Common use of Blended Local Sand Clause in Contracts

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. A 100% local sand will be accepted provided it meets the gradations above and has fractured faces, or similar angles, on 50% or more of the material retained on the 2.36 mm sieve.
