ments. All materials used shall meet all quality
requirements of the Contract. In order to expedite the
inspection and testing of materials, the Contractor

shall notify the Engineer of the proposed sources of
materials at least two weeks prior to delivery.
When alternative materials are permitted for an
item in the Contract, the Contractor shall state at the
preconstruction conference the material that will be
furnished for that item.
Reference in the Contract to a particular product,
or to the product of a specific manufacturer, followed
by the phrase "or approved equal" is intended only to
establish a standard of quality, durability and
design, and shall not be construed as limiting compe-
tition. Products of other manufacturers will be accep-
table provided such products are equal to that speci-
fied.

106.02 Material Sources. Where practicable,
borrow pits, gravel pits, and quarry sites shall be
located so that they will not be visible from the
highway.
(a) Available Source. When the Contract
shows a location that may be used by the
Contractor as a source of sand, gravel, or
borrow material, the location will be known

are being obtained shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor. The Contractor shall
ensure that the requirements of the permits
do not conflict with the pit construction and
reclamation requirements shown in the Con-
tract for the available source.
The Division will investigate and obtain
samples from the various available sources.
These samples are not intended to indicate
the full extent and composition of an entire
deposit. These samples will be tested by the
Division and may be combined with various
materials such as mineral fillers and add.
iti ves for further testing, especially for
testing aggregate sources to obtain a satis-
factory design mix. The Contract will show
the location of the test holes where samples
