(a) When ASTM Designation: D 2922 or AASHTO Designation: T 238 is used, the frequency and areal distribution of such tests shall comply with the requirements specified in California Test 23'1. For each determination of relative compaction by ASTM or AASHTO test methods, laboratory compaction tests per ASTM Designation: D 1557 or AASHTO Designation: T 180''shall be performed, except when the use of previous laboratory maximum dry densities are allowed. Previous laboratory maximum dry densities may be used to determine relative compaction if the material, as determined by the Engineer, is from the same general excavation or plant source and has the same visual characteristics of color, gradation, and sail classification as the previous laboratory maximum dry densities. The use of previous laboratory maximum dry densities will not be permitted for more than 5 working days or for more than 14' determinations of relative compaction; 8-1.04 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING The Contractor`s attention is directed to Section 6-3.02, "Testing by Contractor" of the Standard Specifications regarding responsibility for quality control. The acceptance testing performed by the Agency 46' shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for pe ng quality cantrc�I testing as required b�`the above and ether provisions of the Standard Specifications and these special provisions. -1.05 METRIC CONVERSIONS Project Plans, County Standard Plans, Construction staking and project Special Provisions (dual units)are in Imperial(English)units.

END OF SECTION 02900 STONE VALLEY ROAD Replanting and Beautification.Project LANDSCAPE PLANTING ..................... ...... Page 22 of 23 APPENDIX A IRRIGATION SYSTEM AND PLANTING COST BREAK-DESIGN AND PAYMENT 1.01 COST BREAK-DOWN The Contractor shall furnish the Engineer a cost break-down for the contract lump sum items of planting and irrigation system. Cost break-down tables shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval at the pre-construction meeting after the contract has been approved. Cost break-down tables shall be approved, in writing, by the Engineer before any partial payment will be made for the applicable items of planting and irrigation system involved. Cost break-downs shall be completed and furnished in the format shown in the sample of the cost break-downs included in this section. Line item descriptions of work shown in the sample are the minimum to be submitted. Additional line item descriptions of work may be designated by the Contractor. If the Contractor elects to designate additional line item descriptions of work, the quantity, value and amount for those line items shall be completed in the same manner as for the unit descriptions shown in the sample. The line items and quantities given in the samples are to show the manner of preparing the cost break-downs to be furnished by the Contractor. The Contractor shall determine the quantities required to complete the work shown on the plans. The quantities and their values shall be included in the cost break-downs submitted to the Engineer for approval. The Contractor shall be responsible for the accuracy of the quantities and values used in the cost break-downs submitted for approval. The sum of the amounts for the line items of work listed in each cost break-down table for planting and for irrigation system work shall be equal to the contract lump sum price bid for Planting and Irrigation System. Overhead and profit, except for time-related overhead, shall be included in each individual line item of work listed in a cost break-down table. No adjustment in compensation will be made in the contract lump sum prices paid for planting and irrigation system due to differences between the quantities shown in the cost break-downs furnished by the Contractor and the quantities required to complete the work as shown on the plans and as specified in these special provisions. Individual line item values in the approved cost break-down tables will be used to determine partial ak payments during the progress of the work and as the basis for calculating an adjustment in compensation for the contract lump sum items of planting and irrigation system due to changes in line items of work ordered by the Engineer. When the total of ordered changes to line items of work increases or decreases the lump sum price bid for either Planting or Irrigation System by more than 25 percent, the adjustment in compensation for the applicable lump sum item will be determined in the same manner specified for increases and decreases in the total pay quantity of an item of work in Section 4-1.03B, "Increased or Decreased Quantities," of the Standard Specifications.
