QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM
The purpose of this program is to provide assurance that the materials incorporated into the
construction projects are in conformance with the contract specifications. This program should
be updated every five years or more frequently if there are changes of the testing frequencies or
to the tests themselves. To accomplish this purpose, the following terms and definitions will be
used:
DEFINITION OF TERMS
• Acceptance Testing (ATS — Sampling and testing, or inspection, to determine the degree of
compliance with contract requirements.
• Independent Assurance Pro am (IAP) — Verification that AT is being performed correctly
by qualified testers and laboratories.
• Quality Assurance Program (OAP) — A sampling and testing program that will provide
assurance that the materials and workmanship incorporated into the construction project are
in conformance with the contract specifications. The main elements of a QAP are the AT,
and IAP.
• Source Inspection — AT of manufactured and prefabricated materials at locations other than
the job site, generally at the manufactured location.
MATERIALS LABORATORY
The City of Azusa will use a private materials laboratory to perform AT on Federal -aid and other
designated projects. The materials laboratory shall be under the responsible management of a
California registered Engineer with experience in sampling, inspection and testing of
construction materials. The Engineer shall certify the results of all tests performed by the
laboratory personnel under the Engineer's supervision. The materials laboratory shall contain
certified test equipment capable of performing the tests conforming to the provisions of this
QAP.
The materials laboratory used shall provide documentation that the laboratory complies with the
following procedures:
1. Correlation Testing Program — The materials laboratory shall be a participant in one or more
of the following testing programs:
Page 1 of 21
CITY OF AZUSA • •
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM, NNE 1, 2009
a. AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL)
b. Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL)
c. Caltrans' Reference Samples Program (RSP)
Certification of Personnel — The materials laboratory shall employ personnel who are
certified by one or more of the following:
a. Caltrans District Materials Engineer
b. Nationally recognized non -Caltrans organizations such as the American Concrete
Institute, Asphalt, National Institute of Certification of Engineering Technologies, etc.
c. Other recognized organizations approved by the State of California and/or recognized by
local governments or private associations.
3. Laboratory and Testing Equipment — The materials laboratory shall only use laboratory and
testing equipment that is in good working order. All such equipment shall be calibrated at
least once each year. All testing equipment must be calibrated by impartial means using
devices of accuracy traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. A decal
shall be firmly affixed to each piece of equipment showing the date of the last calibration. All
testing equipment calibration decals shall be checked as part of the IAP.
ACCEPTANCE TESTING (AT)
AT will be performed by a materials laboratory certified to perform the required tests. The tests
results will be used to ensure that all materials incorporated into the project are in compliance
with the contract specifications.
Testing methods will be in accordance with the CT Methods or a national recognized standard
(i.e., AASHTO, ASTM, etc.) as specified in the contract specifications.
Sample locations and frequencies may be in accordance with the contract specifications. If not so
specified in the contact specifications, sample shall be taken at the locations and frequencies as
shown in Attachment #1 (Appendix D, "Acceptance Sampling and Testing Frequencies" of the
Caltrans QAP Manual)
INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM QAP)
IAP shall be provided by personnel from Caltrans or the City of Azusa's private materials
laboratory. IAP will be used to verify that sampling and testing procedures are being performed
properly and that all testing equipment is in good condition and properly calibrated.
IAP personnel shall be certified in all required testing procedures, as part of IAP, and shall not be
involved in any aspect of AT.
IAP shall be performed on every type of materials test required for the project. Proficiency tests
shall be performed on Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent and Cleanness Value tests. All other
types of IAP shall be witness tests.

r PROGRAM,QUALITY ASSURANCE
zus
Poor correlation between acceptance tester's results and other test results may indicate probable
deficiencies with the acceptance sampling and testing procedures. In cases of unresolved
discrepancies, a complete review of AT shall be performed by IAP personnel, or an independent
materials laboratory chosen by the Agency. IAP samples and tests are not to be used for
determining compliance with contract requirements. Compliance with contract requirements is
determined only by AT.
REPORTING ACCEPTANCE TESTING RESULTS
The following are time periods for reporting material test results to the City Engineer:
• When the aggregate is sampled at material plants, test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand
Equivalent and Cleanness Value should be submitted to the City Engineer within 24 hours
after sampling.
• When materials are sampled at the job site, test results for compaction and maximum density
should be submitted to the City Engineer within 24 hours after sampling.
• When soils and aggregates are sampled at the job site:
(1) Test results for Sieve Analysis, Sand Equivalent and Cleanness Value should be
submitted to the City Engineer within 72 hours after sampling.
(2) Test results for "R" Value and asphalt concrete extraction should be submitted to the
City Engineer within 96 hours after sampling.
When sampling products such as Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), cement -treated base (CTB),
hot mix asphalt (HMA), and other such materials; the time of such sampling shall be varied with
respect to the time of the day insofar as possible, in order to avoid a predictable sampling
routine. The reporting of AT results, if not performed by the City Engineer's staff, shall be done
on an expedited basis such as by e-mail, fax, or telephone.
TESTING MANUFACTURED MATERIALS
During the Design phase of the project, the Project Engineer may submit a "Source Inspection
Request", see Attachment #2 (Exhibit 16-V of the LAPM) to the City, consultant, or Caltrans for
inspection and testing of manufactured and prefabricated materials by their materials laboratory.
A list of materials that can be typically accepted on the basis of certificates of compliance during
construction is found in Attachment #3 (Appendix F of the Caltrans QAP .Manual). All
certificates of compliance shall conform to the requirements of the contract specifications, for
examples see Attachment #4 (Appendix J of the Caltrans QAP Manual).
Should the City request Caltrans to conduct the source inspection, and the request is accepted, all
sampling, testing, and acceptance of manufactured and prefabricated materials will be performed
by Caltrans' Office of Materials Engineering and Testing Services.

CITY OF AZUSA • •
QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM, JUNE 1, 2009
For federal -aid projects on the National Highway System (NHS), Caltrans will assist in
certifying the materials laboratory, and the acceptance samplers and testers. For Federal -aid
projects off the NHS, Caltrans may be able to assist in certifying the materials laboratory, and the
acceptance samplers and testers.
PROJECT CERTIFICATION
Upon completion of a Federal -aid project, a "Materials Certificate" shall be completed by the
City Engineer. The City shall include a "Materials Certificate" in the Report of Expenditures
submitted to the Caltrans District Director, Attention: District Local Assistance Engineer. A copy
of the "Materials Certificate" shall also be included in the City's construction records. The City
Engineer shall sign the certificate. All materials incorporated into the work which did not
conform to specifications must be explained and justified on the "Materials Certification",
including changes by virtue of contract change orders. See Attachment #5 for an example
(Appendix K of the Caltrans QAP Manual).
RECORDS
All material records of samples and tests, material releases and certificates of compliance for the
construction project shall be incorporated into the project file. If a Federal -aid project:
The files shall be organized as described in Section 16.8 "Project Files" of the Local
Assistance Procedures Manual.
It is recommended that the complete project file be available at a single location for
inspection by Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) personnel.
The project files shall be available for at least three years following the date of final project
voucher.
The use of a "Log Summary", as shown in Attachment 46 (Appendix H of the Caltrans QAP
Manual), facilitates reviews of material sampling and testing by Caltrans and FHWA, and
assists the City Engineer in tracking the frequency of testing
When two or more projects are being furnished identical materials simultaneously from the same
plant, it is not necessary to take separate samples or perform separate tests for each project;
however, copies of the test reports are to be provided for each of the projects to complete the
records.
