PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXISTING FACILITIES TO BE REMOVED

Remove existing construction as indicated.

3.2 DISPOSITION OF MATERIAL

3.2.1 Title to Materials

Title to materials resulting from demolition, and materials and equipment to be removed, is vested in the Contractor upon approval by the Contracting Officer of the Contractor's demolition and removal procedures, and authorization by the Contracting Officer to begin demolition.

3.3 CLEANUP

3.3.1 Debris and Rubbish

Remove and transport debris and rubbish in a manner that will prevent spillage on pavements, streets or adjacent areas. Clean up spillage from pavements, streets and adjacent areas.

3.4 COLD MILLING

This work consists of removal of pavement materials on the roadway by cold milling to the designated depth and, loading, hauling, and disposal of the milled materials by the Contractor in accordance with the plans and specifications, or as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The milled surface shall provide a desirable surface free from gouges, continuous grooves, ridges, oil film, and other imperfections

SECTION 02 41 00 Page 4 of workmanship and shall have a uniform appearance.

3.4.1 Equipment

The equipment to be used for this work shall be a self-propelled milling machine capable of removing a minimum width of four feet. The equipment shall have sufficient power, traction, and stability to remove material and maintain an accurate grade and cross slope. The equipment shall be capable of accurately and automatically establishing profile grades along each edge of the machine by referencing from the existing pavement with means of an approved profile averaging device with extreme contact points with surface at least 30 feet apart, or from an independent grade line and shall have an automatic system for controlling cross slope. The machine shall be equipped with an integral loading and reclaiming means to immediately remove material being cut from the surface and discharge the cuttings into a truck, all in one operation.

Adequate back-up equipment, such as mechanical sweepers, loaders, water truck, etc., and personnel shall be provided to insure that all cuttings are removed behind the milling machine.

3.4.2 Construction Methods

On the roadway, when hot mix asphalt will be required on the milled area, milling operations shall not begin until the Contractor has an approved job-mix formula and is prepared to begin paving operations. The milled roadway shall be covered by placing the first required course within 15 calendar days after milling.

The pavement and shoulder materials shall be removed to the depth, width, grade, and cross section shown on the plans, or as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative. The number of passes necessary to accomplish the work required herein and on the plans shall be determined by the Contractor.

The surface of the pavement, after milling, shall be reasonably smooth and true to the established line, grade and cross section. Areas damaged by the Contractor's operations shall be corrected and/or repaired as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative at no additional costs to the Government. The Contractor shall take necessary action to prevent or minimize the ponding of water on the milled roadway and shoulder.

Where traffic is required to be maintained adjacent to the milled area, no more than a 2-1/4 inches differential in grade between the milled area and the adjacent surface will be allowed, unless a positive separation in accordance with the plans and specifications is established between the traffic and milled area.

A longitudinal pavement edge that traffic is expected to move across should have an elevation difference of not more than 2-1/4 inches. If the pavement edge is more

SECTION 02 41 00 Page 5 than1-1/2 inches and less than or equal to 2-1/4 inches, uneven pavement signs will be required as shown in the plans, or contract documents. If the pavement edge is less than or equal to 1-1/2 inches, no uneven pavement signs will be required. Transverse pavement joints shall be sufficiently tapered to allow for the safe movement of traffic.

When traffic is required to be maintained adjacent to milled surfaces, traffic control devices shall be provided as directed by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.

It is understood that the milled surfaces shall be covered with the next required course as soon as possible but in no case later than 15 calendar days after milling.
