.01 Acceptance Procedures for Non-Specification Curing Compounds. The

Department may test project samples. When non-specification curing compounds are inadvertently incorporated into the work the Department will accept the material with a reduction in pay. The Department will apply the largest payment reduction when the material fails to meet more than one specification requirement. The Department will calculate the payment reduction on the invoice cost of the material delivered at the project site.
