1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this directive is to establish
a procedure for payment of asphaltic concrete based on a teleprinter ticket.
2. SCOPE. This directive contains all details
necessary for the implementation of these procedures and emergency measures in
case of breakdown.
3. PROCEDURE. The teleprinter ticket will be used for
documentation of measurement. The teleprinter ticket
is to be stamped on the back with the rubber stamp (sample format is enclosed)
, which provides spaces for the required plant and roadway information. Each asphaltic concrete plant is to be provided with a
rubber stamp and each district has been provided with two extra stamps. These were forwarded to the
District Laboratory Engineers for distribution.
Each of the
teleprinter tickets stamped with the rubber stamp is to be
numbered consecutively for each item on each project in the upper right
hand corner next to the date.
As stipulated in
the Department’s Asphalt Plant Ticket Writer's Handbook, it will be the
responsibility of the Department’s noncertified plant inspector to stamp the
teleprinter ticket, fill in the required information, sign it, and forward it
to the Department’s Roadway Inspector, so that the pertinent field information
can be added. The Roadway Inspector will also be
required to sign the form.
Under no
circumstances shall a Plant Inspector sign a blank teleprinter ticket. The practice of signing any type of haul ticket ahead of
time or of failing to properly perform the duties
delineated in the Asphalt Plant Ticket Writer's Handbook can result in
disciplinary action.
When requested
by the contractor, the Department’s Asphalt Plant Inspector will stamp and sign
two (2) copies of the teleprinter ticket and forward both copies to the
Department’s Roadway Inspector. The Roadway Inspector
will then complete and sign both copies of the teleprinter ticket, maintaining
one copy for Department records and providing the second copy to the contractor
for his records.
In the event of
teleprinter malfunction, a form containing the pertinent information will be
filled out and signed by the Plant and Roadway Inspectors. A
copy of this form, Stock No. 03-40-3076 (Rev. 6/75) , is also attached. It is to be especially noted, that this form is to be used
only in the case of teleprinter malfunction. When
using this form, the numbering of each item for each project in the upper right
hand corner will be continued in the same sequence as
the teleprinter tickets.
When Form 03-40-3076 is being used in lieu of the teleprinter
tickets,and duplicate tickets were being printed, Form
03-40-3076 shall also be completed and signed in duplicate.
When Material Report Form 03-42-0653 (Rev. 6/76) is prepared for
each estimate period, only the ticket numbers will be recorded in lieu of the
book number. (See attached example of Form
03-42-0653.)
4. OTHER
ISSUANCES AFFECTED. EDSM 111.2.3.3 dated
5. EFFECTIVE DATE. This directive will be effective immediately
upon receipt.
NOTE:
Copy of the Asphalt Plant Ticket Writer's Handbook is
