Description
00165.00General - The Contractor shall incor porate into the Work only Materials conforming to the
Specifications and approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall incorporate into the Work only manufactured products made of new materials unless otherwise specified in the Contract. The Agency may require additional testing or retesting to determine whether the Materials or manufactured products meet Specifications.
Materials or manufactured products not meeting the Specifications at the time they are to be used are unacceptable and must be removed immediately from the Project Site, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
00165.01Rejected Materials - The Engineer may reject any Materials that appear to be defective
(see 00150.25) or that contain asbestos. The Contractor shall not incorporate any rejected Materials into the Work. Rejected Materials whose defects have been corrected may not be incorporated into the Work until the Engineer has approved their use. The Engi neer may order the removal and replacement by the Contractor, at the Contractor's expense, of any defective Materials. ( See also 00150.20. )
00165.02Materials Conformance and Quality Compliance Documents - For purposes of this
Section, "Materials Conformance Documents" means the Contractor's quality control, the Agency's verification, and the independent assurance test results, and the identity of the testing facility, as specified in the ODO T Manual of Field Test Procedures (MFTP), section 2, Quality Assurance Program , unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
For purposes of this Section, "Quality Compliance Documents" means those documents specified in ODOT's Nonfield -Tested Materials Ac ceptance Guide, unless otherwise specified in the Contract.
00165.03Testing by Agency - When testing Materials, the Agency will conduct the tests in its
central laboratory, field laboratories, or other laboratories designated by the Engineer, even though certain AASHTO, ASTM, and other materials specifications may require testing at the place of manufacture. Results of the Agency's tests will be made available to the Contractor.
00165.04Costs of Testing - When the Contract requires that the Agency perform the testing, the
testing will be at the Agency's expense. The Agency will pay the cost of Contractor -requested source- review tests on unprocessed Aggregates from no more than two sources for each Project, and on no more than three unprocessed samples from each source. Additional source-review tests performed at the Contractor's request shall be at the Contractor's expense.
Unless otherwise provided in the Contract, all testing required to be performed by the Contractor will be at the Contractor's expense.

will be verified by the Agency according to the Quality Assurance Program in the MFTP. If the Agency's QA test results verify the Contractor's results, the Materials will be analyzed for acceptance according to one of the following methods before the E ngineer will accept them for incorporation into the Work:
• Statistically, according to 00165.40, to determine "Pay Factors" for produced Aggregate; • Statistically, according to 00165.40, to determine "Composite Pay Factors" for mixtures; or • Other methods determined by the Engineer.
If the Agency's QA verification test results do not verify the Contractor's test results , the Agency may require additional testing to determine whether the Materials meet Specifications. The Contractor shall perform additional testing or provide samples to the Agency for testing as directed. If the Materials do not meet Specifications, the Contractor shall reimburse the Agency for the cost of the additional testing, which may be deducted from monies due or to become due the Contractor under the Contract. Incorporated Materials that do not meet Specifications will be evaluated according to 00165.01 and 00150.25. If the Materials meet Specifications , the Agency will pay the cost for the additional testing.
00165.35Nonfield -Tested Materials - The Contractor shall furnish Materials meeting
Specifications, along with all Materials Conformance and Quality Compliance Documents. Materials will be subject to acceptance testing if the Engineer so elects. The Engineer may reject damaged or non- specification materials regardless of the Materials Conformance Documents furnished.

00165.50 65 00165.50 Statistical Acceptance Sampling and Testing - The Contractor shall sample and test Materials for acceptance, as required by the Contract. The Contractor may statistically evaluate test results for purposes of quality control or to predict a Pay Factor or Composite Pay Factor. The following apply:
for acceptance and to determine a Pay Factor (PF) or Composite Pay Factor (CPF). The Engineer's determination of the PF or CPF shall be controlling.
will be based upon the following:
Material have a PF of 1.00 or greater, that Material will be considered specification Materials. For Materials accepted by a CPF, all Materials with a CPF of 1.0000 or greater will be considered specification Materials. Materials with a CPF greater than 1.0000, when specified, may earn a CPF adjustment of greater than 1.0000, up to a maximum of 1.0500.
Material has a PF of less than 1.00, that Material will be considered non- specification Material. For Materials accepted by a CPF, all Materials with a CPF less than 1.0000 will be considered non-specification Materials. A lot containing non- specification Materials will be evaluated as described in 00165.50(c).
any Material t hat the Contractor's test results show to be non -specification. The Contractor shall perform additional testing or provide samples to the Agency as directed. The Engineer will accept or reject the Material according to 00150.25.
which the Contractor's test results show the Material to be non-specification. The Contractor shall perform additional testing or provide samples to the Agency as directed. The i solated Material will be evaluated as a separate lot. The Engineer will accept or reject the Material according to 00150.25.
occurs:
• The CPF for a lot -in-progress drops below 1.0000, and the Contractor is taking no corrective action; • The CPF is less than 0.7500; or • Any constituent test is continually out of Specification limits, regardless of whether or not the CPF is below 0.7500.
The Contractor shall not resume production until the Engineer has determined that Specification Materials can be produced, and has given approval to resume.
between 0.7500 and 1.0000, or may take action ac cording to 00150.25.
For a lot of Material with a CPF below 0.7500, the Engineer will take one or more of the following actions: 00165.70 66
that may range from 25% to 100% (no payment);
appropriate price reduction that may range from zero (full payment) to 100% (no payment); or
Materials. No payment will be made for the rejected Materials, the cost of removal, or for the costs of sampling and testing.
00165.70Use of Materials without Acceptable Materials Conformance Documents:
Materials Conformance Documents acceptable to the Engineer. The Engineer may waive this requirement temporarily if Materials are necessary for immediate traffic safet y.
Project for immediate traffic safety before acceptable Materials Conformance Documents are available, no payment will be made for the value of the Materia ls, or the costs of incorporating them, until Materials Conformance Documents have been submitted to and approved by the Engineer, or the Materials are otherwise found through testing to comply with Specifications.
Documents are not available, the Contractor may either have the necessary tests performed at a private laboratory or request in writing that the Engineer:
• Determine if the Agency or its agents can sample and test; • Estimate the cost to the Contractor for the testing service; and • Estimate the time required to obtain the test results. The Engineer will provide this information to the Contractor in writing. If the Contractor requests the Engineer, in writing, to proceed, the Engineer will arrange for the sampling and testing, at the Contractor's expense. If these tests determine the Material complies with the Specifications, the Materials may be incorporated into the Project, or for Materials previously incorporated according to (b) above, payment will be authorized.
00165.75Storage and Handling of Materials - The Contractor shall store and handle Materials so
as to preserve their quality and fitness for incorporation into the Work. The Contractor shall restore all storage sites to their original condition according to 00140.90, or to comply with any applicable permits, orders, or agreements, at the Contractor's expense.
Stored Materials:
• Shall be readily accessible for inspection; • May be stored on approved parts of the Right -of-Way; and • May be stored on private property if written permission of the owner or lessor is obtained.
Measurement
00165.80Measurement - No separate measurement will be made of Work performed under this
Section.
00165.91 67 Payment
00165.90Incidental Basis - No separate or additional payment will be made for sampling, testing,
certification, or other associated Work performed under this Section, whether performed by the Contractor, manufacturer, producer or Supplier. No payment will be made for providing quality control personnel.
00165.91Fabrication Inspection Expense - Fabrication of certain items outside of the State
creates additional shop and plant inspection expense to the Agency. It is impractical, and extremely difficult, to deter mine the actual additional expenses incurred. Therefore, each time that inspection by or on behalf of the Agency is necessary, payment to the Contractor will be reduced by an amount computed at the following rates:
Zone Place of Fabrication Reduction in Payment 1 All of State of Oregon, and those portions of adjacent states within 50 airline miles of the Oregon border $0 2 Outside of Zone 1, and up to 300 airline miles from the Oregon border $200 per Calendar Day 3 Outside of Zone 2, up to 3,000 airline miles from the Oregon border, and within the continental United States. Round trip coach airfare from Portland, Oregon plus $200 per Calendar Day
4 Outside of Zone 3, or outside of the continental United States. Round trip coach airf are from Portland, Oregon plus $250 per Calendar Day
Calendar Day charges begin on the first day the Agency's Inspector begins travel to begin work at the fabrication site, and continue without interruption through the final day of travel back to the St ate. The Contractor will be notified in writing of the beginning and ending dates of the Calendar Days used in computing payment reduction.
This Subsection applies to all fabricated items or manufactured Materials that are inspected by or on behalf of the Agency, which include, but are not limited to:
• Structural steel fabrication; • Prestressed concrete members; • Precast concrete; • Signs; • Preserv ative treatment of wood products; • Epoxy coating of reinforcing steel; and • Other items specifically identified in the Specifications as r equiring fabrication site or in-plant inspection by the Agency.
