3.2.4. Bituminous Surface Treatment

The parking shall receive an overlay of bituminous surface treatment as indicated. Prior to the overlay, the existing asphalt shall be cleaned from dirt and debris and be coated with a bituminous tack coat as described above. No water shall be present prior to placement of overlay. Bituminous surface treatment shall be placed in accordance with the applicable requirements of PENNDOT PUB 408. The bituminous overlay shall be applied in a manner so that uniform distribution is obtained over all the areas treated. Compaction and rolling equipment shall follow as closely behind the paving machine as possible.

Areas inaccessible to rollers shall be compacted by mechanical vibratory tampers. Compaction shall continue until no marks or tracks are left from the compaction or rolling equipment. The bituminous surface treatment shall be constructed in one compacted lift equal to a minimum of 2 inches in thickness. Unless otherwise directed, the bituminous surface treatment overlay shall not be placed when temperature of the surface of the existing pavement is below 40 degrees F.

3.2.5. Thickness Control

As the bituminous layers is placed, the Contractor shall monitor the thickness to verify conformance with the design thicknesses. The thickness of the asphalt concrete wearing course shall be measured at intervals of no less than 25 linear feet along the centerline of the roadway or parking lot. The total measured thickness of the overlay shall be within +/- 1/4-inch of their total combined design thickness. The overlay areas that do not comply with the minimum thickness shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor. Such areas shall be corrected by removing the bituminous surface treatment to its full thickness and placing and compacting additional new overlay to the proper design thicknesses. No additional payment will be made for areas that receive additional thickness of bituminous surface treatment.

3.2.6. Existing Paving Interface

Where the new bituminous surface treatment pavement meets the existing pavement a straight, smooth sawcut joint shall be constructed. The surfaces of the existing pavement at the interface shall be cleaned of all loose material and dirt and treated with a bituminous tack coat at the residual rates specified in Section 2. Joints between old and new pavement shall be made in accordance with the applicable requirements of PA DOT specifications.

The hot-applied asphalt sealant shall be applied along each joint between the new and existing pavement sections for a minimum width of six inches on each side of the joint.

3.2.7. Pavement Markings

The Contractor shall develop a Parking Bumper Line Striping Plan, for ACO approval. The layout and spacing of the parking lot stall markings, and parking bumpers (quantity 45) shall match the existing layout. The visitors parking lot shall be remarked with parking lot stall markings according to the approved plan. The existing bumpers shall be removed and disposed of. New rubberized parking bumpers shall be procured and placed at existing parking bumper locations. The Contractor shall clean all visible loose or foreign material from the surface to be marked. The lines for the parking lot stall marking shall be continuous 4-inch wide white stripes. Paint shall be applied to clean, dry surfaces, and only when air and pavement temperatures are above 40 degrees F and less than 95 degrees F, or as otherwise specified by the manufacturer.

The Major definable features of work for this contract List the Major definable features of work for this contract.

Also list any test that may be required to be performed for each definable feature of work.

A definable feature of work is a task which is separate and distinct from other tasks, has separate control requirements, and may be identified by different trades or disciplines, or it may be work by the same trade in a different environment. Although each section of the specifications may generally be considered as a definable feature of work, there are frequently more than one definable feature under a particular section. This list will be agreed upon during the coordination meeting.

5. 3-Phase Control Inspections The Contractor Quality Control System Manager (CQC-SM) Name of the (QCSM) Person, will conduct a minimum of three phases of control for each definable feature of work to ensure that the construction, including sub-contractors and suppliers complies with the requirements of the contract. The three phases of control are:

Preparatory Phase Initial Phase Follow Up Phase

Three Phase Control Inspections will be tracked by the CQC-SM on the Three Phase Inspection Checklist included in the Attachments Section of this Plan.

Preparatory Phase Inspection After all required plans, documents and materials are approved and before work begins on each definable feature of work, a Preparatory Phase Inspection will be performed. The CQC-SM will conduct a meeting attended by the Contracting Officer, project superintendent, other QC personnel (as applicable), subcontractors, and the foreman responsible for the definable feature. The results of the preparatory phase actions will be documented by separate minutes prepared by the CQC-SM and attached to the Daily QC Report. The superintendent and/or foreman responsible for the work will instruct applicable workers as to the acceptable level of workmanship required in order to meet contract specifications.

The CQC-SM will prepare a Preparatory Inspection Checklist (see sample in Attachments Section of this plan) and submit it for approval to the Contracting Officer before any Preparatory Inspection Meetings.
