OVERVIEW
This resource has established the field testing guidelines to maintain compliance with 637B Title 23 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) while assisting Construction Field Crews and the Construction Division in administering a quality
construction project as it relates to field testing.

Sampling and testing on roadway construction contracts ensures that materials and construction methods conform to plans
and specifications. Consistent sampling and testing procedures are necessary to ensure quality materials and construction
techniques are provided to the Department.

NOTE: For more information regarding the Department’s Quality Assurance Program, refer to Chapter 4, “Sampling and
Testing”, of the Construction Manual.

TESTING

PROJECT ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Project acceptance testing (field testing) is performed during the progress of construction on the materials to be
permanently incorporated into the contract to ensure quality and consistency. In addition, some materials are accepted by
the Department with submission of Certificates of Compliance from the Contractor and/or producer of the material or
products listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL).

The Department is responsible for all acceptance testing; with few exceptions. These exceptions include the measurement
of pavement smoothness and the measurement of retro-reflectivity for striping. Project acceptance tests (field tests) are
performed by construction crew testers and/or the Materials Division using the Synopsis of Materials Division Testing
Manual for Field Testing or the Materials Division Testing Manual. To determine which test method revision to use on a
contract, refer to the contract advertised date found in the e-bidding portal and use the test method revision dated on or
before the contract advertised date. Tests are to be conducted at the appropriate locations and times using methods as
defined in the specifications. The Materials Checklist Letter provided by the Materials Division identifies materials
acceptance details for each contract. The Acceptance Test Summary Sheet (ATSS) shows all known, at the time of
publication, applicable minimum required tests needed for each contract. Unforeseen changes to existing materials and/or
the addition of new materials requiring testing will need to be addressed by the Resident Engineer. The Minimum Required
Samples and Tests: Project and Minimum Required Samples and Tests: Independent Assurance (IA) list the minimum
required frequencies for each material on each contract. To determine which set of “Project Testing Frequencies” to use on
a contract, refer to the contract advertised date found in the e-bidding portal and use the “Project Testing Frequencies” that
are dated on or before the contract advertised date. Refer to “Field Lab Record-Keeping” for specific requirements on
reporting test results.

INFORMATIONAL TESTING
Some materials will require informational testing outside the regular contract acceptance testing frequencies. Informational
testing is performed after the Contractor has submitted their test results to the Resident Engineer.

Examples of informational testing conducted by NDOT testers include but are not limited to:

 Aggregates to be submitted for mix designs.

 Aggregates produced for stockpile.

 Moisture content of aggregates.

 Hydrated lime in marinated aggregate.

FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
 Cement treated base mixtures.

 Concrete cylinders other than the 28-day curing period.

 Material taken outside the specified acceptance point.

RETESTS
For materials not complying with the specifications, the first retest of the unaccepted material should be run to determine if
the sampling and testing methods were correctly performed. Any retest must be taken from the same acceptance point and
be taken on the same material. If the retest produces comparable results, the Contractor shall use an appropriate method to
correct the unacceptable material. Per Section 106, “Control of Material”, of the Standard Specifications, the Contractor is
responsible for providing a quality material that meets the specifications and complete their own informational testing to
ensure conformance.

Before completing further retests, the Resident Engineer will make sure the Contractor made a constructive effort to correct
the unacceptable material. Repetitive testing, in an effort, to get a passing test, will not be allowed and is against the “NDOT
– Rights and Responsibilities” document signed by each qualified tester. After the second re-test, the Resident Engineer
should be communicating with the Contractor, regarding, not incorporating the failing material into the contract or removing
the failing material from the contract.

MISCELLANEOUS SAMPLES AND TESTS

The Construction Division, District Engineer or FHWA may request sampling and testing of materials or work that may be in
question.

ACCEPTANCE OF SMALL QUANTITIES

Small quantities are defined as 10 percent of the minimum required tests for that material.

EXAMPLE:
Bit. Ratio is required every 1,000 tons: 1000 x .10 = 100 tons

If the contract quantity is less than 100 tons, the minimum required frequencies can be waived by the Resident Engineer.

If a material meets this criterion, the Resident Engineer can accept the material on substantial compliance and not require
the minimum required tests. If the material is 10 percent or more of the minimum required testing frequency, then all
applicable tests shall be completed per the Minimum Required Samples and Tests: Project frequency table.

Notify the District IA Lab if tests are waived based on this criterion. This will allow the Lab to update its portion of the
Acceptance Testing Summary Sheet (ATSS).

NUCLEAR TESTING PROGRAM

The Department’s “Radiation Safety Class” is taught by the Corporate Radiation Safety Officer (CRSO) and covers all
policies and procedures required for storing and transporting of the Department’s nuclear density gauges. Each District
Radiation Safety Officer (DRSO) provides the “Nuclear Gauge Operation Class” giving proper training and qualifications for
the operation of the Department’s nuclear density gauges. The “Radiation Safety Class” and “Nuclear Gauge Operation
Class” must be taken and passed prior to transporting, storing or operating the Department’s nuclear density gauges.

TESTING PERFORMED BY OTHER DIVISIONS

MATERIALS DIVISION
Testing performed by the Materials Division is completed in accordance with the applicable section(s) of the Standard
Specifications and can be either source acceptance or project control, depending on the type of material and the required
tests needed to be run.

State of Nevada Department of Transportation Construction Division

2 Field Testing Guide

 FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
When submitting samples and/or material certifications to the Materials Division, verify they are accompanied with the
appropriate completed transmittal. (Incomplete/inaccurate transmittals will result in delayed test results.) Go to the Forms
library on the Construction Division SharePoint site [https://nevadadot.sharepoint.com/sites/040/FormServerTemplates/] for
transmittal forms. An accurately completed transmittal form can be found in the “Field Testing Guide – Part 3”.

The following list shows the different Labs within the Materials Division and which materials are tested by each one:

AGGREGATE LAB
 Borrow, select borrow, aggregate base, backfill, granular backfill, MSE backfill, drain backfill, riprap, riprap bedding, top
soil, screenings, deicing sand, plantmix bituminous surface aggregates, Portland cement concrete aggregates

ASPHALT LAB
 Refinery samples, asphalt cement, bituminous emulsion, bituminous cutback

BITUMINOUS LAB
 Dense-graded and open-graded plantmix bituminous surface mix designs, dense-graded plantmix bituminous surface

 Borrow, select borrow, aggregate base, granular backfill, MSE backfill

PAVEMENT ANALYSIS SECTION

 Final concrete pavement samples of Portland cement concrete pavement

STRUCTURAL LAB
 Concrete cylinders, reinforcing steel, metal fence posts, guideposts, chain link fence, corrugated metal pipes,
tensioning strand, concrete aggregates, slurry backfill, concrete cores

STRUCTURES DIVISION, NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING SECTION

 Structural steel: Inspection and testing during fabrication, welding, erection and/or paint application

 Post tensioning: Strand installation and testing, grouting

TESTING DISPUTES, RESOLUTION

The Contractor and Resident Engineer should discuss the appropriate corrective actions when materials or construction
methods do not conform to the plans and/or specifications.

When a test result is questioned or disputed:

1. The Resident Engineer should first conduct the test using a different tester on the same crew. If the results are still in
dispute, then the Resident Engineer will immediately request an audit from the District IA Lab.

2. If the results of the District IA Lab and field tester do not match, then each party will perform an additional audit. This
second audit will consist of the District IA Lab and field tester running the test, side-by-side and with their own
equipment. The District IA Lab inspector will then review audit findings and provide recommendations to the Resident
Engineer and field testers for implementation.

FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
3. If the first two steps do not resolve the dispute, then the Resident Engineer and District IA Lab will contact the Quality
Assurance Engineer to arrange for a three-way split that includes the Materials Division for referee testing.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM

The Independent Assurance (IA) Program is federally mandated by FHWA in accordance with 23 CFR 637B. The IA
sampling and testing program independently verifies the reliability of the results of field sampling and acceptance testing for
all NDOT personnel associated with NDOT contracts. The Construction Division manages and runs the IA Labs which are in
each District facility. Each District IA Lab is responsible for performing independent assurance testing on all contracts within
the District. To ensure an independent check of the field crew testing procedures, the District IA Lab and its staff are not
associated with any field crew testing personnel. IA Lab test results are not used for acceptance testing on any contract nor
to determine the quality and acceptability of the materials and/or workmanship.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE IA LAB

The IA Lab is responsible for auditing field testers in accordance with the Minimum Required Samples and Tests:
Independent Assurance (IA) frequency table. This includes but is not limited to the following:

 Maintain testing consistency throughout the state by verifying that NDOT’s testing procedures are utilized and
performed correctly by testing personnel.

 Perform visual audits.

 Perform direct split audits.

 Report the audit findings.

 Discuss the audit with the individual(s) whose testing is being audited and with the Resident Engineer before leaving
the job site (if corrective action is necessary).

 Perform follow-up audits as necessary.

Additional responsibilities of the IA Lab include but are not limited to the following:

 Verify that all personnel performing tests on NDOT contracts possess the necessary Nevada Field Sampling and
Testing Qualification Program (NFSTQP), Nevada Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction (NAQTC) or
Western Alliance for Quality Transportation Construction (WAQTC), and Nevada Concrete Qualification Program
(NCQP) or American Concrete Institute (ACI) qualifications.

 Provide annual training and qualification for field crew testers for the NFSTQP/NCQP written and performance exams.

 Verify that field lab safety procedures are being followed.

 Perform annual field lab:

o Safety inspections, on NDOT Form 040-055 (Field Lab Safety Equipment Inspection) by July 1 of every
calendar year.
o Inspections on field labs to verify equipment meets the requirements of the test methods and is in good
working condition. Document on NDOT Form 040-022 (Field Laboratory Inspection Report) by July 1 of every
calendar year.
o Fixed asset inventories conducted in January or February of every calendar year.

 Perform DRSO responsibilities.

 Review field crew test reports for accuracy and completeness.

State of Nevada Department of Transportation Construction Division
4 Field Testing Guide
January 2018
 FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
 Assist in annual equipment budget requests.

 Acquire and distribute testing equipment to field testers as needed.

 Provide equipment repair and maintenance.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE SAMPLES AND TESTS

The Minimum Required Samples and Tests: Independent Assurance (IA) frequency tables outline the materials to be
sampled, sample locations, tests to be performed by the IA Lab and the minimum frequency requirements. Use these
frequencies when field testing procedures (audits) are observed to be correct. Whenever these conditions do not exist,
increase the frequency of IA samples and tests to provide greater control.

District IA Lab inspectors sample each contract uniformly throughout the construction period. Since sampling depends on
how much material has been produced or processed since the previous sampling, IA inspectors stay informed of the work
on each contract using close coordination with the field crew testers to organize their work efficiently. The Resident
Engineer shall keep the District IA Lab informed of any schedule changes and coordinate completion of testing
requirements throughout the duration of the contract.

SPLIT SAMPLES
Split sample tests are the same tests that are run on regular contract samples. As a part of the regular IA sampling and
testing program, most samples are split regularly between the field testers and the District IA Labs (two-way splits) or
among the field testers, District IA Labs and a third party (three-way splits). The District IA Lab’s test results provide an
additional way to check the accuracy of the field testing procedures.

OBTAINING SAMPLES
Take split samples at the same locations as regular contract samples or obtain the split from the field testers. The sample
should be large enough so that each lab will have enough material for each required test. Coordinate with the field testers to
either obtain the sample from their field lab location or have the field testers deliver the split sample to the District IA Lab.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The crew field lab shall provide their completed test reports on direct split samples to their District IA Lab within 24 hours of
test completion. Audit results shall be reported by the IA Lab within 14 calendar days of receiving each split sample.

FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
When split samples vary more than the allowable tolerances, the IA Lab will confirm that tester(s) are following proper
testing procedures. The IA Lab inspectors will obtain and test an additional follow-up audit (if available). If the follow-up audit
still confirms unsatisfactory results, a meeting with the tester, Resident Engineer, the District IA Lab and the Construction
Division’s Quality Assurance Engineer will occur. If deficiencies continue, the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance
Engineer will meet with all parties to determine the appropriate resolution.

RECORDS
The IA Lab maintains accurate records to confirm:

 Proper frequency of splits.

 Splits are reported immediately.

 Corrective action is taken when necessary.

 Testing documentation is maintained.

VISUAL AUDITS OF FIELD TESTING PROCEDURES

The District IA Lab will visually audit field sampling and testing procedures to verify the accuracy of field methods. Audits
include:

 Inspecting any or all of the following:

o Sampling procedures
o Sample splitting procedures
o Sample preparation
o Testing procedures
o Calculations
o Reports
o Equipment use and procedures
o Field books and files (lab)

 Discussing the audit with the tester(s) who is/are being observed and with the Resident Engineer before leaving the job
site (if corrective action is necessary).

 Reporting the visual audit on NDOT forms 040-079 (Visual Audit Report Form), 040-089 (Visual Audit for Nuclear
Density Gauge - Plantmix) or 040-089A (Visual Audit for Nuclear Density Gauge - Soils).

 Verifying that field lab safety procedures are being followed.

A follow-up audit (if available) is required for any failing or unsatisfactory audit, visual or procedural, to verify conditions have
been corrected. If the follow-up audit still confirms unsatisfactory results, a meeting with the tester, Resident Engineer, the
District IA Lab and the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Engineer will occur. If deficiencies continue, the
Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Engineer will meet with the Resident Engineer and the Materials Division to
determine the appropriate resolution.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE FORMS

Complete IA audit reports daily. Consecutively number inspection IA audits for all types of material for each contract.

Use the following information when numbering audit tests:

State of Nevada Department of Transportation Construction Division

6 Field Testing Guide
January 2018
 FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
 For Compactions and Sieves: District number, abbreviation (IA), the material code (1B) and the consecutive number of
the test. For example, test number 1-IA-1B-40 on an audit report indicates District One, IA, Type 1 Class B Aggregate
and the fortieth audit for this contract. Numbering will continue for each material type regardless of the source.

 For Concrete: District number, abbreviation (IA), and the consecutive number of the test. For example, test number 1-
IA-40 on an audit report indicates District One, IA and the fortieth audit for this contract. Numbering will continue for
each material type regardless of the source.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE FILES AND RECORDS

Keep all IA audit reports on file in the electronic filing system chronologically by the type of material or audit. Distribute them
to all appropriate divisions within 14 calendar days of the receipt of audit material. Submit the IA audit results even if the
field tester has not submitted their test results to the IA Lab for comparison. Forward all completed audit reports
electronically to the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Section, the Resident Engineer, the Assistant Resident
Engineer, the District Engineer and the Assistant District Engineer. Refer to Appendix C of the Documentation Manual for a
list of inspection audit reports and the corresponding distribution.

SAMPLING AND TESTING FREQUENCIES

Every material must be tested and accepted based on sampling frequencies for each contract. These frequencies have
been established to help ensure consistency of the quality of materials and to meet federal requirements. If these
frequencies are not met, federal funding for the contract may be withheld. Processes to assist the Resident Engineer in
meeting the required frequencies are handled by the Materials Division and the Construction Division.

The Materials Division prepares a Materials Sampling and Testing Checklist which should include all materials required for
sampling and testing and identifies products and/or materials that may be accepted by a Certificate of Compliance for each
contract.

The Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Section receives the Materials Checklist Letter and generates the
Acceptance Testing Summary Sheet (ATSS) which defines the minimum required number of tests for each material listed
on the Materials Checklist. Both documents are distributed to the Resident Engineer before construction begins. The ATSS
is a working document to be updated monthly by the District IA Lab and the Resident Engineer until the contract work is
complete. The District IA Lab forwards the updated ATSS (monthly) to the Resident Engineer, and this information must be
included in the Resident Engineer’s monthly updates. For more information, refer to the ATSS process memo located in the
Construction Division SharePoint site’s Quality Assurance Documents library
[https://nevadadot.sharepoint.com/sites/040/QAQC%20Section/].

The Minimum Required Samples and Tests: Project and Minimum Required Samples and Tests: Independent Assurance
(IA) frequency tables define the minimum requirements for sampling and testing of materials. The sampling frequency may
be increased to ensure adequate control and may vary on some contracts according to unique conditions. Any changes to
the frequencies defined in the ATSS must be discussed with the Quality Assurance Engineer prior to making changes. The
Resident Engineer must address the reason for not meeting the frequencies on the ATSS appropriately in the notes (e.g.,
small quantity).

Except as provided in Section 106.05, “(Control of Material) Certificates of Compliance”, of the Standard Specifications, all
materials are inspected and/or tested for acceptance before incorporating into the work.

TESTER QUALIFICATION PROGRAM

In accordance with 23 CFR 637B, NDOT testers performing work on a contract shall be certified under an approved
program. The Department utilizes the following programs:

 NFSTQP
State of Nevada Department of Transportation Construction Division
Field Testing Guide
January 2018
7
FIELD TESTING FOR PROJECT AND IA
 NCQP

The NDOT qualification programs include written and performance examinations. Employees must successfully complete
the entire qualification program to become qualified testers. These qualifications are valid for 5 years.

All qualifications carry inherent rights and responsibilities. These responsibilities include performing and reporting test
results with accuracy and precision in accordance with the required NDOT test procedures outlined in the Synopsis of
Materials Division Testing Manual for Field Testing. Each tester will sign the “NDOT Responsibilities Agreement for Field
Testing” agreement when qualifying for NFSTQP and NCQP qualification. Failure to follow the testing requirements may
result in suspension from testing duties or other penalties.

Consultants and Contractors qualify/certify their testers under the following programs:

 NAQTC

 WAQTC

 ACI

FIELD LAB FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

The field labs belong to the Equipment Division and are assigned by the Construction Division to each individual
construction crew. The lab trailers are on a 20-year replacement program through the Equipment Division. The Equipment
Division, the Construction Division and the Architecture Division work closely to make sure acceptable lab facilities are
procured through the Equipment Division’s Annual Budget.

The Resident Engineer uses, and is responsible for maintaining, their assigned lab trailer along with the equipment
assigned to the lab. Only appropriate materials and approved equipment are authorized in the field lab. The Resident
Engineer is responsible for enforcing this policy. The District Engineer is responsible for the security of the field lab when
stored by the District. The Contractor is responsible for the field lab security at the job site.

A list of approved equipment utilized in a field lab can be found on NDOT Form 040-020 (Inventory of Standard Testing
Equipment - Construction Field Labs).

LAB REMOVAL AND SETUP

It is the responsibility of the Resident Engineer to prepare the lab trailer for site re-location and setup once it arrives at the
new site.

The following list will assist with this process if the lab trailer is being moved internally by the NDOT Equipment Division:

 E-mail the Equipment Division Superintendent with sufficient notice and cc: Construction Division’s Quality Assurance
Engineer and the local District IA Lab. In the request include:
o The address where the lab is being picked-up.
o The address where the lab is being delivered.
o Any sheds or cargo containers that need to be transported at the same time.
o The date the move needs to be completed.
o The contact person who will meet the transport driver at the pick-up location and follow to the delivery
location.

 Contact the local equipment shop via phone, e-mail or the local work order process. Notify them that the lab is being
moved by the following date and request a safety check of the trailer to verify it has working brakes, brake lights, tires,
etc., before the transport driver arrives.

 Remove and disconnect the power, water and portable holding tank either by the Contractor in accordance with
Section 628, “Mobilization”, of the Standard Specifications, or the local District Services via phone, e-mail or the local
work order process. This needs to be completed prior to the arrival of the transport driver.

 Remove heavy equipment from inside the lab trailer and secure any light equipment left inside the lab trailer from
falling and breaking during the move.

 Ensure all equipment - stairs, jack-stands, tie downs or chains, etc., outside of the lab trailer are removed prior to the
transport driver arriving.

 Meet the transport driver at the existing lab trailer location. Follow the transport driver to the new lab trailer location,
assisting the transport driver and to verify the lab trailer is delivered to the correct location.

 After the lab trailer has been removed from the former location, ensure all garbage and construction material has been
disposed of properly, leaving the old lab site in the same or better condition than it was found while satisfying any
storm water requirements.

 Once the transport driver delivers the lab trailer to the new location, set up the lab trailer. This includes but is not
limited to:
o Placing the jack stands in the appropriate locations, leveling the lab trailer and securely tying down the lab
trailer with tie-downs or chains.
o Placing the stairs, so they are level and flush with the lab trailer.
o Set up all lab equipment in the appropriate places inside and outside of the lab trailer.

 Ensure that the lab trailer has water, gas and electricity either by the Contractor in accordance with Section 628,
“Mobilization”, of the Standard Specifications, or the local District Services via phone, e-mail or the local work order
process.

The following list will assist with this process if the lab trailer is being transported and setup by a hired certified
manufactured housing company:

 If the lab is moved through mobilization on an active contract using a letter of authorization or contract modification –
the Contractor is a certified manufactured housing company or will hire a certified manufactured housing company to
obtain all necessary permits required by the State of Nevada Housing Division - Manufactured Housing.

 If the lab is moved through a service provider who is a certified manufactured housing company hired by District - the
certified manufactured housing company will obtain all necessary permits required by the State of Nevada Housing
Division - Manufactured Housing.

 The certified manufactured housing company hired will:

o Remove – tie-downs or chains, jack stands and stairs.
o Transport – lab trailer, tie-downs or chains, jack stands and stairs to new lab location.
o Setup – level lab trailer, place tie-downs or chains, jack stands and stairs.
o Occupancy – will do what is necessary (repairs) to obtain the permitted occupancy of the lab trailer

 Once the occupancy permit is obtained, setting up all lab equipment in the appropriate places inside and
outside of the lab trailer.

For assistance or more information, contact the local District IA Lab or the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance
Engineer.

LAB CALIBRATION
The Materials Division is responsible for scheduling an annual equipment calibration of the field labs with the Resident
Engineer. The calibration will be completed at the field lab site. Any time a lab is moved, the Resident Engineer is
responsible to contact the Materials Division’s Lab Services Section to recalibrate the lab trailer equipment.

The lab trailer must be setup, fully equipped and operational before the scheduled calibration. Failure to setup the lab trailer
properly will result in the calibration being rescheduled. Once the calibration is complete, a report will be sent to the
Resident Engineer and the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Section. Any equipment not passing calibration will be
repaired or replaced in coordination with the District IA Lab.

LAB EQUIPMENT REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

The Resident Engineer is responsible for maintaining a clean and safe lab facility. For any necessary structural or
mechanical repairs on the lab trailers, contact the local District Services via phone, e-mail or local work order process. For
repair or replacement of equipment, contact the local District IA Lab.

INVENTORIES
An inventory of all testing equipment for each lab trailer is conducted once a year (by June) by the Resident Engineer
assigned to the lab trailer and reported on NDOT Form 040-020 (Inventory of Standard Testing Equipment - Construction
Field Labs). Equipment assigned to the lab trailer shall not be transferred to another trailer without permission of the District
IA Lab.

For equipment over $5,000, the District IA Lab will schedule and complete the fixed asset inventories for the Equipment
Division once a year.

FIELD LAB RECORD-KEEPING

FILES AND RECORDS
Before each contract begins, setup the lab files in accordance with Chapter 2, “Contract Start Up”, of the Documentation
Manual. Use the Materials Sampling and Testing Checklist, ATSS and Estimate of Quantities to aid in this preparation.

When daily testing is complete, file a copy of the completed field test report(s) in the appropriate field laboratory files, then
submit the original field test(s) to the Office Person. Staple a copy of any retest to their corresponding original failed field
test.

FIELD LAB BOOKS

All field lab books will be written with pencil or red pencil. No pens, markers or highlighters shall be used.

Before each contract begins, set up the three required field lab books.

 Compaction Book

 Sieve Book

 Concrete Book

 Informational Book (if required by Resident Engineer)

Number each page in the book, 1 through 80, on the top right corner. Include a title page (this can be typed, or hand written
if it has the following information: State of Nevada, Department of Transportation, Location Description, Contract Number,
Project Number, Book Title and number and Name of Resident Engineer), a complete index and an initial key as shown in
the following field book examples. Use the Materials Sampling and Testing Checklist, ATSS and The Estimate of Quantities
to complete setup of the field lab books.

If the contract is small and all three books with the required information will fit, combine these books into one field book.

When daily testing is complete, keep a summary of all contract acceptance tests in the appropriate field books. This will
allow quick access to test results and frequencies. Circle all failing tests and areas to retest in red.

Submit all completed field lab books to the field office when the contract is complete. These books will be submitted to the
Construction Division’s Administrative Services Section upon contract closeout.

o Concrete Aggregates.
o Any other materials required on the contract.

Although other types of material will have different tests listed, follow the same basic arrangement for all
materials.

2. Include the following in each subsection:

o Test Identification: Consecutively list tests and identify each with the date and sample location.
o Results: List numerical results of all acceptance tests; however, do not list sieve analysis results screen-by-
screen. If all screens are within the specification range, note the results as “P” (passing). Contrarily, if any
one screen is out of specification range, note the results as “F” (failing). Explain all failures in the remarks.
o Retests and Remarks: Include the date and test number of the failing test(s) with an explanation of the
corrective action taken on the passing or failing re-tests.

3. List only acceptance tests in the Sieve Book. Keep summaries of informational samples in a separate book
(Informational Book), if required by the Resident Engineer.

4. Circle all failing test results in red pencil.

INFORMATIONAL BOOK
If required by the Resident Engineer, the Informational Book captures information like the other books, except the test
number is indicated by an “I” (instead of “T”) and is combined into a single book.

TEST NUMBERING
All construction materials incorporated into the contract that are required to be tested will be labeled with a test number.
Utilize the following information to correctly label each test completed on the contract.

COMPACTION REPORTS
Consecutively number soil compaction tests for a material regardless of the source. Code soil compaction tests as follows:

 The first number represents the test number.

 The group of letter(s) indicates the material used. Use only the codes listed in Table 2. Use of additional coding will
be approved by the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Section.

 The next group of numbers indicates the minimum compaction requirement as per the Standard Specifications for the
applicable material.

 When retests are required, a fourth group is added with the letter “R” followed by a number. This number represents
the retest number.

EXAMPLE:
If the test number is 218-S-90-R1, the code indicates test number 218, subgrade material, 90 percent
minimum compaction as required by the Standard Specifications, and the first retest of the area represented
by test number 218.

Consecutively number plantmix compaction tests for a material for all sources and mix designs. Code plantmix compaction
tests as follows:

 The first number represents the test section being tested.

 The next group of letters indicates the material used. Use only the codes listed in Table 2. Use of additional coding
will be approved by the Construction Division’s Quality Assurance Section.

 The next group of numbers indicates the subsection of the test section.

 There are not any re-tests on plantmix compactions.

EXAMPLE:
If the test number is 25-PM-1, 25-PM-2, 25-PM-3, 25-PM-4 and 25-PM-5 (this is one full test section, 1001
yd2 to 13,000 yd2 of plantmix on one form), the code indicates the test section number 25, plantmix material,
test subsection number 1 through 5.

If the test number is 26-PM-1 (this is a small test section, under 1000 yd2 of plantmix, on one form), the code
indicates the test section number 26, plantmix material, test subsection number 1.

SIEVES – SOILS, CONCRETE AND INFORMATIONAL REPORTS

For NDOT forms 040-010 (Daily Report of Tests Made in Field) and 040-035 (Report of Field Tests of Coarse and Fine
Aggregate for Concrete), consecutively number test reports regardless of the source. Consecutively number each of the two
types of samples, informational or acceptance, daily.

Code test numbers as follows:

 The first letter is “T” for acceptance test or “I” for informational test.

 The second set of numbers represents the daily test number.

 The third set of numbers represents the report number.

 When retests are required, the fourth set of numbers represents the retest number.

The following are examples of test code numbers:

 Acceptance Test Number T-1-31 represents the first test taken that day at the acceptance point on Report Number 31.

 Acceptance Test Number T-1-31-R2 represents the second retest, taken at the acceptance point of material previously
tested and pertains to Acceptance sample number 1, Report Number 31.

 Informational Test Number I-1-31 represents the first informational test taken on Report Number 31.

PLANTMIX BITUMINOUS SURFACE REPORTS

For NDOT Form 040-011 (Daily Plant Report of Asphalt Mixtures), consecutively number reports for all sources and mix
designs (PBS Type II, PBS Type 2C with RAP, PBS Type 3, Open Grade, etc.). Consecutively number each of the two
types of samples, informational or acceptance, daily. There are no retests on any types of plantmix.

Code test numbers as follows:

 Acceptance Test Number T-1-31 represents the first sample taken at the acceptance point on Report Number 31.

 Informational Test Number I-1-31 represents the first informational sample taken on Report Number 31.

REPORTING OF DAILY TESTING FORMS

Complete daily reports of test results for the day the respective work is performed. Refer to Table 3 for the applicable
report forms for various materials and tests. Completed test reports will be turned into the Resident Engineer daily
allowing them to see the material testing results. Within 24 hours of completing the test, notify the Contractor of the
preliminary test results.

The Resident Engineer’s office person checks the daily test reports. Then, the Resident Engineer reviews and signs
the daily test reports. The Resident Engineer’s signature confirms the daily test results are accurate and completed in
accordance with NDOT procedures.

Once the daily test reports have been completed, distribute them as detailed in Appendix C of the Documentation
Manual. Distribute all test reports within 7 calendar days of test completion. Give the final test results to the Contractor
as soon as possible but no later than 7 calendar days after the test has been completed.

Submit original field test reports to the District IA Lab. The District IA Lab will review the test reports and return any
containing errors or omissions to the Resident Engineer for corrections within 7 calendar days of receipt. Upon
satisfactory completion, the IA Lab will forward the original test reports to the Construction Division within 7 calendar
days for final review and filing.

NOTES:

1. If the maximum deviation specification is within tolerances, continue to use the gauge
correlation using the new Proctor Curve Compaction and Check Test results.
If the maximum deviation specification exceeds tolerances, re-correlation shall be
required or use the referee method using Test Method Nev. T102.

2. If the Check Test exceeds the maximum deviation specification and a new correlation is
to be determined, it is permissible to use the failing Check Test as part of the new
correlation process.

3. Even though the Check Tests are required every twenty-five acceptance test, this is a
minimum only and if anything is suspect additional Check Tests may be required.

I- TEST SECTION STATIONING

Ending Station - Beginning Station = length of test section
(EX. "Z" 126+50 - "Z" 114+00 = 1250' )

Length x Width / 9 = square yards for the test section

(EX. 1250' x 22.0' = 27500.0ft2 / 9 = 3055.6 = 3056yds2)

Total length (station to station) / 5 (total of subsections) = length of each subsection

(EX. 1250' / 5 = 250')

Beginning Station - the length of one section = parameters for the first test for the
nuclear gauge, repeat this five times
(EX. "Z" 126+50 - 250' = "Z" 124+00
"Z" 124+00 - 250' = "Z" 121+50
"Z" 121+50 - 250' = "Z" 119+00
"Z" 119+00 - 250' = "Z" 116+50
"Z" 116+50 - 250' = "Z" 114+00)
NOTE: If you are paving ahead on line add the length of one section. If you are paving
back on line subtract the length of one section

Beginning Station for each section - result from Column O = the station where the
test should be taken to the nearest 25 ft. for English
(EX. "Z" 126+50 - 144 = "Z" 125+06 = "Z" 125+00
"Z" 124+00 - 223 = "Z" 121+77 = "Z" 121+75
"Z" 121+50 - 166 = "Z" 119+84 = "Z" 119+75
"Z" 119+00 - 152 = "Z" 117+48 = "Z" 117+50

NOTES:

3. When figuring a test section that has a break in the stationing or an equation, figure
the test section as follows: "Z" 126 + 50 to "Z" 124 + 00 break in stationing due
to bridge "Z" 120 + 00 to "Z" 110 + 00
(EX. 12650 - 12400 = 250', 12000 - 11000 = 1000', 1000 + 250 = 1250' for this test
section.)

4. Small sized area is 1000 yd2 or less, it has its own test number 5-PM-1 and is on its
own sheet. If there is over 1000 yd2 it shall be made into a full test section. The only
way multiple small sections will be accepted is if they are approaches.

5. There should not be any informational test sections for plantmix compactions unless
the gauge is being correlated on another contract, or a road that is not on this specific
contract. If this is the case then the test section numbering will be I-1-PM-1 through
I-1-PM-7 and what transpired shall be documented under remarks.

6. There are no re-tests on plantmix compactions, refer to the Field Testing Guide - Part 1.

7. Correlate the gauge for each surface that is being paved (EX. paving on top of base -
correlate gauge, paving on coldmilling - correlate gauge, paving second lift of
plantmix - correlate gauge etc.).

LINE EXPLANATION OF NEEDED INFORMATION

N- Average, sum of the five cores divided by 5 to get the average of the Bulk Specific
Gravity (ex. 2.291 + 2.257 + 2.151 + 2.172 + 2.222 = 11.093 / 5 = 2.219)
Average, sum of the five cores divided by 5 to get the average of the Core Density
(ex. 143.0 + 140.8 + 134.2 + 135.5 + 138.7 = 692.2 / 5 = 138.4)
Average, sum of the five cores divided by 5 to get the average of the Nuclear Density
(ex. 143.1 + 139.7 + 134.7 + 135.4 + 139.5 = 692.4 / 5 = 138.5)

Note: From the initial seven cores taken, discard the two cores with the biggest
difference between the Core Density and the Nuclear Density. Use five cores that
are the most uniform to obtain the "Average of Five (5) Cores"

O- Remarks, anything that needs to be documented (ex. Correlation was completed on a

milled surface.)

P- Tested By, print first and last name of the tester or testers who completed the test

LINE EXPLANATION OF NEEDED INFORMATION

N- Calculated mineral filler percent used to marinate the virgin aggregate. This information
is determined by the bin percentages found on the JMF for this particular material per
Test Method Nev. T761 (EX. 18% - 1" Rock, 20% - 3/4" Rock, 16% - 3/8" Rock, 36% -
Crusher Fines, 10% - Sand (18 + 20 + 16 = 54 x .01 (found in the Standard
Specifications) = 0.54 36 + 10 = 46 x 0.02 (found in the Standard Specifications) = 0.92
0.54 + 0.92 = 1.46) NOTE: Each mix design or change to the job mix formula will result
in a change to the actual lime percent

O- Is the material marinated or not Mix Design for this specific contract will indicate if the
material is marinated or not. NOTE: Most bituminous plantmix products will be
marinated in Nevada (EX. Yes)

P- Actual Bit ratio for this mix design. This value may change based on the current Job
Mix Formula (EX. 5.30)

Q- Aggregate with lime from the calibrated hotplant coldfeed sample. NOTE: This will be
the actual weight of hot aggregate that you start out with to perform the calibration factor

R- Total weight of aggregate minus the lime, Line Q (Aggregate with Lime) / (1 + Line N
(Actual Lime % in Decimal Form) = Line R (Agg. without Lime (Dry))
(EX. 2348.7 / (1 + 0.0146) = 2314.9)

S- Total amount of lime in this sample, Line Q (Aggregate with Lime) - Line R (Aggregate
without Lime (Dry)) = Line S (Lime) (EX. 2348.7 - 2314.9 = 33.8)

T- Total weight of asphalt to be added to the sample, Line R (Aggregate without Lime (Dry))
x Line P (Actual Bit. Ratio in Decimal Form) = Line T (Oil) (EX. 2314.9 x .053 = 122.7)

U- Line R (Aggregate without Lime (Dry)) + Line S (Lime) + Line T (Oil) = Line U (Total
Material) (EX. 2314.9 + 33.8 + 122.7 = 2471.4)

V- Weight of the sample after mixing and weighing determined per Test Method Nev. T761
(EX. 2462.0)
