Do prequalified designs require design approval?
A. Yes. Prequalified engineering designs are to be used as part of a site-specific design. The site-specific design must be reviewed and approved by someone with the appropriate engineering approval authority. The vendor must supply to the field office all appropriate construction drawings, notes, details, and construction specifications prior to construction for engineering approval. In situations where a different prequalified design is being substituted into an already approved site design, all documentation must be provided by the vendor and the design reviewed and reapproved prior to start of any construction.
