thickness and density of the pavement materials.
Report
> Report the results of our field and laboratory tests to members of the construction team, as
requested.
To accomplish this scope of services, PSI will provide qualified personnel to conduct field tests on an on-
call basis. We request a 24-hour notice so that we can efficiently supply the required personnel.
Please note that our services do not include supervision or direction of the actual construction work.
Also, be aware that neither the presence of our field representative nor the observation and testing by our
firm shall imply PSrs responsibility for defects discovered in the construction work. It is understood that
our firm will not be responsible for job or site safety on this project. Job site safety will be the sole
responsibility of others.
In this proposal the words "inspection" and "verify" are used to mean observation of the work and the
conducting of tests by PSI to determine substantial compliance with plans, specifications and design
concepts.
