Need clarification on pavement thickness definition - HELP!!!

Need clarification on pavement thickness definition - HELP!!!

Need clarification on pavement thickness definition - HELP!!!

(OP)
I am working on a asphaltic concrete overlay design. The funding limitation is 1-Inch of asphalt for the overlay. This presents a problem because Aggregate for Superpave is set at 1-Inch Minus. It's impossible for the paving machine to lay down only an inch of 1-Inch material. So...my question is this:

Is one inch an inch layed down or an inch compacted? I have looked at the FP-03 (That's our standard) and can't find that specification.

Somebody help? Please?
