<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
