Steel Fabrication Quality Assurance Inspection Services

The Nebraska-based government authority is seeking professional services for steel fabrication quality assurance inspection services. The agency needs to ensure the quality of inspection procedures for the fabrication of steel girders at the plants of bridge girder suppliers. This initiative solves the problem of verifying that bridge girder fabrication conforms strictly to project requirements and safety standards. The scope of work covers the review of applicable welding procedures, welder certifications, and submitted material test records. Selected inspectors must review fabrication operations for conformance and monitor welding operations to ensure proper welding procedure parameters are maintained. The work also requires periodic reviews during welding, visual reviews of completed weldments for compliance prior to non-destructive evaluation, and the inspection of given camber allowances in the final laydown of girders. Additionally, the inspector must review all required remedial actions and record repair procedures. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite at the supplier plants. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The authority is establishing a contract period that will run for three years. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 17, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's ability to fulfill these quality assurance and inspection requirements.
