Record Keeping. Inspectors should keep records in a
bound book (logbook). Each page should be initialed by the
inspector and dated. The record book should contain:
a) Written records of verbal agreements made between
the contracting officer or the inspector and the contractor.
b) Daily descriptions of the type of equipment and
number of workers on the job site.
c)
Descriptions of the coating materials that are on
site.
d)
Records of the rate of work progression.
e)
Measurements of ambient conditions.
f)
Results and observations of the surface preparation
inspection.
g) Measurements and observations of coating
application, including time between surface preparation and
coating application, and times between coats.
h)

It is especially important that agreements between the
contracting officer (or designee) and the contractor that modify
the contract specification be in writing and be signed to
minimize future disputes.
