Do not use note pads or work sheets to record data for later transfer to the Density Log Book. Notify the Engineer upon successful completion of Quality Control testing on each LOT. 120-10.4 Verification Comparison Criteria and Resolution Procedures: 120-10.4.1 Standard Proctor Maximum Density Determination: The Engineer will verify the Quality Control results if the results compare within 4.5 PCF [72 kg/m3] of the Verification test result. Otherwise, the Engineer will take one additional sample of material from the soil type in question. The State Materials Office or an AASHTO accredited laboratory designated by the State Materials Office will perform Resolution testing. The material will be sampled and tested in accordance with AASHTO T 99, Method C. The Engineer will compare the Resolution Test results with the Quality Control test results. If all Resolution Test results are within 4.5 PCF [72 kg/m3] of the corresponding Quality Control test results, the Engineer will use the Quality Control test results for material acceptance purposes for each LOT with that soil type. If the Resolution Test result is not within 4.5 PCF [72 kg/m3] of the Contractor's Quality Control test, the Verification Test result will be used for material acceptance purposes. 120-10.4.2 Density Testing: When a Verification or Independent Verification density test fails the Acceptance Criteria, retest the site within a 5 feet (1.5 meter) radius and the following actions will be taken: 1. If the Quality Control retest meets the Acceptance Criteria and meets the 120-10.1.1 criteria when compared with the Verification or Independent Verification test, the Engineer will accept those LOTs. 2. If the Quality Control retest does not meet the Acceptance Criteria and compares favorably with the Verification or Independent Verification test, rework and retest the LOT. The Engineer will re-verify those LOTs. 3. If the Quality Control retest and the Verification or Independent Verification test do not compare favorably, complete a new comparison analysis as defined in 120 10.1.1. Once acceptable comparison is achieved, retest the LOTs. The Engineer will perform new verification testing. Acceptance testing will not begin on a new LOT until the Contractor has a gauge that meets the comparison requirements. Record Quality Control test results in the density log book on approved Department forms provided by the Engineer. Submit the original, completed density log book to the Engineer at final acceptance. 120-10.4.3 Soil Classification: The Engineer will verify the Quality Control results if the Verification results identify matching soil classifications. Otherwise, the Engineer will take one additional sample of material from the soil type in question.
