522-3 Forms.

522-3.1 Form Materials: Construct forms for this work of either wood or metal.

Provide forms that are straight, free from warp or bends, and of sufficient strength, when staked, to resist the pressure of the concrete without deviation from line and grade. For all items constructed on a radius, use flexible forms.

522-3.2 Depth of Forms: Ensure that forms have a depth equal to the plan dimensions for the depth of concrete being deposited against them.

522-4 Foundation.

Compact fill areas, including cut areas under the sidewalk that have been excavated more than 6 inches below the bottom of sidewalk, to a minimum of 98% of AASHTO T180 density. All organics and other unsuitable material shall be removed from compacted areas prior to compaction, and replaced with clean structural fill to required grade. The area to be compacted is defined as that area directly under the sidewalk and 1 foot beyond each side of the sidewalk when right-of-way allows.

522-5 Joints.

522-5.1 Expansion Joints: Form 1/2 inch expansion joints between the sidewalk and the curb or driveway or at fixed objects and sidewalk intersections with a preformed joint filler meeting the requirements specified in the construction plans.

522-5.2 Contraction Joints:

522-5.2.1 Types: The CONTRACTOR may use open type or sawed contraction joints.

522-5.2.2 Open-Type Joints: Form open type contraction joints by staking a metal bulkhead in place and depositing the concrete on both sides. After the concrete has set sufficiently to preserve the width and shape of the joint, remove the bulkhead. After finishing the sidewalk over the joint, edge the slot with a tool having a 1/2 inch radius.

522-5.2.3 Sawed Joints: If electing to saw the contraction joints, cut a slot approximately 3/16 inch wide and not less than 1-1/2 inches deep with a concrete saw after the concrete has set, and within the following periods of time:

Joints at not more than 30 feet intervals - within 12 hours after finishing.

Remaining joints - within 96 hours after finishing.

522-6 Placing Concrete.

Place the concrete in the forms, and tamp and spade it to prevent honeycombing, and until the top of the structure can be floated smooth and the edges rounded to the radius shown in the plans. CONTRACTOR shall utilize sufficient chairs and non-metallic tie downs to minimize movement of reinforcing steel during concrete placement and shall place concrete in a manner which minimizes movement of reinforcing steel.

Concrete trucks shall not be parked within 25 feet of the bulkhead walls at any time.

522-7 Finishing.

522-7.1 Screeding: Strike-off the concrete by means of a wood or metal screed, used perpendicular to the forms, to obtain the required grade and remove surplus water and laitance.

522-7.2 Surface Requirements: Provide a broom finish. Ensure that the surface variations are not more than 1/4 inch under a 10 foot straightedge or more than 1/8 inch on a 5 foot transverse section. Finish the edge of the sidewalk with an edging tool having a radius of 1/2 inch.

522-8 Curing.

522-8.1 General: Continuously cure the concrete for a period of at least 72 hours.

Commence curing after completely finishing and as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit application of the curing material without marring the surface. Immediately replace any curing material removed or damaged during the 72 hour period. After removing the forms, cure the surfaces exposed by placing a berm of moist earth against them or by any of the methods described below, for the remainder of the 72 hour curing period.

522-8.2 Wet Burlap Method: Place burlap, as specified in 925-1(FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Latest Edition)), over the entire exposed surface of the concrete, with sufficient extension beyond each side to ensure complete coverage. Overlap adjacent strips a minimum of 6 inches. Hold the burlap securely in place such that it will be in continuous contact with the concrete at all times, and do not allow any earth between the burlap surfaces at laps or between the burlap and the concrete. Saturate the burlap with water before placing it, and keep it thoroughly wet throughout the curing period.

522-8.3 Membrane Curing Compound Method: Apply clear membrane curing compound or white pigmented curing compound, as specified in 925-2 (FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Latest Edition)), by a hand sprayer meeting the requirements of 350-3.10 (FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Latest Edition)), in a single coat continuous film at a uniform coverage of at least one gallon per 200 square feet.

Immediately recoat any cracks, checks, or other defects appearing in the coating.

Thoroughly agitate the curing compound in the drum prior to application, and during application as necessary to prevent settlement of the pigment.

522-8.4 Polyethylene Sheeting Method: Place polyethylene sheeting, as specified in 925-3 (FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (Latest Edition)), over the entire exposed surface of the concrete, with sufficient extension beyond each side to ensure complete coverage. Overlap adjacent strips a minimum of 6 inches. Hold the sheeting securely in place and in continuous contact with the concrete at all times.

522-9 Method of Measurement.

The quantity to be paid will be plan quantity, in square feet, completed and accepted.

Ramps, reconstructed sidewalks, walk around sidewalks, sidewalk landings, sidewalk curb, and driveways will be included in the area to be paid.
