· Provide a 4 inch aggregate base course (Group II Aggregate, Georgia DOT specs use asphalt millings if fine enough)

· Provide a 2 inch aggregate surfacing course (Gradation #5, Georgia DOT specifications)

· Provide a Superpave Hot asphalt pavement mix design capable of handling the loading, stresses and strains associated with a parking facility adjacent to a boat ramp

· Provide a top layer 9.5 mm GP2 only (165 lbs/sq yd)

· Provide a second layer a 25 mm GP1 or GP2 (440 lbs/sq yd)

· The new finished grade will replicate the existing grades.
