Specifications include, but are not limited to: Special Provision has been written to address the use of increased amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) used within mixes produced for projects in the WVDOH construction program. The increased use of RAP can become an effective measure to help reduce overall construction costs and ultimately allow the WVDOH to treat more mileage within the established annual budgets. This will also allow the WVDOH to accomplish savings while at the same time, doing so in an environmentally responsible manner. However, it is important that any steps taken to use increased amounts of RAP be performed in a manner that will also not be detrimental to the quality of the asphalt concrete mixes produced. The WVDOH will allow the increased use of RAP in Marshall Base 1 and Base 2, and Superpave 19 mm, 25 mm, and 37.5 mm mixes up to 25%. Initially, all mix designs shall be submitted in accordance to MP 401.02.24, with the exception that Section 5.0, Line 5.4 pertaining to RAP contents between 16% and 25% will be waived. The addition of up to 25% RAP will be allowed in Marshall Base 1, and Superpave 25 mm and 37.5 mm mixes for all applications provided that the processing of RAP is consistent with that discussed for State Funded projects below. For Marshall Base 2 and SP 19 mm, the following criteria shall be used for acceptance during production: Samples will be taken generally as per MP 401.07.21, by the Contractor along with WVDOH personnel. Each sample then will be tested by the Contractor in order to determine AC and gradation, and all such testing shall be witnessed by the WVDOH. The contractor must have an established ignition oven correction factor for both AC Content and gradation for each mixture. In addition this correction factor must be established prior to the project and will only be valid during the paving season it was established. WVDOH will monitor plant QC Samples for AC and gradation for the mix being produced. The contractor must have an established ignition oven correction factor for both AC Content and gradation for each mixture. In addition this correction factor must be established prior to the project and will only be valid during the paving season it was established. These results shall then be evaluated for additional pay factors as per Table 401.13.3.1 of SP 401 Square Yard PWL, and then applied in the formula shown below. A lot will be five samples or portion thereof with a minimum of three samples. Testing frequency shall be a minimum of 1 sample per 1,000 tons of daily production (maximum of 750 tons for adjusted sublots) and shall include gradation and AC content for each sample. There shall be at least one sample per day of production. Lots may cover more than one project, but no more than three. Any penalties calculated shall be applied to all the material represented by the testing of the evaluated lot. Portions less than two samples shall be incorporated into the previous lot. There will be no incentive for PWL from 96 to 100.
