	Field laboratories are required on jobs as stated in [http://www.modot.~~state.mo.us~~/business/standards_and_specs/~~Sec0601~~.pdf Standard Specification Section 601]. Type 1 (having a minimum 120 ft.<sup>2</sup> floor space) and Type 3 Field Laboratories (having a minimum 200 ft.<sup>2</sup> floor space and a locked storage area for nuclear equipment) are specified at no direct pay. For grading projects requiring a Type 2 Field Laboratory (see Sec 601.4 for a description), the designer is to consult the district construction and materials personnel on the core team to determine whether it is necessary to include a pay item for the laboratory. There may be cases that the project is in close proximity to a Resident Engineer's office so the Type 2 Field Laboratory can be eliminated from the project. Also, a project might be in close proximity to another project in progress where the laboratory can be shared with both projects.
