BID SUBMISSION

ESTIMATE PAYMENTS

GENERAL ESTIMATE PAYMENT WORKFLOW – PRIOR TO 10/1/18

Project personnel follow our estimate cutoff schedule which usually occurs every other Friday at Close of Business (COB). By COB of the following Wednesday, the District is required to conduct the following;

1) Generate the estimate for the project

2) Place the estimate into approval phase in Site Manager (SM)

3) Project Supervisor approval of estimate

4) Construction Engineer approval of estimate

5) Office Manager approval of estimate

6) The Office Manager then prints and scans estimate into a program called Application Extender

7) The Office Manager also has to “receipt” amount to be paid in our legacy system called REMIS.

8) The Estimate then is in Finance Division for scrutiny through at least two separate offices and the office of Business Manager and Budget Division

9) The Estimates when approved from step (8) are interfaced into OASIS (nightly) as a General Accounting Expenditure (GAX) document

10) The GAX document then goes to the West Virginia State Auditor’s Office (WVSAO) for their scrutiny.

11) When WVSAO approves estimate it then goes to WV Treasury to be paid

GENERAL ESTIMATE PAYMENT WORKFLOW AFTER 10/1/18 OASIS Go Live

Step 1) thru Step 5) remain unchanged (District approvals)

Then automated interface to OASIS

Step 8) thru Step 11) similar approval process in OASIS

A few less steps to the process, and hopefully more transparent and efficient

Time will tell…

MATERIALS UPDATE



Independent Assurance (IA)

WVDOH IA History

1) The IA program pertained exclusively to WVDOH sampling and testing (Acceptance Sample).

2) The IA program incorporated a project approach.

3) Included only projects on the NHS.

4) IA sampling frequency was 10% of Acceptance Samples.

5) IA materials: asphalt, concrete, and aggregate.

FHWA Process Review

Because contractor samples (Quality Control) are used for acceptance the WVDOH IA program must incorporate Quality Control sampling and testing.

Proposed IA Changes

1) The IA program will go from a project approach to a system approach.

2) A system approach checks the active material samplers and testers.

3) The frequency is a percent of the total number of material samplers and testers.

4) States typically set a goal of 90% .

5) Tie the technician and inspector certifications into the IA program.

Asphalt

1) WVDOH performs all acceptance sampling and testing on PWLprojects.

2) Projects on the NHS are predominately PWL projects.

Concrete

1) Have IA testing dates throughout the year and state.

2) Testing at each District once per year.

3) Slump and air testing.

Aggregate

1) Perform AASHTOResource (AMRL) aggregate proficiency samples.

2) Gradation/Sieve Analysis.

PAVEMENTS UPDATE



Percent Within Limits

• All NHS Routes

• We have some work to do getting our Designers to make sure that

it’s reasonable. (ie, not 1,100 tons of skip paving)

• Half of the GARVEE projects are using PWL

• Many projects have not been complete to date

• 5 - 2 lane NHS (complete)

• Test Results are promising

Section 720 Specification

• Is the department supposed to be IRI data in all jobs when the

spec applies?

• Yes.

• What happens if the department fails to test the project prior to paving?

Section 720 Specification

• Does Section 720 apply to Purchase Orders?

• If the PO contract references the 2018 Supplemental Specification

Friction Research• West Virginia DOH has partnered with the National Center for

Asphalt Technology (NCAT) to test increased percentages of

Dolomitic Limestone in our asphalt mixes. Two sections of the

NCAT track will have mixes from WV with aggregate donated

by our aggregate suppliers. Extensive laboratory testing will

be done with varying percentages as well.

Update to Soundness Materials Procedure

• MP 703.00.22 was last updated in 1995

• Currently the 2018 update has passed the MP committee and

is awaiting FHWA approval

Compaction Testing

• A proposal was made to return to a procedure which

utilizes lot by lot testing with the target density

established from a roller pass procedure. Any thoughts

or updates on this subject and proposal?

• We have reached out to others on this type of procedure.

We’ve not yet compiled the input.
