Material rejected before placement shall I 9 not be incorporated into the pavement. 10 11 No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the I 12 materials unless the Contractor requests the rejected material to be 13 tested. If the Contractor requests testing, acceptance will be by Statistical 14 Evaluation, and a minimum of three samples will be obtained and tested. I 15 When uncompacted material is required for testing but not available, the 16 Engineer will determine random sample locations on the roadway in 17 accordance with WSDOT Test Method T 716, take cores in accordance 18 with WSDOT SOP 734, and test the cores in accordance with WSDOT 1 19 SOP 737. 20 21 If the CPF for the rejected material is less than 0.75, no payment will be I 22 made for the rejected material; in addition, the cost of sampling and 23 testing shall be borne by the Contractor.

Such isolated material will not include an original sample 37 location. The Contracting Agency will obtain a minimum of three random I 38 samples of the suspect material and perform the testing. When 39 uncompacted material is required for testing but is not available, the 40 Engineer will select random sample locations on the roadway in I 41 accordance with WSDOT Test Method T 716, take cores samples in 42 accordance with WSDOT SOP 734, and test the material in accordance 43 with WSDOT SOP 737. The material will then be statistically evaluated as I 44 an independent lot in accordance with Section 1-06.2(2). 45 46 5-04.3(11)E Rejection —An Entire Sublot (Mixture or Compaction) 47 An entire mixture or compaction sublot that is suspected of being defective 48 may be rejected. When this occurs, a minimum of two additional random 49 samples from this sublot will be obtained. When uncompacted material is 50 required for the additional samples but the material has been compacted, 51 the Contracting Agency will take and test cores from the roadway as 52 described in Section 5-04.3(11)D.
