PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Contractor Performance Checklist

Tasks and Critical

Subtasks Quality Standards Acceptable Quality Level Means of Measurement Penalties Incentives

Roadbed Moisture Content (MC) Determination

• Blade Roadbed when adequate MC is present

• Apply water or aerate as needed.

• Optimum MC for aggregate surfaces is 6-8% + 2% depending on the amount of fines.

• Optimum MC for native surfaces is 12-20% depending on amount and type of fines.

• Optimum MC to insure mixing, processing, lay down and compaction.

• Recognized Industry Standards for blading aggregate surfaced and native surface roads.

• Contractor maintained MC during blading so that processed materials are well mixed and finished surfaces are smooth and compacted.

• Aggregate surfaces tight and non-raveling.

• Recognized Industry Quality workmanship.

• Government may inspect during all operations to satisfy that adequate MC is present.

• Contractor performance substantiates that optimum MC and recognized Industry Standards are being met.

• Contractor may be required to re-work, at their expense, the unacceptable section when the MC returns to within acceptable range

• Government may withhold full or partial compensation for that section

• Contractor may receive poor performance rating

• Contract may be terminated with repeated deficiencies.

• Contractor would receive a superior performance rating

• Government would likely exercise renewal option for one more season if such option is part of the contract.

• Visual verification.

• Measurement with standard survey equipment such as level, rod, etc.

• Contractor may be required to re-work, at their expense, the unacceptable portions of work

• Contractor may receive poor performance rating

• Contract may be terminated with repeated deficiencies.

• Contractor may be required to replace any aggregate lost that can not be recovered.
