SECTION 01020 – PENNDOT PUBLICATION COORDINATION

1.01 MINIMUM STANDARDS

A. All work in State Highway Right-of-Way shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of:

1. PennDOT Publication 408 Specifications

2. PennDOT Publication 35 Bulletin 15 – Approved Construction Materials

3. PennDOT Publication 72M – Roadway Construction Standards

B. It is the intent of the Contract Documents that the requirements of the above listed

PennDOT Publications are the minimum quality of work and minimum quantity of work to be provided by Contractor throughout the project, even in areas outside of the PennDOT ROW. The Contract Documents, including but not limited to the Drawings and Specifications, may require additional work, additional material, a higher quality material, specialized equipment and/or other additional quantity or quality of work to complete the construction. Accordingly, such additional work, additional material, higher quality material, specialized equipment and/or other additional quantity or quality of work shall be provided by Contractor.

For example:

A PennDOT Publication 72M – Roadway Construction Standard Drawing may have a detail which shows that retained material may be used for backfill, while the Contract Document Drawings and/or Specifications require that 2A Coarse Aggregate be used for all backfill within all state highway right-of-way limits. Then, in this example, the Contract Documents require that the Contractor use 2A Coarse Aggregate backfill and remove the excavated material. The PennDOT Publication 72M – Roadway Construction Standard reference to retained material is interpreted as the minimum level of construction and is superseded by the higher quality 2A Coarse Aggregate material and associated work to fully install and construct 2A Coarse Aggregate backfill complete in place including any associated work of hauling and disposing of any excavated material.

1.02 REFERENCED PENNDOT SPECIFICATIONS

A. It is the intent of the Contract Documents that the Contract Documents as designated in the Agreement, including but not limited to the Agreement, the

Instructions to Bidders, the General Conditions and Supplementary Conditions, govern the terms and conditions of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor, including but not limited to bidding requirements, contract administrative procedures, contract payments, contract times, amending and supplementing contract procedures and other similar administrative items. Any references to PennDOT Publication 408 Specifications shall not be construed to supersede such administrative terms and conditions of the Agreement.

For example:

The Contract Documents shall govern over PennDOT Publication 408 Specifications Section 100 – General Provisions on administrative matters including but not limited to, reporting and resolving discrepancies, subsurface and physical conditions, differing subsurface and physical conditions, underground facilities, hazardous environmental conditions at the Site, bonds and insurance, changes in the work, claims, claims between contractors, cost of the work, unit price work, changes in contract price, changes in contract time, delays, payments to Contractor, dispute resolution and giving notice.

B. Nothing in Paragraph 1.02.A shall in any way diminish, lessen or eliminate the right and authority of PennDOT and its duly authorized representatives from fully exercising their rights of inspecting, reviewing, rejecting the Work and the materials and suspending the Work for cause in accordance with PennDOT’s requirements.

Nor shall this section relieve Contractor’s responsibilities to adhere to applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

D. The surface shall be flooded. Any ponding water remaining that is deep enough to cover the thickness of a five-cent piece shall be corrected using a patch mix consisting of Novabond, 50-mesh sand and Portland cement, as per manufacturer’s directions. Depressions must be primed with a 50% dilution of Novabond and water prior to patching.

E. Application shall proceed only if the surface is dry and clean and the temperature is at least fifty degrees (50°F) and rising, and the surface temperature is not in excess of one hundred forty degrees (140°F). Do not apply coatings when rain is imminent.

F. Each coat in this system must dry completely before next application. Between each coat, inspect entire surface. Any defects should be repaired. Scrape surface to remove any lumps, and broom or blow off all loose matter.

B. All NOVACRYLIC coatings are waterborne and cannot cure in cold temperatures or when subject to moisture. Care should be taken not to apply coatings when rain is forecast or sudden drop of temperature is expected. Climatic conditions such as very cool evenings and high dew points dictate that work should be completed early in the day so the coatings can be exposed to enough warm sunlight to form a film before sunset. The opposite applies during times of high heat, low humidity and drying breezes: under these conditions, work very early in the morning or very late in the day. If the product seems to be drying too fast in hot weather, mist the pavement with water to make the application easier. Care must be taken to allow each application to dry thoroughly prior to recoating.

A. Acrylic Surface, including all necessary preparation of the surface prior to coating, coatings, and all construction necessary to complete the surface. - Lump Sum

B. Court Line Paints, including all painting and striping of lines within recreational court areas. - Lump Sum
