1 I. Construction Inspection Grading and Base, Bituminous and Concrete 1. For this Program, inspection work is intended to assure that grading and base, bituminous and concrete work performed on state construction projects are in compliance with the Contract documents, construction Plan, Contract Special Provisions, MnDOT Standard Specifications for Construction, MnDOT policies, procedures and standards, and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines, as well as any other applicable laws. On-site construction inspection is provided on a full time basis during construction activities. 2. The work includes resolution of field problems as quickly as possible. Generally, field problems are any types of difficulties encountered during construction through circumstances that require some degree of engineering evaluation and decision. Field problems may involve situations such as: plan omissions, out of tolerance work, out of specification materials, structural defects, accidental damage, underground obstructions, etc. These problems may have a significant impact on the execution, progress or cost of the project. It is therefore of paramount importance that they be resolved expeditiously. Standards and specifications required for a project under this Program may include the following: 1. All work performed in accordance with Contract documents and applicable specifications, rules & regulations 2. Field operations in accordance with OSHA regulations and accepted safety practices 3.
