Patching and Overlay Paving Low Gap Road, Rabun County, GA

Added: Jun 03, 2010 10:20 am PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Improvement of Low Gap Road on the Rabun County side. Work involves patching areas of the existing pavement that have failed and placing a 2-inch overlay along the entire portion of the road. Measurement and Payment shall be based on the square yard of patching and lineal tenth foot of roadway overlay. Total length of the project is 7,283 feet with approximately 1300 sq yd of deep patching and 25 sq yd of surface patching. For funding and award purposes, work is divided into a base bid length and three additive sections.



The resurfacing course shall be Recycled Asphaltic Concrete 9.5mm Superpave, applied at a spread rate of 165 lbs per square yard. Areas requiring patching shall be marked by the government and shall be patched according to the appropriate detail on the drawings. The patching will be accomplished using two different types of patching. The Type A, also known as a deep patch, will be done by saw cutting the existing asphalt in the designated locations and excavating a minimum of 2-feet. The removed material will be replaced with 18-inches of suitable backfill material, 2-inches of #57 stone and 4-inches of binder course asphalt mix. The Type B, also known as a surface patch, consists of cleaning the designated area from all debris, placing a layer of CRS-2 sealcoat and compacting #7 stone chips into the sealcoat to provide a bridge over the failed area. Upon completion of the patching, the Contractor shall overlay the roadway with 2-inches of Hot mix Superpave as stated above.
