Guidelines will be developed prior to conducting this review. |
| OBJECTIVE: | To gather information about the current fabrication process (i.e., what is working well, what areas need improvement), and to ensure that AASHTO and .......... Specifications are adequate and are being adhered to. To make recommendations for improvements to the process, if necessary. A final report, documenting the results of the review, will be issued. |
