D.Do not open the new pavement to traffic until the rolling operation is complete and the material has cooled below 185 degrees F.

3.7 Laboratory Correlation

A.Perform split -sample, paired t-testing with the Department based on project quality control testing using Department LQP qualified lab.
1.Perform split -sample, paired t analysis on all mix acceptance tests and tests related to volumetric properties.
2.Perform paired t -analysis as defined in the UDOT Materials Manual of Instruction, Appendix C.
3.Continue paired t -testing until at least two consecutive production days meet α = 0.05 for a two tailed distribution.
4.Resolve discrepancies in lab results within the first five production days.
a.Cease production if the requirements for two consecutive days of the fi rst five days cannot be met .
b.Submit a corrective action plan to the Engineer before production continues indicating the changes in procedures that will be implemented to correct the deficiencies. 1) Both Contractor and Department labs must make paired t test results available within 24 hours of sampling.
