each Application for Payment. either indicate in writing a
recommendation of payment and present the Application to
OWNER. or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indi-

make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Applica-
tion. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Pay-
ment with ENGINEER's recommendation. the amount rec-
ommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence
of paragraph 14,7) become due and when due will be paid by
OWNER to CONTRACTOR,
14.5, ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment
re"uested in an Application for Payment will constitute a
26
I
I
representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI-
NEER's on-site observations of the Work in progress as an
experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI-
NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the
accompanying data and schedLiles that the Work has pro-
gressed to the point indicated: that. to the best of ENGI-
NEER's knowledge. information and belief. the quality of
the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents
(subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole
prior to or upon Substantial Completion. to the results of any
subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents. to a
final determination of quantities and classifications for' Unit
Price Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifi-
cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC-
TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended,

will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus-
tive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to
check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the
responsibilities specil1cally assigned to ENGINEER in the
Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters
or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC-
TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to
withhold payment to CONTRACTOR,

TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph
14,13 have been fulfilled,
I
I
14,7, ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole
or any part of any payment if. in ENGINEER's opinion. it
would be incorrect to make such representations to OWN ER,
ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay-
ment. or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or
the results of subsequent inspections or tests. nullify any such
paymenr preVIOusly recommended. to such extent as may be

tM following:
Mixture which is ~ted, non~nforming to temperature, conbi"';"'g a deficiency or euess of
asphalt cement or otherwise unsuitable for placement on the roadway, shall not be used in the Work.
A:riy mixture which after placement on the roadway is determined by the Engineer to have
unacceptable level$ of blemishes caused by segregation, stre8kmg or pulling and tearing or havin; any
other Unacceptable characteristics, shall be removed and replaced with acceptable mixture at the
Contractor's expe"nse. The Contractor shall take whatever measures necessaIy to prevent continual
pla.cemen~ of mixture which has these deficiencies.
400.07.G. SEGREGATED MIXTURE: Retain Sub-&ction 400.07 ACCEPTANCE PLANS ~ written and
add the following:
For this Specification, segregation is defined as areas ofnen.uniform distn'bution of eoa.r&e and
fine aggregate particles in an asphalt pavement. The Contractor shall follow whatever production.
storage, loading, placing and handling Pro:cedures, make any needed plant modifications and/or .
provide whatever auxiliaIy equipment necessaxY.to prevent. placement of mixture which yields a
segregated mat. When segregation of the mixture is evident in the finished mat, specific actions will
be taken by the Department dependent on the degree of segregation which is apparent. The degree of
segregation and the subsequent actions which the Department will follow are as described below.
1. Unquestionably Unacceptable Segregation: . When the Engineer recogni%es the degree of
segregation in the finished mat as beiDg unquestionably unacceptable the following measures will be
placed intO effect: .
. a. Work shall be automatically suspended until positive corrective action is taken by the
Contractor. Also, the Department will evaluate the segregated areas to determine the extent of any
needed corrective work to the in-place mat.
b. The investigation by the Department will include but not necessarily be limited to the
taking of six.inch cores from typical visually unacceptable segregated a.reas for extraction and
iI'adation analysis. Determii:lation of the extent of any needed corrective work to the in-place mat will
be in accordance with 400.07.0.8. below.
Co Work will be allowed to continue only after the Contractor submits a written plan of
measures- and/or actions which will be taken to prevent further segregation and the plan is approved
by the Department.
. d. When work resumes, the Contractor will be allowed to place a test section not to exceed
500 tons ofthe affected mixture, for evaluation by "the Department. However, if after a few loads it ia
apparent that the corrective actions taken were not adequate, the measures de~ beginning with
Step 1.a. above will be followed. LikewiSe, if after 500 tons it is apparent that the problem has been
solved, work will be allowed to contiIiue.

2. Unacceptable Segregation Suspected: . When the Engineer observes segregation in the
fuUshed mat and suspects that it may be unacceptable the followini measures will be placed into
effect.
a. The Contractor may elect to continue work at his own risk; however, an immediate
in~tion will be. initiated by the Department to determine the severity of the apparent
~tion. Also.. the Contractor shall immediately and continually adjust his operation until the
visually apparent aeeregated a:rea.s are ,.,;"";~"ted from the fi~;A},ed mat.
b. The investigation by the Department will include but not necessarily be limited to the
.taking of six.inch cores from typical areas of suspect aeerePtion and testing for compliance with the
Mixture Control Tolerances in Section 828.
Co When these tolerances are exceeded, work will be suspended for ~uective action sa
outlined in 400.07Gl. above.
S. Corrective Work: A1:ly segregated area found to vary 10% or more on the Control Sieves from
. the approved Job Mix Formula will be subject to removal and replacement at the Contractor'a
expense: The control sieves for each mix type are as shown in Sub-Secti011.400.07.A. For subsurface
mixtures, the removal and replacement may be limited to the actual segregated areas or at the full
.lane width within.the limits ofindividual segregated areas, at the Contractor's discretion and as
approved by the Engineer. For surface mixes, the removal and replacement .shall not be less than the
full width of the affected lane and ten feet in length. All surface tolerance requirements will apply to
the corrected areas for both subsurface and surface mixes.
