I <br /> 1 if the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test <br /> 2 procedures FOP for WAQTC TM 8 and WSDOT SOP T 729 will be used on the day the <br /> 3 mix is placed and prior to opening to traffic. <br /> 4 1 5 Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the <br /> 6 Contractor in accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches <br /> 7 minimum, unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by <br /> 8 the Contracting Agency in accordance with WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 If the Contract includes the Bid item "Roadway Core" the cores shall be obtained by the <br /> 11 Contractor in the presence of the Engineer on the same day the mix is placed and at <br /> 12 locations designated by the Engineer. If the Contract does not include the Bid item <br /> 13 "Roadway Core" the Contracting Agency will obtain the cores. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor's <br /> 16 request after the Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can <br /> 17 be produced. <br /> 18 <br /> 19 HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions <br /> 20 other than those listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation <br /> 21 of the compaction train. The test point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with <br /> 22 instructions from the Engineer. The number of passes with an approved compaction <br /> 23 train, required to attain the maximum test point density, shall be used on all subsequent <br /> 24 paving. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used for preleveling <br /> 27 wheel rutting shall be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved <br /> 28 by the Engineer. <br /> III <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Test Results <br /> 31 For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the I <br /> 32 minimum of 91 percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF <br /> 33 below 1.00 and thus subject to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request <br /> 34 that a core be used for determination of the relative density of the sublot. The relative <br /> 35 density of the core will replace the relative density determined by the nuclear density <br /> 36 gauge for the sublot and will be used for calculation of the CPF and acceptance of HMA <br /> 37 compaction lot. <br /> II <br /> 38 <br /> 39 When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they <br /> 40 shall be requested by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have <br /> 41 been provided or made available to the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of <br /> 42 wheel paths and as determined by the Engineer. Traffic control shall be provided by the <br /> 43 Contractor as requested by the Engineer. Failure by the Contractor to provide the <br /> 44 requested traffic control will result in forfeiture of the request for cores. When the CPF for <br /> 45 the lot based on the results of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost for the coring will <br /> 46 be deducted from any monies due or that may become due the Contractor under the <br /> 47 Contract at the rate of$200 per core and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the <br /> 48 traffic control. <br /> I <br /> 2021 PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE OVERLAY PAGE 62 OF 84 DIVISION T <br /> WORK ORDER 3751 MARCH 29,2021 <br />
