Footnote 28: The terms Bitumen and/or Asphalt refers to any material with the similar
characteristic as the common bitumen and/or asphalt [All types of Base Course (BC),
Intermediate Course (IC), Service Course (SC), Wearing Course etc, Bitumen Binder of all
types]. Hence all tests mentioned regarding bitumen and/or asphalt shall be carried out for
any material with the similar characteristics as bitumen and/or asphalt at the specified
frequency.

Footnote 29: Bitumen testing will have to be carried out by the Contractor at the specified
frequency, irrespective of the fact whether the same tests have been carried out by the
bitumen manufacturer or supplier.

32
Footnote 32: 1 test (or 1 sample) refers to a pair of adjacent cores (150 mm diameter for
intermediate and base course and 100 mm diameter for wearing course). If asphalt is layed
in two or more layers for any of the course, the coring and testing shall be completed for the
first layer before the commencement of asphalt laying for the subsequent layer(s).
