Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates" after extraction of asphalt.
(b) Asphalt content analysis shall be performed for RAP in accordance with Method
"A" of ASTM D 2172 , "Standard Test Methods for Quantitative Extraction of

Bitumen from Bituminous Paving Mixtures" where the RAP content exceeds
30%. For mixtures with RAP contents less than 30%, asphalt content may be
determined using ASTM D6307.
(c) The asphalt cement used shall be determined as follows:
(i) For RAP contents of up to 20%, the asphalt grade shall be as specified in
the mix design.
(ii) For RAP contents from 20% up to 30%, the asphalt grade shall be
decreased one temperature range. For example, a design PG 64-22
would be decreased to a PG 58-22 with a viscosity in the range of 800 to
1200 poises.
(iii) For RAP contents from 30% to 50%, the asphalt grade of the new asphalt
shall be determined using the procedures outlined in MS-2, 6th Edition,
Appendix A.

stockpiles separated into surface and base. The RAP and/or RAM shall be
processed such that 100% will pass the 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) sieve and 90% will
pass the 1-inch sieve.
(d) The final product shall be free of foreign matter (e.g., old planer teeth, ice, wood,
soil, broken sewer castings, loop detector wire, protective membranes,
rubberized joint filler materials and foil turn lane markers, trash, debris, etc.)
4. Mix Design Requirements: The necessary steps for a final mix design for recycled
mixtures, shall be done in accordance with the Asphalt Institute's Manual MS-2 Sixth
Edition in the appendix entitled "Mix Design Using RAP
When a change in the RAP and/or RAM percentage exceeds 15% of the original
amount of RAP and/or RAM in the mix design, a new mix design must be submitted.
5. Asphalt Plant Requirements: All delivery tickets shall designate the type of recycled
mix, (RC-Type 1-01, RC-Type 2-01, RC-Type 3-01, or RC-Type 401).
D. Mix Design Criteria: Laboratory Test Specimen(s) of the Paving Mix, combined in
proportions of the job-mix formula, shall be prepared and tested in accordance with
AASHTO T 245 and the volumetric properties of the compacted paving mixtures as
calculated by ASTM procedures using Chapter 4 of the Mix Design Methods for Asphalt
Concrete and other Hot-Mix types (MS-2), Sixth Edition, Asphalt Institute referred hereafter
as “MS-2”. The Marshall procedure and the Voids in the Mineral Aggregate (VMA) shall be
as specified in Chapter 5 of the MS-2. The automatic Marshall Hammer may be used when
it has been calibrated with a manual hammer.
Optionally, for mix type 5-01 and/or 6-01 a SuperGyratory Compactor (SGC)may be used to
prepare the asphalt samples for design and quality control testing. The gyratory values to
be used for this purpose are Ninitial = 6, Ndesign = 50, and Nmax = 75. If this option is selected,
Marshall stability and flow measurements will be waived during design and production. At
Ninitial ,the specific gravity of the specimen must be 90.5% or less of Gmm, at Nmax the specific
gravity of the specimen must be 98% or less of Gmm
The material for the theoretical specific gravity ASTM D 2041 and the material for the
Marshall specimens (pucks) shall be cured at 285+/-5ºF for two hours in a closed oven after
the mix is produced in the laboratory. Also, the plant-produced mixture shall be tested when
the mix is two hours old. The mixture shall be transported to the laboratory in an insulated
container and then stored in a laboratory oven at 140 +/-3°C for the remainder of the curing
period. This procedure shall be used when the water-absorption as determined by ASTM C
127 and ASTM C 128 of any aggregate in the mixture exceeds 1.25%. The mixture shall be
compacted at 140 +/-3°C.
Test requirements and criteria for the paving mixes under these specifications shall be as
follows:
1. Marshall Stability: 1500 lbs. (Types 1-01, 2-01, 3-01, and 4-01), 1800 lbs (Types 5-01
& 6-01)
2. No. of Compaction Blows: 50 (for Types 1-01, 2-01, 3-01, and 4-01), 75 (for Types 5-
01 & 6-01)
3. Flow: 0.08” – 0.16” max (Types 1-01 – 4-01), 0.14” inches max (Types 5-01 & 6-01)
4. Air Voids (Laboratory Specimen):
(a) Base 3-5%
(b) Surface 3-5%
5. Voids filled with asphalt; percent (VFA) Types 5-01 & 6-01: 65-75 Percent
6. Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA)

The VMA properties for mixes 1-01,2-01,3-01, & 4-01 shall be measured in accordance with
the procedure described herein and reported on the material data forms; however, there is
no minimum criteria controlling VMA associated with these material gradations.
The VMA for Mix Types 5-01 & 6-01 shall be the minimum value allowed. For these mixes,
the asphalt content should be just to the left side of the low point on the VMA vs. Asphalt
Percent curve, not to the “wet” or right (increasing) side of the curve.
The VMA requirements shown represent values that may be higher than those obtained in
the KC Metropolitan area using locally available materials. The minimum values are values
recommended by the Asphalt Institute in MS-2 6th Edition for high quality asphaltic
concretes, but may require the use of non-local aggregates. VMA values shown are for 4%
air voids and should be used for the design of conventional roadway pavements. During

production, the voids can be expected to vary plus or minus 1% of this design value of 4%.
Under these conditions, the minimum allowable VMA values should be calculated by
interpolation of the chart in MS-2, 6th Edition. For mix types 1-01, 2-01, 3-01, and 4-01, 3%
air voids may be used for design. and production may be allowed to vary plus or minus 1%
of the design value.
The ratio of minus 200 material to % Effective asphalt cement (Peff) based on the weight of
the aggregate shall be between 0.6-1.2 for Types 5-01 and 6-01.
The blend of RAP and/or RAM and virgin aggregates or non-recycled asphalts shall be
checked for resistance to stripping using AASHTO T 283 to determine if an anti-stripping
agent is needed for the same asphalt chosen for the project. The index of retained strength
shall exceed 75% for Types 1-01 – 4-01, and 80% for types 5-01 and 6-01.
E. Sampling and Testing of the Mixture: Mixes shall be sampled in accordance with ASTM
D 979 and tested in accordance with AASHTO T 245. The mixtures will be tested for binder
content in accordance with ASTM D 2172 or D 6307. The recovered aggregate will be
sieved in accordance with ASTM D 5444.
F. Mixture Temperature Requirements: The temperature of the completed mix at the plant
and at the paver shall be set by the Contractor who shall consider hauling and placing
conditions, asphalt specifications as set forth in section 2205.2, and weather limitations set
forth in section 2205.8 (B) of APWA Construction and Material Specifications. The
temperature of Types 5-01 and 6-01 shall not exceed 315° F at the point of discharge from
the asphalt plant when using PG 64-22 asphaltic oil.
When the mix is produced in a batch-type plant, the aggregate shall be weighed accurately
in the designated proportions to provide the specified batch weight. The temperature of the
aggregate at the time of introduction into the mixer shall be determined by the contractor,
with a tolerance of + or - 25º F. In no case, however, shall the temperature of the mixture
exceed the maximum temperature recommended by the manufacturer or supplier of the
asphaltic cement (generally 350º F).
G. Control of Mixing Time: The contractor shall control mixing time to produce asphaltic
concrete that is uniformly and thoroughly coated with asphaltic cement.
H. Preparation of Asphalt Cement: The asphalt shall be heated so that it can be distributed
uniformly throughout the mix. For mixing applications, the specified temperature generally
will be such that the asphalt viscosity is within the range of 150-190 centistokes and shall
not exceed 350º F. The material shall be sufficiently fluid to produce a complete coating on
every particle of aggregate within the specified mixing time.
The contractor shall maintain calibrated temperature monitoring equipment at the point of
discharge from the asphalt plant and at the asphalt tank, and shall supply temperature
records upon request.
I. Preparation and Handling of Aggregate: Coarse and fine aggregate shall be stored at the
plant in such a manner that the separate sizes will not become intermixed. Cold aggregates
shall be carefully fed to the plant in such proportions that surpluses and shortages in the
bins will not cause breaks in the continuous operation. When loading aggregate into
stockpiles, and into cars, barges, and trucks, the material shall be placed in such a manner
as to prevent segregation of aggregate sizes. Stockpiles shall be built in uniform layers not
exceeding 5 feet in depth.
1. Samples: Samples of coarse and fine aggregate shall be submitted to the Engineer for
testing upon request. The contractor shall be responsible for the preparation and

handling of aggregates to insure that the cold-feed gradations fall within the mix design
limits. Cold-feed gradation tests shall be taken as requested by the Engineer.
2. Drying: The aggregate shall be thoroughly dried and heated to provide a paving mix
temperature within a tolerance of + or – 25º F, of that specified by the approved mix
design. The moisture content of the heated and dried aggregate shall not exceed 0.5%.
The quantity of material fed through the dryer shall in all cases, be held to an amount
which can be thoroughly dried and heated.
J. Inspection and Control of Asphalt Mixing Plant:
1. Tests: During production the plant shall have the following tests performed by an
approved laboratory: AC content, extracted gradation, Marshall density, stability, voids,
vma, vfa and max theoretical density. Laboratories shall be approved if they are:

agency.
2. Availability of test reports: The results of the latest current test report shall be furnished
to the Engineer upon request. All test reports shall be kept at the plant, and shall be
made available upon request. If the mix is found to be outside of tolerance, or outside
the specification limits as specified in Section 2205.3 of APWA Construction and
Material Specifications, correction shall be made. Test reports shall be furnished on the
following “Asphalt Concrete Test” form.
3. Frequency of testing: For mixes 1-01 through 4-01, the tests listed in paragraph 1 shall
be performed every 3000 tons of asphalt production except during initial startup, or
whenever the production asphalt fails one of the following conditions at which time they
will be tested every 1000 tons until four consecutive tests show compliance with the
specifications:
(a) Production void content measured at the plant discharge is 1% below laboratory
mix design void content, or more than 5% total void content.
(b) Extracted gradation of the production asphalt exceeds the permissible gradation
variation for the mix type being produced.
(c) Asphalt cement exceeds the content variation for the mix type being produced.
4. Frequency of testing: For mixes 5-01 and 6-01, the tests listed in paragraph 1 shall be
performed once per day of production, or every 1000 tons , whichever is less frequent
except during initial startup; or whenever the production fails one of the following
conditions at which time they will be tested every 500 tons, or twice per day of
production, whichever is less frequent until 4 consecutive tests show compliance with
the specifications:
(a) Production void content measured at the plant discharge is less than 3% or more
than 5% Extracted gradation of the production asphalt exceeds the permissible
gradation variation for the mix type being produced.

(b) Production vma measured at the plant discharge is below the design minimum
vma.
(c) Production vfa measured at the plant discharge is outside the allowable range.
5. Redesign of Asphalt mixes: If four consecutive tests performed as described in
paragraph 3 or 4 above show noncompliance with the specifications as enumerated in
the subparagraphs of paragraph 3 or 4 above, production of that type of asphalt will
immediately cease, and may not be resumed until a new mix design is submitted and
approved, or the plant can demonstrate to the engineer an ability to meet
specifications. Resumption of asphalt production after a mix redesign or failure of four
consecutive tests to meet specifications will be treated as an initial startup for testing
purposes.

quality control plan required by the state highway agency is a suggested standard.
2.04 TRANSPORTATION OF MIX

The mix shall be transported to the job site in vehicles with tight metal bottoms, clean of all
foreign material which may affect the mix. If a release agent is used, it must comply with State
and Federal environmental regulations. The dispatching of the vehicles shall be so scheduled
that all materials delivered may be placed in daylight unless the Engineer approves artificial
light. Delivery of the material to the paver shall be at a uniform rate and in an amount within the
capacity of the paving and compacting equipment.
Haul trucks shall be provided with covers of sufficient size and weight to completely cover the
truck bed to protect the load and to prevent cooling of the upper surface. Failure to have the
load completely covered shall be sufficient cause for rejection of the entire load. The load shall
remain covered until the truck is next in line to be unloaded. In no case shall a load remain
uncovered for more than 10 minutes before starting to use the load. If for any reason there is a
delay in completely using a load, the remaining part of the load shall be recovered until it can be
used. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to inform all truck drivers of these provisions
before starting work.
2.05 SCALES AND WEIGHING OF VEHICLES:

The vehicle's tare and gross weight shall be established by actually weighing the vehicle on a
certified scale. The tare weight will be established at least twice each day. The vehicle, when
establishing tare, shall be clean, bed empty, fuel tanks filled and shall have all side and back
boards in place.
A. Measurement by Weight: Measurement will be made by weighing each truck load on
scales conforming to the requirements of 2205.6 B “Vehicle Scales” of APWA Construction
and Material Specifications.
B. Vehicle Scales: Vehicle scales shall be approved by the engineer and shall conform to the
requirements specified herein. The specifications, tolerances, and other technical
requirements for weighing and measuring devices as recommended by the National
Conference on Weights and Measures and published in the National Institute of Standards
and Technology Handbook 44, Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical
Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices, and supplements thereto or revisions
thereof, shall apply to all vehicles scales used.
C. Scale Acceptance: Scale acceptance shall be based on one of the following:
1. A valid certification or seal of approval by the Division of Weights and Measures from
the state.

2. A certification of calibration from a commercial scale service company showing that the
scale meets the requirements of these specifications. The contractor shall furnish the
certification of calibration to the Engineer.
D. Scale Calibration: Scales shall have been calibrated within the nine month period prior to
any material being delivered, or at any time the Engineer has cause to question the
accuracy of the scale. Scales shall meet the requirements of Accuracy Class III L as
defined in Handbook 44 (above).
Verification of a vehicle scale may be required by weighing a hauling unit on another
recently calibrated and certified scale.
If equipment to be weighed is of such length that all axles cannot be weighed
simultaneously, a level paved surface shall be provided permitting those axles not on the
scale platform to be supported by the paved surface. The approach shall be at least as
wide as the platform and of sufficient length to insure the level positioning of vehicles during
weight determinations. The weighing shall be performed with all brakes released. If
equipment to be weighed is equipped with an air bag suspension unit on any axle, the
equipment including semi-trailers or pup trailers shall be weighed on vehicle scales of
sufficient size to weigh all axles of the combination simultaneously.
All cost incurred in obtaining a certification of calibration or verification shall be borne by the
contractor.
2.06 EQUIPMENT
All asphalt paving equipment used by the Contractor shall meet the requirements of this section
and shall be maintained in acceptable mechanical condition. Equipment shall be serviced and
lubricated away from the paving site. Units that drip fuel, oil, grease or other fluids shall be
removed from the project until such leakage is corrected.
A. Pavers and Laydown Machines: Mechanical self-powered pavers shall be capable of
spreading the mix within the specified tolerances, true to the line, grade and crown
indicated on the plans.
Pavers shall be equipped with quick and efficient steering devices and shall be capable of
traveling both forward and in reverse. They shall be equipped with hoppers and distributing
screws that place the mix evenly in front of the adjustable screeds. They shall be equipped
with either a vibrating screed or a tamping bar immediately preceding a static screed.
There shall be sufficient auxiliary attachments for the paving machine so that it may be
operated to lay the necessary width as determined in the field by the engineer. Vibrating
screed or tamp bars shall be provided for the full width of all paving operations.
The screed shall include a strike-off device which is effective on mixes at workable
temperatures without tearing, shoving or gouging them, and which produces a finished
surface of an even and uniform texture. The screed shall be adjustable as to the height and
crown and shall be equipped with a controlled heating device for use when required.
However, for irregular width paving, hydraulic extensions without tamping bars or a
vibrating screed may be used only along the curb or outer edge of pavement.
1. Automatic Screed Controls: The paver shall be equipped with and use an approved
system capable of automatically controlling the elevation and transverse slope of the
paver screed unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. An erected stringline,
traveling stringline or other approved device operating on the roadbed being paved or
the surface of the previously placed lane shall be used to establish the grade
reference. The grade reference device shall operate on either or both sides of the

paver as required and shall be capable of maintaining the desired transverse slope
regardless of changes in the screed elevation.
2. The traveling string-line shall be constructed in such a manner that it does not vibrate
or cause the sensor to make erroneous readings during the laydown operation. The
length of the beam to be used shall be approved by the Engineer and shall be between
20 feet and 40 feet.
3. The use of the automatic screed control devices on asphalt pavers will not be required
for paving small irregular areas, entrances, approaches, or side street connections.
4. Automatic screed control devices will be required for matching the joint with all
previously laid strips, except for those areas noted above.
B. Rollers: Compaction equipment shall consist of vibratory steel wheel, static steel wheel
and pneumatic-tired rollers unless otherwise directed by the engineer. They shall be self-
propelled and equipped with such controls that starting, stopping and reversing direction
can be accomplished without displacing the hot asphaltic concrete pavement.
Rollers shall be equipped with adjustable scrapers to keep the wheel surfaces clean and
with efficient means of keeping them wet to prevent mixes from sticking. The roller surfaces
shall have no flat areas, openings or projections that will mar the surface of the pavement.
1. Steel-Wheeled Rollers: Steel-Wheeled Rollers shall be vibratory two-axle tandem
rollers. These rollers shall develop contact pressure of 250 to 350 pounds per inch of
width (vibratory mode) or 150 to 180 pounds per inch of width (static). Rollers shall be
in good working condition.
2. Pneumatic-Tired Rollers: Heavy pneumatic-tired rollers shall be self-propelled and
shall consist of two axles on which are mounted an odd number of pneumatic tired
wheels. The roller shall have at least nine pneumatic-tired wheels mounted in such a
manner that the rear group of wheels will not follow in the tracks of the forward group,
but shall be spaced to give essentially uniform coverage with each pass. Axles shall be
mounted in a rigid frame provided with a loading platform or body suitable for ballast
loading. Tires shall be smooth, inflated to 90 p.s.i. Construction of the roller shall be
such that each wheel is loaded to a minimum of 2,300 pounds.
3. Trench Rollers: Trench rollers shall have an auxiliary wheel that operates outside the
area to be compacted at such a distance from the pavement edge as to cause no
damage thereto. It shall be mounted upon an axle that is adjustable in height. The
auxiliary wheel shall be kept in adjustment so that the compression wheels will develop
a smooth, compacted surface true to crown and grade.
The contact pressure of the compression wheels shall be from 250 to 350 pounds per inch
of width.
In lieu of the above requirements pertaining to non-vibratory compaction equipment,
consideration will be given to use other types of equipment that are capable of producing
equivalent results consistent with the requirements of the specifications.
C. Pressure Distributor: The distributor shall be so designed, equipped, maintained and
operated that liquid asphalt at even heat may be applied uniformly on variable widths of
surface up to 15 feet at readily determined and controlled rates from 0.02 to 1.00 gallon per
square yard, with uniform pressure, and with an allowable variation from any specified rate
not to exceed 0.02 gallons per square yard. Distributor equipment shall include a
tachometer, pressure gauges, a calibrated tank and a thermometer for measuring
temperatures of tank contents. Distributors shall be equipped with a power unit for the
pump, and full circulation spray bars adjustable laterally and vertically. The calibration of all
distributors must be approved by the engineer, and the contractor shall furnish all
equipment, material and assistance necessary if calibration is required.
D. Hand Tools: The Contractor shall provide sufficient lutes, rakes, shovels, tamping tools
and other equipment as required to produce results consistent with the specifications.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION
A. Earthwork: All grading and subgrade preparation shall be in compliance with Section 4110
– Grading and Site Preparation and Section 4115 – Subgrade Stabilization.
B. Site Preparation: The area to be paved shall be true to line and grade, and shall have a
properly prepared surface prior to the start of the paving operations. It shall be free from all
loose or foreign material.
Where a base is rough or uneven, a leveling course shall be placed and properly
compacted before the placing of subsequent courses.
When leveling course is not required, all depressions and other irregularities shall be
patched or corrected, and the work approved by the Engineer before the paving operation
begins.
If the surface is to be primed or tacked, it should be done so uniformly in accordance with
the following conditions:
1. Tack Coats: The existing surface shall be free of all dust, loose material, grease or
other foreign material at the time the tack is applied. Any excess surface oil on the
roadway or bituminous joint material will be removed by others without cost to the
contractor before the tack is applied.
2. Prime Coats: The surface to be primed shall be shaped to the required grade and
cross section, shall be free from all ruts, corrugations, segregated material or other
irregularities, and shall be uniformly compacted by rolling. The surface shall be firm
and slightly damp when primer is applied. Delays in priming may necessitate
reprocessing or reshaping to provide a smooth compacted surface.
The surfaces of curbs, gutters, vertical faces of existing pavements and all structures in
actual contact with asphalt mixes shall be painted with a thin, complete coating of asphaltic
material to provide a closely bonded, watertight joint.
C. Temperature Limitations: When the moisture of the aggregate in the stockpile or from the
dryer interferes with the quality of mix production, or with normal plant operations, or when
pools of water are observed on the surface to be paved, the mixing and placing of hot-mix
asphalt will not be permitted without the permission of the Engineer.
Hot Mix asphalt for base course paving shall not be mixed or placed when the ambient air
or base temperature is below 40º F, or when there is frost in the subgrade or any other time
when weather conditions are unsuitable for the type of material being placed without
expressed approval of the Engineer.
Hot Mix asphalt for surface course paving shall not be mixed or placed when the ambient
air or base temperature is below 50º F, or when there is frost in the subgrade or any other
time when weather conditions are unsuitable for the type of material being placed without
expressed approval of the Engineer.

Asphalt mix laydown temperatures and rolling times shall conform to the following table:
Minimum Laydown Temperature
Base Temp (°F) 1-1/2” 2” 3” & Greater

40-50 300° F 285° F 275° F

90+ 265° F 260° F 255° F

12 minutes
Rolling Time 15 minutes 15 minutes
Regardless of the temperature, final acceptance of the asphalt mat shall be based on
density determined in accordance with section 2205.8 (E) of APWA Construction and
Materials Specification. Rolling times shown are maximum times during which target
density must be achieved.
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Application of Tack Coats: Asphalt emulsion shall be applied uniformly with a pressure
distributor at the rate specified in the contract, or as revised by the engineer to be within a
minimum of 0.05 and a maximum of 0.15 gallons per square yard. Water may be added to
the asphalt emulsion and mixed therewith in such proportion that the resulting mixture will
contain no more than 50% of added water, the quantity of added water to be approved by
the engineer. The application of the resulting mixture shall be such that the original
emulsion will be spread at the specified rate. The asphalt emulsion shall be heated at the
time of application to a temperature in accordance with the limits provided in Sec 2204.2 of
APWA Construction and Materials Specifications, or as specified in the contract. The tack
shall be properly cured and the tacked surface shall be cleaned of all dirt and surplus sand
before the next course of HMA is placed.
The tack coat shall be applied in such manner as to minimize exposure to vehicular traffic
and, if necessary, to permit one-way traffic without pickup or tracking of the asphalt
emulsion.
B. Application of Prime Coats: Bituminous material shall be applied to the width of the
section to be primed by means of a pressure distributor in a uniform, continuous spread.
The subgrade shall be moistened before the prime is applied. The application rate shall be
as specified in the contract or as approved by the engineer between 0.1 and 0.5 gallons per
square yard. The primer shall be heated at the time of application to a temperature in
accordance with the limits provided in Sec 2204.2 of APWA Construction and Materials
Specifications, or as specified in the contract.
Care shall be taken that the application of bituminous material at the junctions of spreads is
not in excess of the specified quantity. Building paper shall be placed over the end of the
previous applications and the joining application shall start on the building paper. Building

paper used shall be removed and satisfactorily disposed of. Pools of primer material
remaining on the surface after the application shall be removed.
When traffic is maintained, not more than one half of the width of the section shall be
treated in one application and one-way traffic will be permitted on the untreated portion of
the roadbed. As soon as the bituminous material has been absorbed by the surface and will
not pick up, traffic shall be routed to the treated portion and the remaining width of the
section will be primed.
The primer shall be properly cured, and the primed surface shall be cleaned of all dirt and
surplus sand before the next course is placed.
C. Application of Sand Cover: If the tack or prime coat is not completely cured within the
maximum specified curing time, and it is necessary to open the section of roadway to traffic,
sufficient sand shall be spread over the surface with a mechanical spreader to blot up the
excess asphalt. The rate of application shall be specified or approved by the Engineer. Prior
to placing an asphalt paving course, all loose sand shall be swept from the primed or
tacked surface.
D. Spreading and Finishing: The spreading and finishing of each course shall be to the
thickness and width indicated on the plans or Special Provisions. The thickness of
individual layers shall not exceed the following for the respective type of mixture. The
suggested minimum lift thickness shall be three times the nominal maximum size of the
mix. Nominal maximum is defined as the first sieve size larger than the sieve which retains
at least 10% of the aggregate by weight.
Maximum Compacted
Asphalt Type
Lift Thickness
Type 1-01 6”
Type 2-01 4”
Type 3-01 3”
Type 4-01 2”
Type 5-01 4”
Type 6-01 3”
Spreading and finishing shall be conducted in the following manner:

1. Mechanical Pavers: The base and surface courses shall be spread and struck-off with
a mechanical paving machine meeting the requirements of Section 2205.7A of APWA
Construction and Materials Specifications, entitled "Pavers and Laydown Machines."
The paving machine shall be operated so that the material does not accumulate and
remain along the sides of the receiving hopper. The wings of the spreader hopper shall
not be emptied (flipped) between truck loads.
(a) Equipment which leaves tracks or indented areas which cannot be corrected in
normal operation, or which produces other permanent blemishes or fails to
produce a satisfactory surface, shall not be used. The screed auger shall be
operated approximately ¾ full and the hopper conveyor shall not be allowed to
run out of material during the paving operation.
(b) Longitudinal joints and edges shall be constructed to true lines. Lines for the
paver to follow in placing individual lanes will be established parallel to the

centerline of the proposed roadway. The paver shall be positioned; and operated
to follow closely the established line.
(c) Sufficient trucks shall be used to continuously supply asphalt to the paver.
Delays in the paving operation shall be kept to a minimum.
(d) The Contractor shall make every effort to minimize the number of passes heavy
equipment makes over uncompleted roadway sections.
(e) When using pavers in echelon, the second paver shall follow the edge of the
material placed by the first paver. The length of each laydown pass shall be
limited, depending on weather conditions, to assure a hot joint and obtain proper
compaction.
(f) As soon as the first load of material has been spread, the texture of the unrolled
surface shall be checked to determine its uniformity. Segregation of materials
shall not be permitted. If segregation occurs, the spreading operation shall be
immediately suspended until the cause is determined and corrected.
(g) Transverse joints in succeeding courses shall be offset at least 2 feet.
Longitudinal Joints shall be offset at least 6 inches. The longitudinal joints shall
be laid out so that the surface joint is under the lane markings where possible.
(h) Any irregularities in alignment left by the paver shall be corrected by trimming
directly behind the machine. Distortion of the pavement during this operation
shall be avoided.
(i) Edges against which additional pavement is to be placed shall be placed on a
30º (2:1) bevel, or as specified by the engineer. Any irregularities in the surface
of the pavement course shall be corrected directly behind the paver. Excess
material forming high spots shall be removed by a shovel or lute. Indented areas
shall be filled with hot mix and smoothed. Broadcasting of material shall not be
permitted.
2. Hand Spreading: In small areas where the use of mechanical finishing equipment is
not practical, the mix may be spread and finished by hand. The material shall be
distributed uniformly to avoid segregation of the coarse and fine aggregate.
Broadcasting of material shall not be permitted. During the spreading operation, all
material shall be thoroughly and uniformly distributed by lutes or rakes. Material that
has formed into lumps and does not break down readily shall be removed. Following
placing and before rolling, the surface shall be checked with templates and
straightedges and all irregularities corrected.
E. Compaction: A minimum of three rollers shall be used for compacting mixes unless
otherwise approved by the engineer. These rollers shall meet the requirements of Section
2205.7B of APWA Construction and Materials Specifications, entitled "Rollers." Additional
rollers shall be used as necessary to provide specified pavement density.
1. Immediately after spreading, each course of the pavement mixture shall be compacted
by rolling. The initial or "breakdown" rolling shall be accomplished with a steel-wheeled
vibratory roller. The pneumatic-tired roller shall be used to knead and compact the
pavement mixture following the initial rolling and preceding the final rolling. Care shall
be exercised in the use of the pneumatic-tired roller to ensure that the pavement
mixture is sufficiently cooled to avoid "picking up" of the mixture on the tires of the
roller, and also to ensure that the pneumatic-tired rolling is completed before the
mixture becomes too cool to allow satisfactory finish rolling. Final, or finish rolling, shall
be done with a steel-wheeled roller. The sequence of rolling operations may be

changed with the approval of the engineer. All rolling shall be longitudinal, starting near
the edge of the pavement. Alternate trips of the roller shall be of slightly different
lengths. The initial rolling shall take place as closely behind the laydown machine as
the temperature and condition of the mat will allow.
2. The motion of the roller shall be slow enough at all times to avoid displacement of the
hot mixture. The initial compaction roll shall be accomplished with the roller drive wheel
leading the tiller wheel. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the
direction of the roller, or from any other cause, shall be corrected immediately by the
use of rakes and fresh mixture when required. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to
the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened, but excess water will not be
permitted.
3. The surface of the mixture after compaction shall be smooth and true to established
section and grade. Any surface which is segregated, or is in any way defective, shall
be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture at the Contractor's expense, and shall
be immediately compacted to conform with the surrounding area.
F. Rolling Procedure:
1. Thin Layers (Lifts): When placing a thin lift (less than 2 in. compacted thickness) in
single-lane width or full width, the mixture should be rolled in the following sequence:
(a) Transverse joint.
(b) Outside edge.
(c) Breakdown rolling, beginning on the low side.
(d) Intermediate rolling; same procedure as Step 3.
(e) Finish rolling.
2. When paving a thin lift in echelon, or when abutting a previously placed lane or other
lateral restraint, the mixture should be rolled in the following sequence:
(b) Longitudinal joint.
(c) Outside edge.
(d) Breakdown rolling, beginning on the low side.
(e) Intermediate rolling; beginning on the low side.
(f) Finish rolling.
3. Thick Layers (Lifts): When placing a thick lift (2 in. or more compacted thickness) in
single-lane width or full width, the mixture should be rolled in the following sequence:
(b) Breakdown rolling, beginning 12 to 15 in. interior to the lower unsupported edge.
The return pass shall be made with the edge of the roller 3 inches exterior to the
unsupported edge of the pavement.
(c) Breakdown rolling of outside edge. Repeat the process described in Step 2
above on the other longitudinal edge.
(d) Intermediate rolling, beginning on the low side.
(e) Finish rolling.

4. When paving a thick lift in echelon, or when abutting a previously placed lane or other
lateral restraint, the mixture should be rolled in the following sequence:
(b) Longitudinal joint.
(c) Breakdown rolling, beginning at the longitudinal joint.
(d) Intermediate rolling, beginning on the low side.
(e) Finish rolling.
5. When paving in echelon, 2-3 inches of the first mat shall be left unrolled, and rolled
when the joint between the lanes is rolled and after the 2nd mat is placed. Edges shall
not be exposed more than fifteen minutes without being rolled. Particular attention shall
be given to the construction of transverse and longitudinal joints in all courses.
6. In laying a surface mix adjacent to any finished area, it shall be placed sufficiently high
so that, when compacted, the finished surface will be true and uniform. Where the
grade is slight a level will be used to insure drainage to the desired outlet.
G. Transverse Joints: When the transverse joint is next to an adjoining lane, the first pass
shall be made with a static steel-wheeled roller moving along the longitudinal joint for a few
feet. The surface will then be checked with a straightedge and corrections shall be made if
necessary. The joint then shall be rolled transversely, with 6 in. of the drum width on the
newly laid material. This operation shall be repeated with successive passes, each covering
an additional 6 to 8 in. of the new mat, until the entire width of a drive roll is on the new
mixture. During transverse rolling, wooden boards of the proper thickness should be placed
at the edge of the pavement to give the roller a surface to drive on once it passes the edge
of tile Mat. if boards are not used, transverse rolling must stop 6 to 8 in. short of the outside
edge to prevent damaging it, and the edge must be compacted later during longitudinal
rolling. Transverse joints shall be carefully constructed and thoroughly compacted to
provide a smooth riding surface. If the joint has been distorted, it shall be trimmed to a line.
The joint face shall be tacked before the fresh material is placed against it.
H. Longitudinal Joints: Longitudinal joints shall be rolled directly behind the paving
operation. The edge to be joined shall be tack coated. The paver screed shall be set to
overlap the first mat by 1-2 inches. The elevation of the screed above the surface of the first
mat should be equal to the amount of roll-down expected during compaction of the new
mat. For large aggregate mixes, the coarse aggregate in the material overlapping the cold
joint should be carefully removed and wasted, leaving only the finer portion of the mixture to
be pressed into the compacted lane at the time the joint is rolled. For mixes with smaller
coarse aggregate, such as surface courses, the overlapping material should be pushed with
a lute into a hump over the joint area prior to compaction.
I. Edges: The edges of the pavement shall be rolled concurrently with or immediately after
rolling the longitudinal joint. In rolling pavement edges, roller wheels shall extend 2-4 inches
beyond the pavement edge provided the lateral displacement is not excessive.
J. Breakdown Rolling: Breakdown rolling shall immediately follow the rolling of the
longitudinal joint and edges. Rollers shall be operated as close to the paver as necessary to
obtain adequate density without causing undue displacement. The breakdown roller shall
be operated with the drive wheel nearest the laydown machine. Exceptions may be made
by the Engineer when working on steep slopes or super-elevated curves.
K. Intermediate Rolling: Pneumatic-tired rollers as specified in Section 2205.7B of APWA
Construction and Materials Specifications, entitled "Rollers" shall be used for intermediate

rolling. The intermediate rolling shall follow the breakdown rolling as closely as possible and
while the paving mix is still of a temperature that will result in maximum density from this
operation. Pneumatic-tired rolling shall be continuous after the initial rolling until all of the
mix placed has been compacted to the required density. Turning of pneumatic-tired rollers
on the hot paving mix which causes displacement shall not be permitted.
L. Finish Rolling: The finish rolling shall be accomplished while the material is still warm
enough for the removal of roller marks. All roller marks shall be removed by the finish rolling
operation. All rolling operations shall be conducted in close sequence.
M. Inaccessible Locations: In places inaccessible for the operation of standard rollers as
specified, compaction shall be performed by trench rollers or others meeting the
requirements of Section 2205.7B of APWA Construction and Materials Specifications,
entitled "Rollers." The trench roller shall be operated until the lift is thoroughly compacted.
Hand tamping, manual or mechanical, may be used in such areas, if such operations will
give the required density.
N. Density and Surface Requirements: The completed asphalt concrete paving shall have a
density equal to or greater than 95% for Type 1-01 and 5-01 Asphalt Concrete Base and
96% for Types 2-01, 3-01, 4-01, 5-01 and 6-01 Asphalt Concrete Surface. Density is based
on laboratory specimens prepared as specified in Section 2205.3B of APWA Construction
and Materials Specifications, entitled "Mix Design Criteria" and made from plant mix
conforming to the job mix formula. Density testing shall conform to ASTM D 2950 or ASTM
D 2726 or D 1188.
If cores are used to determine density, one or more tests (one test equals three cores) will
be taken for each tonnage lot and averaged to determine acceptance. Two cores will be
taken from the lane being paved, and one core centered on the longitudinal joint with the
adjoining lane. The Engineer will mark the locations of all cores.
1. The compacted surface shall be 0-1/4 in. above the edge of curb. All unsatisfactory
work shall be repaired, replaced or corrected. The surface of the final course shall be
of a uniform texture and conform to line and grade shown on the plans.
2. The field control density will be based on the density of plant produced mix
compacted in a laboratory in accordance with Section 2205.3 (C) of APWA
Construction and Materials Specifications.
O. Smoothness Requirements: This item governs the furnishing of all labor, materials and
equipment for the determination of pavement surface smoothness, evaluation of results,
and corrective actions as shown on the Plans and in accordance with the Contract
Documents, Standard Drawings, the specifications and the Special Provisions.
1. Profilograph equipment, testing, and evaluation shall be performed in accordance with
KDOT Sections 603. Within two days after the paving, furnish the Engineer with the
profilogram and its evaluation.
2. Profilographing shall be performed on roadways classified as arterials and major
collectors.
3. Finished pavements on local roads, minor collectors and other areas exempted from
profilographing shall be checked with a 10 foot straightedge placed parallel to the
center line at any location within a driving lane. Areas showing high spots of more than
1/4 of an inch in 10 feet shall be marked and ground down with approved grinding
equipment to an elevation where the area or spot will not show surface deviations in
excess of 1/8 inch when tested with a 10 foot straight edge. Grinding will be performed
on the full width of the lane failing to meet the smoothness criteria. The cost of

correcting the smoothness and associated traffic control shall be at Contractor’s

expense.
4. Corrective actions shall be performed at the Contractor’s expense and in accordance
KDOT 603.
5. The Contractor shall submit a final report to the Engineer with final profilograph results
verifying compliance with the specified pavement smoothness requirements.
6. No pay adjustments (incentive or disincentive) shall be made to the smoothness or
pavement items based on the results of the profilograph testing.
PART 4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
4.01 ASPHALT PAVEMENT

A. Method of Measurement: Field Measured or certified delivery tickets if tons is the
preferred unit of measure.
B. Unit: Square Yards or tenth part thereof, or tons if specified in the Contract documents.
C. Payment: Payment shall be made at the Contract unit price. Placement, compaction,
testing, asphalt, tack, prime, and other appurtenant work is considered subsidiary to the unit
price of the asphalt pavement. If tons is the method of measurement, any excess material
not placed shall be estimated and subtracted from the last delivery ticket.
D. Asphalt Price Indexing (API): API will be used on all Capital Improvement Program
projects for asphalt base and asphalt surface. Adjustments will be made to the unit
prices used to determine payments due to the Contractor for any asphalt base or
asphalt surface when the monthly average price for the asphalt cement used for the
asphalt base or surface has fluctuated from the price determined on the month the
project was bid. Adjustment calculations are based on PG64-22, but will apply equally
to all grades of asphaltic cement. The price adjustment will be applied to the percent of
virgin asphalt binder used in the mix design of the asphalt approved for the project.
The computed monthly Asphalt Material Index (AMI) to be used is listed at the following
web site: http://www.ksdot.org:9080/burconsmain/ppreq/AsphaltPriceIndex.asp.
The difference (plus or minus) between the Starting Asphalt Index (SAI) and Asphalt
Material Index (AMI) for that month is the Monthly Asphalt Index Adjustment Factor
(MAIAF). The MAIAF will only be applied with the increase or decrease differs $10.00
or more from the SAI.
To determine the adjustment for any material specified in this specification the following
formula will be used.
A = (B X C) X (D-E)
Where: A = Adjustment in dollars for mix placed during monthly average index
B = Tons of Mix Placed during the monthly average index
C = % of virgin asphalt binder as listed in the job mix formula
D = Monthly average price at time of mix placement or AMI
E = Monthly average price at time of bid (January 2009) or SAI

The Contractor shall submit a Change Order for all adjustment payments (or
deductions) for the applicable work completed at monthly intervals. If the working
completion date expires, payments (or deductions) will continue to be applied, but the
adjustment will be based on the index for the month the project calendar completion
date expired.

Section 4210 Concrete Pavement 2022 Edition
3.02 INSTALLATION
A. Placement: Refer for Section 4405 – Cast-in-Place Concrete for placement requirements.
B. Finishing: The pavement shall be struck off and consolidated with a mechanical finishing
machine or by hand-finishing methods.
When a mechanical finishing machine is used, the concrete shall be struck off at such a
height that after consolidation and final finishing it shall be at the exact elevations as shown
on the plans. A depth of at least two (2) inches of concrete shall be carried in front of the
strike-off screed for the full width of the slab, whenever the screed is being used to strike off
the pavement. The finishing machine shall be provided with a screed which will consolidate
the concrete by pressure. The concrete shall, through the use of this machine, be brought
to a true and even surface, free from rock pockets, with the fewest possible number of
passes of the machine. The edge of the screeds along the curb line may be notched out to
allow for sufficient concrete to form the integral curb.
When hand finishing is used, the pavement shall be struck off and consolidated by a
vibrating screed to the exact elevation as shown on the plans. When the forward motion of
the vibrating screed is stopped, the vibrator shall be shut off; it shall not be allowed to idle
on the concrete. Internal mechanical vibration shall be used along all formed surfaces.
1. Floating: After the concrete has been struck off and consolidated, it shall be further
smoothed by means of a mechanical float or float finishers using a hand float. If a
hand float is used, it shall be operated from foot bridges spanning the pavement and
shall be worked with a wiping motion parallel to the centerline, and passing from one
side of the pavement to the other. Movement ahead along the centerline of the
pavement shall be in successive advances of not more than one half of the length of
the float. The float shall not be less than twelve (12) feet in length and six (6) inches in
width, and shall be properly stiffened and provided with handles at each end. This
operation may be eliminated if specified tolerances can be attained by some other
approved method.
In cases where it is not possible to use the floating operation described above, the
pavement shall be scraped with a straight edge ten (10) feet long, equipped with a
handle to permit it to be operated from the edge of the pavement. The float and
straight edge shall be operated so that any excess water and laitance are removed
from the surface of the pavement. After the scraping operation, the surface of the
pavement shall be within the specified tolerances.
2. Straight Edging: While the concrete is still plastic, the slab surface shall be checked for
smoothness with a ten (10) foot straightedge swung from handles three feet longer
than one-half the width of the slab. The straightedge shall be placed on the surface
parallel to the centerline of the pavement and at not more than five (5) foot intervals
transversely. After each check, the straightedge shall be moved forward one-half its
length and the operation repeated. When irregularities are discovered, they shall be
corrected by adding or removing concrete. All disturbed places shall be smoothed with
a float not less than three (3) feet long and not less than six (6) inches wide, and again
straight-edged.
3. Edging: Before final finishing is completed and before the concrete has taken its initial
set, the edges of the slab and curb shall be carefully finished with an edger of the
radius shown on the plans or standard details.
4. Final Surface Finish: A burlap drag or a broom finish shall be used as the final finishing
method. When a drag is used it shall be at least three (3) feet in width and long
enough to cover the entire pavement width. It shall be kept clean and saturated while
in use. It shall be laid on the surface of the pavement and dragged in the direction in
which the pavement is being laid. When broom finishing, a hard bristle broom shall be
used. The broom shall be kept clean and used in such a manner as to provide a
uniform textured surface. The curb shall have the same final finish as the pavement.
The final surface of the concrete pavement and curb shall have a uniform gritty texture
free from excessive harshness and true to the grades and cross section shown on the
plans. The pavement surface shall have no depressions in which water will stand. The
Engineer may require changes in the final finishing procedure as required to produce
the desired final surface texture.
C. Curing: Refer for Section 4405 – Cast-in-Place Concrete for curing requirements.
D. Joints: Refer for Section 4405 – Cast-in-Place Concrete for jointing requirements.
E. Smoothness: Concrete pavement smoothness shall comply with KDOT Section 503
except as modified by F.6 and F.7 below; however, table 503-2 and table 503-3 related to
price adjustment shall not apply.
F. Diamond Grinding: From the results of the smoothness review, diamond grinding may be
required to reduce or eliminate irregularities of the pavement surface.
1. Use a self-propelled grinding machine with diamond blades mounted on a multi-blade
arbor. Avoid using equipment that causes excessive ravels, aggregate fractures, or
spalls.
2. Provide uniform texture the full width of the lane. Transverse grooving will not be
required.
3. Use vacuum equipment or other continuous methods to remove grinding slurry and
residue. Prevent the grinding slurry from flowing across lanes being used by traffic.
4. After corrections have been made to the riding surface, test the pavement for
smoothness using the same technique used to determine smoothness originally.
Furnish and operate the smoothness measurement equipment, and evaluate the
results as specified.
5. Where smoothness is determined through the use of a profilograph, run two traces in
each lane that has been corrected. Run a trace three (3) feet from the longitudinal joint
between lanes and another trace three (3) feet from the shoulder or curb edge of the
lane. A trained and certified operator shall perform the profilograph testing and
evaluation.
6. Within two (2) days after the corrections to the riding surface are made, furnish the City
Engineer with the profilogram and its evaluation. Evaluate the profilogram of the
corrected riding surface in two hundred and fifty (250) foot sections per lane. The
required profile index per trace is fifteen (15) inches per mile.
7. Perform additional grinding as required to attain the required profile index. Correct all
deviations (in excess of one half (1/2) inch in a length of twenty-five (25) feet) within
each section regardless of the profile index value.
G. Thickness Tolerances: Pavement shall be constructed strictly in accordance with the
thickness shown on the plans. The thickness of any pavement in question may be
measured by coring at the Contractors expense, and where any pavement is found
deficient in thickness, it will be compensated for at an adjusted unit price or shall be
removed and replaced as determined by the Engineer.
In removing pavement, it shall be removed from the outside edge of the curb and gutter
(curb and gutter with tie-bars or keyway may remain if in good condition) to a longitudinal
joint, or between longitudinal joints, and on each side of the deficient measurement until no
portion of the exposed cross sections are more than 2/10-inch deficient, except that there
shall not be less than five (5) linear feet of pavement removed. If there remains less than
ten (10) feet of acceptable pavement between the section that has been removed and a
transverse contraction, expansion, or construction joint, the contractor shall remove
pavement to the joint.

A. Section 2201.4: The following shall be added to this section:
“F. Unsuitable Materials
When unstable or unsuitable materials are encountered, they shall be removed to the depth
required to reach stable material or as directed by the Engineer. The over-excavated area
shall be backfilled with suitable material as defined in Section 4110 – Earthwork, or KDOT
AB-3 aggregate material may be used if allowed by the Engineer. Backfilled subgrade shall
be compacted in accordance with the requirements of this Section.”
B. Section 2201.4.C: This section shall be removed and replaced with the following:
“F. Protection and Maintenance of Subgrade
The newly finished subgrade shall be repaired from action of the elements or others. Any
action (e.g. settlement or erosion) that damages the subgrade or any subgrade that has
become unacceptable prior to placing the pavement thereon, shall be repaired and the
specific lines, grades, cross-section, tolerance, density, and moisture content range
reestablished.
The Contractor shall protect all pavements, curbs, sidewalks, and recreational trails from
subgrade operation with an earth cushion, timber planking, or both where tractors, graders,
rollers, or other equipment are required to pass, or turn around. All resulting damage shall be
repaired or replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
The contractor shall maintain, at his/her own expense, the entire treated subgrade in good
condition from the start of work until all the work has been completed, cured, and the
pavement is placed.”
“A. Fly Ash
Fly Ash shall comply with the physical requirements of ASTM D 5239, paragraph 6.4
maintaining a minimum compressive strength of 500 psi at 7 days and the chemical
requirements of ASTM C 618, Table 1 for Class C fly ash, unless otherwise shown on the
Plans. The source of the ash shall be selected by the Contractor and approved by the
Engineer in advance of stabilization operations in order that the required laboratory tests can
be completed prior to construction without delaying the work. The fly ash source shall also
be prequalified with KDOT as required by KDOT Section 2005. Certification shall be provided
by the supplier that the fly ash used on the project meets the above criteria. Fly ash shall be
stored and handled in closed weatherproof containers until distribution. Fly ash exposed to
moisture prior to mixing with soils shall be discarded.
A certification indicating compliance to these specifications shall be attached to or be part of

Contractor shall provide certification that the product complies. Hydrated lime shall contain
not less than ninety (90) percent calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2, and quicklime shall have a

minimum available lime percentage (CaO) of 90%, as determined by ASTM C 25. Lime shall
be introduced to the subgrade in a slurry form. When quicklime is used, slake it at the jobsite
to manufacture hydrated lime slurry. The Contractor shall submit calculations to the Engineer
that determines the amount of water needed to make a slurry with a percent solids between
20 and 40 percent. The Contractor will then determine the concentration strength of the lime
slurry and the rate of application to obtain the lime percentage specified in the Contract
Documents.
A certification indicating compliance to these specifications shall be attached to or be part of
the scale ticket for each load delivered. The producer’s representative shall sign the

“Portland cement shall be applied at a rate determined by laboratory testing using the
materials from the site and the specific Portland cement to be supplied unless otherwise
designated by the Contract Documents. Testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor
and is subsidiary to other items. The minimum application rate shall be 5% (by volume of the
soil) unless testing indicates otherwise.
Lime kiln dust shall be applied at a rate determined by laboratory testing using the materials
from the site and the specific lime kiln dust to be supplied unless otherwise designated by
the Contract Documents. Testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and is
subsidiary to other items. The minimum application rate shall be 5% (by dry weight of the
soil) unless testing indicates otherwise.”
G. Section 2202.7.D: The following shall be added to this section:
“3. For cement, the required moisture content will be established by laboratory tests with the
site soils and specific cement to be used, determined in accordance with ASTM D 698 or
AASHTO T 99. Laboratory testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and is
subsidiary to other items. Final moisture content of the mix, immediately prior to compaction
shall be +/- 3 percentage points of the optimum moisture content as determined by laboratory
testing unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.
4. For lime kiln dust, the required moisture content will be established by laboratory tests with
the site soils and specific lime kiln dust to be used, determined in accordance with ASTM D
698 or AASHTO T 99. Laboratory testing shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and is
subsidiary to other items. Final moisture content of the mix, immediately prior to compaction
shall be +/- 3 percentage points of the optimum moisture content as determined by laboratory
testing unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.”
H. Section 2202.7.E: The following shall be added to this section:
“3. On projects having more than 20,000 square yards of manipulation, apply cement using
a controlled application system. This system may be pressurized or mechanical in nature,
utilizing vane or augers feeding cement or fly ash through a funnel or hood at a controlled
rate.
On projects having less than 20,000 square yards of manipulation, and in irregular areas,
submit a plan to the Engineer for approval that includes equipment and procedures that
address subgrade preparation and application process to spread the cement or fly ash at the
specified rate.
On projects having more than 20,000 square yards of manipulation, and consisting of multi-
phased construction, contact the District Office for approval to waive the use of the controlled
application system. Consideration will be based on the Contractors proposed alternate
method of applying the cement, the square yards of manipulation in each phase, and the size
of individual areas within each phase.
Do not apply the cement when conditions are such that the material is lost due to the wind.
Do not use cement or fly ash that was not properly handled and not stored in weatherproof
containers.

The Engineer will check the application rate of cement by having the Contractor blade a flat
area in the path of the cement or fly ash application, place a planar surface with a minimum
surface area of 1 square foot (e.g. a straight-sided pan) and of sufficient height to contain the
admixture on the prepared area and allow the train to pass over the surface. Weigh the test
surface before and after the cement or fly ash application and calculate the application rate.
Other methods to check the application rate may be used.
4. Lime Kiln Dust: Immediately prior to the application of the lime kiln dust, the areas shall
be scarified to allow for uniform distribution. The use of scarification equipment with positive
depth control is required and should be performed to a depth between four inches (4”) and
one inch (1”) less than the specified depth of treatment.
The lime kiln dust shall be spread uniformly over the top of the subgrade – the use of a
controlled application system approved by the Engineer is preferred but the Contractor may
submit an alternate method of spreading for approval that provides uniform distribution at
the specified rate of application. The amount of lime kiln dust spread shall be the amount
required for mixing to the specified depth which will result in the percentage determined by
laboratory testing as described in section 2202.4 Composition.
Dust control measures shall be employed to minimize fugitive dust. Lime kiln dust slurry is
to be applied with equipment that can regulate the amount passing through the nozzles and
the speed of travel to place the specified amount on the soil with a uniform lime distribution.
The concentration of the lime kiln dust slurry should allow for the application of the correct
quantity of lime kiln dust without adding an undue amount of excess moisture. The
Contractor is responsible for testing the concentration of the lime kiln dust suspension a
minimum of once per day or once per batch, whichever is greater.
No equipment, except that used in spreading the mixture, will be allowed to pass over the
freshly spread lime kiln dust or slurry until it is mixed with the soil.
I. Section 2202.7.F: The following shall be added to this section:
“3. Cement: Unless otherwise shown on the plans, either method a or b below may be used
at the option of the Contractor.
a. Multiple‐Pass Traveling Mixing Plant
After the cement has been applied it shall be dry‐mixed with the soil. Mixing shall
continue until the cement has been sufficiently blended with the soil to prevent the
formation of cement balls when water is applied. Any mixture of soil and cement that
has not been compacted and finished shall not remain undisturbed for more than 30
minutes.
Immediately after the dry mixing of soil and cement is complete, water as necessary
shall be uniformly applied and incorporated into the mixture. Pressurized equipment
and supply provided shall be adequate to insure continuous application of the required
amount of water to sections being processed within 3 hours of application of the
cement. Proper care shall be exercised to insure proper moisture distribution at all

times. After the last increment of water has been added, mixing shall continue until a
thorough and uniform mix has been obtained.
b. Single‐Pass Traveling Mixing Plant
After the cement has been applied it shall be sufficiently dry‐mixed with the soil to
prevent the formation of cement balls when water is applied. Un‐pulverized soil lumps
in the soil cement mixture immediately behind the mixer that are dry will not be allowed.
Should this condition prevail, the Contractor shall "pre‐ wet" the raw soil as necessary
to correct this condition.
This mixer shall be provided with means for visibly and accurately gauging the water
application. The water shall be applied uniformly through a pressure spray bar.
After cement is spread, mixing operations shall proceed as follows:
i. The mixer shall in one continuous operation thoroughly moist‐mix the soil,
cement and water, spread the completed soil cement mixture evenly over the
machine processed width of the subgrade and leave it in a loose condition ready
for immediate compaction.
ii. The soil and cement mixture shall not remain undisturbed, after mixing and
before compacting, for more than 30 minutes.
Do not perform treated subgrade operations when the ambient air temperature is below
40°F, or the soil is frozen.
4. Lime kiln dust mixtures shall be allowed to “mellow” for a period of not less than 4 hours
in an uncompacted state during which the moisture content of the mixture shall be
maintained above the moisture content determined in accordance with AASHTO T 99 or
ASTM D968.
After the required mellowing period and prior to initial compaction, the lime kiln dust
mixture shall be re-mixed. Mixing operations shall be performed in such a manner as to
produce a uniform mixture of lime kiln dust, water, and material being treated, free of
streaks and pockets of lime kiln dust. The entire operation of lime kiln dust spreading,
water application and mixing shall result in a uniform pulverized material for the full design
depth and width.
Longitudinal joints between successive passes shall overlap a minimum of 6 inches (150
mm) and transverse joints shall overlap a minimum of 2 feet (0.60 m).
To ensure a uniformly treated section, any material/soil around manholes, utility risers,
valves and adjacent to curbs/gutters or in corners, shall have that material/soil pulled out
to the depth of treatment and placed where it is accessible for mixing. After mixing, that
material shall be replaced and compacted.
J. Section 2202.7.G: The following shall be added to this section:

“3. Cement: The material shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of the Standard
Maximum Density ASTM D698 and as shown on the plans. At the start of compaction, the
percentage of moisture in the mixture and in un‐pulverized soil lumps, based on oven‐dry
weights, shall not be below or more than two percentage points above the specified
optimum moisture content and shall be less than that quantity which will cause the soil
cement mixture to become unstable during compaction and finishing. When the
uncompacted soil cement mixture is wetted by rain so that the average moisture content
exceeds the tolerance given at the time of final compaction, the entire section shall be
reconstructed in accordance with this specification at the sole expense of the Contractor.
Prior to the beginning of compaction, the mixture shall be in a loose condition for its full
depth. The loose mixture then shall be uniformly compacted to the specified density within
2 hours after the application of cement.
After the soil and cement mixture is compacted, water shall be uniformly applied as
needed and thoroughly mixed in with a spiketooth harrow or equal. The surface shall then
be reshaped to the required lines, grades and cross section and then lightly scarified to
loosen any imprint left by the compacting or shaping equipment.
The resulting surface shall be thoroughly rolled with a pneumatic tire roller and "clipped",
"skinned", or "tight bladed" by a power grader to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch,
removing all loosened soil and cement from the section. The surface shall then be
thoroughly compacted with the pneumatic roller, adding small increments of moisture as
needed during rolling. If plus No. 4 aggregate is present in the mixture, one complete
coverage of the section with the flat wheel roller shall be made immediately after the
"clipping" operation. When directed by the Owner, surface finishing methods may be
varied from this procedure provided a dense, uniform surface, free of surface compaction
planes, is produced. The moisture content of the surface material must be maintained
within three (3) percent of its specified optimum during all finishing operations. Surface
compaction and finishing shall proceed in such a manner as to produce, a smooth, closely
knit surface, free of cracks, ridges or loose material conforming to the crown, grade and
line shown on the plans in a timeframe no longer than 2 hours from the initial application
of cement.
A test for both density and moisture content of the soil-fly ash mixture shall be taken for
each 750 square yards of material placed with a minimum of one test per day of
production.
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1556 or ASTM
D 6938. When ASTM D 6938 is utilized for testing purposes, the nuclear gauge shall be
calibrated within the last year. Calibration and operation of the gauge shall be in
accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. The operator of the nuclear gauge
must show evidence of training and experience in the use of the instrument. The gauge
shall be standardized daily in accordance with ASTM D 6938, paragraph 8.
Final acceptance of the compaction is dependent upon passing visual roll testing. This will
be observed and approved by the Engineer. All irregularities, depressions, or weak spots
which develop shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas affected, adding or
removing material as required and remixing and re-compacting with additional fly ash if
beyond the 2 hour limit. The surface of the course shall be maintained in a smooth
condition, free from undulations and ruts, until other work is placed thereon or the work is
accepted.
Should the material, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density and
finish before the work is accepted, it shall be reprocessed, recompacted and refinished at
the sole expense of the Contractor. Reprocessing shall follow the same pattern as the
initial stabilization including the addition of cement.
4. Initial compaction shall be with a padfoot compactor. At the start of compaction the
moisture content shall be within three (3) percent of the specified optimum moisture
content in accordance with AASHTO T 99 or ASTM D698. The mixed material shall be
uniformly compacted in one layer to a minimum of 95 percent. A test for both density and
moisture content of the soil-fly ash mixture shall be taken for each 750 square yards of
material placed with a minimum of one test per day of production.
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1556 or ASTM
D 6938. When ASTM D 6938 is utilized for testing purposes, the nuclear gauge shall be
calibrated within the last year. Calibration and operation of the gauge shall be in
accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer. The operator of the nuclear gauge
must show evidence of training and experience in the use of the instrument. The gauge
shall be standardized daily in accordance with ASTM D 6938, paragraph 8.
Final acceptance of the compaction is dependent upon passing visual roll testing. This will
be observed and approved by the Engineer. All irregularities, depressions, or weak spots
which develop shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas affected, adding or
removing material as required and remixing and re-compacting with additional fly ash if
beyond the 2 hour limit. The surface of the course shall be maintained in a smooth
condition, free from undulations and ruts, until other work is placed thereon or the work is
accepted.
Should the material, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density and
finish before the work is accepted, it shall be reprocessed, recompacted and refinished at
the sole expense of the Contractor. Reprocessing shall follow the same pattern as the
initial stabilization including the addition of fly ash.
K. Section 2202.7.H: The following shall be added to this section:

“3. Cement: After each layer or course of the cement treated subgrade has been compacted,
it shall be brought to the required lines and grades in accordance with the typical sections.
The finished surface of the final layer shall not vary more than 3/8 inch when tested with a
10-foot straightedge applied parallel with and at right angles to the pavement centerline. Any
variations in excess of this tolerance shall be corrected by the Contractor, at his/her own
expense, in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.

After the cement treated course has been finished as specified herein, the surface shall be
protected against rapid drying by one of the following methods for a period of not less than
three days or until the pavement section is placed.
a. Maintain in a thorough and continuously moist condition by sprinkling with water.
b. Apply an asphalt prime coat emulsion curing seal approved by the Engineer at a rate
of 0.15 gallons per square yard.
c. Other options for maintaining moisture may be submitted in writing for approval by the
Engineer.
Restrict construction traffic from operating on the treated subgrade until it can withstand the
loads without damage or deformation.
4. Lime Kiln Dust: After each layer or course of the lime kiln dust treated subgrade has been
compacted, it shall be brought to the required lines and grades in accordance with the typical
sections. The finished surface of the final layer shall not vary more than 3/8 inch when tested
with a 10-foot straightedge applied parallel with and at right angles to the pavement
centerline. Any variations in excess of this tolerance shall be corrected by the Contractor, at
his/her own expense, in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. After the lime treated course
has been finished as specified herein, the surface shall be cured by one of the following
methods for a period of not less than three days and maintained until placement of the

The cabinet shall be equipped with a combined power supply and power distribution
assembly (PDA #2). The output file back panel shall be hardwired instead of printed circuit
board. The flasher program plug shall be accessible without dropping the output file back
panel.
A red monitor board assembly shall be attached to the rear panel of the output file. A 20-
conductor cable assembly for monitoring the red outputs of all signal load switches shall be
provided and attached to the red monitor board assembly. The cable is to be routed to the
front of the output file and plugged into the connector provided in the front of the conflict
monitor.
A means of selecting the active red monitor channel shall be provided on the red monitor
board assembly. Selection is accomplished by a two-position jumper (shunt) with the
center position wired to a red monitor input and a select of 115 VAC to the right and the red
load switch output to the left. Moving the jumper to the right will provide a continuous red
input and override, while moving the jumper to the left will attach the monitor channel to the
corresponding load switch output. The jumper assembly shall be accessible while the
intersection is in operation. Twelve (12) selectors shall be provided; eight phase selections
and four overlap selections.
A pull-out, lighted, hinged-top drawer having sliding tracks with lockout and quick-
disconnect features, shall be provided as shown in the cabinet drawings. The pull-out
drawer shall extend a minimum of 14 inches (355 mm) in order to facilitate removal of the
processor by providing the processor with an aluminum platform covered by a Formica-
type, chemical-proof plastic sheet while the rear connector is being removed. It shall be
possible to lift this hinged platform in order to gain access to the interior of the drawer.
Minimum interior dimensions of the drawer shall be 1 inch (25 mm) high, 13 inches (330
mm) deep, and 16 inches (405mm) wide. The drawer shall be capable of supporting a 40-

have a cold weather type ballast. The cabinet shall be provided with lightning protection on
the power input. The cabinet shall include a Edco SHA 1250-BASE-A surge suppressor and
base.
Conflict Monitor: Conflict monitors shall be Reno model 2018. In addition to the standard
specifications, the conflict monitor shall be capable of monitoring the red signal outputs as
described below:
(a) Any dark signal head (that is loss of signal output to field terminals) shall cause the
monitor to trip.
(b) The green, yellow and red indications for each phase shall be brought into the
monitor individually and shall be monitored separately with respect to a loss of signal
on any of the three (3) inputs per channel.
(c) The monitor shall have the required circuitry to allow the early detection of a conflict
caused by a green or yellow signal "hang up" (that is any green or yellow output
which shall remain on when the controller has transferred to a yellow or all red output
respectively) by starting the fault timers as soon as a yellow appears with the
corresponding green still energized. The monitor shall not wait until a conflicting
green is displayed to time the conflict. This shall preclude the presentation of a
conflicting signal display at the intersection.
(d) During the "All Red" clearance period, the monitor shall check all inputs for faulty
signal display and shall react to these faulty indications during the all red clearance
period. Since the only inputs that should be active during this period would be the
reds, the monitor shall detect any faults such as red/green, red/yellow, green/yellow
and green/red/yellow.
(e) The monitor shall be capable of monitoring for incorrect signal applied at the field
terminals of each vehicular movement (green, yellow, red). Should a voltage be
present on more than one, or none, of the inputs (green, yellow, red) of a channel,
the unit shall begin timing the duration of this condition. If this condition exists for
less than 700 milliseconds, the unit shall not trigger. If this condition exists for 1,000
milliseconds or more, the unit shall trigger. If this condition exists for 700
milliseconds or more, but less than 1,000 milliseconds, the unit may or may not
trigger.
(f) When the unit triggers, it shall cause the output relay contacts to transfer. These
contacts shall remain in this state until the unit is reset by the activation of the panel
control or the activation of the external reset input. Power interruption shall not reset
the conflict monitor when it has been triggered by detection of a faulty load switch
output.
(g) The monitor shall be compatible with LED and flashing yellow arrow technology.
(h) The minimum indicators shall be as follows:
(i) Power: shall be illuminated when the +24 VDC input from the controller is
present and AC+ is applied to the monitor.
(ii) Watch Dog Error: shall illuminate when the monitor detects a watch dog
error, and shall be a 1.5 second watch dog circuit.
(iii) Conflict: shall illuminate when a conflict has been detected by the monitor.
(iv) Red Failure: shall illuminate when a red failure has been detected by the
monitor.
(v) Switch Fail: shall illuminate when a faulty load switch has been detected by
the monitor.
(vi) PCA: shall illuminate when the program board is not installed or not
installed properly.
(vii) PIAF: shall illuminate when the unit has detected a failure, then
experiences a power interruption.
(viii) The monitor shall include signal status indicators. These indicators (one
per channel) shall illuminate when a signal is present on the corresponding
channel during normal operation. If the unit trips due to a conflict, the
signal status shall lock up, displaying the status of each channel at the time
the conflict occurred. Should the monitor trip due to the absence of red or a
faulty load switch output, the signal status indicators shall display the channel
(channels) which is (are) at fault. If the monitor detects a load switch fault
condition, the switch failure indicator shall be illuminated on and the signal
status indicators will display the exact channel of the load switch that failed.
The red inputs shall be brought into the monitor via a front panel connector.
The Red Enable shall be brought into the monitor via the same front panel
connector as the red inputs.
(ix) The monitor shall be compatible with LED technology.
