POL - AZ Dept of Transportation - Product Resource Investment Deployment & Evaluation Program 2008

  • YEAR CREATED: 2008
  • ENTITY TYPE: Authority: Transportation
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: POL - Policies/Procedures
The document is about the Product Resource Investment Deployment and Evaluation (PRIDE) Program, specifically focusing on the evaluation and approval process for products to be included in the Approved Products List (APL). The document outlines the procedures and responsibilities of the PRIDE program administrator and the Program Evaluation Committees (PECs) in reviewing and evaluating product applications. The document states that PECs have the authority to modify the APL categories within their areas of responsibility. The PRIDE program administrator is responsible for maintaining the APL and developing and revising its format with the agreement of the PEC chairpersons. The document also discusses the format and procedures for submitting a PRIDE application, which are developed by the PRIDE program administrator with the concurrence of the PEC chairpersons. It mentions that modifications or updates to the application format and procedures can be made at the discretion of the group. Regarding testing, the document states that products proposed for inclusion on the APL may require testing, which can be done by ADOT or an independent testing laboratory. The TCPEC or MatPEC will determine the tests to be performed on a product and assign an individual to direct the tests. Test results are to be documented. The evaluation process is described, with the PRIDE program administrator evaluating the completeness of new product applications. If an application does not meet program requirements or is not addressed by the APL, it will not be forwarded to a PEC for consideration. If an application is of interest to a PEC, it will be presented at the appropriate PEC meeting, and the PEC may create or modify an APL category to accommodate the product. Each complete application is logged into a database and assigned a unique identification number. Lead evaluators are identified, and if there are potential safety or health concerns, the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for the product is forwarded to the ADOT Safety and Health unit for evaluation. After safety and health approvals, the application is forwarded to the lead evaluators for review and further evaluation. Once the initial evaluation is completed, the product application is scheduled for discussion at a PEC meeting. The PECs may vote on the acceptability of the product or request further evaluation. The process continues until a final decision is made by the PECs. The document also mentions the applicant notification process, where approved products receive written notification from the PRIDE program administrator, and disapproved products receive a notification with reasons for the decision. The document includes information about the appeal process, where an applicant can file an appeal with the PRIDE program administrator within 30 days of receiving notification. The appeal must be in writing and include specific information about the grounds for the appeal and suggested relief. The appeal will be reviewed for completeness, and if complete, it will be presented to the PECs for ruling. The PECs may require new tests or evaluations, add the product to the APL, or deny the appeal.
