Applied GeoScience has a very experienced professional staff with a thorough
understanding of the material testing requirements necessary to successfully
accomplish the Village's projects. They are prequalified by IDOT to perform this
work and have the capability to respond to our specific project needs. They have
successfully accomplished these same services for numerous communities in
recent years and received positive references from those communities. Applied
GeoScience provided services to the Village in 2018 and 2020 for the same
2
construction projects.
It is Village staff's opinion that Applied GeoScience will provide high quality
material testing services at a reasonable cost. The services listed in the proposal
are based on estimated jobsite work hours using averages from previous years
and prorated for the anticipated work for this year. Many factors can influence the
actual jobsite work hours for quality assurance testing. In order to allow for
contingencies and the possible need for additional testing, staff recommends that
the contract award be in the full amount of the budget of $40,000.00.
Alternatives
1. Accept Applied Geoscience's proposal to provide materials testing services for
2022 Street Resurfacing and Sidewalk Improvement Projects.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the proposal from Applied
Geoscience to provide Material Testing Services for the 2022 Street Resurfacing
Program and Sidewalk Improvement Projects for a not to exceed the amount of
$40,000.00.

LOCAL QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY MANAGEMENT QC/QA
Effective: January 1, 2022
Replace the first five paragraphs of Article 1030.06 of the Standard Specifications with the
following:
"1030.06 Quality Management Program. The Quality Management Program (QMP) will be
Quality Control / Quality Assurance (QC/QA) according to the following."
Delete Article 1030.06(d)(1) of the Standard Specifications.
Revise Article 1030.09(g)(3) of the Standard Specifications to read:
"(3) If core testing is the density verification method, the Contractor shall provide personnel
and equipment to collect density verification cores for the Engineer. Core locations
will be determined by the Engineer following the document "Hot -Mix Asphalt QC/QA
Procedure for Determining Random Density Locations" at density verification intervals
defined in Article 1030.09(b). After the Engineer identifies a density verification
location and prior to opening to traffic, the Contractor shall cut a 4 in. (100 mm)
diameter core. With the approval of the Engineer, the cores may be cut at a later time."
Revise Article 1030.09(h)(2) of the Standard Specifications to read:
"(2) After final rolling and prior to paving subsequent lifts, the Engineer will identify the
random density verification test locations. Cores or nuclear density gauge testing will
be used for density verification. The method used for density verification will be as
selected below.
Density Verification Method
❑
Cores
❑
Nuclear Density Gauge (Correlated when
paving >_ 3,000 tons per mixture
Density verification test locations will be determined according to the document "Hot -
Mix Asphalt QC/QA Procedure for Determining Random Density Locations". The
density testing interval for paving wider than or equal to 3 ft (1 m) will be 0.5 miles (800
m) for lift thicknesses of 3 in. (75 mm) or less and 0.2 miles (320 m) for lift thicknesses
greater than 3 in. (75 mm). The density testing interval for paving less than 3 ft (1 m)
wide will be 1 mile (1,600 m). If a day's paving will be less than the prescribed density
testing interval, the length of the day's paving will be the interval for that day. The
density testing interval for mixtures used for patching will be 50 patches with a
minimum of one test per mixture per project.
If core testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will witness the
Contractor coring, and secure and take possession of all density samples at the
0
LR1030-2
density verification locations. The Engineer will test the cores collected by the
Contractor for density according to Illinois Modified AASHTO T 166 or AASHTO T 275.
If nuclear density gauge testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will
conduct nuclear density gauge tests. The Engineer will follow the density testing
procedure detailed in the document "Illinois Modified ASTM D 2950, Standard Test
Method for Density of Bituminous Concrete In -Place by Nuclear Method".
A density verification test will be the result of a single core or the average of the nuclear
density tests at one location. The results of each density test must be within
acceptable limits. The Engineer will promptly notify the Contractor of observed
deficiencies."
Revise the seventh paragraph and all subsequent paragraphs in Section D. of the document
"Hot -Mix Asphalt QC/QA Initial Daily Plant and Random Samples" to read:
"Mixtures shall be sampled from the truck at the plant by the Contractor following the same
procedure used to collect QC mixture samples (Section A). This process will be witnessed
by the Engineer who will take custody of the verification sample. Each sample bag with a
verification mixture sample will be secured by the Engineer using a locking ID tag. Sample
boxes containing the verification mixture sample will be sealed/taped by the Engineer
using a security ID label."
