Road Network and Parking Area Paving at Piedmont Dam Ohio

1 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES: Provide all necessary labor, equipment and materials to construct and pave a 400’legnth of road (approximately 13,000 sq. feet) with cul-de- sac, and attached parking areas located at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Piedmont Dam Ohio facilities 32665 Belmont Ridge Road Piedmont, Ohio 43983. (See Appendix “A” for a map of the project roadway). The roadway will be a width of 20 feet wide, and constructed using an asphalt surface. The road will have 2 un-separated lanes of traffic.

1.1 Place of Performance: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Piedmont Dam, 32665 Belmont Ridge Road Piedmont, Ohio 43983.

1.2 Specific Requirements: The contractor shall perform the following tasks:

1.2.1 Remove Existing pavement, grade and widen existing surface down to acceptable soils for sub-grade to a depth acceptable for emplaced sub-grade. Any areas that require widening to a width of 20 feet will be widened on lake side of road.

1.2.2 Ensure sub-grade is acceptable; soil that is unacceptable must be removed and replaced with select fill to a depth of at least 1 foot.

1.2.3 Emplace and compact sub-base course at a depth of 2 inches.

1.2.4 Install 4 inches of new 304 aggregate to entire roadway

1.2.5 Install prime coat applied at a rate of 0.45 – 1.25 liters per square meter.

1.2.6 Install tack coat applied with SS-1H Tack material or equivalent at a rate of .075G per square yard.

1.2.7 Apply and compact 2.5 inches of base course asphalt, then install 1.5 inches of surface course asphalt.

1.2.8 Existing pavement that is milled will be transported to downstream access road and tailgated along existing roadway. This material will be compacted with pavement roller.

The roadway is approximately ¼ mile from area of primary work.

1.2.9 Any quantities provided are for quoting purposes only. Contractors are responsible for verifying quantities and locations of work prior to quoting or being awarded the contract.

1.3 Engineer Materials Technical Specifications: All materials used in this project shall meet the requirements of the USACE, the EM 385-1-1, and shall not be recycled, previously used, nor repaired.

1.4 General Design Requirements:

1.4.1 Road alignment and profile shall be determined by Contractor. The Contractor shall design the roadway with good drainage and erosion protection. Contractor shall straighten road alignment as much as possible. Drainage is required on both sides of the road. All intersecting roads, paths, driveways and culvert crossings are required to have a smooth transition to the new road alignment.

1.4.2 The road shall be built up above existing grade for storm water protection. Poor sub-grade material shall be removed and replaced with clean, compactable, gravel. Portions of the road shall be realigned and constructed at an elevation greater than the anticipated water level.

1.4.3 Sub-base Preparation: The sub-base should be well-graded, shaped to the desired cross-section (as specified by the typical cross-section plans), compacted to the specified density, well-drained, free from excessive moisture but not completely dry, and swept clean. Apply the prime coat when the base is almost dry so that it will absorb the prime material.

1.4.4 Prime Coat: The prime coat should penetrate the base about ½ inch of the sub-base, filling the voids. Plan priming operations so that there will always be an adequate amount of cured, primed base ahead of the surfacing operations; but not so far ahead that the base will become dirty or completely cured (dead). If prime coat is applied in late spring or during the summer the following bituminous materials are acceptable for prime coat: RT-2, RT-3, RT-4, MC-30, MC-70, SS-1, SS-1h, cationic slow-setting emulsified asphalt (CSS)-1, and CSS-1h. During the cold months of the winter, use rapid-setting asphalt cutbacks such as RC-70 and RC-250. Treatment should be applied at a rate of

0.45 – 1.25 liters per square meter.

1.4.5 Aggregate Base Course: Shall consist of crushed stone containing angular shapes and surfaces with no rounded surfaces. The following types of rocks are acceptable crushed stone: granite and similar phanerocrystalline igneous rocks, limestone, dolomite (>11% magnesium oxide (MgO), sandstone, or metamorphic quartzite, or similar rocks.

Limestone shall be a carbonate rock containing less than 11% magnesium oxide (MgO).

All aggregates shall contain less than 5% of shale, clay lumps, coal, lignite, soft or unfragmented stone, or other deleterious materials.

1.4.5.1 Acceptable gradations are as indicated in the table below.

Source Acceptance Tests

Sieve Analysis (including 0.02 mm No. 635 size material).

Liquid limit and plasticity index.

Moisture-density relationship.

Wear.

Soundness.

Weight per cubic meter foot of Slag.

In-Place Tests Density tests shall be performed on every lift of material placed and at a frequency of one set of tests for every 250 square meters, or portion thereof, of completed area.

Sieve Analysis (including 0.02 mm No. 635 size material) shall be performed for every 50 metric tons of material placed.

Liquid limit and plasticity index tests shall be performed at the same frequency as the sieve analysis.

Weather No construction when near or below freezing.

Coarse Aggregate

Aggregate Base Course (ABC) coarse aggregate shall not show more than 50 percent loss when subjected to the Los Angeles abrasion test in accordance with ASTM C131. The amount of flat and elongated particles shall not exceed 30 percent. A flat particle is one having a ratio of width to thickness greater than 3; an elongated particle is one having a ratio of length to width greater than 3. In the portion retained on each sieve specified, the crushed aggregates shall contain at least 50 percent by weight of crushed pieces having two or more freshly fractured faces with the area of each face being at least equal to 75 percent of the smallest mid-sectional area of the piece. When two fractures are contiguous, the angle between planes of the fractures must be at least 30 degrees in order to count as two fractured faces.

Crushed gravel shall be manufactured from gravel particles 50 percent of which, by weight, are retained on the maximum size sieve listed in this table.

Fine Aggregate

The portion of any component or of the completed course passing the

0.425 mm No. 40 sieve shall be either non-plastic or have a liquid limit not greater than 25 and a plasticity index not greater than 5.

Blending The coarse and fine aggregates shall be mixed in a stationary plant, or in a traveling plant or bucket loader on an approved paved working area. Maximum lift is 150 mm.

Compaction Compaction shall continue until each layer has a degree of compaction that is at least 100 percent of laboratory maximum density through the full depth of the layer.

Thickness Requirements

The total compacted thickness of the base course shall be within 13 mm (1/2 inch) of the thickness indicated. Average job thickness shall be the average of all thickness measurements taken for the job, but shall be within 6 mm 1/4 inch of the thickness indicated. The total thickness of the base course shall be measured at intervals in such a manner as to ensure one measurement for each 500 square meters yards of base course. Measurements shall be made in 75 mm 3 inch diameter test holes penetrating the base course.

Finishing Grade and smoothness requirements. Maintain – limited traffic – no surface rutting.

1.4.5.2 Accepted Gradations for Aggregate Base Course:

1.4.6 Aggregate Base Preparation: The base should be well-graded, shaped to the desired cross-section (as specified by the typical cross-section plans), compacted to the specified density, well-drained, free from excessive moisture but not completely dry, and swept clean. Apply the tack coat when the base is almost dry so that it will absorb the prime material.

1.4.7 Tack Coat: Shall be a cutback asphalt, grades RC-70 or RC-250; an emulsified asphalt, grades MS-1, SS-1, SS-1h, CSS-1, CSS-1h; or an asphalt cement, grades AC- 2.5, 5, 10, AR-1000, 2000, or 4000 applied at a rate of 0.15 to 0.75 liters per square meter. The maximum application rate of .75 liters per square meter should not be exceeded as it may result in a bleeding and flushing action and loss of stability. The tack coat should become tacky within a few hours. A tack coat is not required on the primed base unless the prime coat has completely cured and become coated with dust.

1.4.8 Application Notes for Road-Mix Pavement:

1.4.8.1 Bitumen for Road-Mix: Ensure the base and sub-grade is well prepared and properly drained. The road mix will be laid in two lifts, each ranging from 2 inches in compacted depth.

The total thickness of the finished compacted road surface will be 3 ½ to 4 inches. Refer to the Mixed-in-place road mix row below in Table 2-2 for acceptable grades of asphalt cutbacks. Medium curing (MC) cutback is the most preferable. The mix gradation should be an open-graded mix. It shall contain coarse and fine particles in a continuous gradation.

However, it will not contain enough fine articles to fill the voids between large particles so it will be less dense.

1.4.8.2 Aggregate for Road-Mix: Aggregate should be hauled in from a nearby source. Do not scarify the aggregate from the existing sub-grade or base. Table 2-3 below shows the recommended gradation limits and Table 4-3 shows the suggested bituminous material content for each gradation. After blending the aggregate in windrows, take samples for sieve analysis. The gradation of the aggregate might have to be changed to meet specific field conditions. Acceptable deviations are-

Aggregate passing the # 4 sieve: +/- 7%

Aggregate passing the # 30 sieve: +/- 5%

Aggregate passing the #200 sieve: +/- 2%

The ideal aggregate will be well-graded, sandy gravel or clean sand. The maximum size of the aggregate is approximately 1 ¼ inch. Test for moisture content before mixing the aggregate with asphalt cutbacks. If the aggregate is too wet, use a mechanical mixer, a grader, or an improvised plow to allow the excess moisture to evaporate. The moisture content of CA should not exceed 3%.

Mix Proportions: The percentage of bituminous material shown in Table 4-3 below will vary in relation to the absorptive quality of the aggregate, the rate of evaporation of volatile substances, and other factors. With dense graded aggregates, do not use too much bituminous material.

Ensure that all particles of the mix are coated and uniform in color. If the mix is too lean, it will stand almost vertical in the windrow; if it is too rich, it readily flows back to its previous shape. If the mix is correctly proportioned, a handful squeezed into a ball retains its shape.

1.4.8.1 Construction: Construct the road-mix pavement on a dry base when it is not raining and the atmospheric temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius or 50 degrees F. Sequences of operations are as follows:

Inspect and recondition the base.

Prime the base and allow the prime to cure.

Place and windrow the aggregate at the side of the primed base and allow the aggregate to dry.

Spread the aggregate on the cured, primed base.

Spread the bituminous material on the aggregate in one-third increments.

Mix the bituminous material with the aggregate.

Blade and aerate the mix.

Spread the mix to the specified uncompacted thickness.

Compact the surface.

Apply Tack coat.

Repeat aggregate and bituminous mix process for second lift.

Apply seal coat if necessary.

This figure shows the typical sequence of operations:

1.4.8.2 If using cutback asphalt for spraying or mixing, heat it to a temperature of 80-200 degrees F (27-93 degrees C). Apply asphalt emulsions at 50 - 120 degrees F (10-50 degrees C) and tar at 80-225 degrees F (27-107 degrees C).
