1. The Contracting Agency must have full and unrestricted use and benefit of the facilities both from
the operational and safety standpoint.
2. Only minor incidental Work, replacement of temporary substitute facilities, or correction of repair
Work remains to reach physical completion of the Work.

revised schedule indicating when the Contractor expects to reach substantial and physical completion of the Work. The above process shall be repeated until the Engineer establishes the Substantial Completion Date and the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection. 1-05.11(2) Final Inspection and Physical Completion Date Section 1-05.11(2) is a new section: (******) When the Contractor considers the Work physically complete and ready for Final Inspection, the Contractor, by Written Notice, shall request the Engineer to schedule Final Inspection. The Engineer will set a date for Final Inspection. The Engineer and the Contractor will then make a final inspection and the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing of all particulars in which the Final Inspection reveals the Work incomplete or unacceptable. The Contractor shall immediately take such corrective measures as are necessary to remedy the listed deficiencies. Corrective Work shall be pursued vigorously, diligently, and without interruption until physical completion of the listed deficiencies. This process will continue until the Engineer is satisfied the listed deficiencies have been corrected. If action to correct the listed deficiencies is not initiated within 7 days after receipt of the Written Notice listing the deficiencies, the Engineer may, upon Written Notice to the Contractor, take whatever steps are necessary to correct those deficiencies pursuant to Section 1-08.5. The Contractor will not be allowed an extension of contract time because of a delay in the performance of the Work attributable to the exercise of the Engineer’s right hereunder.
Upon correction of all deficiencies, the Engineer will notify the Contractor and the Contracting Agency, in writing, of the date upon which the Work was considered physically complete, that date shall constitute the Physical Completion Date of the Contract, but shall not imply all the obligations of the Contractor under the Contract have been fulfilled. 1-05.11(3) Operational Testing Section 1-05.11(3) is a new section: (******) Unless otherwise noted in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of 3 working days’ notice of the time for each test and inspection. If the inspection is by another authority than the Engineer, the Contractor shall give the Engineer a minimum of 3 working days’ notice of the date fixed for such inspection. Required certificates of inspection by other authority than the Engineer shall be secured by the Contractor. It is the intent of the Contracting Agency to have at the Physical Completion Date a complete and operable system. Therefore, when the Work involves the installation of machinery or other mechanical equipment; street lighting, electrical distribution or signal systems; irrigation systems; buildings; or other similar Work, it may be desirable for the Engineer to have the Contractor operate and test the Work for a period of time, after final inspection but prior to the physical completion date. Whenever items of Work are listed in the Contract Provisions for operational testing they shall be fully tested under operating conditions for the time period specified to ensure their acceptability prior to the Physical Completion Date. During and following the test period, the Contractor shall correct any items of workmanship, materials, or equipment which prove faulty, or that are not in first class operating condition. Equipment, electrical controls, meters, or other devices and equipment to be tested during this period shall be tested under the observation of the Engineer, so that the Engineer may determine their suitability for the purpose for which they were installed. The Physical Completion Date cannot be established until testing and corrections have been completed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The costs for power, gas, labor, material, supplies, and everything else needed to successfully complete operational testing, shall be included in the unit contract prices related to the system being tested, unless specifically set forth otherwise in the proposal. Operational and test periods, when required by the Engineer, shall not affect a manufacturer’s guaranties or warranties furnished under the terms of the Contract.

Notice To Proceed date, or the date identified in the Notice to Proceed as “the first working day”, and shall end on the Contract Completion date. A non-working day is defined as a Saturday, a Sunday, a day on which the Contract specifically suspends Work, or one of these holidays:
• New Year’s Day
• Martin Luther King Day
• Memorial Day
• June 19th (Juneteenth)
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Veteran’s Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• the day after Thanksgiving
• Christmas Day
Note for holidays that land on a Saturday or Sunday: The day before Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. The day after Christmas shall be a holiday when Christmas Day occurs on a Monday or Thursday. When Christmas Day occurs on a Saturday, the two preceding working days shall be observed as holidays. When Christmas day occurs on a Sunday, the two working days following shall be observed as holidays. When holidays other than Christmas fall on a Saturday, the preceding Friday will be counted as a non-working day and when they fall on a Sunday the following Monday will be counted as a non-working day. The Contract Time has been established to allow for periods of normal inclement weather that, from historical records, is to be expected during the Contract Time, and during which periods, Work is anticipated to be performed. Each successive working day, beginning with the Notice to Proceed date and ending with the Physical Completion date, shall be charged to the Contract Time as it occurs except a day, or part of a day, which is designated a non-working day or an Engineer determined unworkable day. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly report showing (1) the number of working days charged against the Contract Time for the preceding week; (2) the Contract Time in working days; (3) the number of working days remaining in the Contract Time; (4) the number of non-working days; and (5) any partial or whole days the Engineer declared unworkable the previous week. This weekly report will be correlated with the Contractor’s current approved progress schedule. If the Contractor elects to work 10 hours a day and 4 days a week (a 4-10 schedule), and the fifth day of the week in which a 4-10 shift is worked would ordinarily be charged as a working day, then the fifth day of that week will be charged as a working day whether or not the Contractor works on that day. The Contractor will be allowed 10 calendar days from the date of each report in which to file a written protest of an alleged discrepancy in the Contract Time as reported. Otherwise, the report will be deemed to have been accepted by the Contractor as correct. The requirements for scheduling the Final Inspection and establishing the Substantial Completion, Physical Completion, and Completion Dates are specified in Sections 1-05.11 and 1-05.12.
The Engineer will give the Contractor written notice of the completion date of the Contract after all the

This requirement will not apply if the Construction Stormwater General Permit is transferred back to the Contracting Agency in accordance with Section 8-01.3(16), as required by the Contract Provisions.
Section 1-08.5 is supplemented as follows: (******) Within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Agency with copies of purchase orders for all equipment items deemed critical by the Contracting Agency, including but not limited to signal controller materials, lighting standards, and signal standards required for the physical completion of the Contract. Such purchase orders shall disclose the estimated delivery dates for the equipment. All items of Work that can be performed without delivery of the critical items shall start and be completed as soon as possible. At that time, the Engineer may suspend the Work upon request of the Contractor until the critical items are delivered to the Contractor, if the Contracting Agency received a purchase order within 10 calendar days after execution of the Contract by the Contracting Agency. The Contractor will be entitled to only one such suspension of time during the performance of the Work and during such suspension shall not perform any additional Work on the project. Upon delivery of the critical items, contract time will resume and continue to be charged in accordance with Section 1-08.
1-08.6 Suspension of Work
Section 1-08.6 is supplemented with the following: (******) Contracting Agency may at any time suspend the Work, or any part thereof, by giving notice to the Contractor in writing. The Work shall be resumed by the Contractor within 14 calendar days after the date fixed in the written notice from the Contracting Agency to the Contractor to do so. The Contractor shall not suspend Work under the Contract without the written order of the Contracting Agency. If it has been determined that the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time, the amount of such extension shall be only to compensate for direct delays, and shall be based upon the Contractor's diligently pursuing the Work at a rate not less than that which would have been necessary to complete the original Contract Work on time.

1-09.3 Scope of Payment
Section 1-09.3 is supplemented with the following: (******) The bid items listed in Section 1-09.14 will be the only items for which compensation will be made for the Work described in each section of the Standard Specifications when the Contractor performs the specified Work. Should a bid item be listed in a “Payment” clause but not in the Proposal Form, and Work for that item is performed by the Contractor and the Work is not stated as included in or incidental to a pay item in the Contract and is not Work that would be required to complete the intent of the Contract per Section 1-04.1, then payment for that Work will be made as for Extra Work pursuant to a Change Order. The words “Bid Item,” “Contract Item,” and “Pay Item,” and similar terms used throughout the Contract Documents are synonymous. If the “payment” clause in the Specifications relating to any unit bid item price in the Proposal Form requires that said unit bid item price cover and be considered compensation for certain Work or material essential to the item, then the Work or material will not be measured or paid for under any other unit bid item which may appear elsewhere in the Proposal Form or Specifications. Pluralized unit bid items appearing in these Specifications are changed to singular form. Payment for bid items listed or referenced in the “Payment” clause of any particular section of the Specifications shall be considered as including all of the Work required, specified, or described in that particular section. Payment items will generally be listed generically in the Specifications, and specifically in the bid form. When items are to be “furnished” under one payment item and “installed” under another payment item, such items shall be furnished FOB project site, or, if specified in the Special Provisions, delivered to a designated site. Materials to be “furnished,” or “furnished and installed” under these conditions, shall be the responsibility of the Contractor with regard to storage until such items are incorporated into the Work or, if such items are not to be incorporated into the Work, delivered to the applicable Contracting Agency storage site when provided for in the Specifications. Payment for material “furnished,” but not yet incorporated into the Work, may be made on monthly estimates to the extent allowed.
1-09.6 Force Account
Section 1-09.6 is supplemented with the following: (******) Contracting Agency has estimated and included in the proposal, dollar amounts for all items to be paid per force account, only to provide a common proposal for Bidders. All such dollar amounts are to become a part of the Contractor’s total bid. However, the Contracting Agency does not warrant expressly or by implication that the actual amount of Work will correspond with those estimates. Payment will be made on the basis of the amount of Work actually authorized by the Engineer.
1-09.7 Mobilization
Section 1-09.7 is supplemented with the following: (******) Mobilization shall also include, but not be limited to, the following items: the movement of Contractor's personnel, equipment, supplies, and incidentals to the project site; the establishment of an office, buildings, and other facilities necessary for Work on the project; providing sanitary facilities for the Contractor's personnel; and obtaining permits or licenses required to complete the project not furnished by the Contracting Agency.

1-09.9 Payments
Delete the fourth paragraph and replace it with the following:
(******) Progress payments for completed Work and material on hand will be based upon progress estimates prepared by the Engineer. A progress estimate cutoff date will be established at the preconstruction meeting.
The initial progress estimate will be made not later than 30 days after the Contractor commences the Work, and successive progress estimates will be made every month thereafter until the Completion Date. Progress estimates made during progress of the Work are tentative, and made only for the purpose of determining progress payment. The progress estimates are subject to change at any time prior to the calculation of the final payment.
The value of the progress estimate will be the sum of the following:
1. Unit Price Items in the Bid Form – the approximate quantity of acceptable units of Work completed
multiplied by the unit price.
2. Lump Sum Items in the Bid Form – the estimated percentage complete multiplied by the Bid Forms
amount for each lump sum item, or per the schedule of values for that item.
3. Materials on Hand – 100 percent of invoiced cost of material delivered to job site or other storage
area approved by the Engineer.
4. Change Orders – entitlement for approved extra cost or completed extra Work as determined by
the Engineer.
Progress payments will be made in accordance with the progress estimate less:
1. Retainage per Section 1-09.9(1);
2. The amount of Progress Payments previously made; and
3. Funds withheld by the Contracting Agency for disbursement in accordance with the Contract
Documents.
Progress payments for Work performed shall not be evidence of acceptable performance or an admission by the Contracting Agency that any Work has been satisfactorily completed.
Payments will be made by check or electronic transfer, issued by the Contracting Agency’s fiscal officer, against the appropriate fund source for the project. Payments received on account of Work performed by a subcontractor are subject to the provisions of RCW 39.04.250.
Section 1-09.9 is supplemented with the following: (******) Applications for payment shall be itemized and supported to the extent required by the Engineer by receipts or other vouchers showing payment for materials and labor, payments to subcontractors, and other such evidence of the Contractor's right to payment as the Engineer may direct, including “red line” as-built drawings showing work installed by the contractor during the progress payment period. The Contractor shall submit a progress report with each monthly request for a progress payment. The progress report shall indicate the estimated percent complete for each activity listed on the progress schedule (see Section 1-08.3) and a revised and updated schedule to reflect the most current project completion date.
1-09.9(1) Retainage
Section 1-09.9(1) is supplemented with the following: (******) The retained amount shall be released as stated in the Standard Specifications if no claims have been filed against such funds as provided by law, and if the Contracting Agency has no unsatisfied claims against the Contractor. In the event claims are filed, the Contracting Agency shall withhold, until such claims are

satisfied, a sum sufficient to satisfy all claims and to pay attorney's fees. In addition, the Contracting Agency shall withhold such amount as is required to satisfy any claims by the Contracting Agency against the Contractor, until such claims have been finally settled. Neither the final payment nor any part of the retained percentage shall become due until the Contractor, if requested, delivers to the Contracting Agency a complete release of all liens arising out of this Contract, or receipts in full in lieu thereof, and, if required in either case, an affidavit that so far as the Contractor has knowledge or information, the release and receipts include all labor and materials for which a lien could be filed: but the Contractor may, if any subcontractor refuses to furnish a release or receipt in full, furnish a bond satisfactorily to the Engineer to indemnify the Contracting Agency against the lien. If any lien remains unsatisfied after all payments are made, the Contractor shall reimburse to the Contracting Agency all monies that the latter may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable engineer's and attorney's fees.
1-09.9(2) Contracting Agency’s Right to Withhold and Disburse Certain Amounts
Section 1-09.9(2) is a new section: (******) In addition to monies retained pursuant to RCW 60.28 and subject to RCW 39.04.250, RCW 39.12 and RCW 39.76, the Contractor authorizes the Engineer to withhold progress payments due or deduct an amount from any payment or payments due the Contractor which, in the Engineer’s opinion, may be necessary to cover the Contracting Agency’s costs for or to remedy the following situations:
1. Damage to another contractor when there is evidence thereof and a claim has been filed.
2. Where the Contractor has not paid fees or charges to public authorities of municipalities, which
the Contractor is obligated to pay.
3. Utilizing material tested and inspected by the Engineer, for purposes not connected with the Work
(Section 1-05.6).
4. Landscape damage assessments per Section 1-07.16.
5. For overtime Work performed by City personnel per Section1-08.0(3).
6. Anticipated or actual failure of the Contractor to complete the Work on time:
a. Per Section 1-08.9 Liquidated Damages; or
b. Lack of construction progress based upon the Engineer’s review of the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, which indicates the Work will not be complete within the contract time. When calculating an anticipated time overrun, the Engineer will make allowances for weather delays, approved unavoidable delays, and suspensions of the Work. The amount withheld under this subparagraph will be based upon the liquidated damages amount per day set forth in Contract Documents multiplied by the number of days the Contractor’s approved progress schedule, in the opinion of the Engineer, indicates the Contract may exceed the Contract Time.
7. Failure of the Contractor to perform any of the Contractor’s other obligations under the Contract,
including but not limited to:
a. Failure of the Contractor to provide the Engineer with a field office when required by the Contract Provisions.
b. Failure of the Contractor to protect survey stakes, markers, etc., or to provide adequate survey Work as required by Section 1-05.4.

g. Failure of the Contractor to submit and obtain approval of a progress schedule per Section 1-08.3. The Contractor authorizes the Engineer to act as agent for the Contractor disbursing such funds as have been withheld pursuant to this Section to a party or parties who are entitled to payment.

1. No legal action has commenced to resolve the validity of the claims, and
2. The Contractor has not protested such disbursement.
A proper accounting of all funds disbursed on behalf of the Contractor in accordance with this Section will be made. A payment made pursuant to this section shall be considered as payment made under the terms and conditions of the Contract. The Contracting Agency shall not be liable to the Contractor for such payment made in good faith.
1-09.9(3) Final Payment
Section 1-09.9(3) is a new section: (******) Upon Acceptance of the Work by the Contracting Agency, the final amount to be paid the Contactor will be calculated based upon a Final Progress Estimate made by the Engineer. Acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be and shall operate as a release:
1. To the Contracting Agency of all claims and all liabilities of the Contractor, other than claims in
stated amounts as may be specifically excepted in writing by the Contractor;
2. For all things done or furnished in connection with the Work;
3. For every act and neglect by the Contracting Agency; and
4. For all other claims and liability relating to or arising out of the Work.
A payment (monthly, final, retainage, or otherwise) shall not release the Contractor or the Contractor’s Surety from any obligation required under the terms of the Contract Documents or the Contract Bond; nor shall such payment constitute a waiver of the Contracting Agency’s ability to investigate and act upon findings of non-compliance with the WMBE requirements of the Contract; nor shall such payment preclude the Contracting Agency from recovering damages, setting penalties, or obtaining such other remedies as may be permitted by law.
Before the Work will be accepted by the Contracting Agency, the Contractor shall submit an affidavit, on the form provided by the Engineer, of amounts paid to certified disadvantaged (DB), minority (MBE) or women business enterprises (WBE) participating in the Work. Such affidavit shall certify the amounts paid to the DB, MBE or WBE subcontractors regardless of tier.
On federally funded projects the Contractor may also be required to execute and furnish the Contracting Agency an affidavit certifying that the Contractor has not extended any loans, gratuity or gift and money pursuant to Section 1-07.19 of these Specifications.
If the Contractor fails, refuses, or is unable to sign and return the Final Progress Estimate or any other documents required for the final acceptance of the Contract, the Contracting Agency reserves the right to establish a completion date and unilaterally accept the Contract. Unilateral acceptance will occur only after the Contractor has been provided the opportunity, by written request from the Engineer, to voluntarily submit such documents. If voluntary compliance is not achieved, formal notification of the impending unilateral acceptance will be provided by certified letter from the Engineer to the Contractor that will provide 30 calendar days for the Contractor to submit the necessary documents. The 30-calendar day deadline shall begin on the date of the postmark of the certified letter from the Engineer requesting the necessary documents. This reservation by the Contracting Agency to unilaterally accept the Contract will apply to contracts that are completed in accordance with Section 1-08.5 and for contracts that are

terminated in accordance with Section 1-08.10. Unilateral acceptance of the Contract by the Contracting Agency does not relieve the Contractor of the provisions under contract or of the responsibility to comply with all laws, ordinances, and federal, state, and local regulations that affect the Contract.

Each lot of HMA produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation and having all constituents falling within the
tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with no further
evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the nonstatistical tolerance limits in the Job Mix
Formula shown in Table of Price Adjustment Factors, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section
1-06.2 to determine the appropriate CPF. The nonstatistical tolerance limits will be used in the calculation
of the CPF and the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the
existing sublots or samples from the Roadway shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results
for evaluation.
5-04.3(9)C5 Vacant
5-04.3(9)C6 Mixture Nonstatistical Evaluation – Price Adjustments
For each lot of HMA mix produced under Nonstatistical Evaluation when the calculated CPF is less than

The Contractor may request a sublot be retested. To request a retest, the Contractor shall submit a written
request within 7 calendar days after the specific test results have been received. A split of the original
acceptance sample will be retested. The split of the sample will not be tested with the same tester that
ran the original acceptance test. The sample will be tested for a complete gradation analysis, asphalt
binder content, and, at the option of the agency, Va. The results of the retest will be used for the
acceptance of the HMA in place of the original sublot sample test results. The cost of testing will be
deducted from any monies due or that may come due the Contractor under the Contract at the rate of
$500 per sample.
5-04.3 (9)D Mixture Acceptance – Commercial Evaluation
If sampled and tested, HMA produced under Commercial Evaluation and having all constituents falling
within the tolerance limits of the job mix formula shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with no
further evaluation. When one or more constituents fall outside the commercial tolerance limits in the Job
Mix Formula shown in 5-04.3(9), the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine
the appropriate CPF. The commercial tolerance limits will be used in the calculation of the CPF and the
maximum CPF shall be 1.00. When less than three sublots exist, backup samples of the existing sublots or
samples from the street shall be tested to provide a minimum of three sets of results for evaluation.
For each lot of HMA mix produced and tested under Commercial Evaluation when the calculated CPF is
less than 1.00, a Nonconforming Mix Factor (NCMF) will be determined. The NCMF equals the algebraic
difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 60 percent. The Job Mix Compliance Price Adjustment will be
calculated as the product of the NCMF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons, and the unit Contract price
per ton of mix.
If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will be
considered 1.00 in calculating the CPF.
5-04.3(10) HMA Compaction Acceptance
HMA mixture accepted by nonstatistical evaluation that is used in traffic lanes, including lanes for
intersections, ramps, truck climbing, weaving, and speed change, and having a specified compacted course
thickness greater than 0.10-foot, shall be compacted to a specified level of relative density. The specified
level of relative density shall be a CPF of not less than 0.75 when evaluated in accordance with Section 1-
06.2, using a LSL of 92.0 (minimum of 92 percent of the maximum density). The maximum density shall be
determined by WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 729. The specified level of density attained will be determined
by the evaluation of the density of the pavement. The density of the pavement shall be determined in
accordance with WSDOT FOP for WAQTC TM 8, except that gauge correlation will be at the discretion of
the Engineer, when using the nuclear density gauge and WSDOT SOP 736 when using cores to determine
density.
Tests for the determination of the pavement density will be taken in accordance with the required
procedures for measurement by a nuclear density gauge or Roadway cores after completion of the finish
rolling.
If the Contracting Agency uses a nuclear density gauge to determine density the test procedures FOP for

Roadway cores for density may be obtained by either the Contracting Agency or the Contractor in
accordance with WSDOT SOP 734. The core diameter shall be 4-inches minimum, unless otherwise
approved by the Engineer. Roadway cores will be tested by the Contracting Agency in accordance with
WSDOT FOP for AASHTO T 166.
If the Contract includes the Bid item “Roadway Core”, the cores shall be obtained by the Contractor in the
presence of the Engineer on the same day the mix is placed and at locations designated by the Engineer.
If the Contract does not include the Bid item “Roadway Core”, the Contracting Agency will obtain the cores.
For a lot in progress with a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the
Engineer is satisfied that material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than those
listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train. The test
point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The number of
passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point density, shall be
used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used for preleveling wheel rutting shall
be compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
Test Results
For a sublot that has been tested with a nuclear density gauge that did not meet the minimum of
92 percent of the reference maximum density in a compaction lot with a CPF below 1.00 and thus subject
to a price reduction or rejection, the Contractor may request that a core be used for determination of the
relative density of the sublot. The relative density of the core will replace the relative density determined
by the nuclear density gauge for the sublot and will be used for calculation of the CPF and acceptance of
HMA compaction lot.
When cores are taken by the Contracting Agency at the request of the Contractor, they shall be requested
by noon of the next workday after the test results for the sublot have been provided or made available to
the Contractor. Core locations shall be outside of wheel paths and as determined by the Engineer. Traffic
control shall be provided by the Contractor as requested by the Engineer. Failure by the Contractor to
provide the requested traffic control will result in forfeiture of the request for cores. When the CPF for the
lot based on the results of the HMA cores is less than 1.00, the cost for the coring will be deducted from
any monies due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract at the rate of $200 per core
and the Contractor shall pay for the cost of the traffic control.
5-04.3(10)A HMA Compaction – General Compaction Requirements
Compaction shall take place when the mixture is in the proper condition so that no undue displacement,
cracking, or shoving occurs. Areas inaccessible to large compaction equipment shall be compacted by
other mechanical means. Any HMA that becomes loose, broken, contaminated, shows an excess or
deficiency of asphalt, or is in any way defective, shall be removed and replaced with new hot mix that shall
be immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area.
The type of rollers to be used and their relative position in the compaction sequence shall generally be the
Contractor’s option, provided the specified densities are attained. Unless the Engineer has approved

5-04.3(10)D HMA Nonstatistical Compaction
5-04.3(10)D1 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Lots and Sublots
HMA compaction which is accepted by nonstatistical evaluation will be based on acceptance testing
performed by the Contracting Agency dividing the project into compaction lots.
A lot is represented by randomly selected samples of the same mix design that will be tested for
acceptance. A lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each Job Mix Formula
placed. Only one lot per JMF is expected. A sublot shall be equal to one day’s production or 400 tons,
whichever is less except that the final sublot will be a minimum of 200 tons and may be increased to
800 tons. Testing for compaction will be at the rate of 5 tests per sublot per WSDOT T 738.
The sublot locations within each density lot will be determined by the Engineer. For a lot in progress with
a CPF less than 0.75, a new lot will begin at the Contractor’s request after the Engineer is satisfied that
material conforming to the Specifications can be produced.
HMA mixture accepted by commercial evaluation and HMA constructed under conditions other than those
listed above shall be compacted on the basis of a test point evaluation of the compaction train. The test
point evaluation shall be performed in accordance with instructions from the Engineer. The number of
passes with an approved compaction train, required to attain the maximum test point density, shall be
used on all subsequent paving.
HMA for preleveling shall be thoroughly compacted. HMA that is used to prelevel wheel ruts shall be
compacted with a pneumatic tire roller unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
5-04.3(10)D2 HMA Compaction Nonstatistical Evaluation – Acceptance Testing
The location of the HMA compaction acceptance tests will be randomly selected by the Engineer from
within each sublot, with one test per sublot.
5-04.3(10)D3 HMA Nonstatistical Compaction – Price Adjustments
For each compaction lot with one or two sublots, having all sublots attain a relative density that is
92 percent of the reference maximum density the HMA shall be accepted at the unit Contract price with
no further evaluation. When a sublot does not attain a relative density that is 92 percent of the reference
maximum density, the lot shall be evaluated in accordance with Section 1-06.2 to determine the

appropriate CPF. The maximum CPF shall be 1.00, however, lots with a calculated CPF in excess of 1.00 will
be used to offset lots with CPF values below 1.00 but greater than 0.90. Lots with CPF lower than 0.90 will
be evaluated for compliance per 5-04.3(11). Additional testing by either a nuclear moisture-density gauge
or cores will be completed as required to provide a minimum of three tests for evaluation.
For compaction below the required 92%, a Non-Conforming Compaction Factor (NCCF) will be determined.
The NCCF equals the algebraic difference of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 40 percent. The Compaction
Price Adjustment will be calculated as the product of CPF, the quantity of HMA in the compaction control
lot in tons, and the unit Contract price per ton of mix.
5-04.3(11) Reject Work
5-04.3(11)A Reject Work General
Work that is defective or does not conform to Contract requirements shall be rejected. The Contractor
may propose, in writing, alternatives to removal and replacement of rejected material. Acceptability of
such alternative proposals will be determined at the sole discretion of the Engineer. HMA that has been
rejected is subject to the requirements in Section 1-06.2(2) and this specification, and the Contractor shall
submit a corrective action proposal to the Engineer for approval.
5-04.3(11)B Rejection by Contractor
The Contractor may, prior to sampling, elect to remove any defective material and replace it with new
material. Any such new material will be sampled, tested, and evaluated for acceptance.
5-04.3(11)C Rejection Without Testing (Mixture or Compaction)
The Engineer may, without sampling, reject any batch, load, or section of Roadway that appears defective.
Material rejected before placement shall not be incorporated into the pavement. Any rejected section of
Roadway shall be removed.
No payment will be made for the rejected materials or the removal of the materials unless the Contractor
requests that the rejected material be tested. If the Contractor elects to have the rejected material tested,
a minimum of three representative samples will be obtained and tested. Acceptance of rejected material
will be based on conformance with the nonstatistical acceptance Specification. If the CPF for the rejected
material is less than 0.75, no payment will be made for the rejected material; in addition, the cost of
sampling and testing shall be borne by the Contractor. If the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, the cost
of sampling and testing will be borne by the Contracting Agency. If the material is rejected before
placement and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75, compensation for the rejected material will be at
a CPF of 0.75. If rejection occurs after placement and the CPF is greater than or equal to 0.75,
compensation for the rejected material will be at the calculated CPF with an addition of 25 percent of the
unit Contract price added for the cost of removal and disposal.
5-04.3(11)D Rejection - A Partial Sublot
In addition to the random acceptance sampling and testing, the Engineer may also isolate from a normal
sublot any material that is suspected of being defective in relative density, gradation or asphalt binder
content. Such isolated material will not include an original sample location. A minimum of three random
samples of the suspect material will be obtained and tested. The material will then be statistically
evaluated as an independent lot in accordance with Section 1-06.2(2).

b. Patch depth shall match the existing thickness or at minimum 8-inches where the existing
pavement section is composed partially or wholly of concrete and shall be 8” where the
existing pavement section is not composed of any concrete.
c. If the trenching is within a single traveled lane, an entire lane-width overlay will be required.
d. If the outside of the trenching is within three feet (3') of any adjacent lane line, the entire
adjacent traveled lane affected will be overlaid.
e. If the trenching is greater than, or equal to 30% of lane per block (660-foot maximum block
length), or if the total patches exceed 12 per block, then the lanes affected will be overlaid.
Minimum overlay shall include all patches within the block section.
f. The entire traveled lane width for the length of the trench and an additional ten feet (10’) at
each end of the trench will be ground down to a depth of two inches (2”). A two-inch (2”)
overlay of Class B will be applied per City standards.

half feet (6.5’) wide for the entire width of the lane. Patches greater than five feet (5’) in length, width or
diameter shall be restored to trench restoration standards. In all cases, potholes, wells, and other small
patches shall be repaired per Renton Standard Plan 110. Restoration requirements utilizing vactor
equipment will be determined by the engineer.
The contractor in all cases can remove the pavement in the replacement area instead of grinding out the
specified two inches (2”) of asphalt. Full pavement replacement to meet or exceed the existing pavement
depth will be required for the area of pavement removal.
The Engineer may determine in the field that a full street-width (edge-of-pavement to edge-of-pavement)
overlay is required due to changes in the permit conditions such as, but not limited to the following:
1. There has been damage to the existing asphalt surface due to the contractor's equipment.
2. The trench width was increased significantly, or the existing pavement is undermined or damaged.
3. Any other construction related activities that require additional pavement restoration.
All street surfaces, walks or driveways within the street trenching areas shall be feathered and shimmed
to an extent that provides a smooth-riding connection and expeditious drainage flow for the newly paved
surface.
Feathering and shimming shall not decrease the minimum vertical curb depth below four inches (4") for
storm water flow. The Engineer may require additional grinding to increase the curb depth available for
storm water flow in areas that are inadequate. Shimming and feathering, as required by the Engineer, shall
be accomplished by raking out the oversized aggregates from the Class B mix as appropriate.
Surface smoothness shall be per Section 5-04.3(13) of the Standard Specifications. The paving shall be
corrected by removal and repaving of the trench only. Asphalt patch depths will vary based upon the
streets being trenched.
The final patch or overlay shall be completed as soon as possible and shall not exceed fifteen (15) working
days after first opening the trench. This time frame may be adjusted if delays are due to inclement paving

that enters the existing downstream system as a result of his work at his expense. When the first manhole
is set, its outlet shall be plugged until acceptance of the new construction by the Engineer.
7-17.3(1)A Temporary Sewer Bypass Systems
It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to maintain operation of the existing sewer systems throughout
the duration of the project without any interruption of sewer service. The Contractor shall divert all flows
around each segment of the pipe designated for rehabilitation. This diversion shall consist of redirecting
flow from an upstream manhole and discharging it to a manhole downstream of the rehabilitation
operation. This can be accomplished via a combination of pumping and/or gravity flow. After the work is
completed, flow shall be returned to the sewer system. The area affected by the bypass operation shall be
fully restored.
Bypass pumping shall be scheduled for continuous operation. Back-up equipment shall be on-site and
available for periods of maintenance, refueling or failure of the primary bypass pump(s) or diversion
system. Bypass pumping shall be done in such a manner as not to damage private or public property or
create a nuisance or public menace. The bypass-pumping pipe shall not block any driveways or
intersections unless approved by the Engineer. The sewage shall be pumped through a watertight hose or
pipe that is adequately protected from traffic. The discharge of raw sewage to private property, city streets,
sidewalks, storm sewer, or any location other than an approved sanitary sewer is prohibited. The
Contractor shall be liable for all cleanup, damages, and resultant fines should the Contractor's operation
cause any backups or overflows.
The Contractor's bypass operation shall be sized to handle, at a minimum, the pipe full capacity in each
subject line removed from service. The Engineer may allow a flow less than full pipe capacity if the
Contractor can demonstrate a lower flow is anticipated and sufficient accommodations are made for
sudden increases in flow. If flow conditions are greater than full pipe, the Contractor may elect to wait for
flow conditions to subside prior to removing the subject line from service. Working days will not be
charged for the period of time during which the flow is greater than full pipe. No additional payment will
be made for periods of high flows during which the Contractor elects to wait for lower flows. Once the
Contractor removes a section of line from service he is responsible to bypass any and all flow in the system
during construction, even in the event the system surcharges and exceeds the full pipe capacity, until the
line is returned to service.
All bypassing systems shall be approved by the Engineer. A plan for bypassing the existing sewer system
shall be submitted by the Contractor for review. The Contractor's plan for bypass pumping shall be
satisfactory to the Owner before the Contractor will be allowed to commence bypass pumping. The
sewage bypass pumping plan shall include an emergency response plan to be followed in the event of a
failure of the bypass pumping and a security plan for continued operation and protection of the bypass
system. The review of the bypassing system and equipment by the Engineer shall in no way relieve the
Contractor of his responsibility and public liability.
The Contractor shall coordinate activities with impacted property owners. Property Owners shall be
notified that their side sewer will be out of service for a specified period of time, as approved by the
Engineer. Where there exist a situation where impacted properties cannot be disconnected, plugged, or
subjected to any other service interruption, i.e. hospitals, care facilities, restaurants, etc., bypass pumping
