SECTION 811 – SURFACE MAINTENANCE

811.01

SERVICE REQUIRED:

Smooth and shape native or aggregate surfaced roads including traveled way, shoulders, turnouts and intersections. Surface maintenance includes reshaping the crown or slope of traveled way, berms, and drainage dips. Scarification, compaction, or both may be required when shown on the ROAD LISTING.

811.02

PERFORMANCE STANDARD:

Primary and Secondary Roads

A road surface is maintained to standard when the travel way is free of washboards, potholes, or other irregularities. Scarification to facilitate cutting potholes or other irregularities shall be required. The surface is smooth, and compact, crowned or sloped to drain, without segregation of the surfacing materials. Suitable materials have been recovered and incorporated. Crowned or in sloped road surfaces allow water to flow directly into ditches. Shoulders beyond the edges of the traveled way and turnouts have been shaped to allow drainage off and away from the road surface. Unsuitable materials have been removed from the traveled way and shoulders, placed outside the roadbed without concentrations and without obstructing drainage ways or structures.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, unsuitable materials have been hauled and placed in designated disposal areas.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, water has been hauled and incorporated into the surfacing material to reduce segregation and/or to improve required compaction.

When specified in the ROAD LISTING, aggregate surfacing has been roller compacted following final shaping so that no visual displacement occurs from hauling or spreading equipment.

Shoulders along paved roads are maintained to standard when unsuitable material (soil, moss, gravel, and other debris) has been removed from paved surfaces within 3-feet of pavement edges on both sides of the road. Unpaved shoulders adjacent to paved surfaces have been maintained and shaped to provide a smooth transition from the paved surface and to allow drainage off and away from the road surface or into ditches.

Shoulders without ditches are shaped for a minimum of 2-feet, up to 6-feet, from the pavement edge as necessary for drainage. Unsuitable materials have been removed from the shoulders. All unsuitable materials removed from paved surfaces and shoulders have been placed outside the roadbed without concentrations, without obstructing drainage ways or structures, and are not located where erosion can allow sediment delivery to streams. When specified in the ROAD LISTING, unsuitable materials have been hauled and placed in designated disposal areas.

811.03

LOCATION OF WORK:

As specified on roads listed on the ROAD LISTING, SHOWN ON THE PLANS, OR as ordered by the Contracting Officer.

811.04

MEASUREMENT:

Measurement under this Section will be made by the total number of units for each item in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS completed and accepted.

A. Single Lane Roads: Surface maintenance will be measured along the centerline of the roadway. Turnouts are incidental. Measurement will be to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01) mile.

B. Double Lane Roads: Surface maintenance will be measured along the centerline of the roadway. Measurement will be to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01) mile.

C. Road Mile: Work activity will be measured along the centerline of the road regardless of the number of lanes.

811.05

PAYMENT:

A. The accepted quantities will be paid at the contract price per unit of measurement for the Section 811 pay items listed in the schedule of items. Payment will be full compensation for the work prescribed in this Section, except payment for hauling and placing of materials will be paid under Section 832 and hauling and spreading of water will be paid under Section 891.

814.F1(01)

Repair of pavement surfaces.

814.F1(02)

This work is complete when specified pavement potholes and surface irregularities are repaired using full depth patches or skin patches. Furnish Hot Asphalt Pavement Mix, ODOT Spec. 3/8” Dense Gradation, Level II HMAC, Asphalt Grade PG 64-22, as approved by the CO.

Pothole Patching:

1. Remove material to a minimum depth of 4 inches, or as necessary to reach firm support. If firm support for a patch is unavailable, notify the CO prior to placing any material.

2. Saw cut edges of the prepared hole to form a vertical face in un-fractured asphalt surfacing. Make the prepared hole rectangular, and clean it of all loose material. When the hole is dry, apply emulsified asphalt tack coat faces of the hole.

Barricade prepared sites if patching is not performed prior to allowing traffic through the site.

3. Place the asphalt concrete mixture in layers not exceeding 4 inches. Thoroughly compact each layer with mechanical tampers or rollers. For hot asphalt concrete mixtures, compact the mix while it is above 230 °F.

4. Compact the finished surface with an approved steel-wheel roller, as approved by the CO. Ensure that the compacted patch is approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inches above the level of the adjacent pavement.

5. Seal the edges of the completed patch with emulsified asphalt, and blot with fine sand. The CO will approve the exact application rate, temperature, and area to be treated before application and may make adjustments for variations in field conditions.

6. Disposal of asphalt concrete materials removed from pothole patching operations shall be removed from National Forest lands and disposed of in a legal manner. Disposal of asphalt concrete is considered to be incidental to Pothole Patching.

Skin Patching:

1. Clean the existing surface of all loose material, dirt, or other deleterious substances by approved methods. Apply asphalt tack coat on a dry, unfrozen surface when the air temperature in the shade is above 35 ºF and rising.

2. Where using slow-setting emulsified asphalt, dilute by adding an equal amount of water to the emulsified asphalt. Apply the asphalt at a rate of 0.03 to 0.15 gallons per square yard. Apply the tack coat uniformly and completely by fogging with a hand spray attachment or by another approved method. If excess asphalt material is applied, squeegee the excess from the surface.

3. Allow the tacked surfaces to completely cure before placing the covering course. Place the covering course within 4 hours of placing the tack coat. Place the asphalt concrete mixture as shown in #3, #4 and #5, Pothole Patching.
