Section 409.05 Micro Surfacing Equipment allows for truck mounted and continuous machines for placement of Type 3 Micro Surfacing. With the project having over 40 miles of continuous roadways in an effort to mitigate the transverse joints which would be in excess of 400 if truck mounted units were allowed would it not be in the best interest of the FHWA to specify a continuous run machine for the Type 3 Micro Surfacing. Previous projects such as CA NPS YOSE 2018 (1) Pavement Preservation Yosemite required it on a similar project

At this time, we will not be modifying the requirements of Subsection 409.05. Bid accordingly.
