Material Sources: The material shall be secured from sources approved by the Engineer. The pits as utilized shall be opened up in such manner as to immediately expose the vertical faces of all of the various strata of acceptable material, and unless otherwise directed, the material shall be secured in successive vertical cuts extending through all of the exposed strata. Page 14 of 23 i 1 I~ , r - O r Y I y i . I, I' I i d. Construction Methods: 1. Preparation of Subgrade: The roadbed shall be excavated and shaped in conformity with the typical sections shown on Plans and to the lines and grades as established by the Engineer. All unstable or otherwise objectionable materials shall be removed from the subgrade and replaced with approved material. All holes, ruts and depressions shall be filled with approved material, and if required, the subgrade shall be thoroughly wetted with water and reshaped and rolled to the extent directed in order to place the subgrade in an acceptable condition to receive the base material. The surface of the subgrade shall be finished to line and grade as established and in conformity with the typical section shown on Plans, and any deviation in excess of 0.04 feet in cross-section and in a length of sixteen (16) feet measured longitudinally shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing material, reshaping and compacting by sprinkling and rolling. Sufficient subgrade shall be prepared in advance to insure satisfactory prosecution of the work. Material excavated in the preparation of the subgrade shall be utilized in the construction of adjacent shoulders and slopes or otherwise disposed of as directed, and any additional material required for the completion of the shoulders and slopes shall be secured from sources indicated on Plans or designated by the Engineer. Lime stabilization of subgrade material will be required on all Arterial streets. Lime stabilization of subgrade materil will be required on all Collector and Local streets if the plasticity index (PI) of the material exceeds 18, as established by testing accoording to SDHPT Test Method Tex-106-E. Lime stabilization will be conducted in accordance with City of College Station, Standard Specifications of Street Construction, latest edition, Specification No. 204. Cement stabilization of subgrade material will be required on any street if the plasticity index (PI) is less than 4, as established by testing according to SDHPT Test Method Tex 106-E. Cement stabilization will be conducted in accordance with City of College Station, Standard Specifications of Street Construction, latest edition, Specification No. 203. 2. First Course: Immediately before placing the base material, the subgrade shall be checked as to conformity with grade and section. The material shall be delivered in approved vehicles of a uniform capacity, and it shall be the charge of the °I Contractor that the required amount of specified material shall be delivered in each one hundred (100) I Page 15 of 23 Voi PAGE ^ ~ '~°R*^+ Ire can 11'~ I r l r 1 1 . foot station. Material deposited upon the subgrade / shall be spread and shaped the same day. In the event inclement weather or other unforseen circumstances render impractical the spreading of the material during I I r, it i s t i the first twenty-four (24) hour period, the material shall be scarified and spread as directed by the Engineer. The material shall be sprinkled, if directed, and shall then be bladed, dragged, and shaped to conform to typical sections as shown on Plans. All areas and "nests" of segregated coarse or fine material shall be corrected or removed and replaced with well graded material, as directed by the Engineer. If additional binder is considered desirable or necessary after the material is spread and shaped, it shall be furnished and applied in the amount directed by the Engineer. Such binder material shall be carefully and evenly incorporated with the material in place by scarifying, harrowing, brooming, or by other approved methods. The course shall then be sprinkled as required and rolled as directed until a uniform compaction is secured. Throughout this entire operation, the shape of the course shall be maintained by blading and the surface upon completion shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical sections shown on Plans and to the established lines and grades. In that area on which pavement is to be placed, any deviation in excess of 0.04 feet in cross-section and in a length of sixteen (16) feet measured longitudinally shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing material, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. All irregularities, depressions or weak spots which develop shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas affected, adding suitable material as required, reshaping and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. The utilization of traffic to compact and bind the base course or courses is an essential part of the contract and is of prime importance to the satisfactory completion of the work. As directed by the Engineer, each course shall be opened to traffic, and the Contractor shall direct and distribute the traffic uniformly over the entire width of the course. During the period traffic is being directed overthe course, the surface shall be satisfactorily maintained by the use of a sufficient number of approved blades, drags, and such other equipment as is required, and these operations shall continue until the base course is sufficiently compacted to ninety-five (95) percent of the SDHPT Test Method Tex-113-E Density within plus or minus two (2) percent of optimum moisture content. 3. Succeeding Courses: Construction methods shall bf the same as prescribed for the first course. t Page 16 of 23 VO L P~ _PAGE Z t {1 ~ d r - - V r e. Measurement: Crushed stone will be measured by the square yard, complete in place, by the cubic yard, loose vehicle measurement, or by the cubic yard, complete in place as indicated in the proposal. f. Payment: This item will be paid for at the contract unit price bid for"Flexible Base" which price shallbe full compensation for all work herein specified, including the furnishing, hauling, and placing of all materials, for all water required, and for all equipment, tools, labor, and incidentals necessary to complete the work. The cost of testing and inspection will be paid by the developer. 3. TWO COURSE TREATMENT a.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS (First and Second course) 1. Base Preparation: Apply asphalt only when temperature is above 55 O F. and is rising. Take temperature in shade and away from artificial heat. Place no asphalt when general weather conditions, in opinion of Engineer, are not suitable. Clean base surface of dirt, dust, or other deleterious matter by sweeping with rotary broom or other acceptable means. If necessary, sprinkle lightly with water just prior to application of asphalt. 2. Heating Asphalt: Keep clean and in good operating condition at all times all storage tanks, piping, retorts, booster tank, and distributors used in storing ' or handling asphalt. Operate all equipment in such manner as to prevent contamination of asphalt with foreign material. Do not heat asphalt above 400 O F. at any time, and apply at temperature of not less than 275 o F. and not more than 375 O F. All asphalt material heated above 400 o F will be rejected. I 3. Asphalt Application Rate: Apply to clean base at rate of approximately 0.33 gallon of asphalt per square yard. Minimum application rate of 0.25 gallon per square yard and maximum of 0.40 gallon per square yard. 4. Applying Asphalt: Apply on clean surface with j approved type of self-propelled pressure distributor, operated as to distribute material in quantity specified, evenly and smoothly, under pressure for proper distribution. Provide all necessary facilities for determining temperature of asphalt and for securing uniformity at junction of two distributor loads. Apply full width of surface in one application. 5. Aggregate Application Rate: Not less than one cubic yard of aggregate per one hundred square yards of surface. Not more than one cubic yard of aggregate per eighty square yards of surface. 6. Applying Aggregate: Cover asphalt with aggregate in amount specified and blade with wire dragbroom t maintainer or other approved leveling device. After applying aggregate, broom and roll entire surface with self-propelled, three-wheeled roller, weighing between three and eight tons. Pneumatic roller may be used if size and type meet approval of Engineer. Repeat brooming and rolling on two successive working days after application of aggregate for each application.
