representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI-
NEER's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI-
N EER' s review of the Application for Payment ,.and the
accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro-
gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI-
NEER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of
the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion. to the results of any
,subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents. to a
final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit'
Price Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any Olher qualifi-
cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to payment of the' amount recommended.
However. by recommending any such payment ENGINEER
will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus-
tive or continuous on-site inspections have been. made to
check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the
Contract Documents or that there ~ay not be other matters
or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC-
TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to
withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. '
14,6. ENGINEF:R's recommendation of final payment
will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER
to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC-
TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph
14.13 have been fulfilled.
, 14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if. in ENGINEER's opinion. it
would be incorrect to make such representations to OWN ER.
ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay-
ment. or. because of subsequently discovered evidence or
the results of subsequent inspections or tests. nullify any such
payment previously recommended. to such extent as may be
necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from
-loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defecri\'e, or completed Work has
been damage:1 requiring correction or replacement.
14.7.:!. the,Contract Price has been reduced by Writ-
ten Amendment Or Change Order.
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defee-
I;"e Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph
13.14. or
14.7.4. of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs
15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount
recommended by ENGIN EER because claims have been
made against OWNER on account ofCONTRACTOR's per-
formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been fikd
in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling
OWNER to a set'off against the amount recommended. but
OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice
(with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such
action.
Substantial Completion:
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work
ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify
OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is

CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGI-
NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within.
a reasonable time thereafter.,OWNER. CONTRACTOR and
ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to deter-
mine the status o[completion. If ENGIN EER does not con-
sider the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If
ENGINEER considers the Work 'substantially complete.
ENGINEER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative
certificate oLSubstantial Completion which shall fix the date
of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the
certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or cor-'
rected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days
after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make
written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the
certificate or attached lis!. If. after considering such objec-
tions. ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substan-
tially complete. ENGINEER will within fourteen days after
submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify
CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefor. If.
after consideration of OWNER's objections. ENGINEER
considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will
within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER
and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial
Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be com-
pleted or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative
certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consider-
ation of any objection's from OWN ER. At the time of delivery
of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGI-
NEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written
recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending
final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with
respect to security. operation. safety. maintenance. heat.
utilities. insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so infQrm
ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive
certificate of Substantial Completion. ENGINEER's afore-
said recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CON-
TRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CON-
TRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Com-
pletion. but OWN ER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable

TRACTOR agrees. CONTRACTOR will cenifyto OWNER
and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially
complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CON-
TRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGI-
NEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such
part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan-
tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif-
icate of Substantial Completion for that Part of the Work.
Within a reasonable time after either such request. OWNER,
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspec-
tion of that part of the Work to determine its s.atus of
completion. If EN GINEER does not consider that part of
the Work to be substantially complete. ENGINEER will
notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the
reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the

of eliminating conflicting markings and the,in place asphaltic concrete section will allow, said overlay
will be eligible for payment only if designated in the Plans, Overlays to obliterate lines will be paid
for only once and further traffic shifts in the same area. shall be accomplished with' removable
markings. Only the minimum asphaltic concrete thickness required to cover .lines (generally 60 IbJsq,
yd. of Asphaltic Concrete "H") will be allowed. Excessive build-up will not be permitted. When an
overlay for the sole purpose of eliminating conflicting markings is not allowed, the markings no longer
applicable shall be removed in accordance with Subsection 656.02. The elimination of conflicting
pavement markings by overpainting with paint or liquid asphalt is not acceptable.
D. Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are required as listed below' for all asphaltic concrete pavements
before the roadway is open to traffic. When Portland Cement Concrete is an intermediate or final
surface and is open to traffic, one calendar day is allowed for cleaning and drying before the

16 of Title 12 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, the Georgia Environmental
Policy Act (GEPA), of 1991. In compliance with GEPA, those projects for which
Federal funding is sought, and NEP A compliance is accomplished, are exempt from the
requirements of GEPA.
GEP A requires that environmental documentation be accomplished for County or City
projects if more than 50 percent of the total project cost is funded by a grant of a State
Agency or a grant of more than $250,000.00 is made by the State Agency to the
municipality or County. The "responsible official of the government agency shall
detennine if a proposed governmental action is a proposed governmental action which
may significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment".
A. THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS WOULD NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
Non-land disturbing activities and minor land disturbing activities which would not be
anticipated to significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment include the
following list. These types of projects funded with state money would not be subject to
environmental assessment of any kind. Hearing procedures outline in GEP A would not
be applicable.
1. Minor roadway and non-historic bridge projects.
a. Modernization of an existing highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, adding
shoulders, widening a single lane or less in each direction and the addition of a median
within previously disturbed existing right-of-way,
Cc-g
b. Adding auxiliary lane.. ,r localized purposes (weaving, climt_ c' speed changes, etc,), and
correcting substandard curves and intersections within previously disturbed existing r:ight-
of-way. '.
c, Non-historic bridge replacement projects in existing alignment with no detour bridge.
2. Lighting, signing, pavement marking, signalization, freeway surveillance and control systems,
and railroad protective devices,

5. Construction of bus shelters and bays within existing right-of-way.
6. Temporary replacement of a highway facility which is commenced immediately after the
Occurrence of a natural disaster or catastrophic failure to restore the highway for the health,
welfare, and safety of the public.
B. THE FOLLO\VING PROJECTS MAY NOT SIGNIFICM1L Y ADVERSELY AFFECT
THE QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT:
For projects which will cause land disturbance and for which there is no anticipation that
the project may significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment, cenain
studies will be undenaken. These studies would serve to document whether or not the
County o'r municipality should anticipate that a project might significantly adversely.
affect the quality of the environment. Documentation of the studies will be
accomplished through the use of the "GEP A Investigation Studies" checklist.
The types of projects, which would fall under the category, would include:
1. Bridge replacement projects on new location of with a detour bridge, where there are no
significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with
Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to
~tlan~. .
2. Passing lanes, median additions and widening projects, where there are no significant adverse
impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed
threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands,
3. Safety and intersection improvements where there are nb significant adverse impactS to
historic or archaeological resources, no involve~ent with Federally listed threatened and
endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands.
4. Rest area projects and truck weigh stations-with no purchase of additional tight-of-way.
...
rr.c - q
5. New location projects wh~. .here are no significant adverse impa, co historic or
archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered
species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands.
If studies demonstrate that the project will not significantly adversely affect the quality of the
environment, project files will be documented. If studies demonstrate that the project may
significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment, development of an
environmental effects report (EER) will be undertaken along with full GEPA compliance.
C, THE FOLLOWING PROJECTS MA YSIGNIFICANTL Y ADVERSELY AFFECT THE

projects result in a significant adverse effect, an EER shall be prepared.
D. EER PROCEDURE:
GEP A calls for consideration of the "cumulative effect of the proposed government
actions on the environment......if a series of proposed government actions are related
either geographically or as logical parts in a chain of contemplated actions". Therefore,
EER's for sections of roadways to be widened or built as new location facilities will
include all projects which are connected geographically or as logical parts in a chain of
contemplated actions.

When hydrated lime is to be included in the mixture, calibration of the lime system shall be
checked for accuracy a minimum of .twice weekly during production and the results of these
calibration checks shall be posted at the plant for review. Additionally, records of materials
(Asphalt Cement, Aggregates. Hydrated Lime. etc.) invoices shall be made available upon
request.
5. COMPARATIVE AND QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM: Periodic comparative testing
will be required of each QCT and will be coordinated by the Department to monitor
consistency of equipment and test procedures. In addition, the Depanment will take
independent samples to monitor the Contractor's Quality Control Program. For clarification.
Department samples taken from opposite quaners of material sampled by the Contractor are
. defined as Comparison Samples. Other independent samples which are taken by the
Department from material produced during the same Lot are defined as Quality Assurance
samples. This Program is further defined as follows:
a. Comparison Sampling and Testing: During the quartering process of Hot Mix samples. the
opposite quarters from the test specimen shall be labeled by the QCT and retained for
Department comparison testing. In addition, the remaining material removed from the total
sample shall be labeled and retained for possible Referee testing. ' These samples shall be
stored in a suitable container and secured in a protected environment. If the Contractor's
Acceptance Test results are within Mixture Control Tolerances and if the Department does
not procure these retained samples within three working days of the represented mix being
produced. these samples may be discarded.
The Department will test comparison samples on a random basis at a frequency deemed
necessary to assure that the Contractor's testing techniques are yielding accurate results.
Results of Department tests will be compared to the respective Contractor's Acceptance
tests, The maximum tolerance allowed for Comparison Samples as defined above shall be
as follows:

If Comparison tests are within these tolerances, production may continue and at the
discretion of the Engineer, the COli tractor's tests can be used as the acceptance tests for the
affected Lot. If test results are. not within these tolerances, the. corresponding Referee
Samples shall be tested by another Departmental Technician and compared to the tolerance
for Comparison Samples as given above. If test Results of Referee Samples, when
compared to the respective QCT's sample, are within these tolerances, the Contractor's
tests can be used as Acceptance Tests for the' effected Lot. If tests results are not within
these tolerances, the Contractor's Quality Control methods shall be reviewed by the Office
of Materials and Research and a thorough investigation wilLbe made if deemed necessary.
b. Quality Assurance Sampling and Testing: The Department will take samples for the
purpose of monitoring the effectiveness of the Contractor's Quality Control Program.
These samples may be obtained from the same load as QCT samples were taken or other
loads at the plant or roadway, or samples obtained immediately behind the spreader and
prior to compaction. The samples will be tested and analyzed by the Department in
accordance with standard procedures.
The Department shall randomly take and test a minimum of two Quality Assurance (QA)
samples from each five days or five Lots of production regardless of mix type or number of
projects to assure that the mixture is being adequately conlrolled and accurately sampled
and tested,

The maximum tolerance for QA samples as defined above, when compared to the Job Mix
Formula, shall be the same as the Mixture Control Tolerances as outlined in Section 828,
If test results are not within these tolerances, the Department may take another sample from
the respective mix. If tests results of the additional sample are within these tolerances,
production may continue. If test results of the additional sample are not within these
tolerances, production may continue but the Department will investigate by taking random
samples from throughout the Lot in accordance with Subsection 400,07.F. These samples
shall be used for Acceptance and the Contractor QCT test results for the respective Lot will
not be included in the Lot calculations.
Should the Engineer delermine that Quality Control requirements are not being met or that
unsatisfactory results are being obtained. prompt corrective action shall be taken by the
Contractor. Failure to take prompt corrective action will be cause for the Engineer to
discontinue acceptance of the mix. If the Engineer determines that any material is
unacceptable to leave in place, the material shall be removed and replaced at the
Contractor's expense. Any test results for materials not used in the Work shall not be
included in the calculations for Lot Acceptance.
If it is determined by the Department that the QCT has not followed procedures specified in
GSP-21 or has provided erroneous information, his or her certification may be withdrawn,
and the Contractor may be subject to punitive or legal action. Technicians who lose their
certification due to falsification of test data will not be eligible for re-certification in the
future unless approved by the State Materials and Research Engineer. In-place material
represented by unacceptable tests will be evaluated by cores in accordance with Suhsection
400.07.F. These core samples shall be used for acceptance.
cc.. -,XJ
6. GRADA TION AND ASPHALT CEMENT CONTENT: Quality Acceptance of the mixture
will be based upon the mean of the deviations from the Job Mix Formula for control sieves
. and asphalt cement content of the specified number of test results per Lot. This mean will be
determined by averaging the actual numeric value of the individual deviations from the Job
Mix Formula, disregarding whether the deviations are positive or negative amounts. The
samples shall be taken randomly in accordance with GDT-73. In the event that the designated
random load is not sampled, or less than the specified number of samples are taken, the
Contractor shall take at least two representative six inch cores from the roadway (to assure
adequate sample size). These cores shall be taken from the area where the appropriate random
load was placed, or for each portion of mix that was not sampled, and acceptance will be based
on the mean of the deviations from the Job Mix Formula of the total number of tests run.
For asphalt cement content only, on plants with digital recorders, digital printouts of liquid
asphalt cement weights may be substituted in lieu of an extraction test. The asphalt cement
content shall be calculated from the ticket representing the mixture tested for gradation. The
asphalt cement content calculated from each ticket will be considered a test.
The control sieves used in Quality Acceptance for the various types of mix are as indicated

A. The Contract Pay Item will specify the aggregate group, or blend, where applicable. See
Subsection 828,04 for explanation of aggregate groups and blends.
B, The percent finer than 751-lm will be determined in accordance with GDT-2, Alternate A or B.
C. Mixture Control Tolerances are based on the results of individual tests and are for mix
uniformity control purposes only.
0, Group I or Group II aggregate or a blend of both may be used for patching or leveling. Mixes
for patching and leveling are listed in Subsections 828.02 and 828.03.
E. Hydrated lime shall be included in all paving courses where noted. The lime shall be added at a
minimum rate of one percent of the total dry aggregate weight. In recycled mixtures, lime shall
be added at a minimum rate of one percent of the virgin aggregate portion plus a minimum of 0.5
percent of the aggregate in the Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) portion of the mixture.
Additional lime, as well as an approved heat stable anti-stripping additive, which meets
requirements of Subsection 831.04, may be required in any particular mixture when necessary
for satisfaction of governing Specification requirements. No additional payment will be made by

828.02 SUPERPA VE ASPHALTIC CONCRETE MIXTURES
A. Gradation Requirements:
Superpave utilizes the FHW A 0.45 Power gradation chart to define permissible gradations. This
chart uses a unique graphing technique to judge the cumulative particle size distribution of a
blend. The ordinale (y axis) of the chart is percent passing, ranging from zero to one hundred
percent. The abscissa (x axis) is an arithmetic scale of sieve size opening in microns raised to
' the 0.45 power.
Superpave defines nominal maximum sieve size and maximum sieve size as follows:
Nominal Maximum Sieve Size: One standard sieve size larger than the first sieve to retain
more than ten percent (10.0%).
Maximum Sieve Size: One standard sieve size larger than the nominal maximum size.
The 0.45 power maximum density line is drawn from the origin to one hundred percent (100.0%)
passing the maximum sieve size.
