T. E. McLaughlin, PE
This course is an in-depth examination of the process followed to prepare complete bid document packages including specifications, construction drawings, and pay quantities, which are used for civil engineering projects. Information from several State Departments of Transportation are used in this course, but the course material is applicable to any state or region by considering local/state laws, regulations, and procedures. The course is limited to the preparation of the construction plans and bid document package, and excludes contract document preparation and execution of those documents. Emphasis is placed on soils and soil conditions, earthwork, and how contractors deal with problems associated with these items. This course is specifically oriented toward helping civil designers and project managers avoid situations which lead to construction claims, change orders, and lawsuits.
The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
