INSPECTED MATERIALS. The Local Government will provide TxDOT a list of the materials requiring inspection. Estimated quantities of each material will also be provided. The types of products and the extent of the inspections will be as agreed upon prior to commencement of any inspections. The level of inspection and documentation furnished for Local Government inspections will be as provided for typical TxDOT projects. TxDOT will only perform inspection services for the Local Government at structural steel fabrication plants, commercial precast prestressed and non-stressed concrete products plants, and other miscellaneous fabrication plants where TxDOT routinely provides such inspection and testing services for its own highway materials or for others. Out-of-state inspections for Local Government will be performed only when TxDOT has employees scheduled to conduct inspections for TxDOT projects at the requested locations, unless agreed upon otherwise. All out-of-state inspections will require reimbursement of the additional costs for travel (airfare, lodging, per diem, vehicle rentals, and other miscellaneous costs). Reimbursement will be requested through invoices from TxDOT. TxDOT reserves the right to prioritize or reschedule any inspection and testing services according to the following: • Inspection and testing services may be cancelled or deferred due to unavailability of TxDOT personnel to perform the necessary inspection • Inspections for the Local Government will be given lower priority than inspections performed by TxDOT for TxDOT projects • Inspections for the Local Government may be rescheduled to coincide with the inspection of products for TxDOT projects. The Local Government and its fabricators will abide by the Nonconformance Report (NCR) process utilized by TxDOT for disposition of products that do not meet the requirements of the Local Government’s specifications provided.
