1.3.2 Landing and Take-Offs: Emergency landings and take-offs shall take precedence over all Contractor operations. When notified of an emergency situation, the Contractor shall cease all rubber removal operations and immediately clear the runway of all equipment and personnel for a distance of at least 60 meters 200 feet from the edge of the runway.

1.4 RUBBER REMOVAL EQUIPMENT

1.4.1 Mechanical Rubber Removal Equipment: Mechanical rubber removal equipment includes waterblasting, or other approved nonchemical systems. Equipment to be used on Portland cement concretes shall be controlled to remove rubber accumulations and prevent removal of hardened paste from the concrete. Basic hand tools and the following mechanical equipment will be considered acceptable for this project.

1.4.1.1 Water blasting Equipment: Mobile water blasting equipment shall be capable of producing a pressurized stream of water that will effectively remove rubber from the pavement surface without significantly damaging the pavement. Water pressure shall be regulated so that substantially all rubber accumulations are removed during execution of the work.

1.4.2 Chemical Rubber Removal Equipment: Chemical equipment shall be capable of application and removal of chemicals from the pavement surface and shall leave only non-toxic biodegradable residue.

1.5 DELIVERY AND STORAGE: Materials that are required in the approved rubber removal process shall be delivered in original manufacturer's containers and shall be labeled with appropriate EPA, OSHA, or other agency warnings, if applicable. Materials

Specs 16‐0001 Page 21 shall be protected from the environment until their use is required during execution of the work.

1.6 UNIT PRICES

1.6.1 Measurement: Rubber removal will be measured by the number of square yards of runway to be cleaned.

1.6.2 Payment: Rubber removal will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard of runway rubber removed.

1.7 WEATHER LIMITATIONS: Pavement surface shall be free of snow, ice or slush.

Surface temperature shall be at least 40 degrees F and rising at the beginning of operations. Operation shall cease during thunderstorms. Operation shall cease during rainfall except for waterblasting and removal of previously applied chemicals.

Waterblasting shall cease where surface water accumulation alters the effectiveness of material removal.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Applicable)

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 RUBBER REMOVAL: The pavement surface shall be of portland cement concrete,.

Chemical methods, if used, shall be compatible with pavement materials, the environment and working personnel. The Contractor shall demonstrate the ability to remove rubber at a touchdown area of the runway selected by the Contracting Officer; at least one site per runway will be chosen. Rubber removal shall be as complete as possible without damage to the pavement surface. The surface texture of the cleaned demonstration area will be compared to that of nonrubber traffic areas to determine satisfactory completion of the removal operation. After approval of the Contractor's operations the cleaned area will become the standard for rubber removal and final surface texture for the remainder of work.

3.2 CLEANUP AND WASTE DISPOSAL: The worksite shall be kept clean of debris and waste from rubber removal operations. Cleanup operations shall be continuous.

Debris and waste materials shall be accumulated and disposed at approved sites.
