Frequency of core samples shall be completed every 2-3 hours during paving.

Tack Coat Application, 3. Asphalt Pavement, 4. Taxiway Marking, 5. Pre-Final Inspection, 6. Final Inspection)
2. During the initial contractor site visit performed on 7 Jan 2013, it was observed that there were portions of the taxiway that had geotextile fabric beneath the asphalt. There are three to four areas identified that have geotextile material. There may be up to 10 areas of geotextile material. These sections are 1’ x 10’ and the contractor is to saw cut out these sections and mill the rest of the taxiway and dispose of on base.
