3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Roadway RecondiƟoning

The Contractor shall:

Blade and shape the traveled way, shoulders, turnouts, and intersecƟons.

Remove potholes, ruts, corrugaƟons, and wash boarding.

Restore roadway geometry consistent with ML-3 standards.

Drainage Requirements:

Restore a minimum 3 percent center crown, unless otherwise directed by the ContracƟng Officer’s RepresentaƟve (COR).

Remove berms created during operaƟons that impede drainage.

Clean and shape lead-off ditches to ensure water exits the roadway prism immediately.

Roadway recondiƟoning is complete when the surface is smooth, compacted, shaped to drain, and free of conƟnuous defects.

3.2 Aggregate Surfacing

Furnish and place approximately 9,100 tons of crushed aggregate surfacing meeƟng FP- 14 Grading C requirements.

Spread aggregate uniformly over the recondiƟoned roadway surface.

CompacƟon:

Moisture-condiƟon aggregate prior to compacƟon.

Compact using CompacƟon Method B with a 7–9 metric ton pneumaƟc, steel, or vibratory roller.

Compact across the full width of the traveled way unƟl no visible evidence of further consolidaƟon is observed.

Finished Surface Requirements:

Minimum 4-inch compacted depth across a 12-foot travel lane.

Aggregate shall not obstruct ditches, culverts, or drainage structures.

3.3 Roadside Brushing and Clearing

Cut and remove woody vegetaƟon within 10 feet of the road shoulder.

Maintain a minimum 14-foot verƟcal clearance above the traveled way.

Dispose of cut material so it does not obstruct drainage features or the roadway.

3.4 Culvert Cleaning, Removal, and InstallaƟon

1. Clean ExisƟng Culverts

Remove sediment, debris, and vegetaƟon to restore drainage funcƟon.

2. Remove ExisƟng Culverts

Remove undersized or damaged culverts as directed by the COR.

3. Install New Upsized Culverts

Furnish and install new corrugated metal pipe (CMP) or HDPE culverts of increased diameter, as specified by the COR.

Install culverts to proper line and grade to ensure posiƟve drainage.

4. Bedding, Backfill, and RestoraƟon

Provide suitable bedding material.

Backfill and compact material in liŌs to prevent seƩlement.

Restore the roadway prism and surfacing to ML-3 standards.

5. Inlet and Outlet Treatment

Shape and armor inlets and outlets to prevent erosion and undermining.

OperaƟon of equipment in live streams is prohibited.

3.5 MobilizaƟon

MobilizaƟon includes the movement of personnel, equipment, and materials necessary to perform the work. MobilizaƟon is complete when all required resources are available at the project site.
