2024 CDOT FMM 7-01-2023 Introduction

2024 CDOT Field Materials Manual

Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide an official guide to CDOT Field Materials Technicians, whether the
individuals are CDOT personnel or consultant, for the sampling and testing of materials on construction
projects and the subsequent documentation. It is not the intent to publish a complete summary of all
sampling and testing methods and procedures. Further, applicable information may be found in either the
referenced AASHTO or ASTM documents.

The testing frequency as shown in the Owner Acceptance (OA) Frequency Guide Schedule for Minimum
Materials Sampling, Testing, and Inspection is the minimum necessary to have the degree of control desired.
The Sampling and Testing Procedures have in many cases been modified to make them more applicable to
Field testing conditions. Further unauthorized modifications should not be attempted. If a valid reason exists,
a shortage of tests can be explained, and the work accepted. However, improper test procedures cannot be
explained nor accepted.

The testing frequency as shown in the Independent Assurance (IA) Frequency Guide Schedule for Evaluation of
OA Sampling and Testing is to be established by the Region Materials Engineer.

It is not our intention to discourage efforts to find better or faster methods of testing. Many of the Colorado
Procedures are the result of suggestions from field materials personnel. However, before using a procedure
other than that listed, it must be approved by the Materials Advisory Committee (MAC) and the FHWA. In
addition, the procedure used must be the same as that specified in the project specifications. If this rule is not
followed, the acceptance or rejection action cannot be supported and may result in legal rulings against the
Department in cases of litigation. The Frequency Guide Schedule for Minimum Materials Sampling, Testing,
and Inspection current at the time of contract advertisement shall apply during the full course of that project.

We realize the critical importance of materials and the associated personnel, whether they are Process
Control (PC) from the contractor, Owner Acceptance (OA) from CDOT, or Independent Assurance (IA) to
any construction projects. We intend to create a Field Materials Manual (FMM) that always reflects the
most current and best procedures and is as user-friendly as possible. Please take the time to review and
read this publication and provide us with the Comment Corrections JotForm or the Adobe Pdf Comment
Correction Form at any time. To submit your comments or corrections download the Comment Correction
JotForm follow the link: Comment Form complete the form attach your documents and submit, a copy will
be sent to [email protected] for review. To submit your comments or corrections using the
Comments and Corrections Adobe Pdf form, download the form to your computer and open the form
using Adobe Acrobat. Complete the form and attach your supporting documents to the form and submit
the completed form to [email protected]. The forms with your comments will be maintained
with the FMM, CP, Section, or Chapter for future reference.

It is critical to follow the Documentation for SMM / LIMS – Project Materials to Final Materials or the
Documentation for Design-Build Quality Assurance Program - Project Materials to Final Materials which is
applicable for the vast majority of CDOT projects.

The CDOT Field Materials Manual has updated the Electronic Documentation Chapter to include the
owner Acceptance Requirements for Electronic Records and Electronic Signature Requirements.

Though the CDOT Field Materials Manual (FMM) has been available in both a published print format and on
the CDOT website; future FMM’s may only be available electronically as CDOT is moving toward a paperless
work environment. CDOT is also implementing electronic signatures to facilitate the timely transmission of
documents and project closure. Any changes before the issuance of the 2024 FMM will be conveyed through
a CDOT Materials Bulletin.

FMM Documents: A special thank you is extended to the members and participants of the MAC Meetings and
the associated task forces who are constantly striving to improve testing methodology and CDOT specifications
so that the roads in Colorado are progressively built better and are safer for the public.
