otherwise damaged shall be rejected and promptly removed from the site of work. Prior to application, the Engineer
must approve the seed mix in the bags on site.
Layout of Seeding:
The Contractor shall be responsible for filed verifying the acreage of the area(s) to be seeded. The amount of seed
ordered shall match the area(s) to be seeded during the pending planting season. A minimum of 30 days shall be
allowed for seed acquisition, testing, and inspection.
The Contractor shall demarcate all areas to be seeded and estimate quantities of each area to determine the quantity of
seed necessary to achieve the specified seed rate per acre. The Contractor shall delineate the perimeter of the seedbed
with wooden lathe. The wooden lathe shall remain in place. The contractor shall provide a minimum of seven calendar
days notice to the Engineer to allow for review and approval of seeding layout.

seed. The label shall bear the dealer’s guarantee of mixture and year grown, purity and germination, and date of test.
Seed Bed Preparation:
All area(s) to be seeded must be properly prepared prior to planting seed. Bare earth seeding refers to sowing seed
upon soils with no existing vegetative cover. In areas with existing vegetation, the vegetation shall be eradicated as
specified or as directed by the Engineer. Seed bed preparation shall not be started until all requirements of Section 212
have been completed. The area to be seeded shall be worked to a minimum depth of 3 in. (75 mm) with a disk, tiller, box
rake, or other equipment approved by the Engineer. In areas with heavy soils, tilling or power raking will be required to
achieve the proper depth. All soil clods shall be reduced to a size not larger than ½ in. (13 mm) in the largest dimension
to create a friable, pulverized topsoil surface suitable for seeding. Dragging the soil surface with the blade of a
loader or dozer will not be an acceptable method of seed bed preparation. The prepared surface shall be relatively free
of weeds, stones, roots, sticks, debris, rills, gullies, crusting, caking, and compaction. No seed shall be sown until the
seed bed has been approved by the Engineer.
Seeding Methods:
No seed shall be sown when wind gusts exceed 25 miles per hour or when the ground is not in a proper condition for
seeding, nor shall any seed be sown until the purity test has been completed for the seeds to be used, and said tests
show that the seed meets the noxious weed seed requirements. All equipment shall be approved by the Engineer prior
to being used. Prior to starting work, seeders shall be calibrated and adjusted to sow seeds at the required seeding
rate. Equipment shall be operated in a manner to ensure complete coverage of the entire area to be seeded. The
Engineer shall be notified 48 hours prior to beginning the seeding operations so that the Engineer may determine by trial
runs that a calibration of the seeder will provide uniform distribution at the specified rate per acre.
Seeding Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6 shall be sown with a broadcast seeder or a rangeland type seed drill.
Hand broadcasting and other methods of sowing seed will be allowed in special circumstances
as approved by the Engineer. Special circumstances include but are not necessarily limited to
steep slopes (over 1:3 (V:H)), inaccessible areas, wet areas, or other unique situations where
the use of the specified equipment is not possible.

IDOT TRAINING PROGRAM GRADUATE ON-THE-JOB TRAINING SPECIAL PROVISION
Effective: August 1, 2012 Revised: February 2, 2017
In addition to the Contractor’s equal employment opportunity (EEO) affirmative action efforts undertaken as required by
this Contract, the Contractor is encouraged to participate in the incentive program described below to provide additional
on-the-job training to certified graduates of the IDOT pre-apprenticeship training program, as outlined in this Special
Provision.
IDOT funds, and various Illinois community colleges operate, pre-apprenticeship training programs throughout the State
to provide training and skill-improvement opportunities to promote the increased employment of minority groups,
disadvantaged persons and women in all aspects of the highway construction industry. The intent of this IDOT Pre-
Apprenticeship Training Program Graduate (TPG) special provision (Special Provision) is to place these certified
program graduates on the project site for this Contract in order to provide the graduates with meaningful on-the-job
training. Pursuant to this Special Provision, the Contractor must make every reasonable effort to recruit and employ
certified TPG trainees to the extent such individuals are available within a practicable distance of the project site.
Specifically, participation of the Contractor or its subcontractor in the Program entitles the participant to reimbursement
for graduates’ hourly wages at $15.00 per hour per utilized TPG trainee, subject to the terms of this Special Provision.
Reimbursement payment will be made even though the Contractor or subcontractor may also receive additional training
program funds from other non-IDOT sources for other non-TPG trainees on the Contract, provided such other source
does not specifically prohibit the Contractor or subcontractor from receiving reimbursement from another entity through
another program, such as IDOT through the TPG program. With regard to any IDOT funded construction training
program other than TPG, however, additional reimbursement for other IDOT programs will not be made beyond the
TPG Program described in this Special Provision when the TPG Program is utilized.
No payment will be made to the Contractor if the Contractor or subcontractor fails to provide the required on-site training
to TPG trainees, as solely determined by IDOT. A TPG trainee must begin training on the project as soon as the start
of work that utilizes the relevant trade skill and the TPG trainee must remain on the project site through completion of
the Contract, so long as training opportunities continue to exist in the relevant work classification. Should a TPG
trainee’s employment end in advance of the completion of the Contract, the Contractor must promptly notify the IDOT
District EEO Officer for the Contract that the TPG’s involvement in the Contract has ended. The Contractor must supply
a written report for the reason the TPG trainee involvement terminated, the hours completed by the TPG trainee on the
Contract, and the number of hours for which the incentive payment provided under this Special Provision will be,
or has been claimed for the separated TPG trainee.
Finally, the Contractor must maintain all records it creates as a result of participation in the Program on the Contract,
and furnish periodic written reports to the IDOT District EEO Officer that document its contractual performance under
and compliance with this Special Provision. Finally, through participation in the Program and reimbursement of wages,
the Contractor is not relieved of, and IDOT has not waived, the requirements of any federal or state labor or
employment law applicable to TPG workers, including compliance with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT: The unit of measurement is in hours.
BASIS OF PAYMENT: This work will be paid for at the contract unit price of $15.00 per hour for each utilized certified TPG
Program trainee (TRAINEES TRAINING PROGRAM GRADUATE). The estimated total number of hours, unit price, and
total price must be included in the schedule of prices for the Contract submitted by Contractor prior to beginning work. The
initial number of TPG trainees for which the incentive is available for this contract is __1___.
The Department has contracted with several educational institutions to provide screening, tutoring and pre-training to
individuals interested in working as a TPG trainee in various areas of common construction trade work. Only individuals
who have successfully completed a Pre-Apprenticeship
Training Program at these IDOT approved institutions are eligible to be TPG trainees. To obtain a list of institutions that
can connect the Contractor with eligible TPG trainees, the Contractor may contact: HCCTP TPG Program Coordinator,
Office of Business and Workforce Diversity (IDOT OBWD), Room 319, Illinois Department of Transportation, 2300
S. Dirksen Parkway, Springfield, Illinois 62764. Prior to commencing construction with the utilization of a TPG trainee, the
Contractor must submit documentation to the IDOT District EEO Officer for the Contract that provides the names and
62
contact information of the TPG trainee(s) to be trained in each selected work classification, proof that that the TPG
trainee(s) has successfully completed a Pre-Apprenticeship Training Program, proof that the TPG is in an Apprenticeship
Training Program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Apprenticeship Training, and the start date for
training in each of the applicable work classifications.
To receive payment, the Contractor must provide training opportunities aimed at developing a full journeyworker in the
type of trade or job classification involved. During the course of performance of the Contract, the Contractor may seek
approval from the IDOT District EEO Officer to employ additional eligible TPG trainees. In the event the Contractor
subcontracts a portion of the contracted work, it must determine how many, if any, of the TPGs will be trained by the
subcontractor. Though a subcontractor may conduct training, the Contractor retains the responsibility for meeting all
requirements imposed by this Special Provision. The Contractor must also include this Special Provision in any subcontract
where payment for contracted work performed by a TPG trainee will be passed on to a subcontractor.
Training through the Program is intended to move TPGs toward journeyman status, which is the primary objective of this
Special Provision. Accordingly, the Contractor must make every effort to enroll TPG trainees by recruitment through the
Program participant educational institutions to the extent eligible TPGs are available within a reasonable geographic area
of the project. The Contractor is responsible for demonstrating, through documentation, the recruitment efforts it has
undertaken prior to the determination by IDOT whether the Contractor is in compliance with this Special Provision, and
therefore, entitled to the Training Program Graduate reimbursement of $15.00 per hour.
Notwithstanding the on-the-job training requirement of this TPG Special Provision, some minimal off-site training is
permissible as long as the offsite training is an integral part of the work of the contract, and does not compromise or conflict
with the required on-site training that is central to the purpose of the Program. No individual may be employed as a TPG
trainee in any work classification in which he/she has previously successfully completed a training program leading to
journeyman status in any trade, or in which he/she has worked at a journeyman level or higher

LOCAL QUALITY ASSURANCE/ QUALITY MANAGEMENT QC/QA
Effective: January 1, 2022
Replace the first five paragraphs of Article 1030.06 of the Standard Specifications with the following:
“1030.06 Quality Management Program. The Quality Management Program (QMP) will be Quality Control / Quality
Assurance (QC/QA) according to the following.”
Delete Article 1030.06(d)(1) of the Standard Specifications.
Revise Article 1030.09(g)(3) of the Standard Specifications to read:
“(3) If core testing is the density verification method, the Contractor shall provide personnel and equipment to collect density
verification cores for the Engineer. Core locations will be determined by the Engineer following the document “Hot-Mix
Asphalt QC/QA Procedure for Determining Random Density Locations” at density verification intervals defined in Article
1030.09(b). After the Engineer identifies a density verification location and prior to opening to traffic, the Contractor sha ll
cut a 4 in. (100 mm) diameter core. With the approval of the Engineer, the cores may be cut at a later time.”
Revise Article 1030.09(h)(2) of the Standard Specifications to read:
“(2) After final rolling and prior to paving subsequent lifts, the Engineer will identify the random density verification test
locations. Cores or nuclear density gauge testing will be used for density verification. The method used for density
verification will be as selected below.
Density Verification Method
Cores
Nuclear Density Gauge (Correlated when
paving ≥ 3,000 tons per mixture)
Density verification test locations will be determined according to the document “Hot- Mix Asphalt QC/QA Procedure for
Determining Random Density Locations”. The density testing interval for paving wider than or equal to 3 ft (1 m) will be 0.5
miles (800
m) for lift thicknesses of 3 in. (75 mm) or less and 0.2 miles (320 m) for lift thicknesses greater than 3 in. (75 mm). The
density testing interval for paving less than 3 ft (1 m) wide will be 1 mile (1,600 m). If a day’s paving will be less than t he
prescribed density testing interval, the length of the day’s paving will be the interval for that day. The density testing interval
for mixtures used for patching will be 50 patches with a minimum of one test per mixture per project.
If core testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will witness the Contractor coring, and secure and take
possession of all density samples at the density verification locations. The Engineer will test the cores collected by the
Contractor for density according to Illinois Modified AASHTO T 166 or AASHTO T 275.
If nuclear density gauge testing is the density verification method, the Engineer will conduct nuclear density gauge tests.
The Engineer will follow the density testing procedure detailed in the document “Illinois Modified ASTM D 2950, Standard
Test Method for Density of Bituminous Concrete In-Place by Nuclear Method”.
A density verification test will be the result of a single core or the average of the nuclear density tests at one location. The
results of each density test must be within acceptable limits. The Engineer will promptly notify the Contractor of observed
deficiencies.”

Revise the seventh paragraph and all subsequent paragraphs in Section D. of the document “Hot-Mix Asphalt QC/QA
Initial Daily Plant and Random Samples” to read:
“Mixtures shall be sampled from the truck at the plant by the Contractor following the same procedure used to collect QC
mixture samples (Section A). This process will be witnessed by the Engineer who will take custody of the verification
sample. Each sample bag with a verification mixture sample will be secured by the Engineer using a locking ID tag. Sample
boxes containing the verification mixture sample will be sealed/taped by the Engineer using a security ID label.”
