 Importance of Material Coordinators  Spec Requirement  CMM Requirement  General Description of Training  Materials Coordinator Learning Objectives  Sample Lessons

 Why is the Material Coordinator Important?

 Why are Material Coordinator’s Important?  Prevent Delays  Prevent Missing Documentation  Make sure all required tests are done  Prevent Payment Reductions  Assure Quality  Improved Communication  Reduce Final Payment Time  Material Coordinators on both sides working together are the key

 2014 Spec Section Designated Materials Person Designate one person, either a member of the contractor's own organization or acting as an agent for the contractor responsible for the following:

 Communicating contract sampling and testing requirements to subcontractors at all tiers.  Reporting out-of-specification test results to the department as soon as the information is available.  Providing certified reports of test or analysis and manufacturers’ certificates of compliance from subcontractors at all tiers and maintaining certification records as specified in  Ensure that the contractor-designated materials person submits materials information required under the contract to a person the engineer designates. Ensure that the contractor- designated materials person communicates with their department counterpart weekly.

 WisDOT Construction Material Manual (CMM) Responsibilities include: Communicate or meet weekly with the Contractors representative to discuss outstanding materials issues on the contract. Monitor the submittals from the CDMP to ensure timeliness and completeness. Review contractor submittals to verify materials requirements are met. Inform the Project Leader of non-conforming materials issues and discuss actions to be taken. Prepare materials documentation for inclusion into the project files. Provide a project-specific sampling testing guide (E-Guide) to the contractor
