SECTION 26 AGGREGATE BASES
26-1.01 GENERAL
Section 26 includes specifications for spreading and compacting AB.

26-1.02 MATERIALS

26-1.02A General

Aggregate for Class 2 and Class 3 AB must be clean and consist of any combination of the following:

1. Broken stone

2. Crushed gravel

3. Natural rough surfaced gravel

4. Sand

5. Processed reclaimed asphalt concrete, PCC, LCB, or CTB

Use either 1-1/2 inch or 3/4 inch aggregate grading. Do not change your selected aggregate grading without authorization.

If the aggregate grading test results, sand equivalent test results, or both comply with contract compliance requirements but not operating range requirements, you may continue placing AB for the remainder of the work day. Do not place additional AB until you demonstrate to the Engineer the AB to be placed complies with the operating range requirements. If the aggregate grading test results, sand equivalent test results, or both do not comply with contract compliance requirements, remove the AB or request a payment deduction. If your request is authorized,

$2.00/cu yd is deducted. If AB is paid by weight, the Engineer converts tons to cubic yards for the purpose of reducing payment for noncompliant AB left in place. An aggregate grading and a sand equivalent test represents up to (1) 500 cu yd or (2) 1 day's production if less than 500 cu yd.

When tested under California Test 202, aggregate must comply with the grading requirements for the sieve sizes shown in the following table:
