PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Verify that base is dry and in suitable condition to support paving and imposed loads.

B. Proof-roll base using heavy, pneumatic-tired rollers to locate areas that are unstable or that require further compaction.

C. Proceed with paving only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 SURFACE PREPARATION

A. General: Immediately before placing asphalt materials, remove loose and deleterious material from substrate surfaces. Ensure that prepared base is ready to receive paving.

1. Remove existing above- and below-grade improvements as indicated and as necessary to facilitate new constriction.

2. Remove slabs, paving, curbs, gutters, and aggregate base as indicated.

a. Unless existing full depth joints coincide with line of demolition, neatly saw-cut length of existing pavement, walk or curb to remain before removing existing pavement, walk or curb. Saw cut faces vertically.

b. Paint cut ends of steel reinforcement in concrete to remain to prevent corrosion.

3. Sweep loose granular particles from surface of unbound-aggregate base course. Do not dislodge or disturb aggregate embedded in compacted surface of base course.

4. Clean existing pavement of all granular material, vegetation, and soil materials from edge to edge before overlaying.

5. Fill all cracks and joints in existing pavement as detailed in IDOT Specification Section 406.05.

02741 - 5

6. Prepare sub-base as required by Contractor’s Independent Third Party Testing Agency to receive asphalt pavement. If testing agency reports that subgrades are not acceptable, scarify and moisten or aerate; recompact and retest until compaction required by testing agency is achieved. Testing agency shall provide Government with recommendation where deviations from Specifications occur or conditions are considered undesirable.

B. Prime Coat: Apply uniformly to paved surfaces at a rate of 0.05 to 0.10 gal/sq. yd, and a rate of 0.25 to 0.50 gal/sq. yd for aggregate base surfaces.

1. Allow tack coat to cure undisturbed before applying hot-mix asphalt paving.

2. Avoid smearing or staining adjoining surfaces, appurtenances, and surroundings. Remove spillages and clean affected surfaces.

3.3 HOT-MIX ASPHALT PLACING

A. Machine place hot-mix asphalt on prepared surface, spread uniformly, and strike off. Place asphalt mix by hand to areas inaccessible to equipment in a manner that prevents segregation of mix. Place each course to required grade, and thickness when compacted.

1. Place hot-mix asphalt base course in number of lifts and thicknesses indicated.

2. Place hot-mix asphalt surface course in single lift.

3. Spread mix at minimum temperature of 250 deg F.

4. Regulate paver machine speed to obtain smooth, continuous surface free of pulls and tears in asphalt-paving mat.

B. Promptly correct surface irregularities in paving course behind paver. Use suitable hand tools to remove excess material forming high spots. Fill depressions with hot-mix asphalt to prevent segregation of mix; use suitable hand tools to smooth surface.

3.4 JOINTS

A. Construct joints to ensure a continuous bond between adjoining paving sections. Construct joints free of

02741 - 6 depressions with same texture and smoothness as other sections of hot-mix asphalt course.

1. Clean contact surfaces and apply tack coat to joints.

2. Offset longitudinal joints, in successive courses, a minimum of 6 inches.

3. Offset transverse joints, in successive courses, a minimum of 24 inches.

4. Compact joints as soon as hot-mix asphalt will bear roller weight without excessive displacement.

3.5 COMPACTION

A. General: Begin compaction as soon as placed hot-mix paving will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. Compact hot-mix paving with hot, hand tampers or vibratory-plate compactors in areas inaccessible to rollers.

1. Complete compaction before mix temperature cools to 185 deg F.

B. Breakdown Rolling: Complete breakdown or initial rolling immediately after rolling joints and outside edge.

Examine surface immediately after breakdown rolling for indicated crown, grade, and smoothness. Correct laydown and rolling operations to comply with requirements.

C. Intermediate Rolling: Begin intermediate rolling immediately after breakdown rolling while hot-mix asphalt is still hot enough to achieve specified density.

Continue rolling until hot-mix asphalt course has been uniformly compacted to the density requirements indicated in IDOT Specification 1030.

D. Finish Rolling: Finish roll paved surfaces to remove roller marks while hot-mix asphalt is still warm.

E. Edge Shaping: While surface is being compacted and finished, trim edges of pavement to proper alignment.

Bevel edges while asphalt is still hot; compact thoroughly.

F. Repairs: Remove paved areas that are defective or contaminated with foreign materials and replace with fresh, hot-mix asphalt. Compact by rolling to specified density and surface smoothness.

02741 - 7

G. Protection: After final rolling, do not permit vehicular traffic on pavement until it has cooled and hardened.

H. Erect barricades to protect paving from traffic until mixture has cooled enough not to become marked.

3.6 INSTALLATION TOLERANCES

A. Thickness: Compact each course to produce the thickness indicated within the following tolerances:

1. Base Course: Minus 1/2 inch, no plus.

2. Surface Course: Minus 1/4 inch, no plus.

B. Surface Smoothness: Compact each course to produce a surface smoothness within the following tolerances as determined by using a 10-foot straightedge applied transversely or longitudinally to paved areas:

1. Base Course: 1/4 inch.

2. Surface Course: 1/8 inch.

3.7 PAVEMENT MARKING

A. See IDOT Specifications Section 780. The method of measurement and basis of payment portions do not apply.

B. Do not apply pavement-marking paint until layout, colors, and placement have been verified with the Government.

C. Allow paving to age for 10 days before starting pavement marking.

D. Sweep and clean surface to eliminate loose material and dust.

E. Apply paint with mechanical equipment to produce pavement markings, of dimensions indicated, with uniform, straight edges. Apply at manufacturer's recommended rates to provide a minimum wet film thickness of 15 mils.

F. Typical pavement striping width for all parking lots is 4”.

G. Do not apply glass beads to pavement markings on this project.

3.8 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. Testing Agency: Contractor must engage a qualified independent testing and inspecting agency to perform field tests and inspections and to prepare test reports.

Provide testing agency’s qualifications to Government prior to start of construction.

1. Testing agency will conduct and interpret tests and state in each report whether tested Work complies with or deviates from specified requirements.

B. Additional testing and inspecting, at Contractor's expense, will be performed to determine compliance of replaced or additional work with specified requirements.

C. Contractor Independent Third Party Testing Agency shall inspect and test the subbase as necessary to document that sub-base is adequate to receive asphalt pavement. A report of said testing/inspection shall be provided to the

COR.

D. Thickness: In-place compacted thickness of hot-mix asphalt courses will be determined according to

ASTM D 3549.

E. In-Place Density: Testing agency must take samples of uncompacted paving mixtures and compacted pavement according to ASTM D 979 or AASHTO T 168.

1. Reference maximum theoretical density will be determined by averaging results from four samples of hot-mix asphalt-paving mixture delivered daily to site, prepared according to ASTM D 2041, and compacted according to job-mix specifications.

2. In-place density of compacted pavement will be determined by testing core samples according to ASTM D 1188 or ASTM D 2726.

a. One core sample will be taken for every 8,000 sq.

yd. or less of installed pavement, with no fewer than 3 cores taken for each day of paving.

b. Field density of in-place compacted pavement may also be determined by nuclear method according to ASTM D 2950 and correlated with ASTM D 1188 or

ASTM D 2726.

02741 - 9

F. Remove and replace or install additional hot-mix asphalt where test results or measurements indicate that it does not comply with specified requirements.

G. Replace and compact hot-mix asphalt where core tests were taken.

H. Provide Government copies of all Testing Reports within one week of the completion of tests.

3.9 DISPOSAL

A. Remove excavated materials from Project site and comply with all Federal, State, County, and local laws and regulations when removing, transporting, and disposing surplus soil material, unsuitable topsoil, obstructions, demolished materials including trash and debris off Government’s property.
