About this file
This is a Capital Development Procedures document issued by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) that establishes the formal process for managing design standards and design exceptions for UTA Capital Development projects. The document, approved by the Design and Construction Committee on March 30, 2011, outlines two primary procedures: changes and updates to design standards, and the submission and approval process for design exceptions. Design criteria for Capital Development projects are organized by transit mode (LRT, CRT, BRT, etc.) and stored in a centralized repository. The UTA engineer for design criteria holds primary responsibility for compilation, review, and updates of all design standards. Any proposed changes to design standards must first be submitted to the UTA engineer, who then briefs the Design and Construction management team for their recommendation. The process culminates with Capital Construction Committee (CCC) approval, which is mandatory for all design standard modifications.
The design exception procedure applies when project design teams identify deviations from established criteria during the design process. Design teams must complete a design exception form obtained from the UTA engineer, who subsequently routes the request to relevant UTA departments including safety, legal, operations, and maintenance for review and comment. The Design and Construction management team then evaluates the exception request and either recommends additional documentation, rejection, or forwarding to the CCC for approval. Notably, the CCC must approve any design exceptions before implementation, ensuring centralized oversight and consistency across all UTA Capital Development projects. The document contains no information regarding specific contract awards, timelines, pricing, or funding sources, as it serves as an internal procedural guideline rather than a solicitation or contract document.

UTA—Capital Development Procedures Procedure Title: 3C Design Criteria Developed by: Travis W. Jones Page 1 of 2
Approved by: Design and Construction Committee 30 March 2011
1 Introduction
The procedure outlined herein provides guidance for changing/updating design standards and applying for a design exception. The design standards for UTA Capital Development projects are located in the design criteria documents. In general, design criteria are the explicit goals that a project must achieve in order to be successful and are used by designers as a framework for making design decisions.
The design criteria for Capital Development are stored at the following address:
I:\capdev\common\GENERAL Files\Design Info\Design Criteria\
Design criteria are organized by mode of transit (i.e. LRT, CRT, BRT, etc.).
2 Responsibility
The UTA engineer for design criteria will be responsible for the compilation, review, and update of the design criteria.
3 Documents
None.
4 Attachments
None.
5 Requirements/Activities
5.1 Changes/Updates to Design Standards
When periodic updates and/or changes are to be made to the design criteria, the following process shall be followed:
a. The change/update is submitted to the UTA engineer for design criteria.
b. The engineer reviews the proposed change and makes comments. The engineer briefs the design and construction (D/C) management team on the proposed change. The D/C management team will either recommend further review, refinement, and modification of the proposed change to the design criteria; will reject the change; or will recommend the proposed change be forwarded to the CCC.
c. The engineer briefs the CCC on the proposed change. The CCC must approve any changes to the design criteria.

5.2 Design Exceptions
If during the design process an exception to the design criteria is identified by the design team, the following process shall be followed:
a. The design team uses the latest version design exception form to outline and document the design exception. This form can be obtained from the UTA engineer for design criteria.
b. The engineer reviews the design exception and makes comments. Furthermore, the engineer routes the exception request to the appropriate UTA departments for review (i.e. safety, legal, operations, maintenance, etc.). The engineer also briefs the design and construction management team on the proposed exception. The D/C management team will either recommend further review and documentation of the exception, reject the exception, or will recommend the exception be forwarded to the
CCC.
c. The engineer briefs the CCC on the design exception. The CCC must approve any design exceptions.
