DART's Project Management staff, GEC, SDC, PCC, SIC, and outside agenciesperform technical reviews. The DART Quality Assurance Manager participates in designreviews to ensure that quality considerations are included.

NOTE:DART's design reviews do not relieve the designers/contractors of the responsibility to checktheir own work. Design firms implement their own Quality Assurance/Quality Control reviewsprior to submitting the design to DART. As a quality control measure, someone other than theindividual who performed the work checks all work.4.3.4 Design Verification and ValidationDesign reviews, design checks, alternate calculations, performance tests and other reviews areperformed and documented by personnel (with equal qualifications) other than those whooriginated the design. This approach, based on independent verification, is included in QualityAssurance/Quality Control plans of contractors performing design work.Constructability Reviews are performed and documented throughout the design phases.Construction personnel and the GEC perform an in-depth constructability review at the DARTand Agency submittal level. Systems Engineering personnel review the design to ensure that thesystems elements are coordinated and can be properly installed.4.3.5 Design ChangesDesign changes are checked, coordinated, documented and reviewed to the same level as theoriginal design, in accordance with DART's Change Control Procedures.
