• Abstract:
  In 2008, the FHWA Office of Infrastructure and the FHWA Resource Center developed the initial Quality Assurance (QA) Assessment evaluation tool to address the six QA program elements: agency acceptance, dispute resolution, technician certification/qualification, qualified/accredited laboratories, independent assurance, and contractor quality control processes. Additional assessments were conducted in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2018 with the FHWA refining the process over time to improve the quality of the data collected. The assessments contained items on effective practices by State departments of transportation (DOTs) as well as how State DOT’s QA programs addressed 23 CFR 637 Subpart B requirements. The QA Assessment was developed as a risk evaluation tool for both the FHWA and the State DOTs although the QA Assessment does not evaluate material quality or compliance with Federal laws or regulations. This report provides the results of the 2022 QA Assessment along with a trend analysis of the common topics evaluated since the initial 2008 QA Assessment.
