About this file
This document is a checklist for reviewing design specifications and drawings for a federal construction project. It includes items to validate in both drawings and specifications prior to approval of 100% design documents. Key items to review in drawings include verifying project name consistency, ensuring all listed drawings are provided and labeled correctly. Specification reviews include validating table of contents accuracy, general requirements around working hours and site visits, schedule specifications, submittal and response timelines, safety requirements, and commissioning responsibilities. Hazardous material reports and available geotechnical data should also be included. Spec writer notes and non-applicable specification sections must be removed. This checklist aims to address common issues identified during contract administration to facilitate quality assurance of design packages for design-bid-build construction projects.
