OREGON DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
I. OVERVIEW
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has implemented a Quality Assurance (QA)
program approach that complies with the FHWA Guidelines for a QA program for construction
projects on the National Highway System. This program defines the responsibilities of the
contractor and ODOT in order to satisfy the needs of the program. This program is currently
used for all construction projects administered by ODOT or its consultants.
ODOT recognizes that there are other benefits of developing and implementing Quality
Assurance specifications into its construction program. These benefits include:
To improve the overall quality of highway and bridge construction; and
To place responsibility on the contractor for quality control in contracted work.
The success of the Departments Quality Assurance program is dependent on three primary
features. The first is the Laboratory Certification program, which is discussed in Section III of
this document. The second is the Technician Certification program, which is discussed in
Section IV, and the final feature is the specific product QC/QA testing plan detailed in Appendix
C of this document.
Quality Assurance (QA)
Quality Assurance is defined as: All those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide
confidence that a product or service will satisfy given requirements for quality.
ODOT has developed its QA Program, which includes three separate and distinct sub-programs
as illustrated below:
