The amount paid for will be the number of metric short tons of hot-mix asphalt mixture used in the accepted work. Hot-mix asphalt mixture shall be weighed after mixing, and no separate payment will be made for weight of asphalt cement material incorporated herein.Measurement of the quantity of hot-mix asphalt, per ton placed and accepted, shall be made for the purposes of assessing the pay factors stipulated below.
Quantities of hot-mix aspalt, determined as specified above, will be paid for at respective contract unit prices or at reduced prices adjusted in accordance with paragraphs PERCENT PAYMENT and QUALITY ASSURANCE. Payment
will constitute full compensation for furnishing all materials, equipment, plant, and tools; and for all labor and other incidentals necessary to complete work required by this section of the specification.The measured
quantity of hot-mixed asphalt will be paid for and included in the lump-sum contract price. If less than 100 percent payment is due based on the pay factors stipulated in paragraph QUALITY ASSURANCE, a unit price of
per ton will be used for purposes of calculating the payment reduction.
When a lot of material fails to meet the specification requirements for 100 percent pay as outlined in the following paragraphs, that lot shall be removed and replaced, or accepted at a reduced price which will be computed by multiplying the unit price by the lot's pay factor. The lot pay factor is determined by taking the lowest computed pay factor based on either laboratory air voids, in-place density, grade or smoothness (each discussed below). Pay factors based on different criteria (i.e., laboratory air voids and in-place density) of the same lot will not be multiplied together to get a lower lot pay factor. At the end of the project, an average of
all lot pay factors will be calculated. If this average lot pay factor exceeds 95.0 percent and no individual lot has a pay factor less than 75.1 percent, then the percent payment for the entire project will be 100 percent of the unit bid price. If the average lot pay factor is less than
95.0 percent, then each lot will be paid for at the unit price multiplied by the lot's pay factor. For any lots which are less than 2000 metric shorttons, a weighted lot pay factor will be used to calculate the average lot
pay factor.
