Thursday, December 30, 2027 Contractor's Optional Lane Closure

For all travel lanes, ramps, or connector closures, provide information regarding dates, times, typical work hours, type of closure, reason for closure, and expected project duration to the Orange Area Office. This information will be provided 7 days in advance of the closure to the Orange Area Office. If approved, the Orange Area Office will forward the information to the Public Information Officer for the Beaumont District.

Night work will not be allowed.

Maintain one lane open to traffic during construction, unless otherwise approved.

Limit lane closures to 1 mile unless otherwise approved.

The Contractor will be expected to schedule this work so that the base placement operations will follow the subgrade work as closely as practical in order to reduce the hazard to the traveling public and prevent undue delay from wet weather.

All edges must be backfilled by the end of the day with a 3:1 or flatter slope. No drop offs will be left overnight.

Submit a work schedule to the Engineer at the preconstruction meeting indicating completion dates for each location, and the number of crews required for the completion of the contract within the contract time period. If at any time during the contract the work progress is behind the initial schedule, submit documentation indicating how the project will be accelerated to ensure project completion in the remaining contract time.

Provide a sequence of work with an estimated project schedule to the Engineer at the preconstruction meeting.

By noon of each Wednesday, provide the Engineer a written outline of the proposed work schedule for the following week. This outline will also list the times and places for any proposed traffic control changes.

For this project, create and maintain the critical path method (CPM) schedule.

Work will not be permitted when impending bad weather or low temperatures may impair the quality of work.

Where road closures or detours around structures are necessary to accomplish proposed work, the removal of existing structures and/or cutting of existing pavement will not be permitted until all pre-cast members for the proposed structure have been cast, tested and approved for use.

HURRICANE

In the event of the declaration of a hurricane watch, warning, other severe weather warning or national or state emergency that requires the roadways in the vicinity be used as evacuation routes, General Notes Sheet F cease all work that requires the Contractor’s, sub-contractors’ or material suppliers’ vehicles to enter the stream of traffic on these primary or secondary evacuation routes. This work includes material hauling and delivery, and mobilization or demobilization of equipment.

2. Plasticity Index – 21 maximum, 8 minimum

3. A cohesionless sand will not be permitted

Item 134 Backfilling Pavement Edges

Embankment quantity by station includes both sides of the roadway. No deduction in payment will be made when in the opinion of the Engineer only one side of a roadbed section requires backfilling.

As base is placed, backfill the pavement edges daily so that no drop-off conditions exist. Type A or B material will meet one of the following requirements:

1. Item 132, Type C

2. Use material from subgrade widening for backfilling pavement edges.

Item 164 Seeding for Erosion Control

Final grading and stabilization (seeding) will be achieved as soon as possible and not scheduled only for the end of the project. Final grading and stabilization should be initiated as the overall work progresses.

Multiple mobilizations of the seeding crews will be expected to comply with the Construction General Permit of the Texas Pollution Elimination Discharge System requirements for re- vegetating disturbed soils.

Item 168 Vegetative Watering

Equip water trucks with sprinkler systems capable of covering the entire area to be seeded or sodded from the roadway.

General Notes Sheet H

Mechanical watering may not be required during periods of adequate moisture as determined.

Furnish and apply water at a rate of 6.788 Thousand Gallons per acre per cycle or as directed on the plans.

Comply with stabilization requirements for 70% grass coverage; uniform vegetative coverage is required. During this period, meter and operate water equipment under pumping pressure capable of delivering the required quantities of water necessary. For Permanent seeding each cycle will be executed weekly for 12 weeks, unless directed otherwise. For Temporary seeding each cycle will be executed weekly for 6 weeks, unless directed otherwise.

OCST placed June through September 15 – Three (3) Day Cure.

OCST placed all other times – Seven (7) Day Cure.

General Notes Sheet I

The Area Engineer may reduce the cure time based on atmospheric conditions such as consecutive high ambient temperature, less humidity, and low rain fall amounts.

Seal intersections and driveways before sealing the main lanes. Seal all existing roadway surfaces, including extra widths, crossovers, roadside parks, picnic areas, mailbox turnouts, public road intersections, and public drives, within the limits of each project. Do not seal intersections or driveways surfaced with ACP or constructed of concrete.

Sweep all roadways with a powered rotary broom before placement of the surface treatment to remove all loose or excess material or debris. After rolling, sweep as soon as aggregate has sufficiently bonded to remove excess.

Use a vacuum broom on all roadway sections with curb and gutter and all roadway sections within the city limits of any city.

General Notes Sheet K

For the Laboratory area the work performed, materials furnished, utilities, and utility services (including phone and internet), appurtenances including office equipment testing equipment, labor, tools, and incidentals will not be paid measured or paid for directly but will be subsidiary to pertinent items.

Use aggregate that meets the SAC requirement of class A for all surface mixes.

Remove all vegetation from pavement edges, intersections, curbs and gutters and driveways before planning or ACP operations. This work will not be paid for directly but will be subsidiary to the various bid items.

Operate the spreading and finishing machine at a uniform forward speed consistent with the plant production rate, hauling capability, and roller train capacity to result in a continuous operation. The speed will be slow enough, so that stopping between trucks is not ordinarily required. If the Engineer determines sporadic delivery of material is adversely affecting the HMA placement, the Engineer may require paving operations to cease until acceptable methods are employed to minimize starting and stopping of the paver.

A material transfer device (MTD) will be required for all surface courses of HMA on this project. An MTD is defined as a self-propelled, wheel-mounted vehicle capable of receiving HMA from the haul trucks separate from the paver. The MTD will have a minimum storage capacity of approximately 25 tons and will be equipped with a pivoting discharge conveyor and a means of completely remixing the HMA before placement. The Engineer may approve an alternative device on a trial basis for the surface course. This device will be capable of receiving HMA separate from the paver and must have remixing capabilities. For all other courses of HMA, other than the surface, an alternative device may be used as long as it is capable of receiving HMA separate from the paver.

Station limits may be adjusted as directed to meet varying field conditions

Item 351 Flexible Pavement Structure Repair
