SUBMITTALS
PART 1
1.01
GENERAL
SECTION INCLUDES
A.
Requirements
1.
Where required by the Specifications, the CONTRACTOR shall
submit descriptive information that will enable the ENGINEER OWNER to determine
whether the CONTRACTOR’s proposed materials, equipment and methods of work
are in general conformance to the design concept and in accordance with the
Drawings and Specifications. The information submitted may consist of drawings,
specifications, descriptive data, certificates, samples, test results, product data, and
such other information, all as specifically required in the Specifications. In some
instances, specified submittal information describes some, but not all features of the
material, equipment, or method of work.
2.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the accuracy and
completeness of the information contained in each submittal and shall assure that
the material, equipment, or method of work shall be as described in the submittal.
The CONTRACTOR shall verify that all features of all products conform to the
requirements of the Drawings and Specifications. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure
that there is no conflict with other submittals and notify the ENGINEER OWNER in
each case where its submittal may affect the work of another CONTRACTOR or the
OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall ensure coordination of submittals among the
related crafts and subcontractors.
3.
Submittals will be reviewed for overall design intent and returned to
CONTRACTOR with action to be indicated by the ENGINEER OWNER. It shall be
the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to assure that previously accepted documents
are destroyed when they are superseded by a resubmittal as such.
4.
B.
It shall be the CONTRACTOR’s responsibility to ensure that
required items are corrected and resubmitted. Any work done
before approval shall be at the CONTRACTOR’s own risk.
Submittal Procedure
1.
Unless a different number is called for in the individual sections,
six (6) copies of each submittal and sample are required, four (4) of which will be
retained by the ENGINEER OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall receive two (2)
copies in return. Faxed submittals will not be accepted.
2.
Submittals that are related to or affect each other shall be
forwarded simultaneously as a package to facilitate coordinated review.
Uncoordinated submittals will be rejected.
3.
If the items or system proposed are acceptable but the major part
of the individual drawings or documents are incomplete or require revision, the
submittal will be returned with requirements for completion.
4.
The right is reserved for the ENGINEER OWNER to require
submittals in addition to those called for in individual sections.
5.
Submittals regarding material and equipment shall be submitted
directly to the ENGINEER OWNER and will be accompanied by a transmittal form. A
separate form shall be used for each specific item, class of material, equipment, and
items specified in separate discrete sections for which the submittal is required.
Submittals for various items shall be made with a single form when the items taken
together constitute a manufacturer’s package or are so functionally related that
expediency indicates checking or review of the group or package as a whole.
6.
A unique number, sequentially assigned, shall be noted on the
transmittal form accompanying each item submitted. Original submittal numbers
shall have the following format: “XXX-Y;” where “XXX” is the originally assigned
submittal number and “Y” is a sequential letter assigned for resubmittals (i.e., A, B, or
C being the first, second and third resubmittals, respectively). Submittal 25B, for
example, is the second resubmittal of Submittal 25.
7.
If the CONTRACTOR proposes to provide material, equipment, or
method of work that deviates from the Contract Documents, it shall indicate so under
“deviations” on the transmittal form accompanying the submittal copies.
8.
Submittals that do not have all the information required to be
submitted, including deviations, are not acceptable and will be returned without
review.
C.
Review Procedure:
1.
Submittals are specified for those features and characteristics of
materials, equipment, and methods of operation that can be selected based on the
CONTRACTOR’s judgment of their conformance to the requirements of the Drawing
and Specifications. Other features and characteristics are specified in a matter that
enables the CONTRACTOR to determine acceptable options without submittals. The
review procedure is based on the CONTRACTOR’s guarantee that all features and
characteristics not requiring submittals conform to the Drawings and Specifications.
Review shall not extend to means, methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures
of construction or to verifying quantities, dimensions, weights or gages, or fabrication
processes (except where specifically indicated or required by the Specifications) of
separate items, and as such, will not indicate approval of the assembly in which the
item functions.
2.
Unless otherwise specified, within twenty-one (21) calendar days after
receipt of the submittal, the ENGINEER OWNER will review the submittal and return
copies. The returned submittal will indicate one of the following actions:
a.
If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work
method complies with the Specifications, submittal copies will
be marked “NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN”. In this event, the
CONTRACTOR may begin to implement the work method or
incorporate the material or equipment covered by the
submittal.
b.
If the review indicates limited corrections are required, copies
will be marked “FURNISH AS NOTED”. The CONTRACTOR
may begin implementing the work method or incorporating
the material and equipment covered by the submittal in
accordance with the noted corrections. Where submittal
information will be incorporated in Operation and
Maintenance data, a corrected copy shall be provided.
c.
If the review indicates that the submittal is insufficient or
contains incorrect data, copies will be marked “REVISE AND
RESUBMIT”. Except at its own risk, the CONTRACTOR shall
not undertake work covered by this submittal until it has been
revised, resubmitted and returned marked either “NO
EXCEPTIONS TAKEN” or “FURNISH AS NOTED”.
d.
D.
If the review indicates that the material, equipment, or work
method do not comply with the Specifications, copies of the
submittal will be marked “REJECTED”. Submittals with
deviations that have not been identified clearly may be
rejected. Except at its own risk, the CONTRACTOR shall not
undertake the work covered by such submittals until a new
submittal is made and returned marked either ”NO
EXCEPTIONS TAKEN” or “FURNISH AS NOTED”.
Drawings
1.
The term “shop drawings” includes drawings, diagrams, layouts,
schematic, descriptive literature, illustrations schedules performance
and test data, and similar materials furnished by CONTRACTOR to
explain in detail specific portions of the work required by the Contract
2.
CONTRACTOR shall coordinate all such drawings, and review
them for legibility, accuracy, completeness and compliance with
contract requirements and shall indicate this approval thereon as
evidence of such coordination and review. Shop drawing
submitted to the ENGINEER OWNER without evidence of
CONTRACTOR’s approval will be returned for resubmission.
3.
Shop drawing shall be clearly identified with the name and project
number of this contract, and references to applicable specification
paragraphs and contract drawings. When catalog pages are
submitted, applicable items shall be clearly identified.
4.
CONTRACTOR shall stamp his approval on shop drawings prior to
submission to the ENGINEER OWNER as indication of his
checking and verification of dimensions and coordination with
interrelated items. Stamp shall read:
“(CONTRACTOR’s Name) represents that we have determined and
verified all field dimensions and measurements, field
construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers and similar
data, and that we have checked with the requirements of the
Specifications and Drawings, the Contract Documents, and
General Conditions”.
Marks on drawings by CONTRACTOR shall not be in red. Any marks
by CONTRACTOR shall be duplicated on all copies submitted.
E.
5.
If shop drawings show variations from contract requirements,
CONTRACTOR shall describe such variations in writing, separate
from the drawings, at time of submission. All such variations
must be approved by the ENGINEER OWNER. If ENGINEER
OWNER approves any such variations, he shall issue an
appropriate contract modification, except that, if the variation is
minor and does not involve a change in price or in time of
performance, a modification need not be issued.
6.
Should the CONTRACTOR propose any item on his shop
drawings or incorporate an item into the work, and that item should
subsequently prove to be defective or otherwise unsatisfactory,
(regardless of the ENGINEER’s OWNER’s preliminary review), the
CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expense, replace the item with
another item that will perform satisfactorily.
Certificates
For those items called for in individual sections, furnish six (6) certificates of
compliance from manufacturers or suppliers certifying that materials or
equipment being furnished under the Contract comply with the requirements
of these Specifications.
F.
Samples
Samples shall be sufficient in size to clearly illustrate functional
characteristics and full range of color, texture, and pattern.
G.
Effect of Review of CONTRACTOR’s Submittals
Review of drawings, data, methods of work, or information regarding
materials or equipment the CONTRACTOR proposes to provide, shall not
relieve the contractor of its responsibility for errors therein and shall not be
regarded as an assumption of risks or liability by the ENGINEER or the
OWNER, or by any officer or employee thereof, and the CONTRACTOR
shall have no claim under the Contract on account of the failure or partial
failure, of the method of work, material, or equipment so reviewed. A mark of
“NO EXCEPTIONS TAKEN” or “FURNISH AS NOTED” shall mean that the
OWNER has no objection to the CONTRACTOR, upon its own responsibility,
using the plan or method of work proposed, or providing the materials or
equipment proposed.

GENERAL
SECTION INCLUDES
A. General
1. The CONTRACTOR acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the
nature and location of the work, the general and local conditions,
particularly those bearing upon access to the site; handling, storage, and
disposal of materials; availability of water, electricity and roads;
uncertainties of weather, river stages, or similar physical conditions at the
site; the conformation and conditions of the ground; the equipment and
facilities needed preliminary to and during the execution of the work; and
all other matters which can in any way affect the work or the cost thereof
under this Contract.
2.
The CONTRACTOR further acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as
to the character, quality and quantity of surface and subsurface materials
to be encountered from his inspection of the site and from reviewing any
available records of exploratory work furnished by the OWNER or
included in these Documents. Failure by the CONTRACTOR to acquaint
himself with the physical conditions of the site and all the available
information will not relieve him from responsibility for properly estimating
the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.
3.
The CONTRACTOR warrants that as a result of his examination and
investigation of all the aforesaid data that he can perform the work in a good
and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the OWNER. The

different from those indicated in these Documents, and differing materially from those
ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the character of work
covered in these Contract Documents, the CONTRACTOR shall promptly, and before
such conditions are disturbed, notify the ENGINEER OWNER in writing of such
changed conditions.
b. The ENGINEER OWNER will investigate such conditions promptly and following
this investigation, the CONTRACTOR shall proceed with the work, unless otherwise
instructed by the ENGINEER OWNER. If the ENGINEER OWNER finds that such
conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or
in the time required for performing the work, the ENGINEER OWNER will
recommend to the OWNER the amount of adjustment in cost and time he considers
reasonable. The OWNER will make the final decision on all Change Orders to the
Contract regarding any adjustment in cost or time for completion.

least 48 hours in advance. Under no circumstances expose any utility
without first obtaining permission from the appropriate agency. Once
permission has been granted, locate, expose, and provide temporary support
for all existing underground utilities.
C.
The CONTRACTOR shall protect all utility poles from damage. If interfering
power poles, telephone poles, guy wires, or anchors are encountered, notify
the ENGINEER OWNER and the appropriate utility company at least 48
hours in advance of construction operations to permit the necessary
arrangements for protection or relocation of the interfering structure.
D.
The CONTRACTOR shall be solely and directly responsible to the owner and
operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss,
inconvenience, delay, suits, actions, or claims of any character brought
because of any injuries or damage which may result from the construction
operations under this Contract.

The CONTRACTOR shall take necessary precautions to prevent damage to
existing structures whether on the surface, aboveground, or underground.
An attempt has been made to show major structures on the Drawings. The
completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and it is presented
simply as a guide to avoid known possible difficulties.
During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor relocations of
the work will be necessary. Such relocations shall be made only by direction
of the ENGINEER OWNER. If existing structures are encountered that
prevent the construction, and that are not properly shown on the Drawings,
notify the ENGINEER OWNER before continuing with the construction in
order that the ENGINEER OWNER may make such field revision as
necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures. If the CONTRACTOR
shall fail to so notify the ENGINEER OWNER when an existing structure is
encountered, and shall proceed with the construction despite the
interference, he shall do so at his own risk.
EASEMENTS
A.
Where portions of the work are located on public or private property,
easements and permits will be obtained by the OWNER. Easements will
provide for the use of the property for construction purposes to the extent
indicated on the easements. Copies of these easements and permits are
available upon request to the OWNER. It shall be the CONTRACTOR's
responsibility to determine the adequacy of the easement obtained in every
case and to abide by all requirements and provisions of the easement. The
CONTRACTOR shall confine his construction operations to within the
easement limits or make special arrangements with the property owners or
appropriate public agency for the additional area required. Any damage to
property, either inside or outside the limits of the easements provided by the
OWNER, shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR as specified
herein. The CONTRACTOR shall remove, protect, and replace all fences or
other items encountered on public or private property. Before final payment
will be authorized by the ENGINEER OWNER, the CONTRACTOR will be
required to furnish the OWNER with written releases from property owners or
public agencies where side agreements or special easements have been
made by the CONTRACTOR or where the CONTRACTOR's operations, for
any reason, have not been kept within the construction right-of-way obtained
by the OWNER.
B.
3.05
It is anticipated that the required easements and permits will be obtained
before construction is started. However, should the procurement of any
easement or permit be delayed, the CONTRACTOR shall schedule and
perform the work around these areas until such a time as the easement or
permit has been secured.
LAND MONUMENTS
A.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER OWNER of any
existing Federal, State, Town, County, and private land monuments
encountered. Private monuments shall be preserved, or replaced by a
licensed surveyor at the CONTRACTOR's expense. When Government
monuments are encountered, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the
ENGINEER OWNER at least two (2) weeks in advance of the proposed
construction in order that the ENGINEER OWNER will have ample
opportunity to notify the proper authority and reference these monuments for
later replacement.

EXECUTION
GENERAL EXCAVATION/EMBANKMENT
A.
General: The excavation and embankment for the project work should be
finished to reasonably smooth and uniform surfaces. Variation from the
subgrade plane shall not be more than .08 feet in soil or more than .08 feet
above or .50 below in rock. Where bituminous or concrete surfacing
materials are to be placed directly on the subgrade, the subgrade plane shall
not vary more than 0.04 feet. Materials shall not be wasted without
permission of the ENGINEER OWNER. Excavation operations shall be
conducted so that material outside of the limits of slopes will not be
disturbed. Prior to beginning grading operations in any area, all necessary
clearing and grubbing in that area shall have been performed in accordance
with Section 02230 of these Specifications.
The CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER OWNER in sufficient time
before beginning excavation or embankment such that the necessary
topography and/or cross-sections may be taken. The CONTRACTOR shall
not excavate beyond the dimensions and elevations established, and
material shall not be removed prior to surveying the site.
When the CONTRACTOR’s excavating operations encounter remains of
pre-historic people’s dwelling sites or artifacts of historical or archaeological
significance, the operations, shall be temporarily discontinued. The
ENGINEER OWNER will contact archaeological authorities to determine the
disposition thereof. When directed, the CONTRACTOR shall excavate the
site in such a manner as to preserve the artifacts encountered and shall
remove them for delivery to the custody of the proper state authorities. Such
excavation will be considered and paid for as extra work.
B.
Excavation:
1.
Unclassified: All excess suitable material excavated from the project site
and not used for embankment shall be removed from the project site and become the
property of the CONTRACTOR. Where material encountered within the limit of the
work is considered unsuitable for embankment (fills) on any portion of this project
work, such material shall be excavated as directed by the ENGINEER OWNER and
replaced with suitable fill material. All unsuitable excavated material from excavation
consisting of any type of debris (surface or buried), excavated rock, bedrock or rocks
larger than 6 inches in diameter and boulders shall be hauled from the project site
and disposed of by the CONTRACTOR at his expense. Debris is defined as
“anything that is not earth which exists at the job site”.
2.
Muck: Where excavation to the finished grade section results in a
subgrade or slopes of unsuitable soil, the ENGINEER OWNER may
require the CONTRACTOR to remove the unsuitable materials and
backfill to the finished graded section with approved material.
Disposal of the material shall be at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
Good surface drainage shall be provided around all permanent cuts
to direct surface runoff away from the cut face.
3.
C.
Rock: Unless otherwise specified, rock shall be excavated to a
minimum depth of 0.5 feet below subgrade within the limits of the
channel area, and the excavation shall be backfilled with material
shown on the Drawings or as designated by the ENGINEER
OWNER. Disposal of material and replacement with suitable
approved material shall be at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
Embankment Construction: Embankment construction shall consist of
constructing all fill areas, including preparation of the areas upon which they
are to be placed, the placing and compacting of approved material within
areas where unsuitable materials have been removed, the preparation of
subgrade for pavement, and the placing and compacting of embankment
material in holes, pits and other depressions within the project area. Only
approved materials shall be used in the construction of embankments and
backfills.
Approved materials shall consist of clean on-site cohesive soils or approved
imported soils. On-site materials should not be used without the approval of
the ENGINEER OWNER if select material is called for in the Drawings. Onsite cohesive soils are suitable for use as compacted fill provided the
following recommendations are met:

On-site cohesive soils or imported soils should be placed and compacted
in horizontal lifts, using equipment and procedures that will produce
recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift and
embankment height. On-site or imported cohesive soils should be
compacted within a moisture content range of 2% below, to 2% above
optimum moisture content and compacted to 95% of the Maximum
Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698).
When embankment is to be placed and compacted on hillsides, or when new
embankment is to be compacted against existing embankments, or when
embankment is built 1/2 width at a time, the slopes that are steeper than 4:1
when measured longitudinally or at right angles to the adjacent ground shall
be continuously benched over those areas where it is required as the work is
brought up in layers. Benching shall be well keyed and where practical a
minimum of 8 feet. Each horizontal cut shall begin at the intersection of the
original ground and the vertical sides of the previous cuts. Material thus cut
out shall be recompacted along with the new embankment material at the
CONTRACTOR’s expense.
The ground surface underlying all fills shall be carefully prepared by
removing all organic matter, scarification to a depth of 8 inches and
recompacting to 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM
D698) at optimum moisture content + or - 2% prior to fill placement.
Embankment material shall be placed in horizontal layers not exceeding 8
inches (loose measurement) and shall be compacted to 95% of the
Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698) at optimum moisture
content + or - 2%. Effective spreading equipment shall be used on each lift
to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. As the compaction of each
layer progresses, continuous leveling and manipulating will be required to
assure uniform density.
For embankments which serve as berms, the downstream portion shall be
“keyed” into the subsurface soils a minimum of 3 feet to enhance the stability
of the slope.
Materials which are removed from excavations beneath the water table may
be over the optimum moisture content and will require that they be dried out
prior to reusing them.
Cross hauling or other action as appropriate will be ordered when necessary
to insure that the best available material is placed in critical areas of
embankments, including the top 2 feet of all embankments. No additional
payment will be made for cross hauling ordered by the ENGINEER OWNER.
Frozen materials shall not be used in construction of embankments.
During the construction of the channels, the channel bottom shall be
maintained in such condition that it will be well drained at all times.
Excavation or Embankment (Fill), and Structural Backfill work either
completed or in a stage of completion that is either eroded or washed away
or becomes unstable due to either rains, snow, snow melt, channel flows or
lack of proper water control shall be either removed and replaced,
recompacted or reshaped as directed by the ENGINEER OWNER and in
accordance with the Drawings and Specifications at the CONTRACTOR’s
sole expense. Removed unsuitable materials shall be hauled away and
disposed of at the CONTRACTOR’s expense. Placing of replacement
materials for removed unsuitable materials shall be purchased, placed and
compacted at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
D.
Proof rolling with a heavy rubber tired roller will be required, if designated on
the Drawings or when ordered by the ENGINEER OWNER. Proof rolling
shall be done after specified compaction has been obtained. Areas found to
be weak and those areas which failed shall be ripped, scarified, wetted if
necessary, and recompacted to the requirements for density and moisture at
the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
Proof rolling shall be done with equipment and in a manner acceptable to the
ENGINEER OWNER. Proof rolling as shown on the Drawings or as ordered
by the ENGINEER OWNER shall not be measured and paid for separately,
but shall be included in the unit prices bid for the work.
3.02
EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL FOR STRUCTURES
A.
Poor foundation material for any of the work shall be removed, by the
CONTRACTOR, as directed by the ENGINEER OWNER. The
CONTRACTOR will be compensated for removal and replacement of such
materials in accordance with Muck Excavation.
The CONTRACTOR is cautioned that construction equipment may cause the
natural soils to pump or deform while performing excavation work inside and
on footings, structural floor slabs, or other structure foundation areas.
Foundation materials which are: a) saturated by either surface or subsurface
flows due to the lack of adequate water control or dewatering work by the
CONTRACTOR; b) frozen for any reason; or, c) that are disturbed by the
CONTRACTOR’s work or caused to become unacceptable for foundation
material purposes by means of the CONTRACTOR’s equipment, manpower,
or methods of work shall be removed and replaced by the CONTRACTOR at
his expense.
Dewatering should not be conducted by pumping from inside footing,
structural floor slab, or other structure foundation limits. This may decrease
the supporting capacity of the soils.
Care should be taken when excavating the foundations to avoid disturbing
the supporting materials. Excavation by either hand or careful backhoe soil
removal, may be required in excavating the last few inches of material to
obtain the subgrade of any item of the concrete work.
Any over-excavated subgrades that are due to the CONTRACTOR’s actions,
shall be brought back to subgrade elevations by the CONTRACTOR and at
his expense in the following manner:
1.
For over-excavations of 2 inches or less, either: Backfill and compact
with an approved granular materials; backfill with 1/2 inch crushed
rock; or fill within concrete at the time of the appurtenant structure
concrete pour.
2.
For over-excavations greater than 2 inches, backfill and compact with
an approved granular material.
All granular footings, structural floor slabs, or other structure areas shall be
compacted with a vibratory plate compactor prior to placement of concrete,
reinforcing, or bedding materials.
Backfill, and fill within 3 feet of, or adjacent to, all structures and for full height
of the walls, shall be selected non-swelling material. It shall be granular, well
graded, and free from stones larger than 2 inches. Material may be job
excavated, but selectivity will be required as determined by the ENGINEER
OWNER. Stockpiled material, other than topsoil from the excavation shall be
used for backfilling unless an impervious structural backfill is specified. The
backfill material shall consist of either clean on-site granular materials free of
stones larger than 2 inches in diameter with no more than 20% passing the
No. 200 sieve, or equivalent imported materials. All backfill around the
structures shall be consolidated by mechanical tamping. The material shall
be placed in 6-inch loose lifts within a range of 2% above to 2% below the
optimum moisture content and compacted to 95% of Maximum Standard
Proctor Density (ASTM D698) for cohesive soils, or to 75% relative density
for pervious material as determined by the relative density of cohesionless
soils test, ASTM D4253.
When specified on the Drawings or as required by the ENGINEER OWNER,
Class I structural backfill shall meet the following gradation requirements:
Sieve Size
2-Inch
No. 4
No. 50
No. 200
% by Weight Passing
Square Mesh Sieves
100
30 - 100
10 – 60
5 – 20
In addition, this material shall have a liquid limit not exceeding 35 and a
plasticity index of not over 6.
Impervious structural backfill, where shown or specified, shall consist of
material having 100% finer than 2 inches in diameter and a minimum of 30%
passing a No. 200 U.S. Standard Sieve. The material shall be placed in 6inch loose lifts within a range of 2% above to 2% below the optimum
moisture content and compacted to 95% of Maximum Standard Proctor
Density for cohesive soils as determined by ASTM D698.

PART 3
3.01
EXECUTION
GENERAL
A.
3.02
It is the primary purpose of this specification to secure a completed
course of treated material which contains a uniform fly ash/soil
mixture with no loose or segregated areas; has a uniform density and
moisture content; is well bound for its full depth; and, has a smooth
surface suitable for placing subsequent courses. It shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of his work;
to process a sufficient quantity of material to provide full depth as
shown on plans; to use the proper amounts of fly ash; to maintain the
work; and, to rework the courses as necessary to meet the above
requirements.
PREPARATION OF SUBGRADE
A. Before other construction operations are begun, the subgrade shall be graded
and shaped to enable the fly ash treatment of materials in place, in conformance with
the lines, grades, and thickness shown on the plans. Unsuitable soil or materials
shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material.
The subgrade shall be firm and able to support, without
displacement, the construction equipment and the compaction
hereinafter specified. Soft or yielding subgrade shall be corrected
and made stable by scarifying, adding fly ash, and compacting until it
is of uniform stability.
If the Contractor elects to use a cutting and pulverizing machine that
will remove the subgrade material accurately to the secondary grade
and pulverize the material at the same time, he will not be required to
expose the secondary grade nor windrow the material. However, the
Contractor shall be required to roll the subgrade, as directed by the
ENGINEER OWNER, before using the pulverizing machine and
correct any soft areas that this rolling may reveal. This method will
be permitted only where a machine is provided which will ensure that
the material is cut uniformly to the proper depth and which has
cutters that will plane the secondary grade to a smooth surface over
the entire width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that
visible indication is given at all times that the machine is cutting to the
proper depth.
3.03
APPLICATION
A. The fly ash shall be spread by an approved spreader at the rates shown on the
plans or as directed by the ENGINEER OWNER. A motor grader shall not be used to
spread the fly ash. The fly ash shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in such
manner as to reduce
the scattering of fly ash by wind to a minimum. Fly ash
shall not be applied when wind conditions, in the opinion of the ENGINEER OWNER,
are such that blowing fly ash becomes objectionable to traffic or adjacent property
owners.
3.04
MIXING
A.
The soil and fly ash shall be thoroughly mixed by approved rotary
mixers or other approved equipment, and the mixing continued until,
in the opinion of the ENGINEER OWNER, a homogeneous, friable
mixture of soil and fly ash is obtained, free from all clods or lumps.
Initial mixing after the addition of fly ash will be accomplished dry or
with a minimum of water to prevent fly ash balls. Water required to
achieve the specified moisture content for the mixture should be
added after initial mixing.
If the soil fly ash mixture contains clods, they shall be reduced in size
by raking, blading, disking, harrowing, scarifying or the use of other
approved pulverization methods so that when all nonslaking
aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder
of the material shall meet the following requirements when tested at
the field moisture condition or dry by laboratory sieves:
Minimum Passing 1-3/4 inch sieve
Minimum Passing No. 4 sieve
100 percent
60 percent
During final mixing, water shall be added to the materials as directed
by the ENGINEER OWNER, until the proper moisture content has
been secured. Water shall be added through the pulverizing
machine or other method acceptable to the ENGINEER OWNER to
develop a uniform, controlled rate addition of the needed moisture.
Final moisture content of the mix, prior to compaction, shall not
exceed the optimum moisture content of the mix by more than 2
percent nor by less than the optimum by more than 4 percent.
Should the natural moisture content of the soil be above the specified
range, aeration of the soil may be required prior to addition of the fly
ash.
3.05
COMPACTION
A.
Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after final mixing
of the fly ash and be completed within one hour following addition of
fly ash and water. The material shall be sprinkled as necessary to
maintain the optimum moisture. Compaction of the mixture shall
begin at the bottom and shall continue until the entire depth of
mixture is uniformly compacted to a specified density.
All non-uniform (too-wet, too dry or insufficiently treated) areas which
appear shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas
affected, adding or removing material as required and reshaping the
recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. The surface of the course
shall be maintained in a smooth condition, free from undulations and
ruts, until other work is placed thereon or the work is accepted.
The stabilized section shall be compacted to the extent necessary to provide the
density specified below:
Description
For fly ash treated subgrade, existing
subbase or existing base that will receive
subsequent subbase or base courses
For fly ash treated subbase or base
that will receive surface course
Not less than 95 percent
maximum dry density
(ASTM D-698)
Not less than 98 percent
maximum dry density
(ASTM D-698)
In addition to the requirements specified for density, the full depth of the material
shown on the plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and
stable under construction equipment. After each section is completed, the
ENGINEER OWNER will make tests as necessary. If the material fails to meet the
density requirements, the ENGINEER OWNER may require it to be reworked as
necessary to meet those requirements or require the Contractor to change his
construction methods to obtain required density on the next section. Throughout this
entire operation the shape of the course shall be maintained by blading, and the
surface, upon completion, shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical section
shown on the plans and to the established lines and grades. Blading should be
terminated within two hours after blending of the fly ash. Should the material, due to
any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density and finish before the next
course is placed or the work is accepted, it shall be reprocessed, recompacted and
refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Reprocessing shall follow the same
pattern as the initial stabilization, including the addition of fly ash.
3.06
FINISHING, CURING AND PREPARATION FOR SURFACING
A. After the final layer or course of the treated subgrade, subbase or base has been
compacted, it shall be brought to the required lines and grades in accordance with
the typical sections.
1.
The resulting base surface shall be thoroughly rolled with a
pneumatic tire roller and "clipped", "skinned" or "tight bladed"
by a power grader to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch,
removing all loosened stabilized material from the section.
Recompaction of the loose material should not be attempted.
The surface shall then be thoroughly compacted with the
pneumatic roller, adding small increments of moisture as
needed during rolling. If plus No. 4 aggregate is present in
the mixture, one complete coverage of the section with the fat
wheel roller shall be made immediately after the "clipping"
operation. When directed by the ENGINEER OWNER,
surface finishing methods may be varied from this procedure
provided a dense, uniform surface, is produced. The
moisture content of the surface material must be maintained
within the specified range during all finishing operations.
Surface compaction and finishing shall proceed in such a
manner as to produce, in not more than two hours, a smooth,
closely knit surface, free of cracks, ridges or loose material
conforming to the crown, grade and line shown on the plans.
2.
After the fly ash treated course has been finished as specified
herein, the surface shall be protected against rapid drying by
either of the following curing methods for a period of not less
than three days or until the surface or subsequent courses
are placed:
a.
Maintain in a thorough and continuously moist

use this method, it shall be the responsibility of the
contractor to protect the asphalt membrane from
being picked up by traffic by either sanding or dusting
the surface of same. The asphalt membrane may
remain in place when the proposed surface or other
base courses are placed. Asphaltic emulsions are not
acceptable for the asphaltic membrane.

EQUIPMENT
A.
General: Equipment shall be capable of legally performing the work as
described in this Specification. Equipment that is inadequate to obtain the
results specified shall be replaced or supplemented as required to meet the
requirements of this Specification. Any equipment that is used in an
improper manner may be cause for rejection of the work if in the opinion of
the ENGINEER the work fails to meet the requirements of this specification.
Equipment used for compaction shall be the rolling type, vibratory type, or
combination of both types, and shall be of sufficient capacity to meet the
compaction requirements herein.
PART 3
3.01
EXECUTION
PREPARATION OF FOUNDATION
A.
The foundation shall be considered to be the finished earth subgrade,
subbase course, or base course, as the case may be, upon which any
subbase, base or surface course is to be constructed.
Preparation of foundation for construction of a subbase, base, or surface
course shall consist of the work necessary to restore, correct, strengthen or
prepare the foundation to a condition suitable for applying and supporting the
intended course.
For aggregate base course roads and parking areas, the top six-inches of
topsoil shall be stripped within the area to be aggregate surfaced. Following
stripping of the topsoil, the upper 12 inches of the subgrade shall be scarified
and compacted to a minimum of 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor
Density (ASTM D698). On-site material may be used as accepted by the
ENGINEER, for compacted fill for the aggregate base course. Fill shall be
placed within 2% of optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum
of 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698).
Aggregate base course used as a foundation for pavements shall be placed
on the subgrade within two percent of optimum moisture and compacted to a
minimum of 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698).
The top six inches of topsoil shall be stripped within the area to be aggregate
surfaced. Following stripping of the topsoil, the upper 12 inches of the
subgrade shall be scarified and compacted to a minimum of 95% of the
Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698). On-site material may be
used, as accepted by the ENGINEER, for compacted fill for the aggregate
base course. Fill shall be placed within 2% of optimum moisture content and
compacted to a minimum of 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor Density
(ASTM D698). Deviations in aggregate base course under pavements of
more than 1/4 inch in 10 feet, measured with a 10-foot straight edge, shall be
corrected prior to pavement construction.
The foundation shall be prepared and constructed such that it will have a
uniform density throughout. It shall be brought to the required alignment and
cross section with equipment and methods adapted for the purpose. Upon
completion of the shaping and compacting operations, the foundation shall
be smooth, at the required density, and at the proper elevation and contour
to receive the aggregate base course.
After the specified compaction has been obtained, the subgrade under the
curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement shall be proof-rolled with a heavily
loaded rubber tire roller, fully loaded water truck, or other approved
equipment. Those areas which produce a rut depth of over ½ inch or which
crack the subgrade after pumping and rebounding shall be ripped, scarified,
wetted or dried if necessary, and recompacted to the requirements for
density and moisture at the CONTRACTOR’S expense. Where unsuitable
material is encountered, the ENGINEER may require the CONTRACTOR to
remove the unsuitable materials and backfill to the finished grade with
approved material. The completed subgrade shall be proof-rolled again after
placement of approved material.
Unless otherwise provided, all holes, ruts and other depressions in the
foundation shall be filled with materials similar to those existing in the
foundation. High places shall be excavated and removed to the required
lines, grade and section.
Base course material shall not be placed on a foundation that is soft, spongy,
or one that is covered by ice or snow. Base course shall not be placed on a
dry or dusty foundation where the existing condition would cause rapid
dissipation of moisture from the base course material and hinder or preclude
its proper compaction. Dry foundations shall have water applied and
reworked and compacted as necessary.
The ENGINEER shall direct the CONTRACTOR to make minor adjustments
in the finish grade from that shown in the Drawings as may be necessary or
desirable to maintain the characteristics of a stabilized foundation by
minimizing the amount of cutting into or filling.
3.02
EARTH SUBGRADE
A.
3.03
When the foundation is an earth subgrade it shall be prepared by removing
all vegetation, excavating and removing materials, filling depressions,
scarifying, shaping, smoothing and compacting to meet the required grade,
section and density. Stones over six inches in greatest dimension shall be
removed.
PLACEMENT
A.
The aggregate base course shall be constructed to the width and section
shown in the Drawings. If the required compacted depth of base coarse
exceeds six inches, the base shall be constructed in two or more layers of
approximate equal thickness. The maximum compacted thickness of any
one layer shall not exceed six inches.
Each layer shall be constructed as far in advance of the succeeding layer
as the ENGINEER may direct. The work shall, in general, proceed from
the point on the project nearest the point of supply of the aggregate in
order that the hauling equipment may travel over the previously placed
material, and the hauling equipment shall be routed as uniformly as
possible over all portions of the previously constructed courses or layers
of the base course.
The material shall be deposited on the soil foundation, or previously placed
layer in a manner to minimize segregation and to facilitate spreading to a
uniform layer of the required section. In the event that blending of materials
is necessary to provide required gradation and properties of the material, and
is done in the roadway, the same shall be accomplished by mixing the
aggregate and blending material by means of blade graders, discs, harrows
or other equipment to effect a uniform distribution and gradation throughout
the finished mixture. Excessive mixing and grading that will cause
segregation between the coarse and fine materials is prohibited.
3.04
COMPACTION
A.
After a layer or course has been placed and spread to the required
thickness, width and contour, it shall be compacted. If the material is too dry
to readily attain the required density, it shall be uniformly moistened to the
degree necessary during compaction operations for proper compaction.
B.
Compaction of each layer shall continue until the required density of Section
3.01 is reached. The surface of each layer shall be maintained during
compaction operations in such a manner that a uniform texture is produced
and aggregates firmly keyed.
All areas where proper compaction is not obtainable due to segregation of
materials, excess fines, or other deficiencies in the aggregate, shall be
reworked as necessary or the material removed and replaced with
aggregates that will meet this specification.
The surface of each layer shall be kept true and smooth at all times.
3.05
MIXING
A.
General: Unless otherwise specified, the CONTRACTOR shall mix the
aggregate by any one of the three following methods.
1.
Stationary Plant Method:
Aggregate base course and water shall be mixed in an approved
mixer. After mixing the aggregate shall be transported to the
project site while it contains the proper moisture content and shall
be placed on the roadbed by means of an approved spreader.
2.
Travel Plant Method
After the material for each layer has been placed through an
aggregate spreader or windrow sizing device, it shall be uniformly
mixed by a traveling mixing plant.
3.
Road Mix Method
After material for each layer has been placed, the materials shall be
mixed while at an optimum moisture content by motor graders or
other approved equipment until the mixture is uniform throughout.
3.06
SHOULDER CONSTRUCTION
A.
Shoulders shall be constructed with base course material to conform to the
elevation and section shown in the Drawings. No equipment shall be used
which by its design or through its manner of operation that will damage the
pavement or curbs. Insofar as practicable, the base course material shall be
placed directly on the shoulder area. Materials that are deposited outside the
shoulder area, if not contaminated, shall be recovered and placed within the
required limits. The CONTRACTOR will not be compensated for materials
not recovered as determined by the ENGINEER.
Materials shall not be deposited on the pavement or surfacing during placing
unless specifically permitted by the ENGINEER.
The base course material as placed shall be spread and compacted to the
required density in layers not exceeding six inches in compacted
thickness. Any material inadvertently placed on the pavement shall be
broomed from the pavement. The result shall not effect a change in the
gradation of the shoulder material.

mechanical means or any positive method under the control of the
ENGINEER OWNER.
4.
Mixer Unit for Continuous Method: The plant shall include a continuous
mixer of an approved twin pugmill type, and shall be capable of producing a
uniform mixture within the job mix tolerance fixed by these Specifications.
The paddles shall be of a type adjustable for angular position on the shafts
and reversible to retard the flow of the mix. The mixer shall carry a
manufacturer’s plate giving the net volumetric contents of the mixer at the
several heights inscribed on a permanent gauge and also giving the rate of
feed of aggregate per minute at plant operating speed.
Unless otherwise required, determination of mixing time shall be by weight
methods under the following formula. The weights shall be determined for
the job by tests made by the ENGINEER OWNER.
Mixing time in seconds = Pugmill dead capacity in pounds
Pugmill output in pounds/seconds
The mixing time shall be approved by the ENGINEER OWNER.
2.03
PREPARATION OF MATERIAL
A.
Preparation of Asphalt Cement: The asphalt cement shall be heated at the paving
plant to a temperature not exceeding 325F. The penetration of the asphalt cement
shall be maintained within the limits of penetration specified through the period of
use.
B.
Preparation of Mineral Aggregates: The mineral aggregates shall be dried and
heated at the paving plant so that when delivered to the mixer, they shall be at as
low a temperature as is consistent with proper mixing and laying, and in no case to
exceed 350F. They may be fed simultaneously into the same drier but in all cases,
immediately after heating, they shall be screened into three or more bins. The
screen sizes shall be approved by the ENGINEER OWNER prior to the start of
construction.
C.
Preparation and Composition of the Mixture: Each size of hot aggregate, the mineral
filler and the asphalt cement shall be measured separately and accurately to the
proportions in which they are to be mixed. After the hot aggregate and mineral filler
have been charged into the mixer and thoroughly mixed as directed by the

B.
Prior to placing the prime coat, the base course shall be thoroughly cleaned. Loose
material shall be removed from the existing surface as directed by the ENGINEER
OWNER.
PRIME COAT
A.
All previously prepared bases or existing surface shall be primed with a cationic
emulsified asphalt in accordance with the requirements of these Specifications, and
at the locations that are shown on the Plans or as directed by the ENGINEER
OWNER. The prime coat shall be placed by means of an approved pressure
distributor. Before application, the asphaltic oil shall be heated as directed by the
ENGINEER OWNER. However, it shall not be heated to more than 180F. In
general, the rate of application shall be from 0.25 to 0.35 gallons per square yard as
directed by the ENGINEER OWNER. The prime coat shall be carefully applied,
particularly around curbs and sidewalks. If excessive amounts of curb, sidewalks, or
other structures are sprayed with asphaltic oil, they shall be cleaned as directed by
the ENGINEER OWNER at the CONTRACTOR’s expense. All vertical contact faces
shall be primed by painting with cationic emulsified asphaltic oil.
3.03
ASPHALTIC CONCRETE SURFACE
A.
Transportation of Mixture: The mixture shall be transported from the paving plant to
the work in vehicles equipped with tight metal compartments previously cleaned of all
foreign materials. When directed by the ENGINEER OWNER, the compartments
shall be sufficiently insulated and each load shall be covered with canvas or other
suitable materials of sufficient size to protect it from weather conditions. The inside
surface of all vehicle compartments used for hauling mixture must be lightly
lubricated with a tin oil or soap solution just before loading, but excess lubricant will
not be permitted. No load shall be sent out so late in the day as to interfere with
spreading and compacting the mixture during daylight unless artificial light,
satisfactory to the ENGINEER, is provided.
B.
General Conditions: The mixture shall be laid only when the base is dry and only
when weather conditions are suitable. The mixture shall be laid when atmospheric
temperatures are consistent with the placement temperature limitations as outlined in
Table 5. Asphalt shall not be placed when frost exists in the subgrade. Any material
laid shall be rolled with pneumatic rollers in addition to the specified rolling, as
directed by the ENGINEER OWNER.
C.
Placing Asphalt Mixture: If traffic is allowed to use the prepared subgrade or subbase, the subgrade or sub-base shall be checked and corrected as needed
immediately ahead of placing bituminous materials. Prior to placement of the
bituminous surface, the base shall be cleaned of all dirt or other foreign matter.
When the new pavement abuts the old pavement, the Contractor shall cut the old
pavement as directed by the Engineer and paint the edge of the pavement with a
tack coat.

Notes: Air Temperature is taken in the shade. Surface is defined as the existing base
on which the new pavement is to be placed.
(1)
Temperatures to be used when mix contains unmodified asphalt cement (PG 5828, PG 58-22, PG 64-22). Temperatures to be used with PG 76-28, PG 70-34,
PG 64-28 and Pg 58-40.
(2)
Temperature to be used when mix contains AC-20R [AC-20 (Rubberized)].
The asphaltic pavement shall be placed only when the base is stable and weather
conditions are suitable. The asphaltic pavement shall have a density of ninety-two
percent (92%) to ninety-six percent (96%) of the maximum theoretical density,
determined according to Colorado Procedure 51. Field density determinations will
be made in accordance with Colorado Procedure 44 or 81.
While the surface is being compacted and finished, the Contractor shall carefully trim
the outside edges of the pavement to the proper alignment.
Unless otherwise permitted by the ENGINEER OWNER, the mixture shall be
spread by means of a mechanical self-powered paver, capable of spreading the
mixture true to the line, grade, and crown set by the ENGINEER OWNER.
Pavers shall be equipped with hoppers and distributing screws of the reversing type
to place the mixture evenly in front of adjustable screeds. The mixture shall be
dumped in the center of the hoppers and care exercised to avoid overloading and
spilling over of the mixture upon the base. Pavers shall operate when laying
mixtures at such speed between 10 feet and 20 feet per minute, as may be decided
by the ENGINEER OWNER.
Pavers shall be equipped with a quick and efficient steering device and shall have
forward and reverse speeds of not less than 100 feet per minute.
Unless operating on fixed side forms, pavers shall employ mechanical devices such
as equalizing runners, straightedge runners, evener arms, or other compensating
devices to adjust the grade and confine the edges of the mixture to true lines within
the use of stationary side forms. The pavers shall be capable of spreading the
mixtures, without segregation, in thickness of from ½ inch to 3 inches, to a maximum
width of 10 feet in increments of 1 foot or less and to a minimum width of 8 feet.
They shall be equipped with blending or joint leveling devices for smoothing and
adjusting all longitudinal joints between adjacent strips of courses of the same
thickness.
When asphalt concrete pavement thickness in excess of 2 inches is called for, they
shall be laid in separate courses of not less than 1 inch or more than 2 inches or as
directed by the ENGINEER OWNER.
The term “screed” includes a “strike-off” device operating by cutting, crawling, or
other practical action which is effective on the mixture at a workable temperature
without tearing, shoving, or gouging and which produces a finished surface of the
evenness and texture specified. The screed shall be adjustable as to level and shall
have an indicating level attached. Longitudinal and transverse joints shall be made
in a careful manner. Well bonded and sealed joints are required. If necessary to
obtain this result, joints shall be painted with cationic emulsified asphaltic cement.
In making the joint along any adjoining edges such as curb, gutter, or an adjoining
pavement and after the hot mixture is placed by the finished machine, just enough of
the hot material shall be carried back to fill any space left open. This joint shall be
properly “set” up with the back of rake at proper height and level to receive the
maximum compression under rolling. The work of “setting up” this joint shall be
performed always by competent workmen who are capable of making correct, clean,
and neat joints.
Immediately after any course is screeded, and before roller compaction is started,
the surface shall be checked, any inequalities adjusted, all fat, sandy accumulations
from the screed removed by a rake or hoe, and all fat spots in any course removed
and replaced with satisfactory material. Irregularities in alignment and grade along
the outside edge shall also be corrected by the addition or removal of mixture before
the edge is rolled.
In narrow, deep, or irregular sections, intersections, turnouts, or driveways where it is
impractical to spread and finish the mixtures by machine methods, the
CONTRACTOR may used approved spreading equipment or acceptable hand
methods as directed by the ENGINEER OWNER.
When the mixture is to be spread by hand, upon arrival on the work it shall be
dumped upon a steel dump board outside the area on which it is to be spread.
Immediately thereafter it shall be distributed into place by means of hot shovels and
spread with hot rakes in a loose layer of uniform density and correct depth. Tines of
the rakes shall not be less than ½ inch longer than the loose depth of the mixture,
and spaces between tines shall not be less than the maximum diameter of
aggregate particle except that in no case should the spaces be less than 1 inch.
Loads shall not be dumped any faster than can be properly handled by the
shovelers.
The shovelers shall not distribute the dumped load faster than it can be properly
handled by the rakers.
The rakers will not be permitted to stand in the hot mixture while raking it, except
where necessary to correct errors in the first raking. The raking must be carefully
and skillfully done in such a manner that after the first passage of the roller over the
raked mixture, a minimum amount of back patching will be required.
Placing mixtures shall be as continuous as possible and the roller shall pass over the
unprotected edge of the freshly laid mixture only when the laying of this course is to
be discontinued for such intervals of time as to permit the mixture to become chilled.
D.
Joints: Joints between old and new pavements, or between successive days’ work,
shall be carefully made in such a manner as to insure a thorough and continuous
bond between the old and new surfaces. The edge of the previously laid course
shall be cut back to its full depth so as to expose a fresh surface, after which the hot
surface mixture shall be placed in contact with it and raked to a proper depth and
grade. Hot smoothers or tampers shall be carefully used in such a manner as to
heat up the old pavement sufficiently (without burning it) to insure a proper bond.
Before placing mixture against them, all contact surfaces of curbs, gutters, headers,
manholes, etc., shall be painted with a thin uniform coating of cationic emulsified
asphaltic cement.
E.
Compaction of the Mixture: After spreading, the mixture shall be thoroughly and
uniformly compressed by a power-driven roller or rollers, weighing not less than 8
tons, as soon after being spread as it will bear the roller without undue displacement.
Delays in rolling freshly spread mixture will not be tolerated. Rolling shall start
longitudinally at the sides and shall proceed toward the center of the pavement
overlapping on successive trips by at least ½ the width of a rear wheel. Alternate
trips of the roller shall be of slightly different lengths. If the width of the pavement
permits, it shall, in addition, be rolled at right angles to the center line.
The speed of the roller shall not exceed 3 miles per hour and shall, at all times, be
slow enough to avoid displacements of the hot mixture, and any displacement
occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any other cause,
shall at once be corrected by the use of rakes and of fresh mixture where required.
Rolling shall proceed continuously until all roller marks are eliminated. To prevent
adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened, but
excess water will not be permitted.
The rollers shall be in good condition, capable of reversing without back-lash and
shall weight not less than 200 pounds to the inch of tread. They shall be operated by
competent and experienced rollermen and must be kept in continuous operation as
nearly as practicable in such a manner that all parts of the pavements shall receive
substantially equal compression.
Along curbs, headers, manholes, and similar structures, and all places not
accessible to the roller, thorough compactions must be secured by means of hot
tampers and at all contacts of this character, the joints between these structures and
the surface mixture must be effectively sealed.
The course, after final compaction, shall conform to the following requirements:
It shall be smooth and true to the established crown and grade. It shall have the
average thickness specified and shall at no point vary more than ¼ inch from the
thickness shown on the typical cross-section in the Plans. Any low or defective
places shall immediately be remedied by cutting out the course at such spots and
replacing it with fresh, hot mixture which shall be immediately compacted to conform
with the surrounding area and shall be free from depressions exceeding ¼-inch as
measured with a 10-foot straightedge paralleling the centerline of the roadway.
After final compaction, the finished surface course shall at no point have a density
less than 92% of the maximum density possible to be obtained in a voidless
pavement composed of the same materials in like proportions. Density shall be
determined from specimens cut from the finished pavement as directed by the
ENGINEER OWNER.
3.04
TEMPORARY ASPHALT COLD-PATCH
In the event the CONTRACTOR cannot install hot bituminous pavement, for whatever
reason, pursuant to the requirements of these documents, he shall install a temporary

3.04
FORMED METHOD
A.
The vertical face of previously sawed and adjacent asphalt pavement may NOT be
used as a forming surface. The CONTRACTOR shall use forms on front and back of
all curb and gutter, sidewalks and crosspans.
The forms shall be of metal or other suitable material that is straight and free from
warp, having sufficient strength to resist the pressure of the concrete without
displacement and sufficient tightness to prevent the leakage of mortar. Flexible or rigid
forms of proper curvature may be used for curves having a radius of 100 feet or less.
Division plates shall be metal. Where directed by the ENGINEER OWNER the
CONTRACTOR shall use a thin metal back form to preserve landscaping, sprinklers,
etc. Form must be straight and rigid and must be approved by the ENGINEER
OWNER prior to use on project.
The front and back forms shall extend for the full depth of the concrete. All of the
forms shall be braced and staked so that they remain in both horizontal and vertical
alignment until their removal. No wooden stakes will be allowed. They shall be
cleaned and coated with an approved form-release agent before concrete is placed
against them. The concrete shall be deposited into the forms without segregation and
then it shall be tamped and spaded or mechanically vibrated for thorough
consolidation. Low roll or mountable curbs may be formed without the use of a face
form by using a straight edge and template to form the curb face. When used, face
forms shall be removed as soon as possible to permit finishing. Front and back forms
shall be removed without damage to the concrete after it has set.
Should the removal of adjacent asphalt pavement be required beyond that shown in
the asphalt patch detail to properly correct failed concrete sections, the
CONTRACTOR shall remove and replace said asphalt pavement to such an extent as
to provide a smooth repair. The ENGINEER OWNER shall be notified prior to
commencing any additional asphalt removal.
3.05
FINISHING
A.
3.06
The plastic concrete shall be finished smooth by means of a wood float and then it
shall be given final surface texture using a light broom or burlap drag. Concrete that is
adjacent to forms and formed joints shall be edged with a suitable edging tool to the
dimensions shown on the Drawings.
JOINTING
A.
Contraction Joints: Transverse weakened-plane contraction joints shall be constructed
at right angles to the curb line at intervals not exceeding 10 feet for curb and gutter or
5 feet for sidewalk. Joint depth shall average at least one-fourth of the cross-section of
the concrete.
Contraction joints may be sawed, hand-formed, or made by 1/8 inch thick division
plates in the form work. Sawing shall be done early after the concrete has set to
prevent the formation of uncontrolled cracking. The joints may be hand-formed either
by (1) using a narrow or triangular jointing tool or a thin metal blade to impress a plane
of weakness into the plastic concrete, or (2) inserting 1/8 inch thick steel strips into the
plastic concrete temporarily. Steel strips shall be withdrawn before final finishing of the
concrete. Where division plates are used to make contraction joints, the plates shall
be removed after the concrete has set and while the forms are still in place.
B.
Expansion Joints: Expansion joints shall be constructed at right angles to the curb line
at immovable structures and at points of curvature for short radius curves. Filler
material for expansion joints shall conform to requirements of one or more of the
references defined in Section 1.03 and shall be furnished in a single 1/2 inch thick
piece for the full depth and width of the joint.
Expansion joints in a slip formed curb or curb-and-gutter shall be constructed with an
appropriate hand tool by raking or sawing through partially set concrete for the full
depth and width of the section. The cut shall be only wide enough to permit a snug fit
for the joint filler. After the filler is placed, open areas adjacent to the filler shall be filled
with concrete and then troweled and edged. The CONTRACTOR may choose to
place the filler and pour the concrete around it.
Alternately, an expansion joint may be installed by removing a short section of freshly
extruded curb-and-gutter immediately, installing temporary holding forms, placing the
expansion joint filler, and replacing and reconsolidating the concrete that was removed.
Contaminated concrete shall be discarded.
Construction joints may be either butt or expansion-type joints. Curbs or combined
curbs and gutters constructed adjacent to existing concrete shall have the same type
of joints as in the existing concrete, with similar spacing; however, contraction joint
spacing shall not exceed 10 feet.
3.07
PROTECTION
A.
The CONTRACTOR shall always have materials available to protect the surface of the
plastic concrete against rain. These materials shall consist of waterproof paper or
plastic sheeting. For slip form construction, materials such as wood planks or forms to
protect the edges shall also be required. Concrete damaged by rain shall be required
to be removed and replaced at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
Concrete being placed in cold weather during which the temperature may be expected
to drop below 35 degrees F., shall be suitably protected to keep the concrete from
freezing until it is at least 10 days old. Concrete injured by frost action shall be required
to be removed and replaced at the CONTRACTOR’s expense.
The CONTRACTOR will be responsible for correcting any vandalism or defacement
(graffiti) that occurs on the concrete prior to final acceptance.
3.08
CURING
A.
Concrete shall be cured for at least 7 days after placement to protect against loss of
moisture, rapid temperature change, and mechanical injury prior to any overlay or
reconstruction work. Moist burlap, waterproof paper, white polyethylene sheeting, white liquid
membrane compound, or a combination thereof may be used as the curing material.
Membrane curing shall not be permitted in frost-affected areas when the concrete will be
exposed to deicing chemicals within 30 days after completion of the curing period.
3.09
BACKFILLING
A.
3.10
The spaces in front and back of curbs shall be refilled with suitable material to the
required elevations after the concrete has set sufficiently. The fill material shall be
thoroughly tamped in layers.
SEALING
A.
Where required, concrete shall be sealed with a mixture of 1/2 linseed oil and 1/2
diesel fuel, unless otherwise specified by ENGINEER OWNER.
3.11
TOLERANCE
A.
Forms shall not deviate from true line by more than ¼-inch at any point.
B.
Mixed concrete shall be not less than 50°F, nor more than 80°F at the time of placing it
in forms unless otherwise directed.
C.
If air temperature is 35°F or less at the time of placing, the ENGINEER OWNER will
require water and/or aggregate heated to not less than 70°F, or more than 150°F.
D.
Finished joints shall not deviate more than ¼-inch in the horizontal alignment from a
straight line.
E.
Any localized humps and or depressions greater than ¼-inch will require removal and
replacement of the work in question.
F.
No ponding of water greater than 3/8-inch shall be allowed.
G.
Combination curb, gutter and walk and/or vertical curb and gutter flowline depth shall
not vary from adopted standards by more than +1/2-inch, measured vertically from the
top of curb to the gutter invert.
H.
Pedestrian walks shall have a minimum of 2.0% and a maximum of 2.5% slope toward
the roadway.
I.
Contraction and construction joints shall be placed at the standard spacing of 10 feet in
curb, gutter, sidewalks, crosspans, trickle channel, etc. A minimum spacing of 5 feet
will be allowed for repairs.
J.
Heave or settlement of sidewalk, relative to separate curb pour, greater than ½-inch
shall be cause for corrective action. This provision shall not apply to transverse
sidewalk joints.
K.
At the time of final acceptance inspection, the repair of all cracks will be completed.
1.
Cracks that are less than ¼-inch wide, exhibit no horizontal or vertical shifting,
and do not meet the conditions in 2, 3, and 4 below may, at the discretion of
the OWNER, be sealed by routing approximately ¾-inch to 1-inch deep by ¼inch wide and filling with Sikaflex 1-A or equivalent.
2.
Any crack that extends through a joint shall require removal and replacement
of the entire cracked area.
3.
Any longitudinal cracked section of concrete will require complete removal and
replacement of that section between joints.
4.
Repair action for hairline cracks as determined in 1 above may be waived at
the discretion of the OWNER. For the purpose of this section, a hairline crack
is one that is reasonably immeasurable and without separation as determined
by the ENGINEER OWNER.
