Technical Specifications

The approval of preliminary samples shall not be considered as a guarantee of acceptance of all
materials from the same source, nor the quality of such materials, and it is understood that the
Engineer shall reject all materials delivered on the work, which do not meet the requirements of
this Specification. No materials shall be used in the work until sampled, tested and found
satisfactory by the Engineer. The Contractor shall not be allowed any compensation for any
delays or damages sustained pending the completion of testing and approval. Any material,
which has been sampled and passed as satisfactory, may be re-sampled and retested at any time
before use at the discretion of the Engineer.

When test of materials such as cement, concrete, asphalt, steel, timber, etc. cannot be done in
the field laboratory due to lack of equipment, but are necessary, or required by the Engineer,
such test shall be at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall afford such facilities as
the Engineer may require for collecting and forwarding samples to an approved Laboratory.
The materials represented by the samples shall not be allowed to be incorporated into the work
until tests have been made, and the materials found to meet the requirements of the
Specifications. The Contractor in all cases shall furnish the required samples without charge.

In the absence of any definite Specifications or reference to Specifications given in the body of
the Standard Specification, or in the Special Provisions for the project, it shall be understood
that such materials shall meet the requirements of the Standard Specifications for highway
materials of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, or in the
event that no Specification has been officially adopted by said Association, such materials shall
meet the Specifications and requirements of the American Society for Testing Materials
(ASTM) or of other Road Associations as may be directed by the Engineer.

No pre-testing certificate of any materials to be incorporated into work shall necessarily be

acceptable.

The equipment with all accessories and supplies shall be adequate to carry the tests hereunder
and any other tests which may be required under the Contract or ordered to be made by the
Engineer. Unless otherwise stated, the tests shall be as specified under the following AASHTO
