106.10(a) Buy America Provisions. Revise last paragraph to read as follows:

Products manufactured of foreign steel or iron materials may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such products as they are delivered to the project does not exceed 0.1% of the total contract amount, or $2,500, whichever is greater.

Add 106.11 BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA ACT PROVISIONS.

106.11 BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA ACT PROVISIONS—

September 10, 2026 08:41:41 AM Page 15 of 54

(a) Build America, Buy America Act. The Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Public Law 117-58) includes the Build America, Buy America Act that requires all iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used to be produced in the United States.

The term produced in the United States defined as:

1. Iron or Steel Products. All manufacturing processes from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings occurred in the United States according to Section 106.10(a).

2. Manufactured Product. Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.

2.a A manufactured product, not predominantly steel or iron, is defined as an article, material, or supply that has been processed into a specific form and shape, or combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2.b Predominantly steel or iron is defined as greater than or equal to 50 percent of the total cost of the manufactured product.

2.c Manufactured products that are predominantly steel or iron must comply with Buy America provisions according to Section 106.10(a).

2.d If an article, material, or supply meets this definition but could also be classified as an excluded material or other product category, that article, material, or supply is not a manufactured product.

2.e Mixtures of excluded materials delivered to a work site without final form for incorporation into a project are also not manufactured products.

2.f Manufactured products where the final assembly did not occur in the United States may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such manufactured products is no more than the lesser of $1 million or 5% of total applicable costs for the project.

3. Construction Materials.

3.a All manufacturing processes for construction materials occurred in the United States.

3.b Construction materials includes an article, material, or supply that is or consists primarily of:

1. Virgin Material Mixtures. Size, uniformly grade, and combine aggregate fractions, asphalt binder, and either WMA Technology additive(s) or modifier(s) in proportions to produce a JMF that conforms to the material, gradation, and volumetric Superpave Asphalt Mixture Design requirements according to Bulletin 27, Chapter 2A. Produce an asphalt mixture for the specified nominal maximum aggregate size and design ESALs except as procedurally modified by the WMA Technology Manufacturer Technical Representative (Technical Representative) to address laboratory procedures when preparing, compacting and testing asphalt mixtures to achieve a uniform blend. Special additive(s) or modifier(s) need not be used if mixture temperature, workability, and compaction can be achieved solely through plant mechanical modification to produce foamed asphalt. Do not incorporate the WMA Technology additive, modifier or process during the volumetric asphalt mixture design process, so that the JMF volumetrics and material percentages are based on a mixture with no WMA Technology. Only use the WMA Technology additive, modifier or process to evaluate results from moisture susceptibility testing during the mix design process. Develop an asphalt mixture JMF, then incorporate the WMA Technology additive, modifier, or process into that JMF during production. Create an asphalt JMF cover sheet (Form TR-448A) for approval containing the WMA Technology used, additive dosage rate or percent water added for foaming, material code, and the TSR data from the moisture susceptibility testing.

Submit a copy of each completed JMF, signed by a certified Asphalt Level 2 plant technician, to the DME/DMM at least 3 weeks before the planned start of mixture production. Include a list of all material sources and the asphalt mixture producer in the JMF.

Provide the calibration factors (Cf and 200 Cf) according to PTM No. 757 with the JMF. Do not start mixture production until after the DME/DMM reviews the JMF.

Submit a new JMF with a change in material sources or if a new JMF is necessary to produce a mixture conforming to this specification.

Percent Passing the 75 µm (No. 200) sieve.

If using printed ticket results in place of laboratory test results for asphalt content, certify that at least 90% of each day’s printed ticket results for asphalt content are within 0.2 percentage points of the JMF.

September 10, 2026 08:41:41 AM Page 20 of 54

If the mixture does not conform to the above requirements, do not certify the mixture. Instead, provide all QC test results to the Inspector-in-Charge. If using printed ticket results for asphalt content, provide the percentage of daily printed ticket results within 0.2 percentage points of the JMF to the Inspector-in-Charge. Payment will be determined according to Table H based on the QC test results.

If a day’s production is interrupted by corrective action, material produced after the corrective action may be certified if QC test results conform to production tolerances.

2.c Maintaining Approval to Certify Mixtures. The Department may suspend a plant’s approval to certify mixtures if QC is not performed according to the Producer QC Plan, mixtures are not produced according to Bulletin 27, a mixture cannot be certified on 2 consecutive production days, or as described below.

The Department may take IA samples of the completed mixture at the plant. In the presence of the Department, test the IA samples for asphalt content and gradation according to the test methods indicated in the Producer QC Plan. Take immediate corrective actions if the mixture does not conform to Table A.

The Department may take QA samples of the completed mixture at the plant or on the roadway directly from the uncompacted mixture placed by the paving equipment specified in Section 413.3(e). The Department will test QA samples according to PTM No. 757 or PTM No. 702, Modified Method D, if previously identified problematic aggregates are used in the mixture, for conformance to Table A. If the results of the QA samples do not comply with Table A, review the Producer QC Plan and the QC test results that followed the QA samples for conformance to Table A. If QC results do not conform to Table A, perform the corrective actions necessary to provide a mixture conforming to Table A.

After completing corrective actions or the sample review, the Department will perform an on-site evaluation of the Producer’s plant operation and QC and then take a sample of the completed mixture at the plant. In the presence of the Representative, test the sample.

If the sample does not comply with Table A, the Department will suspend certification. Immediately suspend shipping mixtures accepted by certification to the project.

After testing verifies that the produced mixture conforms to Tables A and B and with the Representative present, conduct JMF verification according to the Producer QC Plan. After successfully completing JMF verification, resume both certification and shipping mixtures accepted by certification to the project.

Section 413.3(a)2. Preplacement Meeting. Revise to read as follows:

2. Preplacement Meeting. At least 2 weeks before placing asphalt paving mixtures, schedule an asphalt preplacement meeting with the Representative to review at a minimum the specification, paving operation QC Plan, sequence of paving operations, asphalt mixture temperature checks, mixture acceptance, density acceptance and the care and custody of asphalt acceptance samples.

Section 413.3(d). Hauling Equipment. Revise to read as follows:

(d) Hauling Equipment. Haul the mixtures in tightly sealed vehicles that do not contain petroleum oils, solvents, or other materials that adversely affect asphalt mixture. Provide covers of sufficient size and quality to protect the entire load under all conditions.

Maintain the proper and uniform placement temperature as specified in Section 413.3(h)1. Provide insulation on all sides of the truck body, a double-walled truck body, or a heated truck body when the air temperature is below 50F from October 1 to April 30. Provide a 3/8-inch diameter hole near the center and approximately two-thirds the distance down from the top of the vehicular box, on both sides, to allow for asphalt mixture temperature checks. If trucks cannot be provided with these holes, provide the Representative with two infrared temperature devices along with documentation that the devices were verified annually through an independent verification service or with a blackbody calibration block before paving for asphalt mixture temperature checks.

Section 413.3(f). Rollers. Revise to read as follows:

(f) Rollers. Use steel wheel, pneumatic tire, vibratory, or oscillating rollers as specified in Sections 108.05(c)3.a, 3.b, 3.c, 3.e, 3.f, 3.h, or (c)4. Operate rollers according to manufacturer's recommendations. Use vibratory and oscillating rollers with separate controls for frequency and amplitude.

Section 413.3(h)1.a. Placing. Revise to read as follows:

1.a Placing. Unless otherwise allowed or indicated, deliver, place, and compact asphalt paving mixtures during daylight hours.

Ensure the mixture does not contain lumps of cold material. Deliver and place mixtures at the laying temperatures specified in Table A for the type and class of material used. Do not incorporate any material delivered outside the temperature limits as specified in Table A. Material placed outside the temperature limits as specified in Table A is defective.

September 10, 2026 08:41:41 AM Page 21 of 54

Utilize a Material Transfer Vehicle (MTV) as specified in Section 108.05(c)5 for RPS pavements unless otherwise approved by the Representative.

Section 413.3(h)1.e. Safety Edge. Revise to read as follows:

1.e. Safety Edge. Construct the Safety Edge as the standard edge treatment on the outside edge of asphalt pavements and shoulders. Use the Safety Edge for both wearing and binder courses with a depth of 1.5 inches or greater. Do not place the Safety Edge at total depths greater than 5 inches. The Safety Edge is not required where curb or sidewalk are encountered or where the face of guiderail is directly over the edge of pavements. Do not place the Safety Edge for base, leveling, or scratch courses.

Construct the Safety Edge with the same material used to construct the roadway course being placed or, if specified, the paved shoulders. Attach a device to the paver to confine material at the end gate and extrude the asphalt material in a wedge shape. Use an adjustable device that allows the operator to vary the slope extruded at the paver to account for the angle becoming steeper during compaction (roll up). Before construction, the Safety Edge device must be approved by the Representative(s).

Compact the roadway or paved shoulder as required by the specifications. Do not delay rolling of the mat adjacent to the Safety Edge. After compaction of the mat is complete, provide a Safety Edge meeting the final shape requirements as shown on the Standard Drawings. The completed angle of the Safety Edge must be 26 degrees to 40 degrees measured from the pavement cross slope extended. At the beginning of each day’s paving, measure the angle of the Safety Edge from the pavement cross slope extended. Perform measurements after final compaction is complete. If the angle of the Safety Edge does not meet the slope requirements, stop paving, and provide corrective action. Do not resume production paving until final shape requirements of Safety Edge are achieved.

Allow automatic transition to intersections, driveways, guiderail sections, and obstructions.

Use the device to constrain the asphalt head, reducing the area and increasing the density of the extruded profile. A single plate strike-off method is not allowed. Do not place the Safety Edge on organic material.

Section 413.3(h)2.a.1. Partially Completed Lots (n=2 or less). Revise to read as follows:

2.a.1 Partially Completed Lots (n=2 or less). When process conditions change to an extent that a partially completed lot cannot be combined with the most recently completed lot, samples will be independently evaluated on the partially completed lot. For asphalt content and percent passing the 75 μm (No. 200) sieve, mixture acceptance samples will be evaluated individually as specified in Section 413.2(e), Table A (n=1) criteria. For density, mat density acceptance samples will be evaluated individually using the criteria in Table E.

If samples tested for asphalt content and percent passing the 75 μm (No. 200) sieve meet the n=1 criteria of Table A, and samples tested for density meet the criteria in Table E, payment will be 100% of the contract unit price. If samples tested for asphalt content and percent passing the 75 μm (No. 200) sieve do not meet the n=1 criteria of Table A, the material will be considered defective. If samples tested for density are no more than 2.0% below the minimum or no more than 2.0% above the maximum limits of Table E, payment will be 90% of the contract unit price. If samples for density are more than 2.0% below the minimum or more than 2.0% above the maximum limits of Table E, the pavement will be considered defective.

Unless otherwise directed in writing by the District Executive, remove and replace defective work.

No additional revisions were made to Section 413.3(h)2.a.1.

Section 413.3(h)2.c.1. LTS Testing. Revise to read as follows:

2.c.1 LTS Testing. The LTS will test the mixture acceptance samples according to PTM No. 757 or PTM No. 702, Modified Method D and PTM No. 739, if previously identified problematic aggregates are used in the mixture, to determine asphalt content and the percent passing the 75 μm (No. 200) sieve. The LTS will use the calibration factors (Cf and 200 Cf) provided with the JMF for PTM No. 757. For individual increment test results outside of the single sample (n=1) tolerances in Table A, the LTS will analyze the test results for extreme values according to PTM No. 4 at the 5% significance level. If discarding an extreme value reduces a lot to less than three remaining test results, the Department will accept the lot as specified in Section 413.3(h)2.a.1. The Department will accept lots with three or more test results as specified in Section 413.4(a)4 or Section 413.4(b).

If the asphalt content or the percent passing the 75 μm (No. 200) sieve is not within the single sample (n=1) or multiple sample (n≥3) tolerances in Table A for two consecutive lots or a total of three lots, stop all production of the JMF. Determine the cause of the problem and provide a proposed solution to the Department.

Do not resume production of the JMF until the Representative reviews the proposed solution and authorizes production to continue.
