Revised 3/20/17

In order to be in compliance with Safety Engineering Policy Memorandum 4-21 (Drop Off Policy), the Contractor will utilize Traffic Control and Protection, Standard BLR-21. At any time a greater than 12” drop off is located within 8 ft. of the edge of the nearest open traffic lane, that lane shall be closed until the drop off is brought up to less than 12”. Pavement patching is not considered a drop off condition, except when individual patching holes are left open in excess of 24 hours. For drop offs >1.5” but <12” there shall be no long duration stationary operation allowed (14 days or more) located within 8 ft. of the edge of the nearest open traffic lane.

The Contractor will be assessed a traffic control deficiency deduction per Article 105.03(b) for each day a drop off greater than 1.5” exists for more than 14 days within 8 ft. of the edge of the nearest open traffic lane.

NOTIFICATION PRIOR TO STARTING WORK

Effective 12/05 Revised 2/10/17

Revise the first sentence of Article 107.09 Public Convenience and Safety to the following. “The Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 14 days in advance of starting any construction work.

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. wide, and the diamond saw blades shall be gang mounted on the grinding head at a rate of 50 to 60 blades/ft.

Construction Requirements. After all components have been properly cured, the concrete pavement shall be ground over its entire length and over a width that extends to within 2 ft. of the curbs. 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; however, 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 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 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 maximum.
