Drawings, Contract Provisions, Special Provisions, Supplementary Conditions, and other
Division 01 Specification Sections apply to this Section.
SUMMARY
A.
This Section includes administrative and procedural requirements governing methods of
measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material
furnished and unit amount of Work performed under the Contract in order for Contractor
to receive payment according to pre-established unit prices.
B.
At the discretion of the COTR, payment may be reduced for any Work which is not in
full compliance with the Contract Documents or which has been damaged or repaired by
Contractor. Such action may be used when the end product may have a reduced service
life or less than desirable aesthetic characteristics.
C.
Descriptions of unit-price items are specified in Section III, "Schedule," of the Contract
Provisions.
MEASUREMENT OF QUANITITES
A.
All volumes or quantities used to determine unit-price payment will be measured by
COTR, or by COTR’s authorized representatives, using methods generally recognized as
conforming to good engineering practice. Unless otherwise indicated, measurement shall
be in U.S. Customary Units of Measurement.
B.
Unless otherwise indicated, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be
made horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs)
having an area of 9 sq. ft. or less. Unless otherwise indicated, transverse measurements
for area computations will be the neat dimensions shown on Drawings.
1.
2.
3.
C.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as
altered to fit field conditions.
Measure all Contract items measured by the linear foot, such as electrical ducts,
conduits, pipe culverts, under drains, and similar items, parallel to the base of
foundation on which such items are placed, unless otherwise indicated.
In computing volumes of excavation, use the average end area method or other
acceptable method.
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal
pipe, metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and
measured in decimal fraction of inches.
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
012210 - 1
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Taxiway Juliet 1 Rehabilitation
D.
Haul materials, to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle, in approved vehicles
and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any
size or type acceptable to and approved in advance by COTR, provided that the body is
of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. Load all
vehicles to at least their water-level capacity. Level loads when the vehicles arrive at the
point of delivery.
1.
2.
When requested by Contractor and approved by COTR in writing, material
specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be weighed, and such weights
will be converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors for conversion
from weight measurement to volume measurement will be determined by COTR
and agreed to by Contractor before such method of measurement of pay
quantities is used.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2000-lb avoirdupois. Weigh
all materials, which are measured or proportioned by weights, on accurate,
approved scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations designated by
COTR.
a.
b.
E.
DA1103
December 2, 2011
If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted, provided
that only the actual weight of material will be paid for. However, car
weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing
plants.
Weigh trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight empty daily
at such times as COTR directs. Each truck shall bear a plainly legible
identification mark.
Measure bituminous materials by the gallon or ton. When measured by volume, measure
such volumes at 60 deg F or measure corrected to the volume at 60 deg F, using
ASTM D 1250 for asphalts or ASTM D 633 for tars.
1.
2.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of
rail shipments will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when
bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted, or
otherwise not incorporated into the Work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified
weights by volume, subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for
computing quantities.
F.
Concrete will be measured by the cubic yard in place, unless otherwise indicated.
G.
The term "each" when used as an item of payment shall mean complete payment for the
work described in the Contract.
1.
H.
When a complete structure or structural unit is to be provided, and "each" is
specified, as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all
necessary fitting, accessories, and work incidental to the work item.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and
necessary traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the Work. Special
equipment ordered by COTR in connection with "force account work" will be measured

as agreed in Contract Modification authorizing such force account work as provided in
the Contract Documents.
I.
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled
shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section
dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be nominal weights or
dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited Specifications,
manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
J.
When estimated quantities for a specific portion of the Work are designated as the pay
quantities in the Contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such
specific portion of the Work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the
Work shown on Drawings are revised by Contract Modification signed by the
Contracting Officer.
1.
1.4
If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in quantities of such Work,
final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the
authorized changes in the dimensions.
SCALES
A.
Scales for weighing materials, which are required to be proportioned or measured and
paid for by weight, shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by Contractor or be
certified permanently installed commercial scales.
B.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the current weight throughout the
range of use. Contractor shall have scales checked under the observation of the inspector
before beginning Work and at such other times as requested. The intervals shall be
uniform in spacing throughout the graduated or marked length of the beam or dial and
shall not exceed one-tenth of 1 percent of the nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not
less than 1 lb. The use of spring balances will not be permitted.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
C.
Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the
operator and the inspector can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available 10 standard 50-lb weights for testing the
weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved
equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site.
Platform scales shall be installed and maintained with the platform level and rigid
bulkheads at each end.
Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be
permitted to operate, and all materials received subsequent to the last previous
correct weighing-accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in
excess of one-half of 1 percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "under-weighing" (indicating
less than correct weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to
Contractor will be allowed for materials previously weighted and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining
scales; for furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in

and proposed solution(s) thereof, delays experienced and proposed recovery
measures, a monthly reconciliation of weather impact, the status and impact of
contract modifications, documentation of any logic changes, and any other
changes made to the schedule since the previous monthly update.
CPM schedule reports listing completed activities, activities in progress, and
remaining activities in the format requested by COTR. For each activity,
Contractor shall provide those details identified in Subparagraph 3.3-D-2.
Monthly and cumulative cash-flow curves that show actual vs. planned cash-flow
status.
Documentation of delivered material in the form of paid invoices or other
evidence that Contractor has clear title for the material delivered.
D.
If critical activities of the schedule are delayed and such delay is not excusable as defined
in this Section, the remaining sequence of activities and/or duration thereof shall be
adjusted by Contractor through such measures as additional manpower, additional shifts,
or the implementation of concurrent operations until the schedule produced indicates
Work will be completed on schedule. Except as provided elsewhere in the Contract, all
costs incurred by Contractor to recover from inexcusable delays shall be borne by
Contractor.
E.
The monthly schedule update shall form the basis for Contractor's Application for
Payment. The progress payment for an activity shall be based on its agreed on percentage
of completion. On unit-priced contracts, the approval of Contractor's monthly requisition
is contingent on the submittal of a satisfactory monthly schedule update; however, the
basis of payment will be the actual measurement of COTR-accepted, in-place units of
work.
DELAYS AND REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
A.
The determination for an extension of the Contract Time will be made by the Contracting
Officer according to the Contract Provision "Default."
B.
Contractor acknowledges and agrees that delays in activities, irrespective of the party
causing the delay, which according to the computer mathematical analysis do not affect
any critical activity or milestone dates on the CPM network at the time of the delay, shall
not become the basis for an extension of the Contract Time. The only basis for any
extension of time will be the demonstrated impact of an excusable delay on the critical
path. In demonstrating such impact, Contractor shall provide adequate detail as required
by the Contract, and Contractor shall prove that:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
An event occurred.
Contractor was not responsible for the event in that the event was beyond the
control of Contractor, and was without fault or negligence of Contractor,
subcontractor, or supplier, and the event was unforeseeable.
The event was the type for which an excuse is granted according to the "Default"
provision of this Contract.
Activities on the critical path of the Work were delayed.
The event in fact caused the delay of the Work.
The requested additional time is an appropriate and reasonable extension of the
Contract Time, given the actual delay encountered.

that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time and could not have
been reasonably anticipated, and that weather conditions had an adverse effect on
the critical activities of the scheduled construction.
The schedule of anticipated adverse weather below will constitute the base line
for monthly (or a prorated portion thereof) weather/time evaluation by the
Contracting Officer. On issuance of the Notice to Proceed and continuing
throughout the Contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days will be
recorded by Contractor on a calendar day basis (include weekends and holidays)
and compared to the monthly-anticipated adverse weather days set forth below.

The number of actual adverse weather days shall be calculated
chronologically from the first to the last day in each month. Contractor
shall not be entitled to any claim for time extension based on adverse
weather unless the number of actual adverse weather days exceeds the
number of anticipated adverse weather days, and unless such adverse
weather days prevent work for 50 percent or more of Contractor's
workday. In preparing the Contract Schedule, Contractor shall reflect the
above anticipated adverse weather days on all weather-dependent
activities. Weather-caused delays shall not result in any additional
compensation to Contractor.
On days where adverse weather is encountered, Contractor shall list all critical
activities under progress and shall indicate the impact adverse weather had, if
any, on the progress of such activities. This information shall be presented at the
end of the adverse weather day to COTR or its authorized representative for its
review and approval.
If Contractor is found eligible for an extension of the Contract Time, the
Contracting Officer will issue a modification extending the time for Contract
completion. The extension of time will be made on a calendar day basis.

contained in paragraph 401-5.2B. The criteria is based on a production process which has a
material variability with the following standard deviations:
Stability (lbs.) = 270
Flow (0.01 inch) = 1.5
Air Voids (%) = 0.65
If material variability exceeds the standard deviations indicated, the job mix formula and
subsequent production targets should be based on stability greater than shown in Table 1, and
the flow and air voids should be targeted close to the mid-range of the criteria in order meet
the acceptance requirements.

401-4.8
PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURE
The aggregates and the bituminous material shall be weighed or metered and introduced into
the mixer in the amount specified by the job mix formula.
The combined materials shall be mixed until the aggregate obtains a uniform coating of
bitumen and is thoroughly distributed throughout the mixture. Wet mixing time shall be the
shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture, but not less than 25 seconds for batch
plants. The wet mixing time for all plants shall be established by the Contractor, based on the
procedure for determining the percentage of coated particles described in ASTM D 2489, for
each individual plant and for each type of aggregate used. The wet mixing time will be set to
achieve 95 percent of coated particles. For continuous mix plants, the minimum mixing time
shall be determined by dividing the weight of its contents at operating level by the weight of
the mixture delivered per second by the mixer. The moisture content of all bituminous mix
upon discharge shall not exceed 0.5 percent.
401-4.9
PREPARATION OF THE UNDERLYING SURFACE
Immediately before placing the bituminous mixture, the underlying course shall be dry and

required by the contract specifications.
401-4.10
LAYDOWN PLAN, TRANSPORTING, PLACING, AND FINISHING
Prior to the placement of the bituminous mixture, the Contractor shall prepare a laydown
plan for approval by the COTR. This is to minimize the number of cold joints in the
pavement. The laydown plan shall include the sequence of paving laydown by stations,
and width of lanes. The laydown plan shall also include estimated time of completion for
each portion of the work (i.e. milling, paving, rolling, cooling, etc.). Modifications to the
laydown plan shall be approved by the COTR.
The bituminous mixture shall be transported from the mixing plant(s) to the site in vehicles
conforming to the requirements of paragraph 401-4.3. Deliveries shall be scheduled so that
placing and compacting of mixture is uniform with minimum stopping and starting of the
paver. Adequate artificial lighting shall be provided for night placements. Hauling over
freshly placed material shall not be permitted until the material has been compacted, as
specified, and allowed to cool to atmospheric temperature.
For all taxiway pavements, the Contractor shall use a stringline to place each lane

rolling equipment, during operation of the equipment.
c.
An area 15 feet wide by 15 feet long at any point where an area is being
tack coated prior to the placement of pavement.
3.
As partial fulfillment of the above requirements, the Contractor shall furnish and
use complete artificial lighting units with a minimum capacity of 3,000 watt
electric beam lights, affixed to all equipment in such a way to direct illumination
on the area under construction.
4.
In addition, the Contractor shall furnish a sufficient number of portable floodlight
units to properly illuminate the work area.
If the Contractor places any out of specification mix in the project work area, the Contractor is
required to remove it at its own expense, to the satisfaction of the COTR. If the Contractor
has to continue placing non-payment bituminous concrete, as directed by the COTR, to make
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS

the surfaces safe for aircraft operations, the Contractor shall do so to the satisfaction of the
COTR. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to leave the facilities to be paved in a safe
condition ready for aircraft operations. No consideration for extended closure time of the area
being paved will be given. As a first order of work for the next paving shift, the Contractor
shall remove all out of specification material and replace with approved material to the
satisfaction of the COTR. When the above situations occur, there will be no consideration
given for additional construction time or payment for extra costs.
Upon arrival, the mixture shall be placed to the full width by a bituminous paver. It shall be
struck off in a uniform layer of such depth that, when the work is completed, it shall have the
required thickness and conform to the grade and contour indicated. The speed of the paver
shall be regulated to eliminate pulling and tearing of the bituminous mat. Unless otherwise
permitted, placement of the mixture shall begin along the centerline of a crowned section or
on the high side of areas with a one-way slope. The mixture shall be placed in consecutive
adjacent strips having a minimum width of 18.75 feet except where edge lanes require less
width to complete the area. The longitudinal joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal
joint in the course immediately below by at least 1 foot; however, the joint in the surface top
course shall be at the centerline of the pavement. Transverse joints in one course shall be
offset by at least 10 feet from transverse joints in the previous course.
Transverse joints in adjacent lanes shall be offset a minimum of 10 feet on the taxiway.
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical
spreading and finishing equipment impractical, the mixture may be spread and luted by
hand tools. Areas of segregation in the finished surface course, as determined by the
COTR, shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. The area shall be
removed by saw cutting and milling a minimum of 2 inches deep. The area to be removed
and replaced shall be a minimum width of the paver and a minimum of 10 feet long.
401-4.11
COMPACTION OF MIXTURE
After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by rolling. The
surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the mixture has attained sufficient
stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking, aggregate
degradation, or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall
be at the discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently
slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any
displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any other
cause, shall be corrected at once.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue
until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the required field
density is obtained.
To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened
(and scrapers used), but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with hand
tampers. Tampers shall weigh not less than 275 pounds, have a tamping plate width not less
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS
P-401-17

Taxiway Juliet 1 Rehabilitation
DA1103
December 2, 2011
than 15 inches, be rated at not less than 4,200 vibrations per minute, and be suitably equipped
with a standard tamping plate wetting device.
Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-cracking, or in
any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and immediately
compacted to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall be done at the Contractor's
expense. Skin patching shall not be allowed.
401-4.12
JOINTS
The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to ensure a continuous bond
between the courses and obtain the required density. All joints shall have the same texture as
other sections of the course and meet the requirements for smoothness and grade. Any course
aggregate raked from the joint shall be removed from the mat prior to compaction.
The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture except when
necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint, it shall be
made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course. The tapered edge shall be cut
back to its full depth and width on a straight line to expose a vertical face prior to placing the
adjacent lane. In both methods all contact surfaces shall be given a tack coat of bituminous
material before placing any fresh mixture against the joint.
Longitudinal joints which are irregular, damaged, uncompacted, or otherwise defective or
which have been left exposed for more than 4 hours, or whose surface temperature has
cooled to less than 160° F shall be cut back to expose a clean, sound surface for the full
depth of the course. All contact surfaces shall be cleaned and dry prior and given a tack
coat of bituminous material prior to placing any fresh mixture against the joint. The cost
of this work and tack coat shall be considered incidental to the cost of the bituminous
course.

401-5.1
ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING AND TESTING
Unless otherwise specified, all acceptance sampling and testing necessary to determine
conformance with the requirements specified in this section will be performed by the
COTR at no cost to the Contractor except that coring [and profilograph testing] as
required in this section shall be completed and paid for by the Contractor. Testing
organizations performing these tests except profilograph shall meet the requirements of
ASTM D 3666 as required in section 401-3.5. All equipment in Contractor furnished
laboratories shall be calibrated by an independent testing organization prior to the start of
operations at the Contractor's expense.
1.
Plant-Produced Material. Plant-produced material shall be tested for stability, flow,
and air voids on a lot basis. Sampling shall be from material deposited into trucks at
the plant or from trucks at the job site. A lot will consist of:
-
one day's production not to exceed 2,000 tons, or
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS
P-401-18
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Taxiway Juliet 1 Rehabilitation
DA1103
December 2, 2011
-
a half day's production where a day's production is expected to consist of
between 2,000 and 4,000 tons, or
-
similar subdivisions for tonnages over 4,000 tons.
Where more than one plant is simultaneously producing material for the job, the lot
sizes shall apply separately for each plant.
a.
Sampling. Each lot will consist of four equal sublots. Sufficient material for
preparation of test specimens will be sampled by the COTR on a random
basis, in accordance with the procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. One
set of laboratory compacted specimens will be prepared for each sublot in
accordance with ASTM D 6926, at the number of blows required by
paragraph 401-3.2, Table 2. Each set of laboratory compacted specimens
will consist of three test portions prepared from the same sample increment.
The sample of bituminous mixture may be put in a covered metal tin and
placed in an oven for not more than 30 to 60 minutes to maintain the heat.
The compaction temperature of the specimens should be as specified in the
job mix formula.
b.
Testing. Sample specimens shall be tested for stability and flow in
accordance with ASTM D 6927. Air voids will be determined by the COTR
in accordance with ASTM D 3203.
Prior to testing, the bulk specific gravity of each test specimen shall be
measured by the COTR in accordance with ASTM D 2726 using the
procedure for laboratory-prepared thoroughly dry specimens, or ASTM D
1188, whichever is applicable, for use in computing air voids and pavement
density.
For air voids determination, the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the
mixture shall be measured for each sublot in accordance with ASTM D
2041, Type C, D or E container. Samples shall be taken on a random basis
in accordance with ASTM D 3665. The value used in the voids computation
for each sublot shall be the average of the two maximum specific gravity
measurements for the sublot.
The stability, flow, and air voids for each sublot shall be computed by
averaging the results of the three test specimens representing that sublot.
VMA and Film Thickness requirements shall be calculated from the actual
asphalt content and gradation, extracted from the mixed product as
determined in paragraphs 401-6.3A and 401-6.3B.
c.
Acceptance. Acceptance of plant produced material for stability, flow, and
air voids shall be determined by the COTR in accordance with the
requirements of section 401-5.2A.

Field Placed Material. Material placed in the field shall be tested for mat and joint
density on a lot basis.
a.
Mat Density. The lot size shall be the same as that indicated in paragraph
401-5.1.1 and shall be divided into four equal sublots. One core of finished,
compacted materials shall be taken by the Contractor from each sublot. Core
locations will be determined by the COTR on a random basis in accordance
with procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. Cores shall not be taken closer
than one foot from a transverse or longitudinal joint.
b.
Joint Density. The lot size shall be the total length of longitudinal joints
constructed by a lot of material as defined in paragraph 401-5.1.1. The lot
shall be divided into four equal sublots. One core of finished, compacted
materials shall be taken by the Contractor from each sublot. When a joint is
formed between two adjacent lots in the longitudinal direction, the density
along this joint shall be included in the most current lot placement. Core
locations will be determined by the COTR on a random basis in accordance
with procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. All coring shall be centered
on the joint. The minimum core diameter for joint density determination
shall be 6 inches.
c.
Sampling. 6" samples shall be neatly cut with a core drill. The cutting edge
of the core drill bit shall be of hardened steel or other suitable material with
diamond chips embedded in the metal cutting edge. Samples that are clearly
defective, as a result of sampling, shall be discarded and another sample
taken. The Contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, and materials for cutting
samples and filling the cored pavement. Cored pavement shall be cleaned
and core holes shall be filled in a manner acceptable to the COTR and within
one day after sampling. A log of cores shall be kept by the contractor.
d.
Testing. The bulk specific gravity of each cored sample will be measured by
the COTR in accordance with ASTM D 2726 or ASTM D 1188, whichever
is applicable. The percent compaction (density) of each sample will be
determined by dividing the bulk specific gravity of each sublot sample by the
average bulk specific gravity of all laboratory prepared specimens for the lot,
as determined in paragraph 401-5.1.1b. The bulk specific gravity used to
determine the joint density at a joint formed between different lots shall be
the lowest of the average bulk specific gravity values from the two different
lots.
e.
Acceptance. Acceptance of field placed material for mat density will be
determined by the COTR in accordance with the requirements of section
401-5.2A. Acceptance for joint density will be determined in accordance
with the requirements of section 401-5.2A.
Partial Lots – Plant-Produced Material. When operational conditions cause a lot to
be terminated before the specified number of tests have been made for the lot, or
when the Contractor and COTR agree in writing to allow overages or other minor
tonnage placements to be considered as partial lots, the following procedure will be
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS

used to adjust the lot size and the number of tests for the lot.
The last batch produced where production is unexpectedly halted will be sampled
and its properties shall be considered as representative of the particular sublot from
which it was taken. Where three sublots are produced, they shall constitute a lot.
Where one or two sublots are produced, they shall be incorporated into the next lot
and the total number of sublots shall be used in the acceptance plan calculation, i.e.,
n = 5 or n = 6, for example. Partial lots at the end of asphalt production on the
project shall be included with the previous lot.
4.
401-5.2
Partial Lots - Field Placed Material. The lot size for field placed material shall
correspond to that of the plant material, except that in no case shall less than (3)
cored samples be obtained, i.e., n = 3.
ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA.
A.
General. Acceptance will be based on the following characteristics of the bituminous mixture
and completed pavement as well as the implementation of the Contractor's Quality Control
plan and test results:
(1) Stability
(2) Flow
(3) Air voids
(4) Mat density
(5) Joint density
(6) Thickness
(7)
(8)
(9)
(10)
Smoothness
Grade
VMA
Film Thickness
Stability, flow, air voids, mat density, and joint density will be evaluated for acceptance on a
lot basis using the method of estimating percentage of material within specification limits
(PWL). Acceptance using PWL considers the variability (standard deviation) of the material
and the testing procedures, as well as the average (mean) value of the test results to calculate
the percentage of material that is above the lower specification tolerance limit (L) or below
the upper specification tolerance limit (U).
Thickness will be evaluated by the COTR for compliance in accordance with paragraph
401-5.2.A.4. Acceptance for smoothness will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph
401-5.2.A.5. Acceptance for grade will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph
401-5.2.A.6. Acceptance for VMA and Film Thickness shall be in accordance with
paragraphs 401-5.2.A.7. and 401-5.2.A.8., respectively.
The COTR may at any time, not withstanding previous plant acceptance, reject and require
the Contractor to dispose of any batch of bituminous mixture which is rendered unfit for use
due to contamination, segregation, incomplete coating of aggregate, or improper mix
temperature. Such rejection may be based on only visual inspection or temperature
measurements. In the event of such rejection, the Contractor may take a representative
sample of the rejected material in the presence of the COTR, and, if it can be demonstrated in
the laboratory, in the presence of the COTR, that such material was erroneously rejected,
payment will be made for the material at the contract unit price.
Stability, Flow, and Air Voids. Evaluation for acceptance of each lot of plant-produced
material for stability, flow, and air voids shall be based on PWL. The Contractor shall target

production quality to achieve 90 PWL or higher. Mat Density. Evaluation for acceptance of
each lot of in-place pavement for mat density shall be based on PWL. The Contractor shall
target production quality to achieve 90 PWL or higher.
Joint Density. Evaluation for acceptance of each lot of in-place pavement for joint density
shall be based on PWL. The Contractor shall target production quality to achieve 90 PWL or
higher.
Percentage of Material within Specification Limits (PWL). The percentage of material within
specification limits (PWL) shall be determined in accordance with procedures specified in
Sections 401-5.4 and 5.5. The specification tolerance limits (L) and (U) are contained in
Table 6.
Acceptance Criteria.
1.
Mat Density and Air Voids. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for
mat density and air voids shall be based on the percentage of material within
specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent,
the lot shall be acceptable. Acceptance and payment shall be determined in
accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
2.
Stability and Flow. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for stability
and flow shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits
(PWL).
If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be
acceptable. If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the Contractor shall determine the
reason and take corrective action. If the PWL is below 80 percent, the Contractor
must stop production and make adjustments to the mix.
3.
Joint Density. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for joint density
shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL).
If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. If
the PWL is less than 90 percent, the Contractor shall evaluate the method of
compacting joints. If the PWL is below 80 percent, the Contractor shall stop
production until the reason for poor compaction can be determined. IF THE
PWL IS LESS THAN 71 PERCENT, THE PAY FACTOR FOR THE LOT
USED TO COMPLETE THE JOINT SHALL BE REDUCED BY 5
PERCENTAGE POINTS. This lot pay factor reduction shall be incorporated and
evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
4.
Thickness. Thickness shall be evaluated for compliance by the COTR to the
requirements shown on the plans. Measurements of thickness shall be made by the
COTR using the cores extracted for each sublot for density measurement. The
maximum allowable deficiency at any point shall not be more than ¼ inch less than
the thickness indicated for the lift. Average thickness of lift, or combined lifts, shall
not be less than the indicated thickness. Where the thickness tolerances are not met,
the lot or sublot shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense by removing the
deficient area and replacing with new pavement. The Contractor, at his expense, may
take additional cores as approved by the COTR to circumscribe the deficient area.

5.
Smoothness. The final surface shall be free from roller marks. The finished
surfaces for each course of the pavement except the finished surface of the final
course, shall not vary more than 3/8 inch when evaluated with a 16 foot
straightedge. The finished surface of the final course of pavement shall not vary
more than 1/4 (0.25) inch. Each lot shall be evaluated with a 16-foot straightedge.
The lot size shall be 2000 square yards. Smoothness measurements shall be made
at 50 foot intervals and as determined by the COTR. In the transverse direction,
smoothness readings shall be made continuously across the full width of the
pavement. However, transverse smoothness readings shall not be made across
designed grade changes. At warped transition areas, straightedge position shall be
adjusted to measure surface smoothness and not design grade transitions. When
more than 15 percent of all measurements within a lot exceed the specified
tolerance, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of the final
course of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not be
permitted. Isolated high points may be ground off providing the course thickness
complies with the thickness specified on the plans. High point grinding will be
limited to 15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15 square yards will require
removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the limitations noted
above.
6.
Grade. The finished surface and cross section of the pavement shall not vary from
the gradeline elevations and cross sections shown on the plans by more than 1/2
(0.5) inch. The finished grade of each lot will be determined by running levels at
intervals of 50 feet or less longitudinally and transversely to determine the
elevation of the completed pavement. The Contractor shall pay the cost of
surveying of the level runs that shall be performed by a licensed surveyor. The
documentation, stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor, shall be provided by
the Contractor to the COTR. The lot size shall be 2000 square yards. When more
than 15 percent of all the measurements within a lot are outside the specified
tolerance, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of the final
pavement course and replace with new material. Skin patching for correcting low
areas shall not be permitted. Isolated high points may be ground off providing the
course thickness complies with the thickness specified on the plans. The surface
of the ground pavement shall have a texture consisting of grooves between 0.090
and 0.130 inches wide. The peaks and ridges shall be approximately 1/32 inch
higher than the bottom of the grooves. The pavement shall be left in a clean
condition. The removal of all of the slurry resulting form the grinding operation
shall be continuous The grinding operation should be controlled so the residue
from the operation does not flow across other lanes of pavement. High point
grinding will be limited to 15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15 square yards
will require removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the
limitations noted above.
7.
Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA). The COTR will evaluate VMA for substantial
compliance to the minimum VMA requirements contained in Table 3 on a lot basis.
During production, a tolerance of -0.5 percent shall be applied to the minimum VMA
required for mix design as contained in Table 3. The COTR shall evaluate VMA for
compliance to Table 3 using this criterion. If the VMA is below the minimum on a
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS
P-401-23

consistent basis (three consecutive tests), the contractor shall stop paving until the
production of the contractor can demonstrate that the production of the material can
be maintained at the minimum VMA requirement. The COTR may require the JMF
to be redesigned at the Contractor’s sole expense, without increasing contract time.
Unless otherwise proven to be acceptable, the material which does not meet the
required standard and placed in the taxiway shall be removed at the contractor’s
expense.
8.
Film Thickness. The COTR will evaluate the Film Thickness for substantial
compliance to the minimum requirements contained in Table 2 on a lot basis. During
production, computational methods described in the NCAT Report 98-1 shall be
applied to the results obtained from the extracted asphalt content and aggregate
gradations obtained from paragraphs 401-6.3A and 401-6.3B
9.
Outliers. All individual tests for mat density and air voids shall be checked for
outliers (test criterion) in accordance with ASTM E 178, at a significance level of
5 percent. Outliers shall be discarded, and the PWL shall be determined using the
remaining test values.

RESAMPLING PAVEMENT.
A.
B.
General. Resampling of a lot of pavement for only mat density will be allowed if the
Contractor requests, in writing, within 48 hours after receiving the written test results from the
COTR. A retest will consist of all the sampling and testing procedures contained in
paragraphs 401-5.1B and 401-5.2C. Only one resampling per lot will be permitted.
1.
A redefined PWL shall be calculated for the resampled lot. The number of tests used
to calculate the redefined PWL shall include the initial tests made for that lot plus the
retests.
2.
The cost for resampling and retesting shall be borne by the Contractor.
Payment for Resampled Lots. The redefined PWL for a resampled lot shall be used to
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS

calculate the payment for that lot in accordance with Table 7.
C.
401-5.4
Outliers. If the tests within a lot include a very large or a very small value which appears to
be outside the normal limits of variation, check for an outlier in accordance with ASTM E
178, at a significance level of 5 percent, to determine if this value should be discarded when
computing the PWL.
METHOD OF ESTIMATING PERCENTAGE OF MATERIAL WITHIN SPECIFICATION
LIMITS (PWL)
A.
401-5.5
General. When the specifications provide for material to be sampled and tested on a
statistical basis, the material will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with this section.
All test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically, using procedures to determine the total
estimated percent of the lot that is within specification limits. This concept, termed percent
within limits (PWL), is a statistically based evaluation method, whereby the PWL is computed
on a lot basis, using the average (X) and standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number (n)
of sublot tests for the lot and the specification tolerance limits (L for lower and U for upper)
for the particular acceptance parameter. From these values, the respective Quality Index(s)
(QL for Lower Quality Index and/or QU for Upper Quality Index) is computed and the PWL
for the specified n is determined from Table 3.
METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL
The computational sequence for computing the PWL is as follows:
A.
Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the
specification.
B.
Locate the sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the random sampling
requirements of the specification.
C.
Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the measurement on the
test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification.
D.
Average all sublot values within the lot to find X by using the following formula:
X = (x1 + x2 + x3 + . . .xn) / n
Where:
X
= Average of all sublot values within a lot
x1, x2 = Individual sublot values
n
E.
= Number of sublots
Find the standard deviation Sn by use of the following formula:
Sn = [(d12 + d22 + d32 + . . .dn2) / (n-1)]1/2
PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS
P-401-26
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Taxiway Juliet 1 Rehabilitation
DA1103
December 2, 2011
Where:
Sn
= standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set
d1, d2 = deviations of the individual sublot values X1, X2 . . . from the average value X
that is: d1 = (x1 - X), d2 = (xn - X) . . dn = (xn - X)
n
F.
= number of sublots
For single sided specification limits (i.e., L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by
use of the following formula:
QL = (X - L) / Sn
Where:
L
= specification lower tolerance limit
Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 7 with QL, using
the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of QL falls
between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL.
G.
For double sided specification limits (i.e. L and U), compute the Quality Indexes QL and QU
by use of the following formulas:
QL = (X - L) / Sn and QU = (U - X) / Sn
Where:
L and U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits
Estimate the percentage of material between the lower (L) and upper (U) tolerance limits
(PWL) by entering Table 7 separately with QL and QU, using the column appropriate to the
total number (n) of measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and
percent of material below PU for each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values
shown on the table, use the next higher value of PL or PU. Determine the PWL by use of the
following formula:
PWL = (PU + PL) - 100
Where:
PL
= percent within lower specification limit
PU = percent within upper specification limit

Surface Smoothness
The Contractor shall perform quality control sampling, testing, and inspection during all
phases of the work and shall perform them at a rate sufficient to ensure that the work
conforms to the contract requirements, and at minimum test frequencies required by
paragraph 401-6.3 and Division 20 of the General Provisions. As a part of the process for
approving the Contractor’s plan, the COTR may require the Contractor’s technician to
perform testing of samples to demonstrate an acceptable level of performance.
No partial payment will be made for materials that are subject to specific quality control
requirements without an approved plan.
401-6.2
TESTING LABORATORY
The Contractor shall provide a fully equipped asphalt laboratory located at the plant or job
site. It shall be available for exclusive use by the COTR for quality control testing and
acceptance testing and must have adequate equipment for the performance of the tests
required by these specifications.
401-6.3
QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
The Contractor shall perform all quality control tests necessary to control the production and
construction processes applicable to these specifications and as set forth in the Quality
Control Program. The testing program shall include, but not necessarily limited to, tests for
the control of asphalt content, aggregate gradation, temperatures, aggregate moisture, field
compaction, and surface smoothness. A Quality Control Testing Plan shall be developed as
part of the Quality Control Program.
A.
Asphalt Content. A minimum of two extraction tests shall be performed per lot in accordance
with ASTM D 6307 or ASTM D 2172 for determination of asphalt content. Sampling of
these tests shall be done in accordance with the sublot sampling developed for acceptance in
paragraph 401-5.1(1). Additional samples may be taken by the contractor at any time. The
weight of ash portion of the extraction test, as described in ASTM D 2172, shall be
determined as part of the first extraction test performed at the beginning of plant production;
and as part of every tenth extraction test performed thereafter, for the duration of plant
production. The last weight of ash value obtained shall be used in the calculation of the
asphalt content for the mixture. The asphalt content for the lot will be determined by
averaging the test results.

The appropriate Virginia Test Method may be used in lieu of ASTM D 6307. The calibration
testing of the mix design for the Ignition Furnace shall be accomplished as noted in the test
method used and will be submitted prior to the production with the proposed mix designs.
B.
Gradation. Aggregate gradations shall be determined a minimum of twice per lot from
mechanical analysis of extracted aggregate in accordance with AASHTO T 30 and ASTM C
136 and ASTM C 117. Samples for these tests shall be in accordance with paragraph 4016.3A.
C.
Moisture Content of Aggregate. The moisture content of aggregate used for production shall
be determined a minimum of once per lot in accordance with ASTM C 566.
D.
Moisture Content of Mixture. The moisture content of the mixture shall be determined once
per lot in accordance with ASTM D 1461.
E.
Temperatures. Temperatures shall be checked, at least four times per lot, at necessary
locations to determine the temperatures of the dryer, the bitumen in the storage tank, the
mixture at the plant, and the mixture at the job site.
F.
In-Place Density Monitoring. The Contractor shall conduct any necessary testing to ensure
that the specified density is being achieved. A nuclear gauge may be used to monitor the
pavement density in accordance with ASTM D 2950.
G.
Additional Testing. Any additional testing that the Contractor deems necessary to control the
process may be performed at the Contractor's option.
H.
Monitoring. The COTR reserves the right to monitor any or all of the above testing.
401-6.4
SAMPLING
When directed by the COTR, the Contractor shall sample and test any material which appears
inconsistent with similar material being sampled, unless such material is voluntarily removed
and replaced or deficiencies corrected by the Contractor. All sampling shall be in accordance
with standard procedures specified.
