3. CERTIFICATION

3.1 The supplier of the concrete shall furnish to SEPTA with each batch of concrete before unloading at the site, a delivery ticket on which is printed, stamped or written containing at a minimum the following information to represent the actual material delivered in each truck.

a) Name of ready-mix batch plant b) Serial number of ticket c) Date and truck number d) Specific designation of job (name and location) e) Amount of concrete (cubic yards) delivered and daily running total f) Class of concrete and trial mix number g) Time loaded. h) Time of completion of mixing i) Method of concrete mixing j) The total weight in pounds of the total cementations materials k) Total amount batch water used in pounds, exclusive of the surface moisture on the aggregate l) Type and name of admixture and amount m) Indication and certification that concrete meets the requirements of Section 2

3.2 Mixing and Delivery: The supplier must have sufficient delivery capacity (number of available trucks) to facilitate timely completion of SEPTA’s largest scale projects. Typical requirements: 60 cy/hr continuously, up to 300 CY total daily. It is SEPTA’s experience that to perform adequately; the supplier must possess a minimum fleet of approximately 15-20 trucks with 10-12 CY individual capacity. The supplier must demonstrate to the satisfaction of SEPTA’s project manager that they have sufficient delivery capacity. All deliveries must be available within 24 hours of request by SEPTA’s representative. SEPTA, at its discretion, may dictate the time of day in which deliveries shall take place. SEPTA is not obligated to order any specific minimum amount. The supplier must also provide and maintain adequate two-way communications between the concrete plant and the work site to provide both uniformity and control of the concrete mixture.

3.3 Prior to the execution of the Contract, the manufacturer shall furnish a statement to SEPTA, giving the dry weights of cement and aggregate, type and name of admixture, water per cubic yard that will be used in the manufacture of concrete, and test results for this formula identii3ring slump, air content and compressive strengths at 3, 7 and 28 days. In addition, the supplier must be listed in Bulletin 42-Producers of Ready-Mixed Concrete (Publication No. 42), prepared by PADOT.

4. TESTS

4.1 SEPTA shall be given all reasonable access without charge for the procurement of samples of fresh concrete at time of placement to determine conformance of the sample to this specification.

4.2 Slump and air-content tests may be made at time of placement at SEPTA’s option, as often as is necessary for control checks and acceptance purposes.

4.3 If the measured slump or air-content falls outside the specified limits, a check test shall be made immediately on another portion of the same sample. In the event of a second failure, the concrete shall be considered to have failed the requirements of the specification.

4.4 Strength tests may be made by SEPTA, at its own expense, in accordance with ASTM Methods C31 and C39.

4.5 In the event that the concrete tested in accordance with the above requirements fails to meet the strength requirements, the manufacturer of the concrete and SEPTA shall confer to determine whether agreement can be reached as to what adjustment, if any, shall be made. If an agreement cannot be reached, the decision shall be made by a panel of three qualified engineers, one of whom shall be designated by SEPTA, one by the manufacturer, and the third chosen by these two members of the panel. The question of responsibility for the cost of such arbitration shall be determined by the panel. Its decision shall be binding on both parties.
