the project specification.
This guide specification only pertains to the
hot-mix asphalt aspects of the project and not to
any surface preparation requirements dealing with
aggregate base courses, milling, or tack and prime
coats. Surface preparation requirements should be
covered by either including them in this guide
specification or by adding pertinent sections to the
project documents.
This specification utilizes a Quality Assurance and
Quality Control (QA/QC) construction management
philosophy. Quality Assurance refers to the actions
performed by the Government or designated
representative Engineer to assure the final product
meets the job requirements. Results of QA testing
are the basis for pay. Quality Control refers to
the actions of the Contractor to monitor the
construction and production processes and to correct
these processes when out of control. Results of QC
testing are reported daily on the process control
charts maintained by the Contractor. Quality
Control is covered in paragraph CONTRACTOR QUALITY
CONTROL. Quality Assurance is covered in paragraph
MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE AND PERCENT PAYMENT.
