Surfacing required for access road, including their maintenance with the limitations specified in paragraph "MAINTENANCE" shall be measured by the cubic yard satisfactorily placed.
Measurement will be made by the cubic yard in approved vehicles at the site of the work.
Allowance will not be made for wastage or shrinkage during transportation from car or other point of loading.

The Government may reject all loads hauled in non-approved vehicles. Upon delivery of each load at the jobsite and prior to the Contractor's measurement of each load, the Contractor shall "level-off" each load within the approved vehicles so that an accurate measurement of each load can be made. After leveling off the load, the Contractor's Quality Control personnel shall measure each load at the site of work. The Government will inspect each load, check its yardage and witness the Contractor's measurement of each load. In lieu of vehicle delivery outlined above, the Contractor may use weights and a conversion factor to determine the cubic yard quantity of each vehicle. If this method is used the following procedures will be followed:
1.3 PAYMENT
Payment for the surfacing material required for the access road, including their maintenance with the limitations specified in paragraph "MAINTENANCE" will be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for "Surfacing".
