Work includes:

The purpose of the project is to repair damaged asphalt in four areas; install new asphalt in front of wagon storage building; crack and slurry seal the parking area in front of main building and west pavement areas; crack seal the pavement area on the East side of Storage Building; and remove asphalt under the Storage Building canopy and replace with a new six-inch concrete slab with footings. All paving and construction permits and requirements must be acquired and or met by the contractor. All new construction is to meet current local, state, and federal codes, and all new installed asphalt paving is to meet New Mexico Department of Transportation Specifications.

The contractor is responsible for damage to facilities or equipment during removal and installation operations. Contractor is required to repair damage to a condition such as existed prior to damage.

The oval on the north side of the main ginning laboratory building is approximately 400 square feet in area. The three ovals on the east and south side of the storage building are approximately 380 square feet altogether. It is recommended that contractors verify the locations and dimensions of the areas to be repaired prior to developing their bids.

2. Replace damaged subgrade material and install three-inches of new hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) in all four damaged areas.

3. Sweep the entire parking area on the north side of main ginning laboratory building.

4. Blow out each crack and hot pour joint sealant RoadSaver 222 or equivalent in cracks in entire parking lot north of main ginning laboratory building.

5. Blow out each crack and hot pour joint sealant RoadSaver 222 or equivalent in cracks in paved area east and south of the storage building, as shown by hatching on Figure Part 1.

6. Apply slurry seal over entire parking area, including the repaired asphalt area, north of the main ginning laboratory building. The other paved areas shall not be slurry sealed.

4. Drill into the existing footing on the east side of the storage building to pin the new concrete slab with #4 smooth rebar, four-feet on center, at a depth of six inches into the existing footing and twelve inches into new concrete.

5. Prep and install #4 rebar, twelve-inches on center, in a grid pattern in both directions, of entire pour area.
