106.01 Source of Supply and Quality Requirements.
Materials used in the work shall meet all quality requirements of the contract. To expedite inspection and testing of materials, the contractor shall notify the engineer of his proposed sources of materials at least three weeks prior to delivery. With w ritten authorization, materials may be approved at the source of supply before delivery is started. If it is found after installation that sources of supply for previously approved materials do not produce specified products or results, the contractor shal l furnish materials from other sources or make necessary changes to provide acceptable materials at no cost to the department.
106.02 Local Material Sources.
106.02.1 Designated Sources: Possible sources of local materials
may be designated o n the plans or in the specifi cations. The quality of material in such deposits will be acceptable in general, but the contractor shall determine the amount of equipment and work required to produce a material meeting specifications. It shall be understood that it is not feasible to ascertain from samples the limits for an entire deposit and that variations are to be expected. The engineer may order procurement of material from any portion of a deposit and may reject portions of the deposit as unacceptable. The Department may acquire and make available to the contractor the right to take materials from the sources designated o n the plans or in the specifications, with the right to use such property as specified for plant site, stockpiles or haul roads. When the contractor desires to u se material from sources other than those designated, the contractor shall acquire the necessary rights or permits to take materials from the sources and shall pay all costs related thereto, including any which may result from increased haul length. All c osts of exploring and developing such sources shall be borne by the contractor. Use of material from other than designated sources will not be permitted until representative samples taken by the engineer have been approved and written authority is issued for the use thereof.
