It may be necessary for the District to advise the contractor to make changes in the proposed mixture in order to comply with Department policies. A QC plan in accordance with 1001 General Requirements for Material covering each aggregate fraction should be on file in the District Office or received with the JMF. The target gradations shown on the QC plan and JMF must match. When the District is satisfied that the proposed mixture is acceptable, a copy of the JMF and the contractor's letter shall be submitted to the Materials Field Office, accompanied by a letter of transmittal with comments, any corrections made and recommendations. The transmittal letter shall contain the following information:
- Project information – Job Number, Route, County, Contract Number.
