property, whether or not such personal property becomes a part of the realty by virtue of

03.8(7) (HMA Tolerances and Adjustments). If the request is approved, all of the material
produced up to the time of the change will be evaluated on the basis of tests on samples
taken from that material and a new lot will begin.
For proposal quantities less then 2500 tons sampling and testing for evaluation shall be
performed as described in 5-04.3(7)A3 (Field Verification Testing Process). The
verification sample referenced in item ’b’ of Section 5-04.3(7)A3 (Field Verification
Testing Process) may be used as an acceptance sample, additional testing will be at the
discretion of the Engineer. When using a previously verified mix design, testing for
volumetric properties may be waived at the engineer’s discretion. At least one acceptance
sample is required when using this method of acceptance.
For proposal quantities greater than 2500 tons sampling and testing for evaluation shall be

(March 10, 2010 APWA GSP)
Delete this section and replace it with the following:
The maximum CPF of a compaction lot is 1.00
For each compaction lot of HMA when the CPF is less than 1.00, a Nonconforming
Compaction Factor (NCCF) will be determined. THE NCCF equals the algebraic difference
of CPF minus 1.00 multiplied by 40 percent. The Compaction Price Adjustment will be
calculated as the product of the NCCF, the quantity of HMA in the lot in tons and the unit
contract price per ton of the mix.

Washington State Department of Labor and Industries
Policy Statement
(Regarding the Production of "Standard" or "Non-standard" Items)
Below is the department's (State L&I's) list of criteria to be used in determining whether a
prefabricated item is "standard" or "non-standard". For items not appearing on
WSDOT's predetermined list, these criteria shall be used by the Contractor (and the
Contractor's subcontractors, agents to subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, and
fabricators) to determine coverage under RCW 39.12. The production, in the State of
Washington, of non-standard items is covered by RCW 39.12, and the production of
standard items is not. The production of any item outside the State of Washington is not
covered by RCW 39.12.
1. Is the item fabricated for a public works project? If not, it is not subject to RCW
39.12. If it is, go to question 2.
2. Is the item fabricated on the public works jobsite? If it is, the work is covered under
RCW 39.12. If not, go to question 3.
3. Is the item fabricated in an assembly/fabrication plant set up for, and dedicated
primarily to, the public works project? If it is, the work is covered by RCW 39.12. If not,
go to question 4.
4. Does the item require any assembly, cutting, modification or other fabrication by the
supplier? If not, the work is not covered by RCW 39.12. If yes, go to question 5.
5. Is the prefabricated item intended for the public works project typically an inventory
item which could reasonably be sold on the general market? If not, the work is covered
by RCW 39.12. If yes, go to question 6.
6. Does the specific prefabricated item, generally defined as standard, have any
unusual characteristics such as shape, type of material, strength requirements, finish,
etc? If yes, the work is covered under RCW 39.12.
Any firm with questions regarding the policy, WSDOT's Predetermined List, or for
determinations of covered and non-covered workers shall be directed to State L&I at
(360) 902-5330.

Below is a list of potentially prefabricated items, originally furnished by WSDOT to
Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, that may be considered non-
standard and therefore covered by the prevailing wage law, RCW 39.12. Items marked
with an X in the "YES" column should be considered to be non-standard and therefore
covered by RCW 39.12. Items marked with an X in the "NO" column should be
considered to be standard and therefore not covered. Of course, exceptions to this
general list may occur, and in that case shall be evaluated according to the criteria
described in State and L&I's policy statement.

Prefabricated items specifically produced for public works projects that are prefabricated in a
county other than the county wherein the public works project is to be completed, the wage for
the offsite prefabrication shall be the applicable prevailing wage for the county in which the actual
prefabrication takes place.
It is the manufacturer of the prefabricated product to verify that the correct county wage rates are
applied to work they perform.
See RCW 39.12.010
(The definition of "locality" in RCW 39.12.010(2) contains the phrase "wherein the physical work is being performed." The
department interprets this phrase to mean the actual work site.
