of the various utilities to determine the exact location of the utilities and the owner’s schedule of
work. Unless otherwise noted, all utility adjustments will be performed by the Utility or its representative. The Contractor shall cooperate with the owners of any utilities in their adjustment operations.
Prior to preparing a bid, the bidder shall contact known utility owners to determine the nature, extent,
and location of existing, adjusted, or proposed new utility facilities within the areas of construction. It
is understood and agreed that the Contractor has considered in his bid all of the permanent and temporary utility appurtenances in their present and relocated positions, any proposed utility capital improvements, and the Contractor has contacted the utility owner with regard to their proposed schedule
of work. The Contractor shall include in his proposed schedule the amount of time to make utility adjustments, from time estimates furnished by the utility owners. Any costs associated with contacting
and coordinating with the utilities shall be reflected in the bid price for other items in the Contract.

102.04—Examination of Site of Work and Proposal
(a) Evidence of Examination of Site of Work and Proposal
The submission of a bid will be considered conclusive evidence that the bidder has examined the site of the proposed work, the bid proposal and other documents referenced therein,
and the plans before submitting a bid and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered
in performing the work and the requirements specified in the proposal.
(b) Subsurface Data
Subsurface data may be available for review by the bidder in the office of the District Materials Engineer or State Materials Division Administrator or as stated elsewhere in the proposal documents. Such data are accurate with regard to test holes and are made available to
the bidder in good faith in order to apprise him of information in possession of the Department. Any conclusions drawn by the Department concerning subsurface conditions are
based solely on the data and are merely indications of what appear to be existing subsurface
conditions. The Department does not warrant these conclusions to be correct, either expressly or by implication. Further, the Department does not warrant the condition, amount, or nature of the material that may be encountered or the sufficiency of the data, either expressly
or by implication. The bidder shall make his own interpretation of the subsurface data that
may be available and satisfy himself with regard to the nature, condition, and extent of the
material to be excavated, graded, or driven through. The submission of a bid will be considered conclusive evidence that the bidder is satisfied with regard to the subsurface conditions
to be encountered in the work and has taken such conditions into consideration when submitting the bid.

received a proposal and will be posted on the CABB system. These questions, answers and
statements from the CABB will be added to the contract as addenda.
The Department will not be responsible for any other explanations or interpretations of the
alleged ambiguities except those brought to the attention of and responded to by the State
Contract Engineer. No employee or agent of the Department shall have the authority to furnish any explanation or interpretation, verbal or written, of alleged ambiguities that are not
submitted to the Contract Engineer by the bidder.

by lot. Whenever any bidder is a resident of any other state and such state under its laws allows a resident contractor of that state a preference, a like preference may be allowed to the lowest responsive
and responsible bidder who is a resident of Virginia. The award date will not be later than midnight
on the 60th day after the opening of bids. If the Board, or the Commissioner; where permitted by law,

by or in behalf of the subcontractors and evidence of such insurance shall be submitted with
the sublet request.
Insurance coverage in the minimum amounts set forth herein shall not be construed to relieve the Contractor or subcontractor(s) of liability in excess of such coverage, nor shall it
preclude the Commonwealth from taking such actions as are available to it under any other
provision of this Contract or otherwise in law.
25

103.07

103.07—Failure to Furnish Bonds or Certificate of Insurance
Failure by the successful bidder to furnish the Department acceptable bonds, workers’ compensation
insurance or the Contractor’s Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability Insurance policy within 15
calendar days after being notified of the award of the Contract shall be considered just cause for cancellation of award and forfeiture of the proposal guaranty. In such event, the proposal guaranty shall
become the property of the Commonwealth, not as a penalty but in liquidation of damages sustained.
The Contract may then be awarded to the next lowest responsible bidder, or the work may be re-advertised or constructed otherwise, as determined by the Board.
In the event the successful bidder on an unbonded contract is unwilling or unable to fulfill the Contract and fails to notify the Department prior to execution of the Contract by the Department, the bidder will be declared in default in accordance with the requirements of Section 108.07.
In the event the bidder, on an unbonded contract, notifies the Department prior to execution of the
Contract by the Department of such unwillingness or inability to fulfill the Contract, the bidder will
be enjoined from bidding on an unbonded contracts for a period of no less than 90 days from the date
of notice by the Department.
A bidder who has never been enjoined or defaulted on an unbonded contract and who notifies the Department prior to contract execution of an unwillingness or inability to fulfill the Contract will not be
enjoined for the first occurrence; however, said bidder will not be permitted to rebid or perform work
on that specific Contract.

103.08—Contract Audit

decision in accordance with provisions of Section 105.19 or the Code of Virginia as amended and as
applicable, except that the provision for the Contractor to submit a claim within 60 days after final
payment shall not apply. If the Contractor elects to appeal the decision of the audit he shall within 60
days of the date of the notice of the Department’s findings submit a written request to appeal the decision to the Chief Engineer.

27

104.02

104.02—Alteration of Quantities or Character of Work
(a) General
The Engineer reserves the right to make, in writing, at any time during the work, such
changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as are necessary to complete the
project satisfactorily. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the
Contract or release the surety, and the Contractor shall agree to perform the work as altered.
No change, alteration or modification in or deviations from the Contract or the Contract
Documents, or the giving by the Department of any extension of time for the performance
of the Contract, or the forbearance on the part of the Department shall release or exonerate
in whole or in part either the Contractor or any surety on the obligations of any bond given
in connection with the Contract. Neither the Department nor the Contractor shall be under
any obligation to notify the surety or sureties of any such alteration, change, extension or
forbearance, notice thereof being expressly waived. Any increase in the Contract amount
shall automatically result in a corresponding increase in the penal amount of the bonds without notice to or consent from the surety, such notice and consent being hereby waived. Decreases in the Contract amount shall not, however, reduce the penal amount of the bonds
unless specifically provided in any change order as authorized in accordance with the provisions of Section 109.05 decreasing the scope of the work.
If the alterations in the nature of the work or changes in quantities, significantly change the
character of the work under the Contract, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profits for
reduced or eliminated work, may be made to the Contract. The basis for the adjustment
shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work. If a basis cannot be agreed upon,
an adjustment will be made either for or against the Contractor in such amount as the Engineer may determine to be fair and equitable.
At the option of the Engineer, the Contractor may be directed to accomplish the work on a
force account basis when the scope of work meets the requirements for such a determination
in accordance with the requirements of Section 109.05.
If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the
work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the Contract.
The term significant change shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
(1) When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature
from that involved or included in the original proposed construction or
(2) When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract is increased
or decreased more than 25 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase or decrease in cost due to an increase in quantity of
more than 25 percent shall be calculated only on that quantity in excess of
125 percent of the original contract bid item quantity. Also any allowance for
an increase or decrease in cost due to a decrease in quantity of more than 25
percent shall be calculated only on that quantity below 75 percent of the
original contract bid item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent,
to the actual amount of work performed, or
28

104.02
(3) When overruns and underruns of piling amount to more than 25 percent of
the original bid quantity, whether or not such item has been designated as a
major item, or
(4) When overruns or underruns of more than 100% on minor items can be demonstrated as not representative of the true cost of the work when considering
the unit bid price.
(b) Value Engineering Proposals
The Contractor may submit to the Engineer written Value Engineering Proposals (VEP) for
modifying the plans, Specifications, or other requirements of the Contract for the purpose of
reducing the total cost and/or contract time of construction without reducing the design capacity or quality of the finished product. If the VEP is accepted by the Department, the net
savings and/or contract time will be equally divided by the Department and the Contractor.
When an accepted VEP includes contract time savings, the contract completion date shall be
advanced by half of the time savings accepted in the VEP and the Contractor shall have exclusive use of the remaining half of the time as contractor float.
Each VEP shall result in a net savings over the contract cost and/or contract time without
impairing essential functions and characteristics of the item(s) or of any other part of the
project, including, but not limited to, service life, reliability, economy of operation, ease of
maintenance, aesthetics, and safety. At least the following information shall be submitted
with each VEP:
•

Statement that the proposal is submitted as a VEP

•

Statement concerning the basis for the VEP, benefits to the Department and an itemization of the contract items and requirements affected by the VEP

•

Detailed estimate of the cost and/or contract time under the existing Contract and under the VEP

•

Proposed specifications and recommendations as to the manner in which the VEP
changes are to be accomplished

•

Statement as to the time by which a contract work order adopting the VEP must be issued so as to obtain the maximum cost-effectiveness

The Department will process the VEP in the same manner as prescribed for any other proposal that would necessitate issuance of a work order. The Department may accept a VEP in
whole or part by issuing a work order that will identify the VEP on which it is based. The
Department will not be liable to the Contractor for failure to accept or act on any VEP submitted pursuant to these requirements or for delays in the work attributable to any VEP. Until a VEP is put into effect by a work order, the Contractor shall remain obligated to the
terms and conditions of the existing Contract. If an executed work order has not been issued
by the date on which the Contractor’s proposal specifies that a decision should be made or
such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have specified in writing, the VEP shall
be deemed rejected.
29

104.02
The work order effecting the necessary modification of the Contract will establish the net
savings agreed on, provide for adjustment of the contract prices, and/or contract time, and
indicate the net savings. The Contractor shall absorb all costs incurred in preparing a VEP.
Costs for reviewing and administering a VEP will be borne by the Department. The Department may include in the agreement any conditions it deems appropriate for consideration,
approval, and implementation of the VEP. The Contractor’s 50 percent share of the net savings and/or contract time shall constitute full compensation to him for effecting all changes
pursuant to the agreement.
Unless specifically provided for in the work order authorizing the VEP, acceptance of the
VEP and performance of the work thereunder will not change the contract time limit.
The Department may adopt a VEP for general use in contracts administered by the Department if it determines that the VEP is suitable for application to other contracts. VEPs identical with or similar to previously submitted VEPs will be eligible for consideration and compensation under these provisions if they have not been previously adopted for general application to other contracts administered by the Department. When a VEP is adopted for general use, compensation pursuant to these requirements will be applied only to those awarded
contracts for which the VEP was submitted prior to the date of adoption of the VEP.
Proposed changes in the basic design of a bridge or pavement type or those changes that require different right-of-way limits will not normally be considered an acceptable VEP. If a
VEP is based on or is similar to a change in the plans, Specifications, or special provisions
adopted by the Department prior to submission of the VEP, the Engineer will not accept the
VEP.
The Engineer will be the sole judge of the acceptability of a VEP. The requirements herein
apply to each VEP initiated, developed, and identified as such by the Contractor at the time
of its submission to the Engineer. However, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring
the Engineer to approve a VEP.
Subject to the provisions herein, the Department or any other public agency shall have the
right to use all or part of an accepted VEP without obligation or compensation of any kind
to the Contractor.
If a VEP is accepted by the Department, the provisions of (a) herein that pertain to the adjustment of contract unit prices attributable to alterations of contract quantities will not apply to the items adjusted or deleted as a result of putting the VEP into effect by a work order.

104.03—Differing Site Conditions
During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions differing materially from
those indicated in the contract are encountered at the site, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer in writing of the specific differing conditions.
If unknown physical conditions of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work provided for in the Contract, are encountered at the site the Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer in writing of the specific differing
conditions.
30

105.02
Upon receipt of such written notification, the Engineer will acknowledge receipt and investigate the
conditions. If it is determined by the Engineer that the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost or time required for the performance of any work under the Contract, an
adjustment, excluding anticipated profits, will be made and the Contract may be modified in writing
accordingly. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the Contract is warranted.

SECTION 105—CONTROL OF WORK
105.01—Notice to Proceed
Unless otherwise indicated in the Contract, the date of the Notice to Proceed will be the date of contract execution. The State Contract Engineer will contact the Contractor on the date of contract execution to inform him of such action. The State Contract Engineer will confirm this date in the Letter of
Contract Execution. This Letter of Contract Execution will be distributed to Department personnel involved in the administration of the Contract and to the Contractor. The Contractor shall begin work
within 15 days of the date of contract execution unless the Notice to Proceed date is otherwise indicated in the Contract, in which case the Contractor shall begin work within 15 days of the date of the Notice to Proceed indicated in the Contract.
Contract Time will commence on the date of the Notice to Proceed. The Letter of Contract Execution
will identify the Chief Engineer’s authorized representative, who is responsible for written directives
and changes to the Contract. The Engineer will contact the Contractor after notice of award to arrange
a pre-construction conference.
In the event the Contractor, for matters of his convenience, wishes to begin work later than 15 days
from the date of Notice to Proceed he shall make such a request in writing to the Engineer promptly
after the execution of the Contract. If the Contractor’s requested start date is acceptable to the Department, the Contractor will be notified in writing; however, the Contract fixed completion date will not
be adjusted but will remain binding. The Contractor’s request to adjust the start date for the work on
the Contract will not be considered as a basis for claim that the time resulting from Contractor’s requested start date, if accepted by the Engineer, is insufficient to accomplish the work nor shall it relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to perform the work in accordance with the scope of work
and requirements of the Contract. In no case shall work begin before the Department executes the
Contract. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours prior to the date on which he
plans to begin the work.

105.02—Pre-Construction Conference
Within 14 days after notification of award the Contractor shall attend a pre-construction conference
scheduled by the Engineer to discuss the Contractor’s planned operations for prosecuting and completing the work within the time limit of the Contract. At the pre-construction conference the Engineer
and the Contractor will identify in writing the authorities and responsibilities of project personnel for
each party. The pre-construction conference may be held simultaneously with the scheduling conference when the Engineer so indicates this in advance to the Contractor. When these are simultaneously
held, the Contractor shall come prepared to discuss preparation and submittal details of the progress
schedule in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
31

105.02
The Engineer will be responsible for setting the conference agenda, conducting discussions and ensuring that minutes of the conference are taken and later timely distributed to all attendees. The pre-construction conference will be the venue to review the contract plans and documents. To that end, the
conference agenda may include but not be limited to discussions on the general sequence of work, including the expected primary work tasks as defined by the Contractor, and proposed means and methods for the entire scope of work, potential problems or impacts, constructability issues, special considerations such as limitations and access issues, agreements with local agencies or governments, utility
impacts or relocations including railroads, coordination with schedules of the utilities and subcontractors and associated work, sources and delivery of critical materials, submittals required by Contract
documents including shop drawings, location of field office, labs, etc., environmental concerns including permits and erosion and siltation efforts, maintenance of traffic issues and EEO/DBE/MBE
requirements.
The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a list of all equipment available for use in the prosecution of the work on the contract at the pre-construction conference or no later than one week prior to
the first monthly progress estimate. The make, model, size, capacity, and year of manufacture shall be
listed for each piece of equipment. Where possible the Contractor shall provide this list in an electronic format. This list may take the form of the Contractor’s fleet list of equipment. The Contractor shall
provide the Engineer an updated list of equipment as changes occur.

105.03—Authorities of Project Personnel
(a) Authority of Engineer
During prosecution of the work, the Engineer will answer all questions that may arise as to
the quantity, quality, and acceptability of materials furnished and work performed; rate of
progress of the work; interpretation of the plans and Specifications; acceptable fulfillment
of the Contract by the Contractor; disputes and mutual rights between contractors; and compensation.
The Engineer has the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part if the Contractor has
created conditions that are unsafe or fails to correct conditions that are unsafe for workers or
the general public or fails to carry out the provisions of the Contract. The Engineer may also
suspend work for such periods as he may deem necessary because of catastrophic or extraordinary weather in accordance with the definition of such in Section 108.04, conditions
considered unsuitable for prosecution of the work, or any other condition or reason deemed
to be in the public interest.
The Engineer may issue written clarifications or directives that either enhance or alter the
Contract Documents. The Engineer may order such work as may be necessary to complete
the Contract satisfactorily.
(b) Authority of Inspector.
Inspectors employed by the Department are authorized to inspect all work performed and
materials furnished. Inspection may extend to all or any part of the work and to the preparation, fabrication, and manufacture of the materials to be used. The Inspector is not authorized to alter or waive the provisions of these Specifications or make changes in the plans.
32

105.05
The Inspector is not authorized to make final acceptance of the project, approve any operation or item, or act as foreman for the Contractor. However, the Inspector will have the authority to reject defective work and material and suspend work that is being improperly performed, subject to the concurrence of the Engineer. Such inspection shall not relieve the
Contractor of any obligation to furnish acceptable materials or provide completed construction that is in accordance with the requirements of the Contract.
The Inspector will exercise only such additional authority as may be delegated by the Engineer. The Engineer will advise the Contractor in writing of delegations of authority that will
affect his operations.

105.04—Gratuities
Gifts, gratuities, or favors shall not be given or offered by the Contractor to personnel of the Department. A gift, gratuity, or favor of any nature whatsoever or offer of such by the Contractor to personnel of the Department shall be a violation of this provision.
The Contractor shall not employ any personnel of the Department for any services without the prior
written consent of the Engineer.
If the Engineer determines after investigation that the Contractor or the Contractor’s employees, representatives, or agents of any person acting in his behalf have violated this provision, the Contractor
may, at the discretion of the Chief Engineer, be disqualified from bidding on future contracts with the
Department for a period of six months from the date of the Chief Engineer’s determination of such a
violation. Any implicated employees, agents, or representatives of the Contractor may be prohibited
from working on any contract awarded by the Department for the period of disqualification.

105.05—Character of Workers, Work Methods, and Equipment
(a) Workers
Workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the work assigned to
them. Workers engaged in special or skilled work shall have sufficient experience in such
work and in the operation of equipment required to perform it properly and satisfactorily.
Any person employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor who, in the opinion of the Engineer, does not perform his work in a proper and skillful manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, when directed in writing by the Engineer, be removed by the Contractor or subcontractor employing the person and shall not be employed again on any portion of the
work without the written approval of the Engineer. If the Contractor fails to remove the person or furnish suitable and sufficient personnel for proper prosecution of the work, the Engineer may withhold all monies that are or may become due the Contractor and may suspend the work until the Contractor has complied with the Engineer’s directive.
(b) Equipment
Equipment shall be of sufficient size and in such mechanical condition as to comply with
the requirements of the work and produce a satisfactory quality of work. Equipment shall be
such that no damage to the roadway, adjacent property, other highways or danger to the
33

105.05
public will result from its use. The Engineer may order the removal and require replacement
of unsatisfactory equipment.
(c) Work Methods
When methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor are not prescribed in the Contract, the Contractor is free to use whatever methods or equipment he feels will accomplish
the contract work in conformity with the requirements of the Contract.
When the Contract specifies that construction be performed by the use of particular methods
and equipment, they shall be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a different method or type of equipment, he may request permission
from the Engineer to do so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods and equipment he proposes to use and an explanation of the reasons for
desiring to make the change. If permission is not given, the Contractor shall use the specified methods and equipment. If permission is given, it will be on the condition that the Contractor shall be fully responsible for producing construction work in conformity with contract requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the Engineer
determines that the work produced does not conform to the requirements of the Contract,
the Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment and shall
complete the remaining construction with the specified methods and equipment. The Contractor shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of the specified quality or
take such other corrective action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in the
basis of payment for the construction items involved or the contract time limit as the result
of authorizing or denying a change in methods or equipment under these provisions.

105.06—Subcontracting
No portion of the Contract shall be subcontracted or otherwise disposed of without the written consent
of the District Administrator or his designee.
The Contractor shall perform with his own organization work amounting to not less than 30 percent of
the original contract value unless otherwise noted in the Contract.
The Contractor shall not subcontract any part of the contract work to a contractor who is not prequalified with the Department in accordance with the requirements of Section 102.01, unless otherwise indicated in the Contract. This restriction does not apply to contract specialty items, consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, or haulers. Consent to subcontract or otherwise dispose of any portion of the contract work shall not relieve the Contractor of any responsibility for the fulfillment of the entire Contract.

105.07—Cooperation of Contractor
The Contractor shall give the work the constant attention necessary to facilitate quality and progress
and shall fully cooperate with the Engineer, Inspector, and other contractors involved in the prosecution of the work. If any portion of a project is located within the limits of a municipality, military installation, or other federally owned property; the Contractor shall cooperate with the appropriate officials and agents in the prosecution of the work to the same extent as with the Department.
34

105.08
The Contractor shall have on the project at all times during prosecution of work a competent Superintendent capable of reading and understanding the plans and Specifications and experienced in the type
of work being performed who shall receive instructions from the Engineer or his authorized representatives. The Superintendent shall have full authority to execute the orders and directions of the Engineer without delay and supply promptly such materials, equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals as
may be required.

105.08—Cooperation with Regard to Utilities
The adjustment of utilities consists of the relocation, removal, replacement, rearrangement, reconstruction, improvement, disconnection, connection, shifting, or altering of an existing utility facility in
any manner.
Existing utilities within the Department’s knowledge at the design stage of the project will be indicated on the plans. Where possible, arrangements for adjusting these utilities will be made by the Department prior to project construction. Existing private and public utilities that require adjustment will be
adjusted by the utility owner or if denoted in the Contract, shall be adjusted by the Contractor as a
contract item. The new location of such utilities will not normally be shown on the plans. Some utilities may remain or be adjusted within the construction limits simultaneously with project construction
operations.
The Contractor shall coordinate project construction with planned utility adjustments and take all necessary precautions to prevent disturbance of the utility facilities. The Contractor shall report to the Engineer any failure on the part of the utility owner to cooperate or proceed with the planned utility adjustments.
The Contractor shall perform contract utility work in a manner that will cause the least inconvenience
to the utility owner and those being served by the utility owner.
Existing, adjusted, or new utility facilities that are to remain within the right of way shall be properly
protected by the Contractor to prevent disturbance or damage resulting from construction operations.
If during prosecution of the work the Contractor encounters an existing utility that requires adjustment
he shall not interfere with the utility but shall take the proper precautions to protect the facility and
shall promptly notify the Engineer of the need for adjustment.
If the Contractor desires the temporary or permanent adjustment of utilities for his own benefit, he
shall conduct all negotiations with the utility owners and pay all costs in connection with the adjustment.
When delays, inconvenience, or damage sustained by the Contractor are deemed by him to be attributable to interference by utility appurtenances, or the operation of moving the same, written requests
from the Contractor for an extension of time will be considered provided there has been a delay to either the critical path or the controlling item of work. Such delays shall be demonstrated by an impact
analysis of the Contractor’s schedule.
If it is determined that interference by utility appurtenances caused a delay of such magnitude or otherwise altered project operations so as to increase significantly the Contractor’s cost of performing the
work, the Engineer will consider additional compensation limited to the actual costs incurred by the
Contractor. Actual costs will not include unabsorbed office overhead unless the delay or impact adversely affects the critical path or controlling item of work to such extent that the fixed completion
35

105.08
date is delayed. Prior to the Engineer’s review, the Contractor shall present sufficient documentation
to substantiate fully the request for additional compensation. Such documentation shall be furnished
in sufficient detail as requested by the Engineer. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the
payment of additional compensation.

105.09—Cooperation among Contractors
The Department may at any time contract or approve concurrent contracts for performance of other
work on, near, or within the same geographical area of the work specified in an existing contract.
Contractors shall not impede or limit access to such work by others.
When separate contracts are awarded within the limits of one project, contractors shall not hinder the
work being performed by other contractors. Contractors working on the same project shall cooperate
with each other. In case of dispute, the Engineer will be the referee, and his decision will be binding
on all parties.
When contracts are awarded to separate contractors for known concurrent construction in a common
area, the contractors, in conference with the Engineer, shall establish a written joint schedule of operations. The schedule shall be based on the limitations of the individual contracts and the joining of the
work of one contract with the others. The schedule shall set forth the approximate dates and sequences for the several items of work to be performed and shall ensure completion within the contract
time limit. The schedule shall be submitted to the Engineer for review and approval no later than 30
days after the award date of the later contract and prior to the first monthly progress estimate. The
schedule shall be agreeable to, signed by, and binding on each contractor. The Engineer may allow
modifications of the schedule when benefit to the contractors and the Department will result.
Any modification of the schedule shall be in writing, mutually agreed to and signed by the contractors, and shall be binding on the contractors in the same manner as the original agreement.
If the contractors fail to agree on a joint schedule of operations, they shall submit their individual
schedules to the Engineer, who will prepare a schedule that will be binding on each contractor.
The joint schedule and any modification thereof shall become a part of each contract involved. The
failure of any contractor to abide by the terms of the joint schedule will be justification for declaring
the contractor in default of his Contract.
Each contractor shall assume all liability, financial or otherwise, in connection with his Contract and
shall protect and save harmless the Commonwealth from any and all damages and claims that may
arise because of any inconvenience, delay, or loss he experiences as a result of the presence and operations of other contractors working in or near the work covered by his Contract. He shall also assume
all responsibility for any of his work not completed because of the presence or operation of other contractors.
Except for an extension of the contract time limit, the Department will not be responsible for any inconvenience, delay, or loss experienced by the Contractor as a result of his failure to gain access to
the work at the time contemplated. When the failure to gain access is not due to any fault or negligence of the Contractor, an extension of the contract time limit will be allowed on the basis of the
amount of time delayed.
36

105.10
The Department will not assume any responsibility for acts, failures, or omissions of one contractor
that delay the work of another except as provided herein.

105.10—Plans and Working Drawings
(a) General
The Contractor will be supplied with two copies of the executed Contract. The Department’s Road and Bridge Specifications and the Department’s Road and Bridge Standards
will be available for purchase by the Contractor from the office of the State Contract Engineer.
(b) Plans
Plans will be furnished to the Contractor without charge as follows:

Plan revisions issued while the project is under construction will be furnished to the Contractor in the same sizes and number
The Contractor shall keep one complete set of plans, standard drawings, contract assemblies, and Specifications available on the project at all times. For maintenance projects, certain sign projects, and other projects having no field office or on which the Contractor has
no office, the Contractor shall keep one complete set of plans, contract assemblies, and
Specifications with him while prosecuting the work. In the event items of work are required
as per the Standard Drawings, the Contractor shall also keep the appropriate Standard
Drawings on the project during the performance of that work.
Plans consisting of general drawings and showing such details as are necessary to give a
comprehensive understanding of the work specified will be furnished by the Department.
Except as otherwise shown on the plans, dimensions shown on the plans are measured in the
respective horizontal or vertical planes. Dimensions that are affected by gradients or vertical
curvatures shall be adjusted as necessary by the Contractor to accommodate actual field
conditions and shall be specifically denoted as “field adjusted” on the working drawings.
Failure on the part of the Contractor to so denote field adjustments on the working drawings
shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to accommodate and incorporate such
existing conditions into the finished work.
(c) Working Drawings
The Contractor shall furnish working drawings to the extent, detail and number as may be
required by the Contract requirements. The Contractor shall submit to the Department for
review nine sets of required working drawings unless otherwise indicated in the Contract re37

105.10
quirements. Working drawings and submittals shall be identified by the complete state
project and job designation number, as well as the federal project number if applicable.
Items or component materials shall be identified by the specific contract item number and
Specification reference in the Contract. Any changes from the requirements of the Contract
shall be specifically denoted, together with justification, and submitted to the Engineer for
review. Working drawings shall be submitted in sufficient time to allow for review, discussion and correction prior to the beginning of the work they reference. Work shall not be performed or materials ordered prior to the completion of the Department’s review of the
working drawings.
Reviewed working drawings will be returned to the Contractor within 30 days from the date
of receipt by the Department. If a railroad, municipality, or other entity as specified in the
Contract or on the plans is required to review the working drawings, the reviewed working
drawings will be returned within 45 days from the date of receipt by the Department. If the
working drawings are not returned by the time specified, no additional compensation will be
allowed except that an extension of time in accordance with the requirements of Section
108.04 will be considered if the work element detailed by the working drawings is on the
project critical path or involves a controlling item of work. Three sets of working drawings
marked with any suggested modifications or comments will be returned to the Contractor.
The other sets will be retained by the Department.
The Department’s review of the Contractor’s working drawings will relate to conformance
to the requirements of the Contract. The review will not relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors in the working drawings or from complying with the requirements of the
Contract for a fully functional finished work item as specified or designed.
Deviations from the Contract requirements initiated by the Contractor shall be requested in
writing and clearly identified on the working drawings. Explicit supporting justification
shall be furnished specifically describing the reason for the requested deviations as well as
any impact such deviations shall have on the schedule of work. Failure to address time or
other impacts associated with the Contractor’s request will be cause for rejection of the
Contractor’s request. Deviations from the Contract requirements shall not be made unless
authorized by the Engineer. If authorized by the Engineer, such authorization shall not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for complying with the requirements of the
Contract for a fully functional finished work item as specified or designed.
If working drawings detailing a change(s) initiated by the Contractor require more than two
resubmissions or revisions, the cost of additional reviews by the Department or its designated representative(s) will be assessed to the Contractor.
Upon completion of the work, working drawings indicating the actual as-constructed field
conditions, if required or requested, shall be supplied to the Department.
The cost of working drawings furnished by the Contractor shall be included in the cost of
appropriate contract items.
The Contractor may authorize the fabricator in writing to act for him in matters relating to
working drawings. Such authorization shall have the force and effect of any other representative of the Contractor’s organization.
38

105.10
(1) Steel Structures
Working drawings for steel structures, including metal handrails, shall consist of shop detail, erection, and other working drawings showing details, dimensions, sizes of units, and other information necessary for the fabrication
and erection of metal work. Such drawings shall be signed and sealed by a
Professional Engineer, holding a valid license to practice engineering in the
Commonwealth of Virginia.
(2) Falsework
Working drawings for falsework supporting a bridge superstructure shall be
signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer, holding a valid license to practice engineering in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
(3) Concrete Structures and Prestressed Concrete Members
Working drawings for concrete structures and prestressed concrete members
shall provide such details as required for the successful prosecution of the
work and which are not included in the plans furnished by the Department.
Drawings shall include plans for items such as prestressing strand details and
elongation calculations, location of lift points, falsework, bracing, centering,
form work, masonry, layout diagrams and bending diagrams for reinforcing
steel when necessary or when requested. Such drawings shall be signed and
sealed by a Professional Engineer, holding a valid license to practice engineering in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
(4) Lighting, signal and pedestal poles, overhead and bridge mounted sign
structures, breakaway support systems, anchor bolts, framing units,
panels, and foundations.
Prior to fabrication or construction, the Contractor shall submit for review
one original and six copies of each working drawing and design calculation
for lighting, signal and pedestal poles, overhead and bridge mounted sign
structures, breakaway support systems, anchor bolts, framing units, panels,
and foundations. All sheets of these submittals shall include the Professional
Engineer’s signature and seal. Certification for foundations will be required
only when the designs are furnished by the Contractor. The designs shall be
in accordance with the specific editions of the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic
Signals as required in Section 700. Such designs shall be signed and sealed
by a Professional Engineer, holding a valid license to practice engineering in
the Commonwealth of Virginia.
(5) Reinforced Concrete Pipe
When specified, and prior to manufacture of reinforced concrete pipe, the
Contractor shall furnish to the Department a certification of the acceptability
of the design of such pipe, as determined from a review that has been signed
and sealed by a Professional Engineer holding a valid license to practice engineering in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Such certification shall cover
39

105.10
all design data, supporting calculations and materials. Pipe designs previously certified or approved by the Department will not require recertification.

105.11—Conformity with Plans and Specifications
Values for materials to be used in the work shall conform to the specified values or range of values
specified in the Contract. Less than complete conformity may be tolerated if obtaining exact or complete conformity would not be feasible and if authorized by the Engineer.
Permissible tolerances for the elevation of subgrade and finished grade, and for the thickness of the
various courses of pavement structure are specified in these Specifications. If permissive tolerances
are exceeded or if consistent deviations from the plans or abrupt changes in grade occur, even though
within the tolerances, the affected areas shall be reconstructed to conform to the specified tolerance
and provide a smooth riding surface. When it is not feasible to reconstruct the areas, payment will be
made in accordance with the requirements of the applicable specification for each material placed or
adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 105.18.
When the plans require the finished surface to tie into any structural item whose elevation is fixed, the
elevation of the finished surface must coincide with the elevation of the structural item.

105.12—Coordination of Plans, Standard Drawings, Specifications, Supplemental Specifications, Special Provisions, and Special Provision Copied Notes
The plans, Standard Drawings, these Specifications, supplemental specifications, special provisions,
special provision copied notes, and supplementary documents are parts of the Contract. These Contract documents are defined in Section 101 - Definitions. A requirement occurring in one shall be as
binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe and provide for a complete work. In case of a discrepancy, the following order of priority will apply, with the
highest governing item appearing first and the least governing item appearing last:
(a) Special provision copied notes. The pay items and pay units listed in the proposal have the
same status as special provision copied notes.
(b) Special provisions
(c) Plans
(d) Supplemental Specifications.
(e) Specifications
(f)

Standard Drawings. Calculated dimensions, unless obviously incorrect, will govern over
scaled dimensions.

Sketches, drawings, general notes and other written information that are not included in special provisions or special provision copied notes used in No Plan and Minimum Plan Concept projects will have
the same status as plans.
40

105.13
The Contractor shall not take advantage of any obvious or apparent error or omission in the plans or
Specifications. If the Contractor discovers an error or omission, he shall immediately notify the Engineer. The Engineer will then make such corrections and interpretations as may be deemed necessary
for fulfilling the intent of the Contract.

105.13—State Force Construction Surveying
(a) General Description:
This work shall consist of the Department performing all surveying and providing surveying
and stakeout sketches and information as detailed herein for the successful prosecution of
work as indicated on the plans and as directed by the Engineer. Stakeout work will be in accordance with the details and requirements of the Department’s Survey Manual and the provisions herein. Survey services will be provided to the extent detailed herein for Construction and for Minimum Plan projects.
(b) Request for Survey Services:
Once the Contractor requests survey services, the Department will begin the requested work
within 3 working days. The Contractor shall not expect the Department survey party to
work in the field during adverse weather conditions that could be detrimental to the survey
equipment or paperwork, therefore the Contractor shall plan the need for such services accordingly.
It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to preserve all Department furnished centerline or
baseline controls, references and location benchmarks. After initial stakeout, an hourly
charge equal to the current hourly rate for Department survey services per district will be
billed to the Contractor for resetting stakes where the cause for the resetting of such stakes
is due to the fault of the Contractor or his operations. This rate will also apply to travel time
to and from the project.
If the Contractor requests stakes after the initial staking and he is not ready to accommodate
such work, the Contractor will be billed the hourly rate for Department survey services per
district measured in travel time to and from the project. Such fees will be billed to the Contractor on the next monthly estimate.
(c) Contractor Responsibility for Examination of Data:
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to examine all surveying work provided by
the Department for accuracy. Should a disagreement involving the accuracy of stakeout or
survey work arise during construction, the Contractor shall within 24 hours provide written
notice to the Engineer, precisely describing and documenting the discrepancy. The Engineer
will determine the validity of the Contractor’s assertion in the notice, respond to the Contractor within 3 working days of receipt of the Contractor’s notice and provide direction on
how to proceed. The Engineer will give consideration to an extension of time in accordance
with the requirements of Section 108.04 of the Specifications or provide additional compensation as deemed appropriate after documentation and evidence to the Engineer’s satisfaction if the following occurs:
41

105.13
1. There are delays to the project as a result of inaccurate stakeout information provided
by the Department where such delays adversely impact the critical path of the work or
a controlling item if work or,
2. where extra expense is encountered by the Contractor to correct elements of defective
survey work by the Department, and
3. where written notice is provided by the Contractor within the timeframe specified.
Failure to furnish written notice of such a discrepancy within the timeframe specified
will invalidate any later claim for time impact or costs by the Contractor unless specifically waived by the Engineer.
(d) Survey Services Furnished:

the Engineer. Barricades and warning devices shall be illuminated where required during periods of
darkness and low visibility. The Contractor shall erect warning devices in advance of a location on the
project where operations or obstructions may interfere with the use of the road by traffic and at all intermediate points where the new work crosses or coincides with an existing roadway. The Contractor
shall maintain sign faces and reflective surfaces of warning devices in a clean and visible condition.
The Contractor shall cover or remove signs when the messages thereon are not applicable. Barricades,
warning signs, lights, temporary signals, and other protective devices shall conform to the requirements of Section 512.
The Contractor shall maintain the work from the beginning of construction operations until final acceptance. Maintenance shall be inherent to the continuous and effective work prosecuted day by day
with adequate equipment and forces to such end that the roadway and structures are sustained in a
safe and satisfactory condition at all times.
When a Contract specifies placing a course on another course or subgrade previously constructed, the
Contractor shall maintain the previous course or subgrade in accordance with the contract requirements during all construction operations.
The road shall be kept open to all traffic while undergoing improvements, unless otherwise permitted
in the Contract. The Contractor shall keep the portion of the project being used by public, pedestrian,
and vehicular traffic in such condition that traffic will be safely and adequately accommodated. However, removal of snow and control of ice on roads open to public travel will be performed by the Department.
The Contractor shall bear all costs of performing maintenance work before final acceptance and of
constructing and maintaining necessary approaches, crossings, intersections, and other features without direct compensation except as provided for herein. When the Contractor confines his operation to
the surface of the roadway and reasonable width of the shoulder and the surface is disturbed or damaged by his operations or equipment, he shall be responsible for the restoration and maintenance of
the surface that is disturbed or damaged.
The Contractor shall keep the portions of the road being used by the public free from irregularities
and obstructions that could present a hazard or annoyance to traffic. When directed by the Engineer,
allaying of dust shall be performed and paid for in accordance with the requirements of Section 511.
Holes in hard surface pavements shall be filled with approved asphalt patching material.
(a) Detours: Detours may be indicated on the plans or in the special provisions or may be used
with the approval of the Engineer. Unless otherwise designated in the contract, the Contractor will furnish and erect all directional markings for through traffic on off-project detours
authorized or requested by the Engineer. Detours over existing state roads will be designated, marked, and maintained by the Contractor. If any project is located wholly or in part
within the corporate limits of a municipality and through traffic is to be detoured at the request of the municipality, the municipality will provide and maintain the detours within the
corporate limits and will furnish and erect all directional markings. The provision of detours
47

105.14
and marking of alternate routes will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for ensuring the safety of the public or from complying with any requirements of these Specifications affecting the rights of the public within his contract limits, including those concerning
lights and barricades. Maintenance of all other detours shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor.
Right of way for temporary highways, diversion channels, sediment and erosion control features or bridges required by these provisions will be furnished by the Department.
(b) Maintenance of Traffic During Suspension of Work: During any suspension of work, the
Contractor shall temporarily open to traffic such portions of the project and temporary roadways as may be agreed upon by the Contractor and Engineer.
(c) Flagging Traffic: Certified flaggers shall be provided in sufficient number and locations as
necessary for control and protection of vehicular and pedestrian traffic in accordance with

able to communicate to the traveling public in English while performing the job duty as a
flagger at the flagger station. Flaggers shall use sign paddles to regulate traffic in accordance with the requirements of the VWAPM.
Certification for flaggers will be awarded upon a candidate’s satisfactory completion of an
examination. Certification cards shall be carried by flaggers while performing flagging duties. Flaggers found not to be in possession of their certification card shall be removed from
the flagging site and operations requiring flagging will be suspended by the Engineer. Further, flaggers performing duties improperly will have their certifications revoked.
(d) Delays: Unless indicated in the Contract Documents or otherwise approved by the Engineer, two-way traffic shall be maintained at all times. The Contractor shall not stop traffic
without permission of the Engineer.
If one-way traffic is approved, the Contractor shall provide flaggers to direct the traffic.
When specified in the Contract as a pay item, pilot vehicles shall be furnished in accordance
with the requirements of Section 512. Upon request from the Contractor and where deemed
appropriate by the Department, the Department will install traffic signals that may be used
for the control of one-way traffic. The Contractor shall pay the costs of installation, electrical service, maintenance or repair work, and a predetermined rental charge per day for the
signals and removal when no longer needed.
(e) Connections and Entrances: Connections with other roads and public and private entrances shall be kept in a reasonably smooth condition at all times.
Stabilization or surfacing material shall be applied to connections and entrances. When
specified in the Contract, such material will be paid for at the contract unit price for the specific material. Where such material is not specified in the Contract and determined to be required by the Engineer, the cost for stabilization or surfacing material will be handled in accordance with the provisions of Section 109.05.
The Contractor shall schedule construction operations so that approved continuous access is
provided for all property adjacent to the construction when the property is shown on the
plans to require access. When frontage roads are shown on the plans, they shall be con48

105.14
structed prior to the closing of any access routes unless other approved access is provided
and is acceptable to the property owner.
Connections or entrances shall not be disturbed by the Contractor until necessary. Once
connections or entrances have been disturbed, they shall be maintained and completed as
follows:
1. Connections: Connections that had an original paved surface shall be brought to a
grade that will smoothly and safely accommodate vehicular traffic through the intersection, using temporary pavement as soon as practicable after connections are disturbed. Connections that had an original unpaved surface shall be brought to a grade
that will smoothly and safely accommodate vehicular traffic through the intersection,
using either the required material or a temporary aggregate stabilization course that
shall be placed as soon as practicable after connections are disturbed.
If there are delays in prosecution of work for connections, connections that were originally paved shall have at least two lanes maintained with a temporary paved surface.
Those that were not originally paved shall be maintained with a temporary aggregate
stabilization course.
2. Entrances: Entrances shall be graded concurrently with the roadway with which they
intersect. Once an entrance has been disturbed, it shall be completed as soon as is practicable, including placing the required base and surface course or stabilization. If the
entrance must be constructed in stages, such as when there is a substantial change in
the elevation of the roadway with which it intersects, the surface shall be covered with
a temporary aggregate stabilization course or other suitable salvaged material until the
entrance can be completed and the required base and surface or stabilization course can
be placed.
(f)

Grading Operations: When the Contractor elects to complete the rough grading operations
for the entire project or exceed the length of one full day’s surfacing operations, the rough
grade shall be machined to a uniform slope from the top edge of the existing pavement to
the ditch line.
When the surface is to be widened on both sides of the existing pavement, construction operations involving grading or paving shall not be conducted simultaneously on sections directly opposite each other.
The surface of pavement shall be kept free from soil and other materials that might be hazardous to traffic. Prior to opening of new pavement to traffic, shoulders shall be roughly
dressed for a distance of 3 feet from the edge of the paved surface.

(g) Obstruction Crossing Roadways: Where the Contractor places obstructions such as suction or discharge pipes, pump hoses, steel plates or any other obstruction that must be
crossed by vehicular traffic, they shall be bridged as directed by the Engineer at the Contractor’s expense. Traffic shall be protected by the display of warning devices both day and
night. If operations or obstructions placed by the Contractor damage an existing traveled
roadway, the Contractor shall cease operations and repair damages to the roadway at no additional cost to the Department.
49

105.14
(h) Patching Operations: Where existing hydraulic cement concrete pavement is to be
patched, the operation of breaking and excavating old pavement shall extend for a distance
of not more than two miles. Patching shall be coordinated with excavating so that an area of
not more than one-half mile in which excavated patches are located shall be left at the end
of any day’s work. Necessary precautions shall be taken to protect traffic during patching
operations.
(i)

Temporary Structures: The Contractor shall construct, maintain, and remove temporary
structures and approaches necessary for use by traffic. Unless otherwise specified in the
Contract, the cost of these operations shall be included in pay items for the new structure.
After new structures have been opened to traffic, temporary structures and approaches shall
be removed. The materials contained therein shall remain the property of the Contractor.
The proposed design of temporary structures shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to the
beginning of construction in accordance with the requirements of Section 105.10.

(j)

Failure To Maintain Roadway or Structures: If the Contractor fails to remedy unsatisfactory maintenance immediately after receipt of a notice by the Engineer, the Engineer may
proceed with adequate forces, equipment, and material to maintain the project. The cost of
the maintenance, plus 25 percent for supervisory and administrative personnel, will be deducted from monies due the Contractor for the project.

(k) Haul Route: The Contractor shall select haul routes between the project and material
source(s) that will minimize disturbance to the community. The Contractor shall furnish to
the Engineer, for review, his plan for the haul route and for minimizing the adverse effects
of hauling operations on persons who reside adjacent to the haul route or persons who otherwise use a portion of the haul route for ingress or egress to their residential or work area.
The Department may select alternate haul routes, divide the hauling traffic over several
routes, and impose other restrictions deemed necessary to minimize the impact of the hauling operation on local residents.
(l)

Opening Sections of Projects to Traffic
When specified in the Contract or when directed by the Engineer, certain sections of the
work may be opened to traffic. Such opening shall not constitute acceptance of the work or
any part thereof or a waiver of any provision of the Contract.
On any section of the work opened by order of the Engineer where the Contract does not
provide for traffic to be carried through the work the Contractor will not be required to assume any expense entailed in maintaining the road for traffic. Such expense will be borne
by the Department or will be compensated for in accordance with the requirements of Section 109.05. Repair of slides and repair of damage attributable to traffic will be compensated for in accordance with the requirements of Section 109.05. Slides shall be removed by
the Contractor in accordance with the requirements of Section 303.
On any section of the work opened by order of the Engineer where the Contract does not
provide for traffic to be carried through the work, any additional cost for the completion of
other items of work that are required because of the changed working conditions will be
compensated in accordance with the requirements of Section 109.05.
50

105.16
If the Contractor is not continuously prosecuting the work to the satisfaction of the Engineer, he shall not be relieved of the responsibility for maintenance during the period the section is opened to traffic prior to final acceptance. Any expense resulting from the opening of
such portions under these circumstances, except slides, shall be borne by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall conduct the remainder of the construction operations so as to cause the
least obstruction to traffic.

105.15—Removing and Disposing of Structures and Obstructions
The Contractor shall remove and dispose of or store, as directed by the Engineer, fences, buildings,
structures, or encumbrances within the construction limits unless separate pay items for this work are
included in the Contract. Payment for these operations will be in accordance with the requirements of
Section 301.03. Materials so removed, including existing drains or pipe culverts, shall become the
property of the Contractor, with the exception of those materials to be stored or delivered to the Department or others as designated in the Contract.
(a) Signs: The Contractor shall relocate all signs within the construction limits that conflict
with construction work as approved by the Engineer. Signs that are not needed for the safe
and orderly control of traffic during construction as determined by the Engineer shall be removed and stored at a designated location within the project limits. The removed signs shall
be stored above ground in a manner that will preclude damage and shall be reinstalled in
their permanent locations prior to final acceptance. If any of the removed signs are not to be
reinstalled, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at the time the signs have been properly
stored. Such signs will be removed from the storage area by the Department. Any sign that
is damaged or lost because of the fault of the Contractor shall be repaired or replaced at his
expense. Costs for removing, storing, protecting, and reinstalling such signs shall be included in the price bid for other items in the Contract, and no additional compensation will be
made.
(b) Mailboxes and Newspaper Boxes: When removal of mailboxes and newspaper boxes is
made necessary by construction operations, the Contractor shall place them in temporary locations so that access to them will not be impaired. Prior to final acceptance, boxes shall be
placed in their permanent locations as designated by the Engineer and left in as good condition as when found. Boxes or their supports that are damaged through negligence on the part
of the Contractor shall be replaced at his expense. The cost of removing and resetting boxes
shall be as specified in the Contract.

105.16—Cleanup

are subject to inspection. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer and Inspectors with full and safe
access to all parts of the work and shall be furnished such information and assistance by the Contractor as are required to make a complete, timely and detailed inspection. The Engineer and his appointed representatives shall have ready access to machines and plant equipment used in processing or
placing materials.
Prior to the beginning of operations, the Engineer will meet with the Contractor to establish an understanding of the critical stages of work that shall be performed in the presence of the Inspector. In order for the Department to schedule inspection of the work, the Contractor shall keep the Engineer informed of planned operations in accordance with the requirements of Section 108.03
If the Engineer requests it, the Contractor shall remove or uncover such portions of the finished work
as may be directed at any time before final acceptance. The Contractor shall restore such portions of
the work to comply with the appropriate contract specification requirements. If the work exposed is
acceptable, the uncovering or removing and replacing the covering or making good the parts removed
will be paid for as extra work in accordance with the requirements of Section 104.03. If the work is
unacceptable, the cost of uncovering or removing and replacing the covering or making good the parts
removed shall be borne by the Contractor.
When any unit of government, political subdivision, or public or private corporation is to pay a portion of the cost of the work specified in the Contract, its representatives shall have the right to inspect
the work. The exercise of this right shall not be construed as making them a party or parties to the
Contract or conferring on them the right to issue instructions or orders to the Contractor.
If materials are used or work is performed without inspection by an authorized representative of the
Department, the Contractor may be ordered to remove and replace the work or material at his own expense unless the Department’s representative failed to inspect the work or material after having been
given reasonable notice in writing that the material was to be used or the work was to be performed.
If an inspection reveals that work has not been properly performed, the Contractor will be so advised
and he shall immediately inform the Department of his schedule for correcting such work and the time
when a reinspection can be made.

105.18—Removal of Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work
Work that does not conform to the requirements of the Contract will be considered unacceptable
work.
Unacceptable work shall be remedied or removed as determined by the Engineer and replaced in an
acceptable manner at the Contractor’s expense. The Engineer may accept the work at a reduced price
when acceptance is considered to be in the best interest of the public.
52

105.19
Work that is done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, contrary to the requirements of the
Contract, beyond the lines shown on the plans or as designated by the Engineer except as specified
herein, or without authority will be considered unauthorized and will not be paid for. Such work may
be ordered removed or replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
The Contractor shall not perform destructive sampling or testing of the work without written authorization of the Engineer. Unauthorized destructive sampling or testing will cause the work to be considered unacceptable.
In the event the Contractor is granted authorization to perform destructive sampling or testing, the
Contractor shall obtain the approval of the Engineer for the method and location of each test prior to
beginning such sampling or testing. In addition, destructive sampling and testing shall be performed
in the presence of the Engineer.
If the Contractor fails to comply immediately with any order of the Engineer made under the provisions of this Section, the Engineer will have the authority to cause unacceptable work to be removed
and replaced and to deduct the cost from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.

105.19—Submission and Disposition of Claims
Early or prior knowledge by the Department of an existing or impending claim for damages could alter the plans, scheduling, or other action of the Department or result in mitigation or elimination of the
effect of the act objected to by the Contractor. Therefore, a written statement describing the act of
omission or commission by the Department or its agents that allegedly caused damage to the Contractor and the nature of the claimed damage shall be submitted to the Engineer at the time of each and
every occurrence that the Contractor feels gives it the right to make a claim or prior to the beginning
of the work upon which a claim and any subsequent action will be based. The written statement shall
clearly inform the Department that it is a “notice of intent to file a claim.” If such damage is deemed
certain in the opinion of the Contractor to result from his acting on an order from the Engineer, he
shall immediately take written exception to the order. Submission of a notice of intent to file a claim
as specified shall be mandatory. Failure to submit such notice of intent shall be a conclusive waiver to
such claim for damages by the Contractor. An oral notice or statement will not be sufficient nor will a
notice or statement after the event.
In addition, at the time of each and every occurrence that the Contractor feels gives it the right to
make a claim or prior to beginning the work upon which a claim and any subsequent action will be
based, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer an itemized list of materials, equipment, and labor for
which additional compensation will be claimed. Only actual cost for materials, labor and equipment
will be considered. The Contractor shall afford the Engineer every facility for keeping an actual cost
record of the work. The Contractor and the Engineer shall compare records and bring them into agreement at the end of each day. Failure on the part of the Contractor to afford the Engineer proper facilities for keeping a record of actual costs will constitute a waiver of a claim for such extra compensation except to the extent that it is substantiated by the Department’s records. The filing of such notice
of intent by the Contractor and the keeping of cost records by the Engineer shall in no way establish
the validity of a claim.
Upon completion of the Contract, the Contractor may, within 60 days after the final estimate date established by the Department pursuant to Virginia Code, § 33.1-386, deliver to the Department a written claim, which must be a signed original claim document along with three legible copies of the
claim document, for the amount he deems he is entitled to under the Contract. For the purpose of this
53

105.19
Section, the final estimate date shall be that date set forth in a letter from the Department to the Contractor sent by certified mail and shall be considered as the date of notification of the Department’s final estimate. Regardless of the manner of delivery of the claim, the Department must receive and have
physical possession of the Contractor’s written claim within the 60 day period that commences with
the final estimate date. Submittals received by the Department either before the final estimate date or
after the 60 day period shall not have standing as a claim The claim shall set forth the facts upon
which the claim is based. The Contractor shall include all pertinent data and correspondence that may
substantiate the claim. Only actual cost for materials, labor and equipment will be considered. If the
Contractor makes a claim, the Department shall have the right, at its expense, to review and copy all
of the Contractor’s non-privileged project files and documents, both electronic and paper, for use in

SECTION 106—CONTROL OF MATERIAL
106.01—Source of Supply and Quality Requirements
The materials used throughout the work shall conform to the requirements of the Contract. The Contractor shall regulate his supplies so that there will be a sufficient quantity of tested material on hand
at all times to prevent any delay of work. Except as otherwise specified, materials, equipment, and
components that are to be incorporated into the finished work shall be new. Within 30 days after notification of award of the Contract, but not later than 7 days prior to the beginning of construction operations under the Contract, the Contractor shall file a statement of the known origin, composition and
manufacture of all materials to be used in the work, including optional or alternate items. Material requirements not previously reported shall be submitted at least 60 days prior to their use on the project,
but not less than two weeks prior to delivery. The Contractor’s statement shall be electronically submitted by use of Form C-25 and shall be identified by the complete project number, and all items or
component materials shall be identified by the specific contract item number and the Specification
reference shown in the Contract.
At the option of the Engineer, materials may be approved at the source of supply. If it is found during
the life of the Contract that previously approved sources of supply do not supply materials or equipment conforming to the requirements of the Contract, do not furnish the valid test data required to
document the quality of the material or equipment, or do not furnish documentation to validate quantities to document payment, the Contractor shall change the source of supply and furnish material or
equipment from other approved sources. The Contractor shall notify the Department of this change,
and provide the same identifying information noted in this Section, at least 60 days prior to their use
on the project, but not less than two weeks prior to delivery.
Materials shall not contain toxic, hazardous, or regulated solid wastes or be furnished from a source
containing toxic, hazardous or regulated solid wastes.
When optional materials are included in the Contract, the Contractor shall advise the Engineer in writing of the specific materials selected. Thereafter, the Contractor shall use the selected materials
55

106.01
throughout the project unless a change is authorized in writing by the Engineer. However, when the
Contractor has an option as to the type of pipe that may be used, he may use any of the approved
types for each size of pipe, but he shall use the same type for a particular line. The Engineer may authorize other types and sources in an emergency that will not unreasonably delay delivery of the selected material.
Equipment and material guaranties or warranties that are normally given by a manufacturer or supplier, or are otherwise required in the Contract, shall be obtained by the Contractor and assigned to the
Commonwealth in writing. The Contractor shall also provide an in-service operation guaranty on all
mechanical and electrical equipment and related components for a period of at least six months, beginning on the date of partial acceptance of that specific item(s) or final acceptance of the project.

106.02—Material Delivery
The Contractor shall advise the Engineer at least 2 weeks prior to the delivery of any material from a
commercial source. Upon delivery of any such material to the project, the Contractor shall provide the
Engineer with one copy of all invoices (prices are not required). The following materials shall also
comply with the requirements of Section 109.01: asphalt concrete; dense graded aggregate, to include
aggregate base, subbase, and select material; fine aggregate; open graded coarse aggregate; crusher
run aggregate; and road stabilization aggregate. The printed weights of each load of these materials,
as specified in Section 109.01, shall accompany the delivery, and such information shall be furnished
to the Inspector at the project.

106.03—Local Material Sources (Pits and Quarries)
The requirements set forth herein apply exclusively to non-commercial pits and quarries from which
materials are obtained for use on contracts awarded by the Department.
Local material sources shall be concealed from view from the completed roadway and any existing
public roadway. Concealment shall be accomplished by selectively locating the pit or quarry and spoil
pile, providing environmentally compatible screening between the pit or quarry site and the roadway,
or using the site for another purpose after removal of the material, or restoration equivalent to the
original use (such as farm land, pasture, turf, etc.). The foregoing requirements shall also apply to any
pit or quarry opened or reopened by a subcontractor or supplier. However, the requirements will not
apply to commercial sand and gravel and quarry operations actively processing material at the site prior to the date of the Notice of Advertisement.
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a statement signed by the property owner in which the property owner agrees to the use of his property as a source of material for the project. Upon completion
of the use of the property as a material source, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a release
signed by the property owner indicating that the property has been satisfactorily restored. This requirement will be waived for commercial sources, sources owned by the Contractor, and sources furnished by the Department.
Local material pits and quarries that are not operated under a local or State permit shall not be opened
or reopened without authorization by the Engineer. The Contractor shall submit for approval a site
plan, including, but not limited to, the following
(1) the location and approximate boundaries of the excavation;
56

106.03
(2) procedures to minimize erosion and siltation;
(3) provision of environmentally compatible screening;
(4) restoration;
(5) cover vegetation;
(6) other use of the pit or quarry after removal of material, including the spoil pile;
(7) the drainage pattern on and away from the area of land affected, including the directional flow of water and a certification with appropriate calculations that verify all receiving channels are in compliance with Minimum Standard 19 of the Virginia Erosion
and Sediment Control Regulations;
(8) location of haul roads and stabilized construction entrances if construction equipment
will enter a paved roadway;
(9) constructed or natural waterways used for discharge;
(10) a sequence and schedule to achieve the approved plan and;
(11) the total drainage area for temporary sediment traps and basins shall be shown. Sediment traps are required if the runoff from a watershed area of less than three acres
flows across a disturbed area. Sediment basins are required if the runoff from a watershed area of three acres or more flows across a disturbed area. The Contractor shall
certify that the sediment trap or basin design is in compliance with VDOT Standards
and Specifications, and all local, state, and federal laws. Once a sediment trap or basin
is constructed, the dam and all outfall areas shall be immediately stabilized.
The Contractor’s design and restoration shall be in accordance with the Contract requirements and in
accordance with the requirements of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
If the approved plan provides for the continued use or other use of the pit or quarry beyond the date of
final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish the Department a bond made payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia in an amount equal to the Engineer’s estimate of the cost of performing the restoration work. If the pit or quarry is not used in accordance with the approved plan within 8 months after
final acceptance, the Contractor shall perform restoration work as directed by the Engineer, forfeit his
bond, or furnish the Engineer with evidence that he has complied with the applicable requirements of
the State Mining Law.
Topsoil on Department owned or furnished borrow sites shall be stripped and stockpiled as directed
by the Engineer for use as needed within the construction limits of the project or in the reclamation of
borrow and disposal areas.
If payment is to be made for material measured in its original position, material shall not be removed
until Digital Terrain Model (DTM) or cross-sections have been taken. The material shall be reserved
exclusively for use on the project until completion of the project or until final DTM or cross-sections
have been taken.
57

106.03
If the Contractor fails to provide necessary controls to prevent erosion and siltation, if such efforts are
not made in accordance with the approved sequence, or if the efforts are found to be inadequate the
Department will withdraw approval for the use of the site and may cause the Contractor to cease all
contributing operations and direct his efforts toward corrective action or may perform the work with
state forces or other means as determined by the Engineer. If the work is not performed by the Contractor, the cost of performing the work, plus 25 percent for supervisory and administrative personnel,
will be deducted from monies due the Contractor.
Costs for applying seed, fertilizer, lime, and mulch; restoration; drainage; erosion and siltation control; regrading; haul roads; and screening shall be included in the Contract price for the type of excavation or other appropriate items.
If the Contractor fails to fulfill the provisions of the approved plan for screening or restoring material
sources, the Department may withhold and use for the purpose of performing such work any monies
due the Contractor at the time of the final estimate. The Contractor shall be held liable for penalties,
fines, or damages incurred by the Department as a result of his failure to prevent erosion or siltation
and take restorative action.
After removing the material, the Contractor shall remove metal, lumber, and other debris resulting
from his operations and shall shape and landscape the area in accordance with the approved plan for
such work.
(a) Sources Furnished by the Department: Sources furnished by the Department will be
made available to the Contractor together with the right to use such property as may be required for a plant site, stockpiles, and haul roads. The Contractor shall confine his excavation operations to those areas of the property specified in the Contract.
The Contractor shall be responsible for excavation that shall be performed in order to furnish the specified material.
(b) Sources Furnished by the Contractor: When the Contractor desires to use local material
from sources other than those furnished by the Department, he shall first secure the approval of the Engineer. The use of material from such sources will not be permitted until test results have been approved by the Engineer and written authority for its use has been issued.
The Contractor shall acquire the necessary rights to take material from sources he locates
and shall pay all related costs, including costs that may result from an increase in the length
of the haul. Costs of exploring, sampling, testing, and developing such sources shall be
borne by the Contractor. The Contractor shall obtain representative samples from at least
two borings in parcels of 10 acres or less and at least three additional borings per increment
of 5 acres or portion thereof to ensure that lateral changes in material are recorded. Drill
logs for each test shall include a soil description and the moisture content at intervals where
a soil change is observed or at least every 5 feet of depth for consistent material. Samples
obtained from the boring shall be tested by an approved laboratory for grading, Atterberg
limits, CBR, maximum density, and optimum moisture. The Department will review and
evaluate the material based on test results provided by the Contractor. The Department will
reject any material from a previously approved source that fails a visual examination or
whose test results show that it does not conform to the Specifications or specific contract requirements.
58

106.04

106.04—Disposal Areas
Unsuitable or surplus material shown on the plans shall be disposed of as specified herein. Material
not used on the project shall be disposed of by the Contractor off the right of way. The Contractor
shall obtain the necessary rights to property to be used as an approved disposal area. For the purpose
of this Specification an approved disposal area is defined as that which is owned privately, not operated under a local or State permit and has been approved by the Department for use in disposing of
material not used on the project.
When neither unsuitable nor surplus material is shown on the plans, the Contractor shall dispose of it
as shown herein. If the Contractor, having shown reasonable effort, is unsuccessful in obtaining the
necessary rights to property to be used as an approved disposal area, the Department will obtain rights
for disposal unless otherwise provided for in the contract. Compensation, if not shown in the Contract,
will be in accordance with the requirements of Section 104.02.
Prior to the Department approving a disposal area, the Contractor shall submit a site plan. The plan
shall show:
(1) the location and approximate boundaries of the disposal area;
(2) procedures to minimize erosion and siltation;
(3) provision of environmentally compatible screening;
(4) restoration;
(5) cover vegetation;
(6) other use of the disposal site;
(7) the drainage pattern on and away from the area of land affected, including the directional flow of water and a certification with appropriate calculations that verify all receiving channels are in compliance with Minimum Standard 19 of the Virginia Erosion
and Sediment Control Regulations;
(8) location of haul roads and stabilized construction entrances if construction equipment
will enter a paved roadway;
(9) constructed or natural waterways used for discharge;
(10) a sequence and schedule to achieve the approved plan and;
(11) the total drainage area for temporary sediment traps and basins shall be shown. Sediment traps are required if the runoff from a watershed area of less than three acres
flows across a disturbed area. Sediment basins are required if the runoff from a watershed area of three acres or more flows across a disturbed area. The Contractor shall
certify that the sediment trap or basin design is in compliance with VDOT Standards
and Specifications, all local, state, and federal laws. Once a sediment trap or basin is
constructed, the dam and all outfall areas shall be immediately stabilized.
59

106.04
Disposal areas shall be cleared but need not be grubbed. The clearing work shall not damage grass,
shrubs, or vegetation outside the limits of the approved area and haul roads thereto. After the material
has been deposited, the area shall be shaped to minimize erosion and siltation of nearby streams and
landscaped in accordance with the approved plan for such work or shall be used as approved by the
Engineer. The Contractor’s design and restoration shall conform to the requirements of the contract
and federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
If the Contractor fails to provide and maintain necessary controls to prevent erosion and siltation, if
such efforts are not made in accordance with the approved sequence, or if the efforts are found to be
inadequate, the Department will withdraw approval for the use of the site and may cause the Contractor to cease all contributing operations and direct his efforts toward corrective action or may perform
the work with state forces or other means as determined by the Engineer. If the work is not performed
by the Contractor, the cost of performing the work, plus 25 percent for supervisory and administrative
personnel, will be deducted from monies due the Contractor.
The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a statement signed by the property owner in which the owner agrees to the use of his property for the deposit of material from the project. Upon completion of
the use of the property as an approved disposal area, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a release signed by the property owner indicating that the property has been satisfactorily restored. This
requirement will be waived for commercial sources, sources owned by the Contractor, and sources
furnished by the Department.
Material encountered by the Contractor shall be handled as follows:
(a) Unsuitable material for the purpose of this Specification is defined as material having poor
bearing capacity, excessive moisture content, extreme plasticity or other characteristics as
defined by the Engineer that makes it unacceptable for use in the work and shall be disposed
of at an approved disposal area or landfill licensed to receive such material.
(b) Surplus material as shown on the plans shall be disposed of by flattening slopes, used to
fill in ramp gores and medians, or if not needed, disposed of at an approved disposal area or
a landfill licensed to receive such material.
Surplus material stockpile areas on the right-of-way shall be cleared but need not be
grubbed. The clearing work shall not damage grass, shrubs, or vegetation outside the limits
of the approved area and the haul roads thereto. Placement of fill material shall not adversely affect existing drainage structures. If necessary, modified existing drainage structures, as
approved by the Engineer, shall be paid for in accordance with Section 109.05. Within 7
days after the material has been deposited, the area shall be shaped and stabilized to minimize erosion and siltation.
(c) Organic materials such as, but not limited to, tree stumps and limbs (not considered merchantable timber), roots, rootmat, leaves, grass cuttings, or other similar materials shall be
chipped or shredded and used on the project as mulch, given away, sold as firewood or
mulch, burned at the Contractor’s option if permitted by local ordinance, or disposed of at a
facility licensed to receive such materials. Organic material shall not be buried in state
rights of way or in an approved disposal area.
(d) Rootmat for the purpose of this Specification is defined as any material that, by volume,
contains approximately 60 percent or more roots and shall be disposed of in accordance
with (c) herein.
60

106.06
(e) Inorganic materials such as brick, cinder block, broken concrete without exposed reinforcing steel, or other such material may be used in accordance with Section 303.04 or shall be
disposed of at an approved disposal area or landfill licensed to receive such materials. If disposed of in an approved disposal area, the material shall have enough cover to promote soil
stabilization in accordance with the requirements of Section 303 and shall be restored in accordance with other provisions of this Section.
Concrete without exposed reinforcing steel , may be crushed and used as rock in accordance
with Section 303. If approved by the Engineer, these materials may be blended with soils
that meet AASHTO M57 requirements and deposited in fill areas within the right-of-way in
accordance with the requirements of Section 303 as applicable.
(f)

Excavated rock in excess of that used within the project site in accordance with the requirements of Section 303 shall be treated as surplus material.

(g) Other materials such as, but not limited to, antifreeze, asphalt (liquid), building forms,
concrete with reinforcing steel exposed, curing compound, fuel, hazardous materials, lubricants, metal, metal pipe, oil, paint, wood or metal from building demolition, or similar materials shall not be disposed of at an approved disposal area but shall be disposed of at a
landfill licensed to receive such material.

106.05—Rights for and Use of Materials Found on Project
With the approval of the Engineer, the Contractor may use in the project any materials found in the
excavation that comply with the requirements of the Specifications. Unless otherwise specified, the
Contractor will be paid for both the excavation of such materials at the contract unit price and for the
pay item for which the excavated material is used. However, the Contractor shall replace at his own
expense with other acceptable material the excavation material removed and used that is needed for
use in embankments, backfills, approaches, or otherwise. The Contractor shall not excavate or remove
any material from within the construction limits that is not within the grading limits, indicated by the
typical section, slope and grade lines shown in the plans without written authorization by the Engineer.

106.06—Samples, Tests, and Cited Specifications
Materials will be inspected and tested by the Engineer before or during their incorporation in the
work. However, the inspection and testing of such material shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for furnishing material that conforms to the requirements of the Specifications. The Department may retest all materials that have been accepted at the source of supply after delivery and
will reject those that do not conform to the requirements of the Specifications. Stored material may be
re-inspected prior to use. Work in which untested materials are used without the written permission of
the Engineer may be considered unacceptable.
Unless reference is made to a specific dated Specification, references in these Specifications to
AASHTO, ASTM, VTM, and other standard test methods and materials requirements shall refer to either the test specifications that have been formally adopted or the latest interim or tentative specifications that have been published by the appropriate committee of such organizations as of the date of
the Notice of Advertisement. Unless otherwise indicated, tests for compliance with specification requirements will be made by and at the Department’s expense except that the cost of retests, exclusive
61

106.06
of the first retest, shall be borne by the Contractor. Samples shall be furnished by the Contractor at his
expense, and those that are not tested by the Contractor will be tested by a representative of the Department.
The inspection cost of structural steel items fabricated in a country other than the continental United
States shall be borne by the Contractor. Inspection of structural fabrication shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate VTM by a commercial laboratory approved by the
Department. Additional cleaning or repair necessary because of environmental conditions in transit
shall be at the Contractor’s expense.
In lieu of testing, the Engineer may approve the use of materials based on the receipt of a certification
furnished by the Contractor from the manufacturer. However, furnishing the certificate shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for furnishing materials that conform to the requirements of
the Specifications or the contract requirements.
Materials requiring an MSDS will not be accepted at the project site for sampling or at the Department’s laboratories for testing without the document.

106.07—Plant Inspection
If the Engineer inspects materials at the source, the following conditions shall be met:
(a) The Engineer shall have the cooperation and assistance of the Contractor and producer of
the materials.
(b) The Engineer shall have full access to parts of the plant that concern the manufacture or
production of the materials being furnished.
(c) For materials accepted under a quality assurance plan, the Contractor or producer shall furnish equipment and maintain a plant laboratory at locations approved for plant processing of

quality control testing.
The laboratory shall be of weatherproof construction, tightly floored and roofed, and shall
have adequate lighting, heating, running water, ventilation, and electrical service. The ambient temperature shall be maintained between 68 degrees F and 86 degrees F and thermostatically controlled. The laboratory shall be equipped with a telephone, intercom, or other electronic communication system connecting the laboratory and scale house if the facilities are
not in close proximity to each other. The laboratory shall be constructed in accordance with
the requirements of local building codes.
The Contractor or producer shall furnish, install, maintain, and replace, as conditions necessitate, testing equipment specified by the appropriate ASTM, AASHTO method or VTM
being used and provide necessary office equipment and supplies to facilitate keeping records and generating test reports. The Contractor or producer’s technician shall maintain current copies of test procedures performed in the laboratory. The Contractor shall calibrate or
verify all balances, scales and weights associated with testing performed as specified in
AASHTO R18. The Contractor or producer shall also provide and maintain an approved test
stand for accessing truck beds for the purpose of sampling and inspection. The Department
62

106.10
may approve a single laboratory to service more than one plant belonging to the same Contractor or producer.
For crushed glass, the plant equipment requirements are waived in lieu of an independent
third-party evaluation and certification of crushed glass properties by an AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL)-accredited commercial soil testing laboratory demonstrating that the supplied material conforms to the specified requirements of Section 203.
Random triplicate samples will be evaluated and analyzed for every 1,000 tons of material
supplied to the project. The averaged results will be used for evaluation purposes. Suppliers
of crushed glass shall maintain third party certification records for a period of three years.

106.08—Storing Materials
Materials shall be stored in a manner so as to ensure the preservation of their quality and fitness for
the work. When considered necessary by the Engineer, materials shall be stored in weatherproof
buildings on wooden platforms or other hard, clean surfaces that will keep the material off the ground.
Materials shall be covered when directed by the Engineer. Stored material shall be located so as to facilitate their prompt inspection. Approved portions of the right of way may be used for storage of material and equipment and for plant operations. However, equipment and materials shall not be stored
within the clear zone of the travel lanes open to traffic.
Additional required storage space shall be provided by the Contractor at his expense. Private property
shall not be used for storage purposes without the written permission of the owner or lessee. The Contractor shall furnish copies of the owner’s written permission to the Engineer. Upon completion of the
use of the property, the Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a release signed by the property owner
indicating that the property has been satisfactorily restored.
Chemicals, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, paints, raw sewage, and other harmful materials as determined
by the Engineer shall not be stored within any floodplain unless no other location is available and
only then shall the material be stored in a secondary containment structure(s) with an impervious liner. Also, any storage of these materials in proximity to natural or man-made drainage conveyances or
otherwise where the materials could potentially reach a waterway if released under adverse weather
conditions, must be stored in a bermed or diked area or inside a container capable of preventing a release. Double-walled storage tanks shall meet the berm/dike containment requirement except for storage within flood plains. Any spills, leaks or releases of such materials shall be addressed in accordance with Section 107.16(b). Accumulated rain water may also be pumped out of the impoundment
area into approved dewatering devices.

106.09—Handling Materials
Materials shall be handled in a manner that will preserve their quality, integrity and fitness for the
work. Aggregates shall be transported in vehicles constructed to prevent loss or segregation of materials.

106.10—Unacceptable Materials
Materials that do not conform to the requirements of the Specifications shall be considered unacceptable. Such materials, whether in place or not, will be rejected and shall be removed from the site of
63

106.10
the work. If it is not practical for the Contractor to remove rejected material immediately, the Engineer will mark the material for identification. Rejected material whose defects have been corrected
shall not be used until approval has been given by the Engineer.

106.11—Material Furnished by the Department
The Contractor shall furnish all materials required to complete the work except those specified to be
furnished by the Department.
Material furnished by the Department will be delivered or made available to the Contractor at the
points specified in the Contract. The cost of handling and placing materials after delivery to the Contractor shall be included in the contract price for the item with which they are used.
After receipt of the materials, the Contractor shall be responsible for material delivered to him, including shortages, deficiencies, and damages that occur after delivery, and any demurrage charges.

106.12—Critical Materials
Raw, manufactured materials or supplies that are necessary for the fabrication, construction, installation or completion of any item of work that is, or becomes, in extremely short supply regionally or nationally as substantiated by recognized public reports such as news media, trade association journals,
etc. due to catastrophic events of nature, needs of national defense or industrial conditions beyond the
control of the Department or Contractor, will be declared Critical by the Department.
When the supply of materials becomes critical, the provisions of this Section will become applicable
to the Contract.
When all items of work involving noncritical materials have been completed by the Contractor or
have progressed to a point where no further work is practicable prior to receipt of critical materials, a
complete suspension of work will be granted by the Department. Requests for partial suspension orders because of delays attributable to nonreceipt of critical materials will be considered on the basis of
merit in each case.
The Department reserves the right to substitute materials by means of a work order.
Contractors, via their manufacturers or suppliers, that request relief due to critical shortage of materials as specified in this Section shall immediately supply information concerning the product and other
supporting data to permit the Department an opportunity to access possible alternatives or methods to
avoid undue delay or expenditure.

In carrying out any of the provisions of these Specifications or in exercising any power or authority
granted to them by or within the scope of the Contract, there shall be no liability upon the Board,
Commissioner, Engineer, or their authorized representatives, either personally or as officials of the
Commonwealth. In all such matters, they act solely as agents and representatives of the Commonwealth.

107.07—No Waiver of Legal Rights
The Commonwealth shall not be precluded or estopped by any measurement, estimate, or certificate
made either before or after final acceptance of the work and payment therefor from showing (1) the
true amount and character of the work performed and materials furnished by the Contractor, (2) that
any such measurement, estimate, or certificate is untrue or incorrectly made, or (3) that the work or
materials do not comply with the provisions of the Contract. The Commonwealth shall not be precluded or estopped, notwithstanding any such measurement, estimate, or certificate, and payment in accordance therewith, from recovering from the Contractor or his surety, or both, such damage as it may
sustain by reason of his failure to comply with the terms of the Contract. Neither the acceptance by
the Department or any representative of the Department nor any payment for or acceptance of the
whole or any part of the work, nor any extension of time, nor any possession taken by the Department
shall operate as a waiver of any portion of the Contract or of any power herein reserved or of any right
to damages. A waiver of any breach of the Contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.

107.08—Protecting and Restoring Property and Landscape
The Contractor shall preserve property and improvements along the boundary lines of and adjacent to
the work unless their removal or destruction is specified in the Contract Documents. The Contractor
shall use suitable precautions to prevent damage to such property.

entry prior to moving thereon. An executed copy of this permit shall be furnished to the Engineer.
69

107.08
The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage or injury to property during the prosecution of the
work resulting from any act, omission, neglect, or misconduct in the Contractor’s method of executing the work or attributable to defective work or materials. This responsibility shall not be released
until final acceptance of the project and a written release from the owner or lessee of the property is
obtained.
When direct or indirect damage is done to property by or on account of any act, omission, neglect, or
misconduct in the Contractor’s method of executing the work or in consequence of the nonexecution
thereof on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor shall restore such property to a condition similar
or equal to that existing before such damage was done by repairing, rebuilding, or restoring, as may
be directed by the Engineer, or making settlement with the property owner. The Contractor shall secure from the owner a release from any claim against the Department without additional compensation therefor. A copy of this release shall be furnished the Engineer.

107.09—Contractor’s Responsibility for Utility Property and Services
At points where the Contractor’s operations are on or adjacent to the properties of any utility, including railroads, and damage to which might result in expense, loss, or inconvenience, work shall not
commence until arrangements necessary for the protection thereof have been completed.
The Contractor shall cooperate with owners of utilities so that removal and adjustment operations may
progress in a timely, responsible, and reasonable manner, duplication of adjustment work may be reduced to a minimum, and services rendered by those parties will not be unnecessarily interrupted.
If any utility service is interrupted as a result of accidental breakage or of being exposed or unsupported, the Contractor shall promptly notify the proper authority and shall cooperate fully with the authority in the restoration of service. If utility service is interrupted, repair work shall be continuous until
service is restored. No work shall be undertaken around fire hydrants until provisions for continued
service have been approved by the local fire authority. When the Contractor’s work operations require
the disconnection of “in service” fire hydrants, the Contractor shall notify the locality’s fire department or communication center at least 24 hours prior to disconnection. In addition, the Contractor
shall notify the locality’s fire department or communications center no later than 24 hours after reconnection of such hydrants. The Contractor shall be responsible for any damage to utilities that, in the
investigation and determination of the Engineer, is found to be attributable to the Contractor’s neglect,
means or methods of performing the work.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to be in conflict with the provisions of Section 107.08.
The Contractor shall comply with all requirements of the Virginia Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act (the Miss Utility law). The Contractor shall wait a minimum of 48 hours after notifying
the Miss Utility notification center before commencing excavation work. The Contractor may commence excavation work after 48 hours only if confirmed through the Ticket Information Exchange
(TIE) System that all applicable utilities have either marked their underground line locations or reported that no lines are present in the work vicinity. The Contractor shall wait an additional 24 hours
before commencing excavation operations if any utility operators have failed to respond to the TIE
within the first 48 hours.
70

107.12

107.10—Restoration of Work Performed by Others
The Department may construct or reconstruct any utility service within the construction limits or grant
a permit for the same at any time. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any damages occasioned
thereby other than a consideration of an extension of time, unless the Contractor’s Work is damaged,
altered or impeded by the condition.
When authorized by the Engineer, the Contractor shall allow any person, firm, or corporation to make
an opening in the highway within the limits of the project upon presentation of a duly executed permit
from the Department or any municipality for sections within its corporate limits. When directed by the
Engineer, the Contractor shall satisfactorily repair portions of the work disturbed by the openings. The
work for such repairs as authorized and directed by the Engineer will be paid for in accordance with
the requirements of Section 109.05 and shall be subject to the same conditions as the original work
performed.

107.11—Use of Explosives
Explosives shall be stored and used in a secure manner in compliance with federal, state, and local
laws and ordinances. Prior to prosecuting the work, the Contractor shall conduct an on-site review of
the work involved and develop a plan of operations for performing excavation work. Where feasible,
the Contractor shall explore other means of loosening and or reducing the size of the excavation without blasting. When blasting becomes necessary, the Contractor’s plan of operations shall include a
blasting plan detailing the blasting techniques to be used during excavation operations requiring the
use of explosives. Both plans shall be submitted to the Engineer for review prior to commencing
blasting operations.
The Contractor shall be responsible for damage resulting from the use of explosives. The Contractor
shall notify each property and utility owner having a building, structure, or other installation above or
below ground in proximity to the site of the work of his intention to use explosives. Notice shall be
given sufficiently in advance of the start of blasting operations to enable the owners to take steps to
protect their property. The review of the Contractor’s plan of operations, blasting plan and the notification of property owners shall in no way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for damage resulting from his blasting operations.

107.12—Responsibility for Damage Claims
The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the Commonwealth, the Board, and its officers,
agents, and employees, and the city, town, county, or other municipality in which the work is performed and their officers, agents, and employees, from suits, actions, or claims brought for or on account of any injuries or damages received or sustained by any person, persons, or property resulting
from or arising out of the work performed by the Contractor, or by or in consequence of any neglect
in safeguarding the work, through the use of unacceptable materials in the construction or the improvement, or resulting from any act or omission, neglect, or misconduct of the Contractor; or by or
on account of any claims or amounts recovered by infringement of any patent, trademark, or copyright. The Commissioner may retain as much of the monies due the Contractor under and by virtue of
his Contract as the Commonwealth considers necessary to ensure that a fund will be available to pay a
settlement or judgment of such suits, actions, or claims. If no monies are due, the Contractor’s surety
will be held accountable until all such claims and actions have been settled and suitable evidence to
71

107.12
that effect has been furnished the Board. Any extension of time granted the Contractor, in which to
complete the Contract shall not relieve him or his surety of this responsibility.
It is not intended by any of the provisions of any part of the Contract to establish the public or any
member thereof as a third party beneficiary hereunder, or to authorize anyone not a party to the Contract to enter into a suit for personal injuries or property damage pursuant to the terms or provisions of
the Contract.
The Contractor shall comply with all requirements, conditions, and terms of the Contract, including
but not limited to, environmental permits, commitments identified in the Contract, and applicable environmental laws and regulations. The Contractor shall not cause damage, except as allowed under the
terms of the Contract, or as allowed under applicable permits or laws, to the air, water, or other natural resources, or cause damage to adjacent or off-site property.
When any act, omission, or other action of the Contractor occurs, that violates the requirements, conditions or terms of the Contract, and affects the health, safety, or welfare of the public or natural resources, the Engineer will direct the Contractor to take prompt action to repair, replace, or restore the
damage or injury within a time frame established by the Engineer, and to comply with the requirements of Section 107.01. If the Contractor fails to make such repair, replacement, or restoration within the established time frame, the Engineer will have the damage or injury repaired, replaced, or restored and will deduct the cost of such repair, replacement, or restoration from monies due the Contractor.
If the Department determines by its own investigation that injury or damage has occurred as a result
of work performed or neglected by the Contractor, the Department may suspend the Contractor from
future bidding for a period of time commensurate with the severity of the injury or damage as determined by the Chief Engineer. Injury is defined as harm or impairment to persons or natural resources.
Damage is defined as the loss or harm resulting from injury to person or property. In addition, the Department may recover either (i) the loss or damage that the Department suffers as a result of such act,
omission or other action or (ii) any liquidated damages established in such contract plus (iii) reasonable attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, staff salaries, incidental and equipment charges associated
with any investigation.
Upon a finding against the Contractor by the Department, the Contractor shall be responsible for and
shall reimburse the Department for all expenses associated with the injury or damage. Expenses include, but are not limited to: costs for investigating the act, omission or other action, financial penalties incurred by the Department as a result of the injury or damage, salary and expenses incurred by
employees or consultants of the Commonwealth, road user expenses as determined by the Department
due to damage or loss of use of the project area, attorney fees, and expert witness fees. The Department may deduct the reimbursement of expenses from any payments owed the Contractor.
Upon determination by the Department of willful, flagrant or repetitious acts, omissions or other actions related to injury or damage to person or property, the Contractor shall be responsible for and
shall reimburse the Department for all expenses associated with the investigation as shown herein,
and the Department will impose other appropriate actions, as permitted by law, policy and Specifications, such as but not limited to, suspension of work, termination for cause, removal from the bidders’
list.
Once a determination is made that injury or damage has resulted in an action against the Contractor,
the Contractor shall have the right of appeal in accordance with the provisions and requirements of
Section 105.19.

The Department will furnish, upon request, a list of certified MBEs. This list shall not be construed as
an endorsement of the quality or performance of the business, but is simply a listing of firms who are
certified by the Department as being MBEs.
The Contractor is encouraged to use the services of banks owned or controlled by minorities or females; however, use of such services will not be credited toward participation achievement for the
Contract. The Department has on file, and will make available on request, the names and addresses of
known minority and female owned banks in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
78

107.15
The Contractor shall designate and make known to the Department a liaison officer who is assigned
the responsibility of actively and effectively administering, encouraging and promoting a responsive
program for the use of MBEs.
The performance of the Contract for the purpose of this specification shall be interpreted to include,
but not necessarily be limited to, subcontracting; furnishing materials, supplies, and services; and,
leasing equipment.
If the Contractor intends to sublet a portion of the work on the project, the Contractor is encouraged to
seek out and consider MBEs as potential subcontractors. The Contractor is encouraged to contact
MBEs to solicit their interest, capability, and prices and shall retain on file the proper documentation
to substantiate such contacts.
By signing the bid, the bidder certifies to the following:
•

That on the work proposed to be sublet and shown on the form for Contractors Proposal to
Sublet, the bidder has taken reasonable steps to seek out and consider MBEs as potential

these Specifications.
Reference is made in various subsections of this section to Tidewater, Virginia. For the purposes of
identifying the affected regions assigned to this designation and the requirements therein Tidewater,
Virginia is defined as the Counties of Accomack, Arlington, Caroline, Charles City, Chesterfield, Essex, Fairfax, Gloucester, Hanover, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, King George, King and Queen,
King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northampton, Northumberland, Prince
George, Prince William, Richmond, Spotsylvania, Stafford, Surry, Westmoreland and York and the
Cities of Alexandria, Chesapeake, Colonial Heights, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Hampton,
Hopewell, Newport News, Norfolk, Petersburg, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Richmond, Suffolk, Virginia
Beach and Williamsburg.
(a) Erosion and Siltation: The Contractor shall exercise every reasonable precaution, including temporary and permanent soil stabilization measures, throughout the duration of the
project to control erosion and prevent siltation of adjacent lands, rivers, streams, wetlands,
lakes, and impoundments. Soil stabilization and/or erosion control measures shall be applied to erodible soil or ground materials exposed by any activity associated with construction, including clearing, grubbing, and grading, but not limited to local or on-site sources of
materials, stockpiles, disposal areas and haul roads.
The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of Sections 301.02 and 303.03. Should
the Contractor as a result of negligence or noncompliance leave an area exposed more than
15 days, the cost of temporary soil stabilization in accordance with the provisions of Section
303 shall be at the Contractor’s expense. If the delay in stabilizing an exposed area of land
is due to circumstances beyond the Contractor’s control, the Department will be responsible
for the expense.

erosion and sediment control. Permanent erosion control measures and drainage facilities
shall be installed as the work progresses.
81

107.16
For projects that disturb 10,000 square feet or greater of land or 2,500 square feet or greater
in Tidewater, Virginia, the Contractor shall have within the limits of the project during land
disturbance activities, an employee certified by the Department in Erosion and Sediment
control who shall inspect erosion and siltation control devices and measures for proper installation and operation immediately after each rainfall, at least daily during periods of prolonged rainfall, and weekly when no rainfall event occurs and promptly report their findings
to the Inspector. Failure of the Contractor to maintain a certified employee within the limits
of the project will result in the Engineer suspending work related to any land disturbing activity until such time as a certified employee is present on the project. Failure on the part of
the Contractor to maintain appropriate erosion and siltation control devices in a functioning
condition may result in the Engineer notifying the Contractor in writing of specific deficiencies. Deficiencies shall be corrected immediately. If the Contractor fails to correct or take
appropriate actions to correct the specified deficiencies within 24 hours after receipt of such
notification, the Department may do one or more of the following: require the Contractor to
suspend work in other areas and concentrate efforts towards correcting the specified deficiencies, withhold payment of monthly progress estimates, or proceed to correct the specified deficiencies and deduct the entire cost of such work from monies due the Contractor.
Failure on the part of the Contractor to maintain a Department certified erosion and sediment control employee within the project limits when land disturbance activities are being
performed will result in the Engineer suspending work related to any land disturbance activity until such time as the Contractor is in compliance with this requirement.
(b) Pollution:
1. Water: The Contractor shall exercise every reasonable precaution throughout the duration of the project to prevent pollution of rivers, streams, and impoundments. Pollutants such as, but not limited to, chemicals, fuels, lubricants, bitumens, raw sewage,
paints, sedimentation, and other harmful material shall not be discharged into or alongside rivers, streams, or impoundments or into channels leading to them. The Contractor
shall provide the Engineer a contingency plan for reporting and immediate actions to
be taken in the event of a dump, discharge, or spill within eight hours after he has mobilized to the project site.
Construction discharge water shall be filtered to remove deleterious materials prior to
discharge into state waters. Filtering shall be accomplished by the use of a standard dewatering basin or a dewatering bag. Dewatering bags shall conform to the requirements of Section 245. During specified spawning seasons, discharges and construction
activities in spawning areas of state waters shall be restricted so as not to disturb or inhibit aquatic species that are indigenous to the waters. Neither water nor other effluence shall be discharged onto wetlands or breeding or nesting areas of migratory waterfowl. When used extensively in wetlands, heavy equipment shall be placed on mats.
Temporary construction fills and mats in wetlands and flood plains shall be constructed
of approved nonerodible materials and shall be removed by the Contractor to natural
ground when the Engineer so directs.
If the Contractor dumps, discharges, or spills any oil or chemical that reaches or has
the potential to reach a waterway, he shall immediately notify all appropriate jurisdictional state and federal agencies in accordance with the requirements of Section 107.01
and shall take immediate actions to contain, remove, and properly dispose of the oil or
chemical.
82

107.16
Excavation material shall be disposed of in approved areas above the mean high water
mark shown on the plans in a manner that will prevent the return of solid or suspended
materials to state waters. If the mark is not shown on the plans, the mean high water
mark shall be considered the elevation of the top of stream banks.
Constructing new bridge(s) and dismantling and removing existing bridge(s) shall be
accomplished in a manner that will prevent the dumping or discharge of construction
or disposable materials into rivers, streams, or impoundments.
Construction operations in rivers, streams, or impoundments shall be restricted to those
areas where identified on the plans and to those that must be entered for the construction of structures. Rivers, streams, and impoundments shall be cleared of falsework,
piling, debris, or other obstructions placed therein or caused by construction operations. Stabilization of the streambed and banks shall occur immediately upon completion of work if work is suspended for more than 15 days.
The Contractor shall prevent stream constriction that would reduce stream flows below
the minimum, as defined by the State Water Control Board, during construction operations.
If it is necessary to relocate an existing stream or drainage facility temporarily to facilitate construction, the Contractor shall design and provide temporary channels or culverts of adequate size to carry the normal flow of the stream or drainage facility. The
Contractor shall submit a temporary relocation design to the Engineer for review and
acceptance in sufficient time to allow for discussion and correction prior to beginning
the work the design covers. Costs for the temporary relocation of the stream or drainage facility shall be included in the Contract price for the related pipe or box culvert,
unless specifically provided for under another Pay Item. Stabilization of the streambed
and banks shall occur immediately upon completion of, or during the work or if the
work is suspended for more than 15 days.
Temporary bridges or other minimally invasive structures shall be used wherever the
Contractor finds it necessary to cross a stream more than twice in a 6 month period,
unless otherwise authorized by water quality permits issued by the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers, Virginia Marine Resources Commission or the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality for the Contract.
2. Air: The Contractor shall comply with the provisions of Section 107.01 and the State
Air Pollution Control Law and Rules of the State Air Pollution Control Board, including notifications required therein.
Burning shall be performed in accordance with all applicable local laws and ordinances
and under the constant surveillance of watchpersons. Care shall be taken so that the
burning of materials does not destroy or damage property or cause excessive air pollution. The Contractor shall not burn rubber tires, asphalt, used crankcase oil, or other
materials that produce dense smoke. Burning shall not be initiated when atmospheric
conditions are such that smoke will create a hazard to the motoring public or airport
operations. Provisions shall be made for flagging vehicular traffic if visibility is obstructed or impaired by smoke. At no time shall a fire be left unattended.
83

107.16
Asphalt mixing plants shall be designed, equipped, and operated so that the amount
and quality of air pollutants emitted will conform to the rules of the State Air Pollution
Control Board.
Emission standards for asbestos incorporated in the EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants apply to the demolition or renovation of any institutional, commercial, or industrial building, structure, facility, installation, or portion
thereof that contains friable asbestos or where the Contractor’s methods for such actions will produce friable asbestos.
3. Noise: The Contractor’s operations shall be performed so that exterior noise levels
measured during a noise-sensitive activity shall not exceed 80 decibels. Such noise level measurements shall be taken at a point on the perimeter of the construction limit that
is closest to the adjoining property on which a noise sensitive activity is occurring. A
noise-sensitive activity is any activity for which lowered noise levels are essential if the
activity is to serve its intended purpose and not present an unreasonable public nuisance. Such activities include, but are not limited to, those associated with residences,
hospitals, nursing homes, churches, schools, libraries, parks, and recreational areas.
The Department may monitor construction-related noise. If construction noise levels
exceed 80 decibels during noise sensitive activities, the Contractor shall take corrective
action before proceeding with operations. The Contractor shall be responsible for costs
associated with the abatement of construction noise and the delay of operations attributable to noncompliance with these requirements.
The Department may prohibit or restrict to certain portions of the project any work that
produces objectionable noise between 10 P.M. and 6 A.M. If other hours are established by local ordinance, the local ordinance shall govern.
Equipment shall in no way be altered so as to result in noise levels that are greater than
those produced by the original equipment.
When feasible, the Contractor shall establish haul routes that direct his vehicles away
from developed areas and ensure that noise from hauling operations is kept to a minimum.
These requirements shall not be applicable if the noise produced by sources other than
the Contractor’s operation at the point of reception is greater than the noise from the
Contractor’s operation at the same point.
(c) Forests: The Contractor shall take all reasonable precautions to prevent and suppress forest
fires in any area involved in construction operations or occupied by him as a result of such
operations. The Contractor shall cooperate with the proper authorities of the state and federal governments in reporting, preventing, and suppressing forest fires. Labor, tools, or equipment furnished by the Contractor upon the order of any forest official issued under authority
granted the official by law shall not be considered a part of the Contract. The Contractor
shall negotiate with the proper forest official for compensation for such labor, tools, or
equipment
(d) Archeological, Paleontological, and Rare Mineralogical Findings: In the event of the
discovery of prehistoric ruins, Indian or early settler sites, burial grounds, relics, fossils, me84

107.16
teorites, or other articles of archeological, paleontological, or rare mineralogical interest
during the prosecution of work, the Contractor shall act immediately to suspend work at the
site of the discovery and notify the Engineer. The Engineer will immediately notify the
proper state authority charged with the responsibility of investigating and evaluating such
finds. The Contractor shall cooperate and, upon the request of the Engineer, assist in protecting, mapping, and removing the findings. Labor, tools, or equipment furnished by the
Contractor for such work will be paid for in accordance with the requirements of Section
104.03. Findings shall become the property of the Commonwealth unless they are located
on federal lands, in which event they shall become the property of the U.S. government.
When such findings delay the progress or performance of the work, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer in accordance with the provisions of Sections 108.03 and Section 109.05.
(e) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
The Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is comprised of, but not limited to,
the Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan, the Stormwater Management (SWM) Plan
and related Specifications and Standards contained within all contract documents and shall

to all coverages. Conditions (3) through (12) apply only to the coverage noted
thereunder.
(1) Premium: The premium bases and rates for the hazards described in the Policy Declarations are stated therein. Premium bases and rates for hazards not
so described are those applicable in accordance with the requirements of the

with the Company’s rules, rates, rating plans, premiums, and minimum premiums applicable to this insurance. If the earned premium thus computed exceeds the estimated advance premium paid, the Company shall look to the
Contractor specified in the Policy Declarations for any such excess. If the
earned premium is less than the estimated advance premium paid, the Company shall return to the Contractor the unearned portion paid. In no event
shall payment or premium be an obligation of the named insured.
(2) Inspection: The named insured shall make available to the Company records
of information relating to the subject matter of this insurance. The Company
shall be permitted to inspect all operations in connection with the work described in Item 6 of the Policy Declarations.
(3) Limits of liability, Coverage A: The limit of bodily injury liability stated in
the Policy Declarations as applicable to “each person” is the limit of the
Company’s liability for all damages (including damages for care and loss of
services) arising out of bodily injury sustained by one person as the result of
any one occurrence. The limit of such liability stated in the Policy Declarations as applicable to “each occurrence” is (subject to the provision respecting each person) the total limit of the Company’s liability for all such damage arising out of bodily injury sustained by two or more persons as the result of any one occurrence.

107.19
property, including the loss or use of any property attributable to such injury
or destruction under Coverage B.
Under Coverage C, the limit of the Company’s liability for loss shall not exceed the actual cash value of the property, or if the loss is a part thereof, the
actual cash value of such part, at time of loss, nor what it would then cost to
repair or replace the property of such part thereof with other of like kind and
quality.
(5) Severability of interests, Coverages A and B: The term the insured is used
severally and not collectively. However, inclusion herein of more than one
insured shall not operate to increase the limits of the Company’s liability.

names and addresses of the injured and of able witnesses shall be given by or

practicable. If a claim is made or a suit is brought against the insured, he
shall immediately forward to the Company every demand, notice, summons,
or other process received by him or his representative.
(7) Assistance and cooperation of the insured, Coverages A and B: The insured shall cooperate with the Company and upon the Company’s request attend hearings and trials and assist in making settlements, securing and giving
evidence, obtaining the attendance of witnesses, and conducting suits. Except

any obligations, or incur any expense other than for first aid to others that
shall be imperative at the time of an accident.
(8) Action against Company, Coverages A and B: No action shall lie against
the Company unless as a condition precedent thereto the insured shall have
fully complied with all the terms of this policy, nor until the amount of the
insured’s obligation to pay shall have been finally determined either by judgment against the insured after actual trial or by written agreement of the insured, the claimant, and the Company. Any person or organization or the legal representative thereof who has secured such judgment or written agreement shall thereafter be entitled to recover under this policy to the extent of
the insurance afforded by this policy. No person or organization shall have
any right under this policy to join the Company as a part to any action
against the insured to determine the insured’s liability. Bankruptcy or insolvency of the insured or of the insured’s estate shall not relieve the Company
of any of its obligations hereunder.
(9) Action against Company, Coverage C: No action shall lie against the
Company unless as a condition precedent thereto there shall have been full
compliance with all the terms of this policy nor until 30 days after proof of
loss is filed and the amount of loss is determined as provided in this policy.
(10) Insured’s duties in event of loss, Coverage C: In the event of loss, the insured shall protect the property, whether or not the loss is covered by this
96

107.19
policy. Any further loss attributable to the insured’s failure to protect shall
not be recoverable under this policy. Reasonable expenses incurred in affording such protection shall be deemed incurred at the company’s request.

loss, his sworn proof of loss in such form and including such information as
the Company may reasonably require and shall, upon the Company’s request, exhibit the damaged property.
(11) Appraisal, Coverage C: If the insured and the Company fail to agree as to
the amount of loss, either may demand an appraisal of the loss within 60
days after the proof of loss is filed. In such event the insured and the Company shall each select a competent appraiser, and the appraisers shall select a
competent and disinterested umpire. An award in writing or any two shall
determine the amount of loss. The insured and the Company shall each pay
his chosen appraiser and shall bear equally the other expenses of the appraisal and umpire. The Company shall not be held to have waived any of its
rights by any act relating to appraisal.
(12) Payment of loss, Coverage C: The Company may pay for the loss in money, but there shall be no abandonment of the damaged property to the Company.
(13) No benefit to bailee coverage: The insurance afforded by this policy shall
not enure directly or indirectly to the benefit of any carrier or bailee (other
than the named insured) liable for loss to the property.
(14) Subrogation: In the event of any payment under this policy, the Company
shall be subrogated to all of the insured’s rights of recovery therefor against
any person or organization. The insured shall execute and deliver instruments and papers and do whatever else is necessary to secure such rights.
The insured shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights.
(15) Application of insurance: The insurance afforded by this policy is primary
insurance. If the insured has other primary insurance against a loss covered
by this policy, the Company shall not be liable under the policy for a greater
proportion of such loss than the applicable limit of liability stated in the Contract bears to the total applicable limit of all valid and equitable insurance
against such loss.
(16) 3-year policy: A policy period of 3 years is comprised of three consecutive
annual periods. Computation and adjustment of earned premium shall be
made at the end of each annual period. Aggregate limits of liability as stated
in this policy shall apply separately to each annual period.

Company until its consent is endorsed hereon.

the named insured, Contractor, and governmental authority at the respective
addresses shown in this policy written notice stating when such cancellation
shall be effective (not less than 30 days thereafter). The mailing of notice
shall be sufficient proof of notice. The effective date and hour of cancellation
stated in the notice shall become the end of the policy period. Delivery of
such written notice either by the named insured or the Company shall be
equivalent to mailing. If the named insured cancels, the earned premium
shall be computed in accordance with the customary short rate table and procedure. If the Company cancels, the earned premium shall be computed pro
rata. The premium may be adjusted either at the time cancellation is effected
or as soon as practicable after the cancellation becomes effective, but payment or tender of unearned premium is not a condition of cancellation.
(20) Policy Declarations: By acceptance of this policy, the named insured agrees
that such statements in the Policy Declarations as are made by him are his
agreements and representations, that his policy is issued in reliance on the
truth of such representations, and that this policy embodies all agreements

file the required insurance policies promptly, an extension of time will not be granted.
(e) Beginning Construction: Preliminary contingent work or other work by the railway company may delay the starting or continuous prosecution of the work by the Contractor. The
Contractor shall be satisfied as to the probable extent of such work and its effect on the operations prior to submitting a bid for the work. The Commonwealth will not be responsible

The Department will obtain a permit from the U.S. Coast Guard for the anticipated construction
and/or demolition activities of structures on Department projects that cross a waterway(s) under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard. As the permit holder, the Department must apply to the U.S.
Coast Guard for approval of permit modifications to the original Department permit that the Contractor requests.
Prior to starting demolition or construction operations the Contractor shall meet with the Engineer and
the U.S. Coast Guard (U.S. Coast Guard Coordination Meeting) to present its planned operations and
the potential impacts those operations may pose to water traffic. As part of this meeting, the parties
shall establish in writing the proper protocol for emergency closures and be governed accordingly.
(a) Activities subject to Coast Guard regulation under the Permit. Following the U.S.
Coast Guard Coordination meeting, the Contractor shall submit its proposed schedule of operations in writing to the Engineer. The Engineer shall review and provide written comments, if applicable, to the Contractor within 7 calendar days following receipt of the Contractor’s schedule of operations. The Contractor shall incorporate the Engineer’s comments
and submit its notice of scheduled operations to the Engineer and to the U.S. Coast Guard at
least 30 days prior to commencement of any permitted construction or demolition operations. U.S. Coast Guard acceptance of the Contractor’s written schedule of operations is a
condition precedent to the Contractor’s commencement of those operations.
99

107.20
(b) Activities that require channel closures or restrictions. In addition to the submittal of its
proposed schedule of operations as described in (a) above, Contractor shall submit plans
that comply with the Permit for falsework, cofferdams, floating equipment and other obstructions to the channel or channels to the Engineer. The Contractor’s attention is directed
to the possibility that advance notification for consideration of approval may vary depending on the type and duration of proposed closures, the time of year for requested closure(s),
and location of existing bridge(s) and waterway(s) involved, and the impact to entities
served along or through the waterway(s). The Engineer shall review and provide written
comments, if applicable, to the Contractor within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt
of the Contractor’s plans. The Contractor shall incorporate the Engineer’s comments and
submit its plans to the Engineer and to the U.S. Coast Guard at least 30 days prior to commencement of any permitted construction or demolition operations. The Contractor may not
commence activities that require channel closures or restrictions without the prior written
approval of the Department and the U.S. Coast Guard. The Contractor shall be responsible
for complying with all operational requirements that the U.S. Coast Guard may place on the
Contractor as conditions of approval.
In addition, the Contractor shall request and obtain Department and U.S. Coast Guard approval in writing before commencing any operations that deviate from the Contractor’s
schedule of operations when these operations interfere or have the potential to interfere with
navigation of water traffic outside of timeframes previously approved by the Department
and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Notices shall be sent to the U.S. Coast Guard, Fifth District Bridge Office (OBR), 431 Crawford
Street, Portsmouth, VA 23704-5004. Payment of any penalty or fine that may be levied by the U.S.
Coast Guard for Contractor violations of bridge regulations found in 33 CFR Parts 115, 116, 117 and
118 shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Further, any delay to the contract as a result of actions or inaction by the Contractor relative to the requirements herein that are determined by the Department to be the fault of the Contractor will not be compensable.
The cost to comply with the requirements of this provision and to provide and maintain temporary
navigation lights, signals and other temporary work associated with the structure(s) under this contract
required by the U.S. Coast Guard for the protection of navigation during construction or demolition
operations shall be included in price bid for other appropriate items.

(c) Furnishing Items in Component Parts of Sections: If the size or weight of fabricated or
manufactured items together with that of the hauling or moving vehicle exceeds the limitations covered by hauling permit policies and other means of transportation are not available,
permission will be given to furnish the items in component parts of sections with adequately
designed splices or connections at appropriate points. Permission for such adjustments shall
be requested in writing, and approval in writing shall be secured from the Department prior
to fabrication or manufacture of the items. The request shall state the reasons for adjustment
and shall be accompanied by supporting data, including working drawings where necessary.

Prior to preparing the schedule, the Engineer or the Contractor may request a meeting to discuss any
project specific items required for preparation of the progress schedule. The Contractor shall prepare
and submit a practicable schedule to reflect a logical progress of the work. The progress schedule
shall represent the Contractor’s overall work plan to accomplish the work in accordance with the requirements herein and those of the Contract as detailed in the Contract documents. It shall include all
time-based tasks required for timely completion of the work, including as applicable the work to be
performed by sub-contractors, suppliers, the Department, and/or others. When preparing the schedule,
the Contractor shall consider all applicable constraints and restrictions such as seasonal, weather,
traffic, utility, railroad, right-of-way, environmental, permits, and other limitations to the work.
(a) Progress Schedule Requirements:
1. Baseline Progress Schedule – The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer his Baseline Progress Schedule at least 7 calendar days prior to beginning work. The Baseline
Progress Schedule submittal shall include three (3) sets of a written Progress Schedule
Narrative and, where applicable, a Progress Earnings Schedule as defined below:
a)

Progress Schedule Narrative: The Progress Schedule Narrative shall consist of
the following information, as applicable:
i.

A description of the Contractor’s overall plan of operations including the
planned procedures and crew(s) required to accomplish each major operation;
102

108.03
ii.

A Tabular Schedule to establish milestone(s) for completing each phase, feature, or stage of work as specified by contract or, where not specified by the
contract, as determined by the Contractor. The schedule shall also indicate
the planned sequence and start/finish dates for all time-based tasks required
to complete each milestone;

iii. A discussion on the working calendar with considerations for applicable constraints or restrictions; (i.e. normal weather, traffic, holidays, time of year,
utility, etc.);
iv. A description of any potential issues that may impact the schedule.
b)

Progress Earnings Schedule: Progress Earnings Schedule will not be required for
projects with a contract duration of sixty (60) calendar days or less. The Progress
Earnings Schedule shall be prepared on forms furnished by the Department to indicate the anticipated earnings for each payment period as of the Contractor’s
payment cut-off date as determined in accordance with Section 109.08. Progress
earnings shall be based on the total contract value. Total contract value will be
considered to mean the original amount of the contract including any authorized
adjustments in accordance with, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 104
and 109.05. Payments for stored or stockpiled material in accordance with Section
109.09 of the Specifications will not be considered in the earnings schedule.

2. Revised Progress Schedule:
The Contractor shall submit a Revised Progress Schedule as determined and requested
by the Engineer, if prosecution of the work deviates significantly from the phasing,
general sequence, or the proposed means and methods as represented on the Schedule
of Record (SOR). The Contractor will also be required to submit a Revised Progress
Schedule to reflect any impacts to the schedule for changes authorized by the Engineer
including, but not limited to changes in the work in accordance with the requirements
of Section 104 and Section 109.05 of the Specifications.
The Contractor shall submit the Revised Progress Schedule within 10 calendar days of
the date of the Engineer’s written request. The Revised Progress Schedule shall be in
the form of a Revised Baseline Progress Schedule which shall reflect the actual progress of accomplished work (actual work to date), any impact of a change authorized by
the Engineer, and the proposed time based plan for completing the remaining work.
Upon acceptance by the Engineer, the latest Revised Progress Schedule shall replace
the previously accepted Baseline or Revised Progress Schedule.
3. Failure to Furnish Progress Schedules – Work shall not commence until the Contractor submits his Baseline Progress Schedule in accordance with the requirements of
this section, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.
Delays in work resulting from the Contractor’s failure to provide the progress schedule
will not be considered just cause for extension of the contract time limit or for additional compensation.
(b) Review and Acceptance
103

108.03
The Engineer will review all progress schedule submittals within 7 calendar days of receipt
of the Contractor’s complete submittal. Review and acceptance by the Engineer will be
based on completeness and conformance with the requirements of this section, the Contract
and the Specifications. If the Contractor’s Progress Schedule is deemed to be unacceptable,
the Engineer will issue a written notification for resubmission describing the deficiencies in
completeness or conformance prompting the Engineer’s decision.
Upon acceptance, the Engineer will issue a written notice of acceptance that may include
comments or concerns on the schedule. The Contractor shall respond within 7 calendar days
of receipt of the Engineer’s comments, concerns or written notification for resubmission.
Upon acceptance, the latest Baseline Progress Schedule or Revised Progress Schedule shall
become the Schedule of Record (SOR). The SOR is defined as the currently accepted progress schedule by which all schedule references will be made and progress evaluated.
Review and acceptance by the Engineer will not constitute a waiver of any contract requirements and will in no way assign responsibilities of the work plan, scheduling assumptions,
and validity of the schedule to the Department. Failure of the Contractor to include in the
Progress Schedule any element of work required for timely completion of the project shall
not excuse the Contractor from completing the entire scope of work within the Contract
specified completion milestone(s).
(c) Monitoring the Work and Assessing Progress
1. Monitoring the Work– The Engineer will monitor the work regularly to identify any
deviations from the Contractor’s scheduled performance relative to the currently accepted Baseline or Revised Progress Schedule. The Engineer may request a meeting
with the Contractor to discuss the Contractor’s current progress or to establish the approximate date for starting each critical inspection stage during the following 30 days.
At least once a week, the Contractor shall advise the Engineer of the approximate timing for anticipated critical stages for the subsequent week. The Engineer shall be advised at least 24 hours in advance of any changes in the Contractor’s planned operations or critical stage work requiring Department inspection.
2. Progress Evaluation– The Engineer will evaluate the Contractor’s progress monthly
relative to the currently accepted Baseline or Revised Progress Schedule. The Contractor’s actual progress may be considered unsatisfactory if:
a)

The cumulative actual earnings for work completed is 10 or more percentage
points behind the cumulative earnings for work scheduled; or

b)

Any interim milestone is later than the scheduled milestone by more than 7 calendar days or the projected project completion date is later than the contract completion date by the least of 14 calendar days or 10 percent of the remaining contract
time.

(d) Progress Deficiency and Schedule Slippage: When the Contractor’s actual progress is
deemed to be unsatisfactory, the Engineer will issue a written notice of unsatisfactory performance to indicate that further actions may be taken as defined in Sections 102.01 and
109.08.of the Specifications, if progress remains unsatisfactory at the time of preparation of
the next monthly progress estimate. Within 10 calendar days of the date of the Engineer’s
104

108.04
notice of unsatisfactory progress, the Contractor may submit to the Engineer, a recovery
plan to reflect a proposed plan to correct the progress deficiency or schedule slippage, or
submit to the Engineer a written explanation and supporting documentation to establish that
such delinquency is due to conditions beyond the Contractor’s control. Any schedule revisions resulting from a recovery plan will be reviewed in accordance with subsection (c)
herein, but shall not replace the SOR.

108.04—Determination and Extension of Contract Time Limit
The Contract time limit for completion will be determined by the Department and specified in the
Contract Documents. No request for an extension of time will be considered that is based on any
claim that the contract time limit as originally established was inadequate.
With a fixed date contract when the date of contract execution is not within 60 calendar days after the
opening of bids, or when the Contractor is unable to commence work because of any failure of the
Department, or when the Contractor is delayed because of the fault of the Department, the Contractor
will be given an extension of time based on the number of days delayed beyond the 60 calendar days.
No time extension will be allowed for a delay in the date of contract execution when the delay is the
fault of the Contractor.
The Engineer will determine if an extension of the Contract time limit for completion is warranted by
additions to the Contract. The Contractor shall inform the Department, in writing, of a request for
time extensions in his Work Order in accordance with the applicable portion(s) of Section 104 or 109.
The Contractor shall provide written supporting data for any request for extension of time due to
quantity additions and or additional or altered work.
During prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall identify the causes for any delays attributable to
conditions he deems to be beyond his control and shall identify the particular construction operations
affected, their criticality to project milestones or overall contract completion, and the significant dates
that encompass the periods of delay. The Contractor shall furnish all such information necessary for
the Department to make an adequate evaluation of any claim received from the Contractor for an extension of the contract time limit within three days of experiencing such a delay.
(a) Fixed Date: Unless otherwise indicated in the Contract, the contract time limit will be specified as a fixed date for completion. The Contractor shall take into consideration normal
conditions considered unfavorable for the prosecution of the work, and shall place sufficient
workers and equipment on the project to complete the work in accordance with the specified
contract time limit.
The Engineer may give consideration for extension of time when a delay occurs due to unforeseen causes beyond the control of or without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.
However, consideration will not be given to extensions of time attributable to normal
weather conditions or conditions resulting from normal weather.
For the purposes of this Section normal weather is defined as that which is not considered
extraordinary or catastrophic and is not reasonably conducive to the Contractor progressively prosecuting critical path work under the Contract. Weather events considered extraordinary or catastrophic include, but are not limited to tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, and
floods that exceed a 25-year storm event as defined by National Oceanic and Atmospheric
105

108.04
Administration (NOAA) for the NOAA data gathering location that is nearest the project
site.
If there is a delay in the progress of the work due to unforeseen causes described within
these Specifications, and the delay extends the contract time limit into the period between
November 30 of one year and April 1 of the following year and working conditions during
such period are unsuitable for the continuous prosecution or completion of the work, then
consideration may only be given to granting an extension of time that will encompass a suitable period during which such work can be expeditiously and acceptably performed.

108.05—Suspension of Work Ordered by the Engineer
If the performance of all or any portion of the work is suspended or delayed by the Engineer in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the Contractor believes that additional compensation and/or contract time is
due as a result of such suspension or delay, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in writing a request for adjustment within seven calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request
shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.
Upon receipt, the Engineer will review the Contractor’s documentation and evaluate the Contractor’s
request. If the Engineer agrees that the cost and/or time required for the performance of the contract
has increased as a result of such suspension and the suspension was caused by conditions beyond the
control of and not the fault of the Contractor, his suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and
was not caused by normal weather, the Engineer will make an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The Engineer will notify the Contractor of the determination
regarding whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.
No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the Contractor has submitted the request for adjustment
within the time prescribed.
No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause to the extent that performance would have
been suspended or delayed by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided for or excluded
under any other term or condition of the contract.

108.06—Failure To Complete on Time
(a) General
For each calendar day that any work remains incomplete after the contract time limit specified for the completion of the work, the Department will assess liquidated damages against
the Contractor. Liquidated damages will be assessed at the rate applicable to the Contract in
accordance with the Schedule of Liquidated Damages, Table I-1, or as otherwise specified
in the contract provisions. Liquidated damages will be deducted from any monies due the
Contractor for each calendar day of additional time consumed until final completion and acceptance of the work, subject to such adjustments as provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 108.04, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages.. The Contractor
waives any defense as to the validity of any liquidated damages stated in the Contract, the
Contract Documents, or these Specifications and assessed by the Department against the
106

108.07
Contractor on the grounds that such liquidated damages are void as penalties or are not reasonably related to actual damages.
(b) Liquidated Damages.
The following Schedule of Liquidated Damages, representing the cost of administration, engineering, supervision, inspection and other expenses, will be charged against the Contractor for each calendar day beyond the fixed contract time that the Contract remains in an incomplete state:

TABLE I-1

108.07—Default of Contract
The Contractor may be declared in default if he does any one of the following:
(a) fails to begin the work under the Contract within 15 calendar days of the date of contract
execution except as otherwise permitted by specific contract language or the provisions of
Section 108.02.
(b) fails to perform the work with sufficient workers and equipment or with sufficient materials
to ensure prompt completion of the work
(c) performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or perform anew
work that is unacceptable
(d) discontinues prosecution of the work
(e) fails to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice to do
so
(f)

becomes insolvent, is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency

(g) allows any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a period of 10 days
(h) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(i)

fails for any other cause whatsoever to carry on the work or contractual obligations in an acceptable manner
107

108.07
If any of these conditions exists, the Engineer will give notice in writing to the Contractor and his surety of the delay, neglect, or default. If within 10 days after the date of such notice the Contractor or
his surety has not taken measures that will, in the judgment of the Chief Engineer, ensure satisfactory
progress of the work or give assurances satisfactory to the Engineer that the provisions of the Contract
will be fully carried out and instructions complied with, the Commissioner may then, or at any time
thereafter, declare the Contractor in default. Without violating the Contract, the Commissioner may
call upon the Contractor’s surety for the satisfactory and expeditious completion of all work under the
Contract or may otherwise terminate the Contract in accordance with the provisions of Section
108.08.
If the Contractor is declared in default, subsequent payments will be made to the surety and further
negotiations will be conducted with the surety.
If the Contractor’s surety fails or refuses to proceed with the work in accordance with the instructions
of the Commissioner, the Commissioner will appropriate and use any or all materials and equipment
on the project site that are suitable and acceptable and will enter into an agreement with others for the
completion of the work, or he will use such other methods as he deems necessary to ensure the completion of the work.
Costs and charges incurred by the Department, including the cost of completing the work under the
Contract, will be deducted from any monies due or that will become due the Contractor and his surety. If the expense incurred by the Department is less than the sum that would have been payable under
the Contract had the work been completed by the Contractor, the Contractor and his surety will be entitled to receive the difference. If the expense exceeds the sum that would have been payable under
the Contract, the Contractor and his surety shall be liable for and shall pay to the Commonwealth the
amount of the excess.

108.08—Termination of Contract
(a) Conditions for Termination: The Department may terminate the Contract or any portion
thereof because of any of the following conditions:
1. default
2. national emergency
3. action by the Commonwealth, U.S. government, or court order, or
4. conditions beyond the control of the Department
(b) Provisions of Termination: Termination will be in accordance with the following:
1. Disturbed areas shall be promptly placed in an acceptable condition as directed by the
Engineer. Payment for such work will be made at the contract unit prices or, in the absence of contract unit prices, in accordance with the requirements of Section 104.03.
2. Payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the
contract unit price, or as mutually agreed, for items of work partially completed. No
claim for loss of anticipated profits will be considered, and the provisions of Section
104.02 will not apply.
108

108.09
3. Reimbursement for organizing the work when not specified in the Contract and moving equipment to and from the job will be considered where the volume of work completed is too small to compensate the Contractor for these expenses under the contract
unit prices.
4. At the option of the Engineer, materials the Contractor obtains for the work that have
been inspected, tested, and accepted by the Engineer and that have not been incorporated in the work may be purchased from the Contractor at actual costs as shown by receipted bills, purchase orders, bills of lading or other similar actual cost records at such
points of delivery as may be designated by the Engineer.
5. The termination of the Contract or a portion thereof shall not relieve the Contractor of
his responsibilities for the completed work, nor shall it relieve his surety of its obligation for and concerning any just claims arising out of the work performed or remaining
to be performed.

108.09—Acceptance
(a) Contractor’s Responsibility for Work: Until final acceptance of the work by the Engineer
in accordance with the requirements of this Section, the Contractor shall have charge and
care thereof and shall take every precaution against damage to any part thereof by action of
the elements or from any other cause. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore, and make
good on damage to any portion of the work occasioned by any of the foregoing causes before final acceptance and shall bear the expense thereof. The Department may reimburse the
Contractor for repair of damage to work attributable to unforeseeable causes beyond the
control of and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as determined by the Engineer.
In case of suspension of work, the Contractor shall be responsible for the project and shall
take such precautions as may be necessary to prevent damage to the work, provide for erosion control and drainage, and erect any necessary temporary structures, signs, or other facilities as determined by the Engineer. During the suspension of work, the Contractor shall
properly and continuously maintain in an acceptable growing condition all living material in
newly established plantings, seedings, and soddings furnished under the Contract and shall
take adequate precautions to protect new tree growth and other important vegetation against
damage.
(b) Partial Acceptance: If at any time during the prosecution of the project the Contractor
completes a unit or portion of the project, such as a structure, an interchange, slopes, pavement, or a section of a roadway in its entirety, he may ask the Engineer to make final inspection of such work. If the Engineer finds upon inspection that the work conforms to the
requirements of the Contract and that acceptance is in the best interest of the public, he may
accept the work as being completed, and the Contractor will be relieved of further responsibility for the work. Partial acceptance shall in no way void or alter any terms of the Contract.
If any damage is sustained by an accepted unit or portion of the project attributable to
causes beyond the control of the Contractor, the Engineer may authorize the Contractor to
make the necessary repairs. These repairs will be paid for at the contract price for the items
109

108.09
requiring repair. In the absence of contract prices covering the items of repair, the work will
be paid for in accordance with the requirements of Section 109.05.
(c) Final Acceptance: Upon receipt of a written notice from the Contractor of presumptive
completion of the entire project, the Engineer will make an inspection. If all work specified
in the Contract has been completed, the inspection will constitute the final inspection and
the Engineer will make the final acceptance. The Contractor will be notified in writing, of
the determination of final acceptance within five days of the date of the Engineer’s final acceptance..
If the Engineer’s inspection discloses that any work, in whole or in part, is incomplete or
unacceptable, the Contractor shall immediately correct the deficiency. A written list of deficiencies will be provided to the Contractor by the Engineer. Upon completion or correction
of the work, another inspection will be made of the deficient work. If the work is then satisfactory, the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing within five days of the Engineer’s
final acceptance. In any event, the Contractor shall be responsible for and maintain the
project until final acceptance except under conditions that may be specifically exempted by
the Specifications or specific contract language.

108.10—Termination of Contractor’s Responsibilities
The Contract will be considered complete upon final acceptance. The Contractor’s responsibility to
the work of the Contract will then cease except as set forth in his bond and the requirements of Sections 109.08 and 109.10.

SECTION 109—MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

109.01—Measurement of Quantities
Work specified in the Contract will be measured by the Engineer in accordance with U.S. Standard
Measure. The methods of measurement and computations to be used to determine quantities of material furnished and work performed will be those generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice.
Specific methods of measurement shall be as indicated in the specific section for the pay item.
Longitudinal measurements for surface area computations will be made along the surface, and transverse measurements will be the surface measure shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer. Individual areas of obstructions with a surface area of 9 square feet or less will not be deducted
from surface areas measured for payment.
Structures will be measured in accordance with the neat lines shown on the plans.
Items that are measured by the linear foot will be measured parallel to the base or foundation upon
which they are placed.
110

109.01
Allowance will not be made for surfaces placed over an area greater than that shown on the plans or
for any material moved from outside the area of the cross-section and lines shown on the plans.
When standard manufactured items are specified and are identified by weights or dimensions, such
identification will be considered nominal. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited
specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
(a) Measurement by Weight: Materials that are measured or proportioned by weight shall be
weighed on accurate scales as specified in this Section. When material is paid for on a tonnage basis, personnel performing the weighing shall be certified by the Department and
shall be bonded to the Commonwealth of Virginia in the amount of $10,000 for the faithful
observance and performance of the duties of the weighperson required herein. The bond
shall be executed on a form having the exact wording as the Weighpersons Surety Bond
Form furnished by the Department and shall be submitted to the Department prior to the
furnishing of the tonnage material. No payment will be made for materials delivered in excess of the legal load limits established for each truck.
The Contractor shall have the weighperson perform the following:
1. Post and furnish a weekly tare weight of each truck used and keep a record of them for
12 months.
2. Furnish a signed weigh ticket for each load that shows the date, truck number, load
number, plant name, size and type of material, project number, schedule or purchase
order number, and the weights specified herein.
3. Maintain sufficient documentation so that the accumulative tonnage and distribution of
each lot of material, by contract, can be readily identified.
4. Submit by the end of the next working day a summary of the number of loads and total
weights for each type of material by contract.
Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall display the truck uniform identification number and legal gross and legal net weight limits. These markings shall be no less
than 2 inches high and permanently stenciled on each side of the truck with contrasting color and located as to be clearly visible when the vehicle is positioned on the scales and observed from normal position of the weighperson at the scale house.
Trucks used to haul material shall be equipped with a cover suitable to protect the material
and to protect the traveling public.
The truck tare to be used in the weighing operation shall be the weight of the empty truck
determined with full tank(s) of fuel and the operator seated in the cab. The tare weight of
trucks shall be recorded to the nearest 20 pounds. At the option of the Contractor, a new tare
may be determined for each load. When a new tare is obtained for each load, the requirement for full tank(s) of fuel will be waived.
Net rail shipment weights may be used for pay quantities when evidenced by railroad bills
of lading. However, such weights will not be accepted for pay quantities of materials that
subsequently pass through a stationary mixing plant.
111

109.01
Scales shall conform to the requirements for accuracy and sensitivity as set forth in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook No. 44 for Specification Tolerances
and Requirements for Commercial and Weighing Devices. Scales used in the weighing of
materials paid for on a tonnage basis shall be approved and sealed in accordance with the
requirements of the policies of the Bureau of Weights and Measures of the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, or other approved agencies, at least once every six
months and upon being moved. Hopper and truck scales shall be serviced and tested by a
scale service representative at least once every six months. Hopper scales shall be checked
with a minimum 500 pounds of test weights and truck scales shall be checked with a minimum 20,000 pounds of test weights.
Copies of scale test reports shall be maintained on file at the scale location for at least 18
months, and copies of all scale service representative test reports shall be forwarded to the
Department.
The quantity of materials paid for on a tonnage basis shall be determined on scales equipped
with an automatic printer. Truck scale printers shall print the net weight and either the gross
or tare weight of each load. Hopper scale printers shall print the net weight of each load.
The weigh ticket shall also show the legal gross weight for material weighed on truck scales
and the legal net weight for material weighed on hopper scales.
If the automatic printer becomes inoperative, the weighing operation may continue for 48
hours provided satisfactory visual verification of weights can be made. The written permission of the District Materials Engineer shall be required for the operation of scales after 48
hours.
If significant discrepancies are discovered in the printed weight, the ultimate weight for
payment will be calculated on volume measurements of the materials in place and unit
weights determined by the Engineer or by other methods deemed appropriate to protect the
interests of the Commonwealth.
(b) Measurement by Cubic Yard: Material that is measured by the cubic yard, loose measurement or vehicular measurement, shall be hauled in approved vehicles and measured therein
at the point of delivery. Material measured in vehicles, except streambed gravel, will be allowed at the rate of 2/3 the volume of the vehicle. The full volume of the vehicle will be allowed for streambed gravel. Such vehicles may be of any size or type acceptable to the Engineer provided the body is of such shape that the actual contents can be readily and accurately determined. Unless all approved vehicles are of uniform capacity, each vehicle shall
bear a plainly legible identification mark indicating the specific approved capacity. Each vehicle shall be loaded to at least its water level capacity.
When approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the cubic
yard may be weighed and such weights converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight to volume measurement will be determined by the Engineer
and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before they are used.
(c) Measurement by Lump Sum: When used as an item of payment, the term lump sum will
mean full payment for completion of work described in the Contract. When a complete
structure or structural unit is specified as a pay item, the unit of measurement will be lump
sum, and shall include all necessary fittings and accessories. The quantities may be shown
on the plans for items for which lump sum is the method of measurement. If shown, the
112

109.01
quantities are approximate and are shown for estimating purposes only. Items that are to be
measured as complete units will be counted by the Inspector in the presence of a representative of the Contractor.
(d) Specific Items:
1. Concrete (Measured by Volume Measure): Concrete will be measured and computed by dividing the work into simple geometrical figures and adding their volumes.
2. Concrete (Measured by Square or Lineal Measure): Concrete will be measured and
computed by dividing the work into simple geometrical figures and adding their areas
or measuring linearly along the item’s surface .
3. Excavation, embankment, and borrow: In computing volumes of excavation, embankment, and borrow, methods having general acceptance in the engineering profession will be used. When the measurement is based on the cross-sectional area, the average end area method will be used.
4. Asphalt: Asphalt will be measured by the gallon, volumetric measurement, based on a
temperature of 60 degrees F using the following correction factors:
a.

0.00035 per degree F for petroleum oils having a specific gravity 60/60 degrees F
above 0.966

b.

0.00040 per degree F for petroleum oils having a specific gravity 60/60 degrees F
between 0.850 and 0.966

c.

0.00025 per degree F for emulsified asphalt

Unless volume correction tables are available, the following formula shall be used in computing the volume of asphalt at temperatures other than 60 degrees F:
V1=V/K(T − 60) + 1
Where:
V = volume of asphalt to be corrected;
V1 = volume of asphalt at 60 degrees F;
K = correction factor (coefficient of expansion); and
T = temperature in degrees F of asphalt to be corrected.
When asphalt is delivered by weight, the volume at 60 degrees F will be determined by dividing the net weight by the weight per gallon at 60 degrees F.
When specified in the Contract, asphalt will be measured by weight. Net certified scale
weights, or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments, will be used as
a basis of measurement, subject to correction when asphalt has been lost from the car or the
distributor, disposed of, or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When asphalt is shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights or volumes subjected to
correction for loss or foaming may be used to compute quantities.
113

109.01
Only the quantity of asphalt actually placed in the work and accepted will be considered in
determining the amount due the Contractor.
5. Timber: Timber will be measured in units of 1,000 foot-board-measure actually incorporated in the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses
and the extreme length of each piece.

109.02—Plan Quantities
When specified in the Contract, items will be measured and paid for on the basis of plan quantities.
The quantities allowed for compensation will be those shown on the plans with deductions from or
authorized additions to such quantities resulting from deviations from the plans. In the case of excavation, only excavation within the cross-section prism will be paid for on a plan quantity basis.
If the Contractor believes that any plan quantity is incorrect, he may solicit, at his own expense, the
aid of a certified Professional Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia to check the
quantity or he may ask the Department in writing to check computations of the quantity. Written requests for a quantity check by the Department shall be accompanied by calculations, drawings, or other evidence indicating why the plan quantity is believed to be in error. If any item of the Contract is
found to be in error and so verified by the Engineer, payment will be made in accordance with the
corrected plan quantity.
If the Department determines during construction that there is an error in the plan quantity, or that
conditions vary from those anticipated in the design to the extent that an actual measurement of a plan
quantity item is warranted, the Department will make such measurement and will notify the Contractor, in writing, of the rationale for adjustment. Payment will then be based on the measured quantity in
lieu of the plan quantity.

109.03—Scope of Payment
Payments to the Contractor will be made for the quantities of contract items performed in accordance
with the plans and the requirements of the Specifications. If, upon completion of the construction,
these quantities show either an increase or decrease from the quantities shown in the Contract, the
contract unit prices shall prevail and payment will be made for actual quantities performed unless they
have been modified by work orders.
Quantities appearing on the proposal are estimated quantities for the basic design shown on the plans.
With the approval of the Department, the Contractor may furnish other design(s) that may involve
changes in quantities or the use of different materials. However, payment will be made for the original
quantities listed in the Contract only and in the units of measure given in the Contract for the basic design unless the dimensions for the basic design are changed by an authorized modification by work
order to conform to field conditions encountered. In this event, modified plan quantities will be used
for pay quantities at contract unit prices for the items listed on the proposal.
The Contractor shall accept the compensation provided for in the Contract as full payment for the following:
(a) furnishing all materials, labor, tools, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete the

109.05
(b) performing all work specified in the Contract
(c) all loss or damage arising from the nature of the work or from action of the elements or any
other unforeseen difficulties that may be encountered during prosecution of the work and
until its final acceptance
(d) any infringement of patent, trademark, or copyright
(e) the completion of the work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract
If the payment clause in the Specifications relating to any unit price in the Contract requires that the
unit price cover and be considered compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, the
work or material will not be measured or paid for under any other item except as provided in Section
106.05.
The payment of any partial estimate or any retained percentage prior to final acceptance of the project
as provided for in Section 108.09 shall in no way affect the obligation of the Contractor to repair or
renew any defective parts of the construction or to be responsible for all damages attributable to such
defects.

109.04—Compensation for Altered Quantities
When the accepted quantities of work vary from the estimated quantities set forth in the Contract but
such variance is within the percentage limits set forth in Section 104.02 whether or not there have
been any changes in the plans, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as contract items
are concerned, payment at the original contract unit prices for the accepted quantities of work performed. No allowance or other adjustment except as provided for in Section 104.02 will be made for
any increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or
claimed by the Contractor resulting directly from either such alterations or unbalanced allocation
among the contract items of overhead expense on the part of the Contractor and subsequent loss of expected reimbursements therefor or from any other cause except the payment for the actual quantity
performed at the original contract unit price.
Alterations of plans or character of work involving authorized work orders as provided for in Section
104.02 will be paid for in accordance with the requirements of Section 104.02.

109.05—Extra and Force Account Work
The Department may add any new, unforeseen or unanticipated work that in the judgment of the Engineer is necessary for the satisfactory fulfillment of the Contract within its intended scope. This extra
work may be accomplished by work order if the scope is defined, or on a force account basis if the
scope is not defined. Extra work or force account work may be necessitated in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 104.02 or 104.03 as applicable. The Engineer will advise the Contractor in
writing of the necessity for such extra work at the time of discovery or determination of need. Where
possible, the Department and Contractor will each proceed to secure any information, documentation
or plans to assist in detailing the extent and character of such work, if known, in sufficient detail to
define, analyze and estimate the cost and time required to perform the work.
115

109.05

A.

Work Orders
When the Contractor believes extra work is warranted he shall promptly notify the Engineer in
writing within 2 days of such a determination. Should the Engineer agree with the Contractor’s
assessment of extra work then within 7 days or as mutually decided with the Engineer, the Contractor shall determine the extent of such work and detail in his request what additional compensation and/or time he seeks, if any, relative to his determination. The Contractor’s submittal shall
be in sufficient detail to enable the Engineer to determine the basis for entitlement. Failure on the
part of the Contractor to furnish sufficient documentation or to qualify his reason for failure to do
so will delay the determination of entitlement for such work. If such delay occurs, it will in no
way relieve the Contractor of his obligation to meet the time limits or other requirements established for the contract or constitute basis for a delay claim on the part of the Contractor.
Prior to the actual execution of a work order the Engineer will require the Contractor to provide
unit prices for the proposed work, and any requested contract time extension.
If the Contractor requests a time extension, the proposed time extension will only be considered
if the work is a controlling work item or affects the critical path for a project milestone or project
completion. Any justifiable time extension given must be included at the time the work order is
developed. For projects without a critical path method scheduling specification, the Contractor
shall include detailed information on how the controlling item of work was affected in accordance with the requirements detailed in that specification. Any time extension given on a Fixed
Date contract, including time extensions in accordance with the requirements of Section 108.04
of the Specifications, must be added to the contract by work order.
Upon receipt and review of the Contractor’s costs for the proposed work, if it is found that the
Contractor’s prices and/or the time differ considerably from the Department’s estimate, the Engineer may request the Contractor to provide support for his unit prices and/or his requested time
extension. Where the Department and the Contractor can determine and agree upon an accurate
cost and time estimation for the proposed work the Engineer will issue a bilateral work order to
authorize the work. When the Contractor and the Department cannot agree upon the cost and/or
the time estimation for the extra work after the Engineer’s analysis and subsequent discussion
with the Contractor, or where due to issues of emergency, safety, environmental damage, other
similar critical factors as determined by the Department, the Engineer will act unilaterally and issue a unilateral work order to authorize the work. The issuance of a unilateral work by the Engineer shall in no way invalidate or relinquish the Contractor’s rights under the provisions of Section 105.19.

B.

Force Account
The Department will require the Contractor to proceed with additional work on a force account
basis when neither the Department nor the Contractor can firmly establish an applicable estimate
for the cost of the work because the scope of the work is not known; that is, the level of effort required to perform and complete the work is unknown or not quantifiable at the time of discovery
or start of the extra work, and will be determined as work progresses. The rates for labor, equipment and materials to be used in cases of work performed on a force account basis will be compensated in the following manner:
(a) Labor: Unless otherwise approved, the Contractor will receive the rate of wage or scale as
set forth in his most recent payroll for each classification of laborers, forepersons, and su116

109.05
perintendent(s) who are in direct charge of the specific operation. The time allowed for payment will be the number of hours such workers are actually engaged in the work. If overtime work is authorized, payment will be at the normal overtime rate set forth in the Contractor’s most recent payroll. If workers performing the class of labor needed have not been
employed on the project, mutually agreed on rates will be established. However, the rates
shall be not less than those predetermined for the project, if applicable. An amount equal to
45 percent of the approved force account payroll will be included in the payment for labor
to cover administrative costs, profit, and benefits and/or deductions normally paid by the
Contractor.
(b) Insurance and Tax: The Contractor will receive an amount equal to 25 percent of the approved force account payroll exclusive of additives of administrative cost as full compensation for property damage and liability, workers’ compensation insurance premiums, unemployment insurance contributions, and social security taxes of force account work.
(c) Materials: The Contractor will receive the actual cost of materials accepted by the Engineer that are delivered and used for the work including taxes, transportation, and handling
charges paid by the Contractor, not including labor and equipment rentals as herein set
forth, to which 15 percent of the cost will be added for administration and profit. The Contractor shall make every reasonable effort to take advantage of trade discounts offered by
material suppliers. Any discount received shall pass through to the Department. Salvageable
temporary construction materials will be retained by the Department, or their appropriate
salvage value shall be credited to the Commonwealth, as agreed on by the Department.
(d) Equipment: The Contractor shall provide the Engineer a list of all equipment to be used in
the work. For each piece of equipment, the list shall include the serial number; date of manufacture; location from which equipment will be transported; and, for rental equipment, the
rental rate and name of the company from which it is rented. The Contractor will be paid
rental rates for pieces of machinery, equipment, and attachments necessary for prosecution
of the work that are approved for use by the Engineer. Equipment rental will be measured
by time in hours of actual time engaged in the performance of the work and necessary traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the project or source of supply and the
project. Hourly rates will not exceed 1/176 of the monthly rates of the schedule shown in
the Rental Rate Blue Book modified in accordance with the Rental Rate Blue Book rate adjustment tables that are current at the time the force account is authorized. Adjustment factors or rate modifications indicated in the Rental Rate Blue Book will not be considered
when acceptable rates are determined. Hourly rates for equipment on standby, will be at 50
percent of the rate paid for equipment performing work. Operating costs shall not be included in the standby rate. For the purposes herein “standby time” is defined as the period of
time equipment ordered to the jobsite by the Engineer is available on-site for the work but is
idle for reasons not the fault of the Contractor or normally associated with the efficient and
necessary use of that equipment in the overall operation of the work at hand.
Payment will be made for the total hours the equipment is performing work. When equipment is performing work less than 40 hours for any given week and is on standby, payment
for standby time will be allowed for up to 40 hours, minus hours performing work. Payment
will not be made for the time that equipment is on the project in excess of 24 hours prior to
its actual performance in the force account work. An amount equal to the Rental Rate Blue
Book estimated operating cost per hour will be paid for all hours the equipment is performing work. This operating cost shall be full compensation for fuel, lubricants, repairs, greas117

109.05
ing, fueling, oiling, small tools, and other incidentals. No compensation will be paid for the
use of machinery or equipment not authorized by the Engineer.
The Contractor will be paid freight cost covering the moving of equipment to and from the
specific force account operation provided such cost is supported by an invoice showing the
actual cost to the Contractor. However, such payment will be limited to transportation from
the nearest source of available equipment. If equipment is not returned to the nearest equipment storage lot but is moved to another location, the freight cost paid will not exceed the
cost of return to the nearest storage lot.
The rates for equipment not listed in the Rental Rate Blue Book schedule shall not exceed
the hourly rate being paid for such equipment by the Contractor at the time of the force account authorization. In the absence of such rates, prevailing rates being paid in the area
where the authorized work is to be performed shall be used.
If the Contractor does not possess or have readily available equipment necessary for performing the force account work and such equipment is rented from a source other than a
company that is an affiliate of the Contractor, payment will be based on actual invoice rates,
to which 15 percent of the invoice cost will be added for administrative cost and profit. If
the invoice rate does not include the furnishing of fuel, lubricants, repairs, and servicing, the
invoice rate will be converted to an hourly rate, and an amount equal to the Rental Rate
Blue Book estimated operating cost per hour will be added for each hour the equipment is
performing work.
(e) Miscellaneous: No additional allowance will be made for attachments that are common accessories for equipment as defined in the Rental Rate Blue Book, general superintendents,
timekeepers, secretaries, the use of small hand held tools or other costs for which no specific allowance is herein provided. The Contractor will receive compensation equal to the cost
of the bond, special railroad insurance premiums, and other additional costs necessary for
the specific force account work as determined by the Department. The Contractor shall supply documented evidence of such costs.
(f)

Compensation: The compensation as set forth in this Section shall be accepted by the Contractor as payment in full for work performed on a force account basis. At the end of each
day, the Contractor’s representative and the Inspector shall compare and reconcile records
of the hours of work and equipment, labor and materials used in the work as ordered on a
force account basis. Such accounting may not include actual costs or labor rates where these
are not available but shall be used to verify quantities, types of materials or labor, and number and types of equipment.
If all or a portion of the force account work is performed by an approved subcontractor, the
Contractor will be paid 10 percent of the subcontract net force account costs to cover the
Contractor’s profit and administrative cost. The amount resulting will not be subject to any
further additives. The itemized statements of costs as required below shall be submitted on a
form that separates the subcontracted portions of the force account labor, materials, and
equipment from the other force account costs.

(g) Statements: Payments will not be made for work performed on a force account basis until
the Contractor has furnished the Engineer duplicate itemized statements of the cost of such
work detailed as follows:
118

109.06
1. payroll indicating name, classification, date, daily hours, total hours, rate, and extension of each laborer, foreperson, and superintendent
2. designation, dates, daily hours, total hours, rental rate, and extension for each unit of
equipment
3. quantities of materials, prices, and extensions
4. transportation of materials
Statements shall be accompanied and supported by invoices for all materials used and transportation charges. However, if materials used on the force account work are not specifically
purchased for such work but are taken from the Contractor’s stock, then in lieu of the invoices, the Contractor shall furnish an affidavit certifying that such materials were taken
from his stock; that the quantity claimed was actually used; and that the price, transportation, and handling claimed represented his actual cost.

109.06—Common Carrier Rates
The common carrier rates and taxes thereon that are current on the date of the opening of bids shall be
considered applicable to all items subject to transportation charges thereunder. If such rates or taxes
are thereafter increased by public authority on any materials entering into and forming a part of the
Contract, an amount equal to the sum of all such increases, when evidenced by receipted common carrier bills, will be paid the Contractor by the Department. Requests for such payments shall be made
not later than 60 days after final acceptance. If after the date of the opening of bids such rates or taxes
are reduced by public authority on any materials entering into and forming a part of the Contract, an
amount equal to the sum of all such decreases, when evidenced by receipted common carrier bills,
will be deducted by the Department from the monies due the Contractor for the work performed under
the Contract.
The carrier rates for petroleum tank truck carriers, as defined in the Code of Virginia, that are in effect
on the date of the opening of bids for the project shall be considered effective for at least one year after that date. After one year from that date, the Department will pay the Contractor additional compensation equal to the cost of any carrier rate increases, subject to a maximum of eight percent of the
original carrier rate for any materials ordered, delivered, and actually incorporated into the work after
the one year period. However, the Contractor shall advise the Engineer in writing of his intent to request additional compensation attributable to carrier rate changes at the time of occurrence and shall
submit receipted carrier bills and all relative information concerning the original and current carrier
rates as they pertain to the project. If carrier rates are decreased after the one year period, the Department will deduct from monies due the Contractor an amount equal to the cost of any carrier rate decreases, subject to a maximum of eight percent of the original carrier rate, for any materials ordered,
delivered, and actually incorporated into the work, based on receipted carrier bills that shall be furnished by the Contractor. On each succeeding year of the Contract, a maximum difference of eight
percent of the original rate will be considered for increases or decreases in compensation under these
terms and conditions.
Except for the aforementioned carriers, additional compensation attributable to changes in hauling
rates of other contract carriers will not be allowed.
119

109.07

109.07—Eliminated Items
If any item in the Contract is determined to be unnecessary for the proper completion of the work contracted, the Department may, upon written notice to the Contractor, eliminate such item from the Contract. Payment will not be made for such item except that the Contractor will be compensated for the
actual cost of any work performed for the installation of such item and the net cost of materials purchased, including freight and tax costs, as evidenced by invoice. No additional compensation will be
made for overhead or anticipated profit.

109.08—Partial Payments
(a) General
Partial payments will be based on a monthly progress estimate consisting of approximate
quantities and value of work performed as determined by the Engineer. When the method of
measurement for a contract item is in units of each or lump sum, the value of work accomplished for partial payment will be determined on a pro rata basis. Partial payments will be
made once each month for the work performed in accordance with the contract requirements. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to review the monthly progress estimate prior to each partial payment. Upon final acceptance, one last monthly estimate will be
prepared and any additional payment due will be vouchered for payment.
The monthly progress estimates will be prepared in accordance with the following schedule:
1. Contractor companies whose name begins with the letter A through F: The monthly progress estimate will be prepared on the 4th day of each month, beginning on the
first 4th day following the date of the Contract execution, and on the same day of the
succeeding months as the work progresses.
2. Contractor companies whose name begins with the letter G through P: The monthly progress estimate will be prepared on the 11th day of each month, beginning on the
first 11th day following the date of the Contract execution, and on the same day of the
succeeding months as the work progresses.
3. Contractor companies whose name begins with the letter Q through Z: The monthly progress estimate will be prepared on the 20th day of each month, beginning on the
first 20th day following the date of the Contract execution, and on the same day of the
succeeding months as the work progresses.
For contracts without a payment bond, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a letter
from each materials supplier and subcontractor involved stating that the Contractor has paid
or made satisfactory arrangements for settling all bills for materials and subcontracted work
that was paid on the previous month’s progress estimate. The Department will use the
source of supply letter and approved subletting request to verify that certifications have
been received for work that was paid on the previous monthly estimate. The Contractor
shall furnish these and other certificates as are required as a prerequisite to the issuance of
payment for the current monthly estimate.
The Department may withhold the payment of any partial or final estimate voucher or any
sum(s) thereof from such vouchers if the Contractor fails to make payment promptly to all
120

109.09
persons supplying equipment, tools, or materials; for any labor he uses in the prosecution of
the contract work.
(b) Payment To Sub-Contractors
Upon Department payment of the subcontractor’s portion of the work as shown on the
monthly progress estimate and the receipt of payment by the Contractor for such work, the
Contractor shall make compensation in full to the subcontractor. For the purposes of this
Section, payment of the subcontractor’s portion of the work shall mean that payment has
been issued for that portion of the work that was identified on the monthly progress estimate
for which the subcontractor has performed service.
The Contractor shall make payment in full for the portion of the work identified on the
monthly progress estimate to the subcontractor who performed such work within seven days
of the receipt of payment from the Department in accordance with the requirements of this
Section. If the Contractor withholds any funds as part of his contract with the subcontractor
to ensure satisfactory compliance and completion and the subcontractor achieves satisfactory compliance and completion as verified by payment from the Department to the Contractor, the Contractor shall make full payment to the subcontractor within seven days.
If the Contractor fails to make payment to the subcontractor within the time frame specified
herein, the subcontractor shall notify the Engineer and the Contractor’s bonding company in
writing. The Bonding Company shall be responsible for insuring payment in accordance
with the requirements of this Section and Section 107.01.
(c) Retainage
If during the Engineer’s monthly review of the Contractor’s progress, the Engineer determines the Contractor’s progress is unsatisfactory in accordance with the provisions of Section 108.03 or other contract specific criteria, the Engineer will send a notice of unsatisfactory progress to the Contractor advising him of such a determination. In addition, this notification will also advise the Contractor that 5 percent retainage of the monthly progress estimate is being withheld and will continue to be withheld for each month the Contractor’s actual progress is determined to be unsatisfactory relative to the criteria stated herein..
When the Engineer determines that the Contractor’s progress is considered satisfactory in
accordance with these requirements, the 5 percent retainage previously withheld because of
unsatisfactory progress will be released in the next monthly progress estimate and the remaining monthly progress estimates payments will be made in full provided satisfactory
progress continues to be made.

109.09—Payment for Material on Hand
When requested in writing by the Contractor, payment allowances may be made for material secured
for use on the project. Such material payments will be for only those actual quantities identified in the
contract, approved work orders, or otherwise documented as required to complete the project and
shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(a) Structural Units: An allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for structural
steel materials for fabrication not to exceed 60 percent of the contract price may be made
121

109.09
when such material is delivered to the fabricator and has been adequately identified for exclusive use on the project. An allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for superstructure units, not to exceed 90 percent of the contract price, may be made when they
have been fabricated. Prior to the granting of such allowances, the structural steel materials
and fabricated units shall have been tested or certified and found acceptable to the Department and shall have been stored in accordance with the requirements specified herein. Allowances will be based on invoices or bills, as approved by the Engineer and will be subject
to the retainage requirements of Section 109.08.
(b) Other Materials: For reinforcing steel, aggregate, pipe, guardrail, signs and sign assemblies, and other nonperishable material, an allowance of 100 percent of the cost to the Contractor for materials, not to exceed 90 percent of the contract price, may be made when such
material is delivered and stockpiled or stored in accordance with the requirements specified
herein. Prior to the granting of such allowances, the material shall have been tested and
found acceptable to the Department. Allowances will be based on invoices or bills, as approved by the Engineer and will be subject to the retainage provisions of Section 109.08.
(c) Excluded Items: No allowance will be made for cement, seed, plants, fertilizer, and other
perishable material. and fuels, form lumber, falsework, temporary structures, or other work
that will not become an integral part of the finished construction.
(d) Storage: Material for which payment allowance is requested shall be stored in an approved
manner in areas where damage is not likely to occur. If any of the stored materials are lost
or become damaged, the Contractor shall repair or replace them. If payment allowance has
been made prior to such damage or loss, the amount so allowed or a proportionate part
thereof will be deducted from the next progress estimate payment and withheld until satisfactory repairs or replacement has been made.
When it is determined to be impractical to store materials within the limits of the project,
the Engineer may approve storage on private property or, for structural units, on the manufacturer or fabricator’s yard. Requests for payment allowance for such material shall be accompanied by a release from the owner or tenant of such property or yard agreeing to permit the removal of the materials from the property without cost to the Commonwealth.
(e) Materials Inventory: If the Contractor requests a payment allowance for properly stored
material, he shall submit a certified and itemized inventory statement to the Engineer no
earlier than five days and no later than two days prior to the progress estimate date. The
statement shall be submitted on forms furnished by the Department and shall be accompanied by invoices or other documents that will verify the material’s cost. Following the initial
submission, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a monthly-certified update of the
itemized inventory statement within the same time frame. The updated inventory statement
shall show additional materials received and stored with invoices or other documents and
shall list materials removed from storage since the last certified inventory statement, with
appropriate cost data reflecting the change in the inventory. If the Contractor fails to submit
the monthly-certified update within the specified time frame, the Engineer will deduct the
full amount of the previous statement from the progress estimate.
At the conclusion of the project, the cost of material remaining in storage for which payment allowance has been made will be deducted from the progress estimate.
122

109.10

109.10—Final Payment
When final acceptance has been duly made by the Engineer as provided for in Section 108.09 the Engineer will prepare the final statement of the quantities of the items of work performed. Thereafter,
the Contractor will be afforded 10 days in which to review the final estimate before payment. The
time may be extended by mutual agreement, and the extension added to the 90-day criteria set forth
within this Section.
Prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment.
For Contracts not requiring a payment bond, the Contractor shall certify to the Department that he has
paid or made satisfactory arrangements for settling all bills for materials, labor, equipment, supplies,
and other items entering into or used on the work and shall furnish other certificates as are required by
the Department as a prerequisite to the issuance of final payment.
Failure by the Contractor to provide required information and certifications will extend the 90-day period for final payment by the number of days equivalent to the delay attributable to the Contractor.
Upon review of the final estimate by the Contractor and approval by the Engineer, the Contractor will
be paid the entire sum due after previous payments are deducted and other amounts are retained or deducted under the provisions of the Contract. Final payment will become due within 90 calendar days
after final acceptance.
Upon written request from the Contractor, annual interest will be paid on the balance that has not been
paid due to the fault of the Department within 90 calendar days after final acceptance. The rate of interest will be the base rate on corporate loans (prime rate) at large U.S. money center commercial
banks as reported daily in The Wall Street Journal. When a split rate is published, the lower of the
two rates shall be used. The rate effective on the 91st day following final acceptance will be applicable throughout the period of time for which interest is paid. However, in no event shall the rate of interest paid exceed the rate of interest established pursuant to the Code of Virginia, as amended. The
period subject to payment of interest will begin on the 91st calendar day after final acceptance and
will extend through the date of the payment of the final estimate.
When the payment date is delayed beyond the 90-day period by the fault of the Contractor and monies
are due the Commonwealth the Contractor will be assessed annual interest on the balance due the
Commonwealth for the time delay attributable to the Contractor. The rate of interest will be determined as specified hereinbefore.
Monies resulting from the final estimate and owed to the Commonwealth will become due and payable within 30 days of receipt by the Contractor of a certified letter giving notification of the amount
owed. The Contractor will be assessed annual interest at the rate determined as specified within this
Section for any balance that remains unpaid after 37 days from receipt of the letter.
After final acceptance and prior to final payment, the Contractor may request reimbursement for additional performance and payment bond premiums, but only to the extent that the final contract amount
exceeds the original contract amount. If the Contractor requests reimbursement on such additional
bond premiums the Contractor shall submit to the Department a written request for reimbursement,
together with a notarized statement from the surety, or its agent that certifies the Contractor’s actual
bond premium rate for any increase in the amended contract amount above the original contract
amount. Such request shall also contain the Contractor’s calculation of the additional premium requested for reimbursement as verified by the surety or its agent.
123

109.10
Upon submission of such request from the Contractor, the Department will calculate the additional
bond premium payment due the Contractor by multiplying the difference between the final contract
amount, including all work orders, overruns, and adjustments, and the original contract amount, times
the percentage bond premium rate provided by the Contractor and certified by the surety or its agent.
The additional premium amount will be paid to the Contractor on the final estimate.

Division II
MATERIALS

200.03

SECTION 200—GENERAL
200.01—Description
These specifications cover general sampling and testing procedures, certifications for aggregate acceptance, and technicians and batchers for asphalt and hydraulic cement concrete.

200.02—Conformance with Specifications
Materials shall conform to these specifications in accordance with the requirements of Section 106.06.
Whenever a reference to a material is followed by a reference to a specification, the material shall
conform to the referenced specification.
Material that is required to conform to these specifications shall not be used until it has been approved
by the Engineer.
Where maximum and minimum limits are given for a characteristic of a material, material whose
specified characteristic approximates the mean value shall be furnished. The specified limits shall not
be exceeded.
When a material is fabricated of or treated with another material or when any combination of materials is assembled to form a product, the failure of any component to comply with the applicable specification shall be sufficient cause for rejection of the whole unless the combination of components will
produce a product satisfactory to the Engineer.
If the Contractor desires to substitute another material for that specified, he shall submit proof that the
substitute material is equal in all respects to the material specified. Proof shall be in the form of specifications for the proposed substitution that may be readily compared with the specifications for the
original material.

200.03—General Sampling and Testing Procedures
Materials shall be tested in accordance with the requirements of standard AASHTO, ASTM, or federal methods or methods devised by the Department as specified in the applicable specifications or as
approved by the Engineer. At the discretion of the Engineer, the Contractor may furnish a certification
of conformity from the manufacturer in lieu of testing.
The Engineer reserves the right to retest any material that has previously been tested or accepted on
certification and reject that material if it is found to be defective.
The Department has developed test methods for the evaluation of certain materials or their properties.
These test methods are identified by the prefix VTM (Virginia Test Method) followed by a number
that will identify the specific VTM to be used. Copies of the Department’s test methods may be obtained from the Department’s Materials Division.
Sampling of materials shall be performed in accordance with the standard methods of the Department.
When required, samples submitted to the Department’s laboratory shall be accompanied by an MSDS.
Failure by the Contractor to submit an MSDS will be cause for rejection of the material.
127

200.03
When a material is to be tested prior to delivery to the project, the Contractor shall furnish complete
identification of the material and its specific intended use in the proposed construction, including references to the plans or specifications calling for the material.
Material will be inspected at the original or intermediate source of supply whenever it is economically
advantageous to the Department. This inspection does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility
to furnish materials that conform to the specifications. The Department’s representative shall have
ready access to all parts of any processing plant furnishing material for a project. Access for sampling
and inspecting materials or plant equipment shall include secure, sturdy platforms conforming to local, state, and federal safety regulations.
The Department may discontinue the use of a plant laboratory for acceptance testing in the event of a
mechanical malfunction of the laboratory equipment and in cases of emergency involving plant inspection personnel. In such event, acceptance testing will be performed at the district or central office
laboratory until the malfunction or emergency has been satisfactorily corrected or resolved.

200.04—Acceptance Procedures for Aggregates
Aggregates conforming to the requirements of Section 207 (for Type I) and Section 208 will be accepted under a quality assurance program that uses statistical concepts. Aggregate materials shall conform to such requirements prior to the addition of admixtures.
Acceptance procedures for other aggregates shall be in accordance with the requirements of an approved production control plan conforming to the policies of the Department with regard to sampling
and testing. Shipments of aggregates accepted under such a production control plan shall be accompanied by the following certification:
Aggregate Certification
Aggregate shipped under this certification has been tested and conforms to VDOT’s
requirements.
Signature and Title
The certification may be printed or stamped on the delivery ticket or affixed by a gummed label thereto. The certification shall be signed by an authorized representative of the aggregate supplier and given to the Engineer upon delivery of the aggregate.
The No. 10 sieve shall be the dividing sieve for soils, select material, aggregate subbase material, and
aggregate base material. The No. 8 sieve shall be the dividing sieve for asphalt concrete aggregates.
That portion of the total aggregate retained on the sieves is defined as coarse aggregate, and that portion passing the sieves is defined as fine aggregate. Soundness tests will be performed in accordance
with the requirements of AASHTO T104 without regard to these definitions of fine and coarse aggregate. Fine and coarse aggregates for hydraulic cement concrete are distinguishable by their conformity
to the series of grading requirements specified in Section 202 and Section 203, respectively.
The term nonpolishing aggregate shall mean aggregate that the Department has determined will result
in a surface of acceptable skid resistance when it is used and exposed as part of a wearing surface.
The Department reserves the right to evaluate and determine the acceptability of polishing characteristics of aggregate proposed for use in pavement surfaces.
128

200.06
Crushed glass may be used for construction in drainage, embankment and backfilling applications, except for undercutting and foundation support for bridges, abutments, retaining walls and box culverts.
The substitution of crushed glass will be permissive and limited to applications using material of size
3/8 inch and smaller where permitted for use in the Specifications.

200.05—Handling and Storing Aggregates

207.05—Acceptance of Select Material, Type I
Sampling and testing for determination of grading and Atterberg limits shall be performed by the
Contractor. The Contractor shall provide the Department copies of test results on forms furnished by
the Department and shall maintain appropriate, current quality control charts. The Department will
perform independent monitor tests. If there is a statistically significant difference between the two sets
of results, an investigation will be made to determine the reason for the difference. If it is determined
that the material does not conform to the requirements of the Contract, the material will be rejected or
a payment adjustment will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 207.07.
Determination of grading and Atterberg limits will be based on a mean of the results of tests performed on four samples taken in a stratified random manner for each 2,000-ton lot. Lots of 4,000 tons
may be used when the normal daily production of the source from which the material is being obtained is more than 2,000 tons. If visual examination reveals that the material is obviously contaminated or segregated, the material will be rejected without additional sampling or testing. If it is necessary to determine the grading and Atterberg limits of the material in an individual location, one sample taken from the material in question will be tested and the results will be compared to the job-mix
formula with the tolerances specified in Table II–7 and Table II–8 for one test. The results obtained
will apply only to the material in question.
140

207.07
A lot will be considered acceptable for grading if the mean of the results falls within the allowed deviation from the job-mix formula and the difference between the maximum and minimum results does
not exceed the range values specified in Table II–7.
A lot will be considered acceptable for Atterberg limits if the mean of the test results is less than the
maximum allowed for the liquid limit and plasticity index values specified in Table II–8.
If the liquid limit exceeds 30 or the plasticity index exceeds 9 on any individual sample, that portion
of the lot from which the sample was taken will be considered a separate part of the lot and shall be
removed from the road.
If the Contract specifies less than 2,000 tons of material, the amount of material necessary to complete
the last lot is less than 2,000 tons (or 4,000 tons, if applicable), the job-mix formula is modified within
a lot, or a portion of the lot is rejected on the basis of individual test results, the mean results of the
tests on the samples taken will be compared to the job-mix formula with the applicable process tolerances specified in Table II–7 and Table II–8 for the number of tests performed.

207.06—Referee System for Select Material, Type I
If the test results obtained for one of the four samples or the mean of the four samples tested to evaluate a particular lot is questionable, the referee system as specified in Section 208.07 will be applied
except that the final mean results will be compared to the job-mix formula with the tolerances given
in Table II–7 and Table II–8 for the mean of eight tests.

207.07—Payment Adjustment System for Select Material, Type I
If a lot of material does not conform to the acceptance requirements stated herein, adjustment points,
determined as follows, will be applied for each 1 percent or part thereof that the grading or Atterberg
limits are outside the job-mix formula with the tolerances given in Table II–7 and Table II–8.

208.04

208.04—Job-Mix Formula
The Contractor shall submit, or shall have the source of supply submit, for the Engineer’s approval, a
job-mix formula for each mixture to be supplied for the project prior to starting work. The formula
shall be within the design range specified in Table II–9. If unsatisfactory results or other conditions
make it necessary, the Contractor shall prepare and submit a new job-mix formula for approval.

208.05—Mixing
Subbase or aggregate base materials shall be mixed in an approved central mixing plant of a pugmill
or other mechanical type. Materials shall be blended prior to or during mechanical mixing in a manner
than will ensure conformance to the specified requirements.
Preparation of subbase and aggregate base material will be subject to inspection at the plant. The Contractor shall provide a laboratory as specified in Section 106.07.
During the initial setup and subsequent production, the Contractor shall have a certified Central Mix
Aggregate Technician present at the plant.

208.06—Acceptance
The Contractor shall provide the quality assurance necessary for the Engineer to determine conformance to the required grading and Atterberg limits of subbase and aggregate base material.
Sampling and testing for determination of grading and Atterberg limits shall be performed by the
Contractor. The Contractor shall provide copies of test results to the Department on forms furnished
by the Department and shall maintain appropriate current quality control charts. The Department will
perform independent monitor tests at a laboratory of its choice. If there is a statistically significant difference between the two sets of results, an investigation will be made to determine the reason for the
difference. If it is determined that the material does not conform to the requirements of the Contract,
the material will be rejected or a payment adjustment will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 208.08.
Determination of grading and Atterberg limits will be based on a mean of the results of tests performed on four samples taken in a stratified random manner from each 2,000-ton lot. Lots of 4,000
tons may be used when the normal daily production of the source from which the material being obtained is more than 2,000 tons. Unless otherwise approved, samples shall be obtained from the approximate center of truckloads of material. Any statistically acceptable method of randomization may
be used to determine the time and location of the stratified random sample to be taken. The Department shall be advised of the method to be used prior to the beginning of production.
A lot will be considered acceptable for grading if the mean of the test results is within the deviation
from the job-mix formula specified in Table II–10.
A lot will be considered acceptable for Atterberg limits if the mean of the test results is less than the
maximum for the liquid limit and plasticity index specified in Table II–11.
If the liquid limit exceeds 30 or the plasticity index exceeds 6 for Type I base material or No. 19 subbase material; or the plasticity index exceeds 9 for Type II base material or subbase materials No. 20,
144

208.08
21, 21A, 21B, or 22 on any individual sample; that portion of the lot from which the sample was taken
will be considered a separate part of the lot and shall be removed from the road.
If either the amount of material in the lot is less than 2,000 tons (4,000 tons if applicable), the job-mix
formula is modified within a lot, or a portion of the lot is rejected on the basis of individual test results, the mean test results of the samples taken will be compared to the job-mix formula with the tolerances given in Tables II–10 and II–11 for the number of tests performed.
If a visual examination reveals that material in any load is obviously contaminated or segregated, the
load will be rejected without additional sampling or testing of the lot. If it is necessary to determine
grading or Atterberg limits of material in an individual load, one sample (taken from the load) will be
tested and the results compared to the job-mix formula with the tolerances given in Tables II–10 and
II–11 for one test. Results obtained in the testing of a specific individual load will apply only to the
load in question.

208.07—Referee System
If the test results obtained for one of the four samples taken to evaluate a particular lot are questionable, the Contractor may request that the results of the questionable sample be disregarded. The Contractor shall then perform tests on five additional samples taken from randomly selected locations in
the roadway where the lot was placed. If the Engineer determines that one of the four test results is
questionable, the Department will perform tests on five additional samples taken from randomly selected locations in the roadway where the lot was placed. The test results of the three original (unquestioned) samples will be averaged with the tests results of the five road samples, and the mean of
the test values obtained for the eight samples will be compared to the job-mix formula with the tolerances specified in Table II–10 and Table II–11 for the mean of eight tests.
If the Contractor questions the mean of the four original test results obtained for a particular lot, he
may request approval to perform additional testing of that lot. If the Contractor requests further tests,
he shall sample and test the material in accordance with procedures approved by the Engineer. If the
Engineer determines that the mean of the four original test results is questionable, the Department will
perform additional testing of that lot. The test results of the original four samples will be averaged
with the test results of the four additional samples taken from randomly selected locations in the roadway where the lot was placed, and the mean of test values obtained for the eight samples will be compared to the job-mix formula with the tolerances specified in Tables II–10 and II–11 for the mean result of eight tests.
If the mean of the test values obtained for the eight samples conforms to the requirements for the
mean of the results of eight tests, the material will be considered acceptable; if the mean does not conform, the lot will be adjusted in accordance with the payment adjustment rate specified in Section
208.08.
The provisions of this Section will not be applicable to mixtures containing cement or other admixtures that alter the characteristics of the material.

208.08—Payment Adjustment System
If a lot of material does not conform to the acceptance requirements of Section 208.06, payment adjustment points will be determined as follows:

If the total adjustment for the lot is more than 25 points, the failing material shall be removed from the
road. If the total adjustment is 25 points or less and the Contractor does not elect to remove and replace the material, the unit price for the material will be reduced by 1 percent for each adjustment
point. The adjustment will be applied to the tonnage represented by the sample(s).
The Contractor shall control the variability of his product in order to furnish a consistent, well-graded
mixture. When the quantity of any one type of material furnished for a project exceeds 4,000 tons, the
variability of the total quantity furnished will be determined on the basis of the standard deviation for
each sieve size. If the standard deviation is within the limits specified in Table II–12, the contract unit
price for the material will be adjusted as indicated hereinafter. Standard deviation computations will
not be made separately on more than two job mixtures for the same type of material.

211.04—Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
Asphalt concrete mixtures shall conform to the requirements of Table II–14 and the following:
(a) Types SM-9.0A, SM-9.0D, SM-9.0E, SM-9.5A, SM-9.5D, SM-9.5E, SM-12.5A, SM12.5D, and SM-12.5E asphalt concrete shall consist of crushed stone, crushed slag, or
crushed gravel and fine aggregate, slag or stone screenings, or a combination thereof combined with asphalt cement.
NOTE: For all surface mixes, except where otherwise noted, no more than 5 percent of the
aggregate retained on the No. 4 sieve and no more than 20 percent of the total aggregate
may be polish susceptible. At the discretion of the Engineer, SM-9.5AL or SM-12.5AL may
be specified and polish susceptible aggregates may be used (without percentage limits).
(b) Types IM-19.0A and IM-19.0D asphalt concrete shall consist of crushed stone, crushed
slag, or crushed gravel and fine aggregate, slag or stone screenings, or a combination thereof combined with asphalt cement.
NOTE: At the discretion of the Engineer, an intermediate mix may be designated as either
SM-19.0A or SM-19.0D. When designated as such, no more than 5 percent of the aggregate
retained on the No. 4 sieve may be polish susceptible. All material passing the No. 4 sieve
may be polish susceptible.
(c) Types BM-25.0A and BM-25.0D asphalt concrete shall consist of crushed stone, crushed
slag, or crushed gravel and fine aggregate, slag or stone screenings, or a combination thereof combined with asphalt cement.
(d) Type C (curb mix) asphalt concrete shall consist of a blend of No. 78 or No. 8 crushed
aggregate, No. 10 crushed aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral filler, and a stabilizing additive from the Department’s approved list found in the Materials Division’s Manual of In158

211.05
structions combined with 6.0 to 9.0 percent of PG 64–22. This mix does not require a volumetric mix design or volumetric testing under the SUPERPAVE system.
(e) Type SM-9.5, SM-12.5, IM-19.0, and BM-25.0 asphalt concrete may be designated (M)
for modified, (S) for stabilized, or (M) or (S) for Contractor’s option. Asphalt mixtures with
the E designation may be modified but shall not be stabilized.
1. Type (M) asphalt mixtures shall consist of mixes incorporating a neat asphalt material with polymer modification complying with the requirements of PG 76–22 and have
a rolling thin film oven test residue elastic recovery at 77 degrees F of a minimum 70
percent. Modified mixtures shall be designated with an (M) following the standard mix
designation. Type (M) asphalt mixtures shall not be permitted to exceed 15 percent reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material.
2. Type (S) asphalt mixtures shall consist of mixes incorporating a stabilizing additive
from the the Department’s approved list found in the Materials Division’s Manual of
Instructions. These mixes shall be designated with an (S) following the standard mix
designation. The minimum required additive shall be as specified on the Department’s
approved list found in the Materials Division’s Manual of Instructions.

211.05—Testing
The Contractor shall provide the quality control and assurance necessary for the Department to determine conformance with the required grading, asphalt content, and temperature properties for asphalt
concrete.
The Contractor shall have a Department-certified Asphalt Mix Design Technician for designing and
adjusting mixes as necessary. The Asphalt Mix Design Technician or Asphalt Plant Technician may
perform testing of asphalt mixes. The Asphalt Mix Design Technician shall be responsible for reviewing and approving the results of all testing. The Asphalt Mix Design Technician shall be available and
have direct communication with the plant for making necessary adjustments in the asphalt concrete
mixes at the mixing plant. The Asphalt Mix Design Technician and Asphalt Plant Technician shall
each be capable of conducting any tests necessary to put the plant into operation; however, the Asphalt Mix Design Technician shall be responsible for producing a mixture that complies with the requirements of these Specifications. The Department will award certification.
The Contractor shall maintain all records and test results associated with the material production and
shall maintain appropriate current quality control charts. Test results and control charts shall be available for review by the Engineer.
The Contractor shall execute a quality control plan of process inspections and tests, including the determination of SUPERPAVE properties. The results of the SUPERPAVE tests shall be used, along
with the results of other quality control efforts, to control the quality of the mixture being produced.
The Contractor shall perform at least one field SUPERPAVE test per day per mix or per 1,000 tons
per mix if more than 1,000 tons of a mix is produced per day. Aging as described in AASHTO R30
shall not be performed. In the event less than 300 tons of asphalt mixture is produced under a single
job-mix formula in a day, field SUPERPAVE testing will not be required. This tonnage shall be added
to subsequent production. When the accumulated tonnage exceeds 300 tons, minimum testing frequency shall apply. Field SUPERPAVE test results shall be plotted and displayed in control chart
159

211.05
form in the plant immediately following the completion of each individual test. The tests shall determine asphalt content, VTM, VMA, VFA, and F/A in percentages to the nearest 0.1 percent. The Department will conduct on-site inspections so the Contractor’s Asphalt Mix Design Technician can
demonstrate a knowledge of the SUPERPAVE mix design and production requirements on Department-supplied mixture.
Aggregate specific gravity and aggregate property tests shall be conducted by a Department-certified
Aggregate Properties Technician or Asphalt Mix Design Technician on each aggregate component
(including RAP) or total aggregate mixture once at design and once prior to beginning production in
each calendar year. Sand equivalent shall not be determined on RAP. In addition, for each 50,000 tons
of each aggregate size used at each plant, aggregate specific gravity and the results aggregate property
tests shall be reported for each aggregate component or the total aggregate mixture. Otherwise, if the
total blend (cold feed) is used to determine aggregate specific gravity and aggregate properties, these
tests shall be run for each 50,000 tons of the total blend.
Field SUPERPAVE tests shall be performed to Ndesign gyrations as specified in Table II–14. At the Engineer’s discretion, the Nmax. requirement may be verified

211.06—Tests
The Department may sample materials entering into the composition of the asphalt concrete, the mixture, or the completed pavement. The Contractor shall cooperate with the Engineer in obtaining these
samples. When samples are obtained from the pavement, the resulting voids shall be filled and refinished by the Contractor without additional compensation.
When asphalt cement is extracted and recovered in accordance with AASHTO T170, the recovered
asphalt cement shall have the following penetration:

Abson recovery samples that fail penetration shall be PG graded in accordance with AASHTO M320.
If the samples comply with the required grade specified in Section 211.01, they will be deemed acceptable.
When the Department performs PG grading on the asphalt in a Contractor’s liquid asphalt storage
tank, the Engineer will notify the asphalt concrete producer and binder supplier if tests indicate that
the binder properties of the asphalt material differ from those of the approved job-mix. The asphalt
concrete producer and binder supplier shall determine corrective action with the approval of the Engineer.
160

211.08

211.07—Plant Inspection
The preparation of asphalt concrete mixtures will be accepted under a quality assurance plan. The
Contractor shall provide a laboratory as specified in Section 106.07.
In addition, the Contractor shall have all laboratory scales and gyratory compactors calibrated once a
year by an independent source. The Contractor shall maintain the calibration records for 3 years.

211.08—Acceptance
Acceptance will be made under the Department’s quality assurance program, which includes the testing of production samples by the Contractor and of monitor samples by the Department. Sampling
and testing for the determination of grading, asphalt cement content, and temperature shall be performed by the Contractor, and the Department will perform independent monitor checks at a laboratory of its choosing. The Contractor shall provide copies of such test results to the Department on forms
furnished by the Department. Where the Contractor’s test results indicate that the mixture conforms to
the gradation, asphalt cement content, and mix temperature requirements of the Specifications, the
mixture will be acceptable for these properties; however, nothing herein shall be construed as waiving
the requirements of Section 106.06, Section 200.02, Section 200.03, and Section 315 or relieving the
Contractor of the obligation to furnish and install a finished functional product that conforms to the
requirements of the Contract. In the event a statistical comparative analysis of the Contractor’s test results and the Department’s monitor tests indicate a statistically significant difference in the results and
either of the results indicates that the material does not conform to the grading and asphalt cement
content requirements of the Specifications, an investigation will be made to determine the reason for
the difference. In the event it is determined from the investigation that the material does not conform
to the requirements of the Contract, price adjustments will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section 211.09.
Acceptance for gradation and asphalt cement content will be based on a mean of the results of four
tests performed on samples taken in a stratified random manner from each 2,000-ton lot (4,000-ton
lots may be used when the normal daily production of the source from which the material is being obtained is in excess of 2,000 tons). Unless otherwise approved, samples shall be obtained from the approximate center of truckloads of material. Any statistically acceptable method of randomization may
be used to determine the time and location of the stratified random sample to be taken; however, the
Department shall be advised of the method to be used prior to the beginning of production.
A lot will be considered to be acceptable for gradation and asphalt content if the mean of the test results obtained is within the tolerance allowed for the job-mix formula as specified in Table II–15.
The temperature of the mixture at the plant shall be controlled to provide load-to-load uniformity during changing weather conditions and surface temperatures. The maximum temperature of mix designations A and D and base mixes shall not exceed 350 degrees F unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. The maximum temperature as recommended by the supplier shall not be exceeded for a mix
designated E, (M), or (S).
In the event the job-mix formula is modified within a lot, the mean test results of the samples taken
will be compared to the applicable process tolerance shown in Table II–15.
Asphalt content will be measured as extractable asphalt or weight after ignition.

Field SUPERPAVE tests will be performed by the Department in accordance with the requirements of
AASHTO R35 during the production of the approved job mixes designed by the SUPERPAVE method. Aging, as described in AASHTO R30, shall not be performed. Should any field SUPERPAVE test
fail with regard to the limits specified in Table II–14, the Department may require that production be
stopped until necessary corrective action is taken by the Contractor. The Engineer will investigate and
determine the acceptability of material placed and represented by failing field SUPERPAVE test results.
Should visual examination by the Engineer reveal that the material in any load or portion of the paved
roadway is obviously contaminated or segregated, that load or portion of the paved roadway will be
rejected without additional sampling or testing of the lot. In the event it is necessary to determine the
gradation or asphalt content of the material in any load or portion of the paved roadway, samples will
be taken and tested and the results will be compared to the requirements of the approved job-mix formula. The results obtained in the testing will apply only to the material in question.

211.09—Adjustment System
In the event a lot of material does not conform to the acceptance requirements of Section 211.08, adjustment points will be determined as follows:

One adjustment will be applied for each 0.1 percent that the material is out of the process tolerance
for asphalt content.
In the event the total adjustment for a lot is greater than 25 points, the failing material shall be removed from the road. In the event the total adjustment is 25 points or less and the Contractor does not
elect to remove and replace the material, the unit price for the material will be reduced 1 percent of
the unit price bid for each adjustment point. The adjustment will be applied to the tonnage represented
by the sample(s). In the event adjustment points are applied against two successive lots, plant adjustment shall be made prior to continuing production.
The Contractor shall control the variability of his product in order to furnish a uniform mix. When the
quantity of any one type of material furnished a project exceeds 4,000 tons, the variability of the total
quantity furnished will be determined on the basis of the standard deviation for each sieve size and the
asphalt content. In the event the standard deviation is within the ranges specified in Table II–16, the
163

211.09
unit bid price for the material will be adjusted as indicated herein. Adjustments for standard deviation
computations will not be made on more than two job mixes for the same type of material.

The unit bid price will be reduced by 0.5 percent for each adjustment point applied for standard deviation.
The Engineer will determine the disposition of material having standard deviations larger than those
specified in Table II–16.

211.10—Referee System
(a) In the event the test results obtained from one of the four samples taken to evaluate a
particular lot appear to be questionable, the Contractor may request in writing that the
results of the questionable sample be disregarded, whereupon the Contractor shall have either an AASHTO-accredited lab or Department lab perform tests on five additional samples
taken from randomly selected locations in the roadway where the lot was placed. In the
event the Engineer determines that one of the four tests results appears to be questionable,
the Department will perform tests on five additional samples taken from randomly selected
locations in the roadway where the lot was placed. The test results of the three original, i.e.,
unquestioned, samples will be averaged with the test results of the five road samples, and
the mean of the test values obtained for the eight samples will be compared to the requirements for the mean of eight tests as specified in Table II–15.
(b) In the event the Contractor questions the mean of the four original test results obtained for a particular lot, the Contractor may request in writing approval to have either
an AASHTO-accredited lab or Department lab perform additional testing of that lot. In the
event the Engineer determines that the mean of the four original test results are questionable, the Department will perform additional testing of that lot. The test results of the original four samples will be averaged with the test results of the four additional samples taken
164

211.12
from randomly selected locations in the roadway where the lot was placed, and the mean of

(n) Trucks, Truck Scales, and Automatic Printer System: These shall conform to the requirements of Section 109.01.

211.13—Preparation of Mixture
The asphalt and aggregate shall be introduced into the mixer at a temperature that will produce a mixture that conforms to the requirements of the job-mix formula.
After the required amounts of aggregate and asphalt material have been introduced into the mixer, the
materials shall be mixed until a uniform coating of asphalt and a thorough distribution of the aggregate throughout the mixture are secured that comply with the requirements of the Ross count procedure in AASHTO T195. Wet mixing time, based on the procedures in AASHTO T195, shall be determined by the Contractor at the beginning of production and will be approved by the Engineer for each
individual plant or mixer and for each type of aggregate used; however, in no case shall the wet mix168

212.01
ing time be less than 20 seconds. The wet mixing time is the interval of time between the start of introduction of the asphalt material into the mixer and the opening of the discharge gate. A wet mixing
time that will result in fully coating a minimum of 95 percent of the coarse particles, based on the average of the three samples is acceptable, provided that none of the three samples result has a coating
less than 92 percent of the coarse particles shall be the minimum wet mixing time requirement. A dry
mixing time of up to 15 seconds may be required by the Engineer to accomplish the degree of aggregate distribution necessary to obtain complete and uniform coating of the aggregate with asphalt.

211.14—Storage System
In the event the Contractor elects to use a storage system, the system shall be capable of conveying
the mix from the plant to the storage bins and storing the mix without a loss in temperature, segregation, or oxidation of the mix. Storage time shall be limited by the ability of the bins to maintain the
mix within the quality requirements specified herein with a maximum time limit not to exceed 10
days. Material may be stored in bins for no more than 24 hours without an approved heating system.
The conveyor system may be a continuous or skip bucket type. Continuous type conveyors shall be
enclosed so that the mix temperature is maintained.
The storage bins shall be designed in a manner to prevent segregation of the mix during discharge
from the conveyor into the bins and shall be equipped with discharge gates that will not cause segregation of the mix while the mix is loaded into the trucks.
Approval for the use of storage bins may be withdrawn by the Engineer in the event the amount of
heat loss, segregation, or oxidation of the mix is excessive.

211.15—Initial Production
At the start of production of a mix not previously used on a state roadway, the Contractor shall place
100 to 300 tons or up to one day’s production as directed by the Engineer at an approved site, which
may be the project site, so the Engineer can examine the process control of the mixing plant, the Contractor’s placement procedures, surface appearance of the mix, compaction patterns of the Contractor’s roller(s), and correlation of the nuclear density device. The material shall be placed at the specified application rate and will be paid for at the contract unit price for the specified mix type. The Engineer will determine the disposition of material that was not successfully produced and/or placed due
to negligence in planning, production, or placement by the Contractor.

217.04
form moisture determinations and tests for slump and air content and provide necessary testing equipment.
4. Admixtures shall be added within a limit of accuracy of 3 percent and dispensed to the
mixing water by means of an approved, graduated, transparent, measuring device before they are introduced into the mixer. If a high-range water reducer is to be used, it
shall be added in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If more than
one admixture is to be used, they shall be released into the mixing water in sequence
rather than at the same instant. Once established, the sequence of dispensing admixtures shall not be altered. Admixtures shall be used in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer’s recommendations. However, when the amount of admixture required to give the specified results deviates appreciably from the manufacturer’s
recommended dosage, use of the material shall be discontinued.
(b) Mobile Production Plant: Aggregates, cement, and water shall be measured by weight or
volume. If ingredients are measured by volume, the Contractor shall furnish, at his expense,
approved scales and containers suitable for checking the calibration of the equipment’s
measuring system. The manufacturer’s recommendations shall be followed in operating the
equipment and calibrating the gages and gate openings. Mixing water shall be measured by

required load in the weighing hopper is being approached. The indicator shall indicate at
least the last 200 pounds of load. Weighing and indicating devices shall be in full view of
the operator while the hopper is charged, and the operator shall have convenient access to
all controls.
(b) Mixers and Agitators: Mixers may be stationary or truck mixers. Agitators may be truck
mixers or truck agitators. Each mixer and agitator shall have a metal plate(s) attached in a
prominent place by the manufacturer on which the following are marked: the various uses
for which the equipment is designed, capacity of the drum or container in terms of the volume of mixed concrete, and speed of rotation of the mixing drum or blades. Each stationary
mixer shall be equipped with an approved timing device that will not permit the batch to be
discharged until the specified mixing time has elapsed. Each truck mixer shall be equipped
with an approved counter by which the number of revolutions of the drum or blades may be
readily verified.
The mixer shall be capable of combining ingredients of concrete into a thoroughly mixed
and uniform mass and of discharging concrete with a satisfactory degree of uniformity.

of the unit, and cleanliness of the drum, shall be checked before use of the unit is permitted.
Upon request by the Engineer, consistency tests of individual samples at approximately the
beginning, midpoint, and end of the load shall be conducted. If consistency measurements
vary by more than 2 inches for slump between high and low values, the mixer or agitator
shall not be used until the condition is corrected.
(c) Mobile Production Plants: The Contractor may produce Class A3 general use hydraulic
cement concrete for incidental construction items from a mobile production plant. Mobile
production plants will not be permitted to produce concrete used in bridges, except overlays; box culverts; pavements, except patching; or retaining walls. If the Contractor elects to
use a mobile production plant as permitted, the equipment requirements specified hereinbefore will not apply and the concrete shall be mixed at the point of delivery by a combination
materials transport and mixer unit conforming to the following:
1. The unit shall be capable of carrying ingredients needed for concrete production in
separate compartments and of mixing ingredients at the point of delivery. The unit
shall be equipped with calibrated proportioning devices to vary mixture proportions of
185

217.05
dry ingredients and water. The unit shall be capable of changing the slump at any interval of continuous discharge of concrete.
2. The mixing mechanism shall be a part of the transportation unit carrying dry ingredients. The mixer may be any type capable of combining ingredients of concrete into a
thoroughly mixed and uniform mass and of discharging concrete with a satisfactory degree of uniformity within the specified time of mixing.
3. Each unit shall have a metal plate(s) attached in a prominent place by the manufacturer
on which the following are plainly marked: the gross volume of the transportation unit
in terms of mixed concrete, discharge speed, and weight-calibrated constant of the machine in terms of an indicator revolution counter.
4. During discharge, the consistency, determined by the slump cone method (ASTM
C143), of representative samples taken from the discharge of the mixer at random intervals shall not vary by more than 1 inch.

217.06—Classification of Concrete Mixtures

Technician present during batching operations; a Certified Concrete Field Technician shall be present
during placing operations.
A Certified Concrete Plant Technician is that person who is capable of performing adjustments to
the proportioning of materials used to produce the specified concrete should adjustments become necessary.
A Certified Concrete Batcher is that person who actually performs the batching operation. He shall
never initiate adjustment and will be permitted to implement adjustment only at the direction of the
Certified Concrete Plant Technician unless his certification has this special authorization.
A Certified Concrete Field Technician is that person who is responsible for quality control of concrete work at the project site. The Contractor shall have at least one Certified Concrete Field Technician on the project for single or multiple incidental concrete placements. The Contractor shall have at

186

217.07
Concrete shall be proportioned to secure the strength and durability required for the pavement or the
part of the structure in which it is to be used.
Prior to mixing concrete, the Contractor shall submit, or shall have his supplier submit, for approval
concrete mixture design(s) conforming to the specifications for the class of concrete specified.
The Contractor shall furnish and incorporate an approved water-reducing and retarding admixture in
bridge deck concrete and in other concrete when conditions are such that the initial set may occur prior to completion of approved finishing operations. An approved water-reducing admixture shall be
furnished and incorporated in concrete when necessary to provide the required slump without exceeding the maximum water/cement ratio and shall be used in bridge deck concrete when the requirement
for a water-reducing and retarding admixture is waived by the Engineer. The Contractor shall demonstrate that use of the admixture will not cause segregation. The two admixtures shall not be used together in the same concrete batch unless tests indicate the admixtures are compatible in accordance
with the requirements of Section 215.02(b). Costs for admixture(s) shall be included in the contract
unit price for the respective concrete item.

TABLE II–17

Requirements for Hydraulic Cement Concrete

217.07

217.08
Except for latex hydraulic cement concrete, the quantities of fine and coarse aggregates necessary to
conform to these specifications with regard to consistency and workability shall be determined by the
method described in ACI 211.2 or ACI 211.1 except that proportions shall be computed on the absolute volume basis and the 10 percent adjustment allowed in Table 5.3.6 will not be permitted. The actual quantities used, as determined by the methods described herein, shall not deviate more than ±5
percent from such quantities.
For latex hydraulic cement content, the dry weight ratio of cement/fine aggregate/coarse aggregate
shall be 1:2.5:2. A maximum adjustment of 10 percent may be made in aggregate weights, as approved by the Engineer, to compensate for grading changes and variable specific gravity.
Batch quantities shall be adjusted during the course of the work to compensate for changes in workability caused by differences in characteristics of aggregates and cements within the specification requirements. Such adjustments shall be made only by the Contractor and shall not change the yield.
If concrete cannot be obtained with the required workability or consistency or with the maximum design water content with the materials furnished, the Contractor shall make changes to secure the desired properties subject to the limiting requirements specified in Table II–17 and the approval of the
Engineer. When the void content of the fine aggregate is more than 50.5 percent and the concrete does
not have the desired properties, the Contractor shall use a fine aggregate having a void content of less
than 50.5 percent. In lieu of changing the fine aggregate, the Contractor may take one or more of the
following actions:
(a) Use an approved water-reducing admixture.
(b) Increase the cement content.
(c) Change the source of coarse aggregate.
(d) In hot weather, add ice or otherwise reduce the temperature to increase the workability.
(e) Submit other recommendations to the Engineer for approval.
However, when any of the options is exercised, the Contractor shall make trial batches under the observation of the Engineer to verify that concrete of the required workability and consistency is obtained within the specified water content. At least one trial batch shall be made with the concrete temperature at approximately 90 degrees F to verify that the concrete mixture has sufficient workability
and consistency without exceeding the specified water content. When the fineness modulus of the fine
aggregate changes more than 0.2 from the original design and the concrete does not have the desired
properties, the concrete mixture shall be redesigned. Costs incurred because of adjustments of concrete mixture design(s) and for trial batches shall be borne by the Contractor, and no additional compensation will be made.

217.08—Acceptance
(a) Air and Consistency Tests: Air and consistency tests will be performed by the Department
prior to discharge of concrete into forms to ensure that specification requirements are consistently being complied with for each class of concrete. The sample secured for the tests
will be taken after at least 2 cubic feet of concrete has been discharged from the delivery vehicle. The Contractor shall provide a receptacle conforming to the requirements of ASTM
189

217.08
C31, Section 5.9, for the Department’s use in obtaining its sample. If either determination
yields a result that is outside the allowable range for air content or consistency, the following procedures will be used:
1. The Engineer will immediately perform a recheck determination. If the results confirm
the original test results, the load will be rejected.
2. The Contractor’s representative will be immediately informed of the test results.
3. The Contractor’s representative shall notify the producer of the test results through a
pre-established means of communication.
The Engineer may perform any additional tests deemed necessary and reject all remaining

the Engineer. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the sample of binder when
requested. In the event it is determined that the binder does not comply with the requirements of the specified PG grade, production shall be stopped until further testing indicates
that the problem has been corrected.
(d) Mineral Filler: Mineral filler shall consist of finely divided mineral matter such as rock or
limestone dust or other suitable material. Hydrated lime and fly ash will not be allowed. Up
to two mineral fillers may be blended to comply with the mineral filler requirements. Mineral filler shall conform to the requirements of Section 201 with the following modifications. The mineral filler or mineral filler blend used in surface and intermediate SMA shall
have a minimum of 55 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. At the time of use, it shall be sufficiently dry to flow freely and be essentially free from agglomerations.
(e) Fiber Additive: Cellulose fiber in either loose or pelletized form shall be used. The minimum dosage rate for cellulose is 0.3 percent by weight of the total mixture. During production, the Department may require the percentage of fiber additive to be increased if visual
inspection or draindown testing on plant-produced material indicates that draindown in excess of 0.3 percent by weight of the mixture is occurring as determined in accordance with
VTM-100. Allowable tolerances of fiber dosage shall be ±10 percent of the required fiber
weight.
NOTE: When using pelletized fiber, the dosage rate shall be adjusted to comply with the
specified minimum dosage rates for cellulose fiber. Pelletized fiber consists of cellulose fiber and a binder. The specified minimum dosage rates are based on fiber content only.
Therefore, the amount of pelletized fiber added shall typically be higher than for loose fiber.
Fibers will be accepted based on the manufacturer’s certification.

Method A: Alpine Sieve Analysis. Performed using an Alpine Air Jet Sieve (Type 200 LS). A representative 5-gram sample of fiber is sieved for 14 minutes at a controlled vacuum of 22 inches (±3
inches) of water. The portion remaining on the screen is weighed.
2Method B: Mesh Screen Analysis. This test is performed using standard Nos. 20, 40, 60, 80, 100,
and 140 sieves, nylon brushes, and a shaker. A representative 10-gram sample of fiber is sieved, using a shaker and two nylon brushes on each screen. The amount retained on each sieve is weighed
and the percentage passing calculated.
3Ash Content: A representative 2- to 3-gram sample of fiber is placed in a tared crucible and heated
between 1100 and 1200 degrees F for not less than 2 hours. The crucible and ash are cooled in a
desiccator and reweighed.
4pH Test: Five grams of fiber is added to 3.5 ounces of distilled water, stirred, and allowed to set for
30 minutes. The pH is determined with a probe calibrated with a pH 7.0 buffer.
5Oil Absorption Test: Five grams of fiber is accurately weighed and suspended in an excess of mineral spirits for not less than 5 minutes to ensure total saturation. It is then placed in a screen mesh
strainer (with a hole size of approximately 0.5 square millimeter), and shaken on a wrist action
shaker for 10 minutes (approximately 1 1/4-inch motion at 20 shakes/minute). The shaken mass is
then transferred without touching to a tared container and weighed. Results are reported as the
amount (number or times its own weight) the fibers are able to absorb.
6Moisture Content*: Ten grams of fiber is weighed and placed in a 250 degree F forced air oven for
2 hours. The sample is then reweighed immediately upon removal from the oven.

248.03—Composition of SMA Mixture
The SMA mixture shall be designed and tested using a gyratory compactor and shall conform to the
requirements listed in Table II–24 and Table II–25 One percent hydrated lime will be required as an
antistripping additive. An alternative antistripping additive can be used only if permitted by the Engineer.

248.04—Acceptance
A lot will be considered acceptable for gradation and asphalt content if the mean of the test results obtained is within the tolerance allowed from the job-mix formula. The production tolerances for the
control sieves and asphalt content shall be as follows:
