NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Sections 200 - 599 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 Volume 2 evaluated into 4 sublots in accordance with the requirements of §40 4-3.08, Pavement Density Samples. The material will be left in -place when either of the following sets of conditions is met.
A.The calculated plant air voids used for payment are greater than 5.5% and less than or equal to 7.0%, the asphalt content, based on automation, is within 0.2% of the production target, the Contractor achieved field density of 93% minimum and there are no defects such as, but not limited to, cracking, raveling, rutting, shoving, or bleeding.
B.The calculated plant air voids used for payment are greater than or equal to 1% and less than 1.5%, the validated QC and QA plant air void test results, according to MP 401, average 1.5% to 5.5%, the asphalt content, based on automation, is within 0.2% of the production target, the contractor achieved field density of 93% minimum, and there are no defects such as, but not limited to, cracking, raveling, rutting, shoving, or bleeding.
C.If the material does not meet the above conditions or it is unknown, such as for mixes accepted based on gradation or if QA testing was not required, the Engineer will determine if the material in question may remain in -place considering, but not limited t o, the following:
1.Type of material produced
2.The layer in which the material was placed
3.The location and traffic volume
4.Laboratory test results
5.Field test results, such as density If the subject material is left in -place, it will be assigned a QAF of 0.85. If determined the subject material will not be left in -place, the Contractor shall remove and replace the material at no additional cost to the State.
401-4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. The quantity will be the number of tons delivered as
determined from the automated proportioning system, the delivery vehicle weigh system, or the asphalt mixture holding bin weigh system. The measurement or calculation will be the quantity based on the measured amount and reported to the nearest 0.01 of a ton. SECTION 402 - VACANT SECTION 403 - VACANT SECTION 404 - ASPHALT PAVEMENTS
404-1 DESCRIPTION. These specifications apply to all plant mixed asphalt produced at a production
facility under Section 401 Plant Production This work will consist of providing, placing, and performing density monitoring of one or more courses of asphalt pavement constructed on the prepared foundation in accordance with the contract documents or as directed by the Engineer.
