Part 1. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF PAVEMENT

1. GENERAL

1.1 UNIT PRICES

1.1.1 Measurement

Asphalt pavement rehabilitation is measured by the number of square yards of pavement to be removed.

1.1.2 Payment

Asphalt milling is paid for in the contract as a lump sum line item and must include the cost of Milling for both locations.

1.2 ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Submit a schedule of work to the Contracting Officer. Describe the work to be accomplished; noting the location of work, distances from the ends of runways, taxiways, buildings, and other structures; and indicating dates and hours during which the work will be accomplished.

Schedule the work to conform to aircraft operating schedules. The Government will try to schedule aircraft operations so as to permit the maximum amount of time for the Contractor's work. However, in the event of any emergency, intense operational demands, adverse wind conditions, and other unforeseen difficulties, discontinue all work at locations in the aircraft operational area. Keep the approved schedule of work current and notify the Contracting Officer of any changes prior to beginning each day's work.

1.3 PURPOSE OF REHABILITATION

The primary purpose for applying surface treatments and carrying out other repairs in asphalt pavements is to reduce the cost associated with vehicle or aircraft damage due to foreign object damage, to extend the service life of the pavement and to reduce the lifecycle costs for the pavement structure. The needed repair is considered to be Cold milling and re-surfacing the area.

1.4 WEATHER EFFECT

All re-surfacing work must be performed during dry weather and on dry surfaces. Place courses only when the surface temperature of the underlying course is greater than 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) for course thicknesses greater than 3 inches (75 millimeters) and 45 degrees F (7 degrees C) for course thicknesses 3 inches (75 millimeters) or less. When hot asphalt mixtures are placed on cold pavements, they may quickly cool, making adequate compaction difficult. Moreover, asphalt and asphalt mixtures do not bond adequately to damp surface.

2. EQUIPMENT

2.1 PAVEMENT REPAIR EQUIPMENT

All equipment must be inspected before and during the repair project to ensure safe operation and proper application. Follow proper safety procedures in accordance with OSHA guidelines and standard practices for the protection of all project personnel. Make hand tools available for working in areas where machinery is not practical or allowed.

3. EXECUTION

3.1 COLD MILLING

Pavement milling is the process or removing at least part of the surface of a paved area such as a road, bridge or parking lot. Milling removes anywhere from just enough thickness to level and smooth the surface to a full depth removal. Recycling of the road surface is one of the main reasons for milling a road surface. Milling is widely used for pavement recycling, where the pavement is removed and ground up to be used as the aggregate in new pavement. This reduces the impact that resurfacing has on the environment.

Milling can also remove distress from the surface, providing a better driving experience and/or longer roadway life.

3.2 TACK COAT

Tack coat shall be applied to the existing pavement surface before it is overlaid with new asphalt overlay. The tack coat provides bond between the old and new pavement. Procedural steps for tack coat:

3.2.1. Prepare the surface: clean and dry surface and ensure it is free of dust, loose dust and other debris.

3.2.2. Apply the tack: use a distributor to apply tack coats over large area or hand-wand for small area.

Apply the tack coat at a proper application rate in an even and uniform coat over the entire area. Application rates for tack coats range from 0.05 to 0.1 gallon per square yard (0.23 to 0.45 liter per square meter).

Allow tack coat to cure before placing the overlay or patch material. Cure times will vary according to the type of tack material used and climatic conditions but typically it is a few minutes up to one to two hours. When asphalt cement is used as a tack coat, no cure time is required.

3.3 PROJECT/SITE CONDITIONS

3.3.1 Environmental Requirements

Ensure pavement surface is free of snow, ice or slush. Ensure surface temperature is at least 5 degrees C 40 degrees F and rising at the beginning of operations.

3.3.2 Airfield Traffic Control

Coordinate performance of all work in the controlled zones of the airfield with the Contracting Officer.

3.3.3 Emergency Landing and Takeoff

Emergencies take precedence over all operations. Upon notification from the Control Tower of an emergency landing or imminent takeoff, stop all operations immediately and evacuate all personnel and equipment to an area not utilized for aircraft traffic which is at least 76 m 250 feet measured perpendicular to and away from the near edge of the runway unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's Representative. Equipment and chemicals or detergents as well as excess water must be able to clear the work area within 3 minutes.

3.3.4 Airfield Lighting

When night operations are necessary, provide all necessary lighting and equipment. Direct or shade lighting to prevent interference with aircraft, the air traffic control tower, and other base operations. Provide lighting and related equipment capable of being removed from the runway within 15 minutes of notification of an emergency. Night work must be coordinated with the Flight Operations Manager or Airfield Manager and approved in advance by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative.

3.4 SAFETY

Comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.

PART 2 ASPHALT SURFACE LAYER

2.1 GENERAL

2.1.1 UNIT PRICES

2.1.2 Measurement

Asphalt pavement is measured by the tons delivered and installed.

2.1.3 Payment

Asphalt pavement is paid for in the contract as a lump sum line item and must include the cost of Asphalt for both locations.

2.1.4 TYPE OF DAMAGE

Rutting can occur in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements when subjected to slow moving traffic. To repair the rutting confined to the existing HMA surface by cold milling followed by HMA overlay.

2.2 PRODUCTS

2.2.1 HOT MIX ASPHALT

Hot mix asphalt shall be produced by heating the asphalt binder to decrease it viscosity and drying the aggregate to remove moisture prior to mixing.

Mixing shall be performed with the aggregate at about 300 degrees F (roughly 150 degrees C) for virgin asphalt, 330 degrees F (166 degrees C) for polymer modified asphalt, and asphalt cement at 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Paving and compaction shall be performed while the asphalt is sufficiently hot.

2.2.1.1 Bituminous material shall conform to the following requirements:

Bituminous asphalt properties shall be Performance Graded (PG) materials conforming to the requirements of AASHTO Provisional Specification MP-1.

Bituminous asphalt shall be PG 64-22 as required by the type of bituminous concrete pavement.

The Contractor shall furnish vendor's certified test reports for each lot of bituminous material shipped to the project. The vendor's certified test report for the bituminous material can be used for acceptance.

2.2.1.2 Recycled asphalt will not be permitted for use on this project.

2.2.1.3 Surface layer material acceptance: prior of the delivery of the materials to the job site, the Contractor shall submit certified test reports to the Engineer for Coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and bituminous material.

The certification(s) shall show the appropriate ASTM test(s) for each material, the test results, and a statement that the material meets the specification requirement. Plant-produced material shall be tested for stability, flow, and air voids on a lot basis. Sampling shall be from material deposited into trucks at the plant or from trucks at the job site.

Samples shall be taken in accordance with ASTM D 979.

2.2.1.4 Compaction: After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by power rollers. Rollers of the vibratory, steel wheel, and pneumatic-tired type shall be used. They shall be in good condition, capable of operating at slow speeds to avoid displacement of the bituminous mixture. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the mixture to the required density while it is still in a workable condition.

2.3 EXECUTION

2.3.1 COMPACTION OF MIXTURE

After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by power rollers. The surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the mixture has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any other cause, shall be corrected at once. Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the required field density is obtained. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be equipped with a scraper and kept properly moistened but excessive water will not be permitted.

Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-cracking, or in any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area.

This work shall be done at the Contractor's expense. Skin patching shall not be allowed.
