  The procedure utilized to insure the raw materials meet material requirements shall be specified
  
• 
  The procedure and tests performed to insure the manufactured pipe meet material requirements shall be specified
  
• 
  Quality Control inspection records shall be maintained by the manufacturer for a minimum period of two years. These records shall be furnished upon request by the Engineer.
  

4. The pipe manufacturer shall furnish a Certificate of Delivery for each shipment, stating that the listed materials have been tested, inspected and that the products conform to AASHTO M 294 and AHTD Specifications. The information on the Certificate of Delivery shall also include the state job number (or state purchase order number), consignee, destination, sizes, lengths, number of pieces, and plant of origin.

The following procedure is to be used in acquiring approval of Manhole Steps for inclusion on the Qualified Products List: Detailed design drawings, material specifications, test data, product literature and installation procedures must be submitted for approval. Cast Iron steps must meet the requirements of ASTM A 48, Class 30A. Random samples may be taken by the Department for evaluation. Any deviation in performance from the original sample may be sufficient reason to discontinue acceptance of the material from the manufacturer, determination of which shall be by the Materials Engineer.
All iron and steel material used on Department projects must be in compliance with "Buy America" requirements and the Department's "Standard Specifications for Highway Construction", Subsection 106.01. This means all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel in a product(i.e., smelting/remelting, and any subsequent process which alters the steel material's physical form or shape or changes its chemical composition) must occur within the United States to be considered of domestic origin. This includes processes such as rolling, extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, and applying coatings. The use of pig iron or processed, pelletized, and reduced iron ore manufactured outside of the United States is permitted in the domestic manufacturing process for steel and/or iron materials. All steel mill test reports will contain a statement certifying that all manufacturing processes for the steel occurred in the United States. Each supplier/fabricator of an intermediate product will also certify that the product complies with "Buy America" requirements.

MISCELLANEOUS IRON PRODUCTS
The following procedure is to be used in acquiring approval of miscellaneous iron products for inclusion on the Qualified Products List:
1. This QPL section covers iron castings for rings and covers, grates and frames and other appurtenances, and automatic flood gates when called for on the plans.
2. The product shall be marked; minimum markings shall be name of manufacturer and the model identification. The manufacturer will supply product information and certify that the product meets applicable material specifications.
3. All iron and steel material used on Department projects must be in compliance with “Buy America” requirements and Department’s “Standard Specifications for Highway Construction”, Subsection 106.01 This means all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel in a product(i.e., smelting, remelting, and any subsequent process which alters the steel material’s physical form or shape or changes its chemical composition) must occur within the United States to be considered of domestic origin. This includes processes such as rolling, extruding, machining, bending, grinding, drilling, and applying coatings. The use of pig iron or processed, pelletized, and reduced iron ore manufactured outside of the United States is permitted in the domestic manufacturing process for steel and/or iron materials. All steel mill test reports will contain a statement certifying that all manufacturing processes for the steel occurred tin the United States. Each supplier/fabricator of an intermediate product will also certify that the product complies with “Buy America” requirements.
4. Iron castings for rings and covers, grates and frames, and other appurtenances shall comply with AASHTO M 105, Class 35B and AASHTO M 306. Bearing surfaces between rings and covers or grates and frames shall be cast or machined with such precision that uniform bearing shall be provided throughout the perimeter area of contact. Iron castings for rings and covers or frames and grates shall not be painted.
5. Automatic floodgates shall be of standard design and shall be made of cast iron complying with AASHTO M 105 for Gray Iron Castings. The gates shall be carefully machined, water-tight and entirely automatic in their operation. They shall be sensitive to a difference in water level and must be hinged so as to seat accurately.
