Clarification question regarding the full depth of reclamation. On sheet C.1, the typical section shows the full depth reclamation including the
2" crushed aggregate. Does the 2" aggregate get placed prior to the pulverization so that its mixed in or is it meant to be placed after the
Pulverization?
The 2-inch Crushed Aggregate layer should be placed and spread upon the existing roadway prior to pulverization. The intent is for the new aggregate to be incorporated into the pulverized asphalt and subbase material during the reclamation process to create a homogenous, stabilized base section of the specified 6-inch depth. Please note that payment for the crushed aggregate is incidental to Pay Item Number
"30402-5300 - FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION,
METHOD 2, 6-INCH DEPTH," per Section
304 of the Special Contract Requirements
(SCRs) and the Standard Specifications for
Construction of Roads and Bridges on
Federal Highway Projects FP-14 Manual.
