(If responsibilities fortesting of materials split between different organizations list which firm isresponsible for which QA tests.)[QA Lab name] personnel assigned to construction testing have received certifiedtraining from the [Name of appropriate certifications] (e.g. Troxler NuclearEquipment Seminar and the American Concrete Institute (ACI)).All QA testing shall be performed by an (ASTM C1077 and D3666) accredited laboratoryand a copy of the current accreditation shall be supplied to the Engineer and Owner, forapproval, prior to submitting test results.Laboratory accreditations for [Name of QA firms] and resumes of personnel areattached in Appendix A.3

QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTION PROCEDURES1. Quality Assurance Tests: A list of tests required by the contract specificationscan be found in the attached Appendix B. The list includes the referencedspecification section, responsible party and testing requirements. All parties willbe informed of their responsibilities. This information will be reviewed at thepreconstruction conference and monitored throughout the project.2. Submittals: The Engineer shall maintain a file containing certifications andsubmittals required by contract as provided by the contractor, as well asapprovals from the Engineer.3. The Project Manager or Assistant Project Manager will be on site at thebeginning of the placement of the: [subbase, base course, asphalt basecourse, asphalt surface course, and concrete pavement placement] for the[runway, taxiway and apron] initial installation of [runway lights, taxiwaylights, PAPI’s, work in electrical vault] and prior to and during initial installationof [runway / taxiway] markings.4. [Names of firm(s) responsible for QA test reports] will provide acceptancetest reports to the [Owner / Engineer] as soon as the results are available,electronically. Typed copies shall be made available within [one] working day[delivered via electronic mail].5.

Test Reports Which Require Corrective Actions: Should test results orobservations indicate noncompliance with the project contract, plans, orspecifications the following communication and follow-up action will beimplemented, as applicable: Verbal notification to the sponsor, Construction Superintendent, work areaforeman and/or plant operator. Calibration check on equipment used to determine the noncompliance item, ifapplicable. Confirmation of noncompliance through retesting and/or follow-upobservations. If a solution to the nonconformance issue is not reached in a reasonable timeframe, additional qualified contractor personnel will be contacted to assist inidentifying and correcting the problem. If a severe nonconformance problem is detected and a reasonable solutioncannot be implemented in a reasonable time frame, the ConstructionSuperintendent will consult with the Project Engineer and the work will besuspended. The work will not begin again until the Construction Superintendent andProject Engineer concur that a solution to the problem has been found andsuccessfully implemented.4

On restarting the work, the nonconforming testing element or observation willbe monitored at an appropriate higher frequency for a reasonable amount oftime, e.g. double the testing frequency listed. After the area in noncompliance has been repaired, acceptance retesting willresume. The test reports will include failed test number for tracking.7. Daily Reports: The project manager or his representative will maintain a dailydiary summarizing pertinent construction items. Items recorded shall include (asa minimum):a) Dateb) Weather Conditionsc) Brief Summary of Work Performedd) Number of workers on sitee) Type and Amount of Major Equipment being utilizedf)Running total of working/calendar days used on projectg) Significant Directives/Communication with contractor (e.g. regardingconstruction procedures or material quality)h) Summary of QA tests performed that dayi)Arrival / Departure Time On Site Inspection Staff8. Weekly Reports: A summary of weekly construction status shall be preparedweekly (on FAA form 5370-1 or other approved form) and submitted to [owner /FAA] every [list day, e.g. Friday]. Report shall include summary of workcompleted that week, summary of QA test results, discussion of any controversialissues that came up, work anticipated next reporting period.9.

The documentation shall be providedto the owner prior to the final acceptance of the subject pavement.12. The resident observer and acceptance testing lab personnel shall maintain allacceptance test reports and provide copies to the owner/engineer as soon asresults are available.13. [Name of firm responsible for final construction report] will prepare a finalproject construction material testing and acceptance report that includes asummary of: all acceptance tests results, quantity of materials, and all weeklyreports.
