Sec. 110-58. Provisions for acceptance of non-specification materials.

The following provides for corrective actions to be taken and/or provisions for accepting a street into the city system when test results indicate non-specification materials or workmanship have been incorporated into the project. Any penalties, which are assessed, shall be paid to the city by the owner/developer before a street will be accepted by the city:

(1) Density for embankment, subgrade, pipe backfill, and crushed stone base course: Recompact until the minimum density is obtained.

(2) Depth of crushed stone base course. The depth of the crushed stone base shall be within plus or minus one-half inch of the required depth. If the deficient depth is greater than one-half inch, the existing material represented by the test will be ripped up, new added and recompacted to the proper density. If the average of all depth measurements is less than the required depth shown of the approved design, the deficient depth will be added to the required depth of the surface course or concrete pavement. Any depth in excess of plus one-half inch will not be used in computing the average depth.

(3) Density for asphalt treated base. When any individual density is below 93 percent, the section represented by this test will be removed and replaced. The average of all densities shall be 95 percent or greater. If the average density of the project is below 95 percent the material shall be removed and replaced or the following penalties shall be assessed as determined by the director of planning and community development:
PercentPercent of cost of in-place material
94.5 to 94.910
94.0 to 94.425
93.0 to 93.950
Below 93.0Remove and replace

(4) Density of cement-treated base. When any individual density is below 93 percent the section represented by this test will be removed and replaced. The average of all densities shall be 95 percent or greater. If the average density of the project is below 95 percent the following penalties shall be assessed:
PercentPercent of cost of in-place material
94.5 to 94.910
94.0 to 94.425
93.0 to 93.950
Below 93.0Remove and replace

(5) Depth of asphalt-treated base or cement-treated base. The depth of the asphalt-treated base or the cement-treated base shall be within plus or minus one-half inch of the required depth. If the average of all depth measurements is less than the depth required, the deficient depth will be added to the required depth of the surface course or concrete pavement. Any depth in excess of plus one-half inch will not be used in computing the average depth.

(6) Density of ACHM binder and surface. No individual density shall be lower than 90 percent of maximum theoretical design mix density. Any section with a density below that value shall be removed and replaced. The average of all densities for the project shall be not less than 92 percent of maximum theoretical design mix density. If this average is less than 92 percent, the material shall be removed and replaced or the following penalties shall be assessed as determined by the director of planning and community development:
PercentPercent of cost of in-place material
91.5 to 91.95
91.0 to 91.410
90.5 to 90.925
90.0 to 90.450
Below 90.0Remove and replace

(7) Depth of ACHM binder. The depth of the binder shall be within plus or minus one-half inch of the required depth. If the average of all depth measurements is less than the approved design depth, the deficient depth will be added to the required depth of the surface course or concrete pavement. Any depth in excess of plus one-half inch will not be used in computing the average depth.

(8) Depth of ACHM surface. The depth of the asphalt hot mix surface course shall be within plus or minus three-eights inch of the required depth plus any additional depth required due to deficient depths in the base and binder course. The average of all depth measurements shall not be less than the required depth, and any depth in excess of plus three-eights inch will not be used in computing the average depth. If the average depth is less than the required depth, it will be corrected by overlaying with additional ACHM surface, or as directed by the planning and community development director or his/her designated representative.

(9) Surface tolerance of ACHM surface. If the surface deviation is greater than one-fourth inch when checked with a ten-foot straightedge, the surface smoothness will be corrected as directed by the planning and community development director or his/her designated representative.

(10) Structural concrete strength. The average 28-day compressive strength of the two cylinders of a set shall be at least 3,000 psi. If the average strength is lower, the material shall be removed and replaced or the following penalties shall be assessed as determined by the director of planning and community development.
PsiPercent of cost of in-place material
2,750-2,99910
2,500-2,74915
2,250-2,49925
2,000-2,24950
Below 2,000Remove and replace

(11) Concrete pavement strength. The average 28-day compressive strength of the two cylinders of a set shall be at least 4,000 psi. If the average strength is lower, the material shall be removed and replaced or the following penalties shall be assessed as determined by the director of planning and community development:
PsiPercent of cost of in-place material
3,500-3,99910
3,000-3,49915
2,750-2,99920
2,500-2,74925
2,250-2,49950
Below 2,250Remove and replace

(12) Concrete pavement depth. The concrete pavement depths shall be within plus or minus three-eights inch of the required depth plus any additional depth required as a result of a deficient subbase depth. The average of all depth measurements shall not be less than the required depth, and any depth in excess of plus three-eights inch will not be used in computing the average depth. If the average depth is less than the required depth, the material shall be removed and replaced or the following penalties shall be assessed as determined by the director of planning and community development:
Deficient depthPercent of cost of in-place material
Req. depth to -- 1/8 inch5
Minus 1/8 to 1/4 inch10
Minus 1/4 to 3/8 inch15
Minus 3/8 to 1/2 inch25
Minus 1/2 to 5/8 inch35
Minus 5/8 to 3/4 inch50
More than -- 3/4 inchRemove and replace

(13) Concrete pavement surface. The concrete surface shall not show any deviation greater than one-fourth inch when checked with a ten-foot straightedge. Any deviation greater than this shall be corrected by grinding, removing and replacing, or as directed by the planning and community development director or his/her designated representative.
