The current program of Quality Assurance Stewardship Reviews was established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in fiscal year (FY) 2003 with the purpose of assessing agency quality assurance (QA) practices. By the end of 2018, all fifty-two State highway agencies (SHA), including Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, had undergone at least one review. This Summary Report summarizes the findings of the twenty-seven SHA reviews completed in calendar years 2013 through 2018. Previous summaries of Quality Assurance Stewardship Reviews can be downloaded from https://www.fhwa.gov/pavement/stewardship.cfm. The Quality Assurance Stewardship Reviews were a joint effort involving the SHA personnel along with FHWA personnel from Headquarters, Resource Center, and the Federal-aid Division Offices. Materials quality practices were examined at the SHA’s headquarters, region/district, and construction project level locations. The observations and findings from the Quality Assurance Stewardship Review program continue to play an important part in FHWA’s oversight role. These reviews of SHA QA programs allow FHWA to identify and assess risks to the Federal-aid program. The reviews also provide an avenue to FHWA for the promotion and education of SHAs on new technologies.
