JUNE 22, 2010 —2:00 P.M.
1225 MAIN STREET, SEBASTIAN
In attendance:
Frank Watanabe, P.E., Neel -Schaffer
Jerry Converse, Public Works Director, City of Sebastian
Linda Kinchen, Administrative Supervisor, City of Sebastian
Jeanette Williams, Recording Secretary
The Public Works Director called the meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. and introduced consulting engineer,
Frank Watanabe, Neel -Schaffer.
Mr. Watanabe said this was a mandatory pre-bid meeting for the Sebastian pavement overlay project with
different types of application: micro -surfacing and reclamation with a map labeled behind the bid specs.
He said bids would be opened July 10 at 2 p.m. and it was based on per unit cost. He said the specs for
full depth reclamation, the cement treated base, and the base rock will be e-mailed to everyone on Friday.
He said questions or comments should be submitted to him via e-mail to establish a paper trail by July 1s'
at 2 p.m. and he would send answers to everyone listed.
Question: Do you have to bid on all items.
Mr. Watanabe: No, if just want to go with standard paving you can go that route. There are three streets
recommended for full depth reclamation -Laconia, Easy, Periwinkle, and Schumann. He said Englar,
Concha, Main, and Tulip are recommended for micro -surfacing.
Question: So the bid can be two separate contractors
Public Works Director: Yes
Question: Will the split two up, need quantity of one
Ms. Kinchen: You will need to state your asphalt price per ton.
Question: You don't want us to measure roads.
Mr. Watanabe: Per unit cost, but you should look at the roads.
Question: Is the City going to decide how much is spent.
Ms. Kinchen: Yes, there is certain money set aside for paving, and certain money set aside for micro -
surfacing, so might have to drop out a street based on pricing.
Question: Is there an engineer estimate for the entire job
Mr. Watanabe: Yes, it can be sent out in an e-mail.
Questions: The prime and tack are two different pricing for materials.
Mr. Watanabe: Since there is such a difference, it will be separated out, a new bid sheet will be sent out
Friday.
Question: Milling and existing paving is for
Mr. Watanabe: We are still waiting for test results, if we don't have to touch the base that will be basic
milling and surfacing.
Question: How thick for the surface?
Mr. Watanabe: Probably two inches, but when he needs the test results to get the biggest bang for the
buck, so if can save money not doing the base to get more roads done, that will be done.
Question: So other three roads will definitely be full depth reclamation one end to other.
Mr. Watanabe: At this time there were four road approved for full depth reclamation and four for micro -
surfacing by City Council and at the same time they were given direction to get the most bang for buck so
the additional testings are need to check the base. The Public Works Directors added that the rock specs
will be added so if there are monies left over to do other roads, we want to do other roads.
Question: So the whole road may not need reclamation?
Mr. Watanabe: That is why we are waiting for the test results, if the base is good, just milling, and
resurfacing will be done. He said he would give everyone the test results on Friday.
Question: Will there be estimated quantities of each or limits.
Mr. Watanabe: Just limits
Question: What are you going to base the thickness of asphalt on?
Mr. Watanabe: That is why we need do get the geo technical test results in, but a total of two inches.
Ms. Kinchen said a''/2 inch of the leveling course and a 112 inch of layer course.
A comment was made that at least % inch is needed.
Question: Will there be base repair on micro -surfacing.
Ms. Kinchen said spot repair. Mr. Watanabe said the potholes and edging has to be taken care of prior to
the micro -surfacing application.
Question: Typically, cracked seal is a separate line item, not sure if interested in doing that.
The Public Works Director said a separate line item for cracked seal would be okay.
Question: Will the City use this contract down the line as well?
Mr. Watanabe said the City has a lot more streets but Council only funding for the listed streets.
Question: What is the intent of listing asphalt emulsion?
Mr. Watanabe said it was to be stabilization for full depth reclamation. Easy Street will cement treated
base because it has water problems.
Question: Will the costs such as cement be the other determining factor.
Mr. Watanabe said yes and he will let them know the test results to help them factor costs
Question: Can we take our own samples.
Ms. Kinchen said sure. Mr. Watanabe asked that they let the City know they will be out there.
Question: Will you have results you can share.
Mr. Watanabe said we have cores but not results. Mr. Watanabe asked that everyone receive the same
data at the same time Friday by e-mail.
Question: On page 6, article 1 the specs provide storm water certification for George Street
Mr. Watanabe said that was a mistake.
Question: Asphalt thickness
Mr. Watanabe said until they get the results, the asphalt can go up to three inches; it just depends on the
condition of the base.
Question: What about pipe crossings?
Mr. Watanabe said there are severable at different levels and he would get back to them on the crossings.
Being no further questions, Mr. Watanabe noted that only the contractors present would be allowed to bid
on the project, noting the sign up sheet would be provided to all and he adjourned the meeting at 2:22

The 1989 Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 458 creating Sections 287.132 - 133,
Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 1989. Section 287.132(3)(d), Florida Statutes, requires the
Florida Department of General Services to maintain and make available to other political entities
a 'convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who are disqualified from public
and purchasing process because they have been found guilty of a public entity crime. A public
entity crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or
Federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with
any public entity in Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with
the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for goods or services to be
provided to any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision and involving antitrust,
fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any Agreement to, or transact
any business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for
category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list for a
period of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list
unless that person or affiliate has been removed from the list pursuant to Section 287.133(3)(f),
Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October 1, 1990, prior to entering into an Agreement (formal
Agreement or purchase order) in excess of the threshold amount of $10,000 to provide goods or

SECTION 300
PR]ME AND TACK COATS FOR BASE COURSES
300-1 Description.
Apply bituminous prime coats on previously prepared bases, and apply bituminous tack
coats on previously prepared bases and on existing pavement surfaces.
300-2 Materials.
300-2.1 Prime Coat: For prime coat, use Cut-back Asphalt Grade RC -70 or RC -250
meeting the requirements of 916-3; Emulsified Asphalt Grades SS -1 or CSS -1, SS -1H, or
CSS -1H diluted in equal proportion with water; Emulsified Asphalt Grade AE -60, AE -90,
AE -150, or AE -200 diluted at the ratio of six parts emulsified asphalt to four parts water; Special
MS -Emulsion diluted at the ratio of six parts emulsified asphalt to four parts water; Asphalt
Emulsion Prime (AEP), Emulsion Prime (RS Type), or EPR -1 Prime meeting the requirements
of 916-4, or other types and grades of bituminous material which may be specified in the
Contract Documents.
Where the above materials for use as a prime coat are to be diluted, certify that the
dilution was done in accordance with this Section for each load of material used.
The Contractor may select any of the specified bituminous materials unless the
Contract Documents indicate the use of a specific material. The Engineer may allow types and
grades of bituminous material other than those specified above if the Contractor can show that
the alternate material will properly perform the function of prime coat material.
300-2.2 Cover Material for Prime Coat: Uniformly cover the primed base by a light
application of cover material. However, if using EPR -1 prime material, the Engineer may waive
the cover material requirement if the primed base is not exposed to general traffic and
construction traffic does not mar the prime coat so as to expose the base. The Contractor may use
either sand or screenings for the cover material. For the sand, meet the requirements as specified
in 902-2 or 902-6, and for the screenings, meet the requirements as specified in 902-5. If
exposing the primed base course to general traffic, apply a cover material that has been coated
with 2 to 4% asphalt cement. Apply the asphalt coated material at approximately 10 lb/yd2. Roll
the entire surface of asphalt coated prime material with a traffic roller as required to produce a
reasonably dense mat.
300-2.3 Tack Coat: Unless the Contract Documents call for a specific type or grade of
tack coat, use RA -500 meeting the requirements of 916-2, heated to a temperature of
250 to 300°F or undiluted Emulsified Asphalt Grades RS -1h, RS -2, CRS -1h, or NTSS-lhm
meeting the requirements of 916-4. Heat RS -1h, RS -2, CRS -1h, and NTSS-lhm to a temperature
of 150 to 180°F. The Contractor may use RS-lh modified to include up to 3% naphtha to
improve handling of the material during the winter months of December, January and February
or at any other time, as approved by the Engineer.
For night paving, use RA -500 tack coat. The Engineer may approve RS -1h, RS -2,
CRS -1b, or NTSS-lhm for night paving if the Contractor demonstrates, at the time of use, that
the emulsion will break and not affect the progress of the paving operation.
300-3 Equipment.
300-3.1 Pressure Distributor: Provide a pressure distributor that is equipped with
pneumatic tires having a sufficient width of rubber in contact with the road surface to avoid
breaking the bond or forming a rut in the surface. Ensure that the distance between the centers of
openings of the outside nozzles of the spray bar is equal to the width of the application required,
within an allowable variation of 2 inches. Ensure that the outside nozzle at each end of the spray
bar has an area of opening not less than 25% or more than 75% in excess of the other nozzles.
Ensure that all other nozzles have uniform openings. When the application covers less than the
full width, the Contractor may allow the normal opening of the end nozzle at the junction line to
remain the same as those of the interior nozzles.
300-3.2 Sampling Device: Equip all pressure distributors and transport tanks with an
approved spigot -type sampling device.
300-3.3 Temperature Sensing Device: Equip all pressure distributors and transport
tanks with an approved dial type thermometer.
Use a thermometer with a temperature range from 50 to 500°F with maximum
25°F increments with a minimum dial diameter of 2 inches.
Locate the thermometer near the midpoint in length and within the middle third of
the height of the tank, or as specified by the manufacturer (if in a safe and easily accessible
location). Enclose the thermometer in a well with a protective window or by other means as
necessary to keep the instrument clean and in the proper working condition.
3004 Contractor's Quality Control.
Provide the necessary quality control of the prime and tack coats and application in
accordance with the Contract requirements. Provide in the Quality Control Plan, procedures for
monitoring and controlling of rate of application. If the rate of application vanes by more than
5% from the rate set by the Engineer or varies beyond the range established in 300-7or 300-8,
immediately make all corrections necessary to bring the spread rate into the acceptable range.
The Engineer may take additional measurements at any time. The Engineer will randomly check
the Contractor's measurement to verify the spread rate.
300-5 Cleaning Base and Protection of Adjacent Work.
Before applying any bituminous material, remove all loose material, dust, dirt, caked clay
and other foreign material which might prevent proper bond with the existing surface for the full
width of the application. Take particular care in cleaning the outer edges of the strip to be treated,
to ensure that the prime or tack coat will adhere.
When applying the prime or tack coat adjacent to curb and gutter, valley gutter, or any
other concrete surfaces, cover such concrete surfaces, except where they are to be covered with a
bituminous wearing course, with heavy paper or otherwise protect them as approved by the
Engineer, while applying the prime or tack coat. Remove any bituminous material deposited on
such concrete surfaces.
300-6 Weather Limitations.
Do not apply prime and tack coats when the air temperature in the shade and away from
artificial heat is less than 40°F at the location where the application is to be made or when
weather conditions or the surface conditions are otherwise unfavorable.
300-7 Application of Prime Coat.
300-7.1 General: Clean the surface to be primed and ensure that the moisture content of
the base does not exceed the optimum moisture. Ensure that the temperature of the prime
material is between 100 and 150°F. The Engineer will designate the actual temperature to ensure
uniform distribution. Apply the material with a pressure distributor. Determine the application
amount based on the character of the surface. Use an amount sufficient to coat the surface
thoroughly and uniformly with no excess.
300-7.2 Rate of Application:
300-7.2.1 Limerock, Limerock Stabilized, and Local Rock Bases: For these
bases, use a rate of application that is not less than 0.10 gal/yd2, unless a lower rate is directed by
the Engineer. Determine the application rate at the beginning of each day's production, and as
needed to control the operation, a minimum of twice per day.
300-7.2.2 Sand -Clay, Shell and Shell Stabilized Bases: For these bases, use a
rate of application that is not less than 0.15 gal/yd2, unless a lower rate is directed by the
Engineer. Detemmine the application rate at the beginning of each day's production, and as
needed to control the operation, a minimum of twice per day.
300-7.3 Sprinkling: If so required by the Engineer, lightly sprinkle the base with water
and roll it with a traffic roller in advance of the application of the prime coat.
300-7.4 Partial Width of Application: If traffic conditions warrant, the Engineer may
require that the application be made on only 1/2 the width of the base at one time, in which case
use positive means to secure the correct amount of bituminous material at the joint.
300-8 Application of Tack Coat.
300-8.1 General: Where the Engineer requires a tack coat prior to laying a bituminous
surface, apply the tack coat as specified herein below.
300-8.2 Where Required: In general, the Engineer will not require a tack coat on primed
bases except in areas that have become excessively dirty and cannot be cleaned, or in areas where
the prime has cured to the extent that it has lost all bonding effect. Place a tack coat on all asphalt
base courses before placing the structural course.
300-83 Method of Application: Apply the tack coat with a pressure distributor except
that on small jobs, if approved by the Engineer, apply it by other mechanical devices or by hand
methods. Heat the bituminous material to a suitable temperature as designated by the Engineer,
and apply it in a thin, uniform layer.
300-8.4 Rate of Application: Use a rate of application as defined in Table 300-1. Control
the rate of application to be within t 0.01 gal/yd2 of the target application rate. The target
application rate may be adjusted by the Engineer to meet specific field conditions. Determine the
rate of application a minimum of twice per day, once at the beginning of each day's production
and as needed to control the operation. When using RA -550, multiply the target rate of
application by 0.6.

300-8.5 Curing and Time of Application: The Engineer will designate the curing period
for the tack coat. Apply the tack coat sufficiently in advance of the laying of the bituminous mix
to permit drying, but do not apply the tack coat so far in advance that it inight lose its
adhesiveness as a result of being covered with dust or other foreign material.
300-8.6 Protection: Keep the tack coat surface free from traffic until the subsequent layer
of bituminous hot mix has been laid.
300-9 Method of Measurement.
300-9.1 General: The quantity specified will be the volume, in gallons of bituminous
material actually applied and accepted. This spread rate will be determined from measurements
made by the Contractor and verified by the Engineer based on tank calibrations, as specified in
300-9.2. Where it is specified that prime coat or tack coat material is to be diluted with water, the
amount specified for the spread rate will be the volume after dilution.
300-9.2 Calibration of Tanks: Ensure that all distributors used for applying tack or
prime coats are calibrated prior to use by a reliable and recognized firm engaged in calibrating
tanks. Provide a certification of calibration and the calibration chart to the Engineer prior to use.
In lieu of a volumetrically calibrated distributor, use a distributor that is equipped with a
calibrated meter and is approved by the Engineer.
300-9.3 Temperature Correction: Measure the volume and increase or decrease the
volume actually measured to a corrected volume at a temperature of 60°F.
Make the correction for temperature by applying the applicable conversion factor
(K), as shown below.
For petroleum oils having a specific gravity (60°F/60°F) above 0.966, K = 0.00035
per degree.
For petroleum oils having a specific gravity (60°F/60°F) of between 0.850 and
0.966, K = 0.00040 per degree.
For emulsified asphalt, K = 0.00025 per degree.
When volume -correction tables based on the above conversion factors are not
available, use the following formula in computing the corrections for volumetric change:
Where:
V=
VI
K(T-60)+1
V= Volume of the bituminous material at 60°F (pay volume).
V 1= Volume of bituminous material as measured.
K= Correction factor (Coefficient of Expansion).
T= Temperature (in °F), of the bituminous material when measured.
300-10 Basis of Payment
Price and payment will be full compensation for all work specified in this Section,
including labor and equipment for the emulsified asphalt per gallon.
SECTION 327
MILLING OF EXISTING ASPHALT PAVEMENT
327-1 Description.
Remove existing asphalt concrete pavement by milling to improve the rideability and
cross slope of the finished pavement, to lower the finished grade adjacent to existing curb prior
to resurfacing, or to completely remove existing pavement.
When milling to improve rideability, the plans will specify an average depth of cut.
Take ownership of milled material.
327-2 Equipment.
Provide a milling machine capable of maintaining a depth of cut and cross slope that will
achieve the results specified in the Contract Documents. Use a machine with a minimum overall
length (out to out measurement excluding the conveyor) of 18 feet and a minimum cutting width
of 6 feet.
Equip the milling machine with a built-in automatic grade control system that can control
the transverse slope and the longitudinal profile to produce the specified results.
To start the project, the Engineer will approve any commercially manufactured milling
machine that meets the above requirements. If it becomes evident after starting milling that the
milling machine cannot consistently produce the specified results, the Engineer will reject the
milling machine for further use.
The Contractor may use a smaller milling machine when milling to lower the grade
adjacent to existing curb or other areas where it is impractical to use the above described
equipment.
Equip the milling machine with means to effectively limit the amount of dust escaping
during the removal operation.
For complete pavement removal, the Engineer may approve the use of alternate removal
and crushing equipment in lieu of the equipment specified above.
327-3 Construction.
327-3.1 General: Remove the existing raised reflective pavement markers prior to
milling. Include the cost of removing existing pavement markers in the price for milling.
When milling to improve rideability or cross slope, remove the existing pavement
to the average depth specified in the plans, in a manner that will restore the pavement surface to a
uniform cross-section and longitudinal profile. The Engineer may require the use of a stringline
to ensure maintaining the proper alignment.
Establish the longitudinal profile of the milled surface in accordance with the
milling plans. Ensure that the final cross slope of the milled surface parallels the surface cross
slope shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. Establish the cross slope of the milled
surface by a second sensing device near. the outside edge of the cut or by an automatic cross slope
control mechanism. The plans may waive the requirement of automatic grade or cross slope
controls where the situation warrants such action.
Operate the milling machine to minimize the amount of dust being emitted. The
Engineer may require prewetting of the pavement.
Provide positive drainage of the milled surface and the adjacent pavement.
Perform this operation on the same day as milling. Repave all milled surfaces no later than the
day after the surface was milled unless otherwise stated in the plans.
If traffic is to be maintained on the milled surface prior to the placement of the
new asphalt concrete, provide suitable transitions between areas of varying thickness to create a
smooth longitudinal riding surface. Produce a pattern of striations that will provide an acceptable
riding surface. The Engineer will control the traveling speed of the milling machine to produce a
texture that will provide an acceptable riding surface.
Prior to opening an area which has been milled to traffic, sweep the pavement
with a power broom or other approved equipment to remove, to the greatest extent practicable,
fine material which will create dust under traffic. Sweep in a manner that will minimize the
potential for creation of a traffic hazard and to minimize air pollution.
Sweep the milled surface with a power broom prior to placing asphalt concrete.
In urban and other sensitive areas, use a street sweeper or other equipment capable
of removing excess milled materials and controlling dust. Obtain the Engineer's approval of such
equipment, contingent upon its demonstrated ability to do the work.
Perform the sweeping operation immediately after the milling operations or as
directed by the Engineer.
327-3.2 Quality Control Requirements: Furnish an electronic level with a length of 4
feet and an accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 degree approved by the Engineer for the control of
cross slope. Make this electronic level available at the jobsite at all times during milling
operations. Calibrate and compare electronic levels in accordance with 330-12.3.1 at a minimum
frequency of once per day before any milling operation.
Multiple cuts may be made to achieve the required pavement configuration or
depth of cut. Measure the cross slope of the milled surface by placing the level at the center
location of a lane and perpendicular to the roadway centerline. Record all the measurements to
the nearest 0.1% on an approved form and submit to the Engineer for documentation.
1. Tangent Sections: Measure the cross slope per lane at a minimum
frequency of one measurement every 100 feet. Calculate the absolute deviation of cross slope at
each measurement and then average the absolute deviation of ten consecutive cross slope
measurements. The absolute deviation is the positive value of a deviation. When the average
absolute deviation cross slope is consistently within the acceptance tolerance as shown in Table
327-1 and upon approval by the Engineer, the frequency of the cross slope measurements can be
reduced to one measurement every 200 feet during milling operations..
2. Superelevated Sections: Measure the cross slope every 100 feet per lane
within the length of full superelevation. Calculate the absolute deviation of each measurement
and then average the absolute deviation of ten consecutive cross slope measurements. For every
transition section, measure the cross slope at control points identified in the plans or, if not
shown in the plans, at a control point at a location of 0.0% cross slope. For curves where the
length of the fully superelevated section is less than 250 feet, measure the cross slope at the
beginning point, midpoint and ending point of the fully superelevated section, calculate the
absolute deviation and average. When the number of measurements is less than ten and the
length of full superelevation is greater than 250 feet, average the absolute deviation of all
measurements.
If the average absolute deviation of the cross slope measurements falls outside the
acceptance tolerance shown in Table 327-1, stop the milling operations and make adjustments
until the problem is resolved to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If an individual cross slope
deviation falls outside the acceptance tolerance as shown in Table 327-1, make corrections only
in the deficient area to the satisfaction of the Engineer at no cost to the Department. For
pavement with multiple cuts, the deficient areas not caused by the final cut may be left in place
upon approval of the Engineer. All milling corrections shall be completed before placement of
the asphalt course unless stated otherwise in the plans or as determined by the Engineer.
The limits of deficient areas requiring correction may be verified and adjusted
with more accurate measurement methods, including survey instruments, upon approval by the
Engineer at no cost to the Department. Should the Contractor wish to have any corrections
waived, submit a request to the Engineer for approval. The Engineer may waive the corrections at
no reduction in payment if an engineering determination indicates that the deficiencies are
sufficiently separated so as not to significantly affect the final cross slope or project grade.
For intersections, tapers, crossovers, transitions at the beginning and end of the
project, bridge approaches and similar areas, adjust the cross slope to match the actual site
conditions, or as directed by the Engineer.

In the event that the distance between tow edges of deficient areas is less than 100
feet, the correction work shall include the area between the deficient sections.
327-3.3 Verification: The Engineer will verify the Contractor's cross slope
measurements by randomly taking a minimum of ten cross slope measurements per lane per mile
in tangent sections, control points in transition sections, and a minimum of three cross slope
measurements on fully superelevated sections. The Engineer will measure the cross slope of the
milled surface by placing the level at the center location of a lane and perpendicular to the
roadway centerline. If the average absolute deviation or an individual cross slope deviation falls
outside the acceptance tolerance as shown in Table 327-1, immediately make a comparison check
at the QC test locations to verify the QC measurements in the questionable section. If the
comparisons are beyond the acceptable comparison tolerance in accordance with 327-3.2, stop
the milling operation until the problem is resolved to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Correct any
cross slope not meeting the individual deviation acceptance tolerance at no cost to the
Department. The Engineer reserves the right to check the cross slope of the milled surface at any
time by taking cross slope measurements at any location.
327-4 Milled Surface.
Provide a milled surface with a reasonably uniform texture, within 1/4 inch of a true
profile grade, and with no deviation in excess of 1/4 inch from a straightedge applied to the
pavement perpendicular to the centerline. Ensure that the variation of the longitudinal joint
between multiple cut areas does not exceed 1/4 inch. The Engineer may accept areas varying
from a true surface in excess of the above stated tolerance without correction if the Engineer
determines that they were caused by a pre-existing condition which could not have reasonably
been corrected by the milling operations. Correct any unsuitable texture or profile, as determined
by the Engineer, at no additional expense to the Department.
The Engineer may require remilling of any area where a surface lamination causes a non-
uniform texture to occur.
327-5 Method of Measurement.
The quantity to be paid for will be the plan quantity area, in square yards, over which
milling is completed and accepted.
327-6 Basis of Payment.
Price and payment will be full compensation for all work specified in this Section,
including hauling off and stockpiling or otherwise disposing of the milled material.
Payment will be made under:

HOT MIX ASPHALT FOR LOCAL AGENCIES
334-1 Description.
334-1.1 General: Construct a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement based on the type of
work specified in the Contract and the Asphalt Work Categories as defined below. Meet the
applicable requirements for plants, equipment, and construction requirements as defined below.
Use a HMA mix that meets the requirements of this specification.
334-1.2 Asphalt Work Mia Categories: Construction of Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement
will fall into one of the following work categories:
334-1.2.1 Asphalt Work Category 1: Includes the construction of bike paths.
334-1.2.2 Asphalt Work Category 2: Includes the construction of new HMA
tum lanes, paved shoulders and other non -mainline pavement locations.
334-1.2.3 Asphalt Work Category 3: Includes the construction of new mainline
HMA pavement lanes, milling and resurfacing.
334-1.3 Mix Types: Construct a HMA pavement with the type of mixture specified in

A Type SP or FC mix one traffic level higher than the traffic level specified in the
Contract may be substituted, at no additional cost (i.e. Traffic Level B may be substituted for
Traffic Level A, etc.). Traffic levels are as defined in section 334 of the Department's Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
334-1.4 Gradation Classification: HMA mixes are classified as either coarse or fine,
depending on the overall gradation of the mixture. Coarse and fine mixes are defined in
334-3.2.2. Use only fine mixes.
The equivalent AASHTO nominal maximum aggregate size Superpave mixes are
as follows:
Type SP -9.5, FC-9.5............................................................. 9.5 mm
Type SP -12.5, FC -12.5 ....................................................... 12.5 mm
334-1.5 Thickness: The total pavement thickness of the HMA Pavement will be based on
a specified spread rate or plan thickness as shown in the Contract Documents. Before paving,
propose a spread rate or thickness for each individual layer meeting the requirements of this
specification, which when combined with other layers (as applicable) will equal the plan spread
rate or thickness. When the total pavement thickness is specified as plan thickness, the plan
thickness and individual layer thickness will be converted to spread rate using the following
equation:
Spread rate (lbs/yd2) = t x G,,,,,, x 43.3
where: t = Thickness (in.) (Plan thickness or individual layer thickness)
G,,,,,, = Maximum specific gravity from the mix design
For target purposes only, spread rate calculations shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number.
334-1.5.1 Layer Thicknesses: Unless otherwise called for in the Contract
Documents, the allowable layer thicknesses for HMA mixtures are as follows:
Type SP -9.5, FC -9.5 ..............................................3/4 - 1 1/2 inches
Type SP -12.5, FC -12.5 .......................................1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inches
334-1.5.2 Additional Requirements: The following requirements also apply to
HMA mixtures:
1. When construction includes the paving of adjacent shoulders (<5 feet
wide), the layer thickness for the upper pavement layer and shoulder shall be the same and paved
in a single pass, unless otherwise called for in the Contract Documents.
2. For overbuild layers, use the minimum and maximum layer thicknesses
as specified above unless called for differently in the Contract Documents. On variable thickness
overbuild layers, the minimum allowable thickness may be reduced by 1/2 inch, and the
maximum allowable thickness may be increased by 1/2 inch, unless called for differently in the
Contract Documents.
334-1.6 Weight of Mixture: The weight of the mixture shall be determined as provided
in 320-2.2 of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) specifications.
334-2 Materials.
334-2.1 Superpave Asphalt Binder: Unless specified elsewhere in the Contract or in
334-2.3.3, use a PG 67-22 asphalt binder from the FDOT's Qualified Products List (QPL). If the
Contract calls for an alternative binder, meet the requirements of FDOT Specifications Section
336 or 916, as appropriate.
334-2.2 Aggregate: Use aggregate capable of producing a quality pavement. For
Category 2 and 3 projects, require the aggregate supplier to certify that the material meets FDOT
requirements.
For Type FC mixes, use an aggregate blend that consists of crushed granite,
crushed Oolitic limestone, other crushed materials (as approved by FDOT for friction courses per
Rule 14-103.005, Florida Administrative Code), or a combination of the above. Crushed
limestone from the Oolitic formation may be used if it contains a minimum of 12% silica
material as determined by FDOT Test Method FM 5-510 and FDOT grants approval of the
source prior to its use. As an exception, mixes that contain a minimum of 60% crushed granite
may either contain: 1) up to 40% fine aggregate from other sources or 2) a combination of up to
20% RAP and the remaining fine aggregate from other sources.
A list of aggregates approved for use in friction courses may be available on the
FDOT's website. The URL for obtaining this information, if available, is:
www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/quality/programs/qualitycontrol/materialslistings/sources
/frictioncourse.pdf.
334-2.3 Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Material:
334-2.3.1 General requirements: RAP may be used as a component of the
asphalt mixture, if approved by the Engineer. Usage of RAP is subject to the following
requirements:
1. Limit the amount of RAP material used in the mix to a maximum of 50
percent by weight of total aggregate.
2. Provide stockpiled RAP material that is reasonably consistent in
characteristics and contains no aggregate particles which are soft or conglomerates of fines.
3. Provide RAP material having a minimum average asphalt content of 4.0
percent by weight of total mix. The Engineer may sample the stockpile to verify that this
requirement is met.
4. Use a grizzly or grid over the RAP cold bin, in-line roller crusher,
screen, or other suitable means to prevent oversized RAP material from showing up in the
completed recycle mixture. If oversized RAP material appears in the completed recycle mix,
take the appropriate corrective action immediately. If the appropriate corrective actions are not
immediately taken, stop plant operations.
334-23.2 Material Characterization: Assume responsibility for establishing the
asphalt binder content, gradation, viscosity and bulk specific gravity (Gsb) of the RAP material
based on a representative sampling of the material.
334-233 Asphalt Binder for Mixes with RAP: Select the appropriate asphalt
binder grade based on Table 334-2. Maintain the viscosity of the recycled mixture within the
range of 5,000 to 15,000 poises.

334-3 Composition of Mixture.
334-3.1 General: Compose the asphalt mixture using a combination of aggregates,
mineral filler, if required, and asphalt binder material. Size, grade and combine the aggregate
fractions to meet the grading and physical properties of the mix design. Aggregates from various
sources may be combined.
334-3.2 Mix Design:
334-3.2.1 General: Design the asphalt mixture in accordance with AASHTO
R35-04, except as noted herein. Submit the proposed mix design with supporting test data
indicating compliance with all mix design criteria to the Engineer. Prior to the production of any
asphalt mixture, obtain the Engineer's conditional approval of the mix design. If required by the
Engineer, send representative samples of all component materials, including asphalt binder to a
laboratory designated by the Engineer for verification. The Engineer will consider any marked
variations from original test data for a mix design or any evidence of inadequate field
performance of a mix design as sufficient evidence that the properties of the mix design have
changed, and at his discretion, the Engineer may no longer allow the use of the mix design.
334-3.2.2 Mixture Gradation Requirements: Combine the aggregates in
proportions that will produce an asphalt mixture meeting all of the requirements defined in this
specification and conform to the gradation requirements at design as defined in AASHTO
M323-04, Table 3. Aggregates from various sources may be combined.
334-3.2.2.1 Mixture Gradation Classification: Plot the combined
mixture gradation on an FHWA 0.45 Power Gradation Chart. Include the Control Points from
AASHTO M323-04, Table -3, as well as the Primary Control Sieve (PCS) Control Point from
AASHTO M323-04, Table 4. Fine mixes are defined as having a gradation that passes above or
through the primary control sieve control point. Use only fine mixes.
334-3.2.3 Gyratory Compaction: Compact the design mixture in accordance
with AASHTO T312-04. Use the number of gyrations as defined in AASHTO R35-04, Table 1.
334-3.2.4 Design Criteria: Meet the requirements for nominal maximum
aggregate size as defined in AASHTO M323-04, as well as for relative density, VMA, VFA, and
dust -to -binder ratio as specified in AASHTO M323-04, Table 6.
334-3.2.5 Moisture Susceptibility: Test 4 inch specimens in accordance with
FM 1-T 283. Provide a mixture having a retained tensile strength ratio of at least 0.80 and a
minimum tensile strength (unconditioned) of 100 psi. If necessary, add a liquid anti -stripping
agent from the FDOT's Qualified Products List, or hydrated lime in order to meet these criteria.
In lieu of moisture susceptibility testing, add a liquid anti -stripping agent
from the FDOT's Qualified Products List. Add 0.5% liquid anti -stripping agent by weight of
binder.
334-3.2.6 Additional Information: In addition to the requirements listed above,
provide the following information on each mix design:
1. The design traffic level and the design number of gyrations (Nd�ip).

representative of the material at the time of use. Compensate for any change in aggregate
gradation caused by handling and processing as necessary.
5. A single percentage of the combined mineral aggregate passing each
specified sieve. Degradation of the aggregate due to processing (particularly material passing the
No. 200 sieve) should be accounted for and identified.
6. The bulk specific gravity (G5b) value for each individual aggregate and
RAP component.
7. A single percentage of asphalt binder by weight of total mix intended to
be incorporated in the completed mixture, shown to the nearest 0.1 percent.
8. A target temperature at which the mixture is to be discharged from the
plant and a target roadway temperature. Do not exceed a target temperature of 330°F for
modified asphalts and 315°F for unmodified asphalts.
9. Provide the physical properties achieved at four different asphalt binder
contents. One shall be at the optimum asphalt content, and must conform to all specified physical
requirements.
10. The name of the Mix Designer.
11. The ignition oven calibration factor.
3344 Contractor Quality Control.
Assume full responsibility for controlling all operations and processes such that the
requirements of these Specifications are met at all times. Perform any tests necessary at the plant
and roadway for quality control purposes.
334-5 General Construction Requirements.
334-5.1 Weather Limitations: Do not transport asphalt mix from the plant to the
roadway unless all weather conditions are suitable for the laying operations.
334-5.2 Limitations of Laying Operations:
334-5.2.1 General: Spread the mixture only when the surface upon which it is to
be placed has been previously prepared, is intact, firm, and properly cured, and is dry.
334-5.2.2 Air Temperature: Spread the mixture only when the air temperature in
the shade and away from artificial heat is at least 40°F for layers greater than 1 inch (100lb/yd Z)
in thickness and at least 45°F for layers 1 inch (100 lb/ydZ) or less in thickness (this includes
leveling courses). The minimum temperature requirement for leveling courses with a spread rate
of 50 lb/y& or less is 50°F.
334-5.3 Mia Temperature: Heat and combine the ingredients of the mix in such a
manner as to produce a mixture with a temperature at the plant and at the roadway, within a
range of f30°F from the target temperature as shown on the mix design. Reject all loads outside
of this range.
334-5.4 Transportation of the Mixture: Transport the mixture in vehicles previously
cleaned of all foreign material. After cleaning, thinly coat the inside surface of the truck bodies
with soapy water or an asphalt release agent as needed to prevent the mixture from adhering to
the beds. Do not allow excess liquid to pond in the truck body. Do not use diesel fuel or any
other hazardous or environmentally detrimental material as a coating for the inside surface of the
truck body. Cover each load at all times.
334-5.5 Preparation of Surfaces Prior to Paving:
334-5.5.1 Cleaning: Clean the surface of all loose and deleterious material by the
use of power brooms or blowers, supplemented by hand brooming where necessary.
334-5.5.2 Patching and Leveling Courses: Where the HMA is to be placed on
an existing pavement which is irregular, wherever the plans indicate, or if directed by the
Engineer, bring the existing surface to proper grade and cross-section by the application of
patching or leveling courses.
334-5.53 Application over Surface Treatment: Where an asphalt mix is to be
placed over a surface treatment, sweep and dispose of all loose material from the paving area.
334-5.5.4 Tack Coat: Apply a tack coat on existing pavement structures that are
to be overlaid with an asphalt mix and between successive layers of all asphalt mixes, unless
directed otherwise by the Engineer. Use a tack coat product meeting FDOT specifications. Use
an emulsified tack coat spread rate of 0.02 to 0.08 gal/sy or as specified by the Engineer.
334-5.6 Paving:
334-5.6.1 Alignment of Edges: With the exception of pavements placed adjacent
to curb and gutter or other true edges, place all pavements by the stringline method to obtain an
accurate, uniform alignment of the pavement edge. Control the unsupported pavement edge to
ensure that it will not deviate more than f 1.5 inches from the stringline.
334-5.6.2 Rain and Surface Conditions: Immediately cease transportation of
asphalt mixtures from the plant when rain begins at the roadway. Do not place asphalt mixtures
while rain is falling, or when there is water on the surface to be covered. Once the rain has
stopped and water has been removed from the tacked surface to the satisfaction of the Engineer
and the temperature of the mixture caught in transit still meets the requirements as specified in
334-5.3, the Contractor may then place the mixture caught in transit.
334-5.63 Checking Depth of Layer: Check the depth of each layer at frequent
intervals, and make adjustments when the thickness exceeds the allowable tolerance of 1/4".
Address any material outside of this tolerance per the direction of the Engineer. When making an
adjustment, allow the paving machine to travel a minimum distance of 32 feet to stabilize before
the second check is made to determine the effects of the adjustment.
334-5.6.4 Hand Spreading: In limited areas where the use of the spreader is
impossible or impracticable, spread and finish the mixture by hand.
334-5.6.5 Spreading and Finishing: Upon arrival, dump the mixture in the
approved paver, and immediately spread and strike -off the mixture to the full width required, and
to such loose depth for each course that, when the work is completed, the required weight of
mixture per square yard, or the specified thickness, is secured. Carry a uniform amount of
mixture ahead of the screed at all times.
334-5.6.6 Thickness of Layers: Construct each course of Type SP mixtures in
layers of the thickness shown in 334-1.5.1.
334-5.7 Leveling Courses:
334-5.7.1 Patching Depressions: Before spreading any leveling course, fill all
depressions in the existing surface more than 1 inch deep by spot patching with leveling course
mixture, and compact thoroughly.
334-5.7.2 Spreading Leveling Courses: Place all courses of leveling with an
asphalt paver or by the use of two motor graders, one being equipped with a spreader box. Other
types of leveling devices may be used upon approval by the Engineer.
334-5.73 Rate of Application: When using Type SP -9.5 (fine graded) for
leveling, do not allow the average spread of a layer to be less than 501b/yd2 or more than 75
lb/yd2. The quantity of mix for leveling shown in the plans represents the average for the entire
project; however, the Contractor may vary the rate of application throughout the project as
directed by the Engineer. When leveling in connection with base widening, the Engineer may
require placing all the leveling mix prior to the widening operation.
334-5.8 Compaction: For each paving or leveling train in operation, furnish a separate
set of rollers, with their operators.
When density testing for acceptance is required (Asphalt Work Category 3), select
equipment, sequence, and coverage of rolling to meet the specified density requirement.
Regardless of the rolling procedure used, complete the final rolling before the surface
temperature of the pavement drops to the extent that effective compaction may not be achieved
or the rollers begin to damage the pavement.
When density testing for acceptance is not required (Asphalt Work Categories 1
and 2), use a rolling pattern approved by the Engineer.
Use hand tamps or other satisfactory means to compact areas which are
inaccessible to a roller, such as areas adjacent to curbs, headers, gutters, bridges, manholes, etc.
334-5.9 Joints.
334-5.9.1 Transverse Joints: Construct smooth transverse joints, which are
within 3/16 inch of a true longitudinal profile when measured with a 15 foot manual
straightedge.
334-5.9.2 Longitudinal Joints: For all layers of pavement except the leveling
course, place each layer so that longitudinal construction joints are offset 6 to 12 inches laterally
between successive layers. Do not construct longitudinal joints in the wheelpaths. The Engineer
may waive these requirement where offsetting is not feasible due to the sequence of construction.
334-5.10 Surface Requirements: Construct a smooth pavement with good surface
texture and the proper cross -slope.
334-5.10.1 Texture of the Finished Surface of Paving Layers: Produce a
finished surface of uniform texture and compaction with no pulled, torn, raveled, crushed or
loosened portions and free of segregation, bleeding, flushing, sand streaks, sand spots, or ripples.
Correct any area of the surface that does not meet the foregoing requirements in accordance with
334-5.10.4.
334-5.10.2 Cross Slope: Construct a pavement surface with cross slopes in
compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
334-5.10.3 Pavement Smoothness: Construct a smooth pavement meeting the
requirements of this Specification. Furnish a 15 foot manual and a 15 foot rolling straightedge
meeting the requirements of FM 5-509. Make them available at the job site at all times during
paving operations for Asphalt Work Category 3 and make them available upon request of the
Engineer for Asphalt Work Categories 1 and 2.
334-5.103.1 Asphalt Work Category 3:
334-5.103.1.1 Acceptance Testing: Using a rolling straightedge,
test the final Type SP structural layer and the Type FC layer, where a friction course is called,for
in the Contract. Test all pavement lanes where the width is constant using a rolling straightedge
and document all deficiencies on a form approved by the Engineer. Notify the Engineer of the
location and time of all straightedge testing a minimum of 48 hours before beginning testing.
334-5.103.1.2 Rolling Straightedge Exceptions: Testing with the
rolling straightedge will not be required in the following areas: intersections, tapers, crossovers,
parking lots and similar areas. In addition, testing with the rolling straightedge will not be
performed on the following areas when they are less than 50 feet in length: tum lanes,
acceleration/deceleration lanes and side streets. However, correct any individual surface
irregularity in these areas that deviates from the plan grade in excess of 3/8 inch as determined
by a 15 foot manual straightedge, and that the Engineer deems to be objectionable, in accordance
with 334-5.10.4. The Engineer may waive or modify straightedging requirements if no milling,
leveling, overbuild or underlying structural layer was placed on the project and the underlying
layer was determined to be exceptionally irregular.
334-5.103.1.3 Final Type SP Structural Layer: Straightedge the
final Type SP structural layer with a rolling straightedge behind the final roller of the paving
train or as a separate operation. Address all deficiencies in excess of 3/16 inch in accordance
with 334-5.10.4.2. If the Type SP layer is to be the final surface, corrections may be waived by
the Engineer. Retest the corrected areas.
334-5.10.3.1.4 Friction Course Layer: Where a friction course is
called for in the Contract, at the completion of all paving operations, straightedge the friction
course either behind the final roller of the paving train or as a separate operation. Address all
deficiencies in excess of 3/16 inch in accordance with 334-5.10.4.3, unless waived by the
Engineer. Retest all corrected areas.
334-5.103.2 Asphalt Work Categories 1 and 2: If required by the
Engineer, straightedge the final structural layer with a rolling straightedge, either behind the final
roller of the paving train or as a separate operation. Correct all deficiencies in excess of 5/16 inch
in accordance with 334-5.10.4.2. Retest all corrected areas. If the Engineer determines that the
deficiencies on a bicycle path are due to field geometrical conditions, the Engineer will waive
corrections with no deduction to the pay item quantity.
334-5.10.4 Correcting Unacceptable Pavement:
334-5.10.4.1 General: Correct all areas of unacceptable pavement at no
additional cost.
334-5.10.4.2 Structural Layers: Correct deficiencies in the Type SP
structural layer by one of the following methods:
a. Remove and replace the full depth of the layer, extending
a minimum of 50 feet on both sides of the defective area for the full width of the paving lane.
b. Mill the pavement surface to a depth and width that is
adequate to remove the deficiency. (This option only applies if the structural layer is not the final
surface layer.)
334-5.10.4.3 Friction Course: Correct deficiencies in the friction course
layer by removing and replacing the full depth of the layer, extending a minimum of 50 feet on
both sides of the defective area for the full width of the paving lane.
334-6 Acceptance of the Mixture.
334-6.1 General: The asphalt mixture will be accepted based on the Asphalt Work
Category as defined below:

utilize an Independent Laboratory as approved by the Engineer for the quality control testing.
The mix will also require visual acceptance by the Engineer. In addition, the Engineer may run
independent tests to determine the acceptability of the material.
334-6.3.1 Quality Control Sampling and Testing Requirements: Perform
quality control testing at a frequency of once per day. Obtain the samples in accordance with
FDOT Method FM 1-T 168. Test the mixture at the plant for gradation (P_s and P_Zoo) and asphalt
binder content (Pb). Test the mixture on the roadway for density using six-inch diameter roadway
cores obtained at a frequency of three cores per day.
Determine the asphalt content of the mixture in accordance with
FM 5-563. Determine the gradation of the recovered aggregate in accordance with FM 1-T 030.
Determine the roadway density in accordance with FM 1-T 166. The minimum roadway density
will be based on the percent of the maximum specific gravity (Gmm) from the approved mix
design. If the Contractor or Engineer suspects that the mix design Gmm is no longer
representative of the asphalt mixture being produced, then a new Gmm value will be determined
from plant -produced mix with the approval of the Engineer. Roadway density testing will not be
required in certain situations as described in 334-6.4.1. Assure that the asphalt content, gradation

MICRO -SURFACING.
(REV 1-20-09)
PAGE 291.The following new Section is added after Section 334.
SECTION 335
MICRO -SURFACING
335-1 Description.
Construct a micro -surfacing pavement with the type of mixture specified in the Contract.
Meet the general construction requirements of Section 330, except as modified herein. Micro -
surfacing is a mixture of polymer -modified asphalt emulsion, mineral aggregate, mineral filler,
water, and other additives, properly proportioned, mixed and spread on a paved surface.
The mix shall be capable of being spread in variable thickness cross-sections (wedges,
ruts, scratch courses and surfaces) which, after curing and initial traffic consolidation, resists
compaction throughout the entire design tolerance range of asphalt binder content and variable
thickness to be encountered. The end product should maintain a skid -resistant surface in variable
thick sections throughout the service life of the micro -surfacing.
The mix shall be a quick -traffic system that will be able to accept traffic two hours after
application. Longer time periods will be acceptable, if approved by the Engineer.
335-2 Materials.
335-2.1 Emulsified Asphalt:
335-2.1.1 General Requirements: Provide a quick -traffic, polymer -modified
asphalt emulsion conforming to the requirements specified in AASHTO M 208 for CSS -1h. The
cement mixing test shall be waived for this emulsion.
The polymer material shall be milled or blended into the asphalt or
emulsifier solution prior to the emulsification process.
The minimum amount and type of polymer modifier shall be determined
by the laboratory performing the mix design. The minimum amount required will be based on
the asphalt content (by weight) and will be certified by the emulsion supplier; however, the
amount shall not be less than three percent polymer solids.
The Engineer may waive the five-day settlement test, provided job -stored
emulsion is used within thirty-six hours from the time of the shipment or the stored material has
had additional emulsion blended into it prior to use.
335-2.1.2 Quality Tests: Meet the requirements of AASHTO M 208 for CSS-lh
emulsion, plus the following criteria shown in Tables 335-1 and 335-2.

335-2.1.3 Sampling, Certification, and Verification: For the first load of
emulsified asphalt produced for the project, the supplier shall submit a sample to the State
Materials Office for testing before use. A pretest number will then be assigned by the State
Materials Office, which shall be furnished with all emulsified asphalt delivered to the project.
The Engineer may sample and test all subsequent loads of emulsified
asphalt delivered to the project to verify and determine compliance with specification
requirements. Where these tests identify material outside specification requirements, the
Engineer may require the supplier to cease shipment of that pretested emulsified asphalt product.
Further shipment of that pretested emulsified asphalt product to Department projects will remain
suspended until the cause of the problem is evaluated and corrected by the supplier as necessary
to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
335-2.2 Aggregate:
335-2.2.1 General: Use an aggregate blend which consists of 100% crushed
granite. Use aggregates source(s) from the list of granitic aggregates available on the
Department's website and also meeting the requirements of this specification. The URL for
obtaining the list of granitic aggregates is:
www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/quality/programs/qualitycontrol/materiaIslistings/sources
/frictioncourse.pdf
335-2.2.2 Aggregate Quality Tests: In addition to the requirements of Sections

335-2.2.3 Gradation Requirements: When tested in accordance with FM 1-T
027 and FM 1-T 011, the target (mix design) aggregate gradation, including the mineral filler,
shall be within the gradation range for a Type II mixture shown in Table 335-4.
The aggregate will be accepted from the stockpile located at the project
location. The stockpile will be accepted based on five quality control gradation tests conducted
in accordance with FM 1-T 002. If the average of the five gradation tests is within the stockpile
tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for all of the sieve sizes, then the stockpile is accepted. If the
average of the five gradation tests is not within the stockpile tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for
any sieve size, remove the stockpiled material and replace it with new aggregate or blend other
aggregate sources with the stockpiled material. Aggregates used in blending must meet the
quality tests shown in Table 335-3 before blending and must be blended in a manner to produce
a consistent gradation. If new aggregate is obtained or blending of aggregates is performed,
submit a new mix design to the Engineer for approval prior to production of the mix. The new
mix design gradation shall be within the gradation range for a Type II mixture shown in Table
335-4.
The Engineer may obtain stockpile samples at any time. If the average of
five gradation tests conducted in accordance with FM 1-T 002 is not within the gradation
tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for any sieve size, cease production until the problem is
corrected to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Screen the stockpiled aggregate prior to delivery to the paving machine to
remove oversize material and non -desirable particles.
335-2.3 Mineral Filler: If mineral filler is required, utilize non -air entrained Portland
cement or hydrated lime that is free from lumps. The Engineer will accept the mineral filler by
visual inspection. The type and amount of mineral filler needed shall be determined by a
laboratory mix design and will be considered as part of the aggregate gradation. An increase or
decrease of less than one percent mineral filler may be permitted during production if it is found
to result in better consistency or set tunes.
335-2.4 Water: Utilize water that is potable and free of harmful soluble salts or reactive
chemicals and any other contaminants.
335-2.5 Additives: Additives may be added to the mixture or any of the component
materials to provide the control of quick -trafficking properties. The additives to be used should
be indicated on the mix design and be compatible with the other components of the mix.
335-3 Mix Design: Before work commences, submit a mix design to the Engineer incorporating
the specific materials to be used on the project. The mix design shall be developed by a

The aggregate will be accepted from the stockpile located at the project
location. The stockpile will be accepted based on five quality control gradation tests conducted
in accordance with FM 1-T 002. If the average of the five gradation tests is within the stockpile
tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for all of the sieve sizes, then the stockpile is accepted. If the
average of the five gradation tests is not within the stockpile tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for
any sieve size, remove the stockpiled material and replace it with new aggregate or blend other
aggregate sources with the stockpiled material. Aggregates used in blending must meet the
quality tests shown in Table 335-3 before blending and must be blended in a manner to produce
a consistent gradation. If new aggregate is obtained or blending of aggregates is performed,
submit a new mix design to the Engineer for approval prior to production of the mix. The new
mix design gradation shall be within the gradation range for a Type II mixture shown in Table
335-4.
The Engineer may obtain stockpile samples at any time. If the average of
five gradation tests conducted in accordance with FM 1-T 002 is not within the gradation
tolerances shown in Table 335-4 for any sieve size, cease production until the problem is
corrected to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Screen the stockpiled aggregate prior to delivery to the paving machine to
remove oversize material and non -desirable particles.
335-2.3 Mineral Filler: If mineral filler is required, utilize non -air entrained Portland
cement or hydrated lime that is free from lumps. The Engineer will accept the mineral filler by
visual inspection. The type and amount of mineral filler needed shall be determined by a
laboratory mix design and will be considered as part of the aggregate gradation. An increase or
decrease of less than one percent mineral filler may be permitted during production if it is found
to result in better consistency or set tunes.
335-2.4 Water: Utilize water that is potable and free of harmful soluble salts or reactive
chemicals and any other contaminants.
335-2.5 Additives: Additives may be added to the mixture or any of the component
materials to provide the control of quick -trafficking properties. The additives to be used should
be indicated on the mix design and be compatible with the other components of the mix.
335-3 Mix Design: Before work commences, submit a mix design to the Engineer incorporating
the specific materials to be used on the project. The mix design shall be developed by a
laboratory which has experience in designing micro -surfacing mixtures.

3354 Rate of Application: The average single application rate, as measured by the Contractor,
shall be 20 — 26 lb/sy. Application rates are based upon the weight of dry aggregate in the
mixture. The maximum drop off at the edge of thepavement shall be 1/4 in.
335-5 Equipment.
335-5.1 General: Maintain all equipment, tools, and machines, used in the performance
of this work, in satisfactory working condition at all times to ensure a high-quality product.
335-5.2 Mixing Equipment: Use a machine specifically designed and manufactured to
place micro -surfacing. Truck mounted and self -loading continuous machines are acceptable.
Mix the material with an automatic -sequenced, self-propelled micro -surfacing mixing machine,
which is a continuous -flow mixing unit able to accurately deliver and proportion the aggregate,
emulsified asphalt, mineral filler, control setting additive, and water to a revolving multi -blade,
double -shafted mixer and to discharge the mixed product on a continuous -flow basis. The
machine shall have sufficient storage capacity for aggregate, emulsified asphalt, mineral filler,
control additive and water to maintain an adequate supply to the proportioning controls. Self -
loading continuous machines shall be capable of loading materials, while continuing to lay
microsurfacing, thereby minimising construction joints. Self -loading continuous machines shall
be equipped to allow the operator to have full control of the forward and reverse speeds during
applications of the micro -surfacing material and shall be equipped with opposite -side driver
stations to assist in alignment. The self -loading device, opposite -side driver stations, and
forward and reverse speed controls shall be original equipment manufacturer design.
335-5.3 Proportioning Device: Provide and properly mark individual volume or weight
controls for proportioning each material to be added to the mix (i.e., aggregate, mineral filler,
emulsified asphalt, additives, and water).
335-5.4 Spreading Equipment: Agitate and spread the mixture uniformly in the
surfacing box by means of twin -shafted paddles or spiral augers fixed in the spreader box.
Provide a front seal to insure no loss of the mixture at the road contact point. The rear seal shall
act as a final strike -off and shall be adjustable. The spreader box and rear strike -off shall be so
designed and operated that a uniform consistency is achieved to produce a free flow of material
to the rear strike -off. The spreader box shall have suitable means provided to side shift the box
to compensate for variations in the pavement geometry.
335-5.4.1 Secondary Strike -off: Provide a secondary strike -off to improve
surface texture. The secondary strike -off shall have the same adjustments as the spreader box.
335-5.4.2 Rut -filling Box: Place preliminary micro -surfacing material to fill ruts,
utility cuts, depressions in the existing surface, etc., when required on the plans and before the
final surface course is placed. Fill in ruts of 1/2 inch or greater in depth independently with a
rut -filling spreader box either five or six feet in width. For irregular or shallow rutting of less
than 1/2 inch in depth, place a full -width scratch -coat pass, if so directed by the Engineer. Ruts
that are in excess of 1-1/2 inches in depth may require multiple placements with the rut -filling
spreader box to restore the cross-section. Cure all rut -filling leveling material under traffic for at
least a twenty-four hour period before additional material is placed on top of the leveling
material.
335-5.5 Auxiliary Equipment: Provide suitable surface preparation equipment, traffic
control equipment, hand tools, and any other support and safety equipment necessary to perform
the work.
335-6 Calibration: Calibrate each mixing unit to be used in the performance of the work in the
presence of the Engineer prior to the start of construction. Document the individual calibration
of each material at various settings, which can be related to the machine metering devices. Do
not utilize any mixing unit on the project until the calibration has been completed and approved
by the Engineer.
335-7 Weather Limitations: Do not apply micro -surfacing if either the pavement or air
temperature is below 45°F. Do not apply micro -surfacing when there is the possibility that the
finished product will freeze within 24 hours. Do not apply micro -surfacing in the rain. The
mixture shall not be applied when weather conditions prevent opening to traffic within a
reasonable amount of time, as determined by the Engineer.
335-8 Surface Preparation.
335-8.1 General: Immediately prior to applying the micro -surfacing, clear the surface of
all loose material, silt spots, vegetation, and other material that will negatively affect the quality
of the micro -surfacing utilizing any standard cleaning method. If water is used for cleaning,
allow cracks to dry thoroughly before applying micro -surfacing. Protect manholes, valve boxes,
drop inlets and other service entrances from the micro -surfacing mixture by a suitable method.
The Engineer will approve the surface preparation prior to micro -surfacing. No loose aggregate,
either spilled from the lay -down machine or existing on the road, will be permitted.
335-8.2 Cracks: Pre -treat any cracks in the surface of the pavement, with a crack sealer
approved by the Engineer, prior to the application of the micro -surfacing. Fill any cracks with a
width greater than 1/4 inch. Do not overfill the cracks.
335-9 Application.
335-9.1 General: Pre -wet the surface by fogging ahead of the spreader box. Adjust the
rate of application of the fog spray to suit temperatures, surface texture, humidity, and dryness of
the pavement.
The micro -surfacing shall be of the desired consistency upon leaving the mixer.
Carry a sufficient amount of material in all parts of the spreader at all tunes so that complete
coverage is obtained. Avoid overloading of the spreader. Do not allow lumping, balling or
unmixed aggregate in the micro -surfacing mixture.
Do not leave streaks, such as those caused by oversized aggregate, in the finished
surface. If excess streaking develops, stop production until the situation has been corrected.
Excessive streaking is defined as more than four drag marks greater than 1/2 inch wide and 4
inches long, or 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, in any 30 sy area. Do not permit transverse ripples
or longitudinal streaks of 1/4 inch in depth or greater, when measured by placing a 10 -foot
straight edge over the surface.
335-9.2 Joints: Prevent excessive buildup, uncovered areas, or unsightly appearance on
longitudinal and transverse joints. Provide suitable -width spreading equipment to produce a
minimum number of longitudinal joints throughout the project. Place longitudinal joints on lane
lines, where possible. Use half passes and odd -width passes only when absolutely necessary.
Do not use a half pass as the last pass of any paved area. Do not overlap longitudinal lane line
joints by more than three inches. Do not construct joints having more than a 1/4 inch difference
in elevation when measured by placing a 10 -foot straight edge over the joint and measuring the
elevation drop-off.
335-93 Mix Stability: Produce a micro -surfacing mixture that possesses sufficient
stability so that premature breaking of the material in the spreader box does not occur. The
mixture shall be homogeneous during and following mixing and spreading. The mixture shall be
free of excess water or emulsion and free of segregation of the emulsion and aggregate fines
from the coarser aggregate. Do not spray water directly into the lay -down box while laying
micro -surfacing material under any circumstances.
335-9.4 Handwork: Utilize hand squeegees to provide complete and uniform coverage
of micro -surface areas, which cannot be reached with the mixing machine. Lightly dampen the
area to be handworked prior to mix placement, if necessary. Care shall be exercised to leave no
unsightly appearance from handwork. When performing handwork, provide the same type of
finish as that applied by the spreader box.
335-9.5 Lines: Construct straight lines along curbs and shoulders. Do not permit runoff
on these areas. Keep lines at intersections straight to provide a good appearance. If necessary,
utilize a suitable material to mask off the end of streets to provide straight lines. Do not allow
edge lines to vary by more than f2 inches in horizontal variance in any 96 feet of length.
335-9.6 Cleanup: Remove micro -surfacing mixture from all areas, such as manholes,
gutters, and intersections, and as otherwise specified by the Engineer. On a daily basis, remove
any debris resulting from the performance of the work.
335-10 Quality Acceptance.
335-10.1 Sampling and Testing: The Engineer shall obtain two samples of micro -
surfacing mixture for each day of production. The samples shall be obtained at different periods
during the production day and the Engineer shall test each sample in accordance with FM 5-563
and FM 1-T 030 to determine the residual asphalt content and the gradation of each sample.
Evaporate all water from the sample prior to testing. Determine the deviation of the test results
for each sample from the mix design target values. Average the absolute values of the deviations
for the two tests. Compare the average deviation from the mix design to the mixture control
tolerances shown in Table 335-7.

335-10.2 Residual Asphalt Content: If the average deviation of the residual asphalt
content for a day's production is greater than the allowable tolerance in Table 335-7, then a two
percent reduction in unit price will be assessed for each 0.1 percent the residual asphalt content is
outside the allowable tolerance for each day that the tolerance was exceeded. Stop production of
the mixture and make adjustments to correct the problem to the satisfaction of the Engineer prior
to resuming production.
335-10.3 Aggregate Gradation: If the average deviation of any of the gradation
properties for a day's production is greater than the allowable tolerance in Table 335-7, then stop
production of the mixture and make adjustments to correct the problem to the satisfaction of the
Engineer prior to resuming production.
335-10.4 Aggregate Application Rate: Control the application rate for micro -surfacing
to within the range specified in 335-4 on a daily basis. No additional compensation will be paid
for micro -surfacing application rates placed in excess of the specified range. The unit price will
be reduced by five percent for each lb/sy rate less than the specified range. For application rates
outside the specified range, stop production of the mixture and make adjustments to correct the
problem to the satisfaction of the Engineer prior to resuming production. Accept a pay reduction
for deficient daily production or overlay the deficient area at full plan width and depth at no
additional cost to the Department.
335-11 Basis of Payment.
335-11.1 General: The micro -surfacing shall be paid for at the Contract unit price per
square yard, completed and accepted. Such price and payment shall be full compensation for
performing all work, and shall include the cost of all materials, including the cost of the
emulsified asphalt and virgin aggregate.

SECTION 200
ROCK BASE
200-1 Description.
Construct a base composed of base rock. Perform work in accordance with an approved
Quality Control Plan meeting the requirements of 105-3.
200-2 Materials.
Meet the requirements of either 911, 913, 913A or 915 for the particular type of base to
be constructed. The Contractor may use more than one source of base rock on a single Contract
provided that a single source is used throughout the entire width and depth of a section of base.
Obtain approval from the Engineer before placing material from more than one source. Place
material to ensure total thickness single source integrity at any station location of the base.
Intermittent placement or `Blending" of sources is not permitted. Base rock may be referred to
hereinafter as "rock".
Do not use any of the existing base that is removed to construct the new base.
200-3 Equipment.
Use mechanical rock spreaders, equipped with a device that strikes off the rock uniformly
to laying thickness, capable of producing even distribution. For crossovers, intersections and
ramp areas; roadway widths of 20 feet or less; the main roadway area when forms are used and
any other areas where the use of a mechanical spreader is not practicable; the Contractor may
spread the rock using bulldozers or blade graders.
200-4 Transporting Rock.
Transport the rock to its point of use, over rock previously placed, if practicable, and
dump it on the end of the preceding spread. Hauling and dumping on the subgrade will be
permitted only when, in the Engineer's opinion, these operations will not be detrimental to the
subgrade.
200-5 Spreading Rock.
200-5.1 Method of Spreading: Spread the rock uniformly. Remove all segregated areas
of fine or coarse rock and replace them with properly graded rock.
200-5.2 Number of Courses: When the specified compacted thickness of the base is
greater than 6 inches, construct the base in multiple courses of equal thickness. Individual
courses shall not be less than 3 inches. The thickness of the first course may be increased to bear
the weight of the construction equipment without disturbing the subgrade.
If, through field tests, the Contractor can demonstrate that the compaction
equipment can achieve density for the full depth of a thicker lift, and if approved by the
Engineer, the base may be constructed in successive courses of not more than 8 inches
compacted thickness.
The Engineer will base approval on results of a test section constructed using the
Contractor's specified compaction effort. Notify the Engineer prior to beginning construction of
a test section. Construct a test section of the length of one LOT. Perform five QC density tests at
random locations within the test section. At each test site, test the bottom 6 inches in addition to
the entire course thickness. All QC tests and a Department Verification test must meet the
density required by 200-7.2.1. Identify the test section with the compaction effort and thickness
in the Logbook. Remove the materials above the bottom 6 inches, at no expense to the
Department. The minimum density required on the thicker lift will be the average of the five
results obtained on the thick lift in the passing test section. Maintain the exposed surface as close
to "undisturbed" as possible; no further compaction will be permitted during the test preparation.
If unable to achieve the required density, remove and replace or repair the test section to comply
with the specifications at no additional expense to the Department. The Contractor may elect to
place material in 6 inches compacted thickness at any time.
Once approved, a change in the source of base material will require the construction
of a new test section. Do not change the compaction effort once the test section is approved. The
Engineer will periodically verify the density of the bottom 6 inches during thick lift operations.
The Engineer may terminate the use of thick lift construction and instruct the
Contractor to revert to the 6 inches maximum lift thickness if the Contractor fails to achieve
satisfactory results or meet applicable specifications.
200-5.3 Rock Base for Shoulder Pavement: Unless otherwise permitted, complete all
rock base shoulder construction at any particular location before placing the final course of
pavement on the traveled roadway. When dumping material for the construction of a rock base
on the shoulders, do not allow material capable of scarring or contaminating the pavement
surface on the adjacent pavement. Immediately sweep off any rock material that is deposited on
the surface course.
200-6 Compacting and Finishing Base.
200-6.1 General: Construct mainline pavement lanes, turn lanes, ramps, parking lots,
concrete box culverts and retaining wall systems meeting the requirements of 120-8.1, except
replace "Embankment" with `Base".
Construct shoulder -only areas, bike/shared use paths, and sidewalks. Meet the
requirements of 120-8.1 except replace `Embankment" with "Base" meeting the acceptance
criteria of 200-7.2. Shoulders compacted separately shall be considered separate LOTS.
200-6.1.1 Single Course Base: After spreading, scarify the entire surface, then
shape the base to produce the required grade and cross-section, free of scabs and laminations,
after compaction.
200-6.1.2 Multiple Course Base: Clean the first course of foreign material, then
blade and bring it to a surface cross-section approximately parallel to the fmished base. Before
spreading any material for the upper courses, allow the Engineer to make density tests for the
lower courses to determine that the required compaction has been obtained. After spreading the
material for the top course, scarify finish and shape its surface to produce the required grade and
cross-section, free of scabs and laminations, after compaction.
200-6.2 Moisture Content: When the material does not have the proper moisture content
to ensure the required density, wet or dry it as required. When adding water, uniformly mix it in
to the full depth of the course that is being compacted. During wetting or drying operations,
manipulate, as a unit, the entire width and depth of the course that is being compacted.
200-6.3 Thickness Requirements: Within the entire limits of the length and width of the
finished base, meet the specified plan thickness in accordance with the requirements of
200-7.3.1.2.
200-6.4 Correction of Defects:
200-6.4.1 Contamination of Base Material: If, at any time, the subgrade
material becomes mixed with the base course material, dig out and remove the mixture, and
reshape and compact the subgrade. Then replace the materials removed with clean base material,
and shape and compact as specified above. Perform this work at no expense to the Department.
200-6.4.2 Cracks and Checks: If cracks or checks appear in the base, either
before or after priming, which, in the opinion of the Engineer, would impair the structural
efficiency of the base, remove the cracks or checks by rescarifying, reshaping, adding base
material where necessary, and recompacting.
200-6.5 Compaction of Widening Strips: Where base construction consists of widening
strips and the trench width is not sufficient to permit use of standard base compaction equipment,
compact the base using vibratory compactors, trench rollers or other special equipment which
will achieve the density requirements specified herein.
When multiple course base construction is required, compact each course prior to
spreading material for the overlaying course.
200-7 Acceptance Program.
200-7.1 General Requirements: Meet the requirements of 120-10, except use 200-7.2
instead of 120-10.2, 200-7.3 instead of 120-10.3 and 200-7.4 instead of 120-10.4.
200-7.2 Acceptance Criteria:
200-7.2.1 Density: Within the entire limits of the width and depth of the base,
obtain a minimum density in any LOT of 98% of modified Proctor maximum density as
determined by FM l -T 180, Method D. Compact the base of any LOT of shoulder pavement to
not less than 95% of the modified Proctor maximum density as determined by FM 1-T 180,
Method D.
200-7.2.2 Frequency: Conduct QC sampling and testing at a minimum frequency
listed in the table below. The Engineer will perform Verification sampling and tests at a

200-7.3 Additional Requirements:
200-7.3.1 Quality Control Testing:
200-7.3.1.1 Modified Proctor Maximum Density Requirement: Collect
enough material to split and create three separate samples and retain two for the Engineer's
Verification and Resolution testing until the Engineer accepts the 16 LOTS represented by the
samples.
200-7.3.1.2 Depth and Surface Testing Requirements: Notify the
Engineer a minimum of 24 hours before checking base depths and surface checking. Determine
test locations including Stations and Offsets, using the Random Number generator approved by
the Department. Do not perform depth and surface checks until the Engineer is present to
witness. Enter test results into the Department's database. Perform thickness check on the
finished base or granular subbase component of a composite base. Provide traffic control,
coring/boring equipment, and an operator for the coring/boring equipment Traffic control is to
be provided in accordance with the standard maintenance of traffic requirements of the Contract.
The thickness is considered deficient, if the measured depth is over
1/2 inch less than the specified thickness. Correct all deficient areas of the completed base by
scarifying and adding additional base material. As an exception, if authorized by the Department,
such areas may be left in place without correction and with no payment
Check the finished surface of the base course with a template cut to
the required crown and with a 15 foot straightedge laid parallel to the centerline of the road.
Correct all irregularities greater than 1/4 inch to the satisfaction of the Engineer by scarifying
and removing or adding rock as required, and recompact the entire area as specified
hereinbefore.
200-7.3.1.3 Surface & Thickness Reduced Testing Frequency: When
no Resolution testing is required for 12 consecutive verified LOTS, or if required, the QC test
data was upheld, reduce the QC surface and/or thickness checks to one half the minimum
requirements as stated in 200-7.2.2 (eg. Reduce frequency from ten per LOT to ten per two
LOTS) by identifying the substantiating tests and notifying the Engineer in writing prior to
starting reduced frequency of testing. If the Verification test fails, and Quality Control test data is
not upheld by Resolution testing the Quality Control testing will revert to the original frequency
of 200-7.2.2. The results of the Independent Verification testing will not affect the frequency of
the Quality Control testing.
200-7.3.2 Department Verification Tests:
200-7.3.2.1 Maximum Density: The Engineer will randomly select one of
the remaining two split samples and test in accordance with FM 1-T 180, Method D.
200-7.3.2.2 Thickness and Surface Testing Requirements: The
Department will witness the base depth and surface checks to ensure compliance with
200-7.3.1.2. If the QC test results are not deficient as defined in 200-7.3.1.2, the LOT or 500 -foot
section will be accepted. If the QC test results are deficient, resolve deficiencies in accordance
with 200-7.3.1.2. Repeat acceptance testing. Provide traffic control, coring/boring equipment,
and an operator for the coring/boring equipment.
200-7.4 Verification Comparison Criteria and Resolution Procedures:
200-7.4.1 Modified Proctor Maximum Density: The Engineer will compare the
Verification test results of 200-7.3.2.1 to the corresponding Quality Control test results. If the
test result is within 4.5 lb/fi3 of the QC test result, the LOTS will be verified. Otherwise, the
Engineer will collect the Resolution split sample corresponding to the Verification sample tested.
The State Materials Office or an AASHTO accredited laboratory designated by the State
Materials Office will perform Resolution testing. The material will be sampled and tested in
accordance with FM 1-T 180, Method D.
The Engineer will compare the Resolution Test results with the Quality
Control test results. If the Resolution Test result is within 4.5 Ib/ft3 of the corresponding Quality
Control test result, the Engineer will use the Quality Control test results for material acceptance
purposes for each corresponding set of LOTS. If the Resolution test result is not within 4.5 lb/ft3
of the corresponding Quality Control test, the Engineer will collect the remaining Verification
split sample for testing. Verification Test results will be used for material acceptance purposes
for the LOTS in question.
200-7.4.2 Density: When a Verification or Independent Verification density test
does not meet the requirements of 200-7.2.1 (Acceptance Criteria), retest at a site within a 5 feet
radius of the Verification test location and observe the following:
1. If the Quality Control retest meets the Acceptance Criteria and
compares favorably with the Verification or Independent Verification test, the Engineer will
accept the LOTS in question.
2. if the Quality Control retest does not meet the Acceptance Criteria and
compares favorably with the Verification or Independent Verification test, rework and retest the
material in that LOT. The Engineer will re -verify the LOTS in question.
3. If the Quality Control retest and the Verification or Independent
Verification test do not compare favorably, complete a new equipment -comparison analysis as
defined in 120-10.1. 1. Once acceptable comparison is achieved, retest the LOTS. The Engineer
will perform new verification testing. Acceptance testing will not begin on a new LOT until the
Contractor has a gauge that meets the comparison requirements.
200-7.4.3 Thickness and Surface Testing Requirements: Resolve deficiencies
in accordance with 200-7.3.1.2.
200-8 Priming and Maintaining.
200-8.1 Priming: Apply the prime coat only when the base meets the specified density
requirements and when the moisture content in the top half of the base does not exceed the
optimum moisture of the base material. At the time of priming, ensure that the base is firm,
unyielding and in such condition that no undue distortion will occur.
200-8.2 Maintaining: Maintain the true crown and template, with no rutting or other
distortion, while applying the surface course.
200-9 Calculations for Average Thickness of Base.
For bases that are not mixed in place, the Engineer will determine the average thickness
from the measurements specified in 200-10.1, calculated as follows:
(a) When the measured thickness is more than 1/2 inch greater than the design
thickness shown on the typical cross-section in the plans, it will be considered as the design
thickness plus 1/2 inch.
(b) Average thickness will be calculated per typical cross-section for the entire job
as a unit.
(c) Any areas of base left in place with no payment will not be included in the
calculations.
(d) Where it is not possible through borings to distinguish the base materials from
the underlying materials, the thickness of the base used in the measurement will be the design
thickness.
200-10 Method of Measurement.
200-10.1 General: The quantity to be paid for will be the plan quantity, adjusted as
specified below.
200-10.2 Authorized Normal Thickness Base: The surface area of authorized normal
thickness base to be adjusted will be the plan quantity as specified above, omitting any areas not
allowed for payment under the provisions of 200-6.3 and omitting areas which are to be included
for payment under 200-10.3. The adjustment shall be made by adding or deducting, as
appropriate, the area of base represented by the difference between the calculated average
thickness, determined as provided in 200-9, and the specified normal thickness, converted to
equivalent square yards of normal thickness base.
200-10.3 Authorized Variable Thickness Base: Where the base is constructed to a
compacted thickness other than the normal thickness as shown on the typical section in the plans,
as specified on the plans or ordered by the Engineer for providing additional depths at culverts or
bridges, or for providing transitions to connecting pavements, the volume of such authorized
variable thickness compacted base will be calculated from authorized lines and grades, or by
other methods selected by the Engineer, converted to equivalent square yards of normal
thickness base for payment.
200-11 Basis of Payment.
Price and payment will be full compensation for all the work specified in this Section,
including correcting all defective surface and deficient thickness, removing cracks and checks as
provided in 200-6.4.2, the prime coat application as directed in 300-8, and the additional rock
required for crack elimination.
Payment shall be made under:
Item No. 285- 7- Optional Base - per square yard.

method acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby waives
its request for such extra compensation. The City is not obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not
notified as described above. The Contractor may refuse to perform additional work requested by the City
