REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Description. The Roller shall consist essentially of a steel body and

frame, two steel compaction drums, diesel engine, hydrostatic drive, sprinkler

system, operator's station, retractable transport wheels, and all necessary

controls and accessories to make a complete, serviceable unit.

3.2 First article. When specified (see 6.2), the contractor shall furnish

one complete roller for first article inspection and approval (see 4.2.1 and

6.4).

3.3 Standard commercial product. The roller shall, as a minimum, be in

accordance with the requirements of this specification and shall be the

manufacturer's standard commercial product. Additional or better features

which are not specifically prohibited by this specification, but which are a

part of the manufacturer's standard commercial product, shall be included in

the roller being furnished. A standard commercial product is a product which

has been sold or is being currently offered for sale on the commercial market

through advertisements or manufacturer's catalogs, or brochures, and

represents the latest production model.

* 3.4 Materials. Materials used shall be free from defects which would

adversely affect the performance or maintainability of individual components

or of the overall assembly. Materials not specified herein shall be of the

same quality used for the intended purpose in commercial practice. Unless

otherwise specified herein, all equipment, material, and articles incorporated

in the work covered by this specification are to be new and fabricated using

materials produced from recovered materials to the maximum extent possible

without jeopardizing the intended use. The term "recovered materials" means

materials which have been collected or recovered from solid waste and

reprocessed to become a source of raw materials, as opposed to virgin raw

materials. Unless otherwise specified, none of the above shall be interpreted

to mean that the use of used or rebuilt products are allowed under this

specification.
