d. Establish a detailed testing schedule based on the production schedule.

e. Report the required preparatory testing, calibration, and inspection results.

f. Explain procedures to be followed if defective work is identified.

g. Describe the plan for staging, disposal, and storage areas.

h. Provide a brief operational work plan including, but not limited to, the locations, crews, equipment, and proposed methods to complete the work.

C. Control strip. On the first day of placement, construct one 300-foot-long control strip, one lane wide. Construct control strip on the project at an approved location. Construct the control strip using material, lay-down, and rolling procedures intended for the entire project. Start the control strip at the proposed application rate. Adjust the application rate for the surface conditions, if needed.

1. Cease production after construction of the control strip until the material and the control strip are evaluated and accepted. Repeat the control strip process until an acceptable control strip is produced.

2. Acceptable control strips may remain in place and will be accepted as a part of the completed surface treatment. Correct rejected control strips.

D. Use these start-up procedures if changing construction procedures, if resuming production after a termination of production due to unsatisfactory quality, or the starting of a new construction season.

409.12 Application.

A. Fog the surface with water in front of the spreader.

B. Blend the additives with the aggregate. Pre-wet the aggregate in the pugmill before mixing with the polymer-modified emulsified asphalt.

C. Mix the surfacing material for no more than 4 minutes. Ensure the mix is of uniform consistency as it leaves the mixer and conforms to the approved JMF. Apply micro surfacing material at the application rate determined from the control strip. Adjust mineral filler and

MIMI—323197 409—8

polymer-modified emulsified asphalt content during construction if approved to adjust for variations in field conditions.

D. Clean the spreader box before the start of each work shift.

E. Carry sufficient mix in the spreader to completely cover the surface. Spread the mix with a spreader box. In areas not accessible to the spreader, use hand squeegees to provide uniform coverage and match the finish of spreader.

F. Remove streaks and transverse ripples as defined by ISSA A143 from the finished surface.

G. Provide straight lines along curbs and shoulders and do not allow runoff onto these areas.

Provide straight and neat starting and ending joints by masking surfaces. Mask surfaces to provide straight and neat longitudinal or transverse joints at required locations (such as intersections and irregular shaped areas).

H. For transverse joints, use a butt joint. Use building paper placed over previously placed micro surfacing or other suitable methods to avoid double placement of micro surfacing. Remove ridges or bumps in the finished surface.

I. For longitudinal joints, place joints on lane lines. Use half passes and odd-width passes only in turnouts and parking areas. Do not use half passes for the last pass in paved areas. Overlap longitudinal joints no more than 3 inches. Limit the elevation difference at joints to less than ¼ inch.

J. Start rolling after the mixture has cured to the point where it will not pick up on the roller tires. Roll parking areas and turnouts with at least two full-coverage passes with the roller.

Rolling the mainline roadway is not required.

K. Allow treated areas to cure before opening to traffic. Cure is complete when clear water can be pressed out of the placed mix with a white piece of paper without discoloring the paper. Do not allow traffic in parking areas or pullouts for at least 48 hours after completing application.

L. Remove and dispose of material spills, hazardous materials, and associated debris at the end of each shift according to specification section 01 10 00 Division 01 Short Form General Requirements.

M. Two weeks to one month after completion of micro surfacing application and before placing permanent pavement markings, sweep the entire treated surface. Dispose of swept material according to specification 01 10 00 Division 01 Short Form General Requirements.
