37 Miss. Code R. § 1-8601-02005-103
Each maintained pavement project will be inspected once a year by MDOT Research Division personnel. The inspection will consist of profile sensor data collection and video images. Distress analysis will be done on a minimum of two 500-ft samples per mile of the pavement to determine if the distress thresholds have been exceeded and remedial action is needed by the contractor. Distress analysis will adhere to the guidelines delineated in the Strategic Highway Research Program's Distress Identification Manual. A conflict resolution team will be named for each project and will consist of MDOT personnel, contractor representatives, and a mutually agreed-upon third party to resolve any disagreements whenever necessary. The guidelines, thresholds, and procedures are fully detailed in Special Provision 907-403 (for hot-mix asphalt) or Special Provision 907-501 (for Portland cement concrete) to the latest edition of the Mississippi Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction as amended (manual adopted by MDOT Commission Order on February 24, 2004).
