SPECIFICATIONS

Specifications

GENERAL SPECIAL PROVISIONS:

1. The intent of this Agreement is to secure 3/8” chip seal aggregate material for the 2023 chip seal season.

Therefore, ACHD is requiring complete production and delivery of all products by July 14, 2023.

2. The stockpile site for the chip seal aggregate will be at:

a. Goose Creek Storage Site – West Goose Creek Road, Ada County, Idaho.

3. The Contractor is required to prepare the source site location. The cost to complete this work shall be incidental to the total cost of the project and no additional payment will be made. Th Contractor is required to provide material within the identified stockpile site at the direction of ACHD. A site survey of stockpile location must be completed by ACHD prior to any material being delivered to get baseline floor elevations for stockpile. ACHD will then survey the stockpile at the end of the crushing operation to verify quantities.

No material shall be hauled out of that stockpile until said survey is completed and quantities verified.

4. The Contractor shall provide for weighing of all material produced and accepted. Weighing shall be by use of belt scales, platform scales, or public scales. The scales shall have been certified within the last two

(2) months as to accuracy of within one percent (1%) at any weight. The scales shall comply with all State laws and the Contractor shall, at his expense, have the scales checked as often as the Project Manager may deem necessary to ensure accuracy. Records of scale certifications and scale checks shall be made available to ACHD upon request.

5. The Contractor shall be responsible for source royalties in the pit they plan to crush in.

6. ACHD reserves the right to increase or decrease any or all of the quantities on this project as dictated by budgetary constraints with no change in unit prices.

7. For other information pertaining to the stockpile site and the general stockpile limits within the site, the Contractor is directed to contact Rich Shaw, Cloverdale Maintenance Superintendent, at 208-387-6352 or 208-484-0389.

8. The 3/8-inch aggregate produced under this Agreement will be stockpiled by stacking conveyors by ACHD to reduce the footprint of the stockpile area. It is not acceptable to construct a haul ramp and drive material handling equipment on finished aggregate product.

9. Type and frequency of material testing by Contractor:

a. The Contractor shall maintain records of all testing on site and submit all results daily to Dylan Grzebyk by email at dgrzebyk@achdidhao.org or fax at 208-387-6289.

b. Testing samples shall be taken from the conveyor belt and random areas of the stockpile.

(1) Fractured Faces: One (1) test per 1000 tons with a minimum of two (2) tests per day*.

(2) Gradations: One (1) test per 1000 tons with a minimum of two (2) tests per day*.

(3) Cleanliness Value: One (1) test per 1000 tons.

(4) Percent Wear (Los Angeles Abrasion Test – AASHTO T-96): One (1) test for source acceptance.

(5) Soundness of Aggregate by Use of Sodium Sulfate or Magnesium Sulfate (AASHTO T-104): One (1) test for source acceptance.

* Where the day’s production is less than 1000 tons, the minimum testing requirement will be one (1) test.

10. ACHD reserves the right to perform Quality Assurance (QA) testing at random times and at whatever frequency ACHD chooses. Although the contractor may perform their Quality Control (QC) testing from either the belt or the stockpile, ACHD’s QA testing will come solely from the stockpile. Material acceptance will be based upon ACHD’s QA testing of blended samples from within the stockpile.

11. Safety:

The Contractor shall be solely and completely responsible for safety conditions at the job site, including safety of all persons (including employees) and property during performance of the Work. This requirement shall apply continuously and not be limited to normal working hours.

When any of these requirements are in conflict, the more stringent requirement shall be followed. The Contractor’s failure to thoroughly familiarize himself with all safety requirements shall not relieve him from compliance with the obligations and penalties set forth herein.

The Contractor shall develop and maintain for the duration of the Work, a safety program that will effectively incorporate and implement all required safety provisions. The Contractor shall appoint an employee who is qualified and authorized to supervise and enforce compliance with the safety program.

The duty of the Resident Engineer to conduct construction reviews of the Contractor’s work is not intended to include a review or approval of the adequacy of the Contractor’s safety supervisor, the safety program, or any safety measures taken in, on, or near the construction site.

The Contractor, as part of his safety program, shall maintain at the job site, safety equipment applicable to the work prescribed by the aforementioned authorities, all articles necessary for giving first-aid to the injured, and shall establish the procedure for the immediate removal to a hospital or a doctor’s care of persons (including employees) who may be injured on the job site.

Contractor shall designate a qualified and experienced safety representative at the Work site whose duties and responsibilities shall be the prevention of accidents and the maintaining and supervising of safety precautions and programs.

If a claim is made by anyone against the Contractor, or any Subcontractor on account of any accident, the Contractor shall promptly report the facts in writing to the Owner, giving full details of the claim.

12. Material Specifications:

(1) Chip seal aggregate material shall meet the applicable requirements of Section 802 and 808 of the 2017 Idaho Standards for Public Works Construction (ISPWC).

(2) The material for this item shall be screenings of crushed stone or crushed aggregate. Material shall consist of clean, durable fragments free from an excess of flat, elongated, soft or disintegrated pieces, clay balls or other objectionable material.

(3) Produced chips shall have a clean, crisp appearance, and be free from adherent films of clay or rock dust. If chips do not meet a cleanliness value of 86, as per Idaho Transportation Department T-72-95, they shall be washed thoroughly. If the chips require washing, it will be considered as incidental to this item and no additional compensation will be allowed. The ACHD source site is equipped with a well that is available for the Contractor to utilize. The well produces an average flow of 3500 gallons /hour; however, ACHD does not guarantee this rate.

(4) The material shall not exceed wear of more than 40%, at 500 revolutions, as determined by AASHTO T-96 (Los Angeles Abrasion Test). The abrasion test shall be run using a 5,000-gram sample charge of material between the 3/8-inch and Number 4 sieves with an abrasive charge of 8-balls.

(5) Chips shall be manufactured by crushing and screening material that has first been screened in such a manner that not less than 95% of the material for crushing, when tested by laboratory methods, is retained on a sieve having 3/4-inch square openings.

(6) Aggregate material shall be tested for soundness in accordance with AASHTO T-104. The number of cycles shall be five (5); the solution shall be sodium sulfate; and the maximum loss shall not exceed twelve percent (12%).

(7) The filler or coarse aggregate, or a composite mixture thereof, shall show no detrimental amount of stripping when tested in accordance with AASHTO T-165. The minimum retained strength between the dry and wet samples shall be 75%. The minimum dry strength shall be not less than 195-pounds per square inch.

(8) For all gradings, that portion of the aggregate passing a No. 40 sieve, shall have a liquid limit of not more than 25 and a plasticity index of not more than 6, as determined by AASHTO T-89 and T-90.

(9) The crushing shall result in a product such that at least 70% of the material retained on a No. 4 mesh sieve will have at least two fractured faces, as determined by AASHTO TP-61.

(10) When tested by AASHTO Methods T-11 and T-27, in conjunction with water wash, chips shall meet the grading requirements established in the following table.

Sieve Designation Percent of Weight Passing Sieves

1/2-inch Sieve (12.5 mm) 100%

3/8-inch Sieve (9.5 mm) 95 - 100%

No. 4 Sieve (4.75 mm) 0 - 5%

No. 8 Sieve (2.36 mm) 0 - 3%

No. 200 Sieve (0.075 mm) 0 - 2%

(11) Non-Compliance with any of the above specifications will result in rejection of the chips produced during the entire day the chips are in non-compliance. If the chips that are in non-compliance are combined with chips that have been produced on previous days the entire pile containing the non-compliant chips shall be considered contaminated and therefore rejected.

13. Liquidated damages for this contract shall be $500.00 per calendar day.
