[http://www.modot.mo.gov/business/standards_and_specs/Sec0106.pdf Sec 106] establishes the respective obligations of contractor and MoDOT concerning materials to be used. 

While most of Sec 106 concerns responsibilities of Construction and Materials, the resident engineer must be aware of its provisions. As MoDOT's representative on the project, the resident engineer must see that all project procedures are in harmony with specifications. No materials should be used for which the resident engineer does not have approval. 
Specific requirements for inspection and testing are found in the Engineering Policy Guide. 

This article presents guidelines for Construction and Materials functions, including information from the former Construction and Materials Manual, Volumes 1-3.

For [[Where to Find Construction and Materials Functions#Field Inspection Guidance EPG articles from the former Construction and Materials Manual, Volume 1|'''field inspection guidance''']], refer to “Construction Inspection Guidelines” articles in the EPG for the specific spec number desired (for example, [[:category:200 GEOMETRICS#200.1 Construction Inspection Guidance for Grading and Removals|EPG 200.1 Construction Inspection Guidance for Grading and Removals]]).  Additional field inspection guidelines are located in the EPG 1100 Maintenance Materials group of articles, such as [[:Category:1106 Carbide-Tipped Snowplow Blades|EPG 1106 Carbide-Tipped Snowplow Blades]].

[[Where to Find Construction and Materials Functions#Laboratory Testing Guide EPG articles from the former Construction and Materials Manual, Volume 2|'''Laboratory testing guidelines''']], like the field inspection guidelines, are located in “Laboratory Testing Guidelines” articles for the specific spec number desired.  For example, [[1020.8 Laboratory Testing Guidelines for Sec 1020|EPG 1020.8 Laboratory Testing Guidelines for Sec 1020]] pertains to sampling metallic-coated steel culvert metal.  Additional laboratory testing guidelines are located in the EPG 1100 Maintenance Materials group of articles, such as [[:Category:1124 Sodium Chloride#1124.4 Laboratory Testing Guidelines|EPG 1124.4 Laboratory Testing Guidelines]].

The '''Automation Guide''' is available through [[106.20 Reporting#106.20.1.1 Automation Section 3510|EPG 106.20.1.1 Automation Section 3510]].

'''Payment documentation''' is available at [[:Category:109 Measurement and Payment|EPG 109 Measurement and Payment]].

MoDOT’s '''Test Methods''' are located at [[:Category:106.3.2 Material Inspection Test Methods|EPG 106.3.2 Material Inspection Test Methods]].

MoDOT's '''pre-qualified or pre-established lists''' are located at [[106.1 Source of Supply and Quality Requirements|EPG 106.1 Source of Supply and Quality Requirements]].  Guidance for pre-acceptance lists (PAL) and the PAL Inspection Guide is available at [[106.12 Pre-Acceptance Lists (PAL)|EPG 106.12 Pre-Acceptance Lists (PAL)]].  New product evaluation information and forms are located at [[106.17 New Product Evaluation|EPG 106.17 New Product Evaluation]].

The [http://www.modot.mo.gov/business/materials/pdf/TechCert/TechContent.pdf '''Technician Certification Program'''] includes a wide variety of information from how to become certified, to certification manuals to math topics.

The '''General Sections''' of the former Construction and Materials Manual are also available, including [[:category:132 Safety|safety]], [[106.4 Plant Inspections|plant inspections]], [[106.3 Samples, Tests and Cited Specifications#106.3.1 Sampling|sampling]], [[106.20 Reporting|internal records]], [[106.19 Materials Acceptance#106.19.1 Certifications|certifications]], [[106.21 Summary of Materials Inspected|summary of materials inspected]], [[106.22 Material Inspection Revisions|guideline revisions]], [[106.15 Pipe Shipping Report Form|Pipe Shipping Report Form]], [[106.16 Special Designs|special designs]], [[106.17 Product Requirements for Temporary Traffic Control Devices, Pavement Marking and Delineation|product requirements for temporary traffic control devices, pavement marking and delineation]] and [[106.24 Purchase Order Items|purchase order items]].

Inspection guidelines for the [[903.21 Material Inspection for Sec 903#903.21.4 Missouri Logo Sign Program|Missouri Logo Sign Program]], formerly included in the former Construction and Materials Manual, is available.
