SAMPLE<br />

▼ Once the cause of the failing test results is determined, appropriate corrective action<br />

will be taken (e.g. Add moisture, Regrade <strong>and</strong> compact. The failing Earthwork<br />

material will be reworked <strong>and</strong> three additional r<strong>and</strong>om QC tests will be performed<br />

for the Sublot. The results of the 3 additional r<strong>and</strong>om QC tests will be evaluated in<br />

accordance with the steps above until all 3 additional test results are within the<br />

Engineering Limits <strong>and</strong> the overall Percent Within Limits (PWL) for the Sublot<br />

equals or exceeds 85%.<br />

▼ Earthwork material that cannot be reworked to achieve the specified in-place density<br />

<strong>and</strong> in-place moisture content will be disposed of Off-Site.<br />

7.7 – Field QC <strong>Inspection</strong> Reporting<br />

All FQC inspection activities will be documented on the following st<strong>and</strong>ard QC <strong>Inspection</strong> Report<br />

Forms (IRFs):<br />

Form No. Form Title<br />

FQC-MRIR Field QC – Material Receiving <strong>Inspection</strong> Report<br />

FQC-IDR Field QC – Inspectors Daily Quality Surveillance Report*<br />

FQC-EBIR Field QC – Embankment <strong>and</strong> Backfill <strong>Inspection</strong> Report<br />

* For Off-Site Earthwork Producer material only<br />

A copy of the St<strong>and</strong>ard IRFs used for Field QC inspection of Earthwork materials is located in<br />

Appendix __ (see Note, page B–17).<br />

8.0 Acceptance of Work<br />

Transportation Agency is responsible for acceptance of all work completed. Acceptance will be<br />

based on the results of sampling <strong>and</strong> testing along with visual inspection. The procedures for<br />

acceptance of all Earthwork Items will be as indicated below.<br />

8.1 – Use of Quality Control Information for Acceptance<br />

ABC Contractors’ QC sampling, testing, <strong>and</strong> inspection results will be included in the acceptance<br />

determination provided that:<br />

1) All QC procedures <strong>and</strong> activities are completed in accordance with the requirements set forth<br />

in this QC Plan.<br />

2) Correlation Testing is conducted prior to production <strong>and</strong> placement of material.<br />

3) All QC test results used in the acceptance determination are from r<strong>and</strong>om samples.<br />

4) All QC information (sampling, testing, inspection) is Validated by Transportation Agency.<br />

5) All QC test results for each Quality Characteristic are within the Engineering Limits identified<br />

in Section 8.6 below <strong>and</strong> the Percent Within Limits (PWL) identified in Section 8.7 below.<br />

8.2 – Transportation Agency Acceptance Activities<br />

Transportation Agency will perform Acceptance sampling, testing, <strong>and</strong> inspection at a<br />

minimum frequency of 20% of the QC activities outlined in this QC Plan. All Acceptance<br />

sampling <strong>and</strong> testing will be r<strong>and</strong>omly performed independent of ABC Contractors’ QC<br />

sampling <strong>and</strong> testing (i.e. No Split Samples). Transportation Agency will establish r<strong>and</strong>om<br />

locations for Acceptance sampling <strong>and</strong> testing in accordance with ASTM D3665. All r<strong>and</strong>om<br />

sample locations will be documented on NETTCP St<strong>and</strong>ard Test Report Form D3665 or<br />

D3665RNG.<br />
