Which option lists the five duties of the Bridge Inspection Team?

• A. Plan Inspection, Prepare Inspection, Perform Inspection, Prepare Report, Identify Maintenance and Repairs
• B. Plan Inspection, Prepare Budget, Perform Inspection, Submit Reports, Order Materials
• C. Inspect, Design, Build, Operate, Maintain
• D. Schedule Inspections, Assign Crews, Train Staff, Inspect

Answer: (A)

The five duties map out a practical workflow for conducting bridge inspections: plan the inspection, prepare for it, perform the inspection itself, prepare the report, and identify maintenance and repairs. Planning sets the scope, safety measures, access, and methods so everyone knows what will be done and how. Preparation makes sure the team has the right tools, access, and data collection procedures in place before you start. Performing is the actual data gathering and condition observations of bridge components. Preparing the report communicates what was found, documents conditions, and outlines recommended actions. Finally, identifying maintenance and repairs takes those findings and translates them into concrete needs and priorities for upkeep or rehabilitation. The other options mix in budgeting, scheduling, training, or design activities, or omit essential steps like reporting, so they don’t align with the established sequence of duties for an inspection team.
