The HMA placement and the priming of the partial depth patches will be paid for at the contract unit price per Ton for PARTIAL DEPTH PATCHING.

PROTECTION OF FRAMES AND LIDS OF UTILITY STRUCTURES

Effective March 6, 1991 Revised January 1, 2007

This work shall consist of protecting frames and lids of utility structures in the pavement after the adjacent hot-mix asphalt surface has been removed to the required depth by cold milling or by hand methods.

After the area has been swept clean and before the lane is opened to traffic, a hot bituminous mixture shall be placed around the casting, flush with its surface and decreasing to a featheredge in a distance of 4 feet (1.2 m) around the entire surface of the casting. Cold mix or milled material will not be permitted. This mixture shall remain in place until the day surfacing operations are undertaken within the immediate area of the structure. Prior to placing the surface course, the temporary hot-mix asphalt mixture shall be removed and disposed of by the Contractor as specified in Article 202.03 of the Standard Specifications.

The temporary tapers and their removal shall be considered included in the contract unit price per Square Meter (Square Yard) for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL of the depth specified, and no additional compensation will be allowed.

Section 111RS-5

HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL, 1½" OR 3¾"

Effective: March 1, 1993 Revised: January 1, 2022

Description: This work shall consist of removing a portion of the existing hot-mix asphalt concrete surface course in accordance with the applicable portions of Section 440 and 1101 of the Standard Specifications, this special provision, details in the plans and as directed by the Engineer. The cold milled salvaged aggregate resulting from this operation shall become the property of the Contractor.

Equipment: The machine used for milling and planing shall be a self-propelled grinding machine having a minimum 12' (3.6 m) wide drum at least 28" (710 mm) in diameter. When a milling width in excess of 12' is required and the Contractor’s milling machine is less than the required width shown in the plans, the remaining area shall be milled with a machine capable of meeting the requirements of this special provision. Milling attachments used with skid steer tractors will not be allowed for longitudinal areas to mill additional widths.

When the teeth become worn so that they do not produce a uniform surface texture, they shall all be changed at the same time (as a unit). Occasionally, individual teeth may be changed if they lock up or break, but this method shall not be used to avoid changing the set of teeth as a unit.

Occasional gouges, due to deteriorated pavement condition, or separation of lifts will not be cause to replace all teeth. The Engineer will be the sole judge of the cause of the pavement gouging and the corrective work required. Corrective work due to negligence or poor workmanship shall be at the Contractor’s expense.

The moldboard is critical in obtaining the desired surface texture. It shall be straight, true, and free of excessive nicks or wear, and it shall be replaced as necessary to uniformly produce the required surface texture. Gouging of the pavement by more than 1/4 inch (6 mm) shall be sufficient cause to require replacement of all teeth.

Add the following after the third sentence of Article 406.05 (c)(1):

"Vacuum sweeping shall be accomplished with a regenerative air sweeper."

Construction Requirements

General: Weather conditions, when milling work is performed, must be such that short term or temporary pavement markings can be placed the day the surface is milled in accordance with Section 703 "Work Zone Pavement Markings".

An automatic grade control device shall be used when milling mainline pavement and shall be capable of controlling the elevation of the drum relative to either a preset grade control stringline or a grade reference device traveling on the adjacent pavement surface. The automatic grade control device may be utilized only on one side of the machine with a automatic slope control device controlling the opposite side. The traveling grade reference device shall not be less than 30 feet (9 m) in length. When milling cross roads, turn lanes, intersections, crossovers, or other miscellaneous areas, the Engineer may permit the matching shoe. The Contractor, at his option, may also substitute an approved 6' wide (1.8 m) machine for areas other than mainline pavement.

Section 111RS-5

The Contractor shall mill 1½" or 3¾" at the centerline and project the proposed cross slope to the edge of pavement. In the event the milling at the outer edge of the lane would exceed 1½" or 3¾"; then the Contractor shall reduce the cut at the centerline to provide the maximum cut of 1½" & 3¾" at the edge of pavement. If deemed necessary, the Contractor may reduce the cross slope from normal 1.5% to 1%.

Surface tests will be performed in accordance with Article 406.11 of the Standard Specifications.

The longitudinal profile will be taken 3 ft. (0.9 m) from and parallel to each edge of pavement and 3 ft. (0.9 m) from and parallel to the centerline on each side. If a shadow area is found at the 3 ft.

(0.9 m) points the pavement smoothness tester will be moved sufficient distance either side to measure the Contractor’s milling efforts. Any surface variations exceeding the tolerance in Article

406.11 shall be corrected by reprofiling at no additional expense to the Department. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for refilling with approved hot-mix asphalt mixtures any area that lowered the pavement profile as a result of faulty milling operations if directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing the pavement smoothness tester described elsewhere to retest the pavement profile obtained.

If the milling depth is intended to expose the original concrete pavement, then additional hand or machine work may be necessary to remove any remaining veneer of bituminous pavement which may be left in place behind the milling machine. Such work will be at the direction of the Engineer and at no extra cost to the Department.

The Contractor shall provide a 10-foot (3 m) straightedge equipped with a carpenter’s level or a 7-foot (2.1 m) electronic straightedge to check the cross slope of the roadway at regular intervals as directed by the Engineer.

Surface Texture: Each tooth on the cutting drum shall produce a series of discontinuous longitudinal striations. There shall be 16 to 20 striations (tooth marks) for each tooth for each 6 feet (1.8 m) in the longitudinal direction, and each striation shall be 1.7 inches ±0.2 inch (43 ±5 mm) in length after the area is planed by the moldboard. Thus, the planed length between each pair of striations shall be 2.3 inches ±0.2 inch (58 ±5 mm). There shall be 80 to 96 rows of discontinuous longitudinal striations for each 5 feet (1.5 m) in the transverse dimension. The areas between the striations in both the longitudinal and transverse directions shall be flat topped and coplaner. The moldboard shall be used to cut this plane; and any time the operation fails to produce this flat plane interspersed with a uniform pattern of discontinuous longitudinal striations, the operation shall be stopped and the cause determined and corrected before recommencing.

Other similar patterns of uniform discontinuous longitudinal striations interspersed on a flat plane may be approved by the Engineer. The drawing titled "Hot-Mix Asphalt Surface Removal" showing the desired surface texture is included in the plans.

The start-up milling speed shall be limited to a maximum of 50-foot (15 m) per minute. The Contractor shall limit his operations to this speed to demonstrate his ability to obtain the striations and ride ability as described above. If the Contractor is able to demonstrate that he can consistently obtain the desired striations and ride ability at a greater speed he will be permitted to run at the increased speed.

Section 111RS-5

Cleanup: After cold milling a traffic lane and before opening the lane to traffic, the pavement shall be swept by a regenerative air sweeper to prevent compaction of the cuttings onto the pavement. All loose material shall be removed from the roadway. Before the prime coat is placed, the pavement shall be cleaned of all foreign material to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

This cleanup work shall be considered included in the contract unit price per Square Meter (Square Yard) for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL of the depth specified, and no additional compensation will be allowed.

Method of Measurement:

(a) Contract Quantities. The requirements for the use of Contract Quantities shall be Article

202.07(a) of the Standard Specifications.

(b) Measured Quantities. Cold milling and planing will be measured and the area computed in Square Yards (Square Meters) of surface.

Areas not milled (shadowed areas) due to rutting in the existing pavement surface will be included in the area measured for payment.

Basis of Payment: The cold milling and planing will be paid for at the contract unit price per Square Yard (Square Meter) for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL of the depth specified. Payment as specified will include variations in depth of cuts due to rutting, superelevations, and pavement crown and no additional compensation will be allowed.

PAVEMENT DRAINAGE AFTER COLD MILLING

Effective March 15, 1996 Revised November 8, 2019

HOT-MIX ASPHALT JOINT TRIMMING

Effective: August 5, 2022

When specified in the plans, unconfined hot mix asphalt (HMA) edges will be placed and trimmed per the following guidelines:

1. Place the HMA tack coat and HMA pavement/shoulder 6" wider than the designated lane line (centerline or edge of pavement).

2. When the joint is trimmed as an independent operation, mill the excess 6" of the unconfined HMA to the lane line. The milling equipment must be capable of producing a straight line. The depth of the milling must be controlled so as not to gouge the underlying lift. The intent is to create a vertical face at the lane line and provide a lateral confinement for the adjacent mat. Skid-steer mounted mills will not be allowed. Milling and cleaning must be done prior to tacking of the adjacent HMA paving. Milling the same day as HMA placement will not be allowed. If the Engineer determines excessive raveling of the milled face is occurring, the contractor shall make adjustments to the operation such as slowing the mill speed, replacing mill teeth, or adjustment of mill box side plates.

3. When the joint is trimmed as part of the adjacent mat milling, milling the same day as HMA placement will not be allowed. If the Engineer determines excessive raveling of the milled face is occurring, the contractor shall make adjustments to the operation such as slowing the mill speed, replacing mill teeth, or adjustment of mill box side plates.

4. Clean and prepare the surface of the adjacent mat as per Article 406.05 of the

Standard Specification prior to the placement of the HMA. The HMA Tack Coat shall be sprayed the full width of the lane/shoulder and also lapped onto the adjacent mat a distance not to exceed 4". In addition, the vertical face of the adjacent mat shall be thoroughly tacked by means of a dedicated spray nozzle, mounted at a 45-degree angle, aimed toward the face.

5. Placement of this HMA mat shall require the use of a joint-matching device in lieu of a longitudinal averaging ski. The compacted height of this mat shall be exactly flush, or not more than 1/32" higher, to the adjacent mat to ensure the joint has sufficient material for adequate compaction. During placement, the side plate of the screed shall not exceed 1/2" overlap onto the adjacent mat.

When milled independently, the 6" extra width at the lane line will be paid for at the contract unit price per Square Yard for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL – SPECIAL. When milled with the adjacent mat, the 6" extra width at the lane line will be paid for at the contract unit price for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SURFACE REMOVAL of the depth specified. The extra HMA tack coat will be paid for at the contract unit price per Pound for the tack coat specified in the plans. The extra trimmed HMA will be paid for at the contract unit price per Ton or Square Yard, as specified in the plans. All other extra work will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the unit bid price of the various pay items and no other compensation will be allowed.
