ODOT 2019 QC/QA SPECIFICATIONS

(used on projects referencing 2019 ODOT C&MS in the Contract Documents)

ODOT’s 2019 Construction and Material Specifications (C&MS) book is used on ODOT projects referencing the 2019 C&MS and its companion errata for updates/changes through Supplement Specification 800 by specific date. Like the 2013 and 2016  C&MS, projects bid under the 2019 specification will be identified as either concrete with or without QC/QA (pre-determined by designer based on quantities) for the QC class designations.

Any updates/changes occurring on items in the 2019 C&MS specifications book are identified in Supplement Specification 800 while updates to individual Supplements are modified separately with the new effective date which all supersede the existing specifications. These revisions had been introduced and accepted under ODOT’s Concrete Pavement or Structures Committee which Ohio Concrete is each active in.
