.3 References. .1 This specification refers to the following standards, specifications or

publications:

• ASTM E 950 Standard Test Method for Measuring the Longitudinal Profile of Travelled Surfaces with an Accelerometer Established Inertial Profiling Reference

.4 Smoothness Testing Procedures. A quality assurance consultant will conduct

smoothness testing in accordance with ASTM E 950. The results will be provided to BHOI and will be used in determining applicable payment adjustments and/ or areas requiring Corrective Work.

.1 Testing Schedule - Smoothness testing will be conducted within 3 working

days following completion of final contract paving, provided there are no situations present which restrict access to the test site with the profiler equipment. Additional time may be required to conduct testing if weather conditions are unfavorable. Efforts will be made to collect smoothness data within the 3 working days, however, if not possible, smoothness testing may be delayed until conditions are favorable. Such delays shall not constitute grounds for a claim from the Contractor.

.2 Profile Measurements - The profiler will conduct three (3) complete passes in

each lane, recording the right and left wheel path IRI values simultaneously at 10 meter intervals. The final IRI will be the average of the three passes reported at 10 meter intervals. The 100 meter interval averages will then be computed from the 10 meter interval average IRI values. On ramps the point at where testing will start / end will be where the full pavement width occurs.

.3 Exclusions - Bridges, underpass structures and overpass structures located

within any 10 meter segment, including the 10 meter segments immediately before and after the structure shall be excluded from payment adjustments under this specification. Areas requiring hand work, tapers, gore areas, aprons, traffic counter loops, etc. will also be excluded from this specification. A new 100 meter segment shall begin following exclusion areas.

.4 Joints - The first 10 meter segment (start joint) and the last segment, 10 meters

or less, (end joint) of each paving section as part of this contract will be included in the profile measurements.

.5 Payment Adjustments. BHOI will provide the Contractor with a copy of the

smoothness test results, including detailed payment adjustment summaries and Compulsory Corrective Work or Mandatory Penalty requirements, within 10 calendar days of original smoothness testing.

.1 100 Metre Segments - Payment adjustments for 100 meter segments will be calculated based on the overall average IRI in mm/m for each 100 meter

.1 If the sample used in carrying out ASTM D698 has greater than 5% but less than 30% of oversize particles (retained on the 19 mm sieve), the maximum dry density will be the corrected value determined as per ASTM D4718.

.2 If the material being placed in the Work has a percentage of oversize particles more than

5% higher or lower than the percentage in the sample of 936.2.2.1, the maximum dry density will be the value calculated using the actual field percentage of oversize, as per ASTM D4718.

.3 For coarse granular materials and Aggregate Subbase the maximum dry density will be

determined as per ASTM D4253. .3 For Aggregate Base/Subbase and soil, the Developer shall take all necessary measures to

ensure that the moisture content is such that compaction is achieved in accordance with 936.2.1 and the following:

.1 For Aggregate Base/Subbase, the moisture content shall be such that compaction is

achieved without adversely breaking down or segregating the aggregate (such that its gradation falls outside the specified grading limits, as determined by sieve analyses on random samples of the compacted in-place material).

.1 The moisture content shall not be less than 3%.

.2 For soils placed in the top 1.2 m to Subgrade in embankments, the moisture content shall

be a value not greater than the optimum moisture content as defined by ASTM D698 or the saturated moisture content as defined by ASTM D4253, and such that no rutting damage, as defined by 933.1.4.1, occurs upon completion of compaction.

.4 The Developer shall note that the moisture density relationship (maximum dry density - optimum

moisture content), and more precisely the moisture density relationship at a specified compactive effort, is a unique parameter for each soil and/or aggregate matrix considered, and the Developer shall be responsible for the placement of the material at the appropriate moisture content for compaction efficiency.

.5 The energy imparted to the soil shall be sufficient to achieve the specified density, as

determined by one of the following ASTM tests: D1556, D2167 or D2922. .6 No subsequent lifts shall be placed until the preceding lift has been verified as meeting the

minimum compaction criteria defined.

ADJUSTMENT 1:  Based on OHMPA’s price index and Assumed Asphalt Cement Content 

Details 

BHOI will adjust payments to the Contractor under TCHP Item 260 and Item 261 based on the changes to MTO’s PG asphalt cement price index.  The price index is published monthly and is available on the OHMPA website as follows: 

www.ohmpa.org 

The price index will be based on the price (excluding taxes, FOB the depots in the Toronto area) of asphalt cement grade PG 58‐28 or equivalent.  One index will be used to establish and calculate the payment adjustment for all grades. 

A payment adjustment of asphalt cement will be established for each month in which paving occurs when the price index for the month differs by more than 5% from the price index for the month prior to Tender Opening.  If the price index differential is less than 5%, there will be no payment adjustment established for that month.  Payment Adjustment 1 for changes in the price index is independent of any other payment adjustments made to the hot/warm mix tender items. 

The payment adjustment to the base price will be calculated by using the assumed asphalt cement content as specified in Tender (RFP) in the hot / warm mix accepted into the Work during the month for which it is established.  The payment adjustment for the month will be calculated using the following formulae:
