as liquidated damages for such breach of contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and
every calendar day that the contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the

fixed for the additional time is allowed for the completion of a work, the new time limit
fixed by extension shall be the essence of this contract.

the Contractor shall submit to the Owner's Engineer, an estimate covering the percentage
of the total amount of the contract which has been completed from the start of the job up
to and including the last working day of the proceeding month, together with such
supporting evidence as may be required by the Owner and/or the Engineer. This
estimate shall include only the quantities in place and at the unit prices as set forth in the
Bid Schedule.
On the vendor run, following approval of the
invoice for payment, the owner shall after deducting previous payments made, pay to the
Contractor 90% of the amount of the estimate on units accepted in place. The 10%

experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI-
N EER's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro.
gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI-
N EER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of
the Work is in accordance with [he Contract Documents

.subsequent tests called for in the Comract Documents. to a
final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit

205.01 GENERAL: Roadway Excayation shall consist of the exca~ation, hauling and satisfactory
placement or disposal of all materials. not otherwise to be removed under another Contract Item,
from within the limits of all areas designated in the Contract.
This Work shall also include all ditch excavation with the exception of Channel Excavation.
All suitable materials excavated from ditches shall be utilizecf in the construction of roadway
embankments except where otherWise directed by the Engineer.
Material excavated from ditches which is unsuitable for roadway construction shall not be
deposited or allowed to remain within three feet of the edge of the ditch. Such material shall not
be left in unsightly piles. but shall be'spread in uniform layers neatly leveled and shaped. Adequate
openings shall be provided in spoil.qanks to allow surface drainage of adjacent land. When shown
on the Plans or required by the Engineer, surface ditches of adequate dimensions shall be cut at the
tops of cut slopes, extending to each end of the cuts in order to cany the water from the side hill.
Side ditches or gutters emptying from cuts to embankments shall be tumed outward so as to avoid
erosion of the embankments. Wherever possible, water from surface ditches shall be.discharged at .
terraces or in tail ditches cut along contour lines. Suitable outlets or flumes for roadway ditches shall
be provided where necessary in accordance with details on the Plans. Surface ditches. outlets and
other such ditches will be paid for as Unclassified Excavation.
This'Work shall also include the filling and/or plugging of all abandoned wells (both dug and drilled)
located within the Right Of Way and: Construction Easements in accordance with Georgia Standard
9031H.
This Work shall also include the removal of paving. aggregates, and ballast, not to be incorporated
into the new Work as a result of alignment shifts. grade changes. or other reasons whether shown
. on the Plans or not. Salvaging of the removed railroad ballast. aggregate and paving will be
required only if so designated on the Plans. All salvaged materials shall become the property of the
Department unless the Engineer directs that portions of, or all, such materials be wasted. Any
ma~rials not to be salvaged shall be disposed of by the Contractor. All salvaged materials shall be
stockpiled on the Project unless other sites for stOCkpiling are shown on the Plans.
When excavation operations encounter artifacts of historical or archaeological significance, such
operations shall be temporarily discontinued and not resumed until directed by the Engineer. See
Sub-Section 107. 13.A.

All material to be excavated, regardless of its nature or composition, shall be defined as Unclassified
Excavation unless otherwise specified in the Plans. All suitable material removed in the excavation
shall be used as far as practicable in ,formation of embankments, subgrades and shoulders and at
such other places as may be indicated on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. The Engineer will
designate materials which are unsuitable. The Contractor shall fumish disposal areas for the
unsuitable and surplus materials exc~pt where the Engineer permits the use of such on fill slopes, in
abandoned ditches or elsewhere, or unless specific disposal areas are shown on the Plans.
The intersection of cut slopes with natural ground surfaces, including the beginning and ending of
cut slopes, shall be uniformly rounded as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. All cut
slopes shall be brought to, the grade and cross section shown on the Plans or established by the
Engineer and finished to reasonably uniform surfaces acceptable for seeding and mulching
operations.
When the Plans include a prOVISion for Serrated Slopes, the backslope shall be graded in
accordance with the Construction Detail. The template line or the final staked cross section slope
line will be the pay line. There will be no additional measurement or payment for constructing
Serrated Slopes.
The first serration (step) is to be started-as designated on the Construction Detail, and should be level
instead of paralleling the roadway grade. The tilt control blade dozier shall cut steps in altemate
directions as alternating steps are constructed. . .
When the Plans do not provide for -serrated slopes, the front and back slopes shall be left in a
roughened condition to provide a seed bed for temporary or permanent grassing operations.
All slides and overbreaks which occurprior to final acceptance of the Project due to natural causes
shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor as directed by the Engineer. Where slides or
overbreaks occur due to negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor shall remove
and dispose of the material at no ad,ditional cost to the Department. .
A percentage of the estimated quantity of earthwork, not to exceed 5% at the discretion of the
Engineer, is to be withheld from progress payments until final dressing, subgrade construction and
the satisfactory disposal of unsuitable or surplus materials is completed.
This percentage withheld shall be in addition to that specified in Sub-Section 109.07.

When hydrated lime is to be included in the mixture, calibration of the lime system shall be
checked for accuracy a minimuin 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, Aggreg~tes, Hydrated Lime, etc.) invoices shall be ,made available upon
request. .
5. CO:MPARATIVE 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 taken by the
Department from material produced during the same Lot are defmed as Quality Assurance
samples. This Program'is further defined as follows:
. ,
a. Comparison Sampling and Testing: During the quartering process of Hot Mix samples, the
opposite quarters from :the test specimen shall be labeled by the QCT and retained for
Department comparison testing. In addition, the remaining material removed from the total
sample shall be labeled ~d 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 from the same load as QCT samples were taken or other
loads at the plant or roadway, or samples obtained immediately behind the spreader an9
prior to compaction. The samples will be tested and analyzed by. th~ 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 defmed above, when compared to the Job Mix
Formula, shall be the Sanle 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 m~y continue but the Department will investigate by taking random
samples from throughoufthe 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 not be
included in the calculations for Lot Acceptance.
If it is determined by the Department that the QCT has not followed procedures specified in
GSP-21 or has provided erroneous information, his or her certification may be withdrawn,
and the Contractor may ~e 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 unaccepta;ble tests will be evaluated by cores in accordance with Subsection
400.07.F. These core samples shall be used for acceptance.

6. 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 individual deviations from the Job
Mix Formula, disregarding whether the deviations are positive or negative amounts. The
samples shall be taken randomly in accordance with GDT-73. In the event that the designated
random load is not sampled, or less than the specified number of samples are taken, the
Contractor shall take at least two representative six inch cores from the roadway (to assure
adequate sample size). These cores shall be taken from the area where the appropriate random
load was placed, or for each portion of mix that was not sampled, and acceptance will be based
on the mean of the deviations from the Job Mix Formula ?fthe total number of tests run.
For asphalt cement content only, on ,plants with digital recorders, digital printouts of liquid
asphalt cement weights may be substituted in lieu of an extraction test. The asphalt. cement
content shall be calculated from the ti.cket representing the mixture tested for gradation. The
asphalt cement content calculated from each ticket will be considered a test.
The control sieves used in Quality Acceptance for the various types of mix are as indicated

828,02 SUPERPAVE ASPHALTIC CONCRETE MIXTURES
A. Gradation Requirements:
Superpave utilizes th~ FHW A 0.45 Power gradation chart to defIne permissible gradations. This
chait .uses a unique graphing technique to judge the c:umulative 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 arithmetic scale of sieve size opening in microns raised to
the 0.45 power. .
Superpave defines nominal maximum sieve size and maximum sieve size as follows:
Nominal Maximum Sieve Size: One stand~d 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.

228.01 DESCRIPTION: This item consists of excavation of all materials of whatever nature including
borrow if required, to alignment, grade and typical cross-sections shown on the plans; or as directed by
the Engineer, all necessary hauling, formation of embankments, shoulder construction, subgrade
construction, ditch excavation, finishing and dressing, replacement of unsuitable material removed from
the subgrade, and disposal of any unsuitable or surplus material. It shall include the removal and
disposal of miscellaneous roadway items includi~g, but .not limited to, curbs, drainage structures and
pavements, unless established as separate contract items. It shall also include all necessary clearing
and grubbing in accordance with Sections 201 and 202, required to complete the work unless these items
have been established as pay items in the contract.
:jf
,
228.02 MATERIALS: All suitable material excavated, including that taken from trenches, roadway
ditches and slopes, shall be used in forming embankments as far as practicable. Surplus or unsuitable
materials shall be used in flattening slopes of embankments, backfilling washes or ditches, or wasted
back of the construction lines as directed. I

B. General Hequirements:
1. Cross Section: As a minimum requirement the roadway shall be graded in
accordance with the specified :typical sections.
2. Slopes, Ditches, Shoulders: The excavation shall be done so that front slopes,
ditches and shoulders are neatly trimmed to the lines given. Additional shoulder
width will be permitted when ;extra width shoulders are ready in place and fit the
existing roadbed provided the finished shoulders present a reasonably uniform
appearance.

shoulder have be.en substantially completed the roadway shall be properly shaped,
finished and dressed l in reasonably close conformity to the lines and grades given.
C. Compaction: All embankments shall be built up in 8-inch layers and the full width of the
cross section compacted in accordance with Section 208.
228.04 MEASUREMENT: Grading (Modified) Including Haul will be measured in Linear Miles along
the centerline of the road or the median, including ramps when so shown on the plans. Surplus material
may be disposed of beyond the end of the project, but the mileage measured for payment will not extend
beyond the established termini. .
228.04 PAYMENT: The item of Grading (Modified) Including Haul will be paid for at the Contract Unit
Price per Linear Mile complete in place, which price shall be full compensation for clearing and grubbing
inside the construction limits where this item is not shown as a separate item in the Contract, for all
excavation to the typical section required or as modified herein, formation of embankments, construction
of shoulders, backing out subgrades for pavement, flushing fill slopes and ramps, filling washes, wasting
surplus or unsuitable material, finishing and dressing, cleaning of side ditches, all hauling of excavation,
and any incidentals necessary to complete the Item. It is clearly understood that in no case will any
separate payment be made for finishing and dressing, and that the cost of necessary finishing and
dressing to comply with these Specifications shall be included in the Contract Unit Price of Grading
