1019.2.5 Sack or Bag. A sack or bag of cement equals 94 pounds net.
1019.3 Sampling, Testing and Acceptance Procedures. All manufacturers and terminals furnishing cement to
MoDOT projects shall be qualified as herein described. All cement will be subject to inspection and sampling by MoDOT at the source of manufacture, an intermediate shipping terminal or destination. MoDOT shall be allowed unlimited access to all facilities and records as required to conduct inspection and sampling.
1019.3.1 Manufacturer Qualification. In order to become qualified, a written request shall be sent by the
manufacturer to Construction and Materials, along with a copy of the QC plan. In order to maintain qualification, the manufacturer shall submit additional information, as listed, to MoDOT. The plant may be inspected to verify the information and to establish personal contact with the QC personnel.
1019.3.1 1 The following information shall be included in the request for qualification:
a.An outline of the QC program from the quarry to the point where the product is relinquished to the purchaser. The QC program shall cover all tests required by the specification and shall include the testing frequency for each test.
b.A copy of the most recent Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) inspection report and the latest CCRL proficiency sample report. The CCRL inspection shall cover all tests required by the specification. Documentation showing satisfactory resolution of all inspection deficiencies shall be included.
c.The physical layout of the plant, including the number and capacity of finish mills and silos and the type of cement stored in each silo.
d.A copy of a typical bill of lading with the required certification statement.
e.A split sample of each type of cement proposed for use. Manufacturer test results for the split sample shall also be submitted.
1019.3.1 2 In order to maintain qualification, the following will be required:
a.Monthly QC test results covering the production of cement types proposed for use in MoDOT projects, including the high, low and average results for each type shall be forwarded to MoDOT upon manufacturer completion.
b.A copy of the most recent CCRL inspection and proficiency sample reports and any deficiency resolutions shall be forwarded promptly to MoDOT.
c.Semi-annual split samples for each type of approved cement will be obtained by MoDOT for joint testing by the manufacturer. Manufacturer test results on the split samples shall be furnished to MoDOT when completed.
d.All QC test results shall be available for a minimum of three years, for MoDOT review upon request.
e.Only cement in compliance with these specifications shall be allowed into a silo destined for MoDOT projects.
1019.3.2 Terminal Qualification. In order to become a qualified terminal, a written request shall be sent from
terminal personnel to Construction and Materials. The request shall be accompanied by a letter from each affected and qualified manufacturer, advising of the intent to ship through the respective terminal. Any changes in cement source shall be updated in the same manner. Terminals will be inspected to ensure adequacy to accept, retain and ship cement from qualified manufacturers.
1019.3.3 Failure to Comply. Failure to fulfill any of these requirements may result in disqualification of the
cement manufacturer or a terminal. In cases of dispute, test results obtained by MoDOT will control.
1019.3.4 Disqualified Manufacturers. If a manufacturer has been disqualified, the manufacturer will be
required to designate the silo, bin or storage facility from which they propose to furnish cement for MoDOT projects. Each silo, bin or storage facility designated shall be sampled, tested, sealed and approved by MoDOT prior to shipment. The manufacturer shall also sample, test and report the test results for each designated silo, bin or storage facility. This procedure shall continue until adequate QC has been established.
1019.3.5 Foreign Cement. All tests on foreign cement shall be performed by a qualified domestic manufacturer.
1019.4 Acceptance. The supplier shall certify that the material complies with the specification requirements.
When a qualified manufacturer or terminal is shipping cement for, or purchasing cement from, another qualified manufacturer, the bill of lading or delivery receipt shall be from the shipping company. The certification statement showing the actual manufacturer shall be prominently placed on the bill of lading or delivery receipt. A copy of the bill of lading or delivery receipt shall accompany each shipment and shall be furnished to MoDOT at the shipping and destination points.
