Blended Local Sand Clause Samples
The 'Blended Local Sand' clause defines the requirements and standards for sand that is sourced locally and mixed with other materials to meet specific project needs. Typically, this clause outlines the acceptable proportions of local sand and any additives or blending materials, as well as quality benchmarks such as grain size, cleanliness, and suitability for construction purposes. Its core function is to ensure that the blended sand used in a project meets both local sourcing requirements and technical specifications, thereby promoting cost efficiency and compliance with environmental or regulatory standards.
Blended Local Sand. Crushed Material Content: A minimum of twenty five percent (25%) crushed imported sand or crushed local stone of equivalent quality must be used to manufacture this blended sand material. Accordingly, for the purpose of this blended winter sand specification, the definition of crushed shall mean a material having fractured faces, or similar natural angles, on 50% or more of the material retained on the 2.36 mm sieve. If the blended material will not meet the above specification using a 25% crushed stone - 75% local material mixture, then the Contractor must increase the amount of crushed stone required to produce this specification. As noted in Schedule A, Section 1, the proper blend to meet the above specifications will be determined by the Department.
