se the initial core results to determine reduction per lot. If an outlier is detected for N = 10, the Contractor may replace that core by taking an additional core at the same offset and within 5 feet of the original station. If the outlier replacement core is not taken within 15 days, the Laboratory will use the initial core results to determine the reduction per lot. 6. Retest. If the initial series of 5 cores produces a percent defective value of PD  30 for mainline or ramp lots, or PD  50 for other pavement lots, the Contractor may elect to take an additional set of 5 cores at random locations chosen by the HMA Core Sampling Plan form. Take the additional cores within 15 days of receipt of the initial core results. If the additional cores are not taken within the 15 days, the Laboratory will use the initial core results to determine the PPA. If the additional cores are taken, the Laboratory will recalculate the reduction per lot using the combined results from the 10 cores. 7. Removal and Replacement. If the final lot PD ≥ 75 (based on the combined set of 10 cores or 5 cores if the Contractor does not take additional cores), remove and replace the lot and all overlying work. The replacement HELEN AVE., LAWRENCE AVE., FLORENCE PL., AND LOWELL AVE., IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Page 44 of 76

work is subject to the same requirements as the initial work. For shoulder lots, the Department will assess the calculated reduction per lot instead of removal and replacement. Fog seal the lot as specified in 422.03.01. I. Thickness Requirements DELETE THIS SUBSECTION AND REPLACE THIS SUBSECTION’S CONTENTS WITH THE FOLLOWING: This subsection is deleted. In no instance will a compacted average thickness of less than 1.25 inches be acceptable. J. Ride Quality Requirements. The Department will evaluate the ride quality of the final riding surface of all constructed pavement on the project, for routes designated as National Highway System (NHS) and routes under NJDOT jurisdiction, using the International Roughness Index (IRI) according to ASTM E 1926. All NHS roadways are listed on the Department’s website here. The Department may evaluate ride quality of other routes not designated as NHS or under NJDOT jurisdiction. The final riding surface is defined as the last lift of the pavement structure where traffic will be allowed. The pavement will be evaluated using the current average IRI (C) to select the target IRI (T) from Table 401.03.07- 8. The current average IRI (C) is defined as the preconstruction ride quality measured not more than two years from the start of the project pavement construction. The RE will designate an independent testing agency to perform the ride quality testing and analysis. The testing agency is required to comply with testing and certification requirements according to NJDOT R-1. If the current average IRI (C) is not available, then the testing agency will test, analyze and report ride quality before pavement construction to measure current average IRI (C). The testing agency will use and submit to the RE the IRI Testing Summary Report form provided from The Local Aid District Office and verify manually the pay adjustment calculation. Current IRI data for paving routes designated NHS or NJDOT jurisdiction can be made available by request by contacting Shahid Haji and Peter Brzostowski at Shahid.Haji@dot.nj.gov and Peter.Brzostowski@dot.nj.gov. Municipal or county officials may request IRI information through this process. Contractors, consultants, and bidding parties shall not request IRI values through this process for

ot.nj.gov. Municipal or county officials may request IRI information through this process. Contractors, consultants, and bidding parties shall not request IRI values through this process for their own benefit. For projects paving routes designated NHS or NJDOT jurisdiction on mainline travel lanes equal to or greater than 2,500 feet length and any lane within the project of at least 1,000 feet length, the Department will evaluate the ride quality of the final riding surface of the mainline travel lanes using IRI. The Department will use the measured IRI to calculate the pay adjustment (PA) using pay adjustment equation (PAE) type PA1 as specified in Table 401.03.07- 7. PA will be based on lots of 0.01 mile length. The PA will be zero for acceptable quality and negative for inferior quality work. For projects paving routes designated NHS or NJDOT jurisdiction on mainline travel lanes of less than 2,500 feet length, the RE will visually inspect the final riding surface. Based on visual inspection, if the RE determines that the work may not conform to the ride quality requirements, then the Department will evaluate the ride quality of the final riding surface using IRI. Visual inspection by the RE is considered sufficient grounds for such evaluation. The Department will use the measured IRI to calculate the PA using pay equation type PA1 as specified in Table 401.03.07-7. For paving on ramps and shoulders, the RE will visually inspect the final riding surface. Based on visual inspection, if the RE determines that the work may not conform to the ride quality requirements, then the Department will evaluate the ride quality of the final riding surface using IRI. Visual inspection by the RE is considered sufficient grounds for such evaluation. The Department will use the measured IRI to calculate the pay adjustment using pay equation type PA2 as specified in Table 401.03.07-7. When paving over bridge structures on NHS or NJDOT jurisdiction roadways, the Department will use the measured IRI to calculate the pay adjustment using pay equation type PA3 as specified in Table 401.03.07-7.

For paving on Local roadways other than NHS and NJDOT jurisdiction on mainline travel lanes equal to or greater than 2,500 feet length and any lane within the project of at least 1,000 feet length, the Department may evaluate the ride quality of the final riding surface of the mainline travel lanes using IRI. Local roadways are defined as municipal and county roads that are not designated as part of the NHS. The Department will use the measured IRI to calculate the pay adjustment (PA) using pay adjustment equation (PAE) type PA4 as specified in Table 401.03.07-7. 1. Smoothness Measurement. The Department will test the longitudinal profile of the final riding surface for ride quality with a Class 1 Inertial Profiling System according to NJDOT R-1. If project conditions preclude the use of the Class 1 Inertial Profiling System, the Department will use a Class 1 Walking Profiler or lightweight profiler. 2. Quality Control Testing. Perform quality control testing during lift placement to ensure compliance with the ride quality requirements specified in Table 401.03.07-8. 3. Preparation for IRI Testing. Notify the RE when all paving is complete and the RE will request IRI testing by independent testing agency. Provide traffic control when the independent testing agency performs IRI testing. Perform mechanical sweeping of the surface before IRI testing. To facilitate auto triggering on laser profilers, place a single line of temporary pavement marking tape perpendicular to the roadway baseline at the beginning and end of each lane, shoulder, and ramp to be tested or as per direction of the independent testing agency. Submit the actual stationing for each temporary pavement marking tape location to the RE. 4. Quality Acceptance. The Department will determine acceptance and provide PA based on the following: a. Pay Adjustment. The acceptable IRI for the roadway pavement will be the target IRI (T) from Table 401.03.07-8 rounded to the nearest whole number for which full payment will be made and will be determined using the latest available current average IRI (C) data. The number of lots for final pay adjustment will be reduced by the number of lots excluded for each segment shown in Table 401.03.07-7.

available current average IRI (C) data. The number of lots for final pay adjustment will be reduced by the number of lots excluded for each segment shown in Table 401.03.07-7. Lots excluded from final PA will be those with the highest recorded IRI numbers for respective roadway and bridge deck segments. A single average IRI value and the corresponding PA for each 0.01 mile lot will be reported. IRI units are in inches per mile.
