Section 1 Sample Types and Frequencies
6-101 General
Sampling and testing materials and products must be in accordance with contract
specifications Sampling and testing are of equal importance for assuring materials
and products meet acceptance specifications
Caltrans representatives must be familiar with materials handling and processing
methods to assure representative samples are obtained Caltrans representatives
should be sufficiently knowledgeable about test methods to ensure compatibility
between sample and test procedure
Samples for acceptance must be taken in accordance with California Test 125,
"Methods of Test for Sampling Highway Materials and Products Used in the Roadway
Pavement Structure Sections," or sampling requirements in specifications For
California Tests, Caltrans representatives must be qualified testers in accordance with
the Independent Assurance Manual
It is the resident engineer's responsibility to assure the safety of the Caltrans
representative In accordance with Matenal Plant Quality Program or California Test
109, "Method for Testing of Material Production Plants," the district weights and
measures coordinator inspects material plants for safety in areas that the Caltrans
representative will enter
In certain situations, to assure the Caltrans representative's safety, the contractor will
take acceptance samples for Caltrans The Caltrans representative must witness the
contractor taking acceptance samples The Caltrans representative must determine
when the sample is taken and observe that the sample is taken in accordance with
California Test 125, or sampling requirements in specifications The Caltrans
representative must take possession of the sample from the contractor and transport it
to a Caltrans office or the testing laboratory The Caltrans representative must properly
fill out form TL-0101 "Sample Identification Card "
The resident engineer is responsible for the chain of custody for material acceptance
samples Material acceptance samples and dispute resolution samples must be in
Caltrans' possession from the sampling point Adequate sample storage facilities must
be arranged for at construction field offices or other Caltrans facilities The chain of
custody for material samples is an important part of the Caltrans quality assurance
program

6-102 Types of Sampling and Testing
The following are the types of sampling and testing used by Caltrans
6-102A Preliminary Samples and Tests
Preliminary samples and tests are made before award of a contract Construction
personnel rarely perform preliminary sampling and testing The district materials
engineer is responsible for preliminary sampling and testing Such tests are used for
design purposes, and to provide data for the materials information package for
prospective bidders
6-102B Initial Samples and Tests
Initial samples and tests are performed on materials proposed for use in the project
These initial tests determine whether proposed materials sources, local materials, or
products meet the specifications
Construction personnel may sample potential sources For soils and aggregate tests,
send samples to the district materials laboratory Caltrans laboratories performing
acceptance testing must be qualified under the AASHTO re source and IAP Caltrans'
field laboratories meet the re source requirements when Caltrans' district or regional
materials laboratory meets the requirement
Sampling and testing potential local materials is not mandatory unless specified
Charge the contractor for the cost of sampling and testing potential local materials
sources in accordance with Section 6, "Control of Materials," of the Standard
Specifications
The normal time required for testing initial source samples of potential local materials
sources is shown in Table 6-1 1

6-102B (1) Unprocessed Soils and Aggregates
The discussion on unprocessed soils and aggregates is primarily applicable to
preliminary and initial sampling, although the same precautions apply when sampling
for specification compliance
6-102B (1a) Stone from Ledges and Quarries
Inspect the ledge or quarry face to determine any variations in strata, or in portions of
the ledge Observe and record differences in color and structure Obtain separate
samples of unweathered stone from all strata that appear to vary in color and
structure
6-102B (1 b) Material Sites of Sand, Gravel, or Soil
Select samples representing the different materials available in the deposit If the
deposit is worked as an open face or pit, take the samples by channeling the face so
that they will represent material that visual inspection indicates may be used It is
necessary, especially in small deposits, to excavate test holes some distance in back
of, and parallel to, the face to determine the extent of the supply The number and
depth of these test holes depend on the quantity of material to be used from the
deposit Obtain samples from open test pits by channeling a face of the test pit in the
same manner as sampling a face of a materials site Do not include material in the
sample that will be stripped from the pit as overburden Obtain separate samples from
the face of the bank and from the test holes If visual inspection indicates that there is
considerable variation in the material, obtain separate samples at different depths
Use test holes to sample deposits that have no open faces When sampling material
sites, select depth and spacing of test holes considering the probable method of
operating the pit In general, dozers will combine the material laterally A shovel will
remove the material vertically Test results in a "spotty" pit may be misleading to the
extent that operations may be too expensive to make the required grading
If possible, use a dozer or shovel to open up the pit before sampling rather than
depending on test holes
6-102B (2) Processed Aggregates
Sample processed aggregates from locations such as stockpiles, transportation units,
conveyors, or windrows in accordance with California Test 125, "Methods of Test for
Sampling Highway Materials and Products Used in the Roadway Pavement Structure

6-102C Acceptance Samples and Tests
Acceptance tests are generally performed on materials that will be incorporated into
the work Some acceptance tests are performed on materials already incorporated into
the work Acceptance sampling and testing should begin as soon as the material is
delivered or in place
Sample materials at the locations specified in the Standard Specifications, the special
provisions, or as required by California Test 125 If the sampling location is not
specified, sample at the location indicated in the materials acceptance sampling and
testing requirements tables in Section 6-107, "Materials Acceptance Sampling and
Testing" of this manual Regardless of location, sample randomly and within the
frequency specified to obtain representative samples of the material used in the work
On Form TL-0101, "Sample Identification Card," use the "Priority" designation for the
first few acceptance samples of each construction material Use "Priority" for
verification tests for acceptance Use the "Priority" designation for all samples if the
material being supplied is of questionable quality or if the construction means and
methods or source of materials changes For "Priority" tests, indicate if there is a
preference for telephoned, faxed, or emailed test results on Form TL-0101, "Sample
Identification Card," along with the telephone number of the person who is to receive
them
For "Priority" and "Normal" processing times for acceptance tests of materials, refer to
Table 6-1 2, "Time Required for Materials Acceptance Tests," of this manual
The minimum time required for acceptance tests of products is shown in Table 6-1 2,
of this manual
Make sure acceptance samples are shipped or transported to testing laboratories
within the following timeframes
1 Within 1 business day from sampling for projects within 50 miles of the testing
laboratory
2 Within 2 business days from sampling for projects more than 50 miles from the
testing laboratory
The above timeframes are not applicable if specific sampling or test method
requirements preclude doing so, for example, curing of specimens before transport
Assure that proper chain of custody is maintained throughout the process, including
delivery to and receipt from commercial shipping services
Use Form CEM-3701, "Test Result Summary," to summarize acceptance test
frequency and test results on each material Use this form to record sampling and
testing related dates and monitor timeliness of acceptance testing Compare
timeliness of material testing turnaround against Table 6-1 2, and verify that corrective
actions are taken and documented if repeated deficiencies are detected
Notify contractor of all acceptance test results within 2 business days of receipt from
laboratory Advise the contractor that all test results are available for their inspection,
and provide copies of these test results upon their request Maintain copies of the test
results within the project files for ready accessibility

6-102D Dispute Resolution Samples
Code of Federal Regulations, Title 23, Section 637 207 (23 CFR 637 207), "Quality
Assurance Program," paragraph (a)(1)(i11), states, "If the results from the quality control
sampling and testing are used in the acceptance program, the STD (state
transportation department) shall establish a dispute resolution system The dispute
resolution system shall address the resolution of discrepancies occurring between the
verification sampling and testing and the quality control sampling and testing " When
specified, the engineer must split acceptance test samples and store the split samples
in case of a disputed test result Caltrans requires split samples to be stored in a
facility under state control in case they are needed for dispute resolution
6-102E Investigation Samples and Tests
Specific materials or quality problems such as pavement failures, difficulty in achieving
percent of maximum theoretical density, or inconsistent test results may require
special samples and tests When materials problems are encountered, contact the
district materials engineer The district materials engineer may request help from
METS and the Division of Construction METS will request all acceptance test results
and contractor quality control test results along with material-specific additional
samples and tests in order to conduct a forensic investigation
6-102F Research Samples and Tests
Pilot projects usually have special requirements for sampling and testing of materials
Projects developed around research needs usually require larger samples and more
frequent testing than what is required by Caltrans' acceptance testing minimum
California Department of Transportation Construction Manual December 2020
Sample Types and Frequencies Page 6-1 9
Attachment A-1
frequencies The unit that requested the research project will provide oversight for all
of the special sampling and testing requirements
6-103 Field Sampled Material Identification for Testing
Samples must be properly identified so the testing laboratory can function efficiently
and report results to the project in a timely manner In addition, accuracy in identifying
where the material was placed in the project can be very useful if the material must be
rejected by the engineer and then removed by the contractor
For requesting faster processing of samples, use the "priority" designation as
discussed in Section 6-102C, "Acceptance Samples and Tests," of this manual
For field material samples, except for concrete cylinder compressive strength, use
Form TL-0101, "Sample Identification Card " For concrete cylinder compressive
strength, use Form TL-0502, "Field Sample of Portland Cement Concrete Sample
Card "
In general, prepare Form TL-0101 as follows
• Fill in every blank space with complete information, including the quantity and lot of
material sampled
• The "Location of Source" must clearly indicate the place (that is, behind paver,
stockpile, cold feed belt) where the sample was taken
• Indicate "Normal" for laboratory processing of sample or "Priority" if test result is
needed quickly
• If the sample was taken at the request of the contractor from local deposits as a
potential source in accordance with Section 6-1 03, "Local Materials," of the
Standard Specifications, note this under "Remarks " Request that the district
materials laboratory provides the cost of testing so that Caltrans can be reimbursed
by the contractor
• To protect the sample identification card against moisture or stains, place it in a
plastic bag or shipping label protector and tape it to the sample container
• Distribute copies as shown on the form on the same day the sample is shipped
• Prepare Form TL-0101 in accordance with the following details based on the type
of material
o Aggregate sources must be in compliance with or not subject to the State
Mining and Reclamation Act (SMARA) Verify that sources of aggregates are
indicated and include the SMARA listing number For additional information,
refer to Section 7-103H (2), "Surface Mining and Reclamation Act," of this
manual
o For hot mix asphalt (HMA) sample be sure to
1 Identify the HMA plant producing the material
2 Identify the job mix formula (JMF) producer identification number
3 Include the type of mix and aggregate grading specified
4 Under"Remarks," include the grade and source of the asphalt binder
California Department of Transportation Construction Manual December 2020
Page 6-1 10 Sample Types and Frequencies
Attachment A-1
5 Under "Remarks," include the percentage of asphalt binder designated in
the JMF
o For asphalt binder sample be sure to
1 Identify the HMA plant using the material
2 Identify the source of asphalt binder
A list of approved asphalt suppliers is available at
https//mets dot ca qov/aml/AsphaltBindersList php
For nonapproved suppliers identify the refinery and shipment number for each
truckload
o For tack coat or asphalt emulsion samples be sure to
1 Identify the source of the asphalt binder or asphaltic emulsion
2 Under "Remarks" include the dilution rate (50/50 or 60/40) for asphaltic
emulsions or enter "Not Diluted "
o If the specification has requirements based on the use of the material, include
the intended use under"Remarks " This is especially important for electrical
conductors, as the applicable specifications depend on where and how the
conductor is used
• Prepare Form TL-0502, "Field Sample of Portland Cement Concrete Sample Card,"
for each pair of cylinders shipped in the same carton as follows
o Fill in every blank space with complete information
o Indicate sources of aggregates and include the SMARA listing number
Aggregate sources must be in compliance with or not subject to SMARA For
additional information, refer to Section 7-103H (2), "Surface Mining and
Reclamation Act," of this manual Indicate in the space for water the total weight
of water used per cubic yard of cementitious material in the mix based on actual
weight (not design weight)
o Under "Remarks," indicate the specified concrete strength
o Under "Remarks," indicate if the unit weight of the hardened concrete cylinders
is required The testing laboratory will not furnish unit weight data unless it is
specifically requested
o To protect the sample card against moisture or stains, place it in a plastic bag
or shipping label protector, and tape it to the sample container
o Distribute copies as shown on the form on the same day the sample is shipped
A uniform system for marking cylinders is used This system consists of the contract
number and the sample number The sample number consists of a series of digits
separated by dashes (-) to indicate method of storage for curing, age at which
cylinders are to be tested, the cylinder number of the pair, or group of five, that is to be
tested, and project coding Use a flow pen to mark the cylinders
Following are examples of the cylinder marking system

• The second two digits indicate that the cylinder is to be tested at 28 days
• The 1/5 set indicates that it is the No 1 cylinder of 5 cylinders The No 2 cylinder
would be marked 2/5, and so on, for the remaining cylinders of the group
• The last four spaces are reserved for any project coding consisting of numbers,
letters, or a combination
Note if only one sample card was made for two cylinders, the third symbol on the card
would be 1,2/5

• The 2/2 set indicates that it is the No 2 cylinder of a group of 2 cylinders
• The last four spaces are reserved for any project coding consisting of numbers,
letters or a combination
Note if one sample card is made for the two cylinders, the third symbol on the card
would be 1,2/2
6-104 Shipping of Field Samples
Based on turnaround time needed to receive a test result, ship samples from the job
site to the laboratory using the most economical mode of transportation available
consistent with the time element involved Do not accumulate samples at the project
site to save transportation costs
Concrete cylinders are shipped to the laboratory in accordance with California Test
540, "Method of Test for Making, Handling, and Storing Concrete Compressive Test
Specimens in the Field " Cylinders are shipped without removing the mold and are
packed in cardboard containers available at the district warehouse Each carton holds
two cylinders
If the district laboratory is equipped to test concrete cylinders, they should be shipped
there Otherwise cylinders may be delivered either to the Southern Regional Lab at

Sacramento, CA 95819, whichever is more convenient Ship concrete cylinders within
the time limits specified in California Test 540 or the test result cannot be used as an
acceptance test
Shipping costs to district materials laboratories, the Southern Regional Lab, or METS,
are to be prepaid
6-105 Acceptance Records
Keep records of all samples and tests in the project files as permanent job records
Monitor acceptance testing frequency, results, and timelines by using Form CEM-
3701, "Test Result Summary " Corrective action or retesting of failing tests must be
noted in the "Remarks" column of the form
Documentation of the reason materials represented by failing tests were incorporated
into the project must be included in the project files For more information on
procedures to follow in the case of failing tests, refer to Section 3-6, "Control of
Materials," of this manual
It is not necessary to secure separate samples for each project when two or more
projects receive materials from the same source File a copy of the test report with
each project
6-106 Project Materials Certification
When construction work on the project is complete, prepare Form CEM-6302, "Final
Materials Certification " Use the form to certify that, other than for the exceptions listed
on the form, the results of tests performed on acceptance samples show that the
materials used in the work controlled by sampling and testing conform to the approved
plans and specifications
If exceptions exist, check the exceptions box and note all nonconforming materials on
the form The following are examples of nonconforming materials that must be noted
as exceptions
• Materials accepted by applying a specified pay factor or deficiency adjustment,
such as for hot mix asphalt, concrete pavement, or rapid-strength concrete
• Materials out of"operating range" but within "contract compliance" for which a
specified payment deduction was made
• Materials not in compliance with the as-bid contract plans or specifications for
which a change order was approved to accept the material
• Materials that require certificates of compliance but one or more have not been
submitted
Sign the form and put the original in the project files Send a copy to district
construction and, if the project is subject to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
construction oversight activities, send another copy to the FHWA California division
administrator The name and address of the FHWA California division administrator is
available at

6-107 Materials Acceptance Sampling and Testing
Sampling and testing materials and products must be in accordance with contract
specifications Sampling and testing are of equal importance for assuring materials
and products meet acceptance specifications
The tables that make up Table 6-1 4 contain Caltrans' minimum sampling and testing
requirements for materials acceptance The frequency of sampling and testing
indicated in the tables is to be used under normal conditions Materials that are
marginal in meeting the specifications should be sampled and tested on a more
frequent basis Request "Priority" testing for samples taken on potentially marginal
materials
When shown in the tables that testing frequencies may be adjusted, document any
adjustment through a "Memo to File " Place the "Memo to File" in the appropriate part
of Category 37, "Initial Tests and Acceptance Tests," of the project files
Adherence to the sample size requirements shown in the tables will prevent
unnecessary delays and expense of obtaining supplementary samples to complete
tests
Refer to Section 6-105 "Acceptance Records," of this manual for documenting
acceptance tests results For more information on procedures to follow in the case of
failing tests, refer to Section 3-6, "Control of Materials," of this manual

7 For bonded wearing course using RHMA-G, RHMA-O, or HMA-O, sampling and testing
must comply with requirements for RHMA-G, RHMA-O, or HMA-O
8 Determine percent of maximum theoretical density under California Test 375, except use
AASHTO T 275 to determine in-place density of each core and AASHTO T 209, Method A
to determine maximum theoretical density instead of calculating maximum density
9 May use Inertial Profiler data and ProVAL Rolling Straightedge module to assist in
determining where to check with 12-foot straightedge
10 For the statistical pay factor process, and for each lot, prepare a stratified random
sampling plan for the following pay factor quality characteristic, aggregate gradations,
binder content, air voids, and percent of maximum theoretical density Sample at
milestones identified in the stratified random sampling plan Do not share the verification
sampling time or location with the contractor until immediately before sampling Do not
share the share the stratified random sampling plan with the contractor until completion of
the lot For guidance on developing the engineer's stratified random sampling plans, refer
to section 4-3902K, "Stratified Random Sampling Plan" of this manual
11 Obtain enough material to split each sample into four parts Perform verification testing on
one part, provide one part to the contractor, hold one part for dispute resolution testing,
and reserve the fourth part for additional verification testing in the event the lot runs short
and you not have at least the 3 tests needed for verification
12 To determine in-place density, obtain verification density cores from the contractor's sublot
identified in the engineer's stratified random sampling plan Break the identified sublot into
three equal parts, and randomly determine the coring location of each part At each
location, core three samples aligned longitudinally within one to two feet of the center core
Retain the center core for verification testing, and randomly determine which of the two
remaining cores will be provided to the contractor and which will be retained by the
engineer
13 To determine the paving shift's maximum theoretical density value used for verification of
percent in-place density, obtain two samples of HMA from each paving shift the verification
density cores are obtained from Determine the shift's maximum theoretical density value
used for the verification by averaging the test results of the two samples The two samples
must be obtained randomly from the first and last half of the paving shift, or from a split of a
single sample pulled within the sublot the density cores are obtained from
14 Do not share the test results of pay factor quality characteristics with the contractor until
completion of the lot
15 For HMA placed using statistical pay factors, during production, sample non-pay factor
items at the frequency determined by the engineer Notify the contractor of your intent to
sample, and obtain enough material to split into four parts Test one part, provide one part
to the contractor, and retain one part for independent third party testing When sampling for
non pay factors, except sand equivalent testing, pull two samples from two consecutive
sublots If the first sample fails, immediately test the second sample Refer to Section 4-
3904A(5), "Monitoring Non-Pay Factor Quality Characteristics using Statistical Pay Factor
Specifications" of this manual for guidance related to non pay factor testing
16 For HMA placed using statistical pay factors, when sampling for Hamburg Wheel Track,
pull one additional sample for testing from the contractor's next sublot Test this second
sample if the first sample fails
