SECTION 40
SCOPE OF WORK
40-01 INTENT OF CONTRACT. The intent of the contract is to provide for construction
and completion, in every detail, of the work described. It is further intended that the
, Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies
required to complete the work in accordance with the plans, specifications, references,
and terms of the contract.
40-02 ALTERATION OF WORK AND QUANTITIES. The Owner reserves and shall
have the right to make such alterations in the work as he may deem necessary or
desirable to complete the work originally intended. Unless otherwise specified herein, the
Owner shall be and is hereby authorized to make such alterations in the work as may
increase or decrease the originally awarded contract quantities, provided that the
aggregate of such alterations does not change the total contract cost or the total cost of
any major contract item by more than 25 percent (total cost being based on the unit
prices and estimated quantities in the awarded contract). Alterations which do not
exceed the 25 percent limitation shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety,
and the Contractor agrees to accept payment for such alterations as if the altered work
had been a part of the original contract. These alterations which are for work within the
general scope of the cOntract shall be covered by "Change Orders" issued by the Owner.
Change orders for altered work shall include extensions of contract time where, in the
Engineer's opinion, such extensions are commensurate with the amount and difficulty of
added work.
Should the aggregate amount of altered work exceed the 25 percent limitation
hereinbefore specified, such excess altered work shall be covered by supplemental
agreement. If the owner and the Contractor are unable to agree oft a unit adjustment for
any contract item that requires a supplemental agreement, the owner reserves the right to
terminate the contract with respect to the item and make other arrangements for its
completion.
All supplemental agreements involving AlP funding shall be approved by the FAA and
shall include valid wage determinations of the U.S. Secretary of Labor when the amount
of the supplemental agreement exceeds $2,000. However, if the Contractor elects to
waive the limitations on work that increases or decreases the originally awarded contract
or any major contract item by more than 25 percent, the supplemental agreement shall be
subject to the same U.S. Secretary of Labor wage determination as was included in the
originally awarded contract.
All supplemental agreements shall require consent of the Contractor's surety and
separate performance and payment bonds.
40-1
40-03 OMITTED ITEMS. The Engineer may, in the owner's best interest, omit from the
work any contract item, except major contract items. Major contract items may be omitted
by a supplemental agreement. Such omission of contract items shall not invalidate any
other contract provision or requirement.

Should a contract item be omitted or otherwise ordered to be non performed , the
Contractor shall be paid for all work performed toward completion of such item prior to the
date of the order to omit such item. Payment for work performed shall be in accordance
with the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS of Section 90.
40-04 EXTRA WORK. Should acceptable completion of the contract require the
Contractor to perform an item of work for which no basis of payment has been provided in
the original contract or previously issued change orders or supplemental agreements, the
same shall be called Extra Work. Extra work that is within the general scope of the
contract shall be covered by written change order. Change orders for such extra work
shall contain agreed unit prices for performing the change order work in accordance with
the requirements specified in the order, and shall contain any adjustment to the contract
time that, in the Engineer's opinion, is necessary for completion of such extra work.
When determined to be in the owner's best interest, the Engineer may order the
Contractor to proceed with extra work by force account as provided in the subsection
titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of Section 90.
Extra work that is necessary for acceptable completion of the project, but is not within the
general scope of the work covered by the original contract shall be covered by a
Supplemental Agreement as hereinbefore defined in the subsection titled
SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT of Section 10.
Any claim for payment of extra work that is not covered by written agreement approved
by the Owner (change order or supplemental agreement) shall be rejected by the owner.
40-05 MAINTENANCE OIF TRAF.FIC. It is the explicit intention of the contract that the
safety of aircraft, as well as the Contractor's equipment and personnel, is the most
important consideration. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall provide for
the free and unobstructed movement of aircraft in the air operations areas of the airport
with respect to his/her own operations and the operations of all his/her subcontractors as
specified in the subsection titled LIMITATION OF OPERATIONS of Section 80. It is
further understood and agreed that the Contractor shall provide for the uninterrupted

SECTION 50
CONTROL OF WORK
50-01 AUTHORITY OF THE ENGINEER. The Engineer shall decide any and all
questions which may arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work
performed, and as to the manner of performance and rate of progress of the work. He
shall decide all questions which may arise as to the interpretation of the specifications or
plans relating to the work, the fulfillment of the contract on the part of the Contractor, and
the rights of different Contractors on the project. The Engineer shall determine the
amount and quality of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished which
are to be paid for the under contract.
50-02 CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. All work and all materials
furnished shall be in reasonably close conformity with the lines, grades, grading sections,
cross sections, dimensions, material requirements, and testing requirements that are
specified (including specified tolerances) in the contract, plans or specifications.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are
not in reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications but that the portion of
the work affected will, in his opinion, result in a finished product having a level of safety,
economy, durability, and workmanship acceptable to the owner, he will advise the owner
of his/her determination that the affected work be accepted and remain in place. In this
event, the Engineer will document his/her determination and recommend to the owner a
basis of acceptance which will provide for an adjustment in the contract price for the
affected portion of the work. The Engineer's determination and recommended contract
price adjustments will be based on good engineering judgment and' such tests or retests
of the affected work as are, in his opinion, needed. Changes in the contract price shall be
covered by contract modifications (change order or supplemental agreement) as
applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials fumished, work performed, or the finished product are
not in reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications and have resulted in
an unacceptable finished product, the affected work or materials shall be removed and
replaced or otherwise corrected by and at the expense of the Contractor in accordance
with the Engineer's written orders.
- ' For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" shall not be
construed as waiving the Contractor's responsibility to complete the work in accordance
with the contract, plans, and specifications. The term shall not be construed as waiving
the Engineer's right to insist on strict compliance with the requirements of the contract,
plans, and specifications during the Contractor's prosecution of the work, when, in the

Engineer's opinion, such compliance is essential to provide an acceptable finished portion
of the work.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" is also
intended to provide the Engineer with the authority to use good engineering judgment in
his/her determinations as to acceptance of work that is not in strict conformity but will
. provide a finished product equal to or better than that intended by the requirements of the
contract, plans and specifications.
50-03 COORDINATION OF CONTRACT, PLANS, AND SPECIFICATIONS. The
contract, plans, specifications, and all referenced standards cited are essential parts of
the contract requirements. A requirement occurring in one is as binding as though
occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe and provide for
a complete work. In case of discrepancy, calculated dimensions will govern over scaled
dimensions; contract technical specifications shall govern over contract general
provisions, plans, cited standards for materials or testing, and cited FAA advisory
circulars; plans shall govern over cited standards for materials or testing and cited FAA
advisory circulars.

The Engineer will, during the progress of the work, check the accuracy of the contractor's
measurements and may, at his discretion, supplement the measurements called for in the
plans with additional lines and grades to implement the progress of the work.
Such stakes and markings as the Engineer may set for either his own or the contractor's
guidance shall be scrupulously preserved by the contractor. In case of negligence on the
part of the contractor or his employees, resulting in the destruction of such stakes or
markings, the same shall be immediately replaced by the contractor at his expense.
The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining a set of as-constructed plans on the
project at all times noting any changes, deviation, etc., with the responsibility to furnish
the owner, at the completion of the project, a set of as-constructed plans.
50-07 AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT. Whenever batching or mixing
plant equipment is required to be operated automatically under the contract and a
breakdown or malfunction of the automatic controls occurs, the equipment may be
operated manually or by other methods for a period 48 hours following the breakdown or

other requirements of the contract.
50-08 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF INSPECTORS. Inspectors employed by the
owner shall be authorized to inspect all work done and all material furnished. Such
inspection may extend to all or any part of the work and to the preparation, fabrication, or
, manufacture of the materials to be used. Inspectors are not authorized to revoke, alter, or
waive any provision of the contract. Inspectors are not authorized to issue instructions
contrary to the plans and specifications or to act as foreman for the Contractor.
Inspectors employed by the owner are authorized to notify the Contractor or his/her
representatives of any failure of the work or materials to conform to the requirements of
the contract, plans, or specifications and to reject such nonconforming materials in
question until such issues can be referred to the Engineer for his/her decision.
50-09 INSPECTION OF THE WORK. All materials and each part or detail of the work
shall be subject to inspection by the Owner's representative. The Engineer shall be
allowed access to all parts of the work and shall be furnished with such information and
assistance by the Contractor as is required to facilitate his inspection.
If the Engineer requests it, the Contractor, at any time before acceptance of the work,
shall remove or uncOver such portions of the finished work as may be directed. After
examination, the Contractor shall restore said portions of the work to the standard
required by the specifications. Should the work thus exposed or examined prove
acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making
good of the parts removed will be paid for as extra work; but should, the work so exposed
or examined prove unacceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the
covering or making good of the parts removed will be at the Contractor's expense.
Any work done or materials used without inspection by an authorized representative of
the owner may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense unless the
owner's representative failed to inspect after having been given reasonable notice in
writing that the work was to be performed. However, this in no way relieves the
Contractor from his responsibility for compliance of work with the contract.
Should the contract work include relocation, adjustment, or any other modification to
existing facilities, not the property of the (contract) owner, authorized representatives of
the owners of such facilities shall have the right to inspect such work. Such inspection
shall in no sense make any facility owner a party to the contract, and shall in no way
interfere with the rights of the parties to this contract.
The administration, inspection, assistance and actions by the Engineer or the
representative of the owner, as . herein provided, shall not be construed as undertaking

supervisory control of the construction work or of means and methods employed by the
contractor and shall not relieve the contractor from any of his responsibilities or
obligations under the contract, nor shall the contractor request or require the Engineer or
the representative of the owner to undertake such supervisory control or to act in any
manner so as to relieve the contractor from such responsibilities or obligations.
, The fact that the Engineer or the representative or the owner has not made earty
discovery of faulty work or of work omitted, or of work performed which is not in
accordance with the contract requirements, shall not bar the Engineer from subsequently
rejecting such faulty work.
50-1 0 REMOVAL OF UNACCEPTABLE AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK. All work which
does not conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications will be
considered unacceptable, unless otherwise determined acceptable by the Engineer as
provided in the subsection titled CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS of
this section.
Unacceptable work, whether the result of poor workmanship, use of defective materials,
damage through carelessness, or any other cause found to exist prior to the final
acceptance of the work, shall be removed immediately and replaced in an acceptable
manner in accordance with the provisions of the subsection titled CONTRACTOR'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK of Section 70.
No work shall be done without lines and grades in conformance with the plans and
specifications. Work done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, work done beyond
the lines shown on the plans or as given, except as herein specified, or any extra work
done without prior written approval, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be
paid for under the provisions of the contract. Work so done may be ordered removed or
replaced at the Contractor's expense.
Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply forthwith with any order of the
Engineer made under the provisions of this subsection, the Owner will have authority to
cause unacceptable work to be remedied or removed and replaced and unauthorized
work to be removed and to deduct the costs (incurred by the owner) from any monies due
or to become due the Contractor.

In the case of a contract for the placing of a course upon a course or subgrade previously
constructed, the Contractor shall maintain the previous course or subgrade during all
construction operations.
All costs of maintenance work during construction and before the project is accepted shall
be included in the unit prices bid on the various contract items, and the Contractor will not
be paid an additional amount for such work.
50-13 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE WORK. Should the Contractor at any time fail to
maintain the work as provided in the subsection titled MAINTENANCE DURING
CONSTRUCTION of this section, the Engineer shall immediately nqtify the Contractor of
such noncompliance. Such notification shall specify a reasonable time within which the
Contractor shall be required to remedy such unsatisfactory maintenance condition. The
time specified will give due consideration to the exigency that exists.
Should the Contractor fail to respond to the Engineer's notification, the Owner may
suspend any work necessary for the owner to correct such unsatisfactory maintenance
condition, depending on the exigency that exists. Any maintenance cost incurred by the
owner shall be deducted from monies due or to become due the Contractor.
50-14 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE. If at any time during the prosecution of the project the
Contractor substantially completes a usable unit or portion of the work, the occupancy of
which will benefit the owner, he may request the Engineer to make final inspection of that
unit. If the Engineer finds upon inspection that the unit has been satisfactorily completed
in compliance with the contract, the Owner may accept it as being completed, and the
Contractor may be relieved of further responsibility for that unit. Such partial acceptance
and beneficial occupancy by the owner shall not void or alter any provision of the
contract.

50-15 FINAL ACCEPTANCE. Upon due notice from the Contractor of presumptive
completion of the entire project, the Engineer and owner will make an inspection. If all
construction provided for and contemplated by the contract is found to be completed in
accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications, such inspection shall constitute
the final inspection. The Engineer shall notify the Contractor in writing of final acceptance
as of the date of the final inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being
unsatisfactory, the Engineer will give the Contractor instructions for correction of same,
and the Contractor shall immediately comply with and execute such instructions. Upon
correction of the work, another inspection will be made which shall constitute the final
inspection, provided the work has been satisfactorily completed and the Engineer will
make the final acceptance. In such event, the Engineer will make the final acceptance
and notify the Contractor in writing of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection.
Such final acceptance shall in no way relieve the Contractor from responsibility for
defective work.
50-16 CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES. If for any reason the Contractor
deems that additional compensation is due him for work or materials not clearly provided
for in the contract, plans, or specifications or previously authorized as extra work, he shall
notify the Engineer in writing of his/her intention to claim such additional compensation
before he begins the work on which he bases the claim. If such notification is not given or
the Engineer is not afforded proper opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict
account of actual cost as required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim
for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the
Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be construed as
proving or substantiating the validity of the claim. When the work on which the claim for
additional compensation is based has been completed, the Con~ractor shall, within 10
calendar days, submit his/her written claim to the Engineer who will present it to the
owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor's right to
dispute final payment based on differences in measurements or computations.

AREA of the airport on an intermittent basis (intermittent opening and closing of the AIR
OPERATIONS AREA), the Contractor shall maintain constant communications as
hereinafter specified; immediately obey all instructions to vacate the AIR OPERATIONS
AREA; immediately obey all instructions to resume work in such AIR OPERATIONS
AREA. Failure to maintain the specified communications or to obey instructions shall be
cause for suspension of the Contractor's operations in the AIR OPERATIONS AREA until
the satisfactory conditions are provided.

satisfactory quality of work. Equipment used on any portion of the work shall be such that
no injury to previously completed work, adjacent property, or existing airport facilities will
result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the
work are not prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or
, equipment that will accomplish the work in conformity with the requirements of the
contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods
and equipment shall be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the
Contractor desires to use a method or type of equipment other than specified in the
contract, he may request authority from the Engineer to do so. The request shall be in
writing and shall include a full description of the methods and equipment proposed and of
the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval is given, it will be on the
condition that the Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with
contract requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the
Engineer determines that the work produced does not meet contract requirements, the
Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall
complete the remaining work with the specified methods and equipment. The Contractor
shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such
other corrective action 'as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of

writing, to suspend work for some unforeseen cause not otherwise provided for in the
contract and over which the Contractor has no control, the Contractor may be reimbursed
for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown. No allowance will
be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the
effective date of the order to suspend work to the effective date of the order to resume the
work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time
period stated in the order to resume work. The Contractor shall submit with his/her claim
information substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will forward the

compensation for delays due to inclement weather, for suspensions made at the request
of the Contractor, or for any other delay provided for in the contract, plans, or
specifications.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor
shall store all materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction to aircraft
traffic, be damaged or cause deterioration of the work performed and provide for normal
drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary
to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
80-07 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of
calendar days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and shall
be known as the CONTRACT TIME.
The CONTRACT TIME shall consist of the number of calendar days stated in the
proposal counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all
Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and nonwork days. All calendar days elapsing between
the effective dates of the Engineer's orders, acting for the Owner, to suspend and resume
all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded.
If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his/her control to complete the
work within the contract time as specified, or as extended in accordance with the
provisions of this section, he may, at any time prior to the expiration of the contract time
as extended, make a written request to the Owner for an extension of time setting forth
the reasons which he believes will justify the granting of his/her request. The Contractor's
plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If the
Owner finds that the work was delayed because of conditions beyond the control and
without the fault of the Contractor, he may extend the time for completion in such amount
as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force and
effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion.
80-08 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. Time is of the essence of this contract.
Certain airport facilities will be unusable while the contract is in progress and the owner
could experience a loss of revenues. The owner is willing to accept the loss of revenue
as part of the cost of making the needed improvements, up to the time specified for
completion of the work. However, for each calendar day that any part of the work
remains uncompleted after the date stipulated for completion of the work in the contract,
or as extended by additional work or materials ordered after the contract is signed, the
sum shown in the proposal shall be deducted from any monies due the contractor or if no
money is due the contractor, the owner shall have the right to recover said sum or sums
from the contractor from the surety or from both. The amount of these deductions are to
cover liquidated damages to the owner incurred by additional and other expenses and

loss of revenues due to the failure of the contractor to complete the work or any part of
the work within the time specified.
Permitting the contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time
fixed for its completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been
extended, will in no way operate as a waiver on the part of the owner of any of its rights
under the contract.
80-09 DEFAULT AND TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The Contractor shall be
considered in default of hislher contract and such default will be considered as cause for
the owner to terminate the contract for any of the following reasons if the Contractor:
a. Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in the
"Notice to Proceed," or
b. Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers, equipment or
materials to assure completion of work in accordance with the terms of the contract, or

of the facts of such delay, neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to comply with
such notice, have full power and authority without violating the contract, to take the
prosecution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor. The owner may appropriate
or use any or all materials and equipment that have been mobilized for use in the work
and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for the completion of said contract
according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods as in the
opinion of the Engineer will be required for the completion of said contract in an
acceptable manner.
All costs and charges incurred by the owner, together with the cost of completing the work
under contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the
Contractor. If such expense exceeds the sum which would have been payable under the
contract, then the Contractor and the surety shall be liable and shall pay to the owner the
amount of such excess.
80-1 0 TERMINATION fOR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. The owner shall terminate the
contract or portion thereof by written notice when the Contractor is prevented from
proceeding with the construction contract as a direct result of an Executive Order of the
President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 90
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES All work completed under the contract will
be measured by the Engineer, or his/her authorized representatives, using United
States Customary Units of Measurement or the International System of Units.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of
quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those
methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be
made horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave-outs)
having an area of 9 square feet or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse
measurements for area computations will be the neat dimensions shown on the plans
or ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to
fit field conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot
such as electrical ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be
measured parallel to the base orfoundation upon which such items'are placed.
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable
methods will be used. '
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated
metal pipe, metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified
and measured in decimal fraction of inches.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois. All
materials which are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on
accurate, approved scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations designated by
the Engineer. If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided
that only the actual weight of material be paid for. However, car weights will not be
acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul
material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the
Engineer directs, and each truck- shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.
90-1
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved
vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may
be of any size or type acceptable to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such
shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined. All vehicles
shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity, and all loads shall be leveled when
the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery.
When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material
specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be weighed, and such weights will be
converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight
measurement to volume measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be
agreed to by the Contractor before such method of measurement of pay quantities is
used.
Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon or ton. When measured by
volume, such volumes will be measured at 600 F or will be corrected to the volume at
600 Fusing ASTM D 4311 for asphalts or ASTM D 633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail
shipments will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when
bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted, or otherwise
not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by
volume, subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities.
Cement will be measured by the ton or hundredweight.
Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (M.F.B.M.) actually
incorporated in the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and
thicknesses and the extreme length of each piece.
The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment
for the work described in the contract.
When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as
the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and
accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and
necessary traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special
equipment ordered by the Engineer in connection with force account work will be
measured as agreed in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing such
force account work as provided in the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA AND
FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of this section.

When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled
shapes, pipe conduit, etc.; and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section
dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be nominal weights or
dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited specifications,
manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materia1s which are required to be proportioned or measured and
paid for by weight shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be
certified permanently installed commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight throughout the
range of use. The Contractor shall have the scales checked under the observation of
the inspector before beginning work and at such other times as requested. The
intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the graduated or marked length of the
beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1 percent of the nominal rated capacity
of the scale, but not less than 1 pound. The use of spring balances will not be
permitted.
Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the
operator and the inspector can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50-pound weights for testing the
weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform
scales shall be installed and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at
each end. '
Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to
operate, and all materials received subsequent to the last prevIous correct weighing-
accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1
percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating less
than correct weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the
Contractor will be allowed for materials previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining
scales; for furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in
this subsection, for the weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be
included in the unit contract prices for the various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the
pay quantities in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for
such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of

payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the
dimensions.
90-02 SCOPE OF PAYMENT The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation
provided for in the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for performing all
work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss,
damage, or expense of whatever character arising out of the nature of the work or the
prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions of the subsection titled NO WAIVER OF
LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the "basis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires that the
contract price (price bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to
the item, this same work or material will not also be measured for payment under any
other contract item which may appear elsewhere in the contract, plans, or
specifications.
90-03 COMPENSATION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES When the accepted quantities
of work vary from the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment
in full, so far as contract items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for
the accepted quantities of work actually completed and accepted. No allowance,
except as provided for in the subsection titled ALTERATION OF WORK AND
QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected
reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the Contractor
which results directly from such alterations or indirectly from, his/her unbalanced
allocation of overhead and profit among the contract items, or from any other cause.
90-04 PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS As specified in, the subsection titled
OMITTED ITEMS of Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work
(order nonperformance) any contract item, except major contract items, in the best
interest of the Owner.

SECTION 110
METHOD OF ESTIMATING PERCENTAGE OF MATERIAL WITHIN SPECIFICATION
LIMITS (PWL)
110-01 GENERAL. When the specifications provide for acceptance of material based
on the method of estimating percentage of material within specification limits (PWL), the
PWL will be determined in accordance with this section. All test results for a lot will be
analyzed statistically to determine the total estimated percent of the lot that is within
specification limits. The PWL is computed using the sample average (X) and sample
standard deviation (Sn) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the
specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance
parameter. From these values, the respective Quality index(s), QL for Lower Quality
Index and/or Qu for Upper Quality Index, is computed and the PWL for the lot for the
specified n is determined from Table 1.
There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because
only a small fraction of production material (the population) is sampled and tested. This
uncertainty exists because all portions of the production material have the same
probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor's risk is the probability that material
produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a pay adjustment.
The Owner's risk is the probability that material produced at the rejectable quality level
is accepted.
IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS SECTION TO INFORM THE CONTRACTOR THAT, IN
ORDER TO CONSISTENTLY OFFSET THE CONTRACTOR'S RISK FOR MATERIAL
EVALUATED, PRODUCTION QUALITY (USING POPULATION AVERAGE AND
POPULATION STANDARD DEVIATION) MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE
ACCEPTABLE QUALITY SPECIFIED OR HIGHER. IN ALL CASES, IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO PRODUCE AT QUALITY LEVELS
THAT WILL MEET THE SPECIFIED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN SAMPLED AND
TESTED AT THE FREQUENCIES SPECIFIED.
110-02 METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL. The computational sequence for
computing PWL is as follows:
a. Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements
of the specification.
b. Locate the random sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the
requirements of the specification.
c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the
measurement on the test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of
the specification.
d. Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the
following formula:

x = (Xl + x2 + x3 + . . .x,,) / n
Where: X = Sample average of all sublot values within a lot
Xl' X2 = Individual sublot values
n = Number of sublots
e. Find the sample standard deviation (Sn) by use of the following formula:
Sn = [(d/ + d/ + d/ + . . .d/)/(n-1 Wl2
Where: Sn = Sample standard deviation of the number of sublot values in
the set
dl, d2, ...= Deviations of the individual sublot values Xl' X2' ... from the
average value X
that is: dl = (Xl - X), d2 = (x2 - X) ... dn = (x" - X)
n = Number of sublots
For single sided specification limits (Le., L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by
use of the following formula:
QL = (X - L) / Sn
Where: L = specification lower tolerance limit.
Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 with
OL' using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of
OL falls between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL.
g. For double sided specification limits (Le. Land U), compute the Quality Indexes
QL and Qu by use of the following formulas:
OL = (X - L) / Sn and Ou = (U - X) / Sn
Where:
Land U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits
Estimate the percentage of material between the lower (L) and upper (U) tolerance limits
(PWL) by entering Table 1 separately with QL and Qu, using the column appropriate to the
total number (n) of measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and
percent of material below Pu for each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between
values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PL or Pu. Determine the PWL by
use of the following formula:
PWL = (Pu + PL) - 100

substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade,
and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and
women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female
employees or trainees from contractor to contractor or from project to project,
for the sole purpose of meeting the contractor's goals, shall be a violation of
the contract, the Executive Order, and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4,
Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours
performed.

a. Minimum Wages.
(1) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be
paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without
subsequent deduction or rebate on any account (except such payroll deductions
as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the
Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 31), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe
benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at rates
not less than those contained in the wage determination' of the Secretary of
Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor
and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1 (b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon
Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of subparagraph a.(4) below; also, regular
contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less
often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs which cover the particular
weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such
weekly periods.' Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate
wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of
work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided in paragraph
d. of this clause. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one
classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for
the time actually worked therein: Provided, that the employer's payroll records
accurately set forth the, time spent in each classification in which work is
performed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and
wage rates conformed under a.(2) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon poster
GP-120-5
(WH-1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at
the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it can easily be
seen by the workers. '
(2) (I) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under
the contract shall be classified in conformance with the wage determination. The
contracting officer shall approve an additional classification and wage rate and
fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria have Ireen met:
(A) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by
a classification in the wage determination; and
(B) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(C) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a
reasonable relationship to the wage rates contained in the wage
determination.
(ii) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the
classification (if known), or their representatives, and the contracting officer
agree on the dassification and wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by
the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division,
Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington,
D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will approve,

fringe benefits where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer the
questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation
of the, contracting officer, to the Administrator. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative will issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and

workers performing work in the classification under this contract from the first day
on which work is performed in the classification.

laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an
hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage
determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash
equivalent thereof.

trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor the full
amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any laborer
or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on
the site of work, all or part of the wages required by the 'contract, the Federal
Aviation Administration may after written notice to the contract, sponsor, applicant,
or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any
further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have ceased.

(including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits
or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in section 1 (b)(2)(B) of the
Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made
and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under
GP-120-7
paragraph a.(4) of this clause that the wages of any laborer or mechanic include
the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a
plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, the
contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide
such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially responsible,
and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual
costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices .or
trainees under approved programs shall maintain written- evidence of the
registration of apprenticeship programs and certification 'of trainee programs, the
registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates
prescribed in the applicable programs. (Approved by the Office of Management
and Budget under OMB control numbers 1215-0140 and 1215-0017).

is performed a copy of all payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the
case may be, for transmission to the Federal Aviation Administration. The
payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information
required to be maintained under paragraph c.(1) above. This information may be
submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this
purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal

payrolls by all subcontractors. (Approved by the Office of Management and
Budget under OMB control number 1215-0149).
(ii) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of
Compliance," signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who
pays or supervises the payment of the persons employed, under the contract and
shall certify the following:
(A) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be
maintained under paragraph c.(1) above and that such information is correct
and complete;
(B) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice and
trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll period has been paid the
full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either directly or indirectly, and that
no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full wages
earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations 29 CFR
Part 3;
(C) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable
wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of

c.(1) of this section available for inspection, copying or transcription by authorized
representatives of the sponsor, the Federal Aviation Administration or the
Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview employees
during work hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the
required records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written
notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant or owner, take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee
of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to

(1) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they performed when 'they are employed
pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program
registered with U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Trainin'g, or with a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in
his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but
who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary
employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen
on the job site' in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio
permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered
program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not
registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than
the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work
actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in
excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less
than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually
performed_ Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a

locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage
rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the
contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every
apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe
benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the
wage determination for the applicable classification.' If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice
classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the
event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship
Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilized apprentices at less
than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
(2) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to
work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are
employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has
received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department
of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to
journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must
be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for trainee's
level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate
specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee, program.lf the trainee
program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount
of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of
the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program
associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage
determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices.
Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and
participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any
trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the
wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the
Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than
the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable
program is approved.

3. If the contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan
approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually
or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the plan
area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that plan for
those trades which have unions participating in the plan. Contractors must be
able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of
any such Hometown Plan. Each contractor or subcontractor participating in an
approved plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the
EEO clauses and to make a good faith effort to achieve each-goal under the plan
in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by
other contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved plan does not
excuse any covered contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith
efforts to achieve the plan goals and timetables.
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided
in paragraphs 7.a through p. of these specifications. The goals set forth in the
solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the
total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the
contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in
which it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contracts
performing construction work in a geographical area where they do not have a
Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and
female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being
performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice
form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers.
The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its
goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a
union with whom the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement to refer
either minorities or women shall excuse the contractor's obligations under these
specifications, Executive Order 11246, as amended, or the regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto.
In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be
counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed
by the contractor during the training period and the contractor must have made a
commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their
training, subject -to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must
be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of
Labor.
The contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure EEO. The
evaluation of the contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be
GP-120-15
.,.~.........-;~..-:~~_..,.,......-....-:-...-~~~.,...~_~..,.,...,,~..___, ~ "".. r...-r...---:-.....~"
based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The
contractor shall document these efforts fully and shall implement affirmative
action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation,
and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the contractors
employees are assigned to work. The contractor, where possible, will assign
two or more women to each construction project. The contractor shall
specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents;~ -and other onsite
supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the contractor's obligation
to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or
female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment
sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment
sources and to community organizations when the contractor or its unions
have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the
organizations' responses.
c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of
each minority and female off-the-street applicant and community organization
and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such
individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred
back to the contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the
contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefore
along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or
unions with which the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has
not referred to the contractor a minority person or woman sent by the
contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union
referral process has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
e, Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training
programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women,
including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs
relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs
funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The contractor shall provide
notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to
unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting
the contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy
manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company
newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all

management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least
once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards
accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is
performed.
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action
obligations under these specifications with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination, or other employm~nt
decisions including specific review of these items with- onsite supervisory
personnel such as superintendents, general foremen, etc., prior to the
initiation of construction work at any job site, A written record shall be made
and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons
attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any
advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female
news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the
contractor's EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom
the contractor does or anticipates doing business.
.
.
iii
I. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and
community organizations; to schools with minority and female students; and
to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the
contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one
month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship
or other training by any recruitment source, the contractor shall send written
notification to organizations, such as the above, describing the openings,
screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
J. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority
persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer,
and vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and
in other areas of a contractor's workforce.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an
obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
I. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation, at least of all minority
and female personnel. for promotional opportunities and encourage these
employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such
opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and
other personnel practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually
monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the
GP-120-17
,
EEO policy and the contractor's obligations under these specifications are
being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegregated except
that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be
provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts
from minority and female construction contractors and-suppliers, including
circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and
other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and
performance under the contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action
obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist
in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7.a through p.).
The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor union, contractor
community, or other similar groups of which the contractor is a member and
participant, may be asserted as fulfilling anyone or more of its obligations under
7.a through p, of these specifications provided that the contractor actively
participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a
positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry,
ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the contractor's
minority and female workforce participation, makes a good ~aith effort to meet its
individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which
demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the contractor. The
obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's; and fai!ure of such a group to
fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been
established. The contractor, however, is required to provide EEO and to take
affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women,
both minority and non-minority. Consequently, the contractor may be in violation
of the executive order if a particular group is employed in a substantially
disparate manner (for example, even though the contractor has achieved its
goals for women generally, the contractor may be in violation of the executive
order if a specific minority group of women is under-utilized).
10, The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action
standards to discriminate against any persons because of race, color, religion,
sex, or national origin.

specifications.
COMPOSITION
401-3.1 COMPOSITION OF MIXTURE. The bituminous plant mix shall be composed
- of a mixture of well-graded aggregate, filler if required, and bituminous material. The
several aggregate fractions shall be sized, handled in separate size groups, and
combined in such proportions that the resulting mixture meets the grading requirements
of the job mix formula (JMF).
401-3.2 JOB MIX FORMULA. No bituminous mixture for payment shall be produced
until a job mix formula has been approved by the Engineer. The bituminous mixture
shall be designed using procedures contained in Chapter III, MARSHALL METHOD OF
MIX DESIGN, of the Asphalt Institute's Manual Series No. 2 (MS-2), Mix Design
Methods for Asphalt Concrete, and shall meet the requirements of Tables 1 and 2.
The design criteria in Table 1 are target values necessary to meet the acceptance
requirements contained in paragraph 401-5.2b. The criteria is based on a production
process which has a material variability with the following standard deviations:
Stability (Ibs.) = 270
Flow (0.01 inch) = 1.5
Air Voids (%) = 0.65
If material variability exceeds the standard deviations indicated, the job mix formula and
subsequent production targets should be based on a stability greater than shown in
Table 1, and the flow and air voids should be targeted close to the mid-range of the
criteria in order meet the acceptance requirements.
If the Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of the composite mixture, as determined by ASTM D
4867, is less than 75, the aggregates shall be rejected or the asphalt treated with an
approved anti-stripping agent. The amount of anti-stripping agent added to the asphalt
shall be sufficient to produce a TSR of not less than 75. If an antistrip agent is required,
it will be provided by the Contractor at no additional cost.
The job mix formula shall be submitted in writing by the Contractor to the Engineer at
least 14 days prior to the start of paving operations and shall include as a minimum:
a. Percent passing each sieve size.
b. Percent of asphalt cement.
c. Asphalt viscosity or penetration grade.

properties (including viscosity and penetration) of the asphalt blend.
The Contractor shall submit documentation to the Engineer, indicating that the mixing
equipment proposed for use is adequate to mix the percent of RAP shown in the job mix
formula and meet all local and national environmental regulations.
401-3.4 TEST SECTION. Prior to full production, the Contractor shall prepare and
place a quantity of bituminous mixture according to the job mix formula. The amount of
mixture should be sufficient to construct a test section 300' long and 20' wide placed in
two lanes, with a longitudinal cold joint, and shall be of the same depth specified for the

construction of the test section shall be the same type and weight to be used on the
remainder of the course represented by the test section.
Three random samples shall be taken at the plant and tested for stability, flow, and air
voids in accordance with paragraph 401-5.1 a(2). Two random samples of mixture shall
be taken at the plant and tested for aggregate gradation and asphalt content in
accordance with paragraphs 401-6.3a and 3b and evaluated in accordance with
paragraphs 401-6.5a and 5b. Three randomly selected cores shall be taken from the
finished pavement mat, and three from the longitudinal joint, and tested in accordance
with paragraph 401-5.1 b(4). Random sampling shall be in accordance with procedures
contained in ASTM D 3665.
Mat density and air voids shall be evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2f(1).
Stability and flow shall be evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2f(2). Joint
density shall be evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2f(3).
Voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), for each plant sample, shall be computed in
accordance with procedures contained in Chapter III, MARSHALL METHOD OF MIX
DESIGN, of the Asphalt Institute's Manual Series NO.2 (MS-2), Mix Design Methods for
Asphalt Concrete.
The test section shall be considered acceptable if; 1) stability, flow, mat density, air
voids, and joint density are 90 percent or more within limits, 2) gradation and asphalt
content are within the action limits specified in paragraphs 401-6.5a and 5b, and 3) the
voids in the mineral aggregate is within the limits of Table 2.
If the initial test section should prove to be unacceptable, the necessary adjustments to
the job mix formula, plant operation, placing procedures, and/or rolling procedures shall
be made. A second test section shall then be placed. If the second test section also
does not meet specification requirements, both sections shall be removed at the
Contractor's expense. Additional test sections, as required, shall be constructed and
evaluated for conformance to the specifications. Any additional sections that are not
acceptable shall be removed at the Contractor's expense. Full production shall not
begin until an acceptable section has been constructed and accepted by the Engineer.
The initial test section, whether acceptable or unacceptable, and any subsequent
section that meets specification requirements shall be paid for in accordance with
paragraph 401-8.1.
Job mix control testing shall be performed by the Contractor at the start of plant
production and in conjunction with the calibration of the plant for the job mix formula. It
should be recognized that the aggregates produced by the plant may not satisfy the
gradation requirements or produce a mix that exactly meets the JMF. In those
instances, it will be necessary to reevaluate and redesign the mix using plant-produced
aggregates. Specimens should be prepared and the optimum bitumen content
determined in the same manner- as for the original design tests.

401-4.8 PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURE. The aggregates and the
bituminous material shall be weighed or metered and introduced into the mixer in the
amount specified by the job mix formula.
The combined materials shall be mixed until the aggregate obtains a uniform coating of
bitumen and is thoroughly distributed throughout the mixture. Wet mixing time shall be
the shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture, but not less than 25 seconds
- for batch plants. The wet mixing time for all plants shall be established by the
Contractor, based on the procedure for determining the percentage of coated particles
described in ASTM D 2489, for each individual plant and for each type of aggregate
used. The wet mixing time will be set to achieve 95 percent of coated particles. For
continuous mix plants, the minimum mixing time shall be determined by dividing the
weight of its contents at operating level by the weight of the mixture delivered per
second by the mixer. The moisture content of all bituminous mix upon discharge shall
not exceed 0.5 percent.
401-4.9 PREPARATION OF THE UNDERLYING SURFACE. Immediately before

The mix shall be placed and compacted at a temperature suitable for obtaining density,
surface smoothness, and other specified requirements but not less than 250 degrees F.
Upon arrival, the mixture shall be placed to the full width by a bituminous paver. It shall
be struck off in a uniform layer of such depth that, when the work is completed, it shall
have the required thickness and conform to the grade and contour indicated. The
speed of the paver shall be regulated to eliminate pulling and tearing of the bituminous
mat. Unless otherwise permitted, placement of the mixture shall begin along the
centerline of a crowned section or on the high side of areas with a one-way slope. The
mixture shall be placed in consecutive adjacent strips having a minimum width of 10
feet except where edge lanes require less width to complete the area. The longitudinal
joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal joint in the course immediately below by
at least 1 foot; however, the joint in the surface top course shall be at the centerline of
the pavement. Transverse joints in one course shall be offset by at least 10 feet from

On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical
spreading and finishing equipment impractical, the mixture may be spread and luted by
hand tools.
401-4.11 COMPACTION OF MIXTURE. After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly
and uniformly compacted by rolling. The surface shall be compacted as soon as
possible when the mixture has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not
cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations
and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the Contractor.
The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of
the hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any displacement occurring as a result
of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any other cause, shall be corrected at
once.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall
continue until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the
required field density is obtained.
To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly
moistened (and scrapers used), but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with
hand tampers.
Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-cracking,
or in any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and
immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall be done at
the Contractor's expense. Skin patching shall not be allowed.
401-4.12 JOINTS. The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to
ensure a continuous bond between the courses and obtain the required density. All
joints shall have the same texture as other sections of the course and meet the
requirements for smoothness and grade.
The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture except
when necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint,
it shall be made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course. The tapered
edge shall be cut back to its full depth and width on a straight line to expose a vertical
face prior to placing the adjacent lane. In both methods, all contact surfaces shall be
given a tack coat of bituminous material before placing any fresh mixture against the
joint.
Longitudinal joints which are irregular, damaged, uncompacted, or otherwise defective
shall be cut back to expose a clean, sound surface for the full depth of the course. All

lot to be terminated before the specified number of tests have been made for the lot, or
. when the Contractor and Engineer agree in writing to allow' overages or other minor
tonnage placements to be considered as partial lots, the following procedure will be
used to adjust the lot size and the number of tests for the lot.
The last batch produced where production is halted will be sampled, and its properties
shall be considered as representative of the particular sublot from which it was taken.
Where three sublots are produced, they shall constitute a lot. Where one or two sublots
are produced, they shall be incorporated into the next lot, and the total number of
sublots shall be used in the acceptance plan calculation, Le., n = 5 or n = 6, for
example.
d. Partial Lots - Field Placed Material. The lot size for field placed material shall
correspond to that of the plant material, except that, in no cases, less than (3) cored

401-5.2 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA.
a. General. Acceptance will be based on the following characteristics of the
bituminous mixture and completed pavement as well as the implementation of the
Contractor's Quality Control plan and test results:
(1) Stability
(2) Flow
(3) Air voids
(4) Mat density
(5) Joint density
(6) Thickness
(7) Smoothness
(8) Grade
Stability, flow, air voids, mat density, and joint density will be evaluated for acceptance
on a lot basis using the method of estimating percentage of material within specification
limits (PWL). Acceptance using PWL considers the variability (standard deviation) of
the material and the testing procedures, as well as the average (mean) value of the test
results to calculate the percentage of material that is above the lower specification
tolerance limit (L) or below the upper specification tolerance limit (U).
Thickness will be evaluated by the Engineer for compliance in accordance with
paragraph 401-5.2.f(4). Acceptance for smoothness will be based on the criteria
contained in paragraph 401-5.2f(5). Acceptance for grade will be based on the criteria
contained in paragraph 401-5.2f(6).
The Engineer may at any time, n'ot withstanding previous plant acceptance, reject and
require the Contractor to dispose of any batch of bituminous mixture which is rendered

PREPARATION AND SEALING OF CRACKS IN ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
A. Soil Sterilization: A minimum of two weeks prior to scheduling routing,
cleaning, filling and sealing of joints and cracks, the Contractor shall apply
a mixture of herbicide and soil sterilant chemicals to vegetated areas of
pavements. If, at the time the Contractor plans to start cleaning
operations, chemicals have not performed to the Engineer's satisfaction, a
second application of chemicals shall be applied and the cleaning
operations delayed until authorized by the Engineer. '
B. Routing: Cracks having an average width opening less than % inch shall
be routed to provide a minimum sealant reservoir of % inch wide and % to
% inch deep.
C. Cleaning: Joints and cracks containing visible soil and vegetation, joints
and cracks routed, and other joints and cracks as directed by the Engineer
shall be blown out using a power blower or air compressor to a depth
satisfactory to the Engineer. Joints and cracks shall be free of vegetation,
dirt, dust, moisture, and other foreign material. The pavement surface
shall be kept clean to avoid re-entry of soil or other foreign material into
the joints and cracks.

encountered with insufficient width to receive the filler material. These
joints shall be widened as required.
The joints or cracks shall be filled from the bottom to a level which will
provide a recess of approximately % inch below the pavement surface
after filler material has settled. The filler material shall be allowed
sufficient time to cure before joints and cracks are sealed. The Engineer
shall determine when material has sufficiently cured. Spillage or overflow
of material onto pavement surface shall be cleaned to the satisfaction of
the Engineer.
Sealing: Joints and cracks shall be inspected for proper width, depth,
alignment and preparation, and must have the approval of the Engineer
before sealing is allowed. The pre-packaged sealant mixture shall be
placed in the field installation equipment and heated in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations. The sealant shall not be heated to
more than 200F below the safe heating temperature. The safe heating
temperature can be obtained from the manufacturer's shipping container.
The sealant shall be. applied uniformly at the manufacturer's
recommended application temperature from bottom of joint or crack
without formation of entrapped air or voids.
PREPARATION AND SEALING OF JOINTS AND CRACKS IN PCC
PAVEMENTS
A. Soil Sterilization: A minimum of two weeks prior to scheduled routing,
cleaning, filling and sealing of joints and cracks, the Contractor shall apply
a mixture of herbicide and soil sterilant chemicals to vegetated areas of
pavement. If, at the time the Contractor plans to start cleaning operations,
chemicals have not performed to the Engineer's satisfaction, a second
application of chemicals shall be applied by the Contractor and the
cleaning operations delayed until authorized by the Engineer.

Remove Existing Sealant: The existing sealant in the joints is to be
completely removed. The Contractor shall exercise utmost care in this
removal (and cleaning) operation to minimize damaging or excessively
enlarging the existing width of the joint. Any damaged areas are to be
repaired by the Contractor at no cost to the Department or Airport Owner.
Determine Depth of Joint: The depth of joint required shall be determined
to provide the specified recess depth, depth of sealant, and thickness of
backer-rod for the joint. (The thickness of the backer-rod will be greater
after squeezing it into the joint. Allow for this in determining depth of joint
required.) If necessary; the Contractor shall saw the existing joint deeper
and wider to provide the required depth and width of joint specified on the
plans.

F. Installing Backer-Rod in Joint: Prior to placing the backer-rod, the joint
must be thoroughly dry and clean. Any necessary cleaning, air blasting or
air-drying shall be completed before placing backer-rod (and sealant). On
joints where backer-rod is to be installed, a round backer-rod of resilient
material, compatible with the joint sealant, and slightly oversized to
prevent movement during the sealing will be installed in the joint at the
depth specified on the appropriate joint detail in the plans. (The thickness
of the backer-rod will be greater after squeezing it into the joint and some
"rebound" may occur. Allowance must be made for this to insure placing
at correct depth.) On joints wider than one inch, a back-up material cut
from an approved resilient material, compatible with the joint sealant, may
- be used to fit properly into the joint.

D. Cleaning the Joint: The joint shall be thoroughly cleaned of all foreign
material (oil, asphalt, curing compound, sealant adhesive, paint, rust, etc.),
including existing sealant if still present. The Contractor shall demonstrate
to the Engineer that the proposed method of cleaning old sealants or
foreign material from joints shall not widen the joints by more than 0.04
inches. In addition, the method shall not alter the joint profile including
rounding on the top comer, or alter the texture of the concrete riding
surface. Cleaning of the joint using chemical agent shall not be allowed.
The cleaning process shall produce a new, clean concrete face on the
vertical faces of the joint.
E. Routing Random Cracks: Cracks having an average width opening less
than % inch shall be cut to allow for the specified recess depth and depth
of sealant shown in details. Cracks where spalling has taken place shall
have all broken chunks of concrete removed before routing and then
routed in the valley of the spalled portion along the main crack.
G. Installing Joint Sealant: Joints shall be sealed as soon after completion of
joint preparation and installation of backer-rod as reasonably possible to
insure that joint is still clean and dry. Prior to sealing, joints shall be
inspected for proper width, depth, alignment, and preparation, and shall be
approved by the Engineer.

field installation equipment and heated in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations. The sealant shall not be heated to
more than 200F below the safe heating temperature. The safe heating
temperature can be obtained from the manufacturer's shipping
container. The sealant shall be applied uniformly at the manufacturer's
recommended application temperature from bottom of joint or crack
without formation of entrapped air or voids. Sufficient amounts of
sealant shall be placed into the joints so that upon completion of the
work, the sealant shall be at the specified depth. The Contractor shall
"spot up" or refill all unsatisfactory joints or cracks. Any excess sealant
on the surface of the pavement shall be .removed leaving the surface in
a clean condition.
If the sealant material indicates any tendency to pick up under traffic,
the sealed joints and cracks shall be sanded. After the sealant
material has cured, all sand shall be removed so that the surface is
clean.

2. Low Modulus Silicone Sealant: The silicone sealant shall be pumped
directly into the joint by use of an air-powered pump. The pump shall
be of sufficient capacity to deliver the necessary volume of material to
completely fill the joint to the specified width and height of sealant in
one pass. The nozzle shall be of sufficient size and shape to closely fit
into the joint with sufficient pressure to prevent voids occurring in the
sealant and to force the sealant into contact with the joint faces.
Immediately after placement and before a skin forms, the sealant shall
be tooled to provide the specified recess depth, thickness and snape of
sealant as shown on the plans. Sufficient force or pressure shall be
applied to the sealant in this tooling operation to force the sealant
against the joint faces to insure satisfactory wetting and bonding of the
sealant to the joint faces. (The silicone sealant is not self-leveling and
will not position itself correctly in the joint under its own weight.) The
sealant shall be placed in reasonably close conformity with the
dimensions and shape shown on the plans. Any unreasonable
deviation will be cause for rejection and necessary corrective action
will be taken by the Contractor.

Cleaning Pavement: After a joint has been sealed, all surplus sealant or
other residue on the pavement surfaces shall be promptly removed.
408.05 FIELD TEST: Prior to full production, the Contractor shall
demonstrate that the equipment and procedures for preparing, mixing, and
placing the sealant will produce a satisfactorily sealed joint. The area for the field
test shall be designated by the Engineer and shall be not less than 200 lineal
feet. The equipment, method of operation, and material used on the field test
shall be used on the remainder of the work.
