ADDENDUM #1
Item Bid #01-158
Paving Various Roads

Project.
Question 1
Typical Section No. 1 shows 50'RIW and variable. How wide is the right of way on each street?
Does the entire right of way 'need to be cleared?
Answer:
The RW and all vertical and/or horizontal controls are the responsibility of the contractor to
establish. That information is in the BID Documents. As in the past there have been no surveys
done on these roads,
Question 2.
Bid item 500-3800 Class A Concrete, Incl Reinf Steel. This item could be used for various
applications such as headwalls, culverts, retaining walls, etc. of various sizes, quantities and
locations. The bidder needs more information to price this item accurately.

Answer:
This quantity of Class A Concrete, including steel is set up for the construction of INLET and
OUTLET, Ga. Std, 1125 headwalls in the event flared end sections are not adequate end
treatment. We should have included that information in the contract. However, that is obvious
since 48" pipe are included in the ,contract and the Ga, Std. 1125 Headwalls are required for
anything larger than 42", There again we may not need any 48" pipe but once the grades are
established we will have a much better idea.
Question 3
Bid item 611-4003 Reconstruct Misc Drainage Structure. No information is given telling how
deep the structures are, what size pipe is involved or the location of the structures,
Question 4
On page G-7 under MISCELLANEOUS DRAINAGE STRUCTURES it states that "There will
be no separate payment for additional depth unless specifically shown as a pay item." There is
no pay item set up for additional depth, How is the contractor to be paid if structures deeper than
6' are required? There are no depths shown for any structures.
Answer for 3 & 4
This requested information is put in all SPLOST funded contracts let by our Public Works office,
all of which AP AC has been successful bidder on, more so than any other company, in the last
10 years. It simply means that if structures are encountered that are not shown on the
plans/contract documents, we will have an item in the contract to do so thereby eliminating a
need for a change order. If such structure and/or additional depth is required the price bid for
elects to include the additional depth in LUMP SUM CONSTRUCTION. As previously stated,
no surveys hav{: been made, All grades, etc. will be determined by the contractor which will
determine the depth of any cut/fill on these roads. That activity will also determine by the
contractor which will determine the depth of any cut/fill on these roads. That activity will also
determine the size of pipes to be installed and, to some extent, the locations of the pipes, Again,
this is the method and conditions we have utilized in the previous Paving Various Roads. All
survey information must be obtained by the contractor, including determining RW limits,
Clearing always has been, and probably always will be, whatever is required to construct the
typical section. As always, we are interested in preserving any trees that do not interfere with the
proposed construction and we will stick to that on this contract. Where RW allows there will be
additional working room needed beyond the toe of slope or top of cut. Nothing new here,
Please acknowledge receipt of addendum in your bid package.
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please contact me at
(706) 821-2422.

experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI-
NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro-
gressed to the point indic:lted: that. to the best of ENGI-
N EER"s know ledge, information and belief. the quality of
the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents

cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended.

tive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to
check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specitically assigned to ENGINEER in the
Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters
or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC-

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 of Substantial 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 list. If, after considering such objec-

Other t~sts, checks, calibrations, etc. will be reported on a form developed by the
Contractor and shall become a part of the project records.
The Quality Control Program shall be submitted to the Office of Materials and
Research for initial approval. Thereafter, the' Quality Control Program shall be
included as part of the certification in the semiannual Plant Inspection Report.
2. CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: The Office of Materials and Research will
certify the Contractor's Laboratory and testing equipment to assure that the equipment
to be used is accurate and meets Departmental testing standards. Laboratories which
participate in and maintain AASHTO Accreditation for testing Asphaltic Concrete
Mixtures will be acceptable for certification by the Department provided other
contract requirements are met.
The designated Quality Control personnel must be certified by the Office of Materials
and Research prior to commencement of work. There are two certification Levels for
\
Quality Control Technicians. To become a certified Level 1- Quality Control
Technician (QCT), such persons must be able to demonstrate that they are competent
in performing the process control and acceptance tests and procedures related to Hot
Mix Asphaltic Concrete production. The Level 2-QCT shall, in addition to Level 1
requirements, be capable of and responsible for making process control adjustments.
The Engineer shall be notified in writing of any change in Quality Control personnel.
The Contractor shall have at least one designated QCT person at the plant at all times
except when daily total weight for all mix types is to be greater than 250 tons. If
daily production for all mix types of the plant is 250 tons or less, the QCT may be
responsible for conducting tests at up to two plants, subject to random number
selection. In addition, the Contractor is also required to have available, either at the
plant site or within immediate contact by phone or radio, a Level 2-QCT person
responsible for making prompt process control adjustments as necessary to correct the
mIX.
3. SAMPLING, TESTING AND INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS: Mixtures shall be

The Contractor shall maintain a Process Control Flow chart for each sieve specified
'on the Job Mix Formula and including the percent asphalt cement content. Such chart
shall include a graph plot of the deviations from the Job Mix Formula for each
test as well as the allowable range based on the Mixture Control Tolerances
specified in Section 828.
If an Acceptance test result is outside Mixture Control Tolerances specified in
Section 828, the QCT shall immediately notify the Testing Management Operations
Supervisor of results. The Level 2-QCT shall determine if a plant adjustment is
needed and immediately run a Process Control sample. If the Process Control sample
is also out of Mixture Control Tolerances, an immediate plant adjustment shall be
required and additional Process Control samples shall be taken as necessary to assure
the corrective action taken was appropriate to control the mix.
If the Contractor's QCT obtains 2 consecutive Acceptance samples out of the Mixture
Control Tolerances specified in Section 828, production shall stop immediately.
MixtUre already in storage which deviates no more than 10% in gradation and no
more than 0.7% in asphalt cement content from the Job Mix Formula may be
transported to and placed on the project subject to visual inspection and density and
smoothness requirements. Any mixture remaining in surge bins or silos shall be
rejected and disposed of at the Contractor's expense if a sample representative of the
mixture deviates more than 10% in gradation or more than 0.7% in asphalt cement
content from the Job Mix Formula. A plant correction shall be made prior to
r~suming production. Upon restarting production, no mixture shall be transported to
the project before test results of a Process Control sample from the mixture indicate
that quality control of the mixture has been restored by meeting Mixture Control
Tolerances. Any mixture produced at initial restarting that does not meet Mixture
Control tolerances shall be rejected. '
The QCT shall measure the temperature of the mixture and recor;d the results on the
load ticket each time a sample is taken. The respective load ticket shall also be signed
by the QCT for each load from which a sample is taken.
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.
4. 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
Department will take independent samples to monitor the Contractor's Quality
Control Program. For clarification, Department samples taken from opposite quarters
of material sampled by the Contractor are defined as Comparison Samples. Other
independent samples which are takefl by the Department from material produced
during the same Lot are defined as Quality Assurance samples. This Program is
further defined as follows: A A _ S

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 Contractor'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 will be 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 fiom 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 controlled 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 determine 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 notbe 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 Subsection
400.07.F. These core samples shall be used for acceptance.
5. GRADATION 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
. individuni 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, arid acceptance will
be based on the mean of the deviations from the Job Mix Formula of the total number
of tests run. 'A A _ '7

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.

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 ordinate (y axis) of the chart is percent
passing, ranging from zero to one hundred percent. The abscissa (x axis) ,is an
aritlunetic 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. Gradation control limits are based upon the
nominal maximum size. There is also a "restricted zone," that is an area on either side
of the maximum density line generally starting at the 2.36 nun sieve and extending to
the 0.30 mm (300 ~m) sieve. It is recommended that gradations be developed avoiding
the restricted zone. The Office of Materials and Research may approve use of mixtures
which have gradations that enter the restricted zone provided the Contractor supplies
acceptable test results of special proof-testing requiremen.ts as described in
Subsection 828.05, Rutting Susceptibility Testing.

markings applied Wlder this Section shall be fully maintained until Final Acceptance. If the pavement
markings are, or become, unsatisfactory in the judgement of the Engineer due to wear, weathering,
or construction activities, they sh~l be restored immediately. On resurfacing projects pavement
markings shall be provided on all surfaces that are placed over existing markings. On widening and
reconstruction projects (where the lane configuration is altered from the pre-construction layout)
pavement markings will be as required by the Plans or the Engineer. On new construction projects
pavement marking plans will be provided.
B. MA.TERIAlS: All traffic striping applied under this Section shall be a minimum four inches in width
and shall conform to the requirements of Section 652, except as modified herein. Raised pavement
markers (RPMs) shall meet the requirements of Section 654. Markings on the final surface course
which must be removed shall be a removable type. The Contractor will be permitted to use paint,
thermoplastic, or tape on pavement which is to be overlaid as part of the project, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer. Partial (skip) reflectorization (Le. reflectorizing only a portion of a stripe)
will not be allowed.
C. USAGE: The Contractor shall sequence the work in such a manner as to allow the installation of
markings in the final lane configuration at the earliest possible stage.
, Inappropriate or conflicting existing pavement markings shall be removed.
men shi.fting of traffic necessitates removal of centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall
be removed prior to', during, or immediately after any change so as to present the least interference
with traffic.
Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the
project for immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be
repaired or replaced (including leasing equipment if necessary), sO' that the removal can be
accomplished without delay.
Except for the final surface, markings on asphaltic concrete may be obliterated by an overlay course,
when approved by the Engineer. When an asphaltic concrete overlay is placed for the sole purpose
of eliminating conflictir1g markings and the m 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
fOT 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 lbJsq.
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
installation of RPMs is required.
