A technical representative from the additive supplier shall be on the site for the fust full day of construction for tecbnical assistance.

403.03 Composition and Preparation of Mixtures.

THE ENTIRE SIIBSECTION TEXT IS CHANGED TO:

A job mix formula (JMF) for each mixture shall be submitted, which shall include a statement naming the source of each component and a report showing the results meet the criteria specified in Table 403-1.

The JMF for each mixture shall establish the percentage of dry weight of aggregate passing each required sieve size and an optimum percentage of asphalt binder based upon the weight of the total mix. The optimum asphalt content for OGFC will be determined according to amended Section 990, Test Method B-12. The optimum asphalt content for MOGFC will be determined according to amended Section 990, Test Method B-l l. The JMF shall be within the design range specifred in Table 403-1.

The Contractor shall prepare compacted test specimens for submittal to the Contracting Agency Laboratory at least four (4) weeks prior to the initial production date. These specimens shall be prepared from material mixed according to the final JMF, using 50 gyrations of the Superpave gyratory cornpactor according to AASHTO T 312. Two (2) specimens will be tested to verify that the final JMF produces a mixture that has a minimum air void content as specified in Table 403-1. Percent air voids will be determined using AASHTO T 209 and either Section 990, NJDOT 8-6 or

AASHTO TP 69.

If required by the Regional Materials Engineer (RME), six (6) specimens will be tested according to AASHTO T

283. For MOGFC, the freeze-thaw option will be utilized. The minimum tensile strength ratio (TSR) will be 80 percent.

Should the ratio fall below this minimum, adjust the mixture so as to satisfy the minimum requirement. Adjustments may include the use of anti-stoipping agents.

For MOGFC only, two (2) test specimens will be tested for abrasion and impact resistance using a modified L.A.

Abrasion Test as per amended Section 990, NJDOT B-11, Section C.6. The maximum loss as calculated by this method shall not be more than 30 percent.

The JMF for each mixture shall be in effect until modification is approved.

SECTION 00 90 01 Page 15

During production, one (l) random acceptance sample will be taken from each lot of 300 tons to verify composition. Air voids and draindown tests shall be conducted as directed by the Conhacting Officer.

If the composition testing results are out of the production control tolerances specified in Table 403-2 for an acceptance sample, the Contractor shall determine if a plant adjustment is needed and immediately run a quality control sanrple. If the quality contol sample is also out of the control tolerances in Table 403-2, corrective action shall be taken immediately. Additional quality control samples shall be taken after the corrective action to ensure that the mix is under control. If two (2) consecutive acceptance samples are outside the tolerances specified in Table 403-2, production shall stop immediately. A plant correction shall be made prior to resuming production. Upon restarting production, no mixture shall be transported to the project before the results of a quality control sample from the mixture indicate that the mixhue meets JMF tolerances. Any mixture produced at initial restarting that does not meet tolerances will be rejected.

Sampling will be performed according to Section 990, NJDOT B-2 or ASTM D 3665. Testing for composition will be performed according to AASHTO T 164, AASHTO T 308, or Section 990, NJDOT B-5. Testing for draindown will be performed according to amended Section 990, Test Method B-11.
