TAILIEUCHUNG - Letter Report Construction Engineering in State Highway Projects

However, we believe that NOP officials need to further improve program administration and strengthen their management controls to ensure more effective enforcement of program requirements when serious violations, including operations that market product as organic while under suspension, are found. In addition, they need to strengthen their oversight of certifying agents and organic operations to ensure that organic products are consistently and uniformly meeting NOP standards. We found that NOP officials need to improve their enforcement of program regulations and their resolution of complaints, as noted in our prior report. NOP officials did not have adequate procedures or a system for. | State of Wisconsin Letter Report Construction Engineering in State Highway Projects May 2 9 Legislative Audit Bureau 22 E.

Construction engineers who include both DOT staff and private consultants ensure that construction contractors build highways according to contractual requirements. In fiscal year FY 2007-08 construction engineering expenditures totaled an estimated million including million in spending related to state staff and million paid to private consultants. Our analysis is focused on state highway projects built with concrete pavement. We reviewed in detail projects begun from FY 2006-07 through FY 2007-08. None of 20 projects we reviewed had any measurements that indicated unacceptable concrete pavement thickness. However documentation for 11 of the 20 projects indicated that contractors measured the concrete pavement s thickness less frequently than contractually required. State staff served as the lead construction engineer on 7 of the 11 projects while consultants served in that role on the remaining 4. It is possible the measurements were actually taken but not documented but we cannot independently confirm this. To help ensure state highway .
