This Guide provides a summary of acceptance documents for frequently used items. New materials or materials which are infrequently used may
not be listed in this Guide. Consult the Contract Documents for acceptance documentation for these items.
This Guide does not have precedence over the Special Provisions, Contract Plans, or Standard Specifications.
E - Equipment Lists and Drawings / Procedures
L - ODOT Materials Laboratory or Inspection Report
W - Warranty (Manufacture or Workmanship)
F - Field Inspection Report (FIR)

O - Certificate of Materials Origin (00160.20 for Federal Aid projects)
BG Blue and Green Sheets (see section 00960, 00970 or 00990)
P Proof of License or Apprentice Application

Q - Quality Compliance Certificate The Certificate from the manufacturer shall: Certify that the material meets the contract requirements and identify the
specified test methods used by number (ODOT, AASHTO, ASTM, UL or other) Permit positive determination that material delivered to the project is the same
material covered by the certificate Be delivered to the Engineers representative with the shipment of the material, or be an identification plate or mark, decal,
sticker, label, or tag attached to the container or material.
T Test Results Certificate The Certificate from the manufacturer shall: Certify that the material has been sampled and tested and that the test results meet
the Specifications Include a copy of the test results (ODOT,AASHTO,ASTM,UL, or other) Identify the testing agency and the representative responsible for the
rest results Permit positive determination that material delivered to the project is the same material covered by the certificate Be delivered to the Engineer with
the shipment of the material.
QPL For some materials this Guide will refer to the QPL. In the QPL there is a column labeled List. If there is an A in that column for the particular item you
are looking up, no sampling or testing is required, it is approved for use. Simply document in an FIR your recognition of the product and its existence on the
Approved A List. Material listed as approved (A) on the current Qualified Products List (QPL) fulfill the requirements for a Quality Compliance Certificate (Q) for
acceptance. When approval is given to use a product that is not listed on the current QPL, a Contract Change Order will need to be executed and a
Quality Compliance Certificate will be required. The Agency may require testing.
If there is a Q in that column the product is Qualified and is suitable for use in that specific category. Job Control testing or additional certification may still be
necessary. Consult the Contract documents for further information.
Small Quantity - a method for accepting relatively small quantities of materials as noted in this Guide without normal sampling and testing. Normal acceptance of
materials may be waived by the Project Manager when requested in writing by the Contractor. Small Quantity acceptance requirements are listed in the

NFTMAG Exercise
Determine Required Acceptance Documents
Situation: You are the inspector on a bridge project which will be placing
cast in place footings, columns and deck. The reinforcement required
includes uncoated black reinforcement and coated reinforcement.
A shipment of black reinforcement has arrived on site. You have checked

the reinforcement markings and found that the reinforcement is on the
ODOT QPL. What Acceptance Documents are required in this case?
_________________________________
Later in the week a shipment of coated reinforcement arrives on site. You

have checked the reinforcement markings and found that the reinforcement
is on the ODOT QPL. What Acceptance Documents are required in this
case?
_________________________________
The columns that will be constructed require mechanical reinforcement

splices. The supplied mechanical splices are NOT on the ODOT QPL. What
Acceptance Documents are required in this case?
_________________________________
While checking the deck reinforcement you have determined the contractor
is short of the required number of uncoated black reinforcing bars. Two
days later the required black reinforcement bars arrive on site but are NOT
on the ODOT QPL. What Acceptance Documents are required in this case?

Distances
Lengths are divided into 100 foot long sections
called stations.
Interval stakes along an established line are
ordinarily laid down at 100 foot intervals called
full stations.
If a marker stake is placed elsewhere along the
line, it is called a plus station.
Example: A point half way between

station 10 & 11 is labeled 10+50
Station Equation Example

Const Line has equation 10+50Bk=10+80Ah
Bent 1 has station of 10+00
