2.5 RECYCLED PLANT MIX (RAP)
RAP is salvaged, milled, pulverized, broken, or crushed bituminous material that may have minor coatings of dust or
aggregate particles with no discernable seams, pockets, or amounts of base, soil, or deleterious material.
Prepare and maintain a RAP processing and stockpiling Quality Control plan and make these records available to the
Engineer.
RAP will be allowed in Superpave HMA mixes. Produce the mixture in accordance with Section 810 and 814 when using RAP.
Select the mass of RAP included in the mixture, the type of RAP used in the mixture, and the extent of RAP processing
necessary to meet the specifications. The District will not change the contract unit price if RAP is used in the mixture.
If RAP material is to be used from the project, obtain a representative sample of material for use in the mix design.
The mass of RAP used in Superpave HMA is calculated as the mass of asphalt binder, in percent, that the RAP contributes to the
total mass of binder in the mixture.
A. RAP Binder Percentages and Binder Grade Selection
Determine the percentage of RAP used and the binder grade required to meet specifications. Select the percentage of RAP
used in the mix by determining the contribution of the RAP binder toward the total binder in the mix, by weight.
It may be necessary to use a softer virgin PG binder than is specified in the contract to compensate for the age hardened binder
contributed by the RAP. Adjust the binder grade specified in the contract as needed to account for the stiffening effect of the
2017 ACHD Supplement to the 2017 ISPWC
Page 11
aged binder in the RAP. Ensure the adjustment will result in a composite binder that meets the contract requirement. The
method for determining the binder grade adjustment in Superpave HMA mixtures incorporating RAP is designated Level 1 and
Level 2, as shown in Table 810.1. Each level has a range of percentages that represent the contribution of the RAP binder
toward the total binder, by weight.
Table 810.1 ‐ Grade Adjustment for RAP usage
Level RAP binder by weight of the Binder Grade Adjustment to compensate for the
total binder in the mixture, % stiffness of the asphalt binder in the RAP

2 > 17 to 30 Unless otherwise shown on the plans, the selected binder
grade adjustment for the binder grade specified on the plans is
one grade lower for the high and the low temperatures
designated.
or;
determine the asphalt binder grade adjustment as shown in Level
3.
Table 810.2 identifies the typical binder grades used and the recommended binder grade adjustments for each binder grade at
the RAP level described in Table 810.1. If the binder grade adjustment is not in Table 810.2, use Table 810.1 to determine the
binder grade adjustment needed.

Use the following equation to determine the percent of RAP by weight of mix (X%):
X%=c(a/b)
Where: a = optimum AC content, % in mixture to produce 4.0% air voids
b = % AC in the RAP (from chemical extraction and/or AASHTO T 308 burn)
c = percent of RAP binder by weight of the total binder desired in the mix
X = desired RAP percent by total weight of mix
The following is an example of the calculation:
Total RAP binder desired equals 17% of Total binder in the mixture (X%). If RAP will contribute 5.1% AC (b) and the desired
RAP percent by total weight of mix (optimum AC) is 5.8% (c) then:

B. RAP Categories
Provide RAP that complies with one of the following categories:
Category 1: Material being from or traceable to an ACHD or Idaho Transportation Department project. The Engineer
will accept Category 1 RAP for use provided the Contractor submits a letter of certification to the Engineer stating the RAP
is from a specific pavement, including the road and location. Do not add material from other sources during stockpiling and
provide certification of this from the producer on a stockpile by stockpile basis.
Category 1 RAP may consist of asphalt material removed from Interstates, United States Highways, Primary routes,
Secondary routes, and ACHD roads.
Category 2: Material not being from or traceable to an ACHD or Idaho Transportation Department project. Produce
uniform RAP stockpiles when Category 2 material originates from different sources. The Engineer will accept Category 2
RAP for use as Category 1 RAP if the Contractor performs all tests as described in “Section 810.3 RAP Testing and Test
Frequency, Category 2”, and submits test results and materials to the Engineer that show the RAP meets the specifications
and is verifiable by the District. Submit test results no less than 10 calendar days before mix design submittal.
Do not use Category 2 RAP that does not meet these requirements as Category 1 RAP.
Category 2 RAP may consist of asphalt material generated from plant waste, i.e., start‐up/shut down material; and Random
RAP – crushed and screened asphalt material removed from private paving projects, plant overruns, rejected loads, or any
combination. Category 2 RAP shall come from asphalt pavement sources only, and is not allowed from other sources, such
as asphalt roofing shingles.
C. RAP Processing
The Contractor may use processed or unprocessed RAP as follows:
Processed RAP: RAP that is at least processed by crushing and screening to produce a uniform gradation from coarse to
fine and a uniform binder content in the RAP before use in a recycled mix. The Engineer will accept millings as processed
provided they have a reasonably uniform gradation, from coarse to fine, a reasonably uniform binder content, and do not
contain oversize material as Engineer determined. Provide processed RAP that has 100 percent passing the ⅝ inch sieve
upon entry into the mixing plant. The Contractor may recycle processed RAP in Superpave HMA at the percentages shown
below:
• Category 1 RAP is limited to 30 percent in any lift.
• Category 2 RAP is allowed up to 10 percent when used in the top lift and is limited to 30 percent
maximum when used in a lower lift.
Processed RAP stockpiles may contain RAP from sources as indicated by the category and may be replenished with RAP
from sources of that same category.
The Contractor may recycle unprocessed RAP into any Superpave HMA at the percentages shown here:
• Category 1 RAP is limited to 17 percent maximum in the top lift and to 30 percent maximum in a lower
lift.
• Category 2 RAP is not allowed in the top lift and is limited to 17 percent maximum when used in a lower
lift.
Unprocessed RAP stockpiles may contain RAP from sources as indicated by the category and cannot be replenished once
approved by the Engineer.
The Contractor may re‐crush RAP particles retained on the ⅝ inch screen provided the re‐crushing does not result in further
degradation of the aggregates.
Fractionation of RAP stockpiles may be necessary to meet specifications when high RAP percentages are used.
Because stiff, old asphalt doesn’t mix well with the virgin binder, the mixing process shall require more effort and diligent
attention when preparing and using RAP.
D. RAP Testing and Test Frequency
Perform the following tests at the specified testing frequencies for each Category:
Category 1: Establish an extraction correlation. Determine the asphalt binder content and aggregate gradation in
accordance with the FOP for AASHTO T 308 and AASHTO T 30 at the minimum frequency of one test per 500 ton for the
first 2,000 ton and one test per 1,000 ton thereafter. Then perform a minimum of six tests for stockpiles less than 4,000
ton.
Perform chemical binder extractions in accordance with AASHTO T 164 or AASHTO T 319 to reclaim the binder from the RAP
when the RAP asphalt binder contribution to the mixture exceeds 30 percent of the total asphalt binder. Determine the PG
binder grading of the reclaimed binder in accordance with Section 805, at the frequency of one test per 5000 ton with at
least one test per stockpile.
Category 2: Asphalt binder content, aggregate gradation testing and binder grade testing requirements are the same
as Category 1. In addition, test the aggregate recovered from the RAP by the extraction process AASHTO T 308 or AASHTO T
164 or AASHTO T 319 to determine the aggregate quality. Test RAP aggregate quality as follows:
AASHTO T 96 and Idaho IT‐15 tested on extracted aggregate as specified at a frequency of one test per stockpile.
AASHTO T 335, AASHTO T 304, and ASTM D4791 at the minimum frequency of one test per 500 ton for the first 2,000 ton
and one test per 1,000 ton thereafter. Perform at least six tests for stockpiles less than 4,000 ton.
Meet the applicable aggregate quality requirements as outlined in 810.2.5.F, for the combination of virgin and RAP
aggregate.
Use the RAP as Category 2 RAP, Unprocessed, if it was not tested.
Asphalt Binder/Aggregate Correlation Factor: Perform at least six AASHTO T 164 or AASHTO T 319 chemical extraction
tests and AASHTO T 30 gradation tests and six AASHTO T 308 burn tests and AASHTO T 30 gradation tests to establish a
correlation factor for asphalt binder and aggregate gradation.
2017 ACHD Supplement to the 2017 ISPWC
Page 15
Prepare six identical pairs of samples and test one sample of each pair by AASHTO T 164 or AASHTO T 319 and test the
other sample by AASHTO T 308. The standard deviation of the correlation test results must be less than 0.07. If the standard
deviation for the correlation test results exceeds 0.07, the
Engineer will require additional AASHTO T 164 or AASHTO T 319 and AASHTO T 308 testing until the standard deviation for
the correlation testing falls below 0.07.
For testing after stockpiling, submit a plan to sample and test the RAP pile, either insitu or by re‐stockpiling, to the Engineer
for approval. Meet the minimum frequency required and detail the procedure used to obtain representative samples
throughout the stockpile for testing.
E. RAP Stockpiles and Record Keeping
Place RAP stockpiles on a base with adequate drainage, and construct in layers to minimize RAP segregation and ensure a
workable face. Construct separate stockpiles for each source of RAP based on the category of RAP, the quality of aggregate,
type and quantity of asphalt binder, and size of processed material. Positively identify RAP stockpiles on a map of the
stockpile areas and place signs in or near each stockpile. Maintain a record system at the plant site for RAP stockpiles that
includes at a minimum, the following:
1. Stockpile identification and a sketch of stockpile areas at the plant site.
2. RAP category (project, state route, plant waste, rejected loads)
3 Origin or dates milled and approximate number of tons in the stockpile.
4. Chemical extraction and AASHTO T 308 burn test results.
Make the RAP stockpile records available to the Engineer at the plant site. The Engineer will reject, by visual inspection,
stockpiles that are not kept clean and free of foreign materials. The Engineer will reject RAP containing contaminants, such
as earth, brick, sand, concrete, pavement fabric, joint sealants, etc. The Contractor may reprocess the rejected RAP
stockpile to meet requirements or remove the stockpile from use in Department projects.
F. Aggregate for Superpave HMA Pavement
Provide aggregate for mixes, in a minimum of two separate stockpiles. Use aggregate consisting of crushed stone or
crushed gravel. Combine with other required aggregate fractions and fillers, in proper proportion so the resulting mixture
meets the gradation required for the specific class under contract.
Screen the aggregate used for Superpave HMA so that not more than 10 percent of the naturally occurring minus ½ in
material remains in the material used to produce the stockpile(s). Crush the plus ½ inch material thus produced to produce
the required gradation.
Size, grade, and combine the fractions for the mixture in proportions so the resulting blend conforms to the grading
requirements as defined in the Table 810.4.
Use aggregate that meets the requirements of Table 810.3. 468

Compute the lower quality index (QL).
Where LSL = Lower specification limit.
S = Standard deviation
Determine PU (percent within the upper specification limit, which corresponds to a given QU)
from Table7. If a USL is not specified, PU will be 100.
Determine PL (percent within lower specification limit, which corresponds to a given QL) from
Table 7. If a LSL is not specified or the specification is zero (0), PL will be 100.
Determine the Quality Level(QL) (the total percent within the specification limits).
Quality Level(QL) = (PU + PL) – 100
For air voids, each lot will be assigned a pay factor using the following equation:

C. Calculation of Incentive/Disincentive Payment for SP‐2 mixes
1. Pay factors for test strips, leveling courses, approaches and miscellaneous paving not
placed with mainline paving shall be 1.00. The Maximum Pay Factor will be 1.05. If
any individual Composite Pay Factor Value falls below 0.85 the maximum Pay Factor
Value, the lowest CPF Value. Material with a Pay Factor less than 0.75 shall be
rejected and removed at no cost to the District.
2. A Composite Pay Factor for Plant Mix Aggregate (CPF(PMA)) will be computed as:
a. (PFAV) (0.3) = CPF(PMA)
b. PFAV = Weighted average based on quantity of material in each lot.
3. A Composite Pay Factor for Asphalt Binder Content (CPF(ABC)) will be computed as:
a. (PFAV) (0.3) = CPF(ABC)
b. PFAV = Weighted average based on quantity of material in each lot.
4. A Composite Pay Factor for Density (CPF(Dens.)) will be computed as follows:
a. (PFAV) (0.4) = CPF(Dens.)
b. PFAV = Weighted average based on quantity of material in each lot.
5. Calculation of Incentive/Disincentive Payment. The incentive/disincentive payment
for all Superpave plant mix pavement accepted by the Owner, excluding plant mix
pavement for approaches and miscellaneous paving not placed with mainline paving,
will be computed using the formula:
a. B = (A) ((CPF(PMA) + CPF(ABC) + CPF(Dens.)) ‐1) (Q)
b. B = Total Incentive/disincentive payment for all Plant Mix Pavement
accepted
c. A = Unit Bid Price
d. Q = Total Quantity of Plant Mix Pavement accepted
D. Calculation of Incentive/Disincentive Payment for SP‐3 and SP‐5 mixes
1. Pay factors for leveling courses, approaches and miscellaneous paving not placed
with mainline paving shall be 1.00. The Maximum Pay Factor will be 1.05. If any
individual Composite Pay Factor Value falls below 0.85 the maximum Pay Factor
Value, the lowest CPF Value. Material with a Pay Factor less than 0.75 shall be
rejected and removed at no cost to the District.
2. A Composite Pay Factor for Air Void (CPF(AIR VOID)) will be computed as:
a. (PFAV) (0.3) = CPF(AIR VOID)
b. PFAV = Weighted average based on quantity of material in each lot.
5.1 Table 7 quantifies the significant difference for differing quality assurance measures.
A. For Superpave Plant Mix dispute density testing, cores obtained from the same location as
the nuclear or non‐nuclear gauge test shall be used.

5.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. Quality Assurance/verification of the Contractors testing will be performed by the County.
Quality Assurance test results will not be substituted for acceptance results.
B. Quality Assurance results will be used to evaluate the Contractor's Quality
Control/acceptance test results. The data will be evaluated on a cumulative basis and not
on a lot by lot basis as follows:
1) If the evaluation indicates the test results are consistent (t‐test passes), then the
Engineer will combine the Contractor's tests into lots for Quality Analysis. The lots
will be used by the Engineer to represent the material produced in Quality Analysis.
PART 6 HOT MIX DEPTH
6.1 Depth will be based on the average from the cores obtained for the density gauge
correlations, as outlined in the Minimum Testing Frequency Table for QC/QA.
A. For newly constructed roadways, roadways that have had the existing plant mix
milled the full width, existing plant mix has been removed, or one or more leveling
courses are required. If more than one lift of plant mix is placed, the depth will be
based on the both lifts combined. The following table 8 shall apply.
Table 8
Actual Pavement Depth Vs. Planned Payment Adjustment
No Payment for overage, and remedy action required if
Over .55” under .55”
.45” to.55” 65% Deduct
.35” to.45” 45% Deduct
.25” to .35” 25% Deduct
.00” to .25” 0% Deduct
B. Example: 3” of hot plant mix is required per plan. Cores averaged 3.6”. 700 tons of
plant mix was placed. Bid per ton was $60.
Deduct: 3.00” to 3.25” = Zero
3.25” to 3.35” = 700ton x (1‐(3.25/3.35)) x $60 x .25% = $313.43 deduct
3.35” to 3.45” = 700ton x (1‐(3.35/3.45)) x $60 x .45% = $547.83 deduct
3.45” to 3.55” = 700ton x (1‐(3.45/3.55)) x $60 x .65% = $769.01 deduct
3.55” to 3.60” = 700ton x (1‐(3.55/3.60)) x $60 x 1.0 % = $588.33 deduct
Total Deduct = $313.43 + $547.83 + $769.01 + $588.33 = $2,218.60 deduct
Section 2040 – Fencing, Part 3 – Workmanship, Section 3.2 Construction Requirements, Paragraph I,
Page 5, shall be modified to read as follows.
I. Horizontal and inclined braces are to be 4 x 4 inches No. 2 Common Douglas Fir or Larch.
Posts must be notched to receive the braces, and the ends of the brace anchored with a 3/8
x 4‐inch steel dowel. Notches on the posts and the ends of the braces are to be given a coat
of pentachlorophenol solution before assembly. Brace wires are to consist of two loops of 9
gauge wire placed as shown on the Contract Documents and twisted to form a taut cable.
Lightly notch the posts to position the wire, and drive three staples at each notch to secure
the wire.
D. The following 2017 ACHD Standard Drawing Revision shall be added to Division 2000 of the
ISPWC:
