,.., . ..., . individual Quality Control test results by the Engineer based on the between-laboratory precision values given in Table 334-5 for Gmb. roo, If each of the core test results compare favorably, then the LOT will . be accepted with respect to density, 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 core samples . from the LOT will be sent to the Resolution laboratory for testing as specified in 334-5.6. 334-5.6 Resolution System: ...., 334-5.6.1 Plant Samples: In the event of an unfavorable comparison . between the Contractor's Quality Control test results and the Engineer's Verification test results on any of the properties identified in Table 334-5, the Resolution laboratory will test " all of the split samples from the LOT for only the property (or properties) in question. . Resolution 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. . 334-5.6.2 Roadway Samples: In the event of an unfavorable comparison between the Contractor's Quality Control test data and the Engineer's Verification test q data on the density results, the Resolution laboratory will test all of the cores from the . LOT. Testing will be as described in 334-5.1.1. Any damaged roadway cores will not be included in the evaluation; replace damaged cores with additional cores at the direction of ,.., the Engineer. . 334-5.6.3 Resolution Determination: If the Resolution laboratory results compare favorably (for the property or properties in question) with all of the Quality ,., Control results, then acceptance and payment for the LOT will be based on the Quality .

If the Resolution laboratory results do not compare favorably (for the property or properties in question) with all of the Quality Control results, then acceptance .., and payment for the LOT will be based on the Resolution test data for the LOT, and the . costs of the Resolution testing will be deducted from monthly estimates. No additional time will be granted for the impacts of any such testing. ..., In the event of an unfavorable comparison between the Resolution . test results and Quality Control test results, make the necessary adjustments to assure that future comparisons are favorable. ..., 334-5.7 Independent Verification Testing: . 334-5.7.1 Plant: Take samples as directed by the Engineer for Independent Verification testing. The Contractor can retain split samples of these samples at their ., option. Independent Verification samples will 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. If any of the results do not meet the .., requirements of Table 334-4, cease production of the asphalt mixture until the problem is . adequately resolved (to the satisfaction of the Engineer), unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the problem can immediately be (or already has been) .., resolved. Address any material represented by the failing test results in accordance with . 334-5.9.5. 334-5.7.2 Roadway: Obtain five roadway cores as directed by the Engineer 1""1 for Independent Verification testing. These independent cores will be obtained from the . r'1 . 09/09 01000-64 03-4122.F
