Hot Mix Asphalt

All mix designs shall be run with a gyratory compaction angle of 1.25 degrees and properties must satisfy Table 403-1. Form 43 will establish construction targets for Asphalt Cement and all mix properties at Air Voids up to 1.0 percent below the mix design optimum. CDOT will establish the production asphalt cement and volumetric targets based on the Contractor’s mix design and the relationships shown between the hot mix asphalt mixture volumetric properties and asphalt cement contents on the Form 429. CDOT may select a different AC content other than the one shown at optimum on the Contractor’s mix design in order to establish the production targets as contained on the Form 43. Historically, Air Voids adjustments typically result in asphalt cement increases from 0.1 to 0.5 percent.

Contractors bidding the project should anticipate this change and factor it into their unit price bid.

Revision of Section 403

Hot Mix Asphalt

The Contractor shall prepare a quality control plan outlining the steps taken to minimize segregation of HMA.

When the Engineer determines that segregation is unacceptable, the paving shall stop and the cause of segregation shall be corrected before paving operations will be allowed to resume.

Hot mix asphalt for patching shall conform to the gradation requirements for Hot Mix Asphalt (Grading SX and S).

Acceptance samples shall be taken CP 41 Method B.

Delete subsection 403.05 and replace with the following:

403.05 The accepted quantities of hot mix asphalt will be paid for per subsection 401.22, at the contract unit price per ton for the bituminous mixture.

Payment will be made under:

Hot Mix Asphalt (Patching)(Asphalt) Ton

Aggregate, asphalt recycling agent, asphalt cement, additives, hydrated lime, and all other work and materials necessary to complete each hot mix asphalt item will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the unit price bid. When the pay item includes the PG binder grade, any change to the submitted mix design optimum asphalt cement content to establish production targets on the Form 43 will not be measured and paid for separately but shall be included in the work. No additional compensation will be considered or paid for any additional asphalt cement, plant modifications and additional personnel required to produce the HMA as a result in a change to the mix design asphalt cement content.

Historically, typical asphalt cement increases reflected on the Form 43 are from 0.1 to 0.5 percent. However, the Contractor should anticipate the AC increases typical of his mixes.

Contractors bidding the project should anticipate this change and factor it into their unit price bid.

When the pay item does not include the PG binder grade, asphalt cement will be measured and paid for per Section 411. Asphalt cement used in Hot Mix Asphalt (Patching) will not be measured and paid for separately but shall be included in the work.

Excavation, preparation, and tack coat of areas to be patched will not be measured and paid for separately but shall be included in the work.
