Results of the testing and analysis for the LOT will be made available to the Contractor within one working day from the time the LOT is completed. Verification samples shall be reheated at the target roadway compaction temperature for 1 1/2 hours, reduced to the appropriate testing size, and conditioned and tested as described in 334-5.1 .1. The Verification test results will be compared with the Quality Control test results based on the between-laboratory precision values shown in Table 334-5. . Table 334-5 Between-Laboratory Precision Values Property Maximum Difference Gmm 0.016 Gmb 0.022 Pb 0.44 percent P-200 FM 1-T 030 (Figure 2) P-8 FM 1-T 030 (Fiqure 2) If all of the specified mix characteristics compare favorably, then the LOT will be accepted, with payment based on the Contractor's Quality Control test data for the LOT. If any of the results do not compare favorably, then the Resolution samples from the LOT will be sent to the Resolution laboratory for testing, as described in 334-5.6. 334-5.5.2 Roadway Testing: At the completion of each LOT, the Engineer will determine the density (Gmb) of each core (previously tested by Quality Control) as described in 334-5.1.1 from one randomly selected sublot from the LOT. Results of the testing and analysis for the LOT will be made available to the Contractor within one working day from the time the LOT is completed. The individual Verification test results will be compared with 09/09 01000-63 03-4122.F
