405EVALUATION OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT LONGITUDINAL JOINT DENSITY AND PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE/DISINCENTIVE

PA · 2026 Standard SpecificationsBook pages 243245View official source ↗

405.3(e) 405.4 are damaged, immediately obtain replacement samples, as directed by the Representative, from within 12 inches of the original sample location. Within 24 hours after coring, backfill the hole(s) with mixture of the same JMF or with mixture used for subsequent courses and compact and seal the mixture. Identify the samples by longitudinal joint lot and sublot number, location, dates of placement, mixture type, and as acceptance samples (Sample Class AS). Provide the daily theoretical maximum specific gravity value as specified in Section 4 13.2(e)1.d.4 for the mix on each side of the longitudinal joint. The average of the two values will be used for the density calculation of each sublot according to PTM No. 729. Immediately package and deliver the samples to the Representative according to the QC Plan. Use sample containers of sufficient strength to prevent samples from being damaged during transport. Each joint core will be comprised of portions of two lanes, with the potential for two different JMFs within each core. The Representative will submit separate samples and Forms TR -447 for sublots after work stoppages of more than 5 days. The LTS will test the density samples according to PTM No. 715, and if necessary PTM No. 716, to determine the percent compaction.

(f)Percent Within Limits (PWL). Once all test results for a lot have been received, the Representative

will compute the PW L and average in place density for each lot as specified in Section 106.03(a)3.a and as follows. The lower specification limit (L) will be 91.0 %. No upper specification limit (U) for density will be factored into the PW L determination.

405.4MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT —Dollar

The proposal will include an item and a predetermined amount of money for Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Longitudinal Joint Density and Payment of Incentive/Disincentive. The Contract item will have a unit of measure of DOLLAR, a unit price of $1.00, and a quantity equal to the predetermined amount. When asphalt pavement longitudinal joint density evaluation indicates that a disincentive adjustment is applicable, the appropriate amount will be deducted from money due or to become due to the Contractor t hrough the processing of a contract adjustment. Due to the incentive or bonus status of the payment being made t he provisions of Section 110.02(d) are not applicable to this item. Measured and paid for, under the Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Longitudinal Joints and Payment of Incentive item as follows: For each lot Table A will be used to determine the incentive/disincentive payment for longitudinal joint density. The incentive/disincentive payment for a lot containing other than 5 sublots will be determined as a percentage of a full 12,500 feet lot
