The notice of width restriction is considered a part of the Contractor’s approved work schedule and is the Contractor’s responsibility to provide proper notice. Delays caused by failure to provide notice shall not be considered justification for work day additions or completion date extensions.

SECTION (139X-2HB)B

All work associated with the furnishing, erecting, maintaining, and removing width restriction signage will be considered included in the cost of Traffic Control and Protection, Standard 701422.

ADA CURB RAMPS

This work shall consist of constructing a PCC sidewalk in accordance with Section 424 and Section 606 of the Standard Specifications, except as described herein.

All pedestrian facilities and shared use paths on this project must be constructed according to Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). The appropriate pedestrian ramp details for each quadrant are included in the plans. The Engineer may provide additional details to those provided in the plans that meet the PROWAG guidelines as the need arises and field conditions dictate.

Pedestrian facilities must be constructed to meet the following criteria:

(1) Pedestrian Access Routes (PAR) must be constructed to meet the following:

• 5 feet typical width (4 feet minimum)

• A maximum cross slope of 2.0%. (1.5% preferred)

• Vertical discontinuities must be less than 0.25 inches.

• Must provide positive drainage to prevent ponding and maintain existing drainage flow patterns unless indicated otherwise in the plans.

• All grade breaks shall be constructed perpendicular to the path of travel.

(2) Landings are part of the PAR and must be constructed to meet the following:

• 5 feet by 5 feet typical (4 feet by 4 feet minimum)

• Maximum slope of 2.0% in all directions. (1.5% preferred)

• Required at all locations where the PAR changes directions.

• Must be connected to the PAR

To ensure that the pedestrian facilities are constructed in compliance with PROWAG, the Contractor shall follow the construction sequence at each quadrant:

(1) The Contractor shall use the appropriate ramp details in the plans to determine if the removal limits for the sidewalk and curb and gutter are adequate.

(2) The Contractor shall verify the proposed curb flow lines will provide positive drainage as well as maintain existing drainage patterns including existing gutter flows. The curb and gutter shall be constructed as detailed in the plans with a defined flow line and no vertical discontinuities in the PAR.

(3) All landings/turning spaces shall be formed and placed separately in an independent concrete pour prior to placement of curb ramps and sidewalk. All necessary subgrade preparation for the entire quadrant shall be done before the landings/turning spaces are constructed. Tie bars will be required as shown in the plan detail. The tie bars will not be paid for separately.

(4) After the landings have been constructed, the Contractor will be allowed to form and pour the remaining curb ramps/sidewalks.

SECTION (139X-2HB)B

(5) If at any time the Contractor determines that the requirements of PROWAG cannot be met, the Contractor shall meet with the Engineer to determine the best solution. Once the Engineer and the Contractor reach agreement on how to proceed, the Contractor may proceed with the curb ramp/sidewalk pour.

The Contractor may confer with the Engineer for guidance in laying out the proposed work, but it will be the Contractor's responsibility to ensure the proposed work meets all the requirements of this special provision. This layout includes, but is not limited to, placement of grade breaks, curb transitions, gutter flow lines, truncated dome placement, crosswalk marking placement, flares, landing limits, and ramp limits. Any inspection or checking of the Contractor’s layout and the acceptance of any part of it shall not relieve the Contractor of their responsibility to secure proper dimensions, grades, and elevations. It is important that the Contractor layout this work properly to achieve the construction of a compliant pedestrian facility.

Sidewalk joints shall be placed according to Section 424.06 of the Standard Specifications. A sidewalk joint will be required at all grade breaks within the PAR. The top grade break of walkable flares shall require a visual joint to indicate a change in grade.

DIAMOND GRINDING AND SURFACE TESTING BRIDGE SECTIONS

Effective: December 6, 2004 Revised: April 15, 2022

Description. This work shall consist of diamond grinding and surface testing bridge sections.

The bridge section shall consist of the bridge deck plus the bridge approach slab and pavement connector, if present, at each end of the bridge.

Equipment. Equipment shall be according to the following.

(a) Diamond Grinder. The diamond grinder shall be a self-propelled planing machine specifically designed for diamond saw grinding. It shall be capable of accurately establishing the profile grade and controlling the grinding cross slope. It shall also have an effective means for removing excess material and slurry from the surface and for preventing dust from escaping into the air. The removal of slurry shall be continuous throughout the grinding operation. The slurry shall be disposed of according to Article 202.03.

The grinding head shall be a minimum of 4 ft. (1.2 m) wide and the diamond saw blades shall be gang mounted on the grinding head at a rate of 50 to 60 blades / ft. (164 to 197 blades/m).

(b) Surface Testing Equipment. Required surface testing and analysis equipment and their jobsite transportation shall be provided by the Contractor. The Profile Testing Device shall be according to Illinois Test Procedure 701 except the trace analysis shall be based on traces from bridge sections.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

General. After all components have been properly cured, the bridge section shall be ground over its entire length and over a width that extends to within 2 ft. (600 mm) of the curbs or parapets.

Grinding shall be done separately before any saw cut grooving, and no concurrent combination of the two operations will be permitted. Whenever possible, each subsequent longitudinal grinding pass shall progress down the cross slope from high to low. The maximum thickness removed shall be 1/4 inch (6 mm); however, when the bridge deck thickness noted on the plans can be maintained, as a minimum, additional removal thickness may be permitted.

The grinding process shall produce a pavement surface that is true in grade and uniform in appearance with longitudinal line-type texture. The line-type texture shall contain corrugations parallel to the outside pavement edge and present a narrow ridge corduroy type appearance. The peaks of the ridges shall be 1/8-inch +/- 1/16-inch (3 mm +/- 1.5 mm) higher than the bottom of the grinding with evenly spaced ridges. It shall be the Contractor’s responsibility to select the actual number of blades per foot (meter) to be used to provide the proper surface finish for the aggregate type and concrete present on the project within the limits specified above.

The vertical difference between longitudinal passes shall be 1/8 inch (3 mm) maximum. The grinding at the ends of the bridge section shall be diminished uniformly at a rate of 1:240 over the pavement connectors.

SECTION (139X-2HB)B

Grinding shall be continuous through all joints. All expansion joints and bridge components under the joints shall be protected from damage or contact with the grinding slurry.

Surface Testing. The diamond ground bridge section shall be surface tested in the presence of the Engineer prior to opening to traffic.

A copy of the approval letter and recorded settings from the Profile Equipment Verification (PEV) Program shall be submitted to the Engineer prior to testing.

The Contractor shall notify the Engineer a minimum of 24 hours prior to commencement of measurements. All objects and debris shall be removed from the bridge section surface prior to testing. During surface testing, joint openings may be temporarily filled with material approved by the Engineer.

Profiles shall be taken in both wheel paths of each lane, 3 ft. (1 m) from, and parallel to, the planned lane lines.

The profile report shall have stationing indicated every 500 ft. (150 m) at a minimum.
