needed to establish or increase a credit line with the material supplier A request for a joint check agreement may be initiated by any party. If a joint check is used, the DBE remains responsible for all elements of 49 CFR 26.55(c)(1).

Failure to comply with the above requirements disqualifies DBE participation and results in no credit and no payment to the Contractor for DBE participation.

A joint check may not be used between the Contractor or subcontractor and a DBE regular dealer, bulk material supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, broker, trucker, packager, manufacturer’s representative, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions.

2. BID OPENING
The Agency publicly opens and reads bids at the time and place shown on the Notice to Contractors.

3. BID RIGGING
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provides a toll-free hotline to report bid rigging activities. Use the hotline to report bid rigging, bidder collusion, and other fraudulent activities. The hotline number is (800) 424- 9071. The service is available 24 hours 7 days a week and is confidential and anonymous. The hotline is part of the DOT's effort to identify and investigate highway construction contract fraud and abuse and is operated under the direction of the DOT Inspector General.

4. CONTRACT AWARD
If the Agency awards the contract, the award is made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

5. CONTRACTOR LICENSE
The Contractor must be properly licensed as a contractor from contract award through Contract acceptance (23 CFR 635.110).

6. CHANGED CONDITIONS
A. Differing Site Conditions

1. During the progress of the work, if subsurface or latent physical conditions are encountered at the site differing materially from those indicated in the contract or 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 party discovering such conditions shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the specific differing conditions before the site is disturbed and before the affected work is performed.

2. Upon written notification, the engineer will investigate the conditions, and if it is determined 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 modified in writing accordingly. The engineer will notify the contractor of the determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

3. No contract adjustment which results in a benefit to the contractor will be allowed unless the contractor has provided the required written notice.

4. No contract adjustment will be allowed under this clause for any effects caused on unchanged work. [This provision may be omitted by the Local Agency, at their option.] B. Suspensions of Work Ordered by the Engineer

1. 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 7 calendar days of receipt of the notice to resume work. The request shall set forth the reasons and support for such adjustment.

2. Upon receipt, the engineer will 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, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the engineer will make Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 12-G
Required Federal-Aid Contract Language

Office Bulletin #25-07 R3
an adjustment (excluding profit) and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The contractor will be notified of the engineer's determination whether or not an adjustment of the contract is warranted.

3. No contract adjustment will be allowed unless the contractor has submitted the request for adjustment within the time prescribed.

4. 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 or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

C. Significant Changes in the Character of Work

1. 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 satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the contractor agrees to perform the work as altered.

2. If the alterations or changes in quantities significantly change the character of the work under the contract, whether such alterations or changes are in themselves significant changes to the character of the work or by affecting other work cause such other work to become significantly different in character, an adjustment, excluding anticipated profit, will 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, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair andequitable.

3. 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.

4. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances:
• 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
• When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the contract, is increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original contract quantity. Any allowance for an increase in quantity shall apply only to that portion in excess of 125 percent of original contract item quantity, or in case of a decrease below 75 percent, to the actual amount of work performed.

7. BEGINNING OF WORK, TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES The Contractor shall begin work within 15 calendar days after the issuance of the Notice to Proceed.

This work shall be diligently prosecuted to completion before the expiration of WORKING DAYS beginning on the fifteenth calendar day after the date shown on the Notice to Proceed.

The Contractor shall pay to the City/County the sum of $ per day, for each and every calendar days’ delay in finishing the work in excess of the number of working days prescribed above.

8. BUY AMERICA
[Include the Buy America provisions below when required by LAPM Chapter 12] Buy America Requirements apply to iron or steel, manufactured products, and construction materials permanently incorporated into the project.

Buy America requirements do not apply to the following:

1. Tools and construction equipment used in performing the work

2. Temporary work that is not incorporated into the finished project An article, materials, or supply to be permanently incorporated in the project should only be classified into one of the following categories:

1. Iron or steel products

2. Manufactured products
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 12-G
Required Federal-Aid Contract Language

Office Bulletin #25-07 R3

3. Construction materials

4. Excluded materials
Excluded materials means cement and cementitious materials; aggregates such as stone, sand, or gravel; or aggregate binding agents or additives.

Iron or Steel Products
All iron or steel products permanently incorporated into the project must be melted and manufactured in the United States except:

1. Foreign pig iron and processed, pelletized, and reduced iron ore may be used in the domestic production of the steel and iron materials [60 Fed Reg 15478 (03/24/1995)];

2. If the total combined cost of the materials produced outside the United States does not exceed the greater of 0.1 percent of the total contract amount or $2,500, materials produced outside the United States may be used if authorized.

Iron or steel products are defined as articles, materials, or supplies that consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both.

For a product to be considered to consist predominantly of iron or steel, or a combination of both means the cost of the iron or steel content of the product exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron or steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components.

Furnish iron or steel products to be incorporated into the work with certificates of compliance and certified mill test reports. Mill test reports must indicate where the iron or steel were melted and manufactured. All melting and manufacturing processes for these materials, including an application of a coating, must occur in the United States. Coating includes all processes that protect or enhance the value of the material to which the coating is applied.
[Delete the paragraph below if not applicable]
The following iron or steel products have received an approved Buy America waiver for this project and are therefore not subject to Buy America requirements:

1. ________________________

2. ________________________
Manufactured Products
All manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.

Manufactured products are defined as articles, materials, or supplies that have been:

1. Processed into a specific form and shape; or

2. Combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

Manufacturer, in the case of manufactured products, means the entity that performs the final manufacturing process by bringing individual elements together that produces a manufactured product.

If an item is classified as an iron or steel product, a construction material, or an excluded material, then it is not a manufactured product. However, an article, material, or supply classified as a manufactured product may include components that are iron or steel products, construction materials, or excluded materials.

Iron or steel used in precast concrete manufactured products or Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) must meet the requirements of Iron or Steel Products regardless of the amount used.

Iron and steel used in other manufactured products must meet the requirements of section Iron or Steel Products if the cost of steel and iron components is 50 percent or more of the total cost of the manufactured product.

Buy America Waiver for De Minimis Cost for Manufactured Products and Construction Materials A De Minimis Cost Waiver can waive the application of FHWA’s Buy America requirements for manufactured products and construction materials under a single project when the total value of non-compliant manufactured products and construction materials is no more that the lesser of $1,000,000 or 5 percent of the total applicable material costs for the project.

The percent threshold is calculated based on the following formula:

X = NC / TA
where:

X = percent threshold
NC = total value of non-compliant manufactured products and construction material TA = total applicable project costs (iron or steel products, manufactured products, and construction materials; does not include excluded materials)
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 12-G
Required Federal-Aid Contract Language

Office Bulletin #25-07 R3
This threshold is based on the actual cost of the iron or steel products, manufactured products, and construction materials, not the anticipated cost of those materials. Compliant and non-compliant Agency Furnished Materials for the project must be accounted for in a De Minimis Cost Waiver Worksheet calculation, if provided by the Local Agency.

Provide copies of invoices for the actual costs of materials including transportation to the project site.

In applying a De Minimum Cost Waiver, total cost of non-compliant construction materials and manufactured products does not include the cost of any products subject to a separate Buy America waiver.

If De Minimis Cost Waiver Worksheet calculation for materials subject to Buy America is not submitted, the Local Agency may:

1. Withhold from the next progress payment

2. Reject your request for a De Minimis Costs waiver for non-compliant construction materials or manufactured products

9. QUALITY ASSURANCE
The Local Agency uses a Quality Assurance Program (QAP) to ensure a material is produced to comply with the Contract. The Local Agency may examine the records and reports of tests the prime contractor performs if they are available at the job site. Schedule work to allow time for QAP.

10. PROMPT PAYMENT
A. FROM THE AGENCY TO THE CONTRACTORS
The Local Agency shall make all project progress payment within 30 days after receipt of an undisputed and properly submitted payment request from the Contractor on a construction contract. If the Local Agency fails to pay promptly, the Local Agency shall pay interest to the Contractor, which accrues at the rate of 10 percent per annum on the principal amount of a money judgment remaining unsatisfied and pro-rated as necessary. Upon receipt of the payment request, the Local Agency shall act in accordance with both of the following:

1. The Local Agency shall review each payment request as soon as feasible after receipt to verify it is a proper payment request.

2. The Local Agency must return any payment request deemed improper by the Local Agency to the Contractor as soon as feasible, but not later than seven (7) days, after receipt. A request returned pursuant to this paragraph shall include documentation setting forth in writing the reasons why it is an improper payment request.

B. SUBMITTAL OF EXHIBIT 9-P
In accordance with California Business and Professions Code section 7108.5, the prime contractor or subcontractor shall pay to any subcontractor, not later than seven days after receipt of each progress payment, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the respective amounts allowed the contractor on account of the work performed by the subcontractors, to the extent of each subcontractor’s interest therein. In the event that there is a good faith dispute over all or any portion of the amount due on a progress payment from the prime contractor or subcontractor to a subcontractor, the prime contractor or subcontractor may withhold no more than 150 percent of the disputed amount. Any violation of this requirement shall constitute a cause for disciplinary action and shall subject the licensee to a penalty, payable to the subcontractor, of 2 percent of the amount due per month for every month that payment is not made.

In any action for the collection of funds wrongfully withheld, the prevailing party shall be entitled to his or her attorney’s fees and costs. The sanctions authorized under this requirement shall be separate from, and in addition to, all other remedies, either civil, administrative, or criminal.

For projects awarded on or after September 1, 2023:

The Contractor must submit Exhibit 9-P to the Local Agency administering the contract by the 15th of the month following the month of any payment(s). If the Contractor does not make any payments to subcontractors, supplier(s) and/or manufacturers they must report “no payments were made to subs this month” and write this visibly and legibly on Exhibit 9-P.

Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 12-G
Required Federal-Aid Contract Language

Office Bulletin #25-07 R3
The Local Agency must verify all Exhibit 9-P information, monitor compliance with prompt payment requirements for DBE and non-DBE firms, and address any shortfall to the DBE commitment and prompt payment issues until the end of the project. The Local Agency must email a copy of Exhibit 9-P to [email protected] before the end of the month after receiving the Exhibit 9-P from the Contractor.

[to be used when applicable]

14. FEDERAL TRAINEE PROGRAM
For the Federal training program, the number of trainees or apprentices is .

This section applies if a number of trainees or apprentices is shown on the Notice of Bidders.

As part of the prime contractor’s equal opportunity affirmative action program, provide on-the-job training to develop full journeymen in the types of trades or job classifications involved.

The prime contractor has primary responsibility for meeting this training requirement.

If the prime contractor subcontracts a contract part, they shall determine how many trainees or apprentices are to be trained by the subcontractor. Include these training requirements in each subcontract.

Where feasible, 25 percent of apprentices or trainees in each occupation must be in their 1st year of apprenticeship or training.

Distribute the number of apprentices or trainees among the work classifications on the basis of the prime contractor’s needs and the availability of journeymen in the various classifications within a reasonable recruitment area.

Before starting work, the prime contractor shall submit to the City/County of :

1. Number of apprentices or trainees to be trained for each classification

2. Training program to be used

3. Training starting date for each classification
The prime contractor shall obtain the City/County of approval for this submitted information before the prime contractor starts work. The City/County of credits the prime contractor for each apprentice or trainee the prime contractor employs on the job who is currently enrolled or becomes enrolled in an approved program.

The primary objective of this section is to train and upgrade minorities and women toward journeyman status.

The prime contractor shall make every effort to enroll minority and women apprentices or trainees, such as conducting systematic and direct recruitment through public and private sources likely to yield minority and women apprentices or trainees, to the extent they are available within a reasonable recruitment area and show that they have made the efforts. In making these efforts, the prime contractor shall not discriminate against any applicant for training.

The prime contractor shall not employ as an apprentice or trainee an employee:

1. In any classification in which the employee has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or in which the employee has been employed as a journeyman

2. Who is not registered in a program approved by the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training
The prime contractor shall ask the employee if the employee has successfully completed a training course leading to journeyman status or has been employed as a journeyman. The prime contractor’s records must show the employee's answers to the questions.

In the training program, the prime contractor shall establish the minimum length and training type for each classification. The City/County of and FHWA approves a program if one of the following is met:

1. It is calculated to:
• Meet the equal employment opportunity responsibilities • Qualify the average apprentice or trainee for journeyman status in the classification involved by the end of the training period

2. It is registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, and it is administered in a way consistent with the equal employment responsibilities of Federal-aid highway construction contracts
Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 12-G
Required Federal-Aid Contract Language

Office Bulletin #25-07 R3
The prime contractor shall obtain the State's approval for their training program before they start work involving the classification covered by the program.

The prime contractor shall provide training in the construction crafts, not in clerk-typist or secretarial-type positions. Training is allowed in lower-level management positions such as office engineers, estimators, and timekeepers if the training is oriented toward construction applications. Training is allowed in the laborer classification if significant and meaningful training is provided and approved by the division office. Off-site training is allowed if the training is an integral part of an approved training program and does not make up a significant part of the overall training.

The City/County of reimburses the prime contractor 80 cents per hour of training given an employee on thiscontract under an approved training program:

1. For on-site training

2. For off-site training if the apprentice or trainee is currently employed on a Federal-aid project and prime contractor does at least one of the following:
a. Contribute to the cost of the training
b. Provide the instruction to the apprentice or trainee c. Pay the apprentice's or trainee's wages during the off-site training period

3. If the prime contractor complies with this section.

Each apprentice or trainee must:

1. Begin training on the project as soon as feasible after the start of work involving the apprentice's or trainee's skill

2. Remain on the project as long as training opportunities exist in the apprentice's or trainee's work classification or until the apprentice or trainee has completed the training program Furnish the apprentice or trainee a:

1. Copy of the training plan approved by the U.S, Department of Labor or a training plan for trainees approved by both Caltrans and FHWA

2. Certification showing the type and length of training satisfactorily completed Maintain records and submit reports documenting contractor’s performance under this section.

15. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT AND

================================================================ Note: Executive Order (EO) 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors applies to all contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act for which the contract is awarded (and any solicitation was issued) on or after January 1, 2017. If this contract is covered by the EO, the contractor must provide employees with 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours they work, up to 56 hours of paid sick leave each year.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for their own illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill, injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or for reasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is a victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under the EO is available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts.

Note: Executive Order 13658 generally applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act that were awarded on or between January 1, 2015 and January 29, 2022, and that have not been renewed or extended on or after January 30, 2022. Executive Order 13658 does not apply to contracts subject only to the Davis-Bacon Related Acts regardless of when they were awarded.

If a contract is subject to Executive Order 13658, the
contractor must pay all covered workers at least $13.30 per hour (or the applicable wage rate listed on this wage
determination, if it is higher) for all hours spent performing on the contract in 2025. The applicable Executive Order minimum wage rate will be adjusted annually. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protections under Executive Order 13658 is available at
www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts.

Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (iii)).
---------------------------------------------------------------- The body of each wage determination lists the classifications and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the type(s) of construction and geographic area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order under rate identifiers indicating whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate), a survey rate, a weighted union average rate, a state adopted rate, or a supplemental classification rate.

Union Rate Identifiers
A four-letter identifier beginning with characters other than ""SU"", ""UAVG"", ?SA?, or ?SC? denotes that a union rate was prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example:

PLUM0198-005 07/01/2024. PLUM is an identifier of the union whose collectively bargained rate prevailed in the survey for this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates the local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. The date, 07/01/2024 in the example, is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate.

Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all changes over time that are reported to WHD in the rates
in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing the classification.

Union Average Rate Identifiers
The UAVG identifier indicates that no single rate prevailed for those classifications, but that 100% of the data reported for the classifications reflected union rates. EXAMPLE:

UAVG-OH-0010 01/01/2024. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the State of Ohio.

The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 01/01/2024 in the example, indicates the date the wage determination was updated to reflect the most current union average rate.

A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January, to reflect a weighted average of the current rates in the
collective bargaining agreements on which the rate is based.

Survey Rate Identifiers
The ""SU"" identifier indicates that either a single non-union rate prevailed (as defined in 29 CFR 1.2) for this
classification in the survey or that the rate was derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As a weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SUFL2022-007 6/27/2024. SU indicates the rate is a single non-union
prevailing rate or a weighted average of survey data for that classification. FL indicates the State of Florida. 2022 is the year of the survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. The date, 6/27/2024 in the example, indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ?SU? wage rates typically remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. However, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has the discretion to update such rates under 29 CFR 1.6(c)(1).

State Adopted Rate Identifiers
The ""SA"" identifier indicates that the classifications and prevailing wage rates set by a state (or local) government were adopted under 29 C.F.R 1.3(g)-(h). Example: SAME2023-007 01/03/2024. SA reflects that the rates are state adopted. ME refers to the State of Maine. 2023 is the year during which the state completed the survey on which the listed classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination.

The date, 01/03/2024 in the example, reflects the date on which the classifications and rates under the ?SA? identifier took effect under state law in the state from which the rates were adopted.
-----------------------------------------------------------

WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS
1) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be:
a) a survey underlying a wage determination
b) an existing published wage determination
c) an initial WHD letter setting forth a position on
a wage determination matter
d) an initial conformance (additional classification
and rate) determination
On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be directed to the WHD Branch of Wage Surveys. Requests can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:

Branch of Wage Surveys

conformance decisions, requests for initial decisions should be directed to the WHD Branch of Construction Wage Determinations.

Requests can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:

Branch of Construction Wage Determinations
Wage and Hour Division
U.S. Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Washington, DC 20210
2) If an initial decision has been issued, then any interested party (those affected by the action) that disagrees with the decision can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).

Requests for review and reconsideration can be submitted via email to [email protected] or by mail to:

Wage and Hour Administrator

After reacting, the asphalt-rubber binder shall conform to the requirements in Table 203-11.4(A).

The minimum reaction period shall be the time from complete incorporation of materials into the mix to the time that the asphalt-rubber meets all specifications for reacted material, but no less than 90 minutes. Once established, the minimum reaction period shall remain unchanged, unless there are changes in materials or equipment that may affect rubber digestion, in which case a new reaction period shall be established per specifications. The Engineer’s decision shall be final for determination of the minimum reaction period.

All material shall be tested for viscosity and verified as to complete reaction prior to transfer to any storage tank or use of the reaction tank for feet to the hot mix plant. Material reacted lower than specified temperature, but above 185 degrees C (365 F), or transferred to a storage tank prior to completion of reaction as specified, shall be reacted for total period of 3 hours prior to use. Any such transfer shall be described in the comments column of the Asphalt-Rubber Batch Log.

Inability to maintain reaction temperatures above specified minimums will be cause to terminate paving operations. Contractor is reminded that if the reaction tank does not have a gas retort

heating system capable of raising the temperature of its contents at least 20 degrees per hour, there exists the inherent potential for such below minimum temperatures to become an irreversible condition. Certification was previously provided at time of bid opening in the bid that the asphalt-rubber hot mix plant owner, the paving subcontractor, and asphalt-rubber supplier have been made fully aware of these provisions.

Contractor shall test viscosity and record the following information for every tank of asphaltrubber prior to being transferred to storage or directed to feed to the hot mix plant:
1) Temperature of stored asphalt cement material at time of loading 2) Time at which the reaction tank is fully loaded
3) Tons of asphalt-rubber added to the tank for the batch 4) Total asphalt-rubber in the tank after loading
5) The beginning time of reaction (Fully loaded and above 380° F) 6) Binder temperature at time of sampling
7) Temperature of tested material
8) Viscosity reading
9) Time of viscosity test (All test results must be prior to use.) If more than 20% of a batch is holdover material, the reaction time may be reduced, but a line item must be provided on the Asphalt-Rubber Batch Log showing items 6), 7) and 8) for a test just prior to loading new material. Reaction shall be considered to begin after all material is added. If more than 20% is holdover material, reaction time can be reduced to the fraction of total material that is holdover material, times 90 minutes, but shall be no less than 20 minutes.

A copy of the Asphalt-Rubber Batch Log shall be provided to the Engineer upon request. A copy of the batch log sheet and all circle charts for the day shall be faxed to the City within 1 1/2 hours of ending production of ARHM for the day. To fit 8 ½ x 11-inch sheets, the circle chart may be faxed in 2 parts with an overlap. See Subsection 203-11.5 for circle chart requirements.

The Maximum value for Haake Field Viscosity @191 degrees C (375 degrees Fahrenheit) in Table 203-11.4(A) is hereby changed to 2400 Centipoise.

The first fully reacted passing sample on each batch, prior to transfer to storage or converting to feed to the ARHM mix plant shall be poured into a clean gallon can that has been pre-certified by the Engineer. It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that sufficient sample cans with lids are at the plant, such that the can be pre-certified at least three days prior to use. If the Engineer is not at the plant at start up, the Engineer will provide certified labels, which are prenumbered and signed by Engineer to be affixed to the cans as they are consecutively used by number.

The Contractor shall conduct sampling such that the pre-certified sample can numbers correspond to the batch numbers beginning with one at the start of the project, increasing consecutively with each batch, without restarting the count at any point. After testing and

recording the information for the batch, the corresponding pre-certified sample can shall be filled and stored for the duration of the project or until the Engineer takes possession of the can. 203-11.4.1 The second and third sentences of Item Number 3 under Test Procedure is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

In one continuous operation, turn off the spindle rotation, remove the spindle vertically from the binder (after heating), discontinue stirring the binder and immediately insert the spindle back into the center of the binder to full immersion and wait 5 seconds. While holding the viscometer level, turn the spindle on and watch the needle on the viscometer dial and record the maximum value obtained on the dial.

Equipment for production of Asphalt-Rubber.

Add the following to Item 3) of 203-11.5:

A) Reaction Tank. The asphalt-rubber material shall be held in a reaction tank separate from the storage tank feeding the ARHM plant, until the reaction is complete. The reaction tank shall have agitation sufficient to increase the viscosity of the mixture to a peak viscosity reading at least 20 percent higher than the viscosity reading of the material measured at a time that the material otherwise meets specifications for reacted material.

The time of reaction may be extended as needed to produce this result. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to demonstrate to the Engineer through viscosity readings at appropriate times that the equipment conforms to these requirements. If this cannot be demonstrated, the reaction time shall be 3 hours. Once established, the reaction time shall be the minimum time for reaction unless there are changes in materials or equipment, in which case a new reaction time shall be established per specifications. The Engineer's decision shall be final.

The reaction tank shall have a functioning paper circle chart thermometer device, which shall record tank temperatures whenever asphalt-rubber is in any stage of production.

Seven days before production of asphalt-rubber starts, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer approximately double the number of charts estimated to be needed to produce the necessary binder quantity. These charts will be numbered and signed by the Engineer and returned to the Contractor prior to start of production. These signed and numbered charts shall be used throughout production of the asphalt-rubber binder. Charts shall be used in the consecutive order as numbered by the Engineer beginning with number one, and shall be returned weekly after use to the Engineer. Charts will be identified with the date they were used by the Contractor at time of installing on the equipment, and shall be identified as to the tank to which they were attached. Production of asphalt-rubber shall be terminated if this procedure is not followed and will not be restarted until Contractor demonstrates to the Engineer that it is capable of complying with this requirement.

WEAKLEY STREET IMPROVEMENT
FED. AID PROJECT NO. CML-5168(032) -154-

SPECIFICATIONS
At the start of each production day, the paper chart shall be replaced with a new signed, dated and numbered sheet, the lead scribe shall be sharpened or ink well filled, and the circle chart shall be calibrated against a sample of material drawn early from the first batch of the day. Any calibration adjustments shall be recorded in the appropriate space provided on the batch log sheet. A spare functional circle chart device shall be at the plant at all times for immediate installation should failure occur on a circle chart device being used. Calibration shall be performed as part of such installation. The lack of a functional circle chart device on the reaction tank shall be cause to terminate production of asphalt-rubber binder. A blunt lead scribe or low ink, or a paper chart used on a prior day will be considered to render the device non-functional.

B) Storage Tank. After a complete reaction is verified by viscosity readings acceptable to the Engineer, the material shall be held in a storage tank that is fully isolated from material that is not fully reacted. This tank shall be the only tank feeding the ARHM plant. No material shall be transferred to the storage tank feeding the plant until reaction is complete in the reaction tank.

APPLICATION
ARHM-GG construction on system 3 streets shall be performed on a different day than on intersections that are not contiguous with a system 3 street, without written authorization from the Engineer. Non-conformance with this requirement will be cause to pay for tonnage of pavement in all areas on that day at the lowest of the two tonnage prices.

ARHM-GG shall be complete in all areas prior to slurry.

Tack coat for overlay shall be SS-1h. The tack coat shall be applied at 0.12 gal/sy for non-diluted tack coat. If supplied dilutes the tack coat, apply tack coat at 0.20 gal/sy. Use caution when applying tack coat(s) at concentrations greater than 0.15 to avoid puddling and runoff.

All PCC surfaces, to be crossed by trucks used to haul ARHM, that are within 500 feet of the work limits shall be covered with sand or other durable covering prior to applying tack coat.

Contractor shall have sufficient power brooms on site during all periods of distribution and spreading to provide for cleanup of haul routes and work areas. Power broom shall provide miscellaneous cleanup of ARHM spoils as directed by the Engineer.

Mixing Binder with Aggregate
For drum plants, the system shall run fully automatic with the only input to the AC plant computer being information transmitted automatically from a Corealis mass flow meter on the line of the asphalt-rubber feed to the AC plant. All automatic shutdown features of the AC plant shall be fully functional.

SPECIFICATIONS
Distribution and Spreading
The ambient temperature shall not exceed 105° F at time of placing ARHM.

The temperature of ARHM shall be minimum 290 degrees Fahrenheit directly behind the paving machine and high enough upon delivery that pavement temperature after two passes with the breakdown roller exceeds 240 degrees Fahrenheit.

To avoid picking up loose rock in the overlay area, the tires of all trucks must be lightly oiled with linseed oil or soy bean oil or approved equal. Diesel fuel will not be allowed on the project at all for oil down of any equipment.

Raking of ARHM shall be eliminated as much as possible. ARHM material shall not be cast across the mat under any circumstance. Raking shall be just enough to set up edges for uniform joins without casting material. Screed controls shall be the predominant means of controlling material at joins. In areas where paving machines cannot be used due to space constraints, material shall not be thrown by shovels. Material shall be removed directly from the paving machine hopper and shall be placed directly in its final location, to be distributed with minimal raking. Material may be dumped directly from a truck, but further material distribution shall be by shovel directly to its final location with minimal raking. A small rubber tire tractor with a screed type attachment may be used to spread a pile dumped from a truck, but raking shall be minimized after spreading.

The paving machine screed shall not be pulled across an area already paved with ARHM, even adjacent to narrow areas to be paved. Such narrow areas shall have ARHM distributed by methods specified by shovel or rubber tire tractor, unless the adjacent area has hardened enough and will not be significantly marred by passing the screed over it. Even if hardened adequately, Contractor shall spread rock dust by hand tools to avoid cohesion of the ARHM in the screed to the existing surface of such areas of freshly cured ARHM.

Contractor shall maintain a functioning infrared heat measurement device in close proximity to each paving machine at all times. Contractor shall provide a pavement temperature reading, with an infrared heat measurement instrument, when requested by the Engineer. Inaccessibility of a heat measurement shall be cause for termination of paving operations.

Transverse cold joints shall be provided such that longitudinal joints are not left exposed at the end of the workday.

Contractor shall provide 20 foot long automatic screed control on both sides of the paving machine for all paving with paving machine, as directed by Engineer.

Rolling
Rolling along a joint shall be such that the widest part of the roller is on the hot side of the joint.

WEAKLEY STREET IMPROVEMENT

SPECIFICATIONS
Join lines between successive runs shall be prepared on the unconfined end using butt joint, milled or cutback joint, or notched wedge joint.

Initial breakdown rolling shall be static. Breakdown roller shall make two passes over all areas.

A pass shall mean one passage of the roller over an area.

An intermediate roller of the same or greater width than the breakdown roller shall be rolling directly behind the breakdown roller at all times, and paving shall cease if intermediate rolling is terminated for any reason. Additional intermediate rollers may be necessary depending on production rates. Intermediate roller shall make 2 passes unless otherwise directed or approved by the Engineer.

The rolling pattern shall be approved by the Engineer and once established, the rolling pattern shall remain consistent, unless conditions change and a modified rolling pattern is needed to conform to specification. Engineer shall be notified immediately on change of rolling pattern.

All finish rolling shall be performed by a separate finish roller.

To ensure optimum quality control, the use of more than one paver must be approved in advance by the Engineer, and will generally require one foreman, one sweeper, and a full complement of rollers per Subsection 302-5 of the Standard Specifications and this Subsection 302-9.5 for each paving machine.

An extra breakdown roller shall be on site at all times, free of defects.

A finish roller shall be provided in addition to intermediate rolling to perform all finish rolling, such that the intermediate roller can stay immediately behind the breakdown roller at all times.

The second sentence of Subsection 302-9.6 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Rock dust blotter shall be washed concrete sand per Fine Aggregate in Section 90, spread at rate of 2 to 3 pounds per square yard as necessary to maintain traffic at the direction of the Engineer. Excess sand spread on adjoining areas to receive ARHM-GG shall be thoroughly swept before spreading any binder.

Warranty
The Contractor shall warranty the materials and workmanship of the Asphalt-Rubber Hot Mix - Gap Graded (ARHM-GG), for a period of 365 days, and shall repair defects identified during the warranty period, in conformance with these special provisions. The warranty period shall start upon acceptance of the pavement.

The Engineer shall decide all questions which arise as to the performance of the ARHM-GG during the warranty period and as to the acceptable fulfillment of the warranty, in conformance with the provisions in Section 5-1.01, "Authority of the Engineer," of the Standard Specifications.

Construction area signs, shown on the plans, shall be removed upon completion of the contract item work, except for work required by the warranty. During the warranty period, the Contractor shall place and maintain signs in conformance with Section 12-3, "Traffic-Handling Equipment and Devices," of the Standard Specifications and these special provisions. Signs shall be, at the Contractor's option, either stationary mounted or portable signs conforming to the provisions in "Construction Area Signs" of these special provisions.

At least 7 days prior to beginning placement of the leveling course under the ARHM- GG, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a written list of existing defective areas, identifying the lane direction, lane number, starting and ending highway post locations and defect type. Within 7 working days of receiving the list of existing defective areas, the Engineer will review the list and provide the Contractor written approval or revisions of the areas, as being excluded from the warranty.

Alligator pavement shall mean areas of pavement surrounded by cracks on the full perimeter where the maximum dimension of the area within the perimeter is less than 10 inches, and such areas are multiple and clustered together contiguous to each other. Defects in the existing surfacing which may qualify areas for exclusion from the warranty include: Rutting greater than 9mm in combination with flushing of surface pavement as flushing as defined herein in more than 10% of the rutted area; rutting greater than 0.25 in combination with alligator cracking in more that 15% of the rutted area; patches of cold mixed asphalt concrete placed within the last 12 months. Rutting that shall be excluded from the warranty is defined as a longitudinal depression in the wheel path that, when measured by placing a straightedge on the finished surface and perpendicular with the center line, varies more than 0.25 from the lower edge of the straightedge, in combination with alligator cracking or flushing in the percentages described above. Segments of the project excluded from warranty for rutting or cracking shall be warranted for the other criteria. Segments repaired by the Contractor shall be warranted for all criteria.

Placement of the Asphalt-Rubber Hot Mix (Type GG) shall not begin until the Engineer has approved the list of existing defective areas, and repairs included in the contract have been made. The Asphalt-Rubber Hot Mix (Type GG) placed over areas shown on the plans or designated by the Engineer to be repaired shall be warranted.

When it is anticipated that there will be a suspension of work of more than 120 days, the Contractor may request in writing that a separate warranty period be established for the portion of ARHM- GG already completed. If the Engineer determines that the designated portion of

WEAKLEY STREET IMPROVEMENT

SPECIFICATIONS
ARHM- GG work has been completed in conformance with the requirements of the contract, the Engineer will recommend that the Director relieve the Contractor of the duty of maintaining and protecting the designated portion of ARHM- GG work in conformance with the provisions in Section 7-1.15, "Relief from Maintenance and Responsibility," of the Standard Specifications, except for work required by the warranty, and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of the date of the start of the separate warranty period and the date on which the separate warranty period will be complete. The relief from maintenance and responsibility shall apply to the designated portion of ARHM- GG only, and does not constitute completion of a contract item of work. Upon completion of the separate warranty period, no further work will be required on the designated portion of ARHM- GG. No separate interim estimate will be prepared for the designated portion of ARHM- GG. No more than one separate warranty period will be allowed during the contract.

The following criteria for identifying defective material placed by the Contractor shall apply to the ARHM-GG during the warranty period:

A. Rutting consists of a longitudinal surface depression in the wheel path which is, when measured by placing a straight edge on the finished surface and perpendicular with the center line varies more than 0.5 inch from the lower edge of the straightedge for a 50-ft length.

B. Raveling consists of the separation of the aggregate from the binder.

C. Flushing consists of the occurrence of a film of bituminous material on the surface of the ARHM-GG which results in a coefficient of friction of less than 0.30, determined in conformance with the requirements in California Test 342.

D. Delamination consists of the loss of the bond between the layers of pavement.

E. Pot holes consist of the loss of ARHM-GG material.

Lengths of each lane with rutting in the ARHM-GG shall have the 50-ft length area repaired. Areas in the ARHM- GG, of raveling, flushing or delamination, and pot holes shall be considered defective and shall be repaired.

Areas of rutting, raveling, flushing and delamination to be repaired shall be removed to 1-inch minimum depth of the ARHM- GG, by cold milling in conformance with these special provisions, for the full lane width and the length of the area determined to be defective, plus 5-ft on each end measured along the lane line. The area planed shall then be repaired by placing ARHM- GG in conformance with the provisions in "ARHM- GG" of these special provisions, produced by the same plant and aggregate source as original ARHM-GG.

If the area between 2 consecutive repairs, except repairs of pot holes is less than 10-ft in length, measured along the lane line, that area shall also be repaired.

If the total area of temporary patching placed or to be placed exceeds 5 percent of any 100-ft length of a lane or shoulder, the entire lane or shoulder for that 100-ft length shall be repaired as specified above, and the temporary patches previously placed in that 100-ft length shall be removed prior to placing the repair.

Temporary patches shall be removed and a repair placed within 20 days after expiration of the warranty period. If the Engineer determines that a temporary patch provides an acceptable traveling surface, the patch may remain in place.

As an alternative to the materials and methods specified above for repairs and temporary patches, the Contractor may use other materials or methods which will provide performance equal to or better than the ARHM- GG placed in conformance with the provisions in "ARHM-GG" of these special provisions, if the alternative materials and methods are approved in writing by the Engineer, except no alternative to removing the full depth of the ARHM- GG specified herein will be allowed for areas of flushing.

Should the Contractor fail or refuse to comply with the requirements of the warranty, the Engineer may make or cause to be made the needed repair work and provide a detailed billing to the Contractor for the work. The Contractor will be charged the cost for the work. This charge will be deducted from any payments due or to become due the Contractor.

Temporary patches and repairs made or caused to be made by the State, due to the Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of the warranty, shall not void the warranty of the ARHM-GG. The Contractor shall continue to warranty the ARHM- GG, including areas patched or repaired by the Contractor or by the State, for the remainder of the warranty period.

Warranty will be paid for on a lump sum basis. The contract lump sum price paid for warranty shall include full compensation for providing a warranty for Asphalt-Rubber Hot Mix (Type GG) and for furnishing labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals, and doing the work involved in repairing defective areas in the Asphalt-Rubber Hot Mix (Type GG), including job site inspection, placement and removal of temporary patches, cold planning, repair of defective
