The referee laboratory will be designated by the Owner from a Roster Rotation List maintained by the<br />

Owner for this purpose. The Contract Administrator shall arrange for the delivery <strong>of</strong> samples to the<br />

referee laboratory. The results generated by the referee laboratory shall be used to determine the<br />

payment factors for the acceptance <strong>of</strong> the disputed properties for the disputed lots <strong>of</strong> hot mix. The<br />

results shall be binding on the Contractor and the Owner.<br />

When QC and QA results do not agree, for any referee testing which is carried out without an outlier in<br />

the referee results, the cost <strong>of</strong> referee testing, including sample delivery, shall be borne by the party<br />

whose payment factor is further removed from that generated by the referee laboratory. However, if the<br />

payment factor determined by the referee results is exactly in between that determined by the QC and<br />

QA laboratories, the cost <strong>of</strong> the referee services shall be split between the Owner and the Contractor.<br />

If the QC and QA results agree, the cost <strong>of</strong> referee testing, including sample delivery, shall be borne by<br />

the party requesting the referee testing.<br />

Referee testing shall be charged at the rates outlined elsewhere in the contract.<br />

The QC and QA results shall be deemed to agree if the difference in the compaction payment factor and<br />

the mix properties payment factor calculated using the QA and QC test results are both less than 0.025.<br />

When the QC and QA results agree, the payment factor obtained using the QC results shall apply unless<br />

either party requests referee testing. If this comparison criteria is not met, the QC and QA results shall<br />

be deemed to disagree and Referee testing may be requested by either party as described in this special<br />

provision.<br />

Measurement for Payment<br />

Measurement for payment for above tender items shall be by mass in tonnes according to the<br />

requirements <strong>of</strong> the Contract Documents. Measurement for payment for above tender items used for<br />

temporary ramping specified in the Contract Documents shall be measured in tonnes. Removal <strong>of</strong><br />

temporary ramping specified in the Contract Documents shall not be measured for payment.<br />

Basis <strong>of</strong> Payment<br />

Payment at the Contract price for the above tender item(s) shall include full compensation for all labour,<br />

equipment, and materials required to do the work.<br />
