(OP)
If I specify that fill materials are to be compacted to 95% of the maximum dry density obtained by the Modified Proctor Test, ASTM D1557, how is this compaction verifed in the field as the work is progressing?

You now have volume and weight. Dry the soil you have volume and dry weight. Calculate densities weight/volume. If you use a nuclear density meter you need to calibrate occasionally using the sand replacement method.
There are standards and standard kit available.
