The engineer assigned to the project will work closely with the City and will provide support as requested. Construction Management includes providing engineering oversight to the project and City; meeting attendance, including pre-construction, progress, and final inspection; and submittal reviews for compliance with project specifications. Task 2 - Construction Inspection Services The Consultant will provide full-time construction inspection services to the City for the slurry seal, HMA digouts, Cape seal, leveling course, and HMA surface course for the project.

During paving operations for HMA digout, aggregate and subbase course, leveling course and HMA construction, the Consultant will provide inspection of laydown including monitoring thickness and temperature as well as placement of the HMA. In addition, the inspector will provide field density tests using a nuclear density gauge to monitor the contractor’s compaction efforts in compliance with project specifications and plans. Nuclear gauge correlation will be included. If the tonnage exceeds 1,000 tons per day, a second inspector will be added. If compaction fails during construction, the Consultant shall be equipped to provide, as additional services, the core density/ nuclear gauge correlation and/ or core densities to establish compaction as outlined in the contract documents. Quick turnaround time for this is crucial so that failed materials can be addressed as soon as possible. The inspection services will monitor the contractor for conformance to the contract documents. Daily reports will include an account of the work performed each day related to temperatures, thickness, and placement. Testing services include the field and laboratory testing necessary to assure that the contractor is providing a product that is conforming to the material specifications of the contract. Each inspector will also assist the City with other duties such as dialogue with the public, notification of Police and other City Departments when necessary.
