Fdot Final Estimates - Level 1 Questions
With Solutions
When making corrections to a field book entry, you should: strike through, initial and
enter correct data and date
What should be started on the first lined page (page 1) of a field book? INDEX
An entire page of a field notebook you are using is incorrect, what do you do to correct the
situation? Mark the page VOID and reference it to a new page showing the correct
information.
"Check Levels" must be run at the start of a construction project to assure that:
Construction will be done to design elevations & final measurements for payment will be
from the same base elevations as the original survey.
What should accompany final measurements so that nonstandard measurements may be
interpreted accurately? Sketches
In the REMARKS column of most computation book forms a reference should be made to the:
Source Documents
When is it permissible to record only the net weight on an asphaltic concrete tabulation form?
Never, gross tare must be included also
