a. The Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law (RTKL), 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-3104, applies to this Contract.

b. If the Department needs assistance in any matter arising out of the RTKL related to this Contract, the Department will notify the Contractor using the legal contact information provided in this Contract. The Contractor, at any time, may designate a different contact for such purpose upon reasonable prior written notice to the Department.

c. Upon written notification from the Department that it requires assistance in responding to a request under the RTKL for information related to this Contract that may be in the Contractor’s possession, constituting, or alleged to constitute, a public record in accordance with the RTKL (“Requested Information”), the Contractor will:

Information and may be a public record under the RTKL; and

2. Provide such other assistance as the Department may reasonably request, in order to comply with the RTKL with respect to this Contract.

d. If the Contractor considers the Requested Information to include a request for a Trade Secret or Confidential Proprietary Information, as those terms are defined by the RTKL, or other information that the Contractor considers exempt from production under the RTKL, notify the Department and provide, within 7 calendar days of receiving the written notification, a written statement signed by a representative of the Contractor explaining why the requested material is exempt from public disclosure under the RTKL.

e. The Department will rely upon the written statement from the Contractor in denying a RTKL request for the Requested Information unless the Department determines that the Requested Information is clearly not protected from disclosure under the RTKL. Should the Department determine that the Requested Information is clearly not exempt from disclosure, provide the Requested Information within 7 calendar days of receipt of written notification of the Department’s determination.

f. Failing to provide the Requested Information within the time period required by these provisions, indemnify and hold the Department harmless for any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the Department may incur as a result of this failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the Department.

h. The Contractor may file a legal challenge to any Department decision to release a record to the public with the Office of Open Records, or in the Pennsylvania Courts, however, indemnify the Department for any legal expenses incurred by the Department as a result of such a challenge and hold the Department harmless for any damages, penalties, costs, detriment or harm that the Department may incur as a result of the failure, including any statutory damages assessed against the Department, regardless of the outcome of such legal challenge. As between the parties, agree to waive all rights or remedies that may be available as a result of the Department’s disclosure of Requested information pursuant to the RTKL.

i. The Contractor’s duties relating to the RTKL are continuing duties that survive the expiration of this Contract and continue as long as the Requested Information remains in the Contractor's possession.

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.

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.

Page 17 of 101October 5, 2026 14:09:45 PM

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.

Section 413.3(m). Tests for Depth: Binder and Wearing Courses. Revise to read as follows:•

(m) Tests for Depth: Binder and Wearing Courses. Construct the pavement to the depth indicated and within the specified tolerances.

For courses with a designed course depth and density acceptance by non-movement or optimum rolling pattern, the Inspector will calculate the weight per square yard for verification of yield. If yield results indicate insufficient course depth, drill one 6-inch diameter core for each 500 tons of material placed to determine the extent of the deficient depth as defined below. Core locations will be determined according to PTM No. 1.

For courses with density acceptance by lots, the inspector will measure the depth of each sublot according to PTM No. 737 using the density acceptance samples. After the Inspector completes depth measurements, backfill, compact, and seal core holes with the mixture used to construct the course. Deficient depth core(s) resulting in defective work should not be submitted for density acceptance testing. Once the defective work has been removed and replaced, obtain a new density acceptance sample for the sublot(s) as specified in Section 413.3(j)4.c.

Pavement deficient in depth by more than 1/8 inch in three or more adjacent acceptance core locations is defective. The extent of the defective work is the entirety of all sublots represented by the adjacent deficient acceptance core samples. The defective course will be the full width of the affected lane.

Pavement deficient in depth by more than 1/4 inch at a single acceptance core location is defective. Immediately delineate the limits of pavement deficient in depth from the acceptance core location by proceeding longitudinally, forward and backward, obtaining additional pavement cores every 50 feet until the depth is within 1/4 inch of the design depth. The defective course will be the full width of the affected lane.
