653-1 DESCRIPTION. Collect and report pavement ride quality data from PCC (Portland Cement
Concrete) and/or Asphalt Pavements .
653-2 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. Use a Department certified inertial profiler and operator
certified in accordance with Materials Method 653. Provide a copy of the certification letter to the Engineer before data collection.
653-3 Construction Details.
653-3.01 Pavement Ride Quality (PRQ) Data Collection. PRQ data consists of the longitudinal profile
of the pavement. Perform PRQ data collection when the pavement can be opened to construction traffic and/or after corrective actions, such as diamond grinding, have been completed. Perform three PRQ tests per lane in accordance with Materials Method 653.
653-3 02
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 VOLUME 3 Notify the Engineer before PRQ testing takes place. Submit ride quality results to The Engineer in accordance with Materials Method 653 within 45 days of completion of paving. Submit results to the Engineer in accordance to Materials Method 653. After the data is analyzed, calculate the corresponding quality units.
653-3.02 Corrective Action . Correct all 0.1 -mile sections that fail to meet the requirements of Tables 653 -
1 and 653 -2. Perform PRQ testing again where corrective actions were performed to ensure that the International Roughness Index (IRI) values are below the values noted above. Perform additional corrective work until the IRI are below the above values.
A.Diamond Grinding: Diamond grind areas in accordance with Section 505 Diamond Grinding. All grinding must be performed for the full width of the driving lane.
1.Asphalt Pavement: The total amount of grinding can not be more than 5% of the lane -miles. The surface texture after diamond grinding is acceptable and no additional texturing is required.
2.PCC Pavement: If more than 20% of the reporting segment is ground for any reason, diamond grind 95%, minimum, of the entire reporting segment.
B.Remove and Replace:
1.Asphalt Pavement: Perform corrective work by removing and replacing to the depth necessary to correct the deviations.
2.PCC Pavement: Perform corrective work by removing and replacing full depth sections as necessary.
653-4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. The quantity to be measured for payment will be in quality
units. Quality Unit Calculation. PRQ pay adjustments will be based on Total Quality Units (TQU). Total Quality Units is the summation of the IRI Quality Units (IRIQU) and the Localized Roughness Quality Units (LRQU): TQU = (IRIQU) + (LRQU)
A.International Roughness Index Quality Units (IRIQU)
1.Determine Quality Units for each PRQ lot using Table 653 -01 for Asphalt Pavements and Table 653 -02 for PCC Pavements and Materials Method 653.
2.For PRQ lots of a length different from 528 ft, adjust the number of Quality Units as follows: IRIQU = Quality Units from appropriate table x (Length of PRQ lot (ft)/528(ft))
3.Determine the total number of IRI Quality Units for the project by summing the Quality Units from all PRQ lots.

B.Localized Roughness Measurement (LRQU)
1.Determine the localized roughness lane lot percentage based on Materials Method 653 Localized Roughness Summary Report. Calculate the Localized Roughness Quality Units (LRQU) based on the following equation: LRQU = lane percentage * total quality units in contract * ( -2)
653-5 Basis of Payment.
Include the cost of all labor and equipment necessary to satisfactorily complete the work. Payment of Quality Adjustments will be made based on the number of Quality Units multiplied by the fixed price for Quality Adjustment Items listed in the contract documents for the quantity placed on the day the Quality Units represent. Payment will be made under: Item No. Item Pay Unit 653.1010 Pavement Ride Quality Adjustment to Asphalt Level 1 Quality Unit 653.1020 Pavement Ride Quality Adjustment to Asphalt Level 2 Quality Unit 653.2010 Pavement Ride Quality Adjustment to PCC Level 1 Quality Unit 653.2020 Pavement Ride Quality Adjustment to PCC Level 2 Quality Unit SECTION 654 - IMPACT ATTENUATORS - PERMANENT (Last Revcised May, 2019)
