The Department will determine target IRI (T) of roadways containing multiple speed limits of greater than 35 MPH and less than or equal to 35 MPH based on the following equation: T1 L1 + T2 L2 + ⋯ … TN LN Target IRI of a roadway consists of N Roadway type (T) = L1+L2+ L3+ … . LN Where TN is the Target IRI of N section and LN is the length of N section in miles to the nearest 0.01 mile 2. Current average IRI (C) is the average of the latest available preconstruction IRI data. 3. The target IRI (T) is selected or calculated from the table and rounded to the nearest whole number. 4. Multiply T with 1.05 for HMA over Concrete, if total HMA after proposed treatment is less than 8 inch thick. 5. Milling is one operation. Paving each layer of asphalt mix is an individual operation unless plans specify paving a mix in two lifts. In such case, each lift is considered as an operation. 6. Construction or reconstruction of full pavement box on subgrade is new construction or reconstruction. 7. Use Pay Equation as below: IRI≤T PA=PAE* IRI>T PA=PAE *Positive Pay adjustment will be used to offset negative pay adjustment. Total pay
IRI≤T PA=PAE* IRI>T PA=PAE *Positive Pay adjustment will be used to offset negative pay adjustment. Total pay adjustment for each lane will not be greater than zero, but may result in a negative pay adjustment. 8. For paving over rubblized concrete, use C >286 to determine target IRI, then multiply T with 1.05 if total HMA after proposed treatment is less than 8-inch thick. 9 Paving in one lift with no corrective work such as milling, grinding or pre-levelling of at least 25 percent of surface area of existing pavement is one operation. b. Corrective Action. The Department may require corrective action or assess the maximum negative pay adjustment as computed in Table 401.03.07-7, if the average IRI after testing is performed of NHS or NJDOT jurisdiction roadway is greater than 170 inches per mile, or average IRI local roadway is greater than T+80 or 170 whichever is higher. If the Department requires corrective action submit a plan for corrective action. If the plan for corrective action is approved and the lot is corrected, the Department will retest and evaluate the corrected area as a new lot that must meet the same requirements as the initial work. If the plan for corrective action is not approved, the Department may require removal and replacement. The replacement work is subject to the same requirements as the initial work.

401.03.08 Core Samples REPLACE THIS SUBSECTION WITH THE FOLLOWING: The LPA will designate an independent testing agency (Laboratory) to perform the quality assurance sampling, testing and analysis. The Laboratory is required to be accredited by the AASHTO Accreditation Program (www.amrl.net). The Laboratory’s accreditation must include AASHTO T 166 and AASHTO T 209. The Laboratory Technician who performs the quality assurance sampling shall be certified by the Society of Asphalt Technologists of New Jersey as an Asphalt Plant Technologist, Level 2. Upon completion of an HMA lot, the Laboratory shall drill cores at random locations at least 12 hours after paving. Take cores in the presence of the RE. The Laboratory will determine air voids from 5 (Five) 6 inch diameter cores taken from each lot in random locations within the traveled way and at least one core in each travel lane. The HMA Coring Layout Sheet provided on the Local Aid Website must be utilized by the Laboratory to determine the random locations of the cores. The Laboratory may rerun the random location functions on the HMA Coring Layout Sheet to resolve any conflicts generated by the HMA Core Sampling Plan form and physical limitations of the HMA lot, such as utility conflicts, or the specifications defined herein. The Laboratory must disclose the contents of the HMA Core Sampling Plan with the Contractor to assist in the schedule of construction. The Laboratory shall use drilling equipment with a water-cooled, diamond-tipped masonry drill bit that produces 6 inch nominal diameter cores for the full depth of the pavement. The Laboratory shall remove the core from the pavement without damaging it. After the Laboratory removes the core, the Laboratory shall remove all water from the hole. The Laboratory shall apply an even coating of tack coat to sides of the hole. The Laboratory shall place cold patching material or HMA in maximum lifts of 4 inches in the hole and compact each lift. If cold patching material is utilized to fill the coring hole, then it is not necessary to apply tack coat to the sides of the hole. The Laboratory shall ensure that the final surface is 1/4 inch above the surrounding pavement surface. HMA cores are to be taken from the HMA lot for quality assurance sampling, testing and analysis within seven (7) days of completing the HMA lot. For test strip lots and the first
ng pavement surface. HMA cores are to be taken from the HMA lot for quality assurance sampling, testing and analysis within seven (7) days of completing the HMA lot. For test strip lots and the first traveled way lot, the Laboratory shall deliver cores from the field to the testing Laboratory within 48 hours of completing the lot. The Laboratory shall deliver all other acceptance cores within 7 days of completing the lot. After each air void lot is placed, the Laboratory shall drill cores so that the full depth of the course is recovered for air void acceptance testing. If thickness acceptance testing is required as specified in 401.03.07.I, the Laboratory shall drill the surface course air void cores for the full depth of pavement. The Laboratory shall utilize a tamper proof core sample box for core storage and transportation. The Laboratory shall ensure that the core sample box can be locked and sealed and is tamper proof in such a manner that it cannot be opened without removing the seals. The Laboratory shall ensure that the core sample box provides protection for the cores from being disturbed or damaged during transit. The Laboratory shall mark the assigned core number on the side of the sample. The Laboratory shall place core samples in the core sample box. The Laboratory shall transport the sealed core sample boxes to the testing Laboratory. The Laboratory will not accept damaged core samples for testing. If the core sample box exhibits indications of tampering, the core samples will be rejected. If any core samples are rejected, drill a replacement core at the same offset and within 5 feet of the original station and deliver to the Laboratory as specified above within 48 hours. If the project is utilizing quality control cores, the Laboratory shall provide the results of the quality control core testing to the Contractor in a timely manner which will not unnecessarily impede construction. 401.04 Measurement and Payment REPLACE THIS SUBSECTION WITH THE FOLLOWING: The Department will measure and make payment for Items as follows: HELEN AVE., LAWRENCE AVE., FLORENCE PL., AND LOWELL AVE., IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Page 49 of 76
