Section C - DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATIONS / STATEMENT OF WORK

C.1 Statement of Work

The Contractor shall furnish all equipment, and personnel necessary to repair sections of the road. The Contractor shall furnish all materials to complete the project.

Work includes: remove and stockpile aggregate base and rip rap, prepare surface of identified damaged areas, backfill damaged areas with aggregate base or rip rap where needed and compact, recondition and grade roadway, recondition rolling dips, place cold patch where needed to existing AC surface and compact, uniformly apply asphalt chip-seal, and install object markers for traffic control.

The Contractor shall be responsible for providing all labor, tools, material, and equipment necessary to perform all work in strict accordance with the specifications, drawings and industry standards. Payment for contract work will be made only for and under those pay items included in the Schedule of Items. All other work and materials will be considered incidental to and included in the payment for the items shown.

Specific Requirements for the Base and/or Option Items are:

• Recondition roadway by removing irregularities and shape to a uniform surface.

• Reshape rolling dips to the width and slopes shown in the plans.

• Backfill aggregate base on roadway to shape, compact, and finish the surface to the required lines, grade, elevation, and cross section.

• Prepare a smooth surface for placed rip rap to form a well-graded mass.

• Place or rearrange rip rap by mechanical or hand methods to obtain a dense uniform blanket with a reasonably smooth surface.

• Apply roadway aggregate base where needed on the AC pavement and compacting.

• Placing, shaping, and compacting cold patch to produce a surface that is smooth, dense and free of ruts, ridges, and loose material.

• Apply asphalt and aggregate uniformly at the optimum application rate determined from pre-chip seal preparatory phase.

• Correct excesses and deficiencies by adding or removing aggregate to achieve a uniform texture before the asphalt cures.

• Roll the surface to uniformly and thoroughly bond the aggregate over the full width of the roadway.

• Traffic control for public access and administrative travel. (See C.6-H Traffic Control Plan below)
