About this file

This is an HMA Mix Design Submittal form utilized by the City of Seattle, Washington for roadway construction projects involving hot-mix asphalt (HMA) paving operations. The document serves as a standardized submittal template for HMA paving contractors to provide detailed mix design information for city review and approval in accordance with WSDOT Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 732 "Volumetric Design for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA)." The form requires contractors to submit comprehensive technical data including project identification information, HMA class specifications (ranging from 3/8 inch to 1 inch sizes or other classifications), design ESALs, gyration levels, asphalt binder information for both primary and secondary suppliers, aggregate structure details with material sourcing and gradation requirements, and volumetric mix design data. The City of Seattle Materials Laboratory provides approval within 25 working days of receiving a complete mix design submittal, and contractors must certify that the job-mix formula (JMF) has been developed in accordance with WSDOT SOP 732 standards.

The submittal form requires detailed technical specifications including aggregate gradation percentages reported to the nearest tenth of a percent, specific gravity measurements, sand equivalency data with a minimum 45 percent requirement, coarse aggregate fracture specifications with 90 percent minimum on fractured faces across multiple sieve sizes, and flat and elongated particle limitations of 10 percent maximum. The HMA volumetric properties must demonstrate 4.0 percent air voids (Va) at Ndes design gyration levels for standard mixes or 7.0 percent for ATB (Asphalt Treated Base) classifications, with voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) and voids filled with asphalt (VFA) data required from replicate mixtures compacted to design gyration levels. Acceptable Gmm values at Nmax must not exceed 98.0 percent, and the final mix may contain up to 20 percent reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) by maximum weight. All contractors submitting asphalt materials under the City of Seattle's Roadway Construction Materials contract must comply with these HMA mix design requirements and provide 0.45 power charts demonstrating combined gradation against control points specific to the selected HMA class.

Aggregate Structure

In the table below, provide the “Material” identification (3/4”-0, RAP, etc.), “Source” (J-199, E-320, etc.), “Ratio” (45%, 20%, etc.), and the percent passing each sieve for each stockpile used in the mix design as well as the combined gradation and the specification requirements for the class of HMA used. Report all stockpile gradations to the nearest tenth of a percent. Report the combined gradation to the nearest whole percent except the U.S. No. 200, which must be reported to the nearest tenth of a percent. Attach a 0.45 power chart showing the combined gradation with control points for the class of mix submitted.

HMA Mix Design Data

In the Table below, provide the HMA volumetric mix design data determined by performing WSDOT SOP 732. The Va, VMA, VFA, and Gmb values must be determined from replicate mixtures compactd to the appropriate N design gyration level in accordance to Section 8.2 of SOP 732, back calculated values from replicate mixtures compacted to Nmax are not acceptable.

I certify this HMA job-mix formula (JMF) has been developed in accordance to WSDOT Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 732 “Volumetric Design for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA)”. The HMA JMF has been verified in accordance to section 10 of SOP 732 which consists of preparing replicate mixtures containing the selected design aggregate structure at each of the following binder contents: (1) the estimated design binder content, Pb (design); (2) 0.5 percent below Pb (design); 0.5 percent above Pb (design). I am aware, in accordance to City of Seattle Standard Specification 5-04.3(6)C1, that a response will be provided within 25 Working Days after a complete mix design submittal has been received at the SPU Materials Laboratory in Seattle.
