106 - Acceptance of Work
106.01_nat_us_03_29_2005
106.01 Conformity with Contract Requirements.
Delete Subsection 106.01 and substitute the following:
Follow the requirements of FAR Clause 52.246-12 Inspection of Construction.
References to standard test methods of AASHTO, ASTM, GSA, and other recognized standard authorities refer to the methods in effect on the date of solicitation for bids.
Perform all work to the lines, grades, cross-sections, dimensions, and processes or material requirements shown on the plans or specified in the contract.
Incorporate manufactured materials into the work according to the manufacturer’s recommendations or to these specifications, whichever is more strict.
Plan dimensions and contract specification values are the values to be strived for and complied with as the design values from which any deviations are allowed. Perform work and provide material that is uniform in character and reasonably close to the prescribed value or within the specified tolerance range. The purpose of a tolerance range is to accommodate occasional minor variations from the median zone that are unavoidable for practical reasons.
When standard manufactured items are specified (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits, etc., that are identified by gauge, unit mass, section dimensions, etc.), the identification will be considered to be nominal masses or dimensions. Unless specific contract tolerances are noted, established manufacturing tolerances will be accepted.
The Government may inspect, sample, or test all work at any time before final acceptance of the project. When the Government tests work, copies of test reports are furnished to the Contractor upon request. Government tests may or may not be performed at the work site.
If Contractor testing and inspection is verified by the Government, the Contractor’s results may be used by the Government to evaluate work for acceptance. Do not rely on the availability of Government test results for process control.
Acceptable work conforming to the contract will be paid for at the contract unit bid price.
Four methods of determining conformity and accepting work are described in Subsections
106.02 to 106.05 inclusive. The primary method of acceptance is specified in each Section of work. However, work may be rejected at any time it is found by any of the methods not to comply with the contract.
Remove and replace work that does not conform to the contract, or to prevailing industry standards where no specific contract requirements are noted, at no cost to the Government.
(a) Disputing Government test results. If the accuracy of Government test results is disputed, promptly inform the CO. If the dispute is unresolved after reasonable steps are taken to resolve the dispute, further evaluation may be obtained by written request. Include a narrative describing the dispute and a proposed resolution protocol that addresses the following:
(1) Sampling method;
(2) Number of samples;
(3) Sample transport;
(4) Test procedures;
(5) Testing laboratories;
(6) Reporting;
(7) Estimated time and costs; and
(8) Validation process.
If the evaluation requires additional sampling or testing be performed, mutually agree with the Government on witnessing procedures and on sampling and testing by a third party laboratory. Use a third party laboratory accredited by the AASHTO accreditation program. Provide proof of the laboratory’s accreditation for the test procedures to be used. Do not use the same laboratory that produced the disputed Government test results or that produced the test results used as a basis for the dispute.
The CO will review the proposed resolution protocol and may modify it before final approval and execution.
The Government will use the approved resolution protocol test results to determine the validity of the disputed testing. If the Government test results are validated, the Contractor will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the Government test results are not validated, the Government will be responsible for all costs associated with developing and performing the resolution protocol. If the validity of the Government test results cannot be determined, the Contractor and Government will equally share all costs associated with developing and carrying out the resolution protocol.
(b) Alternatives to removing and replacing non-conforming work. As an alternative to removal and replacement, the Contractor may submit a written request to:
(1) Have the work accepted at a reduced price; or
(2) Be given permission to perform corrective measures to bring the work into conformity.
The request must contain supporting rationale and documentation. Include references or data justifying the proposal based on an evaluation of test results, effect on service life, value of material or work, quality, aesthetics, and other tangible engineering basis. The CO will determine disposition of the nonconforming work.

204.10_0503_us_01_26_2005
(b) Embankment within the roadway prism.
Delete section (b) and replace with the following:
Embankment placement method shall be METHOD 2-LAYER PLACEMENT
Specific Methods. Place all embankments using one or more of the following methods, as listed in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS:
(1) Method 1—Side Casting & End Dumping. Place embankment by side casting and end dumping. Build solid embankments by working smaller rocks and fines in with the larger rocks and fines to fill the voids.
(2) Method 2—Layer Placement. Roughen or step surfaces steeper than a ratio of 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3:1) upon which embankment is to be placed, when shown on plans, in order to provide permanent bonding of new and old materials.
Layer place embankment, except over rock surfaces. Over rock surfaces, place material by end dumping to the minimum depth needed for operation of spreading equipment.
Level and smooth each embankment layer before placement of subsequent layers.
Operate hauling and spreading equipment uniformly over the full width of each layer.
Place suitable material in layers no more than 12 inches thick, except when the material contains rock more than 9 inches in diameter, in which case layers may be of sufficient thickness to accommodate the material involved. Ensure that no layer exceeds 2 feet before compaction.
Placing individual rocks or boulders greater than 2 feet in diameter will be permitted, provided that the embankment will accommodate them and that they are at least 6 inches below the subgrade. Carefully distribute rocks and fill the voids with finer material to form a dense and compacted mass.
Where material containing large amounts of rock is used to construct embankments, make layers of sufficient thickness to accommodate the material involved. Construct a solid embankment with adequate compaction by working smaller rock and fines in with the larger rocks to fill the voids, and by operating hauling and spreading equipment uniformly over the full width of each layer as the embankment is constructed.
Ensure that material is at a moisture content suitable to obtain a mass that will not visibly deflect under the load of the hauling and spreading equipment. Field drain and dry excessively wet material that is otherwise suitable for embankment before placement.
(3) Method 3—Layer Placement (Roller Compaction). Place embankments as specified in method 2. Place in horizontal layers not exceeding 12 inches prior to compaction, except when the material contains rock more than 9 inches in diameter, in which case layers may be of sufficient thickness to accommodate the material involved. Obtain compaction using equipment listed in Subsection 204.11(a). Operate compaction equipment over the full width of each layer until visible deformation of the layer ceases or, in the case of the sheepsfoot roller, the roller “walks out” of the layer. Make at least three complete passes.
Method 4—Controlled Compaction. Place embankments as specified in method 2; but place earth embankments in horizontal layers not exceeding 12 inches (loose measure), and compact them. Ensure that the moisture content of material is suitable for attaining the required compaction. Compact the embankments and the top 12 inches of excavation sections to at least 95 percent of the maximum density, as determined by AASHTO T 99, method C or D.
Determine the density of the embankment material during the progress of the work, in accordance with AASHTO T 191, T 205, or T 238; and T 217, T 239, or T 255. Correct for coarse particles in accordance with AASHTO T 224.
Density requirements will not apply to portions of rock embankments that cannot be tested in accordance with approved methods. When this condition exists, accomplish compaction by working smaller rocks and fines in with the larger rocks to fill the voids and by operating equipment over the embankment materials.
(5) Method 5—Side casting, End Dumping, Layer Placement, and Controlled Compaction. Place embankment as specified in Method (1) until the minimum width necessary to operate the spreading equipment is obtained. Place the remainder of the embankment as specified in Method (2) except a minimum depth of 1 foot below subgrade to be placed as specified in Method (3). Embankments otherwise shown on the plans to be entirely placed as specified in Method (3).

For compaction according to method (a), (b), or (c), use AASHTO T 27 to determine the amount of material retained on a Number. 4 sieve. For compaction methods (d), (e), or (f) no sieve test is required.
Compaction method shall be Method (e) – ROLLER COMPACTION or (f)
MECHANICAL TAMPER
Add the following compaction methods:
(d) Hauling and Spreading Equipment. Adjust the moisture content to a level suitable for compaction. Compact the material by operating equipment over the full width of the roadway.
(e) Roller Compaction. Adjust the moisture content to a level suitable for compaction.
Operate Rollers over the full width of each layer until visual displacement ceases, but not fewer than three complete passes. Use rollers that meet the following requirements:
(1) Steel wheeled rollers, other than vibratory, capable of exerting a force of not less than 250 pounds per inch of width of the compression roll or rolls.
(2) Vibratory steel wheeled rollers equipped with amplitude and frequency controls with a minimum weight of 6 tons, specifically designed to compact the material on which it is used.
(3) Pneumatic-tired rollers with smooth tread tires of equal size that will provide a uniform compacting pressure for the full width of the roller and capable of exerting a ground pressure of at least 80 psi.
(4) Sheepsfoot, tamping, or grid rollers capable of exerting a force of 250 lbs/inch of width of roller drum.
(f) Mechanical Tamper. Adjust the moisture content of the backfill material to a moisture content suitable for compaction. Compact each 6 inch layer with a minimum of three complete passes with a mechanical tamper, approved by the CO.
204.12 Ditches.
Delete the entire subsection and replace it with the following:
204.12 Drainage Excavation.
