A profilogram will be made for each segment of 15.24 m (50 ft) or more. The profilogram will 0 include the 4.57 m (15 ft) at the ends of the section only when the Contractor is responsible for the adjoining surface. End of run areas not included in the profilograph trace and any sections of pavement less than 15.24 m (50 ft) in length shall be checked longitudinally with a 3.028 m (10 ft) straight edge and the surface shall not deviate from a straight line by more than 3 mm in 3.028 m (1/8 inch in 10 ft). The profile trace and index for each segment of pavement must be furnished to the Engineer within 48 hours after each days run. Identification of all bumps and dips, with signature of the Operator shall be included with the submitted trace. For each day's run, an evaluation will be submitted to the Engineer within five days after pavement placement. The evaluation submitted shall include identification of segments which may qualify for less than 100 percent payment, segments that qualify for incentive payment and segments to be corrected. The Contractor will be responsible for all traffic control associated with the smoothness testing. Any portion of the project may be tested if the Engineer determines that the Contractor's test results are in question. If results are found to be inaccurate, the Contractor will be charged at a rate of $155.34 per lane km ($250 per lane mile) that is retested, with a minimum charge of $500.00. If the results are found to be accurate, the Department will be pay the Contractor at a rate of$155.34 per lane km ($250 per lane mile) that is retested, with a minimum charge of • $500.00. C4 Profile Index The profilograph trace will be evaluated by the Contractor for the profile index (PI) in accordance with California Method 526 on file with the Bituminous Engineer. The original trace shall be provided to the Engineer for verification of the Contractor's evaluation. A profile index shall be calculated for each segment. The index will be determined by summing the vertical deviations outside a 5 mm (0.2 in) blanking band. The units of this index are mm per km (inch per mile). When there is a segment of 76.2 m (250 ft) or less in length, the profilograph measurements for that segment shall be added to and included in the evaluation of the adjacent section to that segment. Bumps and dips exceeding 10.2 mm in a 7.62 m (0.4 inch in a 25 ft) span shall be identified separately. C5 Surface Correction All areas represented by deviations of 28 mm (1.1 in) or more, as measured by the 7.62 m (25 ft) profilograph, will be corrected by the Contractor. The Contractor may elect to correct dips or bumps of 10.2 to 25 mm (0.4 to 1.0 in) in a 7.62 m (25 ft) span. The Contractor will be assessed a penalty for dips or bumps of 10.2 to 25 mm (0.4 • to 1.0 in) that are not corrected. Bumps and dips not corrected will also be included in the
