About this file
This document is a Departmental Materials Specification (DMS-9210) issued by the Materials and Tests Division governing the production, quality control, and quality assurance of native limestone rock asphalt (LRA) aggregate used for surface treatments and cold-mixed materials. The specification applies to projects requiring LRA aggregates for surface treatments as well as Type I and Type II LRA mixtures, which may include blends of native LRA aggregate, virgin aggregates, fluxing material, additives, and water. The specification establishes comprehensive material requirements, testing procedures, and quality standards for aggregate sources, with provisions for both listed sources in the Department's Bituminous Rated Source Quality Catalog (BRSQC) and non-listed sources that must be tested and approved by the Materials and Tests Division (MTD) within 30 calendar days. Production operations require a Level IA certified specialist to conduct sampling and testing, and producers must develop and obtain approval of a Quality Control Plan (QCP) before beginning production operations. The specification became effective in May 2019 and does not establish a specific contract term or renewal options but rather serves as an ongoing technical standard for material procurement and production.
The specification includes detailed requirements for material properties, equipment specifications, and testing frequencies for both the producer and MTD. Aggregate quality testing must meet specific standards including Los Angeles abrasion (maximum 40 percent for native LRA), magnesium sulfate soundness, and Micro-Deval abrasion tests, with fluxing material limited to kinematic viscosity between 60 and 200 cSt at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Production testing frequencies vary based on material type, with combined aggregate gradation samples required at minimum 1 per 300 tons for producer testing and 1 per 3,000 tons for MTD testing, and additional weekly or daily testing requirements for Hveem stability, laboratory-molded density, and bitumen content depending on mixture type. The specification does not include pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or funding sources, as it functions as a technical standard document rather than a procurement solicitation document.

1. DESCRIPTION
This specification governs the production, quality control, and quality assurance of native limestone rock asphalt (LRA) aggregate used for surface treatments, and of cold mixed material consisting of native LRA aggregate, fluxing material, water, and when specified, additives and virgin aggregates.
2. MATERIALS
2.1. LRA Aggregates for Surface Treatments. Provide LRA aggregates for surface treatments of the type, grade, and surface aggregate classification (SAC) shown on the plans or purchase order in accordance with the material requirements of Item 302, “Aggregates for Surface Treatments.”
2.2. Type I LRA and Type II LRA Mixtures. Type I LRA mixture consists entirely of native LRA aggregate, flux material, water, and additives. Type II LRA mixture consists of a blend of native LRA aggregate, virgin aggregates, fluxing material, additives, and water.
Provide LRA mixtures of the type, grade, and SAC shown on the plans or purchase order and in accordance with the following requirements.
2.3. Aggregate. Furnish aggregates from sources that conform to the requirements shown in Table 1A or Table 1B and as specified in this Section, unless otherwise shown on the plans. Provide aggregate stockpiles that meet the definition in this Section for either a coarse aggregate or fine aggregate. Supply mechanically crushed gravel or stone aggregates that meet the definitions in Tex-100-E. Materials and Tests Division (MTD) will designate the plant or the quarry as the sampling location. Samples must be from materials produced for the project. The Engineer will establish the SAC and MTD will perform Los Angeles abrasion, magnesium sulfate soundness, and Micro-Deval tests. Perform all other aggregate quality tests listed in Table 1A or Table 1B and document all test results. MTD may run tests on independent or split samples to verify Contractor test results. Stockpile aggregates for each source and type separately.
2.3.1. Coarse Aggregate. Coarse aggregate stockpiles must have no more than 20% material passing the No. 10 sieve. Provide aggregates from sources listed in the Department’s Bituminous Rated Source Quality Catalog (BRSQC). Provide non-listed sources only when tested by MTD and approved before use. Allow 30 calendar days for MTD to sample, test, and report results for non-listed sources.
Provide coarse aggregate with a minimum SAC as shown on the plans. SAC requirements apply only to aggregates used on the surface of travel lanes, unless otherwise shown on the plans. The SAC for sources on the Department’s Aggregate Quality Monitoring Program (AQMP) is listed in the BRSQC.
When a Type II LRA mixture is specified, Class B aggregate may be blended with Class A aggregate to meet requirements for Class A materials. When blending Class A and B aggregates to meet a Class A requirement, ensure that at least 50% by weight or volume of the material retained on the No. 4 sieve comes from the Class A aggregate source. Blend virgin aggregate with native LRA aggregate in the percentages shown in Table 4. When blending, do not use Class C aggregates.
2.3.2. LRA Aggregate. Native LRA aggregate consists of limestone impregnated with naturally occurring asphalt.
LRA aggregates that contain less than 1% of naturally occurring asphalt are defined as white rock. Each ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/cmd/mpl/brsqc.pdf ftp://ftp.dot.state.tx.us/pub/txdot-info/cmd/mpl/brsqc.pdf
Materials and Tests Division 2 – 10 EFFECTIVE DATE: MAY 2019 aggregate source proposed for use will be sampled and tested to determine compliance with Table 1A or Table 1B requirements before the addition of fluxing material, additives, and water.
2.3.3. Virgin Aggregate. Provide virgin aggregates that meet the requirements of Table 1A or Table 1B. Each aggregate source proposed for use will be sampled and tested to determine compliance with Table 1A or Table 1B requirements before the addition of fluxing material, additives, and water.
2.3.4. Fine Aggregate. Fine aggregate stockpiles must have no more than 30% material retained on the No. 10 sieve. Supply fine aggregates that are free from organic impurities. MTD may test the fine aggregate in accordance with Tex-408-A to verify that the material is free from organic impurities. Use only fine aggregates generated by the production and handling of LRA or the virgin coarse aggregate. Use LRA fine aggregate that has a naturally impregnated bitumen content of 5.0 to 8.5% when tested in accordance with Tex-236-F.
If 10% or more of the stockpile is retained on the No. 4 sieve, test the stockpile and verify that it meets the requirements in Table 1B for Coarse Aggregate Angularity (Tex-460-A) and Flat and Elongated Particles (Tex-280-F).
