1.0 Purpose

To provide accurate and consistent inventory information and regular data on the condition
status of national bridges required in the Road and Bridge Information Application (RBIA) for the
operation of the BMS and that will serve as the basis in the selection and prioritization of bridge
projects for major maintenance and replacement/construction under various bridge programs.

2.0 Definition of Terms

Bridge Management System (BMS) is a computer-based system that keeps the inventory
information and monitors the condition of each national bridge.

Condition Inspection (Type 2) is a type of bridge inspection with a purpose of monitoring


and rating the condition of a bridge structure as a basis for identifying current maintenance
needs, and forecasting future bridge intervention requirements and estimating future funding
requirements. All information collected during a condition inspection is recorded or referenced on
a Condition Inspection Form (CIF).

Inventory Inspection (Type 5) is a type of bridge inspection with a purpose of obtaining a


standardized series of data items that enables the geometry, construction and function of a
bridge to be identified and described. All information collected during a bridge inventory
inspection is recorded or referenced on an Inventory Inspection Form (IIF).

Bridge Inventory & Condition (BIC) is a stand-alone utility program that will facilitate the
encoding of bridge’s general feature data, bridge’s element data (span, abutment, pier) and
maintenance data (routine and major).

CONFIRM is a database program that stores bridge inventory and condition data and guides the
DPWH Planning Service in the preparation of bridge programs.
