This is a standard detail specification document issued by the City of Ocala, Florida, Engineer's Office for trench width pavement replacement procedures on municipal construction projects. The specification establishes requirements for the removal and replacement of pavement in trenches, including material standards, thickness specifications, and installation methods that must comply with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Key requirements include sawing pavement to straight edges at a minimum depth of 1.5 inches, removing existing pavement neatly, and ensuring new surface material is consistent with existing pavement thickness, which typically ranges from 1 to 4 inches on typical streets. Where material type is not specified, replacement pavement shall consist of 1.5 inches of Superpave asphalt applied over a minimum 12-inch compacted limerock base. The specification mandates full lane replacement for mains installed under pavement rather than small asphalt patches within a single lane, with trench width extending 20 feet beyond the pipe installation area and 10-foot ditch widths on typical streets.

The document references FDOT standards for excavation, backfill, and compaction procedures detailed in sections G-16, G-17, and G-18, ensuring consistency across all City of Ocala pavement replacement projects. This specification was revised in December 2020 and applies to the auxiliary apparatus storage construction project for Fire Station #7 (ITB #CIP/260548), where pavement work may be required as part of site preparation and utility installation. The specification document serves as a binding technical requirement for all contractors performing pavement replacement work on City of Ocala projects, ensuring standardized quality and durability of municipal infrastructure improvements.
