Draft Project Quality Management Handbook, January 2008, (pdf)
Over the past few years the Department has been working to standardize and document Quality Management processes for State highway projects.
A statewide team has prepared a draft handbook, Project Quality Management Handbook for managing quality activities on State Highway projects. This is a handbook for the management of project quality, not a detailed quality manual.
Please review the draft and submit recommended changes to the team leader, Dave Casey. Dave's e-mail is: david.casey@dot.ca.gov. To facilitate the handling of your recommendations, please use the attached spreadsheet: QM Handbook Amendment Form for your response.
The deadline for receiving amendments and comments is April 18, 2008. If you have any questions, contact Dave Casey by e-mail or by phone at 916 653-1393.
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
