702.01Asphalt Cement Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder (PGAB ) that has not

been modified with polymer shall conform to the requirements of AASHTO M 320. Polymer modified binder shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 332 and AASHTO R 92. Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder shall not contain re-refined engine oil bottoms (REOB). The Contractor shall arrange for the Supplier to furnish the following items to the Department’s Asphalt Pavement Engineer:

a.A Quality Control Plan that conforms to the requirements of AASHTO R 26

“Certifying Suppliers of Performance-Graded Asphalt Binders” and

b.A CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS for all asphalt materials furnished for use on the

project. The Certificate shall include the actual test results of the material in storage from which the shipments are being made. Certificates shall be supplied for each lot, batch, or blend of each type and grade of material. A new certificate shall be issued at least every 30 days or upon receiving or manufacture of a new material. The original of each Certificate of Analysis shall be mailed to the Departments Asphalt Pavement Engineer. The Contractor shall give the supplier sufficient notice of orders to permit testing and certification. Material not certified will not be accepted for use. Deliveries of asphalt materials shall be accompanied by a Bill of Lading containing the information required under Section l08.1.3 f. The Bill of Lading shall include the applicable certificate number and shall include a printed or stamped statement such as the following: “THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE ASPHALT MATERIAL REPRESENTED BY THIS LOADING INVOICE CONFORMS TO THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE PURCHASER FOR THE MATERIAL TYPE AND GRADE STATED THEREON.” In the event an intermediate hauler of the asphalt material is involved, a copy of their own delivery slip shall be furnished, as well as a copy of the supplier's loading invoice. The hauler's delivery slip and the supplier's loading invoice shall be cross-referenced by use of their respective serial numbers. All non-bituminous components added to the binder prior to the sampling point for binder certification shall be included on the asphalt binder Certificate of Analysis identifying their presence. All non-bituminous components added after the certification sampling point and prior to transport shall be included on the Bill of Lading.
