2011 FHWA Implemented…… “Data –Driven, Risk-Based Oversight Process” Requirements have NOT changed, just the process to collect and monitor (and enforce)……. Still Based on NBIS…… 23 Different Metrics From: Qualifications of Personnel to…… Inspection Frequencies……

4 Compliance Levels…. Compliant Substantial Compliance Non - Compliance Conditional Compliance PPlan of Corrective Action Required Results can be Separated by “State” and “Local” Agencies, but Overall Compliance is State Wide…..

Metrics where Alabama needs to improve……. Inspection Frequencies - Metrics # Plan of Corrective Action in Place (2012) Load Rating – Metric # 13 Plan of Corrective Action in Place (2009) Fracture Critical Members – Metric # 16 Completed in April 2012 Scour Evaluations – Metric # 18 Plan of Corrective Action in Place (2009)

For Example…… Metric # 8 – Underwater Inspections – Low Risk 90% must meet Interval Plus 1 Month…….. 100% must meet Interval Plus 4 Months…… Metrics #9 – Underwater Inspections – High Risk Includes: Low Condition Grades (4 or below ) Scour Critical 95% must meet Interval Plus 1 Month 100% must meet Interval Plus 4 Months

So…… The 1 st of the Month….. ALDOT (Me) will review the monthly Planning Report If you have an Inspection 1 Month Overdue you will get an from Me….. Fix the Issue ASAP! If you have an Inspection more than 1 Month Overdue you will get a call from Me….
