The relative density of the core will replace the relative density 3 determined by the nuclear density gauge for the compaction sublot 4 and will be used for calculation of the CPF and acceptance of HMA 5 compaction lot. When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at 6 the request of the Contractor, they shall be requested by noon of the 7 next workday after the test results for the compaction sublot have 8 been provided or made available to the Contractor.
