Retest. If the initial series of 5 cores produces a percent defective value of PD ≥ 30 for mainline or ramp lots, or PD ≥ 50 for other pavement lots, the Contractor may elect to take an additional set of 5 cores at random locations chosen by the ME. Take the additional cores within 15 days of receipt of the initial core results. If the additional cores are not taken within the 15 days, the ME will use the initial core results to determine the PPA. If the additional cores are taken, the ME will recalculate the PPA using the combined results from the 10 cores.
