPA must have established and
documented practices for each of the
following:
o Dispute Resolution / Claims Management Process
o Finance, Accounting and Record Keeping
o Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
o Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) / (EDGE)
o Davis-Bacon and/or State Prevailing Wages
-
Trend is Upward for both
ODOT and Local Let Program!
CY 2014 CY 2015
ODOT $ 2,190 Million $ 2,044 Million
LPA + Other $ 325 Million $ 350 Million
Total $ 2.52 Billion $ 2.39 Billion
Construction Inspection for the FUTURE
-
• To date, ODOT contracts have been mostly
construction inspection – project inspector
level personnel managed by ODOT
• ODOT has never issued a full construction
administration contract
• LPA contracts may include inspection and
administration
Construction Inspection for the FUTURE

Current Consultant Selection Practices
• ODOT• No standard qualifications for inspectors
• ODOT bridge painting inspection and asphalt courses are required for some contracts
• Scope of services documents are generic - do not include detailed requirements
• Local Governments • No standard qualifications for inspectors or contract
administration
• Scope of services documents are inconsistent
Construction Inspection for the FUTURE
-
• Consultant performance on ODOT contracts
has generally been good
• Performance on LPA Local Let contracts has
been inconsistent
– Contract administration and inspection has been
found deficient in many instances
• Committee determined that individuals
should be prequalified rather than firms
Construction Inspection for the FUTURE
-
• September 26, 2011: Consultant Selection Review Team Report and Recommendations– Recommended the increased use of external certifications (NACE, ACI etc.)
and ODOT training (asphalt, bridge painting) as selection sub-factors.
• January, 2012– Division of Construction Administration determined that prequalification
should be considered
• February, 2012: ODOT/ACEC Committee Initiated
