Delete and replace with:

Crack seal and fill only when internal pavement temperatures are between 36 and 68 °F the road surface is dry, there is no frost in the road section, and the weather is not foggy or rainy.

Ensure the reservoir and crack are dry and free of dust, dirt and loose materials or deleterious matter adhering to the crack walls or remaining in the crack cavity so that the crack is clean and dry immediately before placing the backer rod, if applicable, and applying the sealant. Use air equipment producing at least 100 CFM and a continuous line pressure of at least 125 PSI. The air must be free of oil and water. Blow or brush dry material off the pavement surface. Avoid damage to the adjacent pavement.

Heat, mix, and apply the crack sealing and filling materials as recommended by the sealant manufacturer. Apply sealant, filling the reservoir flush to the top, using a pressure type applicator. Submit a copy of the manufacture’s recommendations to the CO prior to the start of work.

Route and clean all existing cracks between 1/8” and 1” wide. Route cracks to produce straight ½” vertical walls and a 1 ½” wide flat bottom reservoir. Remove and dispose of the routed material. Place sealant material within 72 hours of routing using a low-modulus rubberized asphalt. Completely fill the routed cross section flush with the pavement surface.

Install backer rod in cracks ¾” or wider or where the sealant penetrates more than two times the crack width for ½” -3/4” cracks.

For cracks with a width greater than or equal to 1 inch designated by the Contracting Officer, clean and fill flush to the existing surface with asphalt mix according to Section 401, 402, 403, 404, or 417.

Prior to chipsealing, repair potholes and damaged shoulders by sawcutting and removing damaged asphalt, recompacting the bedding, and repaving with asphalt mix according to Section 209 and Section 401, 402, 403, 404, or 417 Potholes and damaged shoulder work will be as designated in the following table:

For cracks less than ¼ inch wide, clean and fill with CSS-1, SS-1, or joint sealant. Apply a sealant band of 2” width over the crack, such that the crack is centered under the band. Submit a copy of, and adhere to, the manufacture’s recommendations for heating and applying the joint sealant.

Use approved methods to protect all seal materials from being picked up by traffic. Open the completed work to traffic only when the sealant will not track. Repair or replace all seal work damaged by traffic at Contractor expense. Treat seal material tracked onto the road surface as directed by the CO.
