This specification will establish procedures to be used by all Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with ... NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non -friable material in its intact state but which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 61.150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas Department of Health. The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of the material. If it remains in its non - friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressures. C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper handling, transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable or not. D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this result. E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator.

Pavement temperatures sea estimated Brim air temperatures using an algorithm contained in a Department-sWplied computer program, may be provided by the Department, or by following the procedures outlined in AASHTO MP 2 and PP 28, 2. This requirement may be waived at the Dcpartment's discretion if the supplier warrants that due asphalt binder can be adequately pumped, nixed and compacted d temperatures that meet all applicable safety, environmental, and conaructability requirements. At test temperatures where the binder is is Newtonian fluid, any suitable standard mews of viscosity measurement may be used, including capillary (T 201 or T 202) or rotational viscometry (T 316). 3. Viscosity at 135'C is an indicator of mixing and compaction temperatures that can be expected in the lab and field. High values may indicate high mixing and compaction tempera[uureL Additionally, significant variation can occur from batch to batch. Contractors should be aware that variation could signifirandy impact their mixing and compaction operations. Contractors are therefore responsible for addressing any constructability, issues that may arise. 4. For quality control ofunmodified asphalt binder production, measurement ofthe viscosity of the original asphalt binder may be substituted for dynamic shear measurements ofG'/sin(b) at test temperatures where the asphplt is a Newtonian fluid. Any suitable standard means ofviscoshy measurement may be used, including capillary(T 201 or T 202) or rotational viscometry (T 316). 5. Silicone beam molds, as described in AASHTO TP 1.93, are acceptable for use. 6. If creep stiffness is below 300 MPa, direct tension test is not required. If creep stiffness is between 300 and 600 MPa, the direct tension failure strain requirement can be used instead ofthe creep stifBtess requirement. The no -value requirement must be satisfied in both eases, 300.3. Equipment. Provide all equipment necessary to transport, store, sample, heat, apply, and incorporate asphalts, oils, and emulsions, 300.4. Construction. A. Typical Material Use.

The job -mix formula (JMF) is the combined aggregate gradation and target asphalt percentage used to establish target values for mixture production. JMF is the original laboratory mixture design used to produce the trial batch. The Engineer and the Contractor will verify JMF based on plant -produced mixture from the trial batch unless otherwise approved. The Engineer may accept an existing mixture design previously used on a Department project and may waive the trial batch to verify JMF. If the JMF is not verified by the Engineer from the trial batch, adjust the JMF or redesign the mix and produce as many trial batches as necessary to verify the JMF. Provide the Engineer with split samples of the mixtures and blank samples used to determine the ignition oven correction factors. The Engineer will determine the aggregate and asphalt correction factors from the ignition oven using Tex-236-F. The Engineer will use a Texas gyratory compactor calibrated in accordance with Tex-914-F in molding production samples. The Engineer will perform Tex-530-C and retain the tested sample for comparison purposes during production. The Engineer may waive the requirement for the boil test. C. JMF Field Adjustments. Produce a mixture of uniform composition closely conforming to the approved JMF. 40 If, during initial days of production, the Contractor or Engineer determines that adjustments to the IMF are necessary to achieve the specified requirements, or to more nearly match the aggregate production, the Engineer may allow adjustment of the JMF within the tolerances of Table 7 without a laboratory redesign of the mixture. The Engineer will adjust the asphalt content to maintain desirable laboratory density near the optimum value while achieving other mix requirements.

When within these tolerances, mixture production gradations may fa)t outside the master grading limits; however, the percent passing the #200 sieve will be oonsidered out of tolerance when outside the master grading limits. 2. Test and verify that Table 4 requirements arc met. D. Production Operations. Perform a new trial batch when the plant or plant location is changed. The Engineer may suspend production for noncompliance with this Item. Take corrective action and obtain approval to proceed after any production suspension for noncompliance. Operational Tolerances. During production, do not exceed the operational tolerances in Table 7. Stop production if testing indicates tolerances are exceeded on: • 3 consecutive tests on any individual sieve, • 4 consecutive tests on any of the sieves, or • 2 consecutive tests on asphalt content. Begin production only when test results or other information indicate, to the satisfaction of the Engineer, that the next mixture produced will be within Table 7 tolerances. 2. Storage and Heating of Materials. Do not heat the asphalt binder above the temperatures specified in Item 300, "Asphalts, Oils, and Emulsions" or outside the manufacturer's recommended values. On a daily basis, provide the Engineer with the records of asphalt binder and hot -mix asphalt discharge temperatures in accordance with Item 320, "Equipment for Asphalt Concrete Pavement" Unless otherwise approved, do not store mixture for a period long enough to affect the quality of the mixture, nor in any case longer than 12 hr. 3. Mixing and Discharge of Materials. Notify the Engineer of the target discharge temperature and produce the mixture within 250F of the target Monitor the temperature of the material in the truck before shipping to ensure that it does not exceed 350°F. The Department will not pay for or allow placement of any mixture produced at more than 350°F. Control the mixing time and temperature so that substantially all moisture is removed from the mixture before discharging from the plant. E. Hauling Operations. Before use, clean all truck beds to ensure mixture is not contaminated. When a release agent is necessary to coat truck beds, use a release agent on the approved list maintained by the Construction Division. F. Placement Operations. Prepare the surface by removing raised pavement markers and objectionable material such as moisture, dirt, sand, leaves, and other loose impediments from the surface before placing mixture. Remove vegetation from pavement edges. Place the mixture to meet the typical section requirements and produce a smooth, finished surface with a uniform appearance and texture. Offset longitudinal joints of successive courses of hot mix by at least 6 in. Place mixture so longitudinal joints on the surface course coincide with lane lines, or as directed. Ensure that all finished surfaces will drain properly. Place mixture within the compacted lift thickness shown in Table 8, unless otherwise shown on the plans or allowed. Table 8 Compacted Lift Thickness and Required Core Height MixtureType I Compacted Litt Thickness Minimum (in.) Max= (in.) A 3.00 6.00 B 2.50 5.00 C 2.00 4.00 D 1.50 3.00 F 1.25 2.50 1. Weather Conditions. Place mixture when the roadway surface temperature is 60°F or higher unless otherwise approved. Measure the roadway surface temperature with a handheld infrared thermometer. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, place mixtures only when weather conditions and moisture conditions of the roadway surface are suitable in the opinion of the Engineer. 2. Tack Coat. Clean the surface before placing the tack coat. Unless otherwise approved, apply tack coat uniformly at the rate directed by the Engineer. The Engineer will set the rate between 0.04 and 0.10 gal. of residual asphalt per square yard of surface area. Apply a thin, uniform tack coat to all contact surfaces of curbs, structures, and all joints. Prevent splattering of tack coat when placed adjacent to curb, gutter, and structures. Roll the tack coat with a pneumatic -tire roller when directed. The Engineer may use Tex-243-F to verify that the tack coat has adequate adhesive properties. The Engineer may suspend paving operations until there is adequate adhesion. G. Lay -Down Operations. 1. Minimum Mixture Placement Temperatures. Use Table 9 for suggested minimum mixture placement temperatures. 2. Windrow Operations. When hot mix is placed in windrows, operate windrow pickup equipment so that substantially all the mixture deposited on the roadbed is picked up and loaded into the paver. Table 9 Suggested Minimum Mixture Placement Tt_mperature igh-Temperature Minimum Placement emperature Binder Grade (Before Entering Paver) PG 64 or lower 260°F PG 70 270°F PG 76 280°F PG 82 or higher 290°F H. Compaction. Use air void control unless ordinary compaction control is specified on the plans. Avoid displacement of the mixture. If displacement occurs, correct to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Ensure pavement is fully compacted before allowing rollers to stand on the pavement. Unless otherwise directed, use only water or an approved release agent on rollers, tamps, and other compaction equipment. Keep diesel, gasoline, oil, grease, and other foreign matter off the mixture. Unless otherwise directed, operate vibratory rollers in static mode when not compacting, when changing directions, or when the plan depth of the pavement mat is less than 1-1/2 in. Use tamps to thoroughly compact the edges of the pavement along curbs, headers, and similar structures and in locations that will not allow thorough compaction with the rollers. The Engineer may require rolling with a trench roller on widened areas, in trenches, and in other limited areas. Allow the compacted pavement to cool to 1607 or lower before opening to traffic unless otherwise directed. When directed, sprinkle the finished mat with water or limewater to expedite opening the roadway to traffic. 1. Air Void Control. Compact dense -graded hot -mix asphalt to contain from 5% to 9% in -place air voids. Do not increase the asphalt content of the mixture to reduce pavement air voids. a. Rollers. Furnish the type, size, and number or rollers required for compaction, as approved. Use a pneumatic -tire roller to sea] the surface, unless otherwise shown on the plans. Use additional rollers as required to remove any roller marks. b. Air Void Determination. Unless otherwise shown on the plans, obtain 2 roadway specimens at each location selected by the Engineer for in -place air void determination. The Engineer will measure air voids in accordance with Tex-207-F and Tex-227-F. Before drying to a constant weight, cores may be predried using a Corelok or similar vacuum device to remove excess moisture. The Engineer will use the average air void content of the 2 cores to calculate the in -place air voids at the selected location. c. Air Voids Out of Range. If the in -place air void content in the compacted mixture is below 5% or greater than 9%, change the production and placement operations to bring the in -place air void content within requirements. The Engineer may suspend production until the in -place air void content is brought to the required level, and may require a test section as described in Section 340.4.H.l.d, "Test Section." d. Test Section. Construct a test section of 1 lane -width and at most 0.2 mi. in length to demonstrate that compaction to between 5% and 9% in -place air voids can be obtained. Continue this procedure until a test section with 5% to 91/c in -place air voids can be produced. The Engineer will allow only 2 test sections per day. When a test section producing satisfactory in -place air void content is placed, resume full production. 2. Ordinary Compaction Control. Furnish the type, size, and number or rollers required for compaction, as approved. Furnish at least 1 medium pneumatic -tire roller (minimum 12-ton weight). Use the control strip method given in Tex-207-F, Part IV, to establish rolling patterns that achieve maximum compaction. Follow the selected rolling pattern unless changes that affect compaction occur in the mixture or placement conditions. When such changes occur, establish a new rolling pattern. Compact the pavement to meet the requirements of the plans and specifications. When rolling with the 3-wheel, tandem or vibratory rollers, start by first rolling the joint with the adjacent pavement and then continue by rolling longitudinally at the sides. Proceed toward the center of the pavement, overlapping on successive trips by at least 1 8., unless otherwise directed. Make alternate trips of the roller slightly different in length. On superelevated curves, begin rolling at the low side and progress toward the high side unless otherwise directed. I. Irregularities. Immediately take corrective action if surface irregularities, including but not limited to segregation, rutting, raveling, flushing, fat spots, mat slippage, color, texture, roller marks, tears, gouges, streaks, or uncoated aggregate particles, are detected. The Engineer may suspend production or placement operations until the problem is corrected. At the expense of the Contractor and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, remove and replace any mixture that does not bond to the existing pavement or that has other surface irregularities identified above. Ride Quality. Use Surface Test Type A to evaluate ride quality in accordance with Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces," unless otherwise shown on the plans. 340.5. Measurement. Hot mix will be measured by the ton of composite hot mix, which includes asphalt, aggregate, and additives. Measure the weight on scales in accordance with Item 520, "Weighing and Measuring Equipment." 340.6. Payment. The work performed and materials furnished in accordance with this Item and measured as provided under "Measurement' will be paid for at the unit price bid for "Dense -Graded Hot -Mix Asphalt (Method)' of the type, surface aggregate classification, and binder specified. These prices are full compensation for surface preparation, materials including tack coat, placement, equipment, labor, tools, and incidentals. Trial batches will not be paid for unless they are incorporated into pavement work approved by the Department. Pay adjustment for ride quality, when required, will be determined in accordance with Item 585, "Ride Quality for Pavement Surfaces." ITEM 360 CONCRETE PAVEMENT (Modified for CFW Projects) 360.1. Description. Construct Portland cement concrete pavement with or without curbs on the concrete pavement. 360.2. Materials. A. Portland Cement Concrete.

Obtain approval to vary the length and width of the carpet to accommodate specific applications. Use an artificial grass -type carpet having a molded polyethylene pile face with a blade length of 5/8 in. to 1 in., a minimum weight of 70 oz. per square yard, and a strong, durable, rot -resistant backing material bonded to the facing. 2. Tining Equipment. Provide a self-propelled transverse metal tine device equipped with 4-in. to 6-in. steel tines and with cross-section approximately 1/32 in. thick by 1/12 in. wide, spaced at 1 in., center -to -center. Hand -operated tining equipment that produces an equivalent texture may be used only on small or irregularly shaped areas or, when permitted, in emergencies due to equipment breakdown. E. Curing Equipment. Provide a self-propelled machine for applying membrane curing compound using mechanically pressurized spraying equipment with atomizing nozzles. Provide equipment and controls that maintain the required uniform rate of application over the entire paving area. Provide curing equipment that is independent of all other equipment when production rates are such that the first application of membrane curing compound cannot be accomplished immediately after texturing and after free moisture has disappeared. Hand -operated pressurized spraying equipment with atomizing nozzles may only be used on small or irregular areas or, when permitted, in emergencies due to equipment breakdown. F. Sawing Equipment. Provide power -driven concrete saws to saw the joints shown on the plans. Provide standby power -driven concrete saws during concrete sawing operations. Provide adequate illumination for nighttime sawing. G. Grinding Equipment.

Provide equipment with automatic grade control capable of grinding at least a 3-ft. width longitudinally in each pass without damaging the concrete. 3of13 360.4. Construction. Obtain approval for adjustments to plan grade -line to maintain thickness over minor subgrade or base high spots while maintaining clearances and drainage. Maintain subgrade or base in a smooth, clean, compacted condition in conformity with the required section and established grade until the pavement concrete is placed. Keep subgrade or base damp with water sufficiently in advance of placing pavement concrete. Adequately light the active work areas for all nighttime operations, if required. A. Reinforcing Steel and Joint Assemblies. Accurately place and secure in position all reinforcing steel as shown on the plans. Place dowels at mid -depth of the pavement slab, parallel to the surface. Place dowels for transverse contraction joints parallel to the pavement edge. Tolerances for location and alignment of dowels will be shown on the plans. Stagger the longitudinal reinforcement splices to avoid having more than 1/3 of the splices within a 2-ft. longitudinal length of each lane of the pavement. Use multiple -piece tie bars or drill and epoxy grout tie bars at longitudinal construction joints. 1. Manual Placement. Secure reinforcing bars at alternate intersections with wire ties or locking support chairs. Tie all splices with wire. 2. Mechanical Placement. If mechanical placement of reinforcement results in steel misalignment or improper location, poor concrete consolidation, or other inadequacies, complete the work using manual methods. B. Joints. Install joints as shown on the plans. Clean and seal joints in accordance with Item 438, "Cleaning and Sealing Joints and Cracks (Rigid Pavement and Bridge Decks)." Repair excessive spalling of the joint saw groove using an approved method before installing the sealant. Seal all joints before opening the pavement to all traffic. When placing of concrete is stopped, install a rigid transverse bulkhead, accurately notched for the reinforcing steel and shaped accurately to the cross-section of the pavement. -- 1. Placing Reinforcement at Joints. Where the plans require an assembly of parts at pavement joints, complete and place the assembly at the required location and elevation with all parts rigidly secured in the required position. Accurately notch joint materials for the reinforcing steel. 2. Curb Joints. Provide joints in the curb of the same type and location as the adjacent pavement. Use expansion joint material of the same thickness, type, and quality required for the pavement and of the section shown for the curb. Extend expansion ` joints through the curb. Construct curb joints at all transverse pavement joints. For non -monolithic curbs, place reinforcing steel into the plastic concrete pavement as shown on the plans unless otherwise approved. Form or saw the weakened plane joint across the full width of concrete pavement and through the monolithic curbs. C. Placing and Removing Forms. Use clean and oiled forms. Secure forms on a base or 4of13 firm subgrade that is accurately graded and that provides stable support without deflection and movement by form riding equipment. Pin every form at least at the middle and near each end. Tightly join and key form sections together to prevent relative displacement. Set side forms far enough in advance of concrete placement to permit inspection. Check conformity of the grade, alignment, and stability of forms immediately before placing concrete, and make all necessary corrections. Use a straightedge or other approved method to test the top of forms to ensure that the ride quality requirements for the completed pavement will be met. Stop paving operations if forms settle or deflect more than 1/8 in. under finishing operations. Reset forms to line and grade, and refinish the concrete surface to correct grade. Avoid damage to the edge of the pavement when removing forms. Repair damage resulting from form removal and honeycombed areas with a mortar mix within 24 hr. after form removal unless otherwise approved. Clean joint face and repair honeycombed or damaged areas within 24 hr. after a bulkhead for a transverse construction joint has been removed unless otherwise approved. When forms are removed before 72 hr. after concrete placement, promptly apply membrane curing compound to the edge of the concrete pavement. Forms that are not the same depth as the pavement but are within 2 in. of that depth are permitted if the subbase is trenched or the full width and length of the form base is supported with a firm material to produce the required pavement thickness. Promptly repair the form trench after use. Use flexible or curved wood or metal forms for curves of 100-ft. radius or less. D. Concrete Delivery. Clean delivery equipment as necessary to prevent accumulation of old concrete before loading fresh concrete. Use agitated delivery equipment for concrete designed to have a slump of more than 5 in. Segregated concrete is subject to rejection. Place agitated concrete within 60 min. after batching. Place non -agitated concrete within 45 min. after batching. In hot weather or under conditions causing quick setting of the concrete, times may be reduced by the Engineer. Time limitations may be extended if the Contractor can demonstrate that the concrete can be properly placed, consolidated, and finished without the use of additional water. E. Concrete Placement. Do not allow the pavement edge to deviate from the established paving line by more than 1/2 in. at any point. Place the concrete as near as possible to its final location, and minimize segregation and rehandling. Where hand spreading is necessary, distribute concrete using shovels. Do not use rakes or vibrators to distribute concrete. 5of13 1. Pavement. Consolidate all concrete by approved mechanical vibrators operated on the front of the paving equipment. Use immersion -type vibrators that simultaneously consolidate the full width of the placement when machine finishing. Keep vibrators from dislodging reinforcement. Use hand -operated vibrators to consolidate concrete in areas not accessible to the machine -mounted vibrators. Do not operate machine - mounted vibrators while the paving equipment is stationary. 2. Temperature Restrictions. Place concrete that is between 40°F and 95°F at the time of discharge, except that concrete may be used if it was already in transit when the temperature was found to exceed the allowable maximum. Take immediate corrective action or cease concrete production when the concrete temperature exceeds 95°F. Do not place concrete when the ambient temperature in the shade is below 40'F and falling unless approved. Concrete may be placed when the ambient temperature in the shade is above 35°F and rising or above 40°F. When temperatures warrant protection against freezing, protect the pavement with an approved insulating material capable of protecting the concrete for the specified curing period. Submit for approval proposed measures to protect the concrete from anticipated freezing weather for the first 72 hr. after placement. Repair or replace all concrete damaged by freezing. F. Spreading and Finishing. Finish all concrete pavement with approved self-propelled equipment. Use power -driven spreaders, power -driven vibrators, power -driven strike -off, and screed, or approved alternate equipment. Use the transverse finishing equipment to compact and strike off the concrete to the required section and grade without surface voids. Use float equipment for final finishing. Use concrete with a consistency that allows completion of all finishing operations without addition of water to the surface. Use the minimal amount of water fog mist necessary to maintain a moist surface. Reduce fogging if float or straightedge operations result in excess slurry. 1. Finished Surface. Perform sufficient checks with long -handled 10-ft. and 15-ft. straightedges on the plastic concrete to ensure that the final surface is within the tolerances specified in the contract documents. Check with the straightedge parallel to the centerline. 2. Maintenance of Surface Moisture. Prevent surface drying of the pavement before application of the curing system. Accomplish this by fog applications of evaporation retardant on the pavement surface. Apply evaporation retardant at the rate recommended by the manufacturer. Reapply the evaporation retardant as needed to maintain the concrete surface in a moist condition until curing system is applied. Do 6of13 not use evaporation retardant as a finishing aid. 3. Surface Texturing. Perform surface texturing using a combination of a carpet drag and metal tining, if required by the contract documents. Complete final texturing before the concrete has attained its initial set. Draw the carpet drag longitudinally along the pavement surface with the carpet contact surface area adjusted to provide a satisfactory coarsely textured surface. Operate the metal -tine device to obtain grooves spaced at 1 in., approximately 3/16 in. deep, with a minimum depth of 1/8 in., and approximately 1/12 in. wide. Do not overlap a previously tined area. Use manual methods for achieving similar results on ramps and other irregular sections of pavements. Repair damage to the edge of the slab and joints immediately after texturing. Do not tine pavement that will be overlaid. 4. Small or Irregular Placements. Where machine placements and finishing of concrete pavement are not practical, use hand equipment and procedures that produce a consolidated and finished pavement section to the line and grade. 5. Emergency Procedures. Use hand -operated equipment for applying texture, evaporation retardant, and cure in the event of equipment breakdown. G. Curing. Keep the concrete pavement surface from drying by water fogging until the curing material has been applied. Maintain and promptly repair damage to curing materials on exposed surfaces of concrete pavement continuously for at least 3 curing days. A curing day is defined as a 24-hr. period when either the temperature taken in the shade away from artificial heat is above 50OF for at least 19 hr. or when the surface temperature of the concrete is maintained above 40°F for 24 hr. Curing begins when the concrete curing system has been applied. Stop concrete paving if curing compound is not being applied promptly and maintained adequately. Other methods of curing in accordance with Item 420, "Concrete Structures", may be used when specified or approved. 1. Membrane Curing. After texturing and immediately after the free surface moisture has disappeared, spray the concrete surface uniformly with 2 coats of membrane curing compound at an individual application rate of not more than 180 sq. ft. per gallon. Apply the first coat within 10 min. after completing texturing operations. Apply the second coat within 30 min. after completing texturing operations. Before and during application, maintain curing compounds in a uniformly agitated condition, free of settlement. Do not thin or dilute the curing compound. Where the coating shows discontinuities or other defects or if rain falls on the newly coated surface before the film has dried enough to resist damage, apply additional compound at the same rate of coverage to correct the damage. Ensure that the 7of13 curing compound coats the sides of the tining grooves. H. Sawing Joints. Saw joints to the depth shown on the plans as soon as sawing can be w accomplished without damage to the pavement regardless of time of day or weather conditions. Some minor raveling of the saw cut is acceptable. Use a chalk line, string line, sawing template, or other approved method to provide a true joint alignment. Provide enough saws to match the paving production rate to ensure sawing completion at the earliest possible time to avoid uncontrolled cracking. Reduce paving production if necessary to ensure timely sawing of joints. Promptly restore membrane cure damaged within the first 72 hr. of curing. + The sequence and time frame for saw cutting of joints is of critical importance to limit pavement cracking. Sawing of joints shall begin as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to permit sawing without excessive raveling. All saw joints shall be completed before uncontrolled shrinkage cracking occurs and shall be completed as soon as possible under hot weather conditions and within a maximum of 24 hours after saw cutting begins under cool weather conditions. The first transverse contraction joint saw - cut shall be made near the center of the entire section placed on that particular day. The next two transverse contraction joint saw cuts shall then be made approximately half way from the center saw cut to the end of the section on each side. The process shall be -- repeated successively on each side of previously cut transverse contraction joints to consistently cut in half the remaining panels with each saw cut. This process shall be continued until all transverse contraction joint saw cuts are completed. Then all transverse dummy saw joints shall be cut beginning with the one nearest the end where concrete placement began and continuing in the direction of the concrete placement until all dummy saw joints are completed. This overall saw -cutting sequence will result in providing the most rapid and effective stress relief for the pavement, and will help limit random shrinkage cracking. I. Protection of Pavement and Opening to Traffic. Testing for early opening is the responsibility of the Contractor regardless of job -control testing responsibilities unless otherwise shown in the plans or directed. Testing result interpretation for opening to traffic is subject to the approval of the Engineer. 1. Protection of Pavement. Erect and maintain barricades and other standard and approved devices that will exclude all vehicles and equipment from the newly placed pavement for the periods specified. Before opening to traffic, protect the pavement from damage due to crossings using approved methods. Maintain an adequate supply of sheeting or other material to cover and protect fresh concrete surface from weather damage. Apply as needed to protect the pavement surface from weather. 2. Opening Pavement to Traffic. Before opening to traffic, clean pavement, place 8of13 stable material against the pavement edges, seal joints, and perform all other traffic safety related work. 360.5 Acceptance of Reinforced Concrete Pavement. A. Penalty for Deficient Pavement Thickness. There shall be no acceptance of deficient pavement thickness other than the tolerances specified below. 1. Pavement thickness deficiency up to 0.25-inch will be considered as satisfactory and the contract unit price will be used for payment if the average thickness within the project meets or exceeds the specified designed thickness. 2. Deficiencies of greater than 0.25-inch shall be removed and replaced with pavement of plan thickness at contractor's entire expense. B. Cracked Concrete Acceptance Policy. The criteria for acceptance or rejection of reinforced concrete that is cracked is as follows:. 1. DEFINITIONS a. Minor crack — A crack of no more than 5 feet in length and does not extend i.) from the edge of a slab or from a pavement joint, or; ii.) the depth to the reinforcement steel of the concrete slab, or; iii.) an intermediate crack that is designated as a minor crack under Monitor Pavement Option 2. b. Intermediate Crack — A crack that extends from any edge of slab or joint a distance of no more than 5 feet. c. Structural or Maior crack — A crack i.) of greater than 5 feet, or; ii.) that extends from the edge of a slab or from a pavement joint to any other edge of slab or joint, or; iii.) extends the full depth of the concrete slab, or; iv.) an intermediate crack that is designated as a structural crack under Monitor Pavement Option 2. d. Citv Enaineer — In the application of this policy, the City Engineer is the Director of the Department of Engineering or his designee. 2. ACCEPTABLE PAVEMENT — NO ACTION IS NECESSARY: A concrete panel with four (4) or less minor cracks as defined above is acceptable. (See Figure 1). No action is necessary and no routina and sealina is allowed. 9of13 I PLAN PROFILE Figure 1 - No action is necessary 3. MONITORED PAVEMENT A concrete pavement with one intermediate crack as defined above may be acceptable. The contractor has two options. Option No. 1 — The panel may be removed and replaced at contractor expense. Option No. 2 — The limit of the crack shall be identified for future reference by drilling a 1/2" hole at the free end of the crack and sealing the crack with an approved epoxy material. If at the end of the warranty period the crack has not propagated then the crack will be designated as a minor crack. If the crack has propagated then the crack is _ considered a structural crack. 4. STRUCTURALLY CRACKED PAVEMENT — FULL PANEL REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED: A. If a panel contains greater than four (4) minor cracks and those cracks are determined to be caused in whole or in part by a deficiency of material or workmanship, the panel must be removed and replaced by the Contractor at his own expense. (See Figure 2) _ 10 of 13 4 PLAN Fioure 2 - Full Panel replacement is required. PROFILE B. All concrete panels with any structural or major crack as defined above that is determined to be caused, in whole or in part, by a deficiency of material or workmanship must be removed and replaced in their entirety by the Contractor at his own expense. (See Figures 3 and 4 below) PLAN Fioure 3 - Full Panel replacement is required. Y MM 11 of 13 Figure 4 - Full panel replacement is reauired. C. If the edge of existing concrete pavement is damaged during the construction of adjacent pavement; the damaged panel(s) must be removed and replaced in its entirety by the Contractor at his own expense. 5. APPLICATION AND FINAL DETERMINATION OF POLICY It is not the intention of this policy that the Contractor is required to remove and replace at his own expense any concrete that cracks due solely to causes other than his own materials and/or workmanship. It is possible that a structural crack or cracks have been '- caused by a combination of factors. It is the policy that if a deficiency of materials and/or workmanship is found to be a contributing cause, then the contractor shall remove and replace the panels that contain the crack or cracks at no expense to the City. If cracks exist in the project, the City Engineer or his/her designee will make the determination if the crack is minor or structural which determination shall be final. If the crack is structural, the Contractor and the City will attempt to agree on the cause or causes of the crack. If the Contractor and City agree that the cause of a structural crack requiring removal and replacement is at least in part due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship, the concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Contractor's entire expense. If the Contractor and City cannot agree as to the cause of a structural crack, the City may hire an independent geotechnical engineer to perform testing and analysis to determine the cause of the crack. The contractor will escrow 50% of the proposed costs of the geotechnical contract with the City. If the City's hired geotechnical engineer determines that the cause of a structural crack is at least in part due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship, the concrete pavement will be removed and replaced at Contractor's entire expense and the — Contractor will also pay the City for the entire cost of the geotechnical investigation. If the City's hired geotechnical engineer fails to determine that the cause of the structural crack is due to Contractor's deficient material or workmanship, the concrete pavement will not be removed and replaced without additional compensation to the Contractor. In 12 of 13 turn, the Contractor's escrowed funds, as described above, will be released. 360.6 Measurement. "Reinforced Concrete Pavement" will be measured by the square yard, or as otherwise shown in the bid documents, of completed and accepted pavement. The price bid for reinforced concrete pavement, as shown on the proposal, will be full payment for furnishing and laying the reinforced concrete pavement, including the foundation course, and for all labor, equipment, materials, tools and incidentals necessary to complete the work. Measurement for reinforced concrete pavement shall be measured in its final position between the lips of the gutters. 360.7 Payment. The work performed and materials furnished as prescribed by this item and measured as provided under "Measurement" will be paid for at the unit price bid per square yard, or as otherwise indicated in the bid documents, which price shall be full compensation for shaping and fine grading the roadbed, including furnishing and applying all water required; for furnishing, loading and unloading, storing, hauling, and handling all concrete ingredients, including all freight and royalty involved; for mixing, placing, finishing and curing all concrete; for furnishing and installing all reinforcing steel; for furnishing all materials and placing longitudinal, warping, expansion, and contraction joints including all steel dowels, dowel caps, and load transmission units required, wire and devices for placing, holding and supporting the steel bars, load transmission units, and joint filler material in the proper position; for coating steel bars where required by the plans; for all manipulations, labor, equipment, appliances, tools, traffic provisions, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. 13 of 13 1 ( tc-I L-E F L_I l 7 F IDENTIFICATION POLYMER CONCRETE COVER — LIFT EYE COHWR__,r1t IB' MIN. 1'CRUSHED MAINTAIN MINIMUM :' `:. s�;; ,. `✓ �J STONE CLEARANCE OF B''` ✓`-i� ��i BETWEEN BOTTOM OF LID AND TOP OF 2' OONDUIT, NOMINAL NOMINAL BOX DIMENSION!
