I.M. 101 Review of Materials

Used in Const. & Maint. Projects

April 17, 2012 Matls. IM 101 Supersedes October 19, 2010

1

Office of Materials

REVIEW OF MATERIALS USED IN CONSTRUCTION & MAINTENANCE PROJECTS PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide guidance to the District Materials Offices and Project Engineers for reviewing documentation of materials accepted into construction and maintenance projects. These reviews are intended to determine compliance with the Contract Documents, prescribed methods of acceptance, sampling, testing and the requirements of Federal Regulation 23 CFR 637. The results of the District Materials Engineer’s (DME’s) final review of materials used provides the basis of certification of conformance with approved plans and Specifications by the Highway Division to the FHWA. OBJECTIVES To provide the following: Guidelines for identifying projects that require materials auditing Guidelines for small quantities of materials Guidance for maintaining and disposition of project materials files Description of the review process Identification of forms used in the materials review Guidelines for documenting non-compliance issues PROJECTS REQUIRING A FINAL REVIEW BY DME The District Materials Engineer will conduct a final review of materials used in all Interstate, and Primary construction and maintenance projects. The District Materials Engineer will conduct a final review of materials used in construction and maintenance projects on Parks and Institutional Roads and roads for other State agencies only when Iowa DOT Standard Specifications are used for the project. The level of review performed by the District Materials Engineer for local agency projects is determined by the type of funding and location of the project, as described in IM 103. The Administering Office (either Systems Planning or District Local Systems), in consultation with the District Materials Engineer, may either require a materials review of all local agency Federal-aid projects or review only selected local agency Federal-aid projects using the systems approach described below.


2

SYSTEM APPROACH TO FINAL MATERIALS REVIEW A minimum of one federal aid project per local agency will be reviewed per year. The Administering Office, in consultation with the District Materials Engineer will determine if more than one project should be reviewed in any particular local agency due to issues found during a project’s final review. Ideally, the construction final records/quantity review and District Materials Engineer’s final materials review should be conducted on the same project. The District Materials Engineers will report annually to the Materials Engineer their findings on the final reviews performed on local agency projects. Findings will include shortages or acceptance of materials in manners that vary from IM 204, IM 204 Supplemental or the contract documents. MATERIALS DOCUMENTATION NOT REQUIRING REVIEW Certain materials incorporated into a project will not be included in the materials review when the quantities involved are below those listed in Appendix A. Typically, these are low-risk items that will not have a significant impact on the value, performance or longevity of the overall project. The effort needed to account for these quantities exceeds the purpose of the review. The normal method of acceptance by the Project Engineer is not to vary from those described in IM 204 or other relevant IMs. Appendix A provides a guide in determining what materials and the maximum quantities that may be waived from the final materials review. MAINTENANCE & DISPOSITION OF PROJECT FILES For active projects that require a final materials review, files with all materials documentation are to be maintained by both the Project Engineer and District Materials Engineer. Project & District Materials Files: During the project, these files are to be kept current with all materials documentation needed for materials acceptance. During the District Materials Engineer’s final materials review, copies of materials documentation may need to be added to the District Materials file from the Project Engineer’s file. Upon completion of the District Materials Engineer’s final materials review, the District Materials file is delivered to the Office of Materials. Once Central Materials Administration has completed either certification to FHWA and/or billing to counties/cities, the Project file is sent to Electronic Records Management System (ERMS) Support Team.


3

GUIDELINES FOR PERFORMING THE MATERIALS REVIEW The District Materials Engineer compares the required method of acceptance as described in IM 204, IM 204 Supplemental and the contract documents with information on the material review sheets prepared by the Project Engineer. Combining more than one project onto one set of material review sheets may be allowed under the following conditions: Tied under one contract Similar types of work Materials or mixtures furnished to the projects are from a common plant or source, making it

difficult to separate quantities to each individual project (i.e., HMA, PCC or aggregates).

NOTE: Projects should be maintained in separate files with a copy of the combined project review sheets placed in each project file.

The material review sheets are found on the Materials Office website http://www.iowadot.gov/materials/auditforms.xls. They provide a format and guidance in summarizing the materials documentation for various types of work. These sheets are completed by the Project Engineer and submitted to the District Materials Engineer. The Miscellaneous Materials sheet is used for documenting items that are not identified on the sheets representing specific types of work. The Miscellaneous Materials sheet may be used to supplement any of the review sheets. Documentation on the review sheets should normally be prepared using the following form for the various methods of acceptance: Approved Brand/Source Identify only the brand or source of the material with no

specific quantity. Approved Brand/Source and/or Batch Identify only the brand or source of the material and the

lot or batch used with no specific quantity. Certified Materials Identify the quantity of the material certified by the

supplier (except materials represented on a plant report).

Plant Reports Identify the quantity of mixture required and the

quantity represented on plant reports. Tests Identify the required number of tests and the actual

tests reported to the project.


4

Fabrication Reports Identify the number of units represented by fabrication reports (i.e., number of beams, lbs., etc.).

All materials are to be documented on the review sheet except materials considered as Small Quantities, (Appendix A). Small Quantity items need not be documented on the review sheets. The review of a material item may be considered acceptable if at least 98% of the required documentation for the material used is accounted for in the project file. The agency person responsible for preparing the review quantities, in each category, shall date and sign the signature line representing the Project Engineer’s Office. NONCOMPLIANT TESTS The Project Engineer furnishes the summary Noncompliant Tests or Measurements of Material Incorporated into the Project. The Project Engineer attaches this summary to the Final Payment Form #830436. When acceptance of noncompliant materials is made by a means other than using established price adjustment schedules, the basis of acceptance requires an explanation by the District Materials Engineer. Deviations from the prescribed sampling and testing frequency or the basis of acceptance as described in IM 204, also require an explanation. Explanations for issues described above should be addressed to Materials Administration with copies to the Project Engineer and the project file.

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROCEDURES Project materials quality assurance inspection services and other materials associated services provided to counties, cities, and other state agencies will be billed to them. For Category 2-4 projects, a written request outlining the services requested must be submitted from the contracting authority to the DME. A copy will be forwarded to the Office of Construction and Materials. For Category 1 projects no written request is required.

A. Invoicing for Materials Inspection.

The Office of Construction and Materials will invoice counties and cities as follows:

1. Invoicing for project inspection costs will be based on a cost per test basis, which is calculated at the beginning of the calendar year using a running average of the previous four years' cost and work experience. These rates shall apply to inspection performed during that calendar year. Invoicing for requested investigations or surveys for location, quantity, or quality of material resources will be based on actual total time, mileage and expense costs incurred in the investigation or survey.

2. For Federal Aid and County Farm to Market and qualifying State-Assisted Projects,

the invoices will be prepared and forwarded to the Office of Accounting for all inspection performed upon processing of the project final estimates.

3. For other projects, except when other arrangements are made, an invoice will be

prepared at the end of the calendar year and forwarded to the Office of Accounting invoices for all inspection performed to date on the basis of contract quantities. If a county or city wishes to be billed at the completion of a project they must notify the District Materials Engineer of the project completion and request a billing.

B. Equipment Calibration The DME will assist the local agency in witnessing the calibration of PCC and HMA

equipment for Category 1-3 Projects and Category 4 projects (FM projects only). C. Source Inspection

Source inspection will include manufactured materials including precast and prestress plants listed in IM 204 (except steel fabrication plants) as well as aggregate sources. When

I.M. 202 Procedure for

Rounding

April 20, 2010 Matls. IM 202 New Issue

Office of Materials

****THIS IS A NEW IM. – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.****

PROCEDURE FOR ROUNDING DATA

SCOPE When comparing test data to the specification limit, a uniform method is used to round the data. When a rounding method is not specified elsewhere for the test data, the method to be used is the Rounding Method in ASTM E29 except that the rounding procedure in section 6.4.3 is replaced as below and 6.4.4 is eliminated.

6.4.3 When the digit next beyond the last place to be retained is 5, and there are no digits beyond this 5, or only zeros, increase by 1 the digit in the last place retained.

When the Iowa DOT provides a computer program or spreadsheet for reporting test results, the rounding procedure will be as reported by the computer software. PROCEDURE The modified ASTM E29 rounding procedures and rounding method are: A. Determine the last digit to be used.

1. The last digit to be used may be specified in the test procedure. An example of this would be in IM 316, “Report the modulus of rupture to the

nearest 5 psi”.

2. For comparing a test result to the specification, the last digit in the specification limit is used to round the test result (unless noted in the specification).

An example of this would be the slump for structural concrete in Article 2403,

“…allowing a maximum of 4 inches as a tolerance.” If the test result for a slump test was 4 ¼”, the result would be within the tolerance because it rounds to 4. If the maximum was stated as, “…allowing a maximum of 4.0 inches as a tolerance”; then the result 4 ¼” would be outside the tolerance.

B. Rounding Procedure 1. If the digit following the last digit to be used is less than 5, do not change the last digit used.

Example: 1.861 would round to 1.86 for the nearest 0.01

2. If the digit following the last digit to be used is more than 5, raise the last digit used one number.

Example: 1.861 would round to 1.9 for the nearest 0.1

April 20, 2010 Matls. IM 202 New Issue

2

3. If the digit following the last digit to be used is exactly 5, raise the last digit used one

number. Example: 1.851 would round to 1.9 for the nearest 0.1

C. Rounding Procedure for 50, 5, 0.5, 0.05, etc.

To round to the nearest 50, 5, 0.5, or 0.05: 1. Double the number you are rounding. 2. Round that number to the nearest 100, 10, 1, or 0.1 using the procedure in B above. 3. Divide this rounded number by 2.

Example: Round 1.811 to 0.05 1.811 X 2= 3.622

3.622 rounds to 3.6 3.6 / 2 = 1.80 is the result of rounding 1.811 to the nearest 0.05.

D. Rounding Procedure for other increments; 0.02, 0.25, etc. To round to the nearest 0.02, or 0.25: 1. Divide the number you are rounding by the increment. 2. Round that number to the nearest whole number using the procedure in B above. 3. Multiply this rounded number by the increment.

Example: Round 1.811 to 0.25 1.811 / 0.25= 7.244

7.244 rounds to 7 7 X .25 = 1.75 the result of rounding 1.811 to the nearest 0.25.

E. Rounding Procedure for fractions. To round fractions, they must first be converted to a decimal. Then the procedures B through D can be used.

Office of Materials

CONSULTATION PROVIDED BY MATERIALS PERSONNEL ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

INTRODUCTION In addition to the routine duties associated with the inspection of materials, assurance sampling and testing, and certain laboratory operations, the District Materials Engineer (DME) is required to monitor Quality Control and acceptance procedures, and provide consultation when difficulties are encountered. CONSULTATION Plant inspectors are by instruction required to consult the DME through the Resident Construction or County Engineer when the contractor encounters difficulty with regard to specification compliance and satisfactory plant operations. Consultations are also required when technical problems become evident to personnel performing sampling and testing and other specialized functions. The DME should provide the necessary assistance and guidance when conditions indicate action is required. GUIDELINES FOR CONSULTATION In many cases plant equipment operation and maintenance practices are directly related to problems associated with the work. Materials handling and storage procedures also cause difficulty at times. Sampling, testing and related inspection functions require re-evaluation when difficulties are encountered on a project. The following guidelines should be observed when Materials personnel are consulted for guidance: 1. Determine who is responsible for the problem and advise the appropriate party. 2. If the difficulty is associated with sampling, testing or related inspection functions provide the

necessary guidance or instruction if practical and advise the engineer in charge of action taken.

3. If the difficulty is associated with the contractor's equipment or procedures, reaffirm the

responsibility and requirements assigned to the contractor by the contract documents. The DME should then assist the contractor in identifying the problem by performing additional tests, calibrations, or other measurements as provided for in the specifications and appropriate instructions.

4. In the event that the standard procedures do not properly identify the factors causing the

difficulties encountered, the DME may provide additional guidance, if requested, with the clear understanding that such further consultation will not relieve or reduce the contractor's responsibility for solving problems associated with the work. Assistance so provided shall not include management services associated with the operation and maintenance of the contractor plant equipment and the direction of the contractor personnel.

I.M. 205 Quality Assurance

Program

Office of Materials

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has established the following Quality Assurance Program to assure that the quality of materials and construction in all highway construction projects is in reasonable conformity with the requirements of the approved plans and Specifications, including approved changes. The program reflects conformance with the criteria contained in the regulation for Quality Assurance Procedures for Construction, published as 23CFR 637(B) on June 29, 1995. It consists of an Acceptance Program and an Independent Assurance Program (IAP), both of which are based on test results obtained by qualified persons and equipment. This Quality Assurance Program allows for the use of the Contractor’s test results as part of the acceptance decision if satisfactory validation is achieved by the Agency in accordance with IM 216, IM 511, and IM 530. The IAP, as presently structured, is conducted exclusively by the Contracting Agency. The acceptance of all materials and workmanship is the responsibility of the Engineer. In order to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest, any qualified non-DOT laboratory shall perform only one of the following types of testing on the same project: Verification testing, quality control testing, IAP testing, or dispute resolution testing. ACCEPTANCE PROGRAM Materials incorporated into highway construction projects shall be subject to sampling and testing, including Quality Control (QC) sampling and testing when required by specification. Sampling and testing shall be performed in accordance with location, frequency and procedures identified in IM 204. A. Quality Control Sampling & Testing Contractor-performed QC sampling and testing may be used as part of an acceptance

decision when required or allowed by specifications. Contractor QC sampling and testing personnel, laboratories, and equipment shall be qualified in accordance with the Iowa DOT Technical Training & Certification Program (IM 213) and the Materials Laboratory Qualification Program (IM 208), and shall be evaluated under the Independent Assurance Program.

If the Contracting Authority eliminates contractor quality control testing from the contract

documents, the Contracting Authority shall perform the quality control testing at the frequencies identified in IM 204. Validation of these test results is not required.

B. Verification Sampling & Testing


2

Verification of quality is performed on critical materials, through independent sampling and testing, at a frequency identified in IM 204. Verification sampling and testing is done by Agency personnel or personnel hired by the Agency excluding the Contractor or vendor. Agency sampling and testing personnel, laboratories, and equipment will be qualified in accordance with the Iowa DOT Technical Training & Certification Program (IM 213) and the Materials Laboratory Qualification Program (IM 208), and will be evaluated under the Independent Assurance Program. Verification samples will be obtained by agency sampling. For some sampling identified in IM 204, the Contractor shall assist with sampling as directed and witnessed by certified Agency personnel. The sample location and time will be randomly selected by the Agency (except when noted elsewhere) and will only be given to the Contractor immediately prior to sampling. To maintain the integrity of the sample, it will either be transported by Agency personnel or secured by a tamper proof method and transported by the Contractor. QC test results to be used as part of the acceptance decision will be validated by verification test results. Validation of Contractor test results will be done in accordance with IM 216, IM 511, and IM 530. Contractor test results that fail the lot validation shall not be used for acceptance of that lot unless the dispute resolution system resolves the discrepancy. Verification test results will be used for lot acceptance pending the dispute resolution.

C. Quality Control Plans

When required by the Specifications, a Quality Control Plan (QCP) must be developed by the Contractor or producer and submitted to the Engineer for review. Minimum requirements for the QCP will be provided in an IM or specification.

D. Dispute Resolution System

When QC test results are used as part of the acceptance decision, testing disputes arising between the Contracting Agency and the Contractor shall be resolved in a reliable, unbiased manner or an evaluation performed by the Iowa DOT Central Materials Laboratory. Resolution decisions by the Iowa DOT Central Materials Laboratory will be final.

Unless specified elsewhere, the District Materials Engineer will select some or all of the

following steps for the dispute resolution:

1. Check all numbers and calculations. 2. Review past proficiency and validation data. 3. Review sampling and testing procedures. 4. Check equipment operation, calibrations and tolerances. 5. Perform tests on split samples or reference samples. 6. Involve the Central Materials Laboratory.

If the discrepancy cannot be resolved using the steps listed above, or if it is determined that the Contractor’s testing is in error, then the Agency test results will be used for the acceptance decision for that lot.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM The Independent Assurance Program (IAP) will evaluate all sampling and testing procedures, personnel, and equipment used as part of an acceptance decision (Includes Contractor, Contracting Agency, and consultant). Testing performed by the Central Materials Laboratory is not subject to IAP. The Central Materials Laboratory maintains accreditation through the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) Program. The goal of the IAP program is to check each active tester at least once per calendar year. The IAP includes both system- and project-based approaches defined as follows: Project Approach. The frequency of IAP activities is based primarily on quantities of

materials being tested and requires minimums (as per IM 204) on every project. System Approach. The frequency of IAP activities is based on time intervals, regardless of

the number of tests, quantities of materials, or numbers of projects being tested by the individual and equipment being evaluated.

The systems approach for IAP was implemented statewide in 1999 for evaluation of Contractor, consultant, city, county, and state equipment, procedures, and personnel involved with project acceptance. Within implementation of the systems approach, the District Materials Engineer may find it more appropriate to retain use of the project approach for IAP on specific projects when the systems approach cannot be effectively applied. Independent assurance includes evaluation based on: Calibration checks Split samples Proficiency samples Observation of sampling and testing procedures A. IAP Personnel & Equipment IAP testing equipment must not be the same equipment that was used by the project QC or verification personnel. IAP personnel must not be involved in the project verification testing or QC testing for the sampling and testing procedure they are evaluating on that project. B. Comparison of Test Results

A prompt comparison of the test results obtained by the individual being evaluated and the IAP tester will be performed by the Engineer. If results of the comparisons do not comply with tolerances provided in IM 216 or criteria in IM 208, Appendix C, a review of the test procedures and equipment shall be performed immediately to determine the source of the discrepancy. Corrective actions must be identified, incorporated as appropriate and followed by additional IAP testing. Test results from all the samples involved in the IAP will be documented and reported in the appropriate District or project files.


4

C. Annual Report of IAP Results

The Central Materials Office will compose and submit an annual report to the FHWA Division Administrator summarizing the results of the Iowa DOT’s systems approach IA Program. This report will identify the number of sampling and testing personnel evaluated by systems approach IA testing, the number of evaluations found to be acceptable and unacceptable, as well as a summary of any significant system-wide corrective actions taken.

SIGNIFICANT DIGITS IN TEST DATA When comparing test data to the specification limit, a uniform method is used to round the data. When a rounding method is not specified elsewhere for the test data, the method to be used is the Rounding Method in ASTM E29 except that the rounding procedure in section 6.4.3 is replaced as below and 6.4.4 is eliminated.

6.4.3 When the digit next beyond the last place to be retained is 5, and there are no digits beyond this 5, or only zeros, increase by 1 the digit in the last place retained.

When the Iowa DOT provides a computer program or spreadsheet for reporting test results, the rounding method will be as reported by the computer software.

****THIS IS A NEW IM. – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.****

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM FOR CONSTRUCTION OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTION

The Independent Assurance Program (IAP) is a part of the Iowa DOT Quality Assurance Program for Construction. Appendix A contains the details of who is covered and what sampling and testing is covered in the program.

Purpose of IAP— IAP is an unbiased and independent assessment of all sampling, testing, and testing equipment. This assessment includes evaluation of procedures and equipment used for the acceptance of highway materials and construction. 23 CFR Part 637 requires each state to have an IA Program.

IAP is distinct from and not intended as an acceptance process or for use in verification of contractor sampling and testing results. IAP is distinct from and not intended for production quality control (QC) purposes. If IAP results indicate a potential problem with quality, the results may be used to initiate additional testing.

IAP sampling shall be done in such a manner as to minimize variability. In order to eliminate material and process variability, split samples should be used. IAP samples may be taken independently of Agency verification or Contractor/Producer QC samples, or may be a split of a verification or an QC sample.

Deficiencies in verification or QC processes that are identified through the IAP program must be investigated and resolved.

IAP is an essential tool that helps to ensure integrity within the quality assurance (QA) program.

The IAP includes both system- and project-based approaches defined as follows:

Project Approach. The frequency of IAP activities is based primarily on quantities of materials being tested and requires minimums (as per IM 204) on every project. For projects with small quantities, project IAP will not be required:

HMA quantities less than 5000 tons PCC paving quantities less than 5000 sq. yds. PCC for structural and miscellaneous less than 50 cu. yds. Non-Proportioned Aggregate less than 5000 tons. System Approach. The frequency of IAP activities is based on time intervals, regardless of the

number of tests, quantities of materials, or numbers of projects being tested by the individual and equipment being evaluated. Each active technician should be checked at least 1 time per year. For HMA, the Districts Laboratories perform proficiency testing monthly during the construction season and field HMA laboratories perform proficiency testing up to 3 times per construction season. If a significant deficiency is observed for a technician, a later second check should be made.

Record keeping is required for all IAP observations and tests. The record should include who and what was checked, when, where, and the outcome of the check. An annual report is required by the FHWA detailing the system approach program- how many people for each test were checked, what was found, and how it was resolved. Also any systematic issues should be detailed (i.e. problems with equipment or calibrations, need for additional training, improvements in test procedure instructions.).

I.M. 208 Materials Lab Qualification


1

Office of Materials

MATERIALS LABORATORY QUALIFICATION PROGRAM GENERAL The FHWA has outlined a Laboratory Qualification Program in the Federal-Aid Policy Guide update published as 23 CFR 637 on June 29, 1995. The updated guide has requirements for laboratories performing testing on Federal-Aid highway projects. In order to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest, any qualified non-DOT laboratory shall perform only one of the following types of testing on the same project: Verification testing, quality control testing, IA testing, or dispute resolution testing. LABORATORIES TO BE QUALIFIED The following laboratories are included in the qualification program for all Federal-Aid projects: Central Materials Laboratory Ready Mix Laboratories 6 District Laboratories PCC Contractor Laboratories District Area Laboratories HMA Contractor Laboratories Resident Construction Laboratories* Consultant and Commercial Laboratories * Aggregate Producer Laboratories City and County Laboratories * Soils Field Laboratories* * May be qualified at the time of a project. LABORATORY QUALIFICATION PROCESS A two-level qualification system is required by the FHWA. Laboratories are either accredited or qualified. The accreditation process is more rigorous than the qualification process. Accredited Laboratory Process The Central Materials Laboratory and the six District Laboratories will be accredited as outlined in the 23 CFR 637 guide. The Central Materials Laboratory is accredited through the AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory Program. The District Materials Laboratories will be accredited by using the Central Materials Staff and equipment to check testing and testing procedures and by using the same calibration and training documentation process. Laboratories will be accredited for a two-year period. In addition, an annual review will be made by the Central Office Staff. Appendix A contains the procedures for accrediting the District Materials Laboratories.


2

Qualified Laboratory Process The remaining laboratories will be qualified as outlined below: The District Materials Offices will qualify laboratories. Laboratories will be qualified for a two-year period. In addition, an annual review will be made by District Staff. Appendix B contains the procedures for qualifying materials laboratories. Four laboratory types will be qualified, aggregate laboratories, PC Concrete laboratories, soils field laboratories, and Hot Mix Asphalt laboratories. Qualified laboratories will have the following: 1. Current manuals and test methods to perform the qualified testing available 2. A technician certified by the Iowa DOT to perform the qualified testing 3. Proper equipment to perform the qualified testing (calibrated or checked annually according

to Appendix B) 4. Satisfactory project and proficiency test results 5. Documentation of equipment calibrations, equipment checks, and proficiency results The District may elect to accept qualifications, accreditations, or inspections from other government agencies or Laboratory inspection agencies. The AASHTO Materials Reference Laboratory (AMRL) and Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory are 2 common Laboratory inspection programs. The links are: http://www.amrl.net/amrlsitefinity/default/aap/r18labs.aspx http://www.ccrl.us/Lip/LabListReport.pdf ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROCESS The Central Materials Laboratory will be responsible for implementation and operation of the Laboratory Qualification Program. The Central Materials Laboratory will accredit the District Laboratories. The District Materials Offices will qualify laboratories. NON-COMPLIANCE/DISPUTE RESOLUTION A laboratory that does not meet the requirements of the IM is subject to elimination from the qualification program. Disputes concerning calibration and correlation of equipment will be resolved by the office responsible for the qualification. For disputes that cannot be resolved at the District, the Central Materials Laboratory will be the final authority.


1

DISTRICT LABORATORY ACCREDITATION PROGRAM The Central Materials Laboratory (CML) will accredit the District Materials Laboratories and maintain records of the accreditation for five years. The CML Staff will check the following prior to accrediting a laboratory: 1. Check for current manuals and test procedures covering the accredited testing. 2. Check the certification and training records of the testing personnel. 3. Document that proper equipment is available to perform qualified testing. 4. Check documentation system. Scheduling of the annual accreditation review will be discussed with the laboratories needing accreditation. Table 1 is the list of items to be reviewed. An oral close out on any deficiencies will be held with the testing personnel. Written notice will be sent within two months of the inspection. CML personnel will re-inspect if necessary after correction of any deficiencies. A report showing the laboratory, the date accredited, and the expiration date will be issued by the Materials Testing Engineer. NON-COMPLIANCE/DISPUTE RESOLUTION A laboratory that does not meet the requirements of the IM is subject to elimination from the qualification program. The CML and the District Materials Engineer will resolve disputes concerning calibration and correlation of equipment.

LABORATORY QUALIFICATION PROGRAM The District Materials Office will qualify the other laboratories and maintain records of the qualification for three years. The District Staff will check the following prior to qualifying a laboratory: 1. Establish the type of laboratory (Aggregate, Hot Mix Asphalt, Soils Field, PC Concrete). 2. Check for current manuals and test procedures covering the qualified testing. 3. Check the certification of the testing personnel. 4. Document that proper equipment is available to perform qualified testing. 5. Check documentation system. Scheduling of the qualification review will be discussed with the laboratories seeking qualification. The District staff performing the qualification review should have the appropriate certification (IM 213) for the type of laboratory and tests being reviewed. The District Materials Engineer should be contacted for laboratories that have been qualified in other states. The District Materials Office may qualify a laboratory based on an acceptable qualification report and qualification program from another state transportation agency. Table 1 and the pages following cover the list of items to be reviewed. An oral close out on any deficiencies will be held with the testing personnel. Written notice will be sent within two weeks of the inspection. District personnel will re-inspect after correction of any deficiencies. A form showing the laboratory type, the date qualified, and the expiration date will be issued by the District Materials Engineer. The list of Qualified Laboratories will be maintained on a database accessible by authorized Materials Personnel. NON-COMPLIANCE/DISPUTE RESOLUTION A laboratory that does not meet the requirements of the IM is subject to elimination from the qualification program. The office responsible for the qualification will resolve disputes concerning calibration and correlation of equipment. For disputes that cannot be resolved at the District level, the Central Materials Laboratory will be the final authority.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROFICIENCY & TESTING FOR HMA GENERAL The HMA Proficiency Program is part of the Independent Assurance Program described in IM 205. The HMA Proficiency Program provides participating laboratories with a means to:

Check both the instrument and the operator under actual testing conditions. Compare individual test results with the average of a large body of results so that

corrective action may be taken where wide discrepancies occur.

Evaluate the quality of test results, thereby reducing the risk of dispute due to testing errors.

Each accredited and qualified Laboratory and certified staff shall establish and maintain their proficiency by following program described herein. A project approach for independent assurance may be used for RCE, county, city, and consultant laboratories. PROFICIENCY SAMPLE The Central Materials Laboratory will prepare and send out proficiency samples during the construction season (April through September). The samples and tests for laboratories will be as follows: A. District Laboratories

1. Asphalt Binder

a. G*/Sin Delta

2. HMA Mix

a. Gmb Laboratory Density

b. Gmm Maximum Specific Gravity

c. % Binder, Ignition Oven

d. Gradation, Ignition Oven

3. Combined Aggregate

a. Gradation

b. Gsa Apparent Specific Gravity (every other sample)


2

c. Gsb Bulk Specific Gravity (every other sample)

d. Percent Absorption (every other sample)

e. Fine Aggregate Angularity (every other sample)

f. Sand Equivalency (every other sample)

B. HMA Laboratories

1. HMA Mix

a. Gmb Laboratory Density

b. Gmm Maximum Specific Gravity

2. Combined aggregate

a. Gradation

C. Aggregate Laboratories

1. Gradation PROFICIENCY SAMPLE FREQUENCY A. District Laboratories

Each District Laboratory will receive a set of proficiency samples monthly April through September. The samples will be tested and the results reported within 14 calendar days of receipt

B. Contractor HMA laboratories

Each active certified HMA technician performing quality control testing for state or local federal aid projects will pick-up proficiency samples in April from the closest District Laboratory. The samples will be tested and the results reported to the Central Materials Laboratory by May 15. For active certified technicians that do not obtain a proficiency sample in April, they must contact the District Laboratory in the District where they will be working and obtain and test a proficiency sample prior to the start of paving. Results will be compared to the District Laboratory results for that month.

TEST RESULT ANALYSIS Test results from the proficiency samples will be analyzed using the current AASHTO Material Reference Laboratory (AMRL) procedure. The analysis compares the results from each participant and each District and Central Laboratory to the overall mean. Test results will also be


3

compared to the Central Materials Laboratory results. Any test result that is 3.0 standard deviations or greater from the mean will be considered failing. Two consecutive proficiency sample results that are 2.0 standard deviations or greater from the mean will be considered failing. In the event of a small data set or large or small variation within a data set, the individual results will be compared with the Central Laboratory results. IM 216 will be used to compare the results. Proficiency test results beyond the tolerance will be considered failing. INVESTIGATION OF FAILING TEST RESULTS The technician with failing test results shall review the calculation, test procedures, and perform a calibration if warranted. When there are two or more consecutive failing results, the Central Materials Laboratory or the District Material Engineer will contact the technician and arrange to conduct an evaluation of the procedures and equipment to correct any deficiencies. Three consecutive failing results by a technician will constitute unsatisfactory performance as defined in IM 213 and become a part of their permanent file. If an active certified HMA technician fails to obtain and test a proficiency sample, the District Materials Engineer will conduct an investigation and if warranted issue an unsatisfactory performance notice. If an active DOT certified HMA technician fails to test and report a proficiency sample by deadline, the District Materials Engineer will be notified to conduct an investigation and if warranted issue an unsatisfactory performance notice.

I.M. 209 Approved Producers Program

& Certified Aggregate


1

Office of Materials

APPROVED PRODUCER PROGRAM AND CERTIFIED AGGREGATES APPROVED PRODUCER PROGRAM In order to furnish certified aggregates to projects, an aggregate producer shall be on the approved aggregate producer listing (Appendix B, attached). This will also apply to recycled product yards and/or processors. The specific requirements, including the details of the required quality control program are in Appendix A (attached). Specification limits for aggregates being produced are found in Appendix C and D. For complete details on aggregate quality and gradation requirements, refer to the appropriate referenced specification. Non-compliance to the approved Producer Quality Control Program shall constitute grounds for the source and/or producer to be placed on conditional status by the District Materials Engineer. Continued non-compliance will be considered sufficient grounds to remove the producer from the Approved Producer List. Appendix E contains the “Notification of Violations of the Approved Producer’s Quality Control Program”. This is a written notice from the District Materials Coordinator or District Materials Engineer to a Producer identifying violation(s) of the Producer’s Quality Control Program or requirements of the Approved Producer Program. A written response is required from the Producer describing how the violation occurred, how the violation will be rectified, and what will be done so the violation will not occur or continue to occur in the future. An Aggregate Review Board will meet, as needed, for disciplinary actions and appeals involving Approved Producers. The Aggregate Review Board shall consist of: The State Materials Engineer The Chief Materials Geologist CERTIFIED AGGREGATES – SAMPLING AND TESTING The Aggregate Producer shall be responsible for source product quality control. Aggregate quality will be determined by testing samples secured by District Materials personnel. This will not relieve the producer or supplier of their responsibility for quality of the material. Producers must meet the responsibilities outlined in Guidelines for Aggregate Producer Quality Control Program, IM 209 Appendix A. Not less than 24 hours before start up, or as soon as possible for a production change, the appropriate District Materials Engineer shall be notified. The notification shall include the estimated daily production and total production, the intended use (project or warehouse stock), production ledge(s) if applicable, and responsible person(s). Failure to notify may result in additional quality sampling and testing, or rejection of the material.


2

Aggregates to be used in highway construction projects shall be subject to sampling and testing, including Producer Quality Control (QC) sampling and testing. Sampling and testing shall be performed during production in accordance with the minimum frequencies listed in the table below.

TABLE 1. SOURCE SAMPLING AND TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Sample Type Producer Quality Control Testing

Frequency

Iowa DOT Verification Testing Frequency

Proportioned Aggregates

Gradation 1/1500 T(1, 4) minimum 1/18,000 T(2, 4)

Quality 1/12,000 T or 1/month, whichever is more frequent (3)

1/12,000 T or 1/month, whichever is less frequent (2)

Non-Proportioned Aggregates

Gradation 1/3000 T(1) minimum 1/18000 T(2)

Quality 1/12,000 T or 1/month, whichever is more frequent (3)

1/12,000 T or 1/month, whichever is less frequent ( 2)

Notes: 1 Additional QC testing may be required at the time material is shipped to a project, for a

stockpiled material carried over a winter season or if there is evidence of segregation, contamination, or degradation.

2 May be adjusted by the DME for source specific needs. 3 When required by the DME for sources where historic quality test results have approached or

exceeded the specification limits (IM 307, 344, and 368). 4 Variation of Fineness Modulus (FM) by more than 0.2 lower than the target fineness or more

than 0.25 greater than the target fineness modulus should be investigated.

A. Producer Quality Control Sampling & Testing Producer QC sampling and testing personnel, laboratories, and equipment shall be qualified in accordance with the Iowa DOT Technical Training & Certification Program (IM 213) and the Materials Laboratory Qualification Program (IM 208). If Producer gradation test results are used as part of an acceptance decision, they will be evaluated under the Independent Assurance Program.


3

It is recommended that a Producer Quality Control Program include quality control testing to assist with ledge control and pit quality. Such tests may include: specific gravity (IM 307), clay lumps and friable material (IM 368), or shale in fine aggregate (IM 344). If historic data from a source indicate that quality test results approach or exceed specification limits the Engineer may require specific data be provided by the aggregate producer or supplier to the Iowa DOT (obtained by qualified persons and procedures). These data may include those tests listed above. See Table 1 for frequencies. B. Iowa DOT Verification Sampling & Testing The District Materials Office will be responsible for monitoring the Producers Quality Control Program. Verification of quality and gradation is through independent sampling and testing. Verification sampling and testing is done by Agency personnel. Agency sampling and testing personnel, laboratories, and equipment will be qualified in accordance with the Iowa DOT Technical Training & Certification Program (IM 213) and the Materials Laboratory Qualification Program (IM 208). When requested by the Agency, Producer or Contractor personnel shall assist with the sampling as directed and witnessed by the certified Agency personnel. The sample location and time will be randomly selected by the Agency (except when noted elsewhere) and will only be given to the Producer immediately prior to sampling. To maintain the integrity of the sample, it will be transported by Agency personnel or secured by a tamper proof method and transported by the Producer. The Agency may spilt the verification sample and give a portion to the Producer. Verification gradation test results, when non-complying, will normally be provided to the Producer within 3 working days of sampling. At no time will the District Materials Office representative issue directions to the producer. However, the representative will have authority and responsibility to question and where necessary reject any operation, which is not in accordance with the Specifications, Special Provisions, and Instructional Memorandums. C. Validation of Non-Proportioned Aggregate Test Results The verification gradation test results will be compared to the QC test results to validate the QC results for non-proportioned aggregate. Validation is based on the verification test results being within the specification limits. When the QC test results cannot be validated, the dispute resolution process will be used. Material shall not be shipped from the stockpile until the dispute is resolved. NOTE: Verification test results may be used solely for acceptance. When verification test results are used solely for acceptance, the acceptance criteria is Article 4109. D. Dispute Resolution System Validation disputes arising between the Contracting Agency and the Producer or Contractor will be resolved in a reliable, unbiased manner usually within two weeks of notification of a dispute. If necessary, an evaluation will be performed by the Iowa DOT Central Materials Laboratory. Resolution decisions by the Iowa DOT Central Materials Laboratory will be final.


4

Unless specified elsewhere, the District Materials Engineer will select some or all of the following steps for the dispute resolution:

1. Perform a comparison between the verification result and QC result(s) for the same time period (If the QC sample is from a split with the verification sample, also compare the previous independently taken QC result). Use the tolerances in IM 216. If the results are within the tolerance, validation is achieved.

2. Check all numbers and calculations. 3. Isolate material in dispute and begin a new stockpile. Resample stockpile material in

dispute. 4. Perform tests on split obtained by Agency personnel. 5. Review past proficiency and validation data. 6. Review sampling and testing procedures. 7. Check equipment operation, calibrations and tolerances. 8. In the event of multiple validation failures for a source, the DME may use F-test and t-

test statistical methods to compare the set of QC results with the set of verification results. A 0.05 level of significance will be used and a set of at least 5 verification test results.

9. Involve the Central Materials Laboratory.

If the discrepancy cannot be resolved using the steps listed above then the Agency test results will be used for the acceptance decision for that lot.

E. Small Quantities

Verification sampling and testing may be waived by the DME for product quantities of less than 2000 tons. For quantities of less than 200 tons of non-critical aggregate, the DME may waive QC testing and approve the stockpile based on a visual inspection by the DME or the Engineer.

CERTIFIED AGGREGATES – DOCUMENTATION

A. Producer Test Documentation

All producer test results performed on certified aggregates, whether compliant or non-compliant, shall be reported weekly or as designated to the District Materials Engineer on Form #821278. These reports shall indicate whether the aggregate is being produced for direct project delivery, stockpiling for a specific project, or for advance warehouse stock.

Selected production limits shall be included on Form #821278.

Production limits for aggregate produced for use in HMA or PCC mix designs are generated by the contractor and supplied to the aggregate producer on Forms #955 and #955QMC respectively.

B. Certified Aggregate Delivery Documentation

Documentation may be accomplished by numbered truck ticket, transfer list or shipment statement (such as Form #821278), or by a bill of lading (for rail or barge shipments). The


5

certified documentation shall be furnished to project inspection personnel or receiving contractor before material is incorporated. For aggregates as bid items measured by weight (mass), the certified truck tickets shall be

numbered and include signatures or initials in accordance with Article 2001.07.

A “secure electronic signature” as defined by IM 209 Appendix G may be acceptable for certification of truck tickets in lieu of an original signature.

In the case of shipment by rail or barge, the documentation shall be sent to the project

engineer and receiving contractor or ready mix operator no later than the same day as shipment source departure. The documentation shall include the rail car or barge number(s).

Documentation not having an exact weight (mass) shall include an estimated quantity (i.e.

transfer listings or Form #821278, etc.). If the Producer/Supplier QC test results are used in the acceptance decision for non-

proportioned aggregates, the Producer shall supply a signed summary documentation to the Project Engineer, including: the type of material and source, the total quantity, project number, and gradation results.

When Agency test results are used for the acceptance decision of non-proportioned aggregate, the Producer/Supplier shall provide the Materials Engineer the total tons delivered to the project, the type of material and source, project number, and gradation results. District Materials will provide test reports to the project.

The following certification statement is required to be on the document used to certify the material being delivered (i.e. truck ticket, Form #821278, etc.): “This is to certify the material herein described meets applicable contract specifications.” NOTE: This certification statement shall be signed or initialed by an authorized representative of the aggregate supplier. To ensure proper identification of delivered aggregates, the following additional information is required on the certification document: Proportioned Aggregate When the aggregate represented is for use in HMA or PCC mixtures, the project number is preferred when practical, as in the case when shipping to a single project paving plant site, and not required when impractical, as in the case when shipping into warehouse stock at a ready mix plant or when shipping to a plant supplying material to multiple projects. PCC Aggregate: Gradation number, quantity, source name and T203 A-number, production beds (for quarried stones) and the delivery date.

HMA Aggregate: Product size, quantity, source name and T203 A-number, production beds (for quarried stones), and delivery date.


6

Non-proportioned Aggregate Iowa DOT gradation number, project number, quantity, source name and T203 A-number and the delivery date. NOTE: Documentation for revetment stones shall include production beds.

REHANDLING OF CERTIFIED AGGREGATES When certified aggregates are rehandled the District Materials Engineer shall be notified and afforded the opportunity to monitor the re-handling procedure. For the purpose of this IM, re-handling is meant to include the physical unloading and reloading of aggregate at a temporary storage site before the aggregate is delivered to its final destination. Rehandled certified aggregates may be required to be re-tested, with or without re-weighing and recertified on a numbered shipment ticket with proper identification and certification statement. ACCEPTANCE At the Contractor’s and Producer’s own risk, aggregates may be certified for project use before quality sample test results are reported based on the following:

Complying Quality Control and Verification gradations Documentation of consistent previous compliance to specified quality requirements from

the source or ledge.

A. Proportioned Aggregate In the case of HMA or PCC proportioned aggregates, acceptance tests will be performed on verification samples obtained at the proportioning plant. Certified proportioned aggregate may be incorporated into a project on the basis of the certified truck ticket, certified bill of lading, shipment listing, certified transfer listing or Certified Gradation Test Report (Form #821278). A file of certified shipment or transfer documents for the HMA or PCC proportioned aggregate will be maintained by the contractor or ready mix operator and made available for inspection at each plant or project site during the project period. Project inspection personnel shall verify that all material incorporated in the project is properly certified and document this verification and quantity on each of the appropriate daily or periodic construction reports. No other project documentation for the incorporated aggregate is required. B. Non-Proportioned Aggregate

Acceptance of non-proportioned aggregates will be based on proper certification, visual examination by the contracting authority to ensure against obvious contamination or segregation, Producer quality control test results, and Agency verification test results. Minor quantities of non-critical aggregates may be visually inspected by the contracting authority and recorded in the project field book. Quantities less than 200 Mg (ton) are considered minor. An example of a non-critical aggregate is a non-proportioned aggregate


7

such as granular backfill material for bridge abutments. C. Independent Assurance Program (IAP)

If Producer QC test results are used in the acceptance decision for non-proportioned aggregate, each certified technician who performs the QC sampling or testing and their test equipment will be independently checked by Iowa DOT certified technicians (IAP personnel) as per Materials IM 205 at least once per year. IAP personnel must not be involved in gradation verification testing for the aggregate source being tested.

IAP personnel will witness the Producer technician taking a random sample and splitting that sample. The splits of the sample will be tested by the Producer’s technician and by the Iowa DOT District Laboratory. District Laboratory IAP testing equipment must not be the same equipment that is used for gradation verification for that source. The results will be compared using IM 216. If acceptable correlation is not found, IAP personnel will contact the Producer’s technician and review the results for the following:

1. Check for recording, weighing, or calculating errors. 2. Check to see that the balance is working correctly. 3. Check the sieves for damage or out of tolerance openings. 4. Check for overloading of sieves. 5. Check for incomplete sieving. 6. Resolve any problems, repeat the sampling, splitting, and observe the testing of a new

sample. The IAP results are not to be used in the acceptance decision for the material. Any non-complying IAP results should result in a visit by the Iowa DOT inspector responsible for verification testing at that location. This method of IAP is called a System Approach and requires the Iowa DOT to report a summary of the results annually to the FHWA. Document when the Producer’s Technician was visited, which Producer’s laboratory was used, the results, and any follow-up if required. This documentation should be retained in the event of an FHWA audit.

GUIDELINES FOR AGGREGATE PRODUCER QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM GENERAL This appendix contains the minimum requirements for the producer Quality Control Program in order to become an approved aggregate producer. Producers must submit a written application to their District Materials Engineer (DME) for review and approval. Quality Control Programs for recyclers will describe procedures for receiving, sorting and managing stockpiles of reclaimed materials intended to be processed into certified aggregates. NOTE: Producers with operations in more than one District shall apply to the District Materials Engineer in the district where the most certified material production exists or is anticipated. The application is attached to this Appendix or is available on-line through the Iowa DOT web page. This application is also available from the DME Offices and the Iowa Limestone Producers Association (ILPA) office. DEFINITIONS The following definitions apply to the Quality Control Program guidelines: Source - Any location aggregate is produced at or shipped from on a certified basis (e.g., quarries, pits, project sites, recycle yards, terminal locations, portable production operation, etc.). Conditional Status - This is a written notice from the District Materials Engineer to a producer that certified aggregates will no longer be accepted from a particular source. Application of Conditional Status may vary depending upon situation or specific circumstances. The Conditional Status may apply only to a production operation and aggregate produced by that operation. In other situations, when the deficiency is more widespread, the Conditional Status may apply to an entire company or division within a company until the problem is resolved. In the case of portable production operations, Conditional Status shall apply to the specific production operation regardless of source location, and shipment of aggregate previously produced by the affected production operation may be placed on Conditional Status when warranted. GUIDELINES FOR AGGREGATE PRODUCER QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM 1. Aggregate Certification

The producer has the overall responsibility of certifying that material being placed in the certified stockpile is produced under and conforms to the Aggregate Certification Program, and the producer Quality Control (QC) Program. The Iowa DOT, through its monitoring activities (sampling/testing, visual observation, etc.), will verify the continued compliance to the program.


2

2. Knowledge of Current Specifications

The producer Quality Control representative(s) must maintain up-to-date knowledge of the specifications that apply to aggregate products currently being produced at the source. The producer representative shall have available, at the testing lab, a copy of the current Standard Specifications, all applicable Supplemental Specifications and all applicable Instructional Memorandums (IMs) for aggregate inspection, as well as a current geological section, if applicable. The producer will be aware of any Special Provisions, which change current aggregate specifications. This applies to both quality and gradation requirements. The producer shall be responsible for providing these up-to-date publications to their QC representative.

3. Plant Production Log

The producer is required to maintain a plant production log when producing under the program. This production log shall detail, on a daily basis, samples taken, pass/fail results, corrective actions, plant/ledge changes, etc. The log must be kept at a designated location and be readily available to the Iowa DOT representative for review.

4. Visual Inspection

The producer is responsible for visually inspecting the aggregate source process on a frequent basis. Visual inspection can be defined as observing the processing or production area, as well as the condition of the aggregate in the flow stream or stockpiles. This visual inspection does not take away from actual testing, but enhances the inspection to ensure quality aggregates. It is the responsibility of the producer Quality Control representative to observe the overall operation to detect segregation, degradation, and contamination that are detrimental to the quality of the product.

5. Quality Requirements

Any certified stockpile must meet the designated quality before shipment. The producer is responsible for supplying material meeting all quality requirements. Intentional shipment of untested or out of specification material will constitute grounds for immediate rejection of material and placement of the source and/or the producer on conditional status. The producer Quality Control representative will obtain and maintain quality information on specific ledges, production methods, and certified stockpiles for each source.

6. Production Notification

Twenty-four hours before startup or as soon as possible for production change, the appropriate Area Materials Coordinator (AMC) or District Materials Engineer (DME) shall be notified. Failure to notify may result in material rejection or resampling of the stockpile. Notification shall include the estimated intended tonnage to be produced, estimated daily production rate, intended use (e.g., project information or warehouse stock), and if applicable, production ledges, and responsible person(s).


3

7. Production

A. The producer shall establish gradation production limits for each material to be certified to help ensure a product that is uniformly graded and meets specifications at the time of use. 1. Gradation production limits shall apply to individual products within each source and be

maintained for each stockpile.

2. Gradation production limits are subject to review, only, by the AMC or DME. 3. Repeated non-adherence to the producer established gradation production limits require

stockpile sampling and testing by the producer.

B. Testing and Reporting

1. Minimum test frequencies as per IM 209, Appendix C 2. Test results will be known before delivery when the product is being shipped to a project. 3. All test results will be available at a designated location within 24 hours of sampling when

the material is being placed into a certified stockpile. 4. Report gradation test results to DME and contractor, when applicable, on Form #821278.

C. Maintaining Ongoing Quality Control Procedures

1. Proper ledge control and/or control of stockpiles of reclaimed PCC and HMA intended for

recycling into certified aggregates. 2. Equipment (production and testing) 3. Stockpiling procedures 4. Proper stockpile identification (signing, stockpile maps, etc., as required).

8. Delivery

A. Stockpile identification to ensure delivery from proper stockpiles

B. Visual inspection for contamination, segregation, etc.

C. Stockpile gradation resampling may be required.

D. Proper identification and certification of delivered aggregate as per IM 209

E. Maintain ongoing QC procedures.

F. Report tonnage to the AMC when requested.


4

9. Quality Control Structure

In order to ensure quality as a priority, the producer Quality Control personnel will have a line of communication directly to their management, as well as their production operation.

****THIS IS A NEW APPENDIX. – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.****

NOTIFICATION OF IM 209 VIOLATION

This appendix contains the Notification of Violations of the Approved Producer’s Quality Control Program.

This is a written notice from the District Materials Coordinator or District Materials Engineer to a producer identifying violation(s) of the Producer’s Quality Control Program or requirements of the Approved Producer Program (Office of Materials IM 209).

A written response is required from the Producer describing how the violation occurred, how the violation will be rectified, and what will be done so the violation will not occur or continue to occur in the future. After the written response is received, grounds for Conditional Status will be determined. Conditional Status requires that certified aggregates will no longer be accepted from a particular source. The Conditional Status may apply only to a production operation and aggregate produced by that operation. In other situations, when the deficiency is more widespread, the Conditional Status may apply to an entire company or division within a company until the problem is resolved. See Office of Materials IM 209, Appendix A for details. If the Notification of Violation is found to be in error, the Notification will be rescinded. Written responses should be sent to the District Materials Office and the Geology Section of the Central Materials Laboratory.

Subj: Electronic Signature Authority for Certifying Truck Tickets

1. I have read Federal Code 1020 and Iowa Code 714.8 (following this document) and am aware of the potential penalties for fraud and knowingly tendering a false certification. I will not knowingly cause or create a false document nor allow others access to my password that would allow them to certify materials. I am also aware of the provisions authorizing secure electronic signature per IM.209 Appendix G.

2. My Secure Electronic Signature Authority is granted to me by the Iowa DOT Director of Construction and Materials and represents the authorization by the company officer to certify materials for the company for whom I am employed. Should either of us terminate employment this signature authority shall be revoked. This certificate is valid for five years from the date signed by the Iowa DOT Director of Construction and Materials. This authority can be renewed by review of the Federal and Iowa Codes and resubmission to the Director of Construction and Materials. Violations of these Codes shall be cause for revocation of this authority.

Iowa DOT requirements are based on Iowa Code Section 554(C) Superseded by 554(D) Secure Electronic Signature.

1. Subject to the provisions of section 554C.303 and 554(D), if, by the application of a qualified security procedure, it can be authenticated that an electronic signature is the signature of a specific person, the electronic signature shall be considered to be a secure electronic signature at the time of verification.

2. A qualified security procedure for purposes of this section is a security procedure for identifying a party that meets the following:

A. Authorized by, and implemented in accordance with the requirements of IM 209 Appendix G.

B. Previously agreed to by the parties to an agreement and implemented in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

C. Authorized by the responsible Company Officer to act on behalf of the Company and being capable of creating a secure electronic signature that meets all of the following conditions:

(1) Is unique to the signer within the context in which it is used. (2) Can be used to promptly, objectively, and automatically identify the person

signing the electronic record. (3) Is password protected and assignable to only that person with the authority

given by the Company Officer. (4) Was reliably created by such identified person. (5) Is linked to the electronic record to which it relates in a manner which

ensures that if the record or signature is changed the electronic signature is invalidated, provided that the security procedure is implemented in a manner required by the certification.

(6) Acceptable security systems shall meet the provisions of NTEP or NIST Handbook 44.

Office of Materials

PRODUCTION OF CERTIFIED AGGREGATE FROM RECLAIMED ROADWAYS

GENERAL This IM deals with requirements for furnishing certified aggregate produced from reclaimed materials. The requirements of Office of Materials IM 209 (Certified Aggregates Approved Producer Program) also apply to the production of aggregate from reclaimed roadway materials. Processing Requirements for Aggregates Produced from Reclaimed Materials Notification to District Materials personnel of new production, as well as testing frequency, sampling, documentation, and acceptance of recycled materials, are the same as for virgin materials as outlined in IM 209. The District Materials Engineer shall be afforded the opportunity to witness the stockpiling of unprocessed recycled material. Processing of reclaimed PCC, crushed composite pavement (CCP), and salvaged HMA (RAP) shall include a means of eliminating material other than PCC, RAP, or CCP in the finished product. This may be accomplished by pre-screening or other methods acceptable to the District Materials Engineer. Stockpiles contaminated with soil or excessive recycled fines may require processing using a grizzly at the time of delivery to the recycle yard or as directed by the District Materials Engineer. Figures 1 through 6 show examples of poor (unacceptable) and clean stockpiles. Stockpiles contaminated with reinforcing steel, soil, or other material can be rejected upon visual inspection. The producer or contractor shall be informed immediately that the stockpile has been rejected. Recycled yards must have controlled access and delivered material shall be inspected prior to incorporation into unprocessed stockpiles. Moving Crusher Recycling Operations (such as a Paradigm)

If multiple crushers and screening plants are used, each plant’s production must have its own Q/C and monitor gradation testing.

Sampling and testing frequency needs to be in agreement between the Producer and DME before production.

Sampling locations must be identified using stationing, GPS, or other accurate and reliable method.

Material must be from a known aggregate source or the quality establish prior to incorporation.


2

Material cannot be incorporated until the material is represented by a complying gradation test result.

Modified Subbase and Granular Subbase These products require that the reclaimed material be identifiable and the following shall apply: A. Recycled crushed PCC pavement, crushed composite pavement (CCP), and salvaged HMA

(RAP) can be reclaimed from an Interstate or Primary roadway pavement under the jurisdiction of the contracting authority and shall be certified based on gradation testing.

B. Recycled PCC roadway pavement or recycled composite roadway pavement obtained from secondary roads or municipal streets may be used if the source of the aggregate is known and the PCC coarse aggregate durability is Class 2 or better and shall be certified based on gradation testing. The producer shall be responsible for documentation of the pavement source.

C. When the source or quality of the material from the secondary or municipal pavement is

unknown, the material shall be certified based on quality requirements identified in the Standard Specifications for crushed stone for the aggregate being produced and gradation requirements for the aggregate product.

1. If the concrete originated from multiple locations, the crushed material from each

location must be stockpiled in separate but homogeneous stockpiles. 2. Prior to certification and furnishing to projects, each stockpile must be readily

identifiable, and have compliant results on applicable tests on samples taken from each of these stockpiles.

D. On secondary and municipal projects, recycled material can also be reclaimed from roadway pavement under the jurisdiction of the contracting authority and shall be certified based on gradation testing.

Modified Subbase Production Some aggregate products allow the blending of RAP with virgin aggregate or crushed PCC. The virgin aggregate or crushed PCC shall meet the gradation and quality requirements of the intended product before blending with RAP. HMA shall be processed into RAP, meeting the applicable nominal maximum size for the intended product before blending with other aggregate. The addition of unprocessed HMA shall only be allowed if it is generated from a composite pavement or consistent base layer. Material from HMA shoulders may only be used for Special Backfill. Blending of RAP shall be accomplished by the use of belt feeders and bins equipped


3

with adjustable gates or drive systems that can be calibrated and controlled. This is applicable to all permanent recycling operations as well as in-place recycling operations (such as the Paradigm). For Modified Subbase, the amount of recycled HMA shall not exceed 50%. RAP containing soil or other foreign material other than HMA will be considered contaminated and subject to rejection. Granular Shoulders Crushed recycled materials may total no more than 30% of the shoulder aggregate for new construction and no more than 50% of the total for existing granular shoulders. The intended proportions shall be provided to the District Materials Engineer at least 24 hours before the start of production. The District Materials Engineer shall be afforded the opportunity to witness the calibration of the blending equipment. The blending restrictions described in Modified Subbase also apply to Granular Shoulders. Recycled PCC for Class D and Class E Revetment Recycled PCC revetment must be reclaimed from Interstate or Primary roadway pavements or airport runways. To meet the nominal top size of 250 pounds for Class D and Class E revetment, recycled PCC used for revetment must be 10 inches or greater in thickness. If the Engineer or project requires using riprap containing material larger than 250 pounds, recycled PCC will not meet the dimensional requirements of Section 4130.02. Recycled PCC will not meet the dimensional requirements for Class A, B, and C revetment.

These update classes will be listed in the Technical Training & Certification Program Booklet and on the program website, or the certified technician may contact the Iowa DOT for information. If an individual does not attend the two update classes required before their certification expires, they must take the entire schooling and pass the examination for the certification required. The certified technician will not receive credit for the following: 1. More than one update per training season in each level of certification. 2. An update taken during the same training season in which the individual recertified.

UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE NOTICE A certified technician failing to perform the required specified duties or inadequately performing these duties, will receive an Unsatisfactory Notice (Office of Materials IM 213, Appendix B).The notice will be from the District Materials Engineer in the District where the failure occurred. This notice and all supporting documentation will be placed in the technician’s permanent file with the District Materials Office in which the technician resides. The notice will also be placed on the statewide computer file. The notice will remain in their file for five years. The notice may be removed prior to the five years upon the recommendation of the District Materials Engineer.

SUSPENSION & DECERTIFICATION

A technician receiving two Unsatisfactory Work Performance Notices for work performed under a specific certification will be given a three-month suspension of the applicable certification. Suspended technicians shall not perform any duties governed by the suspended certification, including any duties which require the suspended certification as a prerequisite.

Technicians are eligible to be reinstated after the three-month suspension and successful completion of the applicable recertification test(s).

Technicians are subject to decertification when they receive a third Unsatisfactory Performance Notice.

Certified Technicians will be decertified for any of the following reasons:

The certificate will become invalid for the following reasons:

1. Failure of the certificate holder to renew the certificate prior to regular expiration as described above.

2. Use of false or fraudulent information to secure or renew the certificate.

Technicians may request reinstatement after one year. Appeals and reinstatement requests shall be submitted in writing to the Program Director. Appeals and reinstatement requests will be considered by the Certification Board. If reinstatement is authorized, the applicant must attend and successfully complete the applicable certification courses. FUNCTIONS & RESPONSIBILITES A certificate holder at each production site, project site, proportioning plant, or laboratory will perform duties. The certified technician shall perform quality control testing in accordance with specified frequencies and submit designated reports and records. The specification requirement for materials testing by a certified technician does not change the supplier’s responsibilities to furnish materials compliant with the specification requirements. The District Materials Engineer and/or Project Engineer will be responsible for monitoring the sampling, testing, production inspection activities and quality control performed by the contractor. A monitor shall have satisfactorily completed the training and be certified for the level of technician they are monitoring. The District Materials Engineer and/or Project Engineer will have authority and responsibility to question and where necessary, require changes in operations and quality control to ensure specification requirements are met. QUALITY CONTROL, TESTING, & DOCUMENTATION The QC Technician shall be present whenever construction work related to production activity, such as stockpiling or other preparatory work, requires record development and/or documentation is in progress. The QC Technician’s presence is normally required on a continuing basis beginning one or more days before plant operation begins and ending after plant shut down at the completion of the project. The work shall be performed in a timely manner and at the established frequencies.

The QC Technician’s presence is not normally required during temporary plant shut downs caused by conditions, such as material shortages, equipment failures, or inclement weather.

All quality control activities and records shall be available and open for observation and review by representatives of the contracting authority.

Reports, records, and diaries developed during progress of construction activities will be filed as directed by the Contracting Authority and will become the property of the Contracting Authority.

SOURCE OF MATERIALS LIST

I.M. 204 Inspection of Construction Project Sampling & Testing

October 15, 2013 Matls. IM 204 Supersedes October 19, 2010

1

Office of Materials

INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT SAMPLING & TESTING

INTRODUCTION The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) has established a Quality Assurance Program (IM 205) to assure that the quality of materials and construction workmanship incorporated into all highway construction projects is in reasonable conformity with the requirements of the approved plans and Specifications, including approved changes. It consists of an Acceptance Program and an Independent Assurance Program (IAP), both of which are based on test results obtained by qualified persons and equipment. The acceptance portion of the program covers quality control (QC) sampling and testing and verification sampling and testing. The IAP portion of the program covers the evaluation of all sampling and testing procedures, personnel, and equipment used as part of an acceptance decision (includes Contractor, Contracting Agency, and consultant). ACCEPTANCE PROGRAM FOR MATERIALS To fulfill the materials acceptance requirements, several methods are used by the DOT. Sampling & Testing (Test Report) Certification Approved Sources Approved Shop Drawings Approved Catalog Cut Fabrication Report Visual Approval by the Engineer In many cases more than one method may be required for acceptance in the 204 Appendices and tables in the back of this guide. For some new or special materials, the Materials Engineer may need to determine the most appropriate acceptance requirements.

In order to provide the Contractor the opportunity to construct a project with minimal sampling and testing delays, inspection is performed at the source for many materials. Source inspection may consist of inspecting process control, sampling for laboratory testing or a combination of these procedures. All source-inspected or certified materials are subject to inspection at the project site prior to being incorporated into the work. Project site inspections are for identification of materials with test reports and for any unusual alterations of the characteristics of the material due to handling or other causes. Verification samples secured by project Agency personnel of source-inspected, certified, or project processed materials are also required for some materials in order to secure satisfactory validation for acceptance.


2

When certification procedures are required, the Contractor may, on the Contractor’s own responsibility and at the Contractor’s risk, incorporate these materials into the work. Acceptance will be based on satisfactory certification and compliance of the test results of any verification samples. When verification samples are not required, acceptance will be based on satisfactory certification. A. SAMPLING & TESTING (TEST REPORT)

When a material is sampled and tested, the results will be documented on a construction form or a test report. There is quality control sampling and testing done by the Contractor or producer and verification sampling testing done by the Project Engineer, the District Materials Engineer, the Central Materials Laboratory, or an independent laboratory.

In many cases, in addition to sampling and testing, some other type of acceptance method will also be required. Sampling and testing may be done at the project, supplier, or source depending on which is the most appropriate.

B. CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE

For many materials a fabricator, manufacturer, or supplier is required to provide the Project Engineer with a certification document stating that the material meets the requirements of the plans and specifications. In most cases, the fabricator, manufacturer, or supplier must also be on an approved list in the IM. For some of these materials, sampling and testing is also required before final acceptance. The certification comes in a variety of forms:

Stamped or preprinted on truck tickets as with aggregates,

Stamped or preprinted on invoices as with Portland Cement and asphalt binder,

Stamped or printed on the Mill Analysis as with reinforcing steel, structural steel, and other metals,

Furnished as a separate document with each shipment as with zinc-silicate paint, engineering fabrics, epoxy coatings, and dowel baskets,

Stamped or printed on a list of materials for each shipment as with CMP, concrete pipe, clay tile, and corrugated plastic subdrain,

In the form of a guaranteed analysis as with seed labels.

The inspector will verify that the certification has been received by documenting it in the project materials book.


3

C. APPROVED SOURCE

(May also be referred to as “Approved Producer, Approved Supplier, Approved Fabricator, or Approved Brand”) The source, producer, and the material must be evaluated and approved by the Office of Construction and Materials according to the appropriate Materials IM in order to be used on a project. Once a letter of approval is issued, the source or producer is approved for use on projects (with the exception of steel fabricators). Approved lists are issued biannually for general information only. Approval for a source or producer may be rescinded at any time if it no longer meets the requirements of the IM.

The project inspector will document information about this material such as product name, source, date, producer, and lot number in the project materials book.

Most approved sources also require a certification.

D. APPROVED WAREHOUSE STOCK

For some items made up of miscellaneous materials, inspection and approval will be done by the District Materials Engineer at the supplier’s warehouse.

E. APPROVED SHOP DRAWING & APPROVED CATALOG CUT

This information must be submitted to, and reviewed by the Iowa DOT Central Design Office, before the material can be incorporated in the project.

F. FABRICATION REPORT

The project inspector must have a copy of the final fabrication report prior to incorporating the item into the project. The report will vary depending on the Materials IM requirements for the item fabricated. Final acceptance is by construction personnel at the project site, and is based on the proper documentation and the condition of the component.

G. VISUAL APPROVAL BY PROJECT ENGINEER

(May also be referred to as “As Per Plan, Approved By RCE, or Manufacturer Recommendations”) The project inspector must document information about this material such as product name, source, producer, lot number and date produced in the project materials book. The inspector will make sure the material meets the requirements of the plans, the Engineer, or the manufacturer before the material is used. Visual approval requires construction personnel to visually inspect the material to determine if it complies with the specifications. Visual approval is appropriate for non-critical items such as mulch or sod stakes, where compliance can be readily determined by visual means. If there are questions on specification compliance, samples will be taken for testing.


4

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE PROGRAM The IAP evaluates all sampling and testing procedures, personnel, and equipment used as part of an acceptance decision (Includes Contractor, Contracting Agency, and consultant). Independent assurance includes evaluation based on: Calibration checks Split samples Proficiency samples Observation of sampling and testing performance The test method and the frequency of test are in the Appendices. Calibration checks and proficiency samples testing is covered in IM 208. SMALL QUANTITIES The FHWA allows and encourages alternative acceptance methods for small quantities of non-critical materials. Appendix X contains a list of those materials and maximum quantities for which alternative acceptance methods may be appropriate. The Project Engineer or District Materials Engineer may still require the normal acceptance method for a material when it is considered critical in the intended application.

PROJECT INSPECTION

I.M. 401 Hydraulic Cements


1

Office of Materials

HYDRAULIC CEMENTS GENERAL Portland cement shall meet the requirements of ASTM C150 for the type specified. When blended cement is to be furnished, it shall meet the requirements of ASTM C595. Cement Type I, II, III, IP, IS and IL shall also meet the additional requirements outlined in Section 4101 of the Standard Specifications. Approval of any type of Portland and blended cements will be based on certification by an approved source or upon source sampling and testing before being incorporated into the work. Approved cement sources and distribution terminals are listed in the Appendixes of this IM. The available cement types are: ASTM C150

Type I For general use. Type II For moderate sulfate resistance. C3A less than 8%. Type III High early strength. Generally, a finer ground Type I cement.

White Cement White cement sources shall meet the requirements of ASTM C150, except the

maximum Fe₂O₃ shall not exceed 0.5%. Approved sources of white cement are listed in the Appendix B.

ASTM C595

Type IS Type I Slag is a Portland cement blended, or clinker interground, up to 35% GGBSF.

Type IP Type I Pozzolan is a Portland cement blended or clinker interground, up to 25%

pozzolan. Type IL Type I Limestone is a Portland cement blended or clinker interground, between

5% and 15% limestone. SOURCE APPROVAL For consideration for approval, the manufacturer shall provide the following to the Materials Office:

1. A quality control program that meets the requirements of Section A. 2. A copy of the latest CCRL inspection report on quality control laboratory, including

documentation of resolution of any discrepancies noted.


2

3. A 3-month strength uniformity report prepared in accordance with the requirements of ASTM C917, “Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Cement Strength Uniformity from a Single Source”.

4. A letter indicating the type of each processing addition, and the percent range that will be used in Type I cement.

The manufacturer shall also prepare a 24-hour composite sample of cement from current production according to ASTM C183. This sample will be tested by the Central Materials Laboratory for acceptance. Iowa may approve a source based on another state source approval, provided that state will agree to the terms in Appendix C and the source meets Section 4101 of the Iowa DOT Standard Specifications. Mixing of cement from different sources, different plants, or of different types in one storage bin or silo will not be allowed. When less than 5% of limestone is used, the manufacturer shall inform the Office of Materials in writing on the amount of the addition. The manufacturer shall also supply comparative test data on chemical and physical properties of the cement with and without limestone. The amount of limestone used shall be included in the manufacturer’s Mill Test Reports. Approval of Type IL cement which contains limestone in a range of 5% to 15%, is described in Section C of this IM. A. Quality Control Program

The control of the production from each grinding mill type shall be considered separately. The following minimum testing frequencies are presented as a general guideline:

1. One sample representing 24 hours of production to be tested for air content, false set, and

soundness. Determinations of free lime may be used to alter the frequency of testing soundness.

2. One sample representing 4 hours production to be tested for time of set and fineness.

3. One sample representing 48 hours production to be tested for chemical analysis.

4. One sample representing 4 day’s production to be tested for 3- and 7-day compressive

strength.

The sampling, tests and testing frequencies required may vary from the above guidelines depending of the particular production problems of the plant. In all cases, the quality control procedure used shall be submitted in writing to the District Materials Engineer for approval.

The plant sample test records shall be available for study by Highway Division personnel for at

least seven years after the cement represented has been produced.

B. Quality Control Laboratory The Portland cement plant is required to have a control laboratory compliant with ASTM C1222,

Standard Practice for Evaluation of laboratories Testing Hydraulic Cement. The control laboratory shall be AASHTO accredited. This laboratory will perform testing on the applicable types of cement meeting ASTM C150 and C595. Any major difference on test results between the control laboratory and the Highway Division Ames Laboratory shall be resolved quickly. Continued unresolved differences in test results will be considered a basis for discontinuing control laboratory approval.

C. Approval of Type IL Cement

To apply for approval of a Type IL cement, manufacturer shall submit test results of two concrete mixtures, one with the Type IL cement and other with the control Type I/II cement of the same source, to the Office of Materials. These two concrete mixtures shall be cast per the Iowa DOT Concrete Mix Designation C-3WR-C20. The coarse aggregate used shall be an Iowa DOT approved limestone or dolomite. Fly ash, sand, air entraining agent and chemical admixtures used shall also be from Iowa DOT approval lists. The air content shall be in the range of 5.5% and 7.0%. The tests and approval requirements are listed below:

ASTM C39, Compressive Strength at 7, 28, and 56 Days: 90% or better of control. ASTM C78, Flexural Strength or ASTM C496, Splitting Tensile Strength at 28 and

56 Days: 95% or better of control or a 28-day 3rd point MR greater than 640 psi. ASTM C157, Concrete Shrinkage up to 56 Days: 95% or better of control or 56-day

shrinkage less than 0.040%. ASTM C666, Freeze-Thaw Resistance up to 300 Cycles: 95% or better of control or

a durability factor greater than 90%. ASTM C457, Air Void Analysis. ASTM C1202, Rapid Chloride Permeability. ASTM C1012, Sulfate Resistance up to 6 Months.

CONTINUED SOURCE APPROVAL

A. DOT Sampling and Testing After initial approval, random samples will be taken and tested at a minimum rate of one

sample semiannually. The samples may be taken at the source or at the distribution terminal if the source is outside the district’s normal area of travel.

A split-sample will be obtained from the plant of a Regular Supplier twice a year, preferably in January and July. The sample will be split and tested for complete chemical and physical properties by supplier’s control laboratory and the Highway Division Ames Laboratory, respectively. The date of the split sampling and load out silo number will be identified on the sample identification report for later comparison.


4

Verification samples will be secured at the project site just before incorporation into the work. Test results, which do not comply with the specifications, may be considered sufficient cause to rescind approval to furnish cement. Construction that contains cement represented by verification samples showing deficient test results will be subject to the requirements of Article 1105.04 of the Standard Specifications.

B. Mill Test Reports

Mill Test Reports covering cement to be certified shall be submitted to the Cement and Concrete Engineer at the Central Laboratory at Ames, and if requested, to the District Materials Engineer who monitors the plant. An electronic form (Excel spreadsheet) is acceptable. The plant of a regular supplier is required to submit reports for ASTM C917, Standard Test method for Evaluation of Cement Strength Uniformity at least annually.

PROJECT DOCUMENTATION All approved cements shipped for intended use in Iowa shall be clearly identified. The producer of approved cement shall furnish for the project records, two invoices or bill of lading copies, which bear the following certification statement and the signature of an authorized representative of the producer:

CERTIFICATION STATEMENT

The material herein described has been sampled and tested as prescribed by the Highway Division of the Iowa Department of Transportation and complies with the applicable specification requirements for type ____________________________ cement.

Bin No. Signed Date

The bills of lading or invoices shall include project number, if available, source name, source location, source code, type, and quantity in the shipments. For blended cements (Types IP and IS), the above type designation shall include the suffix (X), where (X) equals the targeted percentage of slag or pozzolan in the product. In the case of truck shipments, these copies of the bill of lading or invoice shall accompany each load, and shall be retained at the project or ready mixed concrete plant for the project engineer records. In the case of rail shipments, these copies shall be mailed to the project or ready mix plant.

I.M. 403 Chemical Admixtures

For Concrete


1

Office of Materials

CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES FOR CONCRETE GENERAL Air entraining admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M154. Water reducing and retarding, water-reducing, high range water reducing, and non-chloride accelerating admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M194. All chemical admixtures used for Portland Cement Concrete shall meet the requirements outlined in Section 4103 and other applicable Iowa Department of Transportation Standard Specifications. For all types of admixtures, the source, brand name, and lot/batch number must be identifiable by markings on the container and by description on the invoice. The manufacturer and supplier shall maintain a record of shipment, which identifies the brand, lot/batch number and certified test data for each shipment. This data shall be made available to the contracting authority when requested. Material that (i) is suspected of being frozen, or (ii) exceeds its shelf life, or (iii) has been stored at plant site for more than 6 months shall be sampled and tested prior to use. MANUFACTURER, BRAND NAME APPROVAL, USAGE GUIDELINES To obtain approval for any admixture type, the manufacturer shall submit the following items to the Office of Materials in Ames: 1. Product identification including brand name and product number 2. Complete manufacturer's recommendation for usage 3. A copy of Level 1 product test report for the submitted admixture from the National

Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP). The test result reported will be evaluated for compliance with appropriate AASHTO specification

4. A current Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) 5. A one-quart (one-liter) representative sample may be required upon request Specific requirements for each type of admixture are as follows: A. Air Entraining Admixtures Air entraining admixtures shall meet the requirements of Iowa Department of Transportation

Standard Specifications Section 4103 and AASHTO M154. Approved brands of air entraining admixtures are listed in Appendix A of this IM. B. Retarding, and Water-Reducing & Retarding Admixtures for Bridge Deck and Drilled Shaft

Concrete Required Extended Working Time

Retarding, and water-reducing & retarding admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M194, Type B or Type D. These admixtures can be used for water reduction, retardation, or


2

water reduction and retardation for bridge deck and drilled shaft concrete when extended working time is required.

Approved brands of retarding, and water-reducing & retarding admixtures for bridge deck and drilled shaft concrete required extended working time are listed in Appendix B of this IM. Appendix B also contains a guideline for dosage rates and working time limits based on an estimated maximum temperature of the concrete during placement at the point of discharge. Working time limits have been determined by AASHTO T197 using 200 psi (1.38 MPa) penetration resistance and shall be provided by manufacturer. In addition to the AASHTO M194 requirements, a minimum working time of 4.5 hours is required for the Type I/II cement mix used the maximum normal recommended dosage of an admixture and tested at the normal temperature (between 70oF and 75oF).

C. Water-Reducing Admixtures

Water-reducing admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M194, Type A.

Approved brands of water-reducing admixtures with their proper dosage rates are listed in Appendix C of this IM.

Mid-range water reducers used for bridge overlay concrete (Class HPC-O Mixture) are noted in

Appendix C. In additional to the AASHTO M194 requirements, the use of these admixtures shall provide a maximum water content of 90% of the control at a normal dosage, and shall not result in a less initial set time as compared to the control The intent of these mid-range water reducers is to achieve a workable, dense, low water to cementitious material ratio concrete for bridge overlay as described in Article 2413.02 of Standard Specifications.

A combination of a water-reducing admixture and a retarding admixture may be used to aid in

air entrainment and slump retention.

D. High Range Water-Reducing Admixtures

High Range water-reducing admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M194, Type F.

Approved brands of high range water-reducing admixtures with their recommended dosage rates are listed in Appendix D of this IM. As indicated, some of these high range water reducers listed can be used to cast self-consolidated concrete. If needed, a viscosity-modified admixture produced by the same manufacturer is allowed to cast self-consolidated concrete.

E. Non-Chloride Accelerating Admixtures

Non-Chloride Accelerating Admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M194, Type C or E. Total chloride content, which may come from some indirect sources, shall not exceed 0.1% in the admixtures. Approved brands of non-Chloride accelerating admixtures with their recommended dosage rates are listed in Appendix E of this IM.


3

F. Admixtures for Prestressed & Precast Concrete

In addition to the admixtures listed in other Appendixes of this IM, the admixtures listed in Appendix F can also be used in prestressed and precast concrete. Benefits of those admixtures in Appendix F include increasing production rate, improvement of visual appeal, greater strength, more durable, better compactability, and extension of life of molds and machines parts for dry-cast concrete. In order to get an admixture approval, its producer shall prove that the use of the admixture will not reduce strength of concrete, and provide evidence of the above-mentioned benefits.

G. Retarding, Water-Reducing & Retarding Admixtures for Concrete with Normal Working Times Retarding, water-reducing and retarding admixtures shall meet the requirements of AASHTO

M194, Type B or Type D. These admixtures can be used for water reduction, retardation, or water reduction and retardation for concrete.

When use as a retarder is specified or authorized by the engineer, the contractor shall be

responsible for its use and application of the proper dosage rate. It may also be necessary to adjust the quantity of air entraining agent. When fly ash is used in the concrete, the dosage rate shall be applied to both the cement and fly ash combined.

Approved brands of water-reducing and retarding admixtures with their recommended dosage

rates are listed in Appendix G of this IM. A hydration stabilizer/controller will be evaluated for approval as a retarder (Type B) or a water reducing & retarding admixture (Type D), and listed and identified in Appendix B or Appendix G after approved.

If alternative requirements specified in AASHTO M194 are met, an admixture may be provisionally approved based on six-month test results. Producer shall submit one-year test results for final approval as soon as they become available. The failure or delay in submitting one-year results may lead to revoking of provisional approval. Approval of admixtures may be withdrawn because of deficient test results; product changes made after original approval, or unsatisfactory field performance. AGITATION OF ADMIXTURES Provision shall be made to stir, agitate, or circulate air-entraining admixtures prior to use so as to ensure a uniform and homogeneous mixture of solids and solution. It is the admixture supplier's responsibility to the contractor to provide a quality product. Therefore the admixture suppliers shall be responsible for the system used to maintain the quality product described above. Retarding, water-reducing, and high range water-reducing admixtures shall be stirred, circulated, or agitated thoroughly once a day prior to operation of the proportioning plant to maintain the solids in


4

suspension. The agitating shall be done in such a way that the solution in the holding or storage tank is circulated for a minimum of five minutes each day per 100 gallons (380 liters) of solution or any fraction thereof. A circulating pump with a 250-watt (1/3 hp) pump motor and a 5/8-inch (16 mm) inside diameter hose will be considered as a minimum requirement. The engineer shall approve the method of agitation. NOTE: Introducing air into a tank will not be acceptable. CERTIFICATION A. FOR MANUFACTURER At the beginning of each calendar year, a certification form will be sent to each manufacturer. If

the admixture to be supplied during that year is identical with the formulation previously tested and approved, then the manufacturer shall complete the quality control limits to be followed and return it to the Office of Materials in Ames, Iowa.

B. FOR DISTRIBUTOR At the beginning of each calendar year, a certification form will be sent to each distributor. The

distributor shall certify that admixtures to be supplied are not altered and will be distributed as received from the manufacturer.

MONITOR SAMPLING & TESTING, AND REJECTION OF MATERIAL Monitor samples will be obtained and sent to Central Materials for testing. Sampling frequency shall be according to IM 204. The sample size shall be one 1 pint (0.5 liter). For all admixtures, only one acceptance sample per lot/batch is necessary. No project assurance samples are needed. Samples will be tested for variation from the manufacturer target for solids, specific gravity and chloride content if needed. If the test result of a monitor sample is outside the quality control limits specified by AASHTO M154 or M194 and provided by the manufacturer, all material in the storage tank shall be rejected. The admixture company is not allowed to mix new replacement material with the non-compliance material. The admixture manufacturer is responsible for the condition of storage tanks and should determine if the tanks should be cleaned to prevent cross contamination and further product failures.

I.M. 405 White Pigmented

Curing Compound


1

Office of Materials

WHITE PIGMENTED CURING COMPOUND IN BULK STORAGE GENERAL White pigmented curing compound in bulk storage shall meet the requirements of Section 4105. The material shall be stored in clean bulk containers. The containers shall be capable of keeping the material well-mixed without damaging the emulsified curing compound. Diaphragm pumps and mechanical agitators are examples of acceptable means of mixing; gear pumps and other high shear devices are unacceptable. Each day the curing compound is used, the bulk tank of material shall be well mixed prior to application as described below. The material does not need to be mixed on days it is not used. The bulk tank shall not go longer than 4 days without mixing. The batch number shall be clearly marked on the bulk tank at all times. Different batches of cure may be mixed in the same bulk tank provided both batches of cure are acceptable. Cure from two different manufacturers shall not be mixed in the same bulk tank. Documentation in the form of an invoice or identification list from the supplier shall be furnished to the project engineer at the time of delivery to the project. This identification list shall contain the project number, county, contractor, brand, batch number of curing compound, Ames Lab Number representing the batch test result and the date delivered to the project. Acceptance of material will be based on successful completion of tests prior to shipment. Random monitor samples may be taken at any time. It is recommended that the project inspector obtain a monitor sample every two months the material remains on a job site without being used up. PRE-SHIPMENT SAMPLING Prior to shipment, an Iowa DOT employee, or designated representative shall witness the sampling of each batch of cure to be supplied to Iowa DOT projects. The mixing and sampling techniques shall be according to manufacturer recommendations. A one-quart (one-liter) sample shall be obtained and sent to the Central Materials Laboratory. Acceptance of the batch will be based on satisfactory test results. MONITOR SAMPLING A monitor sample may be obtained at any time. Prior to sampling, the bulk tank shall be well mixed. For tanks with mechanical agitating paddles, the material shall be mixed for 15 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes. This is true regardless of the amount of material in the tank. For tanks with circulating pumps, the material shall be drawn from the bottom of the tank and pumped to the top at a point furthest from where the material is drawn. The material shall be pumped for such a time that the material in the tank is turned over once but not more than two times.


2

For example: If a 5000-gallon (20,000-liter) tank is full and has a pump rated at 200 gallons (800 liters) per minute, it would take 25 minutes to turn the tank over once. 5000 gallons ÷ 200 gallons (20,000 liters ÷ 800 liters) per minute = 25 minutes. Therefore the tank should be mixed at least 25 minutes, but no longer than 50 minutes. If the tank was nearly empty with only 1000 gallons (4000 liters) of material, the tank should be mixed between 5 and 10 minutes. 1000 gallons ÷ 200 gallons per minute = 5 minutes or 4000 liters ÷ 800 liters per minute = 5 minutes. Samples should be taken from the discharge hose on the bulk tank. At least 5 gallons (20 liters) of material should flow through the hoses to ensure that freshly mixed material is being sampled. A one-quart (one-liter) sample should be obtained and sent to the Central Materials Laboratory. Non-compliant test results on any monitor sample shall be sufficient cause for rejection of a batch.

I.M. 491.17 Fly Ash

October 16, 2012 Matls. IM 491.17 Supersedes April 17, 2012

______________________________________________________________________________

1

Office of Materials

FLY ASH GENERAL Acceptance of fly ash will be on the basis of approved sources and upon satisfactory test results on samples obtained at the project site. Test results of fly ash shall meet the requirements of AASHTO M 295 and the Specifications of the Iowa Department of Transportation. Approval will require identification of the specific sources of the coal from which the ash is derived.

Approval is based upon fly ash produced when the power plant is utilizing specific materials, equipment, and processes. Any change in materials, equipment, and processes will void any source approval and require that a new approval be sought.

Fly ash produced immediately prior to shut down and after start up may be quite different from the fly ash normally obtained. The fly ash can be affected to the point that it does not meet specifications. Monitor samples or verification samples tested by the Iowa Department of Transportation not meeting specifications will void the source approval.

SOURCE APPROVAL

A. Certified Source

Approved certified sources of fly ash are listed in Appendix A of this IM. A source may furnish fly ash on the basis of certification provided:

1. The quality-monitoring program meets the minimum sampling and testing frequencies established in ASTM C 311. The tonnage units expressed therein are interpreted to refer to as-marketed material. The producer shall test at least one sample for each consecutive 30 days, for the months of March through October for conformance to Iowa Department of Transportation specifications. The test reports for all monitor samples shall be submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation within 45 days of the sampling date.

In addition to the test frequencies established in ASTM C 311, daily control tests shall be made to establish the uniformity of the fly ash being produced. Specific tests shall be agreed to by the engineer and may vary from source to source. As a minimum, the loss on ignition and percent retained on the No. 325 mesh sieve shall be determined.

Sample test records and shipment reports shall be available for inspection by Iowa Department of Transportation personnel for at least three years after the fly ash has been tested.

The Quality Control Laboratory will be considered approved if it is properly equipped and staffed to perform the tests required for an accepted Quality Control Program. Continued approval of the control laboratory will depend on the comparison of its test results with the Iowa Department of Transportation Central Laboratory. If major differences are found, an attempt to resolve them shall be made as quickly as possible. Continued unresolved differences in test results will be considered a basis for discontinuing control laboratory approval.


______________________________________________________________________________

2

2. The fly ash has shown conformance to the applicable specifications for a continuous period of at least the last six months.

3. Available alkali in approval sources of fly ashes shall be less than 1.50%. The value of available alkali in fly ash can be either determined by the test method specified in ASTM C 311, or by the statistical formula developed by Central Materials Laboratory based on the historical data. Fly ash sources that have available alkali between 1.50% and 2.50% will be approved based on satisfactory results of the following test. Mortar bars made per ASTM C 311 with 15% and 30% fly ash, Type I cement with 0.70% to 0.80% of alkali (Na2O) equivalent (two cements may be mingled to achieve this alkali range), and Pyrex aggregate shall exhibit no more than 10% expansion over non-fly ash mortar bars at an age of 60 days. Testing shall be performed by a laboratory approved by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

4. Each shipment of fly ash is properly certified.

The supplier of certified fly ash shall furnish for the project records two invoices or bill of lading copies that bear the following certification statement and the signature of a responsible company representative:

Certification Statement

The material herein described has been sampled and tested as prescribed by the Highway Division of the Iowa Department of Transportation and complies with the applicable specification requirements for Class _____ fly ash.

Date ____________________ Signed

The bills of lading or invoices shall include project number, if available, source name, source location, source code, class, and quantity in the shipment.

These copies of the bill of lading or invoice shall accompany each load, and shall be retained at the project or ready mix plant for the Project Engineer records.

The truck tanker shall have a copy of the invoice or bill of lading attached directly to the tanker portion of the truck. When the tanker unloads the contents at the project site, the unloading time and material final destination (storage "pig" number) shall be marked on this copy and left with the invoice or bill of lading copies.

In the case of more than one project being supplied by a ready mix plant, the plant shall furnish the Project Engineer, for each project, either a copy of each bill of lading or invoice, or a listing of the bills of lading or invoices representing the fly ash incorporated in the project. This listing shall bear the signature of a responsible supplier representative.

The source, car or truck number, ticket number, ash type, and quantity of each shipment of fly ash used on a project shall be recorded on Form #830211, or Form #830224, whichever is applicable.


______________________________________________________________________________

3

5. At least one monitor sample shall be secured annually from power plant sites, located in Iowa or within 50 miles from Iowa borders, and be tested by the Iowa Department of Transportation. The test results of monitor samples shall be in compliance with current specifications.

6. Co-Mingling of Fly Ash

Mixing of fly ash from different sources, different generating plants/units, or different classes into one storage bin or silo will not be allowed, with the following exception. When the same coal stockpile, the same brand and model of generating equipment, the same process of operation, and the same brand and model of fly ash collection equipment are used; fly ashes from different units at a generating plant may be considered for approval as a single blend and stored in a silo. To apply for the approval, the producer or marketer shall provide the composite sample test data (composite samples should represent 3200 ton increments of fly ash collection or the month whichever comes first) from the separate units for the previous 12 months. The Office of Materials will conduct a statistical t-test to compare major physical and chemical properties of the two fly ash sources. If the t-test results show the test data means to be equal at a significance level of 0.05, the blending process may be allowed. Annual analysis will be required for continued approval. Blending will only be allowed within the storage silo. At ready mixed concrete plants and paving batch plants, a fly ash storage bin shall be emptied, as far as practical, prior to refilling from a different source.

B. Sources for Pavement Subsealing and Jacking

1. Fly ash to be used for pavement subsealing and jacking may be accepted on an approved source basis as listed in Appendix B.

2. A mixture of 3 parts fly ash and 1 part Portland cement shall have an initial setting time

between 30 minutes and 3.0 hours. Initial set is defined as 100-psi resistance when measured in accordance with ASTM C 403.

PROJECT ASSURANCE SAMPLING Required verification samples will be secured at the project site just before incorporation into the work. Test results, which do not comply with the specifications, may be considered sufficient cause to rescind approval to furnish fly ash on certification basis. Construction, which contains fly ash represented by verification samples, which show deficient test results, will be subject to the requirements of Article 1105.04 of the Standard Specifications. Depending upon certain chemical characteristics, fly ash is marketed as either Class F (non-cementing) or Class C (self-cementing) ash. The identification submitted with the verification samples sent to the Central Laboratory should include the normal descriptive information as well as


______________________________________________________________________________

the source of the ash, the marketer and the class of the ash. Precautionary measures shall be taken to prevent cement contamination of fly ash samples obtained at the proportioning plants. The samples shall be taken preferably as follows: 1. Directly from the delivery transport vehicles 2. Drop a sufficient amount of material in a clean container or a clean end loader bucket, and

obtain a representative sample.

Barsplice Products, Inc. BPI Barsplicer are available for bar-sizes No. 4 through No. 11 (No. 13 through 36), Grade 60 (420). Bars can be spliced by the BPI bar-splicer methods. The bar-splicer system uses standard unified national coarse threads. Threaded couplers are used with bars that have matching exterior threads cut or rolled directly onto the ends of the reinforcing bars. The thread length on the bars is controlled by BPI (Barsplice Products, Inc.) to ensure proper thread engagement. Manufacturer recommended installation tools are required. Contact Tel: (937)275-8700 Fax: (937)275-9566 Email: [email protected] Dayton/Superior Dowel Bar Splicer System The Dayton /Superior Dowel Bar Splicer System is made of two pieces. 1. The Dowel Bar Splicer (DB-SAE) is a one-piece unit, integrally forged from Grade 60 rebar

material. It is available in #4 through #11 sizes. 2. The Dowel IN (DI) is also manufactured from Grade 60 rebar material and is available in

sizes corresponding to the DB-SAE splicer. The end of the bar is enlarged by forging before threading so that the cross sectional area of the bar is not reduced during threading operations.

Both pieces of the completed splice are manufactured from one single size of rebar material. The system does not require welding, coupling or extra pieces. Dowel-ins are available straight or hooked. The Dayton/Richmond Dowel Bar Splicer System is only approved as plain (with no epoxy coating). The Standard Taper-Lock System consists of two taper-threaded pieces of reinforcing steel bar and a taper-threaded steel coupling sleeve. The threads of the tapered end of each reinforcing bar are engaged into the taper-threaded coupling sleeve to assemble the splice. Each end must be tightened to a specified torque value depending on the bar size and as specified by the splice manufacturer. Lenton (Erico) Reinforcing Bar Coupler Erico manufactures Lenton mechanical splicers. It is a tapered, threaded coupler, manufactured from high quality steel and behaves as continuous lengths of reinforcing steel bars by providing full strength in tension, compression and stress reversal applications. The bar ends must be taper threaded using manufacturer’s bar threading equipment to ensure proper taper and thread engagement. Bars shall be installed to the manufacturer’s requirements. The Lenton mechanical splice can be tightened using conventional wrenches in 4 - 4 1/2 turns. Erico also supplies adjustable torque wrenches. This wrench can be used to both install couplers and verify/inspect torque values after installation.
