306DENSITY REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPACTION

178

The Contractor shall immediately replace a malfunctioning nuclear testing device without extra compensation when the work is delayed because of the malfunction. The compensation for the device will be reduced by a percentage amount calculated from the number of days that the device was not suitable for use and the total number of days in the contract.

The final ownership of the nuclear testing device will be based on the requirements given for the Pay Item for the device. When the Engineer determines that the device is no longer needed it shall be transferred to the Department, or the Contractor will be notified by certified letter to pick up the device. The Contractor shall retain ownership of a device if the device is furnished under Pay Item 306-A, "Portable Nuclear Moisture-Density Testing Device". The Contractor shall retain ownership of a device for the duration of the need of the device if it is furnished under Pay Item 306-B, "State Retained Portable Nuclear Moisture-Density Testing Device". This device shall be a new Nuclear Moisture-Density Testing Device. When the device is no longer needed the Contractor shall be responsible for the reconditioning, verification, and, if necessary, recalibration of the device and the transfer of device and title of ownership to the Department. The Contractor shall retain ownership of a device for the duration of the need of the device if it is furnished under Pay Item 306-E, "State Retained Portable Nuclear Moisture-Density Testing Device (Includes Disposal of Existing Device)". This device furnished by the Contractor shall be a new Nuclear Moisture-Density Testing Device. When the device is no longer needed, the Contractor shall be responsible for the reconditioning, verification, and, if necessary, recalibration of the device and the transfer of device and title of ownership to the Department. A Department owned device will be designated for disposal. The Contractor shall take ownership of the device designated for disposal and shall pick up the device at the ALDOT Central Laboratory. The Department will pack the device and have it ready for transport. The title of ownership will be transferred to the Contractor. Transfer of the device will be in accordance with Health Department regulations and under no circumstances will a nuclear device be transferred to an unlicensed agent or company. If the Contractor is required to take possession of a device that is not designated for disposal, 30 calendar days will be allowed from the date of the notification for the Contractor to present a valid license for owning radioactive material from the Alabama State Department of Public Health and then obtain possession of the device. The device shall become ALDOT property and the title of ownership shall be transferred to the ALDOT if the Contractor fails to present the proper license and obtain possession of the device within the 30 calendar days.

306.04Method of Measurement

Nuclear Testing Devices will be measured per each device.

306.05Basis of Payment

Separate payment will not be made for the work of compaction to meet the density requirements given in this Section. This work shall be incidental to the requirements of the placement of the material for which density requirements are given.

The contract price for a device shall be full compensation for the furnishing of the device with all required accessories and services. This contract price shall be for exclusive use of the device for the duration of the contract or until Engineer determines that there will be no further need for the device.

The contract price for a device shall be full compensation for the furnishing of the device with all required accessories and services and for the exclusive use of the device by the Department. The contract price shall also be full compensation for the maintenance of the device, the reconditioning, verification, and, if necessary, recalibration and transfer of the device and title of ownership to the Department.

315.01Description

This Section shall cover the work of constructing a drainage plane layer composed of an approved free-draining material. This layer normally is used to facilitate drainage from the pavement structure layer through the shoulders; however, it may be used at other locations when shown on the plans or directed.

315.02Materials

Materials for use shall meet the appropriate requirements of Division 800, Materials, with specific reference to Section 822.

315.03Construction Requirements

The drainage layer shall be constructed in reasonably close conformity to the cross sections and dimensions shown on the plans and in the sequence noted in Subarticle 301.04(c). The thickness shown on the plans will be loose measurement before covering with another layer. The drainage plane materials shall be spread by approved equipment capable of providing a single layer of uniform thickness, uncompacted, and continuous from the inner base layer edge through the shoulder line. The equipment must be capable of spreading this layer without damaging or disturbing the underlying and contiguous layers. Multiple passes may be permitted on wide shoulders. There will be no density requirement for this layer. Care shall be taken to ensure firm contact between drainage layer and the contiguous base layers. Any disturbance to or loss of drainage plane material while uncovered shall be corrected prior to placing the overlying layer.

315.04Method of Measurement

Measurement of Drainage Plane Material will be in accordance with Article 301.07.

315.05Basis of Payment

Drainage Plane Material, measured as noted above, will be paid for at the contract unit price bid for the item of work involved in accordance with Article 301.08.
