A change in subgrade materials will require testing at the original frequency until a new rolling pattern is established. Make reasonable efforts to conform to the compaction requirements above. When field conditions make this impractical or detrimental, such as a yielding subgrade, establish an optimum rolling pattern to the satisfaction of the engineer. The engineer has the option of increasing or decreasing the percentages of cement based on field conditions. Determine optimum moisture of the mixture in accordance with DOTD TR 415 or TR 418. Increase the cement content by one percent by volume for every 3 percent of moisture content above optimum.

The District Laboratory may determine the percent of cement by volume in accordance with DOTD TR 432, Method B or C from materials sampled in -place on the project from isolated random areas selected by the engineer. Depending on the materials to be treated, normal testing time to determine the required cement content may require up to 21 calendar days.

subgrade for payment will be the design areas as specified in the plans and adjustments thereto. Design quantities are based on the horizontal dimensions of the completed in -place cement treated subgrade shown on the plans. Design quantities will be adju sted if the engineer makes changes to adjust to field conditions, plan errors are proven, or design changes are necessary. DOTD TR 602 measurements for width and thickness will not be made, but the width and thickness will be checked by the engineer during construction.

309.06 PAYMENT. Payment for in -place cement treated subgrade will

be made at the contract unit price per square yard, which includes cement, cement treatment, and water. If the actual required percent of cement differs from that required by the contract documents, payment will be increased or decreased based on the difference in required quantity of cement at the price of cement shown on paid invoices (total of all charges). The contractor shall provide copies of paid invoices for this determin ation. If the contract documents do not specify a percent cement, 6 percent will be used for treated subgrades for bid purposes.
