Section 50MR Control of Work
50MR-01 Roles, responsibilities, and authorities. Responsibility and authority with regard to this project must be divided as defined in this paragraph, except as indicated in the contract or other sections of these specifications. Reporting and communication must be organized according to Figure 1, except as indicated in the contract or other sections of these specifications.
Figure 1. Project Organization Chart
a. Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for completion of all aspects of the work in conformance with the plans, specifications, and contract requirements. Subcontractors to the Contractor are not recognized as parties to the contract. All communication with the Engineer must be by the Contractor. The Contractor is solely responsible for the Contractor’s schedule, means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction or the safety precautions incidents thereto.
b. Engineer. The Engineer must decide any and all questions which may arise to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, and as to the manner of performance and rate of progress of the work. The Engineer must decide all questions that may arise as to the amount and quality of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished which are to be paid for under contract. The Engineer does not have the authority to accept work that does not conform to FAA specification requirements.
c. Owner. The Owner must have authority to accept or reject any or all aspects of the work, interpret or otherwise answer questions concerning the plans and specifications, make changes to the plans and specifications, and make payment under the contract. The Owner must have unfettered access to the site for inspection purposes or other actions necessary under the contract.
The Owner must have the authority to suspend work in whole or in part for non-conformance with plans or specifications or for such period(s) as the owner may deem necessary for research purposes, by verbal notification to the Contactor.
50MR-02 Conformity with plans and specifications. All work and all materials furnished must be in reasonably close conformity with the lines, grades, grading sections, cross-sections, dimensions, material requirements, and testing requirements that are specified (including specified tolerances) in the contract, plans, or specifications.
Section 50MR Page 2 of 6 2/15/2022
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product not within reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications, but that the portion of the work affected will, in their opinion, result in a finished product having a level of safety, economy, durability, and workmanship acceptable to the Owner, the Engineer will advise the Owner of their determination that the affected work be accepted and remain in place. The Engineer will document the determination and recommend to the Owner a basis of acceptance that will provide for an adjustment in the contract price for the affected portion of the work. Changes in the contract price must be covered by contract change order or supplemental agreement as applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are not in reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications and have resulted in an unacceptable finished product, the affected work or materials must be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the expense of the Contractor in accordance with the Engineer’s written orders.
The term “reasonably close conformity” must not be construed as waiving the Contractor’s responsibility to complete the work in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications. The term must not be construed as waiving the Engineer’s responsibility to insist on strict compliance with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications during the Contractor’s execution of the work, when, in the Engineer’s opinion, such compliance is essential to provide an acceptable finished portion of the work.
The term “reasonably close conformity” is also intended to provide the Engineer with the authority, after consultation with the Sponsor and FAA, to use sound engineering judgment in their determinations to accept work that is not in strict conformity, but will provide a finished product equal to or better than that required by the requirements of the contract, plans and specifications.
50MR-03 Coordination of contract, plans, and specifications. The contract, plans, specifications, and all referenced standards cited are essential parts of the contract requirements. If electronic files are provided and used on the project and there is a conflict between the electronic files and hard copy plans, the hard copy plans must govern. A requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe and provide for a complete work. In case of discrepancy, calculated dimensions will govern over scaled dimensions; contract technical specifications must govern over contract general provisions, plans, cited standards for materials or testing, and cited advisory circulars (ACs); contract general provisions must govern over plans, cited standards for materials or testing, and cited ACs; plans must govern over cited standards for materials or testing and cited ACs. If any paragraphs contained in the Special Provisions conflict with General Provisions or Technical Specifications, the Special Provisions must govern.
From time to time, discrepancies within cited testing standards occur due to the timing of the change, edits, and/or replacement of the standards. If the Contractor discovers any apparent discrepancy within standard test methods, the Contractor must immediately ask the Engineer for an interpretation and decision, and such decision must be final.
The Contractor must not take advantage of any apparent error or omission on the plans or specifications.
In the event the Contractor discovers any apparent error or discrepancy, Contractor must immediately notify the Owner or the designated representative in writing requesting their written interpretation and decision.
50MR-04 Cooperation of Contractor. The Contractor must be supplied with an electronic PDF of the plans and specifications. The Contractor must have available on the construction site at all times one hardcopy each of the plans and specifications. The cost of reproduction must be borne by the Contractor.
The Contractor must give constant attention to the work to facilitate the progress thereof, and must cooperate with the Engineer and their inspectors and with other Contractors in every way possible. The Contractor must have a competent superintendent on the work at all times who is fully authorized as their agent on the work. The superintendent must be capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the plans and specifications and must receive and fulfill instructions from the Engineer or their authorized representative.
Section 50MR Page 3 of 6 2/15/2022
50MR-05 Cooperation between Contractors. The Owner reserves the right to contract for and perform other or additional work on or near the work covered by this contract.
When separate contracts are let within the limits of any one project, each Contractor must conduct the work not to interfere with or hinder the progress of completion of the work being performed by other Contractors. Contractors working on the same project must cooperate with each other as directed.
Each Contractor involved must assume all liability, financial or otherwise, in connection with their own contract and must protect and hold harmless the Owner from any and all damages or claims that may arise because of inconvenience, delays, or loss experienced because of the presence and operations of other Contractors working within the limits of the same project.
The Contractor must arrange their work and must place and dispose of the materials being used to not interfere with the operations of the other Contractors within the limits of the same project. The Contractor must join their work with that of the others in an acceptable manner and must perform it in proper sequence to that of the others.
50MR-06 Construction layout and stakes. The Engineer must establish necessary horizontal and vertical control. The establishment of Survey Control and/or reestablishment of survey control must be by a State Licensed Land Surveyor. Contractor is responsible for preserving integrity of horizontal and vertical controls established by Engineer. In case of negligence on the part of the Contractor or their employees, resulting in the destruction of any horizontal and vertical control, the resulting costs will be deducted as a liquidated damage against the Contractor.
Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor will check all control points for horizontal and vertical accuracy and certify in writing to the Engineer that the Contractor concurs with survey control established for the project. All lines, grades and measurements from control points necessary for the proper execution and control of the work on this project will be provided to the Engineer. The Contractor is responsible to establish all layout required for the construction of the project.
Copies of survey notes will be provided to the Engineer for each area of construction and for each placement of material as specified to allow the Engineer to make periodic checks for conformance with plan grades, alignments and grade tolerances required by the applicable material specifications. Surveys will be provided to the Engineer prior to commencing work items that cover or disturb the survey staking. Survey(s) and notes must be provided in the following format(s): drawings and plans as AutoCAD dwg (latest version) and equivalent plots as PDF; all other items as PDF.
Laser, GPS, String line, or other automatic control must be checked with temporary control as necessary. In the case of error, on the part of the Contractor, their surveyor, employees or subcontractors, resulting in established grades, alignment or grade tolerances that do not concur with those specified or shown on the plans, the Contractor is solely responsible for correction, removal, replacement and all associated costs at no additional cost to the Owner.
No direct payment will be made, unless otherwise specified in contract documents, for this labor, materials, or other expenses. The cost must be included in the price of the bid for the various items of the Contract.
50MR-07 Authority and duties of Quality Assurance (QA) inspectors. QA inspectors must be authorized to inspect all work done and all material furnished. Such QA inspection may extend to all or any part of the work and to the preparation, fabrication, or manufacture of the materials to be used.
QA inspectors are not authorized to revoke, alter, or waive any provision of the contract. QA inspectors are not authorized to issue instructions contrary to the plans and specifications or to act as foreman for the Contractor.
QA Inspectors are authorized to notify the Contractor or their representatives of any failure of the work or materials to conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, or specifications and to reject such nonconforming materials in question until such issues can be referred to the Engineer for a decision.
Section 50MR Page 4 of 6 2/15/2022
50MR-08 Inspection of the work. All materials and each part or detail of the work must be subject to inspection. The Engineer must be allowed access to all parts of the work and must be furnished with such information and assistance by the Contractor as is required to make a complete and detailed inspection.
If the Engineer requests it, the Contractor, at any time before acceptance of the work, must remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be directed. After examination, the Contractor must restore said portions of the work to the standard required by the specifications. Should the work thus exposed or examined prove acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making good of the parts removed will be paid for as extra work; but should the work so exposed or examined prove unacceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making good of the parts removed will be at the Contractor’s expense.
Provide advance written notice to the Engineer of work the Contractor plans to perform each week and each day. Any work done or materials used without written notice and allowing opportunity for inspection by the Engineer may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Should the contract work include relocation, adjustment, or any other modification to existing facilities, not the property of the (contract) Owner, authorized representatives of the Owners of such facilities must have the right to inspect such work. Such inspection must in no sense make any facility owner a party to the contract, and must in no way interfere with the rights of the parties to this contract.
50MR-09 Removal of unacceptable and unauthorized work. All work that does not conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications will be considered unacceptable, unless otherwise determined acceptable by the Engineer as provided in Section 50MR-02 Conformity with Plans and Specifications.
Unacceptable work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use of defective materials, damage through carelessness, or any other cause found to exist prior to the final acceptance of the work, must be removed immediately and replaced in an acceptable manner in accordance with the provisions of Section 70, paragraph 70-14, Contractor’s Responsibility for Work.
No removal work made under provision of this paragraph must be done without lines and grades having been established by the Engineer. Work done contrary to the specifications and instructions of the Engineer, work done beyond the lines shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer, except as herein specified, or any extra work done without authority, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid for under the provisions of the contract. Work so done may be ordered removed or replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with any order of the Engineer made under the provisions of this subsection, the Engineer will have authority to cause unacceptable work to be remedied or removed and replaced; and unauthorized work to be removed and recover the resulting costs as a liquidated damage against the Contractor.
50MR-10 Load restrictions. The Contractor must comply with all legal load restrictions in the hauling of materials on public roads beyond the limits of the work. A special permit will not relieve the Contractor of liability for damage that may result from the moving of material or equipment.
The operation of equipment of such weight or so loaded as to cause damage to structures, research test items, or to any other type of construction will not be permitted. Hauling of materials over the base course or surface course under construction must be limited as directed. No loads will be permitted on a concrete pavement, base, or structure before the expiration of the curing period. The Contractor, at their own expense, must be responsible for the repair to equal or better than preconstruction conditions of any damage caused by the Contractor’s equipment and personnel.
50MR-11 Maintenance during construction. The Contractor must maintain the work during construction and until the work is accepted. Maintenance must constitute continuous and effective work prosecuted day
Section 50MR Page 5 of 6 2/15/2022 by day, with adequate equipment and forces so that the work is maintained in satisfactory condition at all times.
In the case of a contract for the placing of a course upon a course or subgrade previously constructed, the Contractor must maintain the previous course or subgrade during all construction operations.
All costs of maintenance work during construction and before the project is accepted must be included in the unit prices bid on the various contract items, and the Contractor will not be paid an additional amount for such work.
50MR-12 Failure to maintain the work. Should the Contractor at any time fail to maintain the work as provided in Section 50MR-11 Maintenance during Construction, the Engineer must immediately notify the Contractor of such noncompliance. Such notification must specify a reasonable time within which the Contractor must be required to remedy such unsatisfactory maintenance condition. The time specified will give due consideration to the exigency that exists.
Should the Contractor fail to respond to the Engineer’s notification, the Owner may suspend any work necessary for the Owner to correct such unsatisfactory maintenance condition, depending on the exigency that exists. Any maintenance cost incurred by the Owner, must be recovered as a liquidated damage against the Contractor.
50MR-13 Partial acceptance. If at any time during the execution of the project the Contractor substantially completes a usable unit or portion of the work, the occupancy of which will benefit the Owner, the Contractor may request the Engineer to make final inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds upon inspection that the unit has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, the Engineer may accept it as being complete, and the Contractor may be relieved of further responsibility for that unit.
Such partial acceptance and beneficial occupancy by the Owner must not void or alter any provision of the contract.
50MR-14 Final acceptance. Upon due notice from the Contractor of presumptive completion of the entire project, the Engineer and Owner will make an inspection. If all construction provided for and contemplated by the contract is found to be complete in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications, such inspection must constitute the final inspection. The Engineer must notify the Contractor in writing of final acceptance as of the date of the final inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being unsatisfactory, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contractor must correct the unsatisfactory work. Upon correction of the work, another inspection will be made which must constitute the final inspection, provided the work has been satisfactorily completed. In such event, the Engineer will make the final acceptance and notify the Contractor in writing of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection.
50MR-15 Claims for adjustment and disputes. If for any reason the Contractor deems that additional compensation is due for work or materials not clearly provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications or previously authorized as extra work, the Contractor must notify the Engineer in writing of their intention to claim such additional compensation before the Contractor begins the work on which the Contractor bases the claim. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost as required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work must not in any way be construed as proving or substantiating the validity of the claim. When the work on which the claim for additional compensation is based has been completed, the Contractor must, within 10 calendar days, submit a written claim to the Engineer who will present it to the Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection must be construed as a waiver of the Contractor’s right to dispute final payment based on differences in measurements or computations.

Section 60MR Control of Materials
60MR-01 Source of supply and quality requirements. The materials used in the work must conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications. Unless otherwise specified, such materials that are manufactured or processed must be new (as compared to used or reprocessed).
In order to expedite the inspection and testing of materials, the Contractor must furnish documentation to the Engineer as to the origin, composition, and manufacture of all materials to be used in the work. Documentation must be furnished promptly after execution of the contract but, in all cases, prior to delivery of such materials.
At the Engineer’s option, materials may be approved at the source of supply before delivery. If it is found after trial that sources of supply for previously approved materials do not produce specified products, the Contractor must furnish materials from other sources.
The Contractor is solely responsible for the control of quality in accordance with Item C-100MR Contractor Quality Control Program (CQCP). The FAA reserves the right to verify material quality through independent testing and inspection of any material or item as part of the Quality Assurance Program.
Provide access to materials and facilities to the Engineer for purposes of sampling and testing. Except as indicated, Quality Assurance Program activities are the responsibility of the Engineer to be conducted at no additional cost to the Contractor.
60MR-02 Samples, tests, and cited specifications. All materials used in the work must be inspected, tested, and approved by the Engineer before incorporation in the work unless otherwise designated. Any work in which untested materials are used without approval or written permission of the Engineer must be performed at the Contractor’s risk. Materials found to be unacceptable and unauthorized will not be paid for and, if directed by the Engineer, must be removed at the Contractor’s expense.
Unless otherwise designated, quality assurance tests will be made by and at the expense of the Owner in accordance with the cited standard methods of ASTM, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), federal specifications, Commercial Item Descriptions, and all other cited methods, which are current on the date of advertisement for bids.
The testing organizations performing on-site quality assurance field tests must have copies of all referenced standards on the construction site for use by all technicians and other personnel.
Unless otherwise designated, samples for quality assurance will be taken by a qualified representative of the Engineer. All materials being used are subject to inspection, test, or rejection at any time prior to or during incorporation into the work. Copies of all tests will be furnished to the Contractor’s representative at their request after review and approval of the Engineer.
A copy of all Contractor QC test data must be provided to the Engineer daily, along with printed reports, in an approved format, on a weekly basis. After completion of the project, and prior to final payment, the Contractor must submit a final report to the Engineer showing all test data reports, plus an analysis of all results showing ranges, averages, and corrective action taken on all failing tests.
60MR-03 Submittals. Provide complete and sufficiently detailed submittals as indicated in the technical sections of these specifications to all the FAA to determine compliance of the indicated materials and methods with contract requirements. Prepare and submit submittals in accordance with Section 61MR Submittal Procedures.
60MR-04 Plant inspection. The Engineer or their authorized representative may inspect, at its source, any specified material or assembly to be used in the work. Manufacturing plants may be inspected from time to
Section 60MR Page 2 of 3 2/15/2022 time for the purpose of determining compliance with specified manufacturing methods or materials to be used in the work and to obtain samples required for acceptance of the material or assembly.
Should the Engineer conduct plant inspections, the following conditions must exist:
a. The Engineer must have the cooperation and assistance of the Contractor and the producer with whom the Contractor has contracted for materials.
b. The Engineer must have full entry at all reasonable times to such parts of the plant that concern the manufacture or production of the materials being furnished.
c. If required by the Engineer, the Contractor must arrange for adequate office or working space that may be reasonably needed for conducting plant inspections. Place office or working space in a convenient location with respect to the plant.
It is understood and agreed that the Owner must have the right to retest any material that has been tested and approved at the source of supply after it has been delivered to the site. The Engineer must have the right to reject only material which, when retested, does not meet the requirements of the contract, plans, or specifications.
60MR-05 Engineer field office. An Engineer field office is not required.
60MR-06 Storage of materials. Materials must be stored to assure the preservation of their quality and fitness for the work. Stored materials, even though approved before storage, may again be inspected prior to their use in the work. Stored materials must be located to facilitate their prompt inspection. The Contractor must coordinate the storage of all materials with the Engineer. Unless otherwise shown on the plans and/or CSPP, the storage of materials and the location of the Contractor’s plant and parked equipment or vehicles must be as directed by the Engineer. Private property must not be used for storage purposes without written permission of the Owner or lessee of such property. The Contractor must make all arrangements and bear all expenses for the storage of materials on private property. Upon request, the Contractor must furnish the Engineer a copy of the property Owner’s permission.
All storage sites on private or airport property must be restored to their original condition by the Contractor at their expense, except as otherwise agreed to (in writing) by the Owner or lessee of the property.
60MR-07 Unacceptable materials. Any material or assembly that does not conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, or specifications must be considered unacceptable and must be rejected. The Contractor must remove any rejected material or assembly from the site of the work, unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer. The Contractor is responsible for the cost of removal of unacceptable materials, including removal and repair of adjacent or subsequent work.
Rejected material or assembly, the defects of which have been corrected by the Contractor, must not be returned to the site of the work until such time as the Engineer has approved its use in the work.
60MR-08 Owner furnished materials. The Contractor must furnish all materials required to complete the work, except those specified, if any, to be furnished by the Owner. Owner-furnished materials must be made available to the Contractor at the location specified.
All costs of handling, transportation from the specified location to the site of work, storage, and installing Owner-furnished materials must be included in the unit price bid for the contract item in which such Owner-furnished material is used.
After any Owner-furnished material has been delivered to the location specified, the Contractor must be responsible for any demurrage, damage, loss, or other deficiencies that may occur during the Contractor’s handling, storage, or use of such Owner-furnished material. The Owner will deduct from any monies due or to become due the Contractor any cost incurred by the Owner in making good such loss due to the Contractor’s handling, storage, or use of Owner-furnished materials.
