a. Thomaston Dam Crest Road

The dam crest road measures approximately 2,000' in length and is divided into two sections, separated by a concrete spillway channel bridge. The average width of the road measures 18.5' and includes a small turnaround area measuring approximately 3,400ft2. The majority of the dam crest road has a wire guardrail, except for a steel guardrail section which measures approximately 100' in length in the roundabout on the northwest end. Refer to Informational Photos attachment for layout of the work area. Large cracks and voids have formed on the pavement. Some measure greater than 1" in separation. Approximately 1,000 linear feet of cracks exist on the dam crest road which will require repairs prior to seal coating. The dam crest road was last chip sealed approximately twelve years ago.

One pothole measuring approximately 24"W x 36"L and 2" deep will require square cutting of asphalt and repairing with asphalt patch (See Informational Photo 5).

Dam crest road can be closed off for use starting at the gate (see Informational Photos), so some means of closure will be necessary between Hill Road and the dam crest road gate.

12. Products:

a. Hot Pour Crack Filler

i. Must conform to ASTM D6690 Type II, ASTM D3405, AASHTO M324 Type II & AASHTO M301 requirements.

ii. Hot applied oil jacketed crack filler

iii. Must be tested to withstand temperatures below 0(d) F after curing.

b. Asphalt Mortar

i. Epoxy-based asphalt overlay mortar

ii. Aggregate size: 1/4" and smaller

c. Asphalt Emulsion Sealer

i. Water-based asphalt emulsion sealant

ii. Color: Flat black

iii. Must be tested to withstand temperatures below 0(d) F after curing.

d. Asphalt Patch

i. Cold-Mix, High-Performance (HP)

ii. Workable at temperatures between 0F and 100F

iii. Allows traffic flow after compaction and manufacturer recommended cure time.

Note: The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the sealant permanently bonds to the repair mortar. All products used must be compatible with each other to prevent material failure or delamination.

III. EXECUTION:

Installation of products and execution of work shall occur in accordance with the Statement of Work and all local, state, and federal requirements. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that all surfaces are prepared according to manufacturer's specifications before all products are applied. No products shall be applied if site conditions including humidity, temperature, or other factors are not within the manufacturer's specified ranges.

1. Dam Crest Road

a. Clear and repair all cracks along Dam Crest Road.

i. The Contractor shall remove all old sealant from cracks and voids by means of mechanical crack routing.

ii. The Contractor shall clear all cracks and voids of all loose particulates, or to a depth of 3" in places where the pavement has entirely split, by means of either high-pressure water or high-pressure air to ensure adhesion of new material.

iii. The Contractor shall fill all cracks and voids measuring more than 1" in separation and/or 1" in depth with asphalt mortar and compact newly added material.

iv. After newly added asphalt mortar has completely cured, the Contractor shall use a hot air lance to remove moisture and melt residual sealant before applying asphalt sealer atop all cracks and voids that were filled with new material.

v. The work area is a common path for pedestrians and vehicles. Although the dam road vehicle access gate can be closed by staff, the Contractor will be required to post signage, traffic cones, or some other visual aid to alert visitors to the application. Signage is required to remain onsite until the sealer has fully cured, at which point the Contractor is required to remove the visual aid.

vi. Hot pour crack filler and asphalt mortar will not be applied if conditions do not meet the manufacturer's specifications including humidity, temperature, or other factors. Project staff may postpone application of hot pour crack filler if weather reports are not within manufacturer's required ranges.

b. Repair Pothole Located between Hill Rd and Entry Gate (See Informational Photo 5)

i. Cut square or rectangular boundaries at least two inches (2") beyond the damaged perimeter.

ii. Remove loose asphalt, debris, and dirt and clean cavity thoroughly using compressed air or high-pressure water.

iii. If necessary, add 1" aggregate layer to form solid base and compact using hand tools.

iv. Apply thin, uniform coat of asphalt emulsion to vertical edges and bottom of cavity to act as adhesive binder.

v. If pothole is deeper than two inches (2"), material shall be placed in layers not to exceed two inches (2") thick and allowed to fully cure prior to application of more layers.

vi. Allow patch to fully cure before traffic is permitted.

c. Prepare the entire asphalt surface and apply an asphalt emulsion sealer. The sealant must be smooth and of uniform consistency after fully curing.

i. The Contractor is responsible for reclaiming the edge of the paved surface. Years of dirt and debris may have pushed the exposed edges inwards.

ii. During the application of asphalt emulsion sealer, the Contractor is responsible for deploying signage and traffic cones along the perimeter of the work area as a visual indicator to the public, particularly at the intersection of Hill Rd and the dam crest road and at the bottom of the pedestrian staircase from Vista parking area.

iii. No seal coat shall be applied to area of pothole under this contract to allow for proper curing of patch materials.

iv. All signage and traffic cones must remain in place for the entire cure time as listed in the manufacturer's specifications.
