Commonwealth, the DSA for each project must be kept whole and separate

from other projects as well as other commodity and non-commodity products

at the quarry.

5. Approved DSA material may only be utilized on the designated project.

Substituting DSA from other projects is strictly forbidden.

6. The Forest District Contact and/or their designated representative(s) may

perform quality assurance and quality control visits to the quarry and DSA

load site at any time over the duration of this contract. Visits may be to

inspect and test the DSA for this specific project; observe quarry operations;

or for any other reasons deemed pertinent as determined by the DCNR.

The Contractor must provide transportation and/or escort the DCNR

representative(s) to the DSA load site over the duration of the project.

C. DSA Material Requirements

1. All material must be certified to not degrade the environment nor create

health hazards.

(PennDOT)-qualified quarry source. Quarry source must be approved for the

production of C2A, as listed in PennDOT Bulletin 14.

3. Wearing course material must be structurally durable so that weathering and

traffic loads do not result in the creation of dust, sediment, or pollution.

4. All driving surface aggregate is to be derived from natural stone formations.

a) Stone is defined as rock that has been crushed; rock is defined as

consolidated mineral matter.

b) For use in this program, both are restricted to that which has been mined

or quarried from existing geologic bedrock formations.

5. All components of the aggregate mix are to be derived by crushing parent

rock material.

6. LA Abrasion Less than 45% passing. Los Angeles Abrasion test, AASHTO

T-96 (ASTM C 131) will be used to determine this property.

7. The Plasticity Index (PI) of the DSA must be a maximum of 4. The laboratory

test required for these results is the ASTM D4318 – Standard Test Method for

Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils.

8. Aggregate must be within the range of pH 6 - pH 12.45 as measured by EPA

9045C.

9. Material is to be delivered and placed at optimum moisture content, or up to

2% below that value, as determined for that particular source. The optimum

percentage moisture is to be determined using Proctor Test ASTM D698,

procedure C, Standard.

10. DSA must be properly mixed and at the proper moisture content before it is

loaded onto the transport vehicles.

11. Tarps are to be used to cover 100% of the load's exposed surface from the

time of loading until immediately before dumping, including standing time

waiting to dump.

D. Rejection of DSA Material

1. If the created DSA material fails up to two separate compliance tests, as

outlined in Section III, Subsections A & B, of this Statement of Work, the

DCNR reserves the right to disqualify the Contractor as non-responsible. The

Contractor may not receive payment for failed DSA material.

2. If material is delivered to the project site that the DCNR suspects will not

meet the required specifications as defined in Section III, Subsections A & B,

of this Statement of Work, the delivery may be rejected. The DCNR may

request to visit the quarry to observe the quarry conditions and project-

specific DSA pile.

If necessary, additional testing may be requested if the DCNR has concerns

that the DSA material has been compromised. The Contractor may not

receive payment for rejected DSA material or the delivery of the rejected DSA

material. In the instance of additional testing, no work can be completed until

the test results are received.

E. Delivery of DSA

1. A fully executed, signed DCNR Bureau of Forestry DSA Certification Form

must be provided to the on-site DCNR representative at the time of initial

delivery. This form must apply to the specific stockpile of DSA material from

the Contractor’s source. The form certifies that the DSA material meets all

specifications and requirements referenced in this Statement of Work.

a) Should quarry conditions change, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to

provide an updated, executed certification form; the form must be

provided to the Forest District Contact prior to the delivery of the DSA

material.

2. The Contractor cannot begin delivery of the DSA to the job site until the

following four conditions are met:

a) A fully executed Purchase Order is received by the Contractor, and

District Contact, and

c) The DSA Material for the project has been created, tested, and approved

by the DCNR, and

d) The Forest District Contact for the DCNR has given the Notice to Proceed

with delivery to the Contractor.

3. Should environmental conditions preclude the start of delivery of DSA

material, the DCNR may delay delivery until conditions are satisfactory for

paver-placement and compaction. Any such delay is at the discretion of the

DCNR and will be relayed to the Contractor in writing.

4. Delivery must be at a rate of 1,100 tons of aggregate per day.

5. No material can be delivered before 7:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m.

must be immediately relayed to the Forest District Contact.

7. All trucks must be driven by individuals capable of placing material in a paver.

F. Placement and Rolling of DSA Material

1. DSA material is to be placed using a fully functioning, track mounted motor

paver capable of spreading stone to a width of 12 to 18 feet in a single pass

and creating a ½ inch per foot (4%) crown in the surface. Material must be

placed in a single, loose lift of 6 inches.

2. The surface of the road is to average 16 feet in width and to be crowned to

DCNR's specifications.

3. The Contractor must provide, at the beginning and ending of DSA

placements, a paving notch across the width of the subgrade. The paving

notch must have a minimum depth equal to the compacted DSA placement

and a sufficient length to facilitate transition into the existing road surface.

The paving notch must be created by a milling machine or portable milling

attachment.

4. The Contractor must have a minimum of four employees present during

placement. Three of these four employees on site must operate the paver at

all times during placement activities.

5. After placement, the material is to be compacted by the Contractor to an

average finished depth of 4 inches.

vibratory, double-steel drum roller. The roller must be equipped with a

fully operational water tank and spray nozzles, as well as properly

adjusted drum scraper bars.

b) Use of alternate compaction equipment will be approved only at the

discretion of the DCNR.

c) DSA material must be compacted to a minimum of 95% of the dry-mass

(dry-weight) density, determined according to ASTM D698, procedure C,

Standard. The DCNR, through its designated representative(s), will

determine the in-place density according to AASHTO T310.

6. The Contractor is responsible for repairs to any damage to the general job

site, including but not limited to drainage structures and the existing road

surface, caused by the Contractor during the delivery and placement of the

DSA. The Contractor must provide the equipment necessary to remediate

said damage.

7. If freezing temperatures or precipitation are forecast that may cause the

material to freeze or prevent the material from drying, paver placement and

compaction may be postponed at the discretion of the DCNR.

G. Use of Roads

1. The DCNR does not guarantee the successful Contractor the use of roads

maintained by the PennDOT, townships, or other agencies or owners.

2. The Contractor must contact the PennDOT-posted highway coordinator

and/or officials of other roads needed for this project to inquire about possible

restrictions, including weight limits, that would prevent or limit use.
