COLD MILLING ASPHALT PAVING

PART 1 GENERAL.

1.1 QUALITY ASSURANCE.

1.1.1 Grade

Mill pavement such that the finished surface conforms to the lines, grades, and cross sections indicated. The maximum allowable deviation of the finished milled pavement surfaces from the established plan grade line and elevation will be 1/4 inch. The deviations from the plan grade line and elevation will not be permitted in areas of pavements where closer conformance with planned grade and elevation is required for the proper functioning of appurtenant structures involved.

1.1.2 Surface Smoothness

The maximum allowable deviation of the finished surfaces from the testing edge in the transverse or longitudinal direction will be 6 mm 1/4 inch.

1.1.3 Traffic Control

Provide all necessary traffic controls during milling operations.

1.2 EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, AND MACHINES.

Maintain in a satisfactory working condition equipment, tools, and machines used in the performance of the work.

1.2.1 Cold-Milling Machine

Provide a cold-milling machine which is self-propelled, capable of milling the pavement to a specified depth and smoothness and of establishing grade control; with means of controlling transverse slope and dust produced during the pavement milling operation. Machine will have capability of adding water in front of equipment to minimize dust during milling operation. The machine will have the ability to windrow the millings or cuttings or remove the millings or cuttings from the pavement and load them into a truck]. The milling machine will not damage any part of the pavement structure that is not to be removed.

1.2.2 Cleaning Equiment

Provide cleaning equipment suitable for removing and cleaning loose material from the pavement surface.

1.2.3 Straightedge

Furnish and maintain at the site, in good condition, one 12 foot straightedge or other suitable device for each milling machine, for testing the finished surface. Make straightedge available for

SECTION 32 01 16.71 Page 3

Government use. Use straightedges constructed of aluminum or other lightweight metal, with blades of box or box-girder cross section with flat bottom reinforced to insure rigidity and accuracy. Use straightedges with handles to facilitate movement on the pavement.

1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.

Do not perform milling when there is accumulation of snow or ice on the pavement surface.

PART 3 EXECUTION.

3.1 MILLING OPERATION.

A minimum of seven days notice is required, prior to start work, for the

Contracting Officer to coordinate the milling operation with other activities at the site. Make sufficient passes so that the designated area is milled to the grades and cross sections indicated. Mill the pavement in depth increments that will not damage the pavement below the designated finished grade. If scabbing occurs, the surface will not meet smoothness requirements. Take steps to modify the process as needed to prevent scabbing from occuring. Repair or replace, as directed, items damaged during milling such as manholes, valve boxes, utility lines, pavement that is torn, cracked, gouged, broken, or undercut.

3.2 GRADE AND SURFACE-SMOOTHNESS TESTING.

3.2.1 Grade-Conformance Tests

Test the finished milled surface of the pavement for conformance with the plan-grade requirements and for acceptance by the

Contracting Officer by running lines of levels at intervals of 25 feet longitudinally and 25 feet transversely to determine the elevation of the completed pavement. Correct variations from the designated grade line and elevation in excess of the plan-grade requirements as directed. Skin patching for correcting low areas will not be permitted. Remove and replace the deficient low area.

Remove sufficient material to allow at least 1 inch of asphalt concrete to be placed.

3.2.2 Surface-Smoothness Tests

Surface-Smoothness Tests. After completion of the final milling, the finished milled surface will be tested by the Government with a straightedge. Other approved devices may be used, provided that when satisfactorily and properly operated, such devices reveal all surface irregularities exceeding the tolerances specified. Correct surface irregularities that depart from the testing edge by more than 1/4 inch. Skin patching for correcting low areas will not be permitted. Remove and replace the deficient low area. Remove sufficient material to allow at least 1 inch of asphalt concrete to be placed.

3.3 REMOVAL OF MILLED MATERIAL.

SECTION 32 01 16.71 Page 4

Material that is removed will become the property of the Contractor and removed from the site.
