414.14 Warranty
A warranty bond is to insure completion of required warranty work, including payments for all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary or convenient to the successful completion of the project and the carrying out of the duties and obligations imposed by the contract used to remediate any warranted distresses. The Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer a warranty bond at the pre- construction conference or prior to beginning any work on the contract. The warranty bond shall be equal to 100% of the contract total for the warranted UBWC pay items, 200 and shall be properly executed by a surety satisfactory to the Department, and shall be payable to the State of Indiana. The warranty bond shall be in effect for three years from the date of substantial completion. Upon the final acceptance of the project , the contractual obligations of the Contractor are satisfied as long as the UBWC continues to meet or exceed the warranted values as defined herein. All warranty work shall be accomplished in accordance with 414.16. At the end of the warranty period, the Contractor will be released from further warranty work or 210 responsibility, provided all previous warranty work has been satisfactorily completed and approved by the Department. 414.15 Conflict Resolution Team The scope of work for the conflict resolution team includes all issues concerning the warranted pavement relative to the quality control plan, material selection, warranted pavement evaluations, distress i ndicators, remedial action, and remediation plans. The team will consist of two Contractor representatives, two Department 220 representatives, and an additional person mutually agreed upon by both the Department and the Contractor. All costs for the additional person will be equally shared by the Department and the Contractor. The team members will be identified in writing when needed and will be knowledgeable in the terms and conditions of this warranty and the methods used in the measurement and calculation of pavement distress. The team will render a final recommendation to the Chief Engineer by a majority vote. Each member has an equal vote. 414.13 381 230
414.16 Warranty Work
Elective work is performed by the Contractor at its discretion to meet the performance requirements of warranted UBWC prior to direction from the Department for the Contractor to perform remedial work. Remedial work is performed as a result of pavement distress surveys performed by the Department. During the warranty period, elective work and remedial work shall be performed at no cost to the Department. Elective work shall be at the Contractor’s option. The 240 scope of all elective work or re medial work to be performed as well as materials to be used shall be proposed by the Contractor and shall be subject to approval by the Department. Prior to proceeding with any wa rranty work or moni toring, all necessary permits shall be obtained from the Department. Elective work during the warranty period will not be assessed a lane closure fee. For remedial work, costs for closure periods will be as shown in the contract. During the warranty period, the Contractor may monitor the warranted UBWC using non-destructive procedures. 250 Coring, milling, or other destructive procedures may not be performed by the Contractor without prior consent of the Department. The Contractor will not be responsible for damages to the pavement as a result of coring, milling, or other destructive procedures conducted by the Department. The Contractor has the first option to perform the remedial work. If the problem requires immediate attention, as determined by the Engineer, for safety of the traveling public and the Contractor cannot perform the remedial work within 24 h of notification, the Department will perform the remedial work. The Contractor shall be 260 responsible for all costs incurred by the Department for remedial work performed by the Department. Remedial work performed by the Department will not alter the requirements, responsib ilities, or obligations of the warranty.
414.17 Pavement Distress Indicators , Thresholds, and Remedial Action
The Department will use the following pavement distress indicators throughout the warranty period:
a.Delamination - physical separation of the UBWC that exposes the underlying surface. 270
b.Rutting - transverse displacement of the UBWC.
c.Raveling - wearing away of the UBWC.
d.Skid Resistance - friction number as measured by ASTM E274 and ASTM E524. 414.17 382 The pavement threshold values for the pavement distress indicators will be evaluated for the entire length of the project for each lane. The threshold values for the pavement distress indicators are listed below: Distress Single Location Multiple Locations Delamination/Raveling 1/2 sq yd 1 sq yd/mi Rut Depth 1/4 in. average 1/4 in./mi Friction Number* no less than 30 average 35 * Individual friction tests will be performed in each lane every 1/2 mi for the length of the project. The Department may evaluate the warran ted UBWC during the warranty period. A final condition survey will be made by the Department and the Contractor will be notified in writing of all sections exceeding the warranty threshold at least 90 days in advance of the expiration of the warranty period. If the Department determines that any threshold level has been met or exceeded and remedial work is required, the Contractor shall submit a work plan and schedule to the Engineer for approval. The Contractor shall perform the remedial work within 30 calendar days of notification of approval by the Engineer. 290 If, anytime during the warranty period, 30% or more of the project requires, or has received remedial work, re medial work as determined by the Department shall be performed on the entire project. If remedial or elective work performed by the Contractor necessitates repair or replacement of pavement markings, adjacent lanes or roadway shoulders, the required work shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Warranty requirements for all elective and remedial work will be limited to the 300 life of the original contract warranty.
414.18 Department Maintenance The Department may perform routine maintenance operations during the warranty
period including, but not limited to, plowing, applying de-icing chemicals, repairs to safety appurtenances, pavement markin gs, mowing, and sign maintenance. The Department will perform no routine pavement surface maintenance activities during the warranty period. 310
