Hydraulic reports shall be submitted to the following offices.
1-3.3.1 Review Copies
PEOs shall submit a complete searchable electronic copy of the hydraulic report to the appropriate concurring authority (RHE and/or State Hydraulics Office; see Table 1-1) for review. To allow the most efficient hydraulic report review, PEOs shall follow the hydraulic review process outlined in Section 1-5. To allow the most efficient hydraulic report review, PEOs shall follow the hydraulic review process outlined in Section 1-5. Final concurrence of the hydraulic report will be issued once the report complies with the Hydraulics Manual and the Highway Runoff Manual and all reviewer comments are satisfactorily addressed.
1-3.3.2 Final Copies
Upon concurrence, PEOs shall submit a searchable electronic copy of the hydraulic report and the original concurrence letter shall be sent to the offices noted below. Electronic copies shall include the entire contents of the hydraulic report (including the appendices files) in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
1. Send one PDF to the Construction Office for reference during construction.
2. For water crossings documented in Final Hydraulic Design (FHD) reports, send one PDF to the Bridge Preservation Office.
3. For design-bid-build projects, the FHD report that received concurrence becomes the official record of copy. Along with the original concurrence letter, the PEO shall upload the FHD report to the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) application along with the Design Decision Package (DDP). If any stormwater or hydraulic change occurs that affects a hydraulic feature’s intended function and this change occurs after the FHD report concurrence (e.g., during construction or final PS&E), the FHD report shall be updated in the ECM to include stormwater and hydraulic changes per Section 1-3.4 prior to construction project closeout. Changes require approval from either the State Hydraulics Office or RHE depending on the report type per Table 1-1.
4. For design-build projects, the FHD report shall be uploaded to the ECM application by the construction project office.
