Pozzolan from Nonprequalified Sources
Pozzolan, if not from a prequalified source, will be sampled at the source
or at the site of the work and will be stored in sealed bins pending
completion of acceptance tests. Pozzolan may be resampled at the site when
determined necessary. All sampling and testing will be performed by and at
the expense of the Government. Release for shipment and approval for use
will be based on compliance with seven day lime-pozzolan strength
requirements and other physical, chemical, and uniformity requirements for
which tests can be completed by the time the seven day lime-pozzolan
strength test is completed. Release for shipment and approval for use on
this basis will be contingent on continuing compliance with the other
requirements of the specifications. If test results of a bin fail, the
contents may be resampled and tested at the Contractor's expense. The
Government will supervise or perform the unsealing and resealing of bins
and shipping conveyances. If tested pozzolan is rehandled at transfer
points, the extra cost of inspection will be at the Contractor's expense.
The cost of testing excess pozzolan in excess of project requirements will
be at the Contractor's expense at a rate of [_____] dollars per test. The
amount will be deducted from payment to the Contractor.
