Description. This work shall consist of partial depth removal of the existing PCC or HMA pavement and replacement with HMA.

The partial depth removal on a lane width or less shall be classified by type/size as follows.

Type I Less than 8 sq yd (9 sq m) Type II 8 sq yd (9 sq m) or more, but less than 50 sq yd (42 sq m) Type III 50 sq yd (42 sq m) or more, but less than 100 sq yd (84 sq m) Type IV 100 sq yd (84 sq m) or more

Materials. Materials shall be according to the following Articles/Sections of the Standard Specifications.

Item Article/Section

(a) Bituminous Material for Prime Coat ....................................................................... 406.02

(b) Hot-Mix Asphalt (Note 1)

Note1. If the patch is going to be resurfaced, the HMA for partial depth patches shall be a surface mixture of the same type as the proposed resurfacing or as approved by the Engineer. If the patch is not going to be resurfaced, the mix shall be as shown on the plans.

Equipment. Equipment shall be according to the following Articles/Sections of the Standard

(a) Self-Propelled Milling Machine ............................................................................ 1101.16

(b) Concrete Saw .................................................................................................... 442.03(f)

(d) Rollers ................................................................................................................... 442.03

(e) Mechanical Sweeper ........................................................................................... 1101.03

(f) Air Equipment (Note 1)

Note 1. The air equipment shall be capable of supplying compressed air at a minimum pressure of 100 psi and shall have sufficient flow rate to remove all disturbed pavement debris. The equipment shall also be according to ASTM D 4285.

Construction Requirements

The minimum patch dimension shall be 24 x 24 in.

Partial Depth Removal. Partial depth removal of the pavement shall be accomplished by using a milling machine and/or the wheel saw. The patch area shall be cleaned by air equipment or mechanical sweeper, and all disturbed pavement debris and any loose or unsound concrete shall be removed. Materials resulting from the removal shall be disposed of according to Article 202.03 of the Standard Specifications.

Exposed reinforcement shall be removed back to the point where the steel is in contact with sound concrete. Where high steel is encountered, the depth of the patch may be reduced as directed by the Engineer.

Replacement with HMA. When the Engineer determines the exposed pavement will be suitable for a partial depth patch, a bituminous prime coat shall be applied according to Article 406.05(b) of the Standard Specifications. The prepared patch shall be filled using an HMA Surface Course IL 9.5 Mixture “D” N90. The HMA shall be compacted to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Patch Maintenance. Patches opened to traffic which are high or become rough by rutting, shoving, or heaving shall be corrected by trimming off high areas and/or filling depressions. Filled areas shall be rolled again.

Areas Unsuitable for a Partial Depth Patch. When the Engineer determines the exposed pavement will not be suitable for a partial depth patch or removal is one half or more of the pavement thickness, the remaining portion of the pavement shall be removed, and a full depth patch shall be constructed according to Section 442 of the Standard Specifications for the class of full depth patches included in the contract. The exposed area may be filled with HMA, and the full depth patch constructed at a later date. HMA shall be placed as specified for the partial depth repair.

Method of Measurement. Partial depth removal of the pavement will be measured in place, and the area computed in square yards.

HMA for partial depth patching of the pavement and for the backfilling of partial depth removal when it is determined the area is not suitable for a partial depth patch will be measured in tons according to Article 406.13 of the Standard Specifications.

Basis of Payment. Partial depth removal of the pavement will be paid for at the contract unit price per SQUARE YARD for PARTIAL DEPTH REMOVAL, of the type and thickness specified.

HMA for partial depth patching and for backfilling areas unsuitable for a partial depth patch will be paid for at the contract unit price per TON for PARTIAL DEPTH PATCHING.

When the Engineer determines to convert any partial depth patch to a full depth patch after the partial depth removal of the pavement has begun, the partial depth removal will still be paid for as Partial Depth Removal. The remaining removal for the full depth patch will be considered as included in the appropriate full depth patching pay item.

COMPLETION DATE

The contract is to run from the date of execution of the contract through June 30, 2029. All work on this contract shall be completed by June 30, 2029.

Traffic: It is the intention of the Department that all roads be kept open to traffic at all times during the construction of this contract. One-lane, two-way traffic will be permitted in the immediate work areas during construction on two-lane pavements and one-lane one-way traffic on divided highways. At all other times, all traffic lanes shall be kept open throughout the project.

At any particular location on a four lane divided highway when the driving lane is closed to traffic, the Contractor shall keep all equipment, materials and vehicles out of the median and off right of way beyond the median unless the passing lane is closed to traffic in the opposite direction. When the passing lane is closed to traffic, the Contractor shall keep all equipment, materials and vehicles off right of way beyond the adjacent driving lane that is open to traffic and off right of way beyond the centerline in the median unless the passing lane in the opposite direction is also closed to traffic.

No overnight closures will be permitted on 2-lane, 2-way traffic roadways.
