ell 11 4e I It It tt r In the event of an unfavorable comparison between the Resolution test results and Quality Control test results , make the necessary adjustments to assure that future comparisons are favorable . 334-5 . 7 Independent Verification Testing : 334-5 . 7 . 1 Plant : The Contractor shall provide sample boxes and take samples as directed by the Engineer for Independent Verification testing. Obtain enough material for three complete sets of tests (two samples for Independent Verification testing by the Engineer and one sample for testing by the Contractor) . If agreed upon by both the Engineer and the Contractor, only one sample for Independent Verification testing by the Engineer may be obtained. Independent Verification samples will be reheated at the target roadway compaction temperature for 1 - 1 /2 hours plus or minus 5 minutes, reduced to the appropriate testing size, and conditioned and tested as described in 334- 5 . 1 . 1 . The Contractor ' s split sample, if tested immediately after sampling, shall be reduced to the appropriate testing size, and conditioned and tested as described in 334- 5 . 1 . 1 . If the Contractor ' s sample is not tested immediately after sampling, then the sample shall be reheated at the target roadway compaction temperature for 1 - 1 /2 hours plus or minus 5 minutes , reduced to the appropriate testing size , and conditioned and tested as described in 334- 5 . 1 . 1 . The Contractor ' s test results shall be provided to the Engineer within one working day from the time the sample was obtained . If any of the Independent Verification test results do not meet the requirements of Table 334- 5 , then a comparison of the Independent Verification test results and the Contractor ' s test results , if available, will be made . If a comparison of the Independent Verification test results and the Contractor ' s test results meets the precision values of Table 334 - 6 for the material properties in question, or if the Contractor ' s test results are not available , then the Independent Verification test results are considered verified and the Contractor shall cease production of the asphalt mixture until the problem is adequately resolved (to the satisfaction of the Engineer) , unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the problem can immediately be (or already has been) resolved . Address any material represented by the failing test results in accordance with 334- 5 . 9 . 5 If a comparison of the Independent Verification test results and the Contractor ' s test results does not meet the precision values of Table 334 - 6 for the material properties in question , then the second Independent Verification sample shall be tested by the Engineer for the material properties in question . If a comparison between the first and second Independent Verification test results does not meet the precision values of Table 334- 6 for the material properties in question, then the first Independent Verification test results are considered unverified for the material properties in question and no action shall be taken. If a comparison between the first and second Independent Verification test results meets the precision values of Table 334 -6 for the material properties in question, then the first Independent Verification sample is considered verified and the Contractor shall cease production of the asphalt mixture until the problem is adequately resolved (to the satisfaction of the Engineer) , unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the problem can immediately be (or already has been) resolved . Address any material represented by the failing test results in accordance with 334- 5 . 9 . 5 . The Engineer has the option to use the Independent Verification sample for comparison testing as specified in 334 - 6 . 334-5 . 7. 2 Roadway : Obtain five 6 inch diameter roadway cores within 24 hours of placement, as directed by the Engineer, for Independent Verification testing .
