23. Quality Assurance & Quality Control • DOTD Will Evaluate The Right of Way Images, Pavement Images, and Condition Data Summary • Failure to Correct The Control Section and Deliver the District(s) Data as Outlined in the Master Schedule Will Subject The Consultant to Damages • Clearly Describe The Technique Intended to Use to Quantify The Data • Describe How The Technology Can Be Validated and How It Will Perform on Different Pavement Surface Types • Propose An Inter-Rater Consistency Testing and Training Plan • Submit QC Procedures In Final Report

24. Begin no later than July 1, 2008 Complete by March 20, 2007 Data Collection Cycle

25. $300 per day per district: Failure to deliver the required number of districts within the time frame $500 per day: Failure to complete the delivery of quantified pavement distress data of all nine (9) districts $300 Per day: Failure to complete delivery of the final report and until all deliverables Have been accepted Damages

26. Evaluation • Firm Experience • Personnel Experience • Firm Size • Firms past performance on Similar projects with LA DOTD* • Current work load with DOTD • Location where the work will be performed* • Proposed Work Plan (Written Proposal) and Field Trials results * All respondents will receive a 4 in these categories
