The Engineer will use the identically prepared samples provided by the Contractor to determine the aggregate and asphalt correction factors for the ignition oven in accordance with Tex-236-F, Part II. • If the Engineer does not witness the mixing of ignition oven correction factor samples, the Engineer will prepare the samples to determine the aggregate and asphalt correction factors for the ignition oven in accordance with Tex-236-F, Part II. Notify the Contractor before performing Tex-236-F, Part II. Allow the Contractor to witness the Engineer performing Tex-236-F, Part II. Correction factors must be performed every 12 mo. to be used for QA testing during production. 4.4.2.2.5. Testing the Trial Batch. Within 1 full working day, the Engineer will sample and test the trial batch to ensure that the mixture meets the requirements shown in Table 11. If the Contractor requests the option to have the Department perform the Hamburg wheel test on the trial batch mixture, the Engineer will mold samples in accordance with Tex-242-F to verify compliance with the Hamburg wheel test requirement shown in Table 10. TXDOT ITEM 341 -21 OF 46 Illra The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) The Engineer will have the option to perform the following tests on the trial batch. ■ Tex-226-F, to verify that the indirect tensile strength meets the requirement shown in Table 9. • Tex-530-C, to retain and use for comparison purposes during production. 4.4.2.2.6. Full Approval of JMF1. The Engineer will grant full approval of JMF1 and authorize the Contractor to proceed with developing JMF2 if the Engineer's results for the trial batch meet the requirements shown in Tables 8, 9, and 10. The Engineer will notify the Contractor that an additional trial batch is required if the trial batch does not meet these requirements. 4.4.2.2.7. Approval of JMF2. The Engineer will approve JMF2 within 1 working day if the mixture meets the requirements shown in Table 5 and Table 8. The asphalt binder content established for JMF2 is not required to be within any tolerance of the optimum asphalt binder content established for JMF1; however, mixture produced using JMF2 must meet the VMA requirements shown in Table 8. If the optimum asphalt binder content for JMF2 is more than 0.5% lower than the optimum asphalt binder content for JMF1, the Engineer may perform or require the Contractor to perform Tex-226-F on Lot 1 production to confirm the indirect tensile strength does not exceed 200 psi. 4.4.2.2.8. Approval of Lot 1 Production. The Engineer will authorize the Contractor to proceed with JMF2 for Lot 1 production after a passing Hamburg wheel test result on the trial batch is achieved from a laboratory listed on the MPL. The Contractor may proceed at their own risk with Lot 1 production without the results from the Hamburg wheel test on the trial batch. If the Department-approved laboratory's sample from the trial batch fails the Hamburg wheel test, the Engineer will suspend production until further Hamburg wheel tests meet the specified values. The Engineer may require up to the entire sublot of any mixture failing the Hamburg wheel test be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. 4.4.2.2.9. Approval of JMF3 and Subsequent JMF Changes. JMF3 and subsequent JMF changes are approved if they meet the mixture requirements shown in Table 4 and Table 5, and the master gradation limits shown in Table 8, and they are within the operational tolerances of JMF2 shown in Table 11. The addition of a WMA additive to facilitate mixing or as a compaction aid does not require a new laboratory mixture design or trial batch. Current JMF changes that exceed the operational tolerances of JMF2 in accordance with Table 11 may require a new laboratory mixture design, trial batch, or both. 4.5. Production Operations. Perform a new trial batch when the plant or plant location is changed. All source changes for asphalt will require a passing Hamburg wheel test result from a laboratory listed on the MPL. The Contractor may proceed at their own risk with Lot 1 production without the results from the Hamburg wheel 111 test on the trial batch. All aggregate source changes will require a new laboratory mixture design and trial batch. Take corrective action and receive approval to TRATXDOT ITEM 341 -22 OF 46 The Solco Group, LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) proceed after any production suspension for noncompliance with the specification. Submit a new mix design and perform a new trial batch when the asphalt binder content of: • any RAP stockpile used in the mix is more than 0.5% higher than the value shown in the mixture design report, or • RAS stockpile used in the mix is more than 2.0% higher than the value shown in the mixture design report. 4.5.1. Storage and Heating of Materials. Do not heat the asphalt binder above the temperatures specified in Item 300, or outside the manufacturer's recommended values. Provide the Engineer with daily records of asphalt binder and HMA discharge temperatures (in legible and discernible increments) in accordance with Item 320, unless otherwise directed. Do not store mixture for a period long enough to affect the quality of the mixture, nor in any case longer than 12 hr. unless otherwise approved. 4.5.2. Mixing and Discharge of Materials. Notify the Engineer of the target discharge temperature and produce the mixture within 25°F of the target. Monitor the temperature of the material in the truck before shipping to ensure that it does not exceed the maximum production temperatures shown in Table 12. The Department will not pay for or allow placement of any mixture produced above the maximum production temperatures shown in Table 12.

The high-temperature binder grade refers to the high-temperature grade of the virgin asphalt binder used to produce the mixture. 2. The Max production temperature of WMA is 275°F. Produce WMA within the target discharge temperature range of 215-275°F when WMA is required. Take corrective action anytime the discharge temperature of the WMA exceeds the target discharge range. The Engineer may suspend production operations if the Contractor's corrective action is not successful at controlling the production temperature within the target discharge range. Note that when WMA is produced, it may be necessary to adjust burners to ensure complete combustion such that no burner fuel residue remains in the mixture. Control the mixing time and temperature so that substantially all moisture is removed from the mixture before discharging from the plant. Determine the TXDOT ITEM 341 -23 OF 46 TigG The Solco Group, LC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) moisture content, if requested, by oven-drying in accordance with Tex-212-F, Part II, and verify that the mixture contains no more than 0.2% of moisture by weight. Obtain the sample immediately after discharging the mixture into the truck and perform the test promptly. 4.6. Hauling Operations. Clean all truck beds before use to ensure that mixture is not contaminated. Use a release agent listed on the MPL to coat the inside bed of the truck when necessary. Do not use diesel or any release agent not listed on the MPL. Use equipment for hauling as defined in Section 341.4.7.3.3., "Hauling Equipment." Use other hauling equipment only when allowed. 4.7. Placement Operations. Collect haul tickets from each load of mixture delivered to the project and provide the Department's copy to the Engineer approximately every hour, or as directed. Use a handheld thermal camera or infrared thermometer, when a thermal imaging system is not used, to measure and record the internal temperature of the mixture as discharged from the truck or material transfer device (MTD) before or as the mix enters the paver. Measure the mixture temperature at a minimum frequency of one per ten trucks, or as approved. Include an approximate station number or Global Positioning System coordinates of the location where the temperature was taken on each ticket. Ensure the mixture meets the temperature requirements shown in Table 12. Calculate the daily yield and cumulative yield for the specified lift and provide to the Engineer at the end of paving operations for each day unless otherwise directed. The Engineer may suspend production if the Contractor fails to produce and provide haul tickets and yield calculations by the end of paving operations for each day. Prepare the surface by removing raised pavement markers and objectionable material such as moisture, dirt, sand, leaves, and other loose impediments from the surface before placing mixture. Remove vegetation from pavement edges. Place the mixture to meet the typical section requirements and produce a smooth, finished surface with a uniform appearance and texture. Offset longitudinal joints of successive courses of hot mix by at least 6 in. Place mixture so that longitudinal joints on the surface course coincide within 6 in. of lane lines, are not placed in the wheel path, or will not be covered with pavement markings, or as directed. Ensure that all finished surfaces will drain properly. Place the mixture at the rate or thickness shown on the plans. The Engineer will use the guidelines shown in Table 13 to determine the compacted lift thickness of each layer when multiple lifts are required. The thickness determined is based on the rate of 110 lb. per square yard for each inch of pavement, unless otherwise shown on the plans.

The Contractor may pave at temperatures 10°F lower than these values when a chemical WMA additive is used as a compaction aid in the mixture, when using WMA, or when using a paving process with equipment that eliminates thermal segregation. In such cases, for each sublot and in the presence of the Engineer, use a handheld thermal camera operated in accordance with Tex-244-F to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the uncompacted mat has no more than 10°F of thermal segregation. 4.7.2. Tack Coat. 4.7.2.1. Application. Clean the surface before placing the tack coat. The Engineer will set the rate between 0.04 and 0.10 gal. of residual asphalt per square yard of surface area. Apply a uniform tack coat at the specified rate unless otherwise directed. Apply the tack coat in a uniform manner to avoid streaks and other irregular patterns. Apply the tack coat to all surfaces that will come in contact with the subsequent HMA placement, unless otherwise directed. Apply adequate overlap of the tack coat in the longitudinal direction during placement of the mat to ensure bond of adjacent mats, unless otherwise directed. Allow adequate time for emulsion to break completely before placing any material. Prevent splattering of tack coat when placed adjacent to curb, gutter, and structures. Do not dilute emulsified asphalts at the terminal, in the field, or at any other location before use, unless required in conformance with the manufacturer's recommendation for approved TRAIL product use, or when shown on the plans. 4.7.2.2. Sampling. The Engineer will obtain at least one sample of the tack coat binder per project per source in accordance with Tex-500-C, Part III, and test it to verify compliance with Item 300. The Engineer will notify the Contractor when the sampling will occur and will witness the collection of the sample from the asphalt distributor immediately before use. Label the can with the corresponding lot and sublot numbers, producer, producer facility location, grade, district, date sampled, all applicable bills of lading (if available), and project information, including TXDOT ITEM 341 -26 OF 46 TSG The Solco Group, LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) highway and control-section-job (CSJ) number. For emulsions, the Engineer may test as often as necessary to ensure the residual of the emulsion is greater than or equal to the specification requirement in Item 300. 4.7.3. Lay-Down Operations. Use the placement temperatures shown in Table 15 to establish the minimum placement temperature of the mixture delivered to the paving operation.

Thermal Imaging System. Review the output results when a thermal imaging system is used, and provide the automated report described in Tex-244-F to the Engineer daily, unless otherwise directed. Modify the paving process as necessary to eliminate any recurring (moderate or severe)thermal segregation identified by the thermal imaging system. TXDOT ITEM 341 -27 OF 46 TIM The Solco Group, LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) The Engineer may suspend paving operations if the Contractor cannot successfully modify the paving process to eliminate recurring severe thermal segregation. Density profiles are not required and not applicable when using a thermal imaging system. Provide the Engineer with electronic copies of all daily data files that can be used with the thermal imaging system software to generate temperature profile plots daily or as requested. 4.7.3.1.3. Thermal Camera. Provide the Engineer with the thermal profile of every sublot within 1 working day of the completion of each lot. When requested by the Engineer, provide the thermal images generated using the thermal camera. Report the results of each thermal profile in accordance with Section 341.4.2., "Reporting and Responsibilities." The Engineer will use a handheld thermal camera to obtain a thermal profile at least once per project. Take immediate corrective action to eliminate recurring moderate thermal segregation when a handheld thermal camera is used. Suspend operations and take immediate corrective action to eliminate severe thermal segregation unless otherwise directed. Resume operations when the Engineer determines that subsequent production will meet the requirements of this Section. No production or placement payment adjustments greater than 1.000 will be paid for any sublot that contains severe thermal segregation. Evaluate areas with severe thermal segregation by performing density profiles in accordance with Section 341.4.9.3.3.3., "Segregation (Density Profile)." Remove and replace the material in any areas that have severe thermal segregation and a failing result for segregation (density profile), unless otherwise directed. The sublot in question may receive a production and placement payment adjustment greater than 1.000, if applicable, when the defective material is successfully removed and replaced. 4.7.3.2. Windrow Operations. Operate windrow pickup equipment so that when hot mix is placed in windrows, substantially all the mixture deposited on the roadbed is picked up and loaded into the paver. 4.7.3.3. Hauling Equipment. Use belly dump, live-bottom, or end dump trucks to haul and transfer mixture. Except for paving miscellaneous areas, end dump trucks are allowed only when used in conjunction with an MTD with remixing capability or when a thermal imaging system is used, unless otherwise approved. 4.7.3.4. Screed Heaters. Turn off screed heaters to prevent overheating of the mat if the paver stops for more than 5 min. The Engineer may evaluate the suspect area in accordance with Section 341.4.9.3.3.5., "Recovered Asphalt Dynamic Shear Rheometer(DSR)," if the screed heater remains on for more than 5 min. while the paver is stopped. 4.8. Compaction. Compact the pavement uniformly to contain between 3.8% and 8.5% in-place air voids. Take immediate corrective action to bring the operation within TXDOT ITEM 341 -28 OF 46 TOG The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) 3.8% and 8.5% when the in-place air voids exceed the range of these tolerances. The Engineer will allow paving to resume when the proposed corrective action is likely to yield between 3.8% and 8.5% in-place air voids. Obtain cores in areas placed under exempt production, as directed, at locations determined by the Engineer. The Engineer may test these cores and suspend operations or require removal and replacement if the in-place air voids are less than 2.7% or more than 9.9%. Areas defined in Section 341.4.9.3.1.4., "Miscellaneous Areas," are not subject to in-place air void determination. Furnish the type, size, and number of rollers necessary to ensure desired compaction. Use additional rollers as required to remove any roller marks. Use only water or an approved release agent on rollers, tamps, and other compaction equipment unless otherwise directed. Use the control strip method shown in Tex-207-F, Part IV, on the first day of production to establish the rolling pattern that will produce the desired in-place air voids, unless otherwise directed. Use tamps to thoroughly compact the edges of the pavement along curbs, headers, and similar structures and in locations that will not allow thorough compaction using rollers. The Engineer may require rolling using a trench roller on widened areas, in trenches, and in other limited areas. Complete all compaction operations using breakdown rollers before the pavement temperature drops below 180°F, unless otherwise allowed. Compaction using a pneumatic or light finish roller operated in static mode is allowed for pavement temperatures above 160°F. Allow the compacted pavement to cool to 160°F or lower before opening to traffic, unless otherwise directed. Sprinkle the finished mat with water or limewater, when directed, to expedite opening the roadway to traffic. 4.9. Acceptance Plan. Payment adjustments for the material will be in accordance with Article 341.6., "Payment." Sample and test the hot mix on a lot and sublot basis. Suspend production if the production payment factor shown in Section 341.6.1., "Production Payment Adjustment Factors," or the placement payment factor shown in Section 341.6.2., "Placement Payment Adjustment Factors,"for two consecutive lots is below 1.000. Resume production once test results or other information indicates to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the next material produced or placed will result in payment factors of at least 1.000. 4.9.1. Referee Testing. The Materials and Tests Division is the referee laboratory. The Contractor may request referee testing if a "remove and replace" condition is determined based on the Engineer's test results, or if the differences between Contractor and Engineer test results exceed the maximum allowable difference in accordance with Table 11 and the differences cannot be resolved. The TXDOT ITEM 341 -29 OF 46 TN The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT i San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) Contractor may also request referee testing if the Engineer's test results require suspension of production and the Contractor's test results are within specification limits. Make the request within 5 working days after receiving test results and cores from the Engineer. Referee tests will be performed only on the sublot in question and only for the tests in question. Allow 10 working days from the time the referee laboratory receives the samples for test results to be reported. The Department may require the Contractor to reimburse the Department for referee tests if more than three referee tests per project are required and the Engineer's test results are closer to the referee test results than the Contractor's test results. The Materials and Tests Division will determine the laboratory-molded density based on the molded specific gravity and the maximum theoretical specific gravity of the referee sample. The in-place air voids will be determined based on the bulk specific gravity of the cores, as determined by the referee laboratory, and the Engineer's average maximum theoretical specific gravity for the lot. Except for"remove and replace" conditions, referee test results are final and will establish payment adjustment factors for the sublot in question. The Contractor may decline referee testing and accept the Engineer's test results when the placement payment adjustment factor for any sublot results in a "remove and replace" condition. Placement sublots subject to be removed and replaced will be further evaluated in accordance with Section 341.6.2.2., "Placement Sublots Subject to Removal and Replacement." 4.9.2. Production Acceptance. 4.9.2.1. Production Lot. A production lot consists of four equal sublots. The default quantity for Lot 1 is 1,000 ton; however, when requested by the Contractor, the Engineer may increase the quantity for Lot 1 to no more than 4,000 ton. The Engineer will select subsequent lot sizes based on the anticipated daily production such that approximately three—four sublots are produced each day. The lot size will be between 1,000 ton and 4,000 ton. The Engineer may change the lot size before the Contractor begins any lot. If the optimum asphalt binder content for JMF2 is more than 0.5% lower than the optimum asphalt binder content for JMF1, the Engineer may perform or require the Contractor to perform Tex-226-F on Lot 1 to confirm the indirect tensile strength does not exceed 200 psi. Take corrective action to bring the mixture within specification compliance if the indirect tensile strength exceeds 200 psi, unless otherwise directed. 4.9.2.1.1. Incomplete Production Lots. If a lot is begun but cannot be completed, such as on the last day of production or in other circumstances deemed appropriate, the Engineer may close the lot. Adjust the payment for the incomplete lot in accordance with Section 341.6.1., "Production Payment Adjustment Factors." Close all lots within 5 working days unless otherwise allowed. TXDOT ITEM 341 -30 OF 46 AG The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) 4.9.2.2.

Random Sample. At the beginning of the project, the Engineer will select random numbers for all production sublots. Determine sample locations in accordance with Tex-225-F. Take one sample for each sublot at the randomly selected location. The Engineer will perform or witness the sampling of production sublots. 4.9.2.2.1.2. Blind Sample. For one sublot per lot, the Engineer will sample, split, and test a "blind" production sample instead of the random sample collected by the Contractor. The location of the Engineer's "blind" sample will not be disclosed to the Contractor before sampling. The Engineer's "blind" sample may be randomly selected in accordance with Tex-225-F for any sublot or selected at the discretion of the Engineer. The Engineer may sample and test an additional blind sample when the random sampling process does not result in obtaining a sample. For one sublot per lot, the Contractor must obtain from the Engineer a "blind" production sample collected by the Engineer. If desired, the Contractor may witness the collection of blind samples. Test either the "blind" or the random sample; however, referee testing for the sublot (if applicable)will be based on a comparison of results from the "blind" sample. 4.9.2.2.2. Asphalt Binder Sampling. The Engineer will witness the Contractor obtain a 1-qt. sample of the asphalt binder for each lot of mixture produced. The Contractor will notify the Engineer when the sampling will occur. Obtain the sample at approximately the same time the mixture random sample is obtained. Sample from a port located immediately upstream from the mixing drum or pug mill and upstream from the introduction of any additives in accordance with Tex-500-C, Part II. Label the can with the corresponding lot and sublot numbers, producer name, producer facility, grade, District, date sampled, all applicable bills of lading (if available), and project information, including highway and CSJ number. The Engineer will retain these samples for 1 yr. The Engineer may also obtain independent samples. If obtaining an independent asphalt binder sample and upon request of the Contractor, the Engineer will split a sample of the asphalt binder with the Contractor. At least once per project, the Engineer will collect split samples of each binder grade and source used. The Engineer will submit one split sample to the Materials and Tests Division to verify compliance with Item 300, and will retain the other split sample for 1 yr.

Production Testing. The Contractor and Engineer must perform production tests shown in Table 16. The Contractor has the option to verify the Engineer's test results on split samples provided by the Engineer. Determine compliance with operational tolerances shown in Table 11 for all sublots. Take immediate corrective action if the Engineer's laboratory-molded density on any sublot is less than 95.0% or greater than 97.0% to bring the mixture within these tolerances. The Engineer may suspend operations if the Contractor's corrective actions do not produce acceptable results. The Engineer will allow production to resume when the proposed corrective action is likely to yield acceptable results. The Engineer may allow alternate methods for determining the asphalt binder content and aggregate gradation if the aggregate mineralogy is such that Tex-236-F, Part I does not yield reliable results. Provide evidence that results from Tex-236-F, Part I are not reliable before requesting permission to use an alternate method unless otherwise directed.

Operational Tolerances. Control the production process within the operational tolerances shown in Table 11. When production is suspended, the Engineer will TXDOT ITEM 341 -33 OF 46 The Solco Group, LC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) allow production to resume when test results or other information indicates the next mixture produced will be within the operational tolerances. 4.9.2.4.1. Gradation. Suspend operation and take corrective action if any aggregate is retained on the maximum sieve size shown in Table 8. A sublot is defined as out of tolerance if either the Engineer's or the Contractor's test results are out of operational tolerance. Suspend production when test results for gradation exceed the operational tolerances shown in Table 11 for three consecutive sublots on the same sieve or four consecutive sublots on any sieve, unless otherwise directed. The consecutive sublots may be from more than one lot. 4.9.2.4.2. Asphalt Binder Content. A sublot is defined as out of operational tolerance if either the Engineer's or the Contractor's test results exceed the values shown in Table 11. No production or placement payment adjustments greater than 1.000 will be paid for any sublot that is out of operational tolerance for asphalt binder content. Suspend production and shipment of the mixture if the Engineer's or the Contractor's asphalt binder content deviates from the current JMF by more than 0.5% for any sublot. 4.9.2.4.3. VMAs. The Engineer will determine the VMA for every sublot. For sublots when the Engineer does not determine asphalt binder content, the Engineer will use the asphalt binder content results from QC testing performed by the Contractor to determine VMA. Take immediate corrective action if the VMA value for any sublot is less than the minimum VMA requirement for production shown in Table 8. Suspend production and shipment of the mixture if the Engineer's VMA results on two consecutive sublots are below the minimum VMA requirement for production shown in Table 8. No production or placement payment adjustments greater than 1.000 will be paid for any sublot that does not meet the minimum VMA requirement for production shown in Table 8 based on the Engineer's VMA determination. Suspend production and shipment of the mixture if the Engineer's VMA result is more than 0.5% below the minimum VMA requirement for production shown in Table 8. In addition to suspending production, the Engineer may require removal and replacement or may allow the sublot to be left in place without payment. 4.9.2.4.4. Hamburg Wheel Test. The Engineer may perform a Hamburg wheel test on plant- produced mixture anytime during production. Suspend production until further Hamburg wheel tests meet the specified values when the production samples fail the Hamburg wheel test criteria shown in Table 10. The Engineer may require up to the entire sublot of any mixture failing the Hamburg wheel test to be removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. If the Department-approved laboratory's Hamburg wheel test on plant-produced mixture results in a "remove and replace" condition, the Contractor may request that the Materials and Tests Division determine the final disposition of the material in question by re-testing the failing material.

Individual Loads of Hot Mix. The Engineer may reject individual truckloads of hot mix. When a load of hot mix is rejected for reasons other than temperature, contamination, or excessive uncoated particles, the Contractor may request that the rejected load be tested. Make this request within 4 hr. of rejection. The Engineer will sample and test the mixture. If test results are within the operational tolerances shown in Table 11, payment will be made for the load. If test results are not within operational tolerances, no payment will be made for the load. 4.9.3. Placement Acceptance. 4.9.3.1. Placement Lot. A placement lot consists of four placement sublots. A placement sublot consists of the area placed during a production sublot. 4.9.3.1.1. Lot 1 Placement. Placement payment adjustments greater than 1.000 for Lot 1 will be in accordance with Section 341.6.2., "Placement Payment Adjustment Factors"; however, no placement adjustment less than 1.000 will be assessed for any sublot placed in Lot 1 when the in-place air voids are greater than or equal to 2.7% and less than or equal to 9.9%. Remove and replace any sublot with in- place air voids less than 2.7% or greater than 9.9%. 4.9.3.1.2. Incomplete Placement Lots. An incomplete placement lot consists of the area placed as described in Section 341.4.9.2.1.1., "Incomplete Production Lots," excluding areas defined in Section 341.4.9.3.1.4., "Miscellaneous Areas." Placement sampling is required if the random sample plan for production resulted in a sample being obtained from an incomplete production sublot. 4.9.3.1.3. Shoulders, Ramps, Etc. Shoulders, ramps, intersections, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, and turn lanes are subject to in-place air void determination and payment adjustments unless shown on the plans as not eligible for in-place air void determination. Intersections may be considered miscellaneous areas when determined by the Engineer. 4.9.3.1.4. Miscellaneous Areas. Miscellaneous areas include areas that typically involve significant handwork or discontinuous paving operations, such as temporary detours, driveways, mailbox turnouts, crossovers, gores, spot level-up areas, pavement repair sections less than 300 ft., and other similar areas. Temporary detours are subject to in-place air void determination when shown on the plans. Miscellaneous areas also include level-ups and thin overlays when the layer thickness shown on the plans is less than the minimum untrimmed core height eligible for testing in accordance with Table 13. The specified layer thickness is based on the rate of 110 lb. per square yard for each inch of pavement unless another rate is shown on the plans. When "Level Up" is listed as part of the bid item description, a payment adjustment factor of 1.000 will be assigned for all placement sublots as described in Article 341.6., "Payment." Miscellaneous areas are not eligible for random placement sampling locations. Compact miscellaneous areas in accordance with Section 341.4.8., "Compaction." Miscellaneous areas are not subject to in-place air void determination, thermal profiles testing, segregation (density profiles), or longitudinal joint density evaluations. TXDOT ITEM 341 -35 OF 46 SG The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) 4.9.3.2. Placement Sampling. The Engineer will select random numbers for all placement sublots at the beginning of the project. The Engineer will provide the Contractor with the placement random numbers only immediately after the sublot is completed. Mark the roadway location at the completion of each sublot and record the station number. Determine one random sample location for each placement sublot in accordance with Tex-225-F. Adjust the random sample location by no more than necessary to achieve a 2-ft. clearance if the location is within 2 ft. of a joint or pavement edge. Shoulders, ramps, intersections, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, and turn lanes are always eligible for selection as a random sample location; however, if a random sample location falls on one of these areas and the area is shown on the plans as not subject to in-place air void determination, cores will not be taken for the sublot and a 1.000 pay factor will be assigned to that sublot. Provide the equipment and means to obtain and trim roadway cores onsite. Onsite is defined as in close proximity to where the cores are taken. Obtain the cores within 1 working day of the time the placement sublot is completed, unless otherwise approved. Obtain two 6-in. diameter cores side-by-side from within 1 ft. of the random location provided for the placement sublot. Mark the cores for identification, measure and record the untrimmed core height, and provide the information to the Engineer. The Engineer will witness the coring operation and measurement of the core thickness. Visually inspect each core and verify that the current paving layer is bonded to the underlying layer. Take corrective action if an adequate bond does not exist between the current and underlying layer to ensure that an adequate bond will be achieved during subsequent placement operations. Trim the cores immediately after obtaining them from the roadway in accordance with Tex-251-F if the core heights meet the minimum untrimmed value in accordance with Table 13. Trim the cores onsite in the presence of the Engineer. Use a permanent marker or paint pen to record the lot and sublot numbers on each core, as well as the designation as Core A or Core B. The Engineer may require additional information to be marked on the core and may choose to sign or initial the core. The Engineer will take custody of the cores immediately after witnessing the trimming of the cores and will retain custody of the cores until the Department's testing is completed. Before turning the trimmed cores over to the Engineer, the Contractor may wrap the trimmed cores or secure them in a manner that will reduce the risk of possible damage occurring during transport by the Engineer. After testing, the Engineer will return the cores to the Contractor. The Engineer may have the cores transported back to the Department's laboratory at the HMA plant via the Contractor's haul truck or other designated vehicle. In such cases where the cores will be out of the Engineer's possession during transport, the Engineer will use Department-provided security bags and the Protocol for Roadway Core Custody located on the Department's website to provide a secure means and process that protect the integrity of the cores during transport. TXDOT ITEM 341 -36 OF 46 y, The Solco Group,LC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) Decide whether to include the pair of cores in the air void determination for that sublot if the core height before trimming is less than the minimum untrimmed value shown in Table 13. Trim the cores in accordance with Tex-251-F before delivering to the Engineer if electing to have the cores included in the air void determination. If electing to not have the cores included in air void determination, inform the Engineer of the decision, and deliver untrimmed cores to the Engineer. The placement pay factor for the sublot will be 1.000 if cores will not be included in air void determination. Instead of the Contractor trimming the cores onsite immediately after coring, the Engineer and the Contractor may mutually agree to have the trimming operations performed at an alternate location, such as a field laboratory or other similar location. In such cases, the Engineer will take possession of the cores immediately after they are obtained from the roadway and will retain custody of the cores until testing is completed. Either the Department or Contractor representative may perform trimming of the cores. The Engineer will witness all trimming operations in cases where the Contractor representative performs the trimming operation. Dry the core holes and tack the sides and bottom immediately after obtaining the cores. Fill the hole with the same type of mixture and properly compact the mixture. Repair core holes using other methods when approved. 4.9.3.3. Placement Testing. Perform placement tests in accordance with Table 16. After the Engineer returns the cores, the Contractor may test the cores to verify the Engineer's test results for in-place air voids. The allowable differences between the Contractor's and Engineer's test results are shown in Table 11. 4.9.3.3.1. In-Place Air Voids. The Engineer will measure in-place air voids in accordance with Tex-207-F and Tex-227-F. Before drying to a constant weight, cores may be pre- dried using a CoreDry or similar vacuum device to remove excess moisture. The Engineer will average the values obtained for all sublots in the production lot to determine the theoretical maximum specific gravity. The Engineer will use the average air void content for in-place air voids. The Engineer will use the vacuum method to seal the core if required in accordance with Tex-207-F. The Engineer will use the test results from the unsealed core to determine the placement payment adjustment factor if the sealed core yields a higher specific gravity than the unsealed core. After determining the in-place air void content, the Engineer will return the cores and provide test results to the Contractor. 4.9.3.3.2. Informational Shear Bond Strength Testing. The Engineer will select one random sublot within the first four lots of the project for shear bond strength testing. Obtain full-depth cores in accordance with Tex-249-F unless the HMA is being placed directly on concrete pavement. Label the cores with lot and sublot numbers and provide to the Engineer. Inspector must use pertinent Department form to document the CSJ number, producer of the tack coat, mix type, and shot rate. The Engineer will ship the cores to the Materials and Tests Division or TXDOT ITEM 341 -37 OF 46 Tgil The Solco Group,LLC DENSE GRADED HOT MIX ASPHALT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) District laboratory for shear bond strength testing.

If the random sampling plan results in placement samples, but not in production samples, no placement adjustment factor will apply for that sublot placed. A placement payment adjustment factor of 1.000 will be assigned to any lot when the random sampling plan did not result in collection of any production samples. 6.2.2. Placement Sublots Subject to Removal and Replacement. If after referee testing the placement payment adjustment factor for any sublot results in a "remove and replace" condition as shown in Table 20, the Engineer will choose the location of two cores to be taken within 3 ft. of the original failing core location. The Contractor must obtain the cores in the presence of the Engineer. The Engineer will take immediate possession of the untrimmed cores and submit the untrimmed cores to the Materials and Tests Division, where they will be trimmed, if necessary, and tested for bulk specific gravity within 10 working days of receipt. The bulk specific gravity of each core from each sublot will be divided by the Engineer's average maximum theoretical specific gravity for the lot. The individual core densities for the sublot will be averaged to determine the new payment adjustment factor of the sublot in question. If the new payment adjustment factor is 0.720 or greater, the new payment adjustment factor will apply to that sublot. If the new payment adjustment factor is less than 0.720, no payment will be made for the sublot. Remove and replace the failing sublot, or the Engineer may allow the sublot to be left in place without payment. The Engineer may also accept the sublot in accordance with Section 5.3.1., "Acceptance of Defective or Unauthorized Work."

Install formed joints as shown on the plans. Install transverse bulkhead forms to support extending reinforcing steel, shaped accurately to the cross- section of the pavement when placing of concrete is stopped. 4.3.1. Placing Reinforcement at Joints. Install reinforcing steel at transverse construction joints as shown on the plans. Use multiple-piece tie bars, drilled and epoxy-grouted tie bars, or mechanically inserted single-piece tie bars at longitudinal construction joints. Discontinue the use of mechanically inserted single-piece tie bars if this method results in steel misalignment or improper 111 location, poor concrete consolidation, or other inadequacies. Protect the reinforcing steel immediately beyond the construction joint from damage, vibration, and impact. For drilled and epoxy-grouted tie bars, drill holes into the existing concrete at least 10 in. deep unless otherwise directed. Use a drill bit with a diameter that is 1/8 in. greater than that of tie bars. Clean the holes using a wire brush and compressed air to remove all the dust and moisture. Only cartridge or machine applicator epoxies are allowed. Follow the epoxy manufacturer's instructions to apply the epoxy.

Testing of Epoxy-Grouted Longitudinal Bars in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements. When longitudinal reinforcing steel is drilled and epoxy- grouted in existing pavement, test each bar in accordance with ASTM E488, except that alternate approved equipment may be used. All bars must develop a pullout resistance equal to at least 3/4 of the yield strength of the steel. Test pullout resistance after the epoxy manufacturer's recommended final cure time. Perform corrective measures to provide equivalent pullout resistance if any of the test results do not meet the required minimum pullout strength. Repair damage from testing. 4.3.4. Transverse Construction Joints for Concrete Pavement Contraction Design (CPCD). Install and rigidly secure a complete joint assembly and bulkhead in the planned transverse contraction joint location when the placing of concrete is intentionally stopped. Install a transverse construction joint either at a planned transverse contraction joint location or mid-slab between planned transverse contraction joints when the placing of concrete is unintentionally stopped. Install tie bars of the size and spacing used in the longitudinal joints for mid-slab construction joints. Place dowels at mid-depth of the pavement slab, parallel to the surface. Place dowels for transverse contraction joints parallel to the pavement edge. Tolerances for location and alignment of dowels will be shown on the plans. For dowels used in a contraction joint, coat the entire length of the dowels with a thin film of grease, wax, silicone, or other approved de-bonding material. For dowels used in an expansion joint, coat half the length with a thin film of grease, wax, silicone, or other approved de-bonding material; provide dowel caps on the coated half of each dowel bar. 4.4. Curb Joints. Construct curb joints in accordance with Item 529. 4.5. Placing and Removing Forms. Use clean and oiled forms. Secure forms on a base or firm subgrade that is accurately graded and that provides stable support without deflection and movement by form riding equipment. Pin every form at least at the middle and near each end. Tightly join and key form sections together to prevent relative displacement. Set side forms far enough in advance of concrete placement to permit inspection. Check conformity of the grade, alignment, and stability of forms immediately before placing concrete, and make all necessary corrections. Use a straightedge or other approved method to test the top of forms to ensure that the ride quality requirements for the completed pavement will be met. Stop paving operations if AGTXDOT ITEM 360 -6 OF 16 The Solco Group, LLC REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) forms settle or deflect more than 1/8 in. under finishing operations. Reset forms to line and grade, and refinish the concrete surface to correct grade. Avoid damage to the edge of the pavement when removing side forms and bulkhead forms. Repair damage resulting from form removal with an approved repair material within 24 hr. after form removal unless otherwise approved. Chip excessively honeycombed areas to sound concrete, and repair with an approved repair material within 24 hr. after form removal unless otherwise approved. Clean joint face within 24 hr. after a bulkhead for a transverse construction joint has been removed unless otherwise approved. Promptly apply membrane curing compound to the edge of the concrete pavement when forms are removed before 72 hr. after concrete placement. Forms that are not the same depth as the pavement but within 2 in. of that depth are permitted if the subbase is trenched or the full width and length of the form base are supported with a firm material to produce the required pavement thickness. Promptly repair the form trench after use. Use flexible or curved wood or metal forms for curves of 100-ft. radius or less. 4.6. Concrete Delivery. Clean delivery equipment as necessary to prevent accumulation of old concrete before loading fresh concrete. Use agitated delivery equipment for concrete designed to have a slump of more than 5 in. Segregated concrete is subject to rejection. Begin the discharge of concrete delivered in agitated delivery equipment in accordance with Item 421. Place non-agitated concrete within 45 min. after batching. Reduce times as directed when hot weather or other conditions cause quick setting of the concrete. 4.7. Concrete Placement. Do not allow the pavement edge to deviate from the established paving line by more than 1/2 in. at any point. Place the concrete as near as possible to its final location, and minimize segregation and rehandling. Distribute concrete using shovels where hand spreading is necessary. Do not use rakes or vibrators to distribute concrete. 4.7.1. Consolidation. Consolidate all concrete using approved mechanical vibrators operated on the front of the paving equipment. Use immersion-type vibrators that simultaneously consolidate the full width of the placement when machine finishing. Keep vibrators from dislodging reinforcement. Use hand-operated vibrators to consolidate concrete for concrete pavement (formed) placements, and along forms, at all joints, and in areas not accessible to the machine- mounted vibrators. Do not operate machine-mounted vibrators while the paving equipment is stationary. Vibrator operations are subject to review. 4.7.2. Curbs. Curbs will be in accordance with Item 529. 4.7.3. Temperature Restrictions. Place concrete that is between 40°F and 95°F when measured in accordance with Tex-422-A at the time of discharge, except that concrete may be used if it was already in transit when the temperature was found TXDOT ITEM 360 -7 OF 16 Tiic The Solco Group, LLC REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) to exceed the allowable maximum. Take immediate corrective action or cease concrete production when the concrete temperature exceeds 95°F. Do not place concrete when the ambient temperature in the shade is below 40°F and falling, unless approved. Concrete may be placed when the ambient temperature in the shade is above 35°F and rising or above 40°F. Protect the pavement with an approved insulating material capable of protecting the concrete for the specified curing period when temperatures warrant protection against freezing. Submit for approval proposed measures to protect the concrete from anticipated freezing weather for the first 72 hr. after placement. Repair or replace all concrete damaged by freezing. 4.8. Spreading and Finishing. Finish all concrete pavement using approved self- propelled equipment. Use power-driven spreaders, power-driven vibrators, power-driven strike-off screed, or approved alternate equipment to strike-off the surface of the concrete to the required section and grade without surface voids. Use float equipment for final finishing. Use concrete with a consistency that allows completion of all finishing operations without addition of water to the surface. Use the minimal amount of water fog mist necessary to maintain a moist surface. Reduce fogging if float or straightedge operations result in excess slurry. 4.8.1. Finished Surface. Perform sufficient checks using a minimum 10-ft. long straightedge on the plastic concrete to ensure the final surface is within the tolerances specified in Surface Test A in accordance with Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces." Check with the straightedge parallel to the centerline. 4.8.2. Maintenance of Surface Moisture. Prevent surface drying of the pavement before application of the curing system by means that may include water fogging, the use of wind screens, or the use of evaporation retardants. Apply evaporation retardant at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Reapply the evaporation retardant as needed to maintain the concrete surface in a moist condition until curing system is applied. Do not use evaporation retardant as a finishing aid. Failure to take acceptable precautions to prevent surface drying of the pavement will be cause for shutdown of pavement operations. 4.8.3. Surface Texturing. Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Drag the carpet longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a satisfactory coarsely textured surface. Prevent grout from plugging the carpet. Do not perform carpet dragging operations while there is excessive bleed water. A metal-tine texture finish is required unless otherwise shown on the plans. Provide longitudinal tining unless otherwise shown on the plans. Immediately following the carpet drag, apply a single coat of evaporation retardant, if needed, at the rate recommended by the manufacturer. Provide the metal-tine finish immediately after the concrete surface has set enough for consistent tining. Operate the metal-tine device to obtain grooves approximately 3/16 in. deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in., and approximately 1/12 in. wide. Do not overlap a previously tined area. Use manual methods to achieve similar results on ramps, TXDOT ITEM 360 -8 OF 16 TO The Solco Group, LLC REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) small or irregular areas, and narrow width sections of pavements. Repair damage to the edge of the slab and joints immediately after texturing. Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid or that is scheduled for blanket diamond grinding or shot blasting. Target a carpet drag texture of 0.04 in., as measured by Tex-436-A, when carpet drag is the only surface texture required on the plans. Ensure adequate and consistent macro-texture is achieved by applying enough weight to the carpet and by keeping grout from plugging the carpet. Correct any location with a texture less than 0.03 in. by diamond grinding or shot blasting. The Engineer will determine the test locations at points located transversely to the direction of traffic in the outside wheel path. 4.8.4. Small, Irregular Area, or Narrow Width Placements. Use hand equipment and procedures that produce a consolidated and finished pavement section to the line and grade where machine placements and finishing of concrete pavement are not practical. 4.8.5. Emergency Procedures. Use hand-operated equipment for applying texture, evaporation retardant, and cure in the event of equipment breakdown. 4.9. Curing. Keep the concrete pavement surface from drying in accordance with Section 360.4.8.2., "Maintenance of Surface Moisture," until the curing material has been applied. Maintain and promptly repair damage to curing materials on exposed surfaces of concrete pavement continuously for at least 3 curing days. A curing day is defined as a 24-hr. period when either the temperature taken in the shade away from artificial heat is above 50°F for at least 19 hr. or the surface temperature of the concrete is maintained above 40°F for 24 hr. Curing begins when the concrete curing system has been applied. Stop concrete paving if curing compound is not being applied promptly and maintained adequately. Other methods of curing in accordance with Item 422 may be used when specified or approved. 4.9.1. Membrane Curing. Spray the concrete surface uniformly with two coats of membrane curing compound at an individual application rate of no more than 180 sq. ft. per gallon. Apply the curing compound before allowing the concrete surface to dry. Manage finishing and texturing operations to ensure placement of curing compound on a moist concrete surface, relatively free of bleed water, to prevent any plastic shrinkage from cracking. Time the application of curing compound to prevent plastic shrinkage from cracking. Maintain curing compounds in a uniformly agitated condition, free of settlement before and during application. Do not thin or dilute the curing compound. Apply additional compound at the same rate of coverage to correct damage where the coating shows discontinuities or other defects or if rain falls on the TXDOT ITEM 360 -9 OF 16 The Solco Group, LLC REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) newly coated surface before the film has dried enough to resist damage. Ensure that the curing compound coats the sides of the tining grooves. 4.9.2. Asphalt Curing. Apply a uniform coating of asphalt curing at a rate of 90 sq. ft.- 180 sq. ft. per gallon when an asphaltic concrete overlay is required. Apply curing immediately after texturing and once the free moisture (sheen) has disappeared. Obtain approval to add water to the emulsion to improve spray distribution. Maintain the asphalt application rate when using diluted emulsions. Maintain asphalt emulsions in a mixed condition during application. 4.9.3. Curing Class HES Concrete. Provide membrane curing in accordance with Section 360.4.9.1., "Membrane Curing," or wet mat curing in accordance with Section 422.4.8., "Final Curing,"for all Class HES concrete. 4.10. Sawing Joints. Saw joints to the depth shown on the plans as soon as sawing can be accomplished without damage to the pavement, regardless of time of day or weather conditions. Some minor raveling of the saw-cut is acceptable. Use a chalk line, string line, sawing template, or other approved method to provide a true joint alignment. Provide enough saws to match the paving production rate to ensure sawing completion at the earliest possible time to avoid uncontrolled cracking. The Engineer will evaluate the cause of the uncontrolled cracking and direct any necessary repairs. Reduce paving production if necessary to ensure timely sawing of joints. Promptly restore membrane cure damaged within the first 72 hr. of curing. The Engineer will check the depth of saw cuts in accordance with Tex-423-A within 24 hrs. after saw-cutting or before joints are sealed, whichever is sooner. Frequency of checks will be as follows: • every 500 ft. or fraction thereof for all longitudinal contraction joints, and • 10% of transverse contraction joints in CPCD for each daily placement.

Limits for applying a payment adjustment for deficient pavement thickness are 500 ft. units of pavement in each lane. Lane width will be as shown on typical sections and in conformance with pavement design standards. The limits for retaining deficient pavement without compensation or removing and replacing without additional compensation will be defined by coring or equivalent nondestructive means as determined by the Engineer. The remaining portion of the 500-ft. unit allowed for pay adjustment will be subject to the payment adjustment based on the average core thickness deficiency at each end of the 10-ft. interval investigation as determined by the Engineer. Shoulders will be measured for thickness unless otherwise shown on the plans. Shoulders 6 ft. wide or wider will be considered as lanes. Shoulders less than 6 ft. wide will be considered part of the adjacent lane. Shoulders less than 6 ft. wide and placed separately from the adjacent lane will be considered as a lane. Limits for applying payment adjustment for deficient pavement thickness for ramps, widenings, acceleration and deceleration lanes, and other miscellaneous areas are 500-ft. units. Areas less than 500-ft. units will be individually evaluated for payment adjustment based on the plan area. 4.15.1.2. Verification of Thickness Deficiencies. When any fresh depth test measured in accordance with Tex-423-A is deficient by more than 0.50 in. from the plan thickness, take one 4-in. diameter core at that location to verify the measurement. When determining the average thickness deficiency for assessing a pay adjustment other than retaining pavement without compensation or remove and replace as shown in Table 1, take at least two additional cores from the unit, in accordance with Section 360.4.15.1.1., "Assessing Payment Adjustments," equidistantly spaced from the first core in each direction if the first core is deficient by more than 0.50 in. from the plan thickness. Measure the length of cores in accordance with Tex-424-A. Determine the average thickness by averaging the lengths of the cores. Subtract the calculated average thickness from the plan thickness to determine the average thickness deficiency. In calculations of the average thickness, measurements exceeding the plan thickness by more than 0.2 in. will be considered as the plan thickness plus 0.2 in. TXDOT ITEM 360 - 13 OF 16 IgG The Solco Group,LLC REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) When determining the limits for retaining the deficient pavement without compensation or remove and replace without additional compensation, take additional cores at 10-ft. intervals in each direction parallel to the centerline to determine the boundary of the deficient area if the first core length deficiency is more than 1.00 in. for pavements less than 11 in. thick or more than 1.50 in. for pavements 11 in. or thicker.

Retroreflectivity Measurements. Use a mobile retroreflectometer to measure the retroreflectivity of markings for Contracts with more than 50,000 total ft. of longitudinal pavement markings, unless otherwise shown on the plans. For Contracts between 20,000 and 50,000 total ft. of longitudinal pavement markings, mobile or portable retroreflectometers may be used at the Contractor's discretion. Coordinate with and obtain authorization from the Engineer before starting any retroreflectivity data collection. Use a portable retroreflectometer for measuring the wet continuous retroreflectivity in accordance with ASTM E2832. Notify the Department when wet retroreflectivity measurements are to be taken. The Department will observe the wet retroreflectivity readings. 4.6.1. Mobile Retroreflectometer Measurements. Provide mobile measurement averages for every 0.1 mi. unless otherwise specified or approved. Take measurements on each section of roadway for each series of markings (e.g., edgeline, center skip line, and each line of a double line)and for each direction of traffic flow. Measure each line in both directions for centerlines on two-way roadways (i.e., measure both double solid lines in both directions and measure all center skip lines in both directions). Furnish measurements in accordance with Item 667, "Mobile Retroreflectivity Data Collection for Pavement Markings," unless otherwise approved. The Engineer may require a field comparison check using a calibrated portable retroreflectometer for verification and to ensure accuracy. Use all equipment in conformance with the manufacturer's recommendations and directions. Inform the Engineer and TTI at least 24 hr. before taking any measurements. A marking meets the retroreflectivity requirements if: • the combined average retroreflectivity measurement for a 1-mi. segment meets the minimum retroreflectivity values specified and no more than 30% of the retroreflectivity measurement values are below the minimum retroreflectivity requirements value within that 1-mi. segment; or • the combined average retroreflectivity measurement for a 1-mi. segment does not meet the minimum retroreflectivity values specified, but no more than 20% of the retroreflectivity measurements within that 1-mi. segment are below the minimum retroreflectivity requirement. The 1-mi. segment will start from the beginning of the data collection and end after a mile's worth of measurements have been taken. Each subsequent mile of The Solco Group, LLC TXDOT ITEM 666 -8 OF 12 RETROREFLECTORIZED PAVEMENT MARKINGS San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) measurements will be a new segment. Centerlines with two stripes (either solid or broken)will result in 2 mi. of data for each mile segment. Each centerline stripe must be tested for compliance as a stand-alone stripe. Restripe at the Contractor's expense if the markings fail retroreflectivity requirements. Take retroreflectivity measurements of all restriped markings following the time interval allowed based on the type of marking and the pavement surface for the latest application. For all Type I markings, if the restripe application does not meet minimum retroreflectivity requirements or the initial stripe combined with the restripe exceeds 0.180 in. (180 mils), the Engineer may require: • removal of all existing markings, • a new application as initially specified, and • a repeat of the application process until minimum retroreflectivity requirements are met. For all Type III markings, if the first application does not meet minimum retroreflectivity requirements, the Engineer may require removal of all existing markings, a new application as initially specified, and a repeat of the application process until minimum retroreflectivity requirements are met. 4.6.2. Portable Retroreflectometer Measurements. For non-all-weather markings, provide portable measurement averages for every 1.0 mi. unless otherwise specified or approved. Using a portable reflectometer, take at least 20 measurements for each 1-mi. section of roadway for each series of markings (e.g., edgeline, center skip line, and each line of a double line) and direction of traffic flow. Measure each line in both directions for centerlines on two-way roadways (i.e., measure both double solid lines in both directions and measure all center skip lines in both directions). The spacing between each measurement must be at least 100 ft. The Engineer may decrease the mileage frequency for measurements if the previous measurements provide satisfactory results. The Engineer may resume the original number of measurements if concerns arise. For all-weather markings, take at least three measurements for each series of markings (e.g., edgeline, center skip line, and each line of a double line) and direction of traffic flow and average the three measurements for each marking. The spacing between each measurement must be at least 100 ft. If the average of the three measurements taken on an individual marking falls below the minimum acceptable retroreflectivity value, take at least six additional measurements on that individual marking and average them. These six additional measurements must also be spaced at least 100 ft. apart. If the average of these six measurements falls below the minimum acceptable retroreflectivity value, the marking does not meet the performance requirements. Restripe at the Contractor's expense if the averages of these measurements fail. Retake portable retroreflectometer measurements of all restriped markings TRG The Solco Group, LLC TXDOT ITEM 666 -9 OF 12 RETROREFLECTORIZED PAVEMENT MARKINGS San Antonio Avenue Rehabilitation and Block Alley Reconstruction City of Port Arthur Contract No: 24-053) following the time interval allowed based on the type of marking and the pavement surface for the latest application. 4.7. Traffic Control. Provide traffic control, as required, when taking portable retroreflectivity measurements after marking application. For the minimum traffic control requirements on low-volume roadways (as shown on the plans), refer to "Temporary Road Closure" in Part 6 of the TMUTCD. For all other roadways, the minimum traffic control requirements will be as shown on the Traffic Control Plan (TCP) standard sheets TCP (3-1) and TCP (3-2). The lead vehicle will not be required on divided highways. The TCP and traffic control devices must meet the requirements listed in Item 502, "Barricades, Signs, and Traffic Handling." Time restrictions that apply during striping application will also apply during the retroreflectivity inspections, except when using the mobile retroreflectometer, unless otherwise shown on the plans or approved. 4.8. Performance Period. All longitudinal markings must meet the minimum retroreflectivity requirements within the timeframe specified. All markings must meet all other performance requirements in accordance with this Item for at least 30 calendar days after installation. Unless otherwise directed, remove pavement markings that fail to meet requirements and replace them at the Contractor's expense. Replace failing markings within 30 days of notification. All replacement markings must also meet all requirements in accordance with this Item for at least 30 calendar days after installation. 4.

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 E0, 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. 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 classification and wage rates that have been found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage determination. The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of ""identifiers"" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than ""SU"" or ""UAVG"" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which 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. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the ""SU"" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of Louisiana. 2012 is the year of 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. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state. The next number, 0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.) Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage and Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour National Office because National Office has responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write 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 the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.) If the decision of the Administrator is not favorable, an interested party may appeal directly to the Administrative Review Board (formerly the Wage Appeals Board). Write to: Administrative Review Board U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 4.) All decisions by the Administrative Review Board are final.
