D <br />I <br />lu <br />r' <br />I <br />1! <br />I <br />I�IIf <br />the Quality Control split sample for gradation, asphalt binder content and volumetrics in <br />accordance with 334 - 5.1.1. Complete all Quality Control testing within one working day <br />from the time the samples were obtained. <br />334 -5.3.2 Roadway Sampling and Testing Requirements: Obtain five 6 inch <br />[150 mm] diameter roadway cores within 24 hours of placement at random locations as <br />directed by the Engineer within each sublot. Test these Quality Control samples for density <br />in accordance with 334 - 5.1.1. The Gmm used for the density evaluation will be based on <br />the Quality Control test result for the corresponding sublot. <br />On coarse mixes when the average density for an Initial Production <br />sublot is less than 93.00 percent of Gmm, or an individual core density is less than 91.00 <br />percent of Gmm, cut five 6 inch [150 mm] diameter roadway cores (at locations determined <br />by the Engineer) and have them evaluated for permeability in accordance with FM 5 -565 <br />by a laboratory as approved by the Engineer. If approved by the Engineer, the original cores <br />cut for density testing purposes may be used to evaluate permeability. <br />334 -5.3.3 Verification of Initial Production LOT: For Verification purposes <br />the Engineer will test a minimum of one split sample as described in 334 -5.1.1 from the <br />Initial Production LOT at the completion of the LOT. Results of the testing and analysis for <br />the LOT will be made available to the Contractor within one working day from when the <br />LOT is completed. <br />The Verification test results will be compared with the corresponding <br />Quality Control test results based on the between - laboratory precision values shown in <br />Table 334 -5. <br />If all of the specified mix characteristics compare favorably, then the <br />LOT will be accepted, with payment based on the Quality Control results for the LOT. <br />If any of the results do not compare favorably, then the split <br />Resolution samples from the LOT will be sent to the Resolution laboratory for testing, as <br />described in 334 -5.6. <br />334 -5.3.4 Acceptance of Initial Production LOT: The Initial Production LOT <br />shall be considered a single LOT and will receive a Composite Pay Factor as determined in <br />334 -8, based on results of the verified Quality Control tests, or as determined by the <br />Resolution System. <br />334 -5.4 Quality Control Sampling and Testing: Obtain all samples randomly as <br />directed by the Engineer. <br />Should the Engineer determine that the Quality Control requirements are not <br />being met or that unsatisfactory results are being obtained, or should any instances of <br />falsification of test data occur, approval of the Contractor's Quality Control Plan will be <br />suspended and production will be stopped. <br />334 -5.4.1 Lost or Missing Verification /Resolution Samples: In the event that <br />any of the Verification and /or Resolution samples that are in the custody of the Contractor <br />are lost, damaged, destroyed, or are otherwise unavailable for testing, the minimum <br />possible pay factor for each quality characteristic as described in 334 -8.2 will be applied to <br />the entire LOT in question, unless called for otherwise by the Engineer. Specifically, if the <br />LOT in question has more than two sublots, the pay factor for each quality characteristic <br />will be 0.55. If the LOT has two or less sublots, the pay factor for each quality <br />characteristic will be 0.80. In either event, the material in question will also be evaluated in <br />accordance with 334 - 5.9.5. <br />If any of the Verification and /or Resolution samples that are in the <br />custody of the Department are lost, damaged, destroyed or are otherwise unavailable for <br />March 2007 01000 -61 03- 4122.D `-' <br />
