Turnpike Disposition of Defective Materials Guide
Problem Statement
Turnpike experiences a lack of uniformity in dealing with the quality issues for ongoing construction
projects. The nature of the quality issues differ from singular unique circumstances to oft‐repeated
errors. Project disputes and delays may result from differing approaches to communicating and dealing
with correcting the quality issues. This may lead to confusion, mistrust, less than optimal decision
making, less than deserved quality of materials left in place, reduced service life, and above normal
maintenance.
Vision
Leave in place good materials that do not meet our specifications, remove unacceptably poor materials.
Do this in a businesslike manner with cooperative efforts from all stakeholders, Materials, Construction,
Other Units, CEIs, and Contractors.
Goals
Speed the DDM process.
Define lines of responsibility for DDMs between Materials, Construction, and other units.
Leave good quality materials in‐place and remove poor quality materials from projects.
Foster problem solving communications with PMs, CEIs, Materials Managers (MM), and QC.
Resolution of non‐conformance issues.
Actions
1. Provide a list of examples for guidance on when DDMs are needed and not needed.
2. Provide a guidance flow chart of the DDM process as Turnpike envisions it.
3. Provide a DDM guide for Project Managers, CEIs, and MM.
4. Make the guide a discussion topic at pre‐operations meetings, partnering meetings, and similar
opportunities.
5. Produce a DDM tracking system available to MM, PM, and CEI.
6. Produce a construction non‐conformance issue tracking system, available to MM, PM, and CEI.

Why Use this Guide?
This is a systematic guide beginning with a simple identification of the need to pursue the DDM route to
using a forensic engineering approach to investigating and resolving non‐compliant materials
incorporated in our projects. This guide also addresses construction related non‐conformance issues.
Use this guide to speed the process. As an alternative, you may also pursue alternative routes of your
our design. Our experience shows most of the alternative routes are seeded with delays, lowered trust,
and lower quality alternatives than taking the less stress way this guide recommends.
The guide is essential for those with limited experience or bad experiences dealing with non‐conforming
work included in their projects. Confusion and misunderstandings about the minimum acceptable levels
of work will add direct and indirect costs to the project. Dealing with the issues early, quickly, and
effectively will allow all stakeholders to redirect their undivided attention to completing the project
successfully. Here are a few examples of poor practices that motivated our team to produce this guide.
Examples of Poor Practices Dealing with Defective Materials
1. Ignoring the failure, maybe it will go away
2. That was a subcontractor; you will have to resolve it with them.
3. Completing an EAR before any scope is approved.
4. That is not what we did before. (pick a location)
5. I will clear all that up at the end of the project.
6. You only need (pick a number) anyway.
7. That is not how we bid it.
8. Cover it over as quickly as possible.
9. That stuff always fails.
10. Not using a Registered Engineer as a specialty engineer.
11. You already paid for the stuff we are taking out so we do not have to abide any
specifications for the stuff we put back free.
12. Ignore it at the weekly progress meetings for two years. Or promise to get to it for two
years worth of progress meetings.
13. Find some extra concrete cylinders and test them as the replacements for the cylinders
you lost last year.
14. Do not call anyone, just fix it. (This may work if the fix is OK)
15. Ignore all indications that the work is not acceptable and punt.

How to Use this Guide This guide contains a compiled body of knowledge from our experience with best practices. The
contents represent a Turnpike Focus Group’s extensive exposure to varied degrees of success with
handling dispositions of defective materials (DDM). It is intended to help navigate the various channels
of communication needed to reach the goal of agreement and avoid the rocks and snags that appear to
slow progress.
Follow the recommended steps. It will speed things along if you follow them in order. You may
pursue alternative routes of your own design. Deviations from our guide have historically resulted in
delays, lowered trust, and higher stress.
Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the flow chart on page six. It contains a condensed version of the
flowchart contained in CPAM, Attachment 5‐8‐1. Details are removed and only the essential lines of
communication and decision‐making details are shown. Decision makers are shown at each point in the
flowchart to identify who need to know the facts.
Step 2: CEI initiates a DDM form by completing sections A & B. Discussion is in order at this time with
the Project Administrator, Materials Manager and Construction PM, to determine what the issue is; a
materials deficiency, construction non‐conformance issue, or no issue at all.
Use the examples shown on page seven to help determine if a DDM is needed at all. The unique
circumstances will be taken into consideration by the Project Administrator, Materials Manager, and
Construction Project Manager to make a decision on DDM or another route.
Some non‐compliant items are obviously materials related and require a DDM. Continue to
steps 3 through 6, below.
Some items are construction non‐conformance issues. CEI submits DDM form, with only
sections A & B completed, to DCE.
Step 3: DMRE or Designee to decide if an Engineering Analysis Report (EAR) will be needed, based on
their review. The DMRE & DCE may decide not to pursue the EAR based on their opinions.
Step 4: A Professional Engineer currently registered in Florida with the education and experience
necessary to perform the work is required for the EAR. The initial scope must include the Specialty
Engineer’s identification. The Specialty Engineer should help prepare the EAR scope. Scopes without the
Specialty Engineer’s identification will not be accepted. Get approval on the scope by the Materials
Manager before beginning work on the EAR. This saves time and effort and prevents redo’s. See the
guidelines on pages 13 and 14 for completing a successful EAR.
Step 5: The Forensic Guidelines from the Materials Manual, Section 5.11, are included on pages 15 to 17
to help the Specialty Engineer, Quality Control manager, and project personnel provide a better EAR.

Department Guidelines for Preparing an Engineering Analysis Report
Following is a list of the basic requirements that should be included in an Engineering Analysis Report
(EAR)
1. Identification information: This should be included at the beginning of the EAR identifying the
project information, the name and address of the company submitting the EAR and the name and
address of the company the EAR is being prepared for.
2. Problem statement: Describe in detail the problem which required the EAR. Provide a summary of
the test results (QC, IV, as applicable) and specification requirements that triggered the EAR. Provide
the location within the project of the questionable material. If possible, use Global Positioning System
(GPS) coordinates to identify the location of the material.
3. Testing laboratory: Identify the laboratory that will be used and discuss the laboratory’s
qualifications and personnel that will perform the required tests. Provide technician identification
numbers (TIN).
4. Engineering: Identify the Engineer responsible for analyzing the data and making final
recommendations. Include a brief résumé listing similar past work efforts.
5. Testing plan: Discuss the testing approach that will be used, including the test methods and number
of test replicates. Include information on who will provide the samples for the analysis, where they will
be located (within the area of the questionable material) and when they will be obtained.
6. Analysis approach: Describe the approach and reasoning that will be used to evaluate the test data
and determine the quality of the questionable material.
Approval of the testing plan and analysis approach must be obtained from the Department prior to
obtaining any samples and/or testing.
7. Data presentation: Present the data in a tabular and/or graphical format.
8. Statistical analysis: Conduct statistical tests, as applicable, to determine the viability of the data. The
statistical analysis should also determine if the samples used in the analysis are representative of the
questionable material in‐place.
9. Recommendations: Based on the test data obtained and current engineering practice, provide and
justify the recommendations for the disposition of the questionable material. Discuss the quantities and
locations of the material determined to be questionable.
10. P.E. Seal: The Professional Engineer responsible for the EAR and its recommendations must sign
and seal the EAR
14
11. Attachments: Present any accreditation, certification, or other supporting documents, including
pictures, plant and field records, control charts, etc. that are needed for the EAR Include a copy of the
Department’s correspondence to the Contractor that indicates approval to perform an EAR for this
particular problem.

Materials Manual Section 5.11 Forensic Investigations
5.11.1 PURPOSE
This procedure establishes a process for engineering investigation of failed or distressed components of
the transportation infrastructure. The procedure will guide consistent, uniform, and thorough
investigations when a problem is indicated. This procedure will also provide guidance for investigations
that seek to identify root causes of successful infrastructure performance in order to build on and repeat
success.
5.11.2 AUTHORITY
Code Of Federal Regulations (CFR), Federal‐Aid Policy Guide (FAPG), Subchapter G ‐ Engineering and
Traffic Operations, Part 637 ‐ Construction Inspection and Approval, Subpart B ‐ Quality Assurance
Procedures for Construction Sections 334.044(2), 334.044(10)(a) and 334.048 Florida Statutes
5.11.3 SCOPE
Primary Offices affected by this procedure include the State Materials Office (SMO), the State
Construction Office (SCO), District Construction Offices (DCO), District Materials Offices (DMO) and
Resident Construction Offices (RCO) / Operations Centers (OC).
5.11.4 FORENSIC INVESTIGATIONS
Forensic investigation is a careful inquiry and report of causes of distress and failure of engineered
processes, materials, and transportation infrastructure components. The investigation purposes may
vary from providing expedient recommendations to fix a specific item, determine the root cause of
consistent failures and provide a recommendation for processes improvement, or to assign
responsibility and develop strategies for legal cases. A forensic investigation may also be instigated to
determine what worked and why on successful endeavors. Each forensic investigation involves a unique
set of circumstances. The nature and intensity of the forensic investigation should be modified based on
the unique circumstances and the potential use of the recommendations. The investigator must
carefully assess the depth of investigative study needed and plan the investigation carefully to fully
assess all aspects of the unique situation. The general guidance in this procedure is to help the
investigator recognize possible resources available to assist with a thorough and precise study. Not all
the resources may be needed for every study and the investigator should determine the resource
balance needed to successfully complete the investigation. A complete forensic investigation should
include:
(A) Problem Identification
(B) Determination of significance of the problem
(C) Identification of the causes.
(D) Identification of what changes need to be made to prevent recurrence.
16
5.11.4.1 Safety
Areas of failed infrastructure can be dangerous places. The investigator should take precautions to
ensure the safety of the investigator, the investigative team, fellow workers, and the public.
5.11.4.2 Investigative team
An investigative team of subject area experts may be needed to thoroughly evaluate and provide
resolution of the problem. Materials and Research area experts, geotechnical experts, design engineers,
maintenance engineers, construction engineers, State Materials Office area experts, structural
engineers, drainage engineers, traffic engineers, and so forth are potential sources of assistance to
provide insight and resolve specific problems. The investigative team may be headed by the specific area
expert that is most familiar with the type and nature of the problem. The materials area experts may
assist forensic teams headed by other area experts by providing recommendations for investigative
sampling plans, laboratory evaluation programs, FDOT, ASTM, AASHTO, ACI, AWS, and other resources
of standards of practice.
5.11.4.3 Initial Site Visit and Reconnaissance
The investigator should visit the site and perform an initial reconnaissance as soon as practical following
the notification of need for the forensic investigation. The situation may require the investigator to
immediately visit the site to avoid alteration or destruction of evidence that may be helpful to identify
the physical conditions present as potential contributing factors. A camera, note taking equipment,
plans if available, and appropriate measuring equipment may be useful during the initial visit. Interviews
with witnesses and interested parties should be conducted to assess the situation. A list of all personnel
present at the time the failure occurred or became known should be gathered for follow up interviews.
The investigator should maintain objectivity and avoid rushing to initial conclusions based solely on the
opinions formed by others during the initial site visit. The opinions of others should be gathered as part
of the initial site visit and incorporated when appropriate as part of the detailed study. Any initial
samples should be carefully documented, photographed, and labeled to ease identification.
5.11.4.4 Investigation Plan
An investigation plan should be formed after the initial site reconnaissance. The plan may be simple or
detailed depending upon the situation. The investigative plan should be formed with the intent of
identifying the root cause of the failure. The following elements may be incorporated into the plan. The
more complex the situation is, the more detailed the plan should be.
(A) Research, Project plans and specification documents should be reviewed. Other sources and
publications may be reviewed to build an understanding of the situation. Internet sources may
be used to help identify similar situations.
(B) Samples and testing program, Samples to assess the areas of concern as well as control samples
representing normally behaving areas should be identified and incorporated into the
investigation plan. FDOT, ASTM, AASHTO, etc, references should be consulted to identify
standard test methods available to assist with the precision of the assessment. All samples
17
should be carefully labeled, photographed, and documented to ensure accurate application of
the information generated.
(C) Monitoring Stations, It may be useful to establish field monitoring points or areas to determine
the potential for additional growth of the failed area. Monitoring should include control points
outside the affected zone. The purpose of monitoring points and criteria for action should be
clearly established as part of the investigation plan.
(D) Flexibility, The investigator must recognize the investigative plan is formed from the
information know at the initial phase of the investigation. The plan must be flexible to
incorporate new information and changes in conditions as the investigation progresses.
5.11.4.5 Analysis
A theory of the failure mechanism should be formulated. Analysis of the failure theory should be
complete and to the appropriate depth needed to convince the investigative team of the theory’s merit.
Alternate theories of failure proposed or suggested by the gathered evidence, witnesses, or other area
experts should be investigated for merit and properly considered as part of the analysis.
Conclusions must be formed after the investigation and data analysis is complete. Consideration of
factors and contributing causes should be weighed and assigned. The failure is often not assignable to a
single contributing cause. Possible contributing factors may include but are not limited too;
(A) Design
(B) Construction
(C) Materials
(D) Processes
(E) Maintenance
(F) Environmental Demands
(G) Specifications and Standards
(H) Human Factors
(I) External Forces
(J) Training
(K) Equipment
(L) Procedures
(M) Resource allocation
(N) Etc.
The conclusions should include a determination of the root cause of the failure, responsibility for the
assignable cause, and recommendations to avoid a similar failure
5.11.4.6 Report
A summary report should be provided to document the findings of the investigative team. The summary
report should include details about the makeup of the investigative team, the interviewed witnesses,
reference relevant research; document the investigative plan, sample photos, laboratory data, field
monitoring data, theories, analysis, conclusions and recommendations. The report need only contain the
18
information necessary to adequately document the forensic investigation. Reports may vary from e‐
mails or bound printed materials depending upon the nature and purpose of the investigation.
