Correction of Deficiencies. If any portion of pavement fails to comply with minimum acceptable quality requirements, the Contractor is required to make corrections as directed by the Engineer and as herein specified. It is required that such corrections will be made as work progresses and not reserved for a separate operation at some later date. No payment will be made for material placed in excess outside of the specified allowable tolerances over grade or nominal plan dimensions, for corrective work of any type, or for material that must be removed to correct deficiencies. Time lost on the Contractor’s CPM schedule due to the necessity to perform corrective work is time fully under the Contractor’s control and is neither compensable nor excusable. The Contractor shall replace deficient pavements as directed by the Engineer and in accordance with §105-08 Removal of Unacceptable and Unauthorized Work so as not to interfere with the operations of the Thruway Authority or others using the area. Existing pavement shall be removed as necessary to provide square joints for the full depth of the course. The Engineer will verify the thickness of the hot mix asphalt mat after compaction using a penetration probe; average thickness of a sublot would be determined by averaging five such readings. The area for correction of deficiencies in surface smoothness and surface grade tolerance shall be those areas which fail to satisfy quality requirements. The area to be replaced for deficiency of in-place voids shall be the total area paved with the deficient paving lot.
