93 Delaware Department of Transportation Complete Streets Policy REQUEST FOR POLICY IMPLEMENT STATE OF DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION P.I. NUMBER: O-6 Complete Streets Policy References: Executive Order Number 6 Proposed Complete Street Act of 2009 Revised: N/A Primary Responsibility: Director: Transportation Solution TABLE OF CONTENTS Title of Policy Purpose Objectives Applicability Responsibility and Implementation Exemptions Waivers Justification Effective Date Purpose To ensure that the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) system modifications are routinely planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained in a

94 way that enables safe and efficient access for all users. The result should be a system for all users that is comprehensive, integrated, connected, safe, and efficient allowing users to choose among different transportation modes, both motorized and non-motorized. Objectives 1. To define and implement changes to the project development process that will value all transportation modes during the project scoping phase and enhance currently used design practices through updates to DelDOT subdivision and design manuals, design memoranda, and policies. 2. To define roles and responsibilities through all phases of a project and implement strategies that will improve safety and convenience for all transit riders, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists using the Delaware transportation system. 3. To define an Exemption Process. 4. To define a Waiver Process. Applicability 1. All projects in the state right-of-way that are considered road reconstruction, widens the pavement width, or allows for the inclusion of facilities for all users, shall consider all transportation modes and accommodate accordingly; facility type shall be based on the project location and the needs of the community. 2. System maintenance projects are designed to keep what the State already owns in a good state of repair and are usually maintenance/pavement rehabilitation projects and require limited design and no right-of-way acquisition. While it is not the specific intent of these projects to expand existing facilities, opportunities to provide and improve safety for other modes shall be explored during the project development stage. Responsibility and Implementation 1. Planning, Maintenance & Operations, Transportation Solutions and Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC), as well as any professional services (consultants) working for DelDOT will have the responsibility for implementation of this policy. 2. Planning, in coordination with each applicable division, will be responsible for developing a Complete Streets Implementation Plan for DelDOT programs and projects. The implementation plan will have specific actions for each division, and be designed in a consistent and compatible format. The implementation plan should be adopted within twelve months of the effective date of this policy and include an annual review process. 3. Effectiveness of this policy may be reviewed from time to time at the request of the Secretary, the affected divisions within DelDOT, or the traveling public. Exemptions

95 Justification and documentation exists for a roadway project to be exempt from the requirements of this policy based upon one of the following circumstances: 1. Alteration and maintenance projects on an affected roadway that prohibits by law use of the roadway by specific users. (Example I-95). New construction would be exempt for facilities within the right-of-way. 2. If it is determined that a reasonable and equivalent alternative already exists for certain users or is programmed in the CTP/TIP as a separate project as determined by representatives of appropriate modes. (Example: transit planner representing bus service identifies project for new bus stop already programmed). 3. Ordinary maintenance activities designed to keep transportation facilities in serviceable condition that does not interfere with existing facilities for longer than the time needed to perform maintenance. 4. As of the effective date of this policy, projects that have been submitted by the applicant as Semi-Final or more advanced plans are exempt. Waivers It is recognized, in a built environment, that complexities and challenges exists and there is a need to avoid or mitigate impacts to natural and cultural resources. There may also be right-of-way and financial constraints associated with individual projects. In an effort to reconcile these constraints, DelDOT will include a waiver process, with appropriate time constraints, in each division implementation plan. The general waiver process concept is shown in the diagram below: Every effort should be made to identify constraints early in the project scoping phase. Therefore, Complete Street Waivers shall be initiated no later than the Semi-Final design phase of all projects.

96 Justification Complete Streets Defined The term ‘Complete Street’ means a roadway that accommodates all travelers, particularly public transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians (including individuals of all ages and individuals with mobility, sensory, neurological, or hidden disabilities), and motorists, to enable all travelers to use the roadway safely and efficiently. (HR 1443 IH) Creating complete streets means planning, designing, constructing, maintaining and operating streets and all directly related components for motorized and non-motorized modes of travel, as appropriate for the area. The most basic element of a complete streets policy is that it ensures that roads are planned and built to serve all users. National Movement The proposed Federal Complete Streets Act of 2009 defines effective complete streets policies that are flexible enough to use in daily transportation planning practice. It directs state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to adopt such policies within two years of enactment and applies the policies to upcoming federally funded transportation projects. Delaware Accomplishments DelDOT has been working towards a transportation system that allows users to choose between various modes. In fact, even though the term “Complete Streets” is relatively new, many DelDOT projects have been planned, designed, and built as such. DelDOT has adopted a Statewide Bicycle Plan that authorizes DelDOT to plan and establish bikeways across the state for the use, enjoyment and participation of the public in non-motorized transportation. DelDOT is also currently working on a Statewide Pedestrian Action Plan that will ensure all pedestrian facilities are built to current ADA standards. The plan also includes a statewide sidewalk inventory that will identify gaps in the pedestrian network and enable DelDOT to create a prioritization plan for sidewalk installation. Additionally, pedestrian signals with countdowns modules and accessible pedestrian signals are being installed throughout the state. DTC has completed a statewide bus stop inventory and is currently working on a bus stop policy with the goal of enhancing accessibility, reliability, and customer convenience. Executive Order Number 6 On April 24, 2009, Governor Jack A. Markell signed into effect Executive Order No. 6. This Executive Order directed that a Statewide Complete Streets Policy be delivered to the Governor by September, 2009. This step toward creating a transportation system in Delaware that provides facilities for biking, walking, and transit, can increase safety, reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. VIII. Effective Date

97 This policy shall become effective 30 day(s) after signature by the Secretary, or, if applicable, upon compliance with the regulatory process required by the Administrative Procedures Act (29 Del.C. Ch. 101).

122 Florida Department of Transportation Local Agency Specification Landscaping – Section 580 SECTION 580 LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION 580-1 Description. Plant trees and shrubs of the species, size, and quality indicated in the plans. The Engineer reserves the right to adjust the number and location of any of the designated types and species to be used at any of the locations shown, in order to provide for any unanticipated effects which might become apparent after the substantial completion of other phases of the project, or for other causes. 580-2 Materials. 580-2.1 Plants: 580-2.1.1 Authority for Nomenclature; Species, etc.: For the designated authority in the identification of all plant material, refer to two publications of L.H. Bailey: “Hortus III” and “Manual of Cultivated Plants,” and ensure that all specimens are true to type, name, etc., as described therein. For the standard nomenclature, refer to the publication of the American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature, “Standardized Plant Names.” 580-2.1.2 Grade Standards and Conformity with Type and Species: Only use nursery grown plant material except where specified as Collected Material. Use nursery grown plant material that complies with all required inspection, grading standards, and plant regulations in accordance with the latest edition of the Florida Department of Agriculture’s “Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants”. Except where a lesser grade might be specifically specified in the plans, ensure that the minimum grade for all trees and shrubs is Florida No. 1. Ensure that all plants are the proper size and grade at the time of delivery to the site, throughout the project construction period and during any designated plant establishment period. Ensure that plant materials are true to type and species and that any plant materials not specifically covered in Florida Department of Agriculture’s “Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants” conform in type and species with the standards and designations in general acceptance by Florida nurseries. Ensure that plant materials are shipped with tags stating the botanical and common name of the plant. 580-2.1.3 Inspection and Transporting: Move nursery stock in accordance with all Federal and State regulations therefor, and accompany each shipment with the required inspection certificates for filing with the Engineer. 580-2.2 Water: Water used in landscaping operations may be obtained from any approved source. Ensure that water is free of any substance which might be detrimental to plant growth.

123 The use of effluent water is subject to approval and must meet all Federal, State and Local requirements. 580-3 Specific Requirements for the Various Plant Designations. 580-3.1 Balled-and-Burlapped Plants (B&B), and Wired Balled-and-Burlapped (WB & B): 580-3.1.1 General: Properly protect the root ball of these plants until planting them. The Engineer may reject any plant which shows evidence of having been mishandled. Set the B&B and WB&B plants then remove the top 2/3 of all wire, rope, and binding surrounding the plant. Remove the burlap from the top 4 inches [100 mm] of the root ball. Do not disturb the root ball in any way. Bare root material is not allowed for substitution. At least 90 days before digging out B & B and WB & B plants, root-prune those 1 1/2 inches [38 mm] or greater in diameter and certify such fact on accompanying invoices. 580-3.1.2 Provisions for Wiring: For plants grown in soil of a loose texture, which does not readily adhere to the root system (and especially in the case of large plants or trees), the Engineer may require WB & B plants. For WB & B plants, before removing the plant from the excavated hole, place sound hog wire around the burlapped ball, and loop and tension it until the tightened wire netting substantially packages the burlapped ball such as to prevent disturbing of the loose soil around the roots during handling. 580-3.2 Container-Grown Plants (CG): The Engineer will not accept any CG plants with roots which have become pot-bound or for which the top system is too large for the size of the container. Fully cut and open all containers in a manner that will not damage the root system. Do not remove CG plants from the container until immediately before planting to prevent damage to the root system. 580-3.3 Collected Plants (Trees and Shrubs) (C): Use C plants which have a root ball according to “Florida Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants”. Do not plant any C plant before the Engineer’s inspection and acceptance at the planting site. 580-3.4 Collected Plants (Herbaceous) (HC): The root mass and vegetative portions of collected herbaceous plants shall be as large as the specified container-grown equivalent. Do not plant any collected plant before inspection and acceptance by the Engineer. 580-3.5 Specimen Plants (Special Grade): When Specimen (or Special Grade) plants are required, label them as such on the plant list, and tag the plant to be furnished. 580-3.6 Palms: Wrap the roots of all plants of the palm species before transporting, except if they are CG plants and ensure that they have an adequate root ball structure and mass for healthy transplantation as defined in “Florida Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants”. The Engineer will not require burlapping if the palm is carefully dug from marl or heavy soil that adheres to the roots and retains its shape without crumbling. During transporting and after arrival, carefully protect root balls of palms from wind and exposure to the sun. Muck grown palms are not allowed. After delivery to the job site, if not planting the palm within 24 hours, cover the root ball with a moist material. Plant all palms within 48 hours of delivery to the site.

124 Move sabal and coconut palms in accordance with the “Florida Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants.” 580-3.7 Substitution of Container-Grown (CG) Plants: With the Engineer’s approval, the Contractor may substitute CG plants for any other root classification types, if he has met all other requirements of the Contract Documents. 580-4 Planting Requirements. 580-4.1 Layout: Prior to any excavation or planting, mark all planting beds and individual locations of palms, trees, large shrubs and proposed art and architectural structures, as shown in the plans, on the ground with a common bright orange colored spray paint, or with other approved methods, within the project limits. Obtain the Engineer’s approval and make necessary utility clearance requests. 580-4.2 Excavation of Plant Holes: Excavate plant holes after an area around the plant three times the size of the root ball has been tilled to a depth of the root ball. Ensure that the plant hole is made in the center of the tilled area only to the depth of the plant root ball. Where excess material has been excavated from the plant hole, use the excavated material to backfill to proper level. 580-4.3 Setting of Plants: Center plants in the hole. Lower the plant into the hole so that it rests on a prepared hole bottom such that the roots are level with, or slightly above, the level of their previous growth and so oriented such as to present the best appearance. Backfill with native soil, unless otherwise specified on the plans. Firmly rod and water- in the backfill so that no air pockets remain. Apply a sufficient quantity of water immediately upon planting to thoroughly moisten all of the backfilled earth. Keep plants in a moistened condition for the duration of the planting period. When so directed, form a water ring 6 inches [150 mm] in width to make a water collecting basin with an inside diameter equal to the diameter of the excavated hole. Maintain the water ring in an acceptable condition. 580-4.4 Special Bed Preparation: Where multiple or mass plantings are to be made in extended bedding areas, and the plans specify Special Bed Preparation, prepare the planting beds as follows: Remove all vegetation from within the area of the planting bed and excavate the surface soil to a depth of 6 inches [150 mm]. Backfill the excavated area with peat, sand, finish soil layer material or other material to the elevation of the original surface. Till the entire area to provide a loose, friable mixture to a depth of at least 8 inches [200 mm]. Level the bed only slightly above the adjacent ground level. Then mulch the entire bedding area, in accordance with 580-8. 580-5 Staking and Guying. 580-5.1 General: When specified in the plans, or as directed by the Engineer, stake plants in accordance with the following. Use wide plastic, rubber or other flexible strapping materials to support the tree to stakes or ground anchors that will give as the tree moves in any direction up to 30 degrees. Do

125 not use rope or wire through a hose. Use guy chords, hose or any other thin bracing or anchorage material which has a minimum 12 inches [300 mm] length of high visibility flagging tape secured to guys, midway between the tree and stakes for safety. Stake trees larger than 1 inch [25 mm] diameter and smaller than 2 inches [50 mm] diameter with a 2 by 2 inch [50 by 50 mm] stake, set at least 2 feet [0.6 m] in the ground and extending to the crown of the plant. Firmly fasten the plant to the stake with flexible strapping materials as noted above. 580-5.2 Trees of 2 to 3 1/2 inches [50 to 90 mm] Caliper: Stake all trees, other than palm trees, larger than 2 inches [50 mm] caliper and smaller than 3 1/2 inches [90 mm] caliper with two 2 by 4 inch [50 by 100 mm] stakes, 8 feet [2.4 m] long, set 2 feet [0.6 m] in the ground. Place the tree midway between the stakes and hold it firmly in place by flexible strapping materials as noted above. 580-5.3 Large Trees: Guy all trees, other than palm trees, larger than 3 1/2 inches [90 mm] caliper, from at least three points, with flexible strapping materials as noted above. Anchor flexible strapping to 2 by 4 by 24 inch [50 by 100 by 600 mm] stakes, driven into the ground such that the top of the stake is at least 3 inches [75 mm] below the finished ground. 580-5.4 Special Requirements for Palm Trees: Brace palms which are to be staked with three 2 by 4 inch [50 by 100 mm] wood braces, toe-nailed to cleats which are securely banded at two points to the palm, at a point one third the height of the trunk. Pad the trunk with five layers of burlap under the cleats. Place braces approximately 120 degrees apart and secure them underground by 2 by 4 by 12 inch [50 by 100 by 300 mm] stake pads. 580-6 Tree Protection and Root Barriers. Install tree barricades when called for in the Contract Documents or by the Engineer to protect existing trees from damage during project construction. Place barricades at the drip line of the tree foliage or as far from the base of the tree trunk as possible. Barricades shall be able to withstand bumps by heavy equipment and trucks. Maintain barricades in good condition. When called for in the Contract Documents, install root barriers or fabrics in accordance with the details shown. 580-7 Pruning. Prune all broken or damaged roots and limbs in accordance with established arboriculture practices. When pruning is completed ensure that all remaining wood is alive. Do not reduce the size or quality of the plant below the minimum specified. 580-8 Mulching. Uniformly apply mulch material, consisting of wood chips (no Cypress Mulch is allowed), pine straw, compost, or other suitable material approved by the Engineer, to a minimum loose thickness of 3 inches [75 mm] over the entire area of the backfilled hole or bed within two days after the planting. Maintain the mulch continuously in place until the time of final inspection. 580-9 Disposal of Surplus Materials and Debris. Dispose of surplus excavated material from plant holes by scattering or otherwise as might be directed so that it is not readily visible or conspicuous to the passing motorist or pedestrian.

126 Remove all debris and other objectionable material from the site and clean up the entire area and leave it in neat condition. 580-10 Contractor’s Responsibility for Condition of the Plantings. Ensure that the plants are kept watered, that the staking and guying is kept adjusted as necessary, that all planting areas and beds are kept free of weeds and undesirable plant growth and that the plants are maintained so that they are healthy, vigorous, and undamaged at the time of acceptance. 580-11 Plant Establishment Period. If the Contract Documents designate a Plant Establishment Period, assume responsibility for the proper maintenance, survival and condition of all landscape items during such period at no additional cost. 580-12 Method of Measurement. The quantities to be paid for will be the items shown in the plans, completed and accepted. 580-13 Basis of Payment. Prices and payments will be full compensation for all work specified in this Section.

Exhibit "A" sets forth the activities or phases being reimbursed, the estimated costs and the reimbursement percentages. (b) The SPONSOR, by executing this Agreement, certifies (1) that it has on hand, or will obtain over the life of the Project, sufficient funds to meet all of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, and (2) that it, and not the DEPARTMENT, shall provide all funds needed to pay any costs incurred in excess of those costs eligible for Federal-aid participation and shall bear all such excess costs. The SPONSOR shall be solely responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of this portion of the total Project costs. The SPONSOR may use any combination of funds from its own budget and/or outside sources, whether public or private. (c) The SPONSOR, for the purpose of reimbursement, shall submit to the DEPARTMENT on a monthly basis certified periodic (maximum of two (2) per month) invoices for: (1)Allowable costs for work performed by the SPONSOR's forces on the Project. (2) Work performed on the Project by the SPONSOR’s contractors(s) or consultant(s).

178 Following review and approval by the local Engineering District Office, the DEPARTMENT shall submit these certified invoices to the FHWA for payment. As FHWA funds are made available, the DEPARTMENT shall reimburse the SPONSOR for the proportionate share of the approved charges. (d) The SPONSOR is obligated to submit to the DEPARTMENT invoices from its consultant(s) and contractor(s) as it receives them, in accordance with the periodic schedule set forth above, to assure prompt payment of the consultant(s) and contractor(s) for work performed to date. (e) The SPONSOR shall pay the federal and the SPONSOR shares to its consultant(s) or contractor(s) within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the DEPARTMENT’s payment. The SPONSOR shall, as part of its record-keeping obligation, maintain records of receipt and payment of such funds. Failure to comply with this subparagraph or with the requirements of subparagraph (e) relating to submission of invoices shall be a default for purposes and the DEPARTMENT shall have the further right to change payment procedures unilaterally to a reimbursement basis. (f) If the DEPARTMENT changes payment procedures unilaterally to a reimbursement basis, as provided in subparagraph (e), the following procedures shall apply: (i) The SPONSOR, within seven (7) days of the established estimate dates, shall submit to the DEPARTMENT certified periodic (maximum of two (2) per month) invoices for reimbursement. (ii) The SPONSOR shall include with the invoices verification of payment of the consultant(s) or contractor(s) by means of a copy of the cancelled check or a certified letter from the consultant(s) or contractor(s) acknowledging payment. (iii) After reviewing the verification concerning payment of the consultant(s) or contractor(s) and material certifications and determining them to be

179 satisfactory, the Engineering District Office shall approve the invoices for payment. (iv) Following review and approval by the local Engineering District Office, the DEPARTMENT shall submit these certified invoices to the FHWA for payment of the federal share. As FHWA funds are made available, the DEPARTMENT shall reimburse the SPONSOR for the proportionate share of the approved charges. (g) The SPONSOR shall be responsible for all costs incurred in excess of those eligible for Federal-aid participation, including, but not limited to, any and all costs relating to or resulting from changes to the approved plans and/or specifications, time delays and extensions of time or termination of construction work, interest for late payments or for money borrowed to finance the Project (inasmuch as interest paid by the SPONSOR is not federally reimbursable), unforeseen right-of-way and other property damages and costs resulting from the acquisition and/or condemnation of lands for the Project and/or for the construction of the improvements, unforeseen utility relocation costs, unforeseen costs for environmental litigation and reports, and all other unforeseen costs and expenses not included in the estimates of design, utility relocation, construction and right-of-way acquisition costs, but which are directly related to or caused by the planning, design, and/or construction of the Project. This provision shall not preclude the SPONSOR from modifying the scope of the Project, with the approval of the DEPARTMENT, in the event that the costs exceed the available funds. (h) For those costs incurred by the DEPARTMENT, including, but not limited to, costs relating to administrative and oversight activities, which costs are the responsibility of the SPONSOR in accordance with subparagraph (b) above and appear as estimates on Exhibit "A," the DEPARTMENT shall invoice the SPONSOR on a monthly basis. Failure by the SPONSOR to reimburse the DEPARTMENT within thirty (30) days of receipt of the DEPARTMENT's invoice shall cause the SPONSOR to be in default of payment. In the event of such default, the DEPARTMENT may, in its sole discretion, consider the Project to be terminated, whereupon the

180 SPONSOR shall be obligated to reimburse all FHWA and DEPARTMENT funds in accordance with Paragraph 30. (i) The DEPARTMENT shall not reimburse any additional or extra work done or materials furnished, not specifically provided for in the approved plans and specifications, unless the DEPARTMENT has first approved such additional or extra work or materials in writing. Any such work done or materials furnished without such written approval first being given shall be at the SPONSOR's own risk, cost and expense. (j) The SPONSOR shall submit its final invoices for payment or reimbursement, as the case may be, of the items set forth in subparagraph (c) to the DEPARTMENT within one (1) year of the acceptance of the Project.

194 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Design Manual Bicycle/Pedestrian Checklist How to Use the Bicycle and Pedestrian Checklist The Bicycle and Pedestrian Checklist is an evaluation tool that has three distinct sections that perform best when completed at the appropriate times in the planning and design processes. The guidance below assumes a collective effort to complete the document throughout the life of a project. The three sections correlate closely with certain volumes and chapters within the Design Manual Series: 1. Planning and Programming - DM 1, Chapter 2 “Planning and Prioritization & Programming Phases” 2. Scoping - DM 1A, Chapter 5 “Engineering and Environmental Scoping” 3. Final Design - DM 2, Chapters 1, 2, 6, & 16 as applicable Planning and Programming Section This Section is the research element of the evaluation of bicycle and pedestrian needs. It is suggested that the completion of this Section be a collaborative effort between the District Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator and the District Planning and Programming Manager. The Planning and Programming Section should be initiated when a project has been selected for inclusion on the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Coordinate the research with the MPO/RPO, project sponsor, and other agencies or stakeholder organizations. Transportation Master Plans, of which Bicycle and Pedestrian components are plan subsets, are stable, long range documents that reflect the transportation needs of a region, and as such, are applicable to the Department’s individual projects. The Planning and Programming Section is intended to be a filtering process, whereby the highest level of assessment would be completed at the MPO/RPO and county levels within a District only once per version of their respective Master Plans. When the Master Plans at the MPO/RPO and county levels undergo revision, then a reassessment of bicycle and pedestrian needs, as applied to this Section, would also be revised. Conversely, the demographics and dynamics of a municipality change much more quickly than the MPO/RPO or county-level, and therefore, municipal-level development will have a much greater real-time impact on Department projects. Each Project Manager should query the planning division of a municipality in order to assess the most current accommodations planned for cyclists and pedestrians. Such a query would also reveal omissions of accommodations. The Planning and Programming Section should summarize the accommodations for cyclists and pedestrians that are currently planned on paper by various governmental and private entities. This summary is a transition to the scoping phase of evaluation and implemented in the Scoping Field View. Scoping Section The Scoping Section is a real-time validation of plans that are summarized in the Planning and Programming Section, and equally important is the identification of latent needs that are observed in the field. In many ways, the Scoping section is a comparison of what is planned

195 versus what can practically be constructed, and further calibrated with the unplanned, but warranted, needs that you observe in the field. The Scoping Section should be completed by the Project Manager as part of the Engineering and Environmental (E&E) Scoping process. Coordination with the District Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator, the MPO/RPO, the project sponsor, and other agencies or organizations who participate in the field view will provide an appropriate level of evaluation. Final Design Section The Final Design Section should be used as a “cookbook-style” guideline of various design elements that are supportive or indigenous to bicycle and pedestrian transportation as it relates to a specific project. This section is intended to be completed throughout the Preliminary Engineering and the Final Design Engineering phases of a project. The Project Manager is responsible for the completion of this section.

205 Washington Department of Transportation Local Agency General Specification for Asphalt 5-04.3(7)A Mix Design (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP) Delete this section and replace it with the following; 1. General. Prior to the production of HMA, the Contractor shall determine a design aggregate structure and asphalt binder content in accordance with WSDOT Standard Operating Procedure 732. Once the design aggregate structure and asphalt binder content have been determined, the Contractor shall submit the HMA mix design on DOT form 350-042 demonstrating the design meets the requirements of Sections 9- 03.8(2) and 9-03.8(6). HMA accepted by nonstatistical evaluation requires a mix design verification. For HMA accepted by commercial evaluation only the first page of DOT form 350-042 and the percent of asphalt binder is required. In no case shall the paving begin before the determination of anti-strip requirements has been made. Anti- strip requirements will be determined by: a. Testing by WSDOT in accordance with TM 718. b. Testing by Contractor in accordance with WSDOT TM 718. c.Historical aggregate source ant-strip use provided by WDOT. The mix design will be the initial Job Mix Formula (JMF) for the HMA being produced. Any additional adjustments to the JMF will require the approval of the Project Engineer and may be made per Section 9-03.8(7). 2. Mix Design Verification. Verification shall be accomplished by one of the following processes: a. Submit samples to WSDOT State Materials Lab for WSDOT verification testing in accordance with WSDOT Standard Specifications. b. The contracting agency will perform tests to verify the mix design in accordance with the Field Verification Testing Process. c. Reference a mix design that has been previously verified by the Field Verification Testing Process or verified by WSDOT State Materials Lab on a previous project. d. Perform Field Verification Testing on a sample of HMA provided by the Contractor prior to paving. Mix design verification is valid for one year from the date of verification. At the discretion of the Engineer, agencies may accept mix designs verified beyond the verification year with certification from the Contractor that the materials and sources are the same as those shown on the original mix design. 3. Field Verification Testing Process. The Contracting agency will collect three Production Samples of HMA on the first day of paving per AASHTO T 168 sampling procedures.

206 a. The Contracting agency will test one Production Sample in accordance with section 5-04.3(8)A for field verification per the requirements of Section 9-03.8(7). b. If the test results from the first Production Sample are within the tolerances of section 9-03.8(7), the mix design will be considered verified and the test results will be used as acceptance sample number one. c. If the test results from the first Production Sample are outside the tolerances of section 9-03.8(7), the other two samples will be tested and the results of all three tests will be used for acceptance in accordance with Section 5-04.5(1) and will be used in the calculation of the CPF the maximum CPF shall be 1.00. 4. Prior to the first day of paving, six Ignition Furnace Calibration Samples shall be obtained to calibrate the Ignition Furnaces used for acceptance testing of the HMA. Calibration samples shall be provided by the Contractor when directed by the Engineer. Calibration samples shall be prepared in accordance with WSDOT SOP 728. 5-04.3(8)A1, General (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP) Delete these sections and replace them with the following: Acceptance of HMA shall be as defined under nonstatistical or commercial evaluation. Nonstatistical evaluation will be used for all HMA not designated as Commercial HMA in the contract documents. Commercial evaluation will be used for Commercial HMA and for other classes of HMA in the following applications: sidewalks, road approaches, ditches, slopes, paths, trails, gores, prelevel, and pavement repair. Other nonstructural applications of HMA accepted by commercial evaluation shall be as approved by the Project Engineer. Sampling and testing of HMA accepted by commercial evaluation will be at the option of the Project Engineer. Commercial HMA can be accepted by a contractor certification letter stating the material meets the HMA requirements defined in the contract. 5-04.3(8)A4, Definition of Sampling Lot and Sublot (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP) Delete this section and replace it with the following: For the purpose of acceptance sampling and testing, a lot is defined as the total quantity of material or work produced for each job mix formula (JMF) placed. Only one lot per mix design will be expected to occur. The initial JMF is defined in Section 5-04.3(7)A Mix Design. The Contractor may request a change in the JMF in accordance with Section 9- 03.8(7). If the request is approved, all of the material produced up to the time of the change will be evaluated on the basis of tests on samples taken from that material and a new lot will begin. For proposal quantities less then 2500 tons sampling and testing for evaluation shall be performed as described in 5-04.3(7)A, item 3, Field Verification Testing Process. The

207 verification sample referenced in item 3b may be used as an acceptance sample, additional testing will be at the discretion of the Engineer. When using a previously verified mix design, testing for volumetric properties may be waived at the engineer’s discretion. At least one acceptance sample is required when using this method of acceptance. For proposal quantities greater than 2500 tons sampling and testing for evaluation shall be performed as described in 5-04.3(7)A, item 3, Field Verification Testing Process, for the first 2500 tons of mix placed. The verification sample referenced in item 3b may be used as an acceptance sample for the first 2500 tons of mix placed. Additional testing will be at the rate of one sample per 800 tons of mix placed or as directed by the Engineer. When using a previously verified mix design, testing for volumetric properties may be waived at the engineer’s discretion. 5-04.3(8)A5, Test Results (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP) Delete this section and replace it with the following: The Engineer will furnish the Contractor with a copy of the results of all acceptance testing performed in the field at the beginning of the next paving shift. The Engineer will also provide the Composite Pay Factor (CPF) of the completed sublots after three sublots have been produced. The CPF will be provided by the midpoint of the next paving shift after sampling. Sublot sample test results (gradation and asphalt binder content) may be challenged by the Contractor. For HMA mixture accepted by statistical evaluation with a mix design that did not meet the verification tolerances, the test results in the test section including the percent air voids (Va) may be challenged. To challenge test results, the Contractor shall submit a written challenge within 7-calendar days after receipt of the specific test results. A split of the original acceptance sample will be sent for testing to either the Region Materials Laboratory or the State Materials Laboratory as determined by the Project Engineer. The split of the sample with challenged results will not be tested with the same equipment or by the same tester that ran the original acceptance test. The challenge sample will be tested for a complete gradation analysis and for asphalt binder content. The results of the challenge sample will be compared to the original results of the acceptance sample test and evaluated according to the following criteria: Deviation U.S. No. 4 sieve and larger Percent passing ±4.0 U.S. No. 8 sieve Percent passing ±2.0 U.S. No. 200 sieve Percent passing ±0.4 Asphalt binder Percent binder content ±0.3 Va Percent Va ±0.7 If the results of the challenge sample testing are within the allowable deviation established above for each parameter, the acceptance sample test results will be used for acceptance of the HMA. 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 $250 per challenge sample. If the results of the challenge sample testing are outside of any one parameter established above, the challenge sample will be used for acceptance of the HMA and the cost of testing will be the Contracting Agency’s responsibility. 5-04.3(8)A7 Test Section – HMA Mixtures (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP)

When one or more constituents fall outside the commercial acceptance tolerance limits in Section 9-03.8(7), the lot shall be evaluated 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 produced under Nonstatistical or 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 the mix.

209 If a constituent is not measured in accordance with these Specifications, its individual pay factor will be considered 1.00 in calculating the composite pay factor. 5-04.5(1)B Price Adjustments for Quality of HMA Compaction (March 10, 2010 APWA GSP) Delete this section and replace it with the following: The maximum CPF of a compaction lot is 1.00 For each compaction lot of HMA when the CPF is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming 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 the NCCF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons and the unit contract price per ton of the mix.
