I recommend modifying the first sentence in EPG 106.4.2.6 to allow for the Contractor/Supplier to calibrate the equipment.  


Current wording:
:"106.4.2.6 Bituminous distributors. The calibration of all distributors will be approved by the engineer prior to use."
"106.4.2.6 Bituminous distributors. The calibration of all distributors will be performed by district Construction and Materials personnel."  


Proposed wording:
The distributor needs to be calibrated but not necessarily by us.  As with the plants, the contractor should have the calibration performed and have it available for our inspection.
"106.4.2.6 Bituminous distributors. The calibration of all distributors will be approved by the engineer prior to use."


 
[[USER:smithk|Keith L. Smith:]] Thanks for bringing this up.  After obtaining confirmation from CM, the guidance was updated to allow the contractor/supplier to calibrate equipment.

Dennis and I were thinking the same thing.  That is that the distributor needs to be calibrated but not necessarily by us.  As with the plants, the contractor should have the calibration performed and have it available for our inspection.

Subject: Distributor Calibration Question
 
I thought we had direction awhile ago not to perform distributor calibrations anymore?
I received a request for the old forms we used when we were calibrating them, and followed up with checking the EPG and Spec book.

I recommend modifying the first sentence in EPG 106.4.2.6 to allow for the Contractor/Supplier to calibrate the equipment.

"106.4.2.6 Bituminous distributors. The calibration of all distributors will be approved by the engineer prior to use."

The distributor needs to be calibrated but not necessarily by us. As with the plants, the contractor should have the calibration performed and have it available for our inspection.

Keith L. Smith: Thanks for bringing this up. After obtaining confirmation from CM, the guidance was updated to allow the contractor/supplier to calibrate equipment.
