of the project Geotechnical Report prepared by Miller Pacific Engineering dated June 18, 2021.

Page 10: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 10

PART 2 – PRODUCTS – NOT USED PART 3 – EXECUTION

A. Cold Planing Asphalt Concrete Pavement shall comply with the requirements of Section 15-

2.02B “Remove Pavement" of the Standard Specifications and these Plans and Special Provisions.

1. For Second Avenue, Soda Canyon Road, and Atlas Peak Road once cold planning begins all areas cold planed must be filled by the end of the working day. Traffic will not be allowed to drive on cold planed areas until they have been filled. It is anticipated that a pilot car will be necessary to direct traffic when the work areas spans driveways. For Westgate Drive and Hillcrest Drive cold planing activities shall be scheduled so that not more than one day elapses between the times the pavement is cold planed and the HMA is placed.

2. If you do not complete HMA placement before opening the area to traffic, you must: a. Construct a temporary HMA taper to the level of the existing pavement. Use the

same quality of HMA for temporary tapers that is used for the HMA overlay or comply with the specifications for minor HMA in Section 39 of the Standard Specifications.

b. Place HMA during the next work shift c. Signage provided per plan.

3. Do not use a heating device to soften the pavement. 4. The cold planing machine must be:

a. Equipped with a cutter head width that matches the planing width. If the cutter head width is wider than the cold plane area shown, submit to the Engineer a request for using a wider cutter head. Do not cold plane unless the Engineer approves your request.

b. Equipped with automatic controls for the longitudinal grade and transverse slope of the cutter head and:

c. If a ski device is used, it must be at least 30 feet long, rigid, and a 1-piece unit. The entire length must be used in activating the sensor.

d. If referencing from existing pavement, the cold planing machine must be controlled by a self-contained grade reference system. The system must be used at or near the centerline of the roadway. On the adjacent pass with the cold planing machine, a joint-matching shoe may be used.

e. Equipped to effectively control dust generated by the planing operation f. Operated so that no fumes or smoke is produced. g. Replace broken, missing, or worn machine teeth.

5. Grade Control and Surface Smoothness

Page 11: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 11

a. Furnish, install, and maintain grade and transverse slope references. b. The depth, length, width, and shape of the cut must be as shown or as ordered. The

final cut must result in a neat and uniform surface. Do not damage the remaining surface c. The depth of Cold Planing shall be 2” minimum. d. The completed surface of the planed asphalt concrete pavement must not vary more

than 0.02 foot when measured with a 12-foot straightedge parallel with the centerline. With the straightedge at right angles to the centerline, the transverse slope of the planed surface must not vary more than 0.03 foot.

e. Where lanes are open to traffic, the drop-off of between adjacent lanes must not be more than 0.15 foot.

6. Temporary HMA Tapers

If a drop-off between the existing pavement and the planed area at transverse joints cannot be avoided before opening to traffic, construct a temporary HMA taper. The HMA temporary taper must be: a. Placed to the level of the existing pavement and tapered on a slope of 30:1 (horizontal:

vertical) or flatter to the level of the planed area. Compacted by any method that will produce a smooth riding surface. Completely remove temporary tapers before placing permanent surfacing.

7. Remove Planed Material

a. Remove cold planed material concurrent with planing activities so that removal does not lag more than 50 feet behind the planer.

b. Contractor is responsible for the disposal of planed material per these specifications; all excess asphalt grindings shall be delivered to the County of Napa Roads yard located at 7292 Silverado Trail, Yountville CA 94559 at Contractors expense. Contractor shall coordinate with Dave Cardwell, [email protected] or 707-299- 1423 at the County of Napa Roads yard prior to any material being delivered. No end or super dump trucks allowed.

B. When Asphalt is removed the resulting baserock surface (if exposed) should be evaluated by wheel-rolling with heavy, rubber-tired construction equipment. Baserock exposed near irrigated areas or in the earlier months of a calendar year has greater potential for soft and yielding conditions due to high moisture contents. With the exception of this “proof-rolling” to determine condition of the baserock, heavily loaded construction equipment should generally avoid the baserock areas to the extent possible to reduce the potential for damaging the baserock integrity and enlarging any potential soft soil “repair” areas. If the exposed baserock is firm and unyielding, it should be moisture conditioned and loose, surficial materials recompacted to at least 95% (ASTM D1557) prior to placing the new asphalt. Due to the age and potential variance in baserock throughout project paving limits, the Geotechnical Engineer will likely confirm satisfactory compaction of baserock through visual observation. If the baserock is yielding under rubber-tire loads due to high moisture contents, careful removal of additional baserock and placement of a deeper asphalt section will be required. For bidding/planning purposes, replacement of 6 inches of existing baserock with

Page 12: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 12

“deep-lift” asphalt should be adequate to bridge over soft subgrade soils and yielding baserock upon completion of the entire planned paving section. Careful excavation (i.e. do not use a skip-load or “bobcat” within the excavation, but rather use of an excavator or backhoe operating from adjacent pavements) will be a significant factor in the ultimate depth of digouts, the Geotechnical Engineer will observe conditions and provide supplemental recommendation as appropriate during construction. If existing asphalt remains at the bottom of digout or milled areas, the milled surface should be broomed and loose particles removed prior to application of a tack coat and asphalt.

PART 4 – MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

A. Full compensation for conforming to the requirements of this section including off-haul, shall be paid as “Asphalt removal (3’’) or (6’’)*; grinding” and no other compensation will be made.

B. Payments for off-haul, disposal, etc., shall be included in the various bid items and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.

C. If exposed baserock is yielding and additional baserock and placement of a deeper asphalt section is required this work will be handled under a contract change order and should not be included in the base bid price for “Asphalt removal (3’’) or (6’’); grinding” *The standard asphalt removal for this project is 3’’ however there is one section on Westgate as identified in the Plans that calls for 6’’ removal.

absorptive material described in this subsection (b) is defective work which shall be addressed by the Contractor in accordance with subsection (c) below if County notifies Contractor at any time prior to one (1) year from the date of recording of a Notice of Completion for the work, or one (1) year from the date the road is open for public use if no Notice of Completion is recorded.

c. Soft or highly absorptive material can substantially reduce the useful life of the roadway, the extent of which is difficult to determine accurately. For each area, as determined by the County pursuant to subsection (b), that exceeds the maximum allowable amount of soft or highly absorptive material, the Contractor shall pay as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the amount calculated at one-half of the Contractor’s bid item prices to replace that specified area. Contractor shall pay the County the liquidated damages determined in accordance with this section within sixty (60) days of written demand by the County. If a court determines this calculation of liquidated damages is unenforceable for any reason, the Contractor shall pay the County the actual cost incurred by the County to remove and repave the section of the roadway that exceeds the maximum allowable amount of soft or highly absorptive material.

i. This subsection (c) shall not apply to any area, as determined by the County pursuant to subsection (b), where a concentration of more than .096% by area of soft or highly absorptive material resides in an area of less than 100 square feet, or to any work, other than an area determined by the County pursuant to subsection (b), that contains .096% or less of soft or highly absorptive material.

d. Nothing in this paragraph E shall preclude County from seeking any or all legal and/or equitable remedies upon discovery of soft or highly absorptive material after the one (1) year period specified in subsection (b), or in the event that Contractor fails to tender the liquidated damages specified in subsection (c).

F. Liquid anti-stripping agent (LAS) shall be added to the asphalt binder at a rate of 0.5%

by weight of asphalt binder. The LAS shall be AD-here LOF 65-00 or equivalent, and shall be stored, measured, and blended with the asphalt binder in accordance with the anti-stripping agent manufacturer’s recommended practice. The LAS can be added at the asphalt plant or at the refinery. When added at the asphalt plant, the equipment shall indicate and record the amount of LAS added.

12%

The job mix formula for each mixture shall establish a single percentage of aggregate passing each required sieve size. If the aggregate is separated into 2 or more sizes, the proposed gradation shall consist of gradations for individual sizes, and the proposed proportions of individual sizes, combined mathematically to indicate one proposed gradation. Such gradation shall meet the applicable grading requirements shown in Section 39-2.02A(4)(b)(ii), "Aggregate." The gradation established for the job mix formula shall produce a smooth curve within the moving average limits designated and shall not vary from the low limit on one sieve to the high limit on the adjacent sieves, or vice versa.

The job mix formula for each mixture shall be designed with sufficient samples to demonstrate the performance of the mixture having a minimum stabilimeter value of 37 at 4 percent air voids, as determined with ASTM Test Methods D2041 and D1188 or D2726.

All individual aggregate cold feed materials, prior to the addition of asphalt binder, shall have a durability of at least 35 as determined by California Test 229.

Upon prior approval of the Engineer, the Contractor may submit, in writing, a job mix formula based on data from actual plant production or recent mix designs from previous jobs using the same mixture.

Regardless of the source, the job mix formula must establish to the satisfaction of the Engineer that it conforms to all the requirements of this Section. The Engineer reserves the right to verify the job mix formula with testing personnel prior to placement of any material.

The Engineer shall specify the percentage of asphalt binder to be used in asphalt concrete and asphalt concrete base using the "Job Mix Formula" data submitted. The specified percentage of asphalt binder chosen shall provide a minimum stabilimeter value required, air voids in the lab compacted samples will be allowed to vary a maximum of one and a half percent (1.5%) below to one and a half percent (1.5%) above the air voids provided in the "Job Mix Formula" for the specified percentage of asphalt binder.

Air voids variation exceeding the above shall be cause to reject the job mix formula, unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, the paving operation will cease until a new job mix formula is approved.

After the job mix formula is approved, a trial plant mix shall be made to verify compliance of the plant with the job mix formula requirements. Should the trial plant mix fail to conform to these requirements during the trial run or during actual production, production of asphalt concrete shall stop until such compliance is reestablished or until a new job mix formula is approved.

A new job mix formula shall be submitted for approval prior to use of the mixture when there is a change in the character or source of the materials composing the mix, when unsatisfactory results or other conditions make it necessary.

between the ends of HMA layers on adjacent lanes is from 5 to 10 feet. Place additional HMA along the transverse edge at each lane's end and along the exposed longitudinal edges between adjacent lanes. Hand rake and compact the additional HMA to form temporary conforms. You may place Kraft paper or another authorized bond breaker under the conform tapers to facilitate the taper removal when paving operations resume.

B. Before placing successive lifts of asphalt concrete on any other type of asphalt concrete or on an existing bituminous pavement, paint binder (tack coat) shall be applied in one application at a rate of from 0.08 to 0.10 gallon per square yard of surface covered. The exact rate of application will be determined by the Engineer.

3.04 SPREADING AND COMPACTING The first paragraph of Section 39-2.01C(2), "Spreading and Compacting Equipment," of the Standard Specifications is amended to read:

Asphalt pavers shall be self-propelled mechanical spreading and finishing equipment provided with a screed or strike off assembly capable of distributing the material to not less than the full width of a traffic lane, or a traffic lane together with its adjoining shoulder. Screed action shall include any cutting, crowding or other practical action which is effective on the mixture without tearing, shoving or gouging, and which produces a surface texture of uniform appearance. The screed shall be adjustable to the required section and thickness. The paver shall be provided with either a full width roller or tamper or other suitable compacting devices. Pavers that leave ridges, indentations, or other marks in the surface that cannot be eliminated by rolling or prevented by adjustment in operation shall not be used.Unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions or directed by the Engineer, all asphalt concrete pavers shall be equipped with a mobile grade reference system capable of averaging the existing grade or pavement profile over a minimum 30 feet distance or by a non-contacting laser or sonar type ski with at least four referencing stations mounted on the paver at a minimum length of 24 feet shall be used. Equipment, which in the judgment of the Engineer, does not perform satisfactorily will be disallowed. The automatic screed controls shall be used for all paving unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.

Page 19: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 19

When paving contiguously with previously placed mats, the end of the screed adjacent to the previously placed mat shall be controlled by a sensor that responds to the grade of the previously placed mat and will reproduce the grade in the new mat within a 0.01 foot tolerance. The end of the screed farthest from the previously placed mat shall be controlled in the same manner as when placing the initial mat.

Should the methods and equipment furnished by the Contractor fail to produce a layer of asphalt concrete conforming to the requirements, including straightedge tolerance, of the subsection entitled "Compacting" of this section of these Special Provisions, the paving operations shall be discontinued and the Contractor shall modify his equipment or furnish substitute equipment.

Should the automatic screed controls fail to operate properly during the day's work, the Contractor may use manual control of the spreading equipment for the remainder of that day, however, the equipment shall be corrected or replaced with alternative automatically controlled equipment conforming to the requirements in this section before starting another day's work.

Where shown on the plans and/or specified in these Special Provisions the Contractor shall provide a means to place asphalt concrete or asphalt concrete base at the required slope at the edge of the shoulder. This shall be done by some mechanical method concurrently with the placement of the shoulder. The method of placement of the sloped material shall produce a smooth, compacted texture equal to the mat produced by the machine.

Do not allow traffic on new AC pavement until its mid-depth temperature is below 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Equipment which does not perform satisfactorily in the opinion of the Engineer shall be disallowed and removed from the site of the work.

Unless otherwise allowed or directed by the Engineer or otherwise provided in these Special Provisions, paving shall be performed in the following order:

1. Asphalt concrete base, if any, shall be placed.

2. The base course of asphalt concrete, if any, shall be placed.

3. The top layer of asphalt concrete shall be placed.

4. Where asphalt concrete base or a base course of asphalt concrete is used, all intersecting roads, driveways and ditches shall be paved before commencement of placing the top layer of asphalt concrete.

Section 39-6.03, "Compacting," of the Standard Specifications is superseded by the following:

General Requirements After the bituminous mixture has been spread, struck off, and surface irregularities adjusted, it shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by rolling. Rolling shall be performed in such a manner that cracking, shoving or displacement will be avoided.

The completed surfacing shall be thoroughly compacted, smooth, and free from ruts, humps, depressions, or irregularities. Any ridges, indentations or other objectionable marks left in the surface of the asphalt concrete by blading or other equipment shall be eliminated by rolling or

Page 20: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 20

other means. The use of any equipment that leaves ridges, indentations, or other objectionable marks in the asphalt concrete shall be discontinued, and acceptable equipment shall be furnished by the Contractor.

When a straightedge 12 feet is laid on the finished surface and parallel with the center line, the surface shall not vary more than 0.01 foot from the lower edge of the straightedge. The transverse slope of the finished surface shall be uniform to a degree such that no depressions greater than 0.02 foot are present when tested with a straightedge 12 foot laid in a direction transverse to the center line and extending from edge to edge of a 12-foot traffic lane.

If the finished surface of the asphalt concrete does not meet the specified surface tolerances, it shall be brought within tolerance by either (1) abrasive grinding (with fog seal coat on the areas which have been ground), (2) removal and replacement, or (3) placing an overlay of asphalt concrete. The method will be selected by the Engineer. The corrective work shall be at the Contractor's expense.

If abrasive grinding is used to bring the finished surface to specified surface tolerances, additional grinding shall be performed as necessary to extend the area ground in each lateral direction so that the lateral limits of grinding are at a constant offset from, and parallel to the nearest lane line or pavement edge, and in each longitudinal direction so that the grinding begins and ends at lines normal to the pavement centerline, within any ground area. All ground areas shall be neat rectangular areas of uniform surface appearance. Abrasive grinding shall conform to the requirements in Section 42-3 of the Standard Specifications.

Compacting Courses Less Than 0.13 Foot Thick Compacting equipment shall conform to the provisions of the subsection entitled "Compacting Equipment" of this section of these Special Provisions.

A pass shall be one movement of a roller in either direction. A coverage shall be as many passes as are necessary to cover the entire width being paved. Overlap between passes during any coverage, made to ensure compaction without displacement of material in accordance with good rolling practice, shall be considered to be part of the coverage being made and not part of a subsequent coverage. Each coverage shall be completed before subsequent coverages are started.

Rolling shall commence at the lower edge and shall progress toward the highest portion, except that if directed by the Engineer, rolling shall commence at the center and shall progress outwards.

Initial or breakdown compaction shall consist of 3 coverages of a layer of asphalt mixture and shall be performed with a 2-axle or a 3-wheel roller weighing not less than 12 tons and having rolling wheels with a diameter of 40 inches or more. Fewer coverages than specified above may be ordered by the Engineer if necessary to prevent damage to the layer being compacted.

The initial or breakdown compaction shall be followed immediately by additional rolling consisting of 3 coverages with a pneumatic tired roller. Coverages with a pneumatic-tired roller shall start when the temperature of the mixture is as high as practicable, preferably above 180 Deg F, and shall be completed while the temperature of the mixture is at or above 150 Deg F.

Each layer of asphalt concrete and asphalt concrete base shall be compacted additionally without delay by a final rolling consisting of not less than one coverage with a steel-tired roller weighing not

Page 21: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 21

less than 8 tons. Except as otherwise provided for low rates of production, a separate finish roller will be required.

Rolling shall be performed so that cracking, shoving or displacement will be avoided.

Provided it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that one roller can perform the work, the required minimum rolling equipment specified above may be reduced to one 2-axle tandem roller, weighing at least 8 tons, for each paver under any of the following conditions:

1. When asphalt concrete is placed at a rate of 50 tons, or less, per hour at any location.

2. When asphalt concrete is placed at a rate of 100 tons, or less, per hour and at the locations or under the conditions as follows:

2.1. Placed on miscellaneous areas in accordance with the provisions in Section 39-2.01C(9), "Miscellaneous Areas and Dikes". 2.2. When the width to be placed is less than 8 feet. 2.3. When the total thickness to be placed is less than 0.1 foot. 3. When the total amount of asphalt concrete included in the contract is 1,000 tons, or less.

When rolling equipment is reduced as provide in this Section F(2) the rolling requirements may be reduced to a least 3 complete coverages with said tandem roller.

Alternative compacting equipment, approved by the Engineer in accordance with California Test 113, may be used for the initial or breakdown compaction if operated according to the procedures and under the conditions designated in the approval. Such allowance of alternative compacting equipment for breakdown and finish compaction does not waive the requirement for using pneumatic-tired rollers. A vibratory roller may be used as the finish roller provided that is meets the requirements for a finish roller and is operated with the vibratory unit turned off.

During rolling operations and when ordered by the Engineer, the asphalt concrete shall be cooled by applying water. No layer shall be cooled with water unless so ordered or permitted by the Engineer.

Courses 0.13 Foot Thick Or More The Contractor shall cover the loads of asphalt concrete with tarpaulins. The Tarpaulins shall completely cover the exposed asphalt concrete until the asphalt concrete has been completely transferred into the asphalt concrete paver hopper or deposited on the roadbed.

The Contractor shall use a minimum of three rollers with separate operators: two for breakdown, and one for finish work. These rollers shall conform to the requirements for breakdown rollers as specified in Section 39 of the Standard Specifications, except that vibratory rollers using vibratory mode shall be used for initial breakdown rolling. Backup rollers shall be supplied at all paving sites.

Breakdown compaction shall be completed before the temperature in the mat drops below 250 Deg F.

Asphalt concrete shall be compacted to an average density of not less than 91 percent of the average density of specimens of the asphalt concrete mixture compacted in the laboratory per Section 39-2.01A(4)(i)(ii) of the Standard Specifications.

Page 22: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 22

Average in-place density will be determined by nuclear gauge in conformance with ASTM Test Method D2950. Laboratory specimens will be compacted in conformance with California Test 304.

Nuclear gauge tests for determining average in-place density shall be taken at the locations determined by the Engineer and which represent lots of 500 tons or less of mix. A minimum of five (5) randomly selected locations within the lot shall be tested.

The extent of each lot shall be determined by the Engineer. In determining the limits of each lot consideration will be given to such factors as productions rate, location (main line, shoulders, etc.), lift thickness and differences in the asphalt concrete mix.

The field density of asphalt mixtures, for the purpose of deduction, will be determined from a minimum of three drilled specimens per lot.

Standard Specifications Section 39-2.01A(4)(i)(ii) “In-Place Density, Reduced Payment Factors for Percent of Maximum Theoretical Density Table” applies.

The field density will be the average of the required drilled specimens.

The laboratory density, for the purpose of deduction, shall be the average density for all asphalt concrete samples taken for the project that represent the same grading, type and oil content as the material in question.

The amount of asphalt mixture involved will be computed from the field density and the volume of asphalt mixture. The volume of the mixture will be computed from the average thickness of the drilled specimens and the measured area of the asphalt mixture.

The limits of the asphalt mixture in question will be defined by the Engineer.

3.05 SHOULDERS, MEDIANS, AND OTHER ROADWAY CONNECTIONS A. Add the following to Section 39-2.01C(7) of the Revised Standard Specifications:

1. Pave shoulders and median borders adjacent to the lane before opening a lane to traffic. 2. Place shoulder conform tapers concurrently with the adjacent lane's paving. 3. Place additional HMA along the pavement's edge to conform to road connections and

Page 31: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 31

3. Have a fiber manufacturer’s representative on site during mixing and production. This

requirement can be waived if fiber manufacturer and asphalt producer can supply evidence of manufacturer’s brand of fiber being successfully produced a minimum of three times at the asphalt plant to be used for the project.

4. Batch Plant. When a batch plant is used, add fiber to the aggregate in the weigh hopper

and increase both dry and wet mixing times. Ensure that the fiber is uniformly distributed before the injection of asphalt cement into the mixture.

5. Drum Plant:

a. Inject fibers through the RAP collar manually or by feeding them with a metered air

blown system to promote rapid and complete fiber dispersion. Rate the feeding of fibers with the rate the plant is producing asphalt mix. If there is any evidence of fiber bundles at the discharge chute, increase the mixing time and/or temperature or change the angle of the fiber feeder line to increase dry mixing time.

b. Add fibers continuously and in a steady uniform manner. Provide automated

proportioning devices and control delivery within ±10% of the mass of the fibers required. Perform an equipment calibration to the satisfaction of the fiber manufacturer’s representative to show that the fiber is being accurately metered and uniformly distributed into the mix.

Include the following with the air blown system:

• Low level indicators • No-flow indicators • A printout of feed rate status in pounds/minute • A section of transparent pipe in the fiber supply line for observing consistency of

flow or feed. • Manufacturer’s representative’s approval of fiber addition system

3.02 PLACEMENT

Follow manufacturer’s and engineer’s recommendations for placement of FRAC.

3.03 QUALITY CONTROL

1. Aramid Dispersion Visual Test: Collect a 10kg sample of mix from the discharge chute during first 50 tons of production. Visually assess the state of aramid fibers in the sample according to Reference 5 (Section B of this specification) and rate the sample as “Pass” or “Fail”.

ii. “Pass” = All fibers exist in an Individual State and no Undistributed Clips or Agitated Bundles of fiber are detected.

iii. “Fail” = One or more Undistributed Clips or Agitated Bundles are detected.

Page 32: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 32

2. If a sample is rated as “Fail”, adjust mixing operations to improve fiber dispersion and repeat Step 1 above.

3. If Visual Test results in three consecutive “Fail” ratings, plant mix samples should be

sent to a third party laboratory for complete ADSR testing before production is allowed to commence.

4. In addition to Visual Test, use a shovel to inspect FRAC mix in the back of first three

trucks and every tenth truck thereafter to confirm adequate blending of the fiber.

5. Remove any observed fiber bundles from placed mixture and adjust operations per the

manufacturer’s recommendation to eliminate future fiber bundle development, and repeat Steps 1 through 3 above to confirm adequate aramid fiber dispersion.

Manufactured sand is fine aggregate produced by crushing rock or gravel.

B. Raw aggregate may only contain very limited “soft” or “highly absorptive” material. The

County may sample the raw aggregate on the days of paving to perform LA Rattler tests and to determine absorption ratios. The hot plant operator(s) shall assist the County in obtaining belt samples immediately prior to asphalt batching at the County’s sole discretion/scheduling. If an absorption ratio of a coarse aggregate sample is greater than 4%, the asphalt placed on that day shall be rejected, and removed and replaced at no cost to County. LA Rattler test results and acceptance criteria shall be per the Standard Specifications. Contractor shall ensure its subcontracts with material suppliers allow the County to enter the facilities and obtain samples in accordance with this paragraph.

C. Unacceptable Asphalt Concrete Containing Soft or Highly Absorptive Material; Liquidated Damages

a. “Soft or highly absorptive” material is defined as material that is generally whitish or light in color (color can vary) and breaks into a powder easily when routed in a dry state with hand tools such as a screw driver and may exhibit clay like characteristics when wet.

b. An unacceptable concentration of material is defined as any location larger than 100 square feet (or locations) where greater than a .096% concentration by area of soft or highly absorptive material occurs.

i. Measurement of the concentration of soft or highly absorptive material may be taken by County at any time and within any area of the work at County’s sole discretion.

ii. Discovery of any area of paving work that exceeds the limit of soft or highly absorptive material described in this subsection (b) is defective work which shall be addressed by the Contractor in accordance with subsection (c) below if County notifies Contractor at any time prior to one (1) year from the date of recording of a Notice of

Page 42: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 42

Completion for the work, or one (1) year from the date the road is open for public use if no Notice of Completion is recorded.

c. Soft or highly absorptive material can substantially reduce the useful life of the roadway, the extent of which is difficult to determine accurately. For each area, as determined by the County pursuant to subsection (b), that exceeds the maximum allowable amount of soft or highly absorptive material, the Contractor shall pay as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the amount calculated at one-half of the Contractor’s bid item prices to replace that specified area. Contractor shall pay the County the liquidated damages determined in accordance with this section within sixty (60) days of written demand by the County.

Addendum #2 - 46

Quality Program (MPQP) unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Agency. The Agency reserves the right to require approval of equipment by the Agency prior to use. 3.01.2 Placing/Spreading RHMA-G Paving equipment for spreading must be:

1. Self-propelled 2. Mechanical 3. Equipped with a screed or strike-off assembly that can distribute RHMA-G the full

width of a traffic lane 4. Equipped with a full-width compacting device 5. Equipped with automatic screed controls and sensing devices that control the thickness, longitudinal grade, and transverse screed slope

Install and maintain grade and slope references. The screed must be heated and produce a uniform RHMA-G surface texture without tearing, shoving, or gouging. The paver must not leave marks such as ridges and indentations. All trucks transporting RHMA-G to the jobsite shall be completely covered with tarpaulins, which are fully secured, during transport. Rollers must be equipped with a system that prevents RHMA-G from sticking to the wheels. Contractor must use a parting agent that does not damage the RHMA-G or impede the bonding of layers. In areas inaccessible to spreading and compacting equipment:

1. Spread the RHMA-G by any means to obtain the specified lines, grades, and cross sections

2. Use a pneumatic tamper, plate compactor, or equivalent to achieve thorough compaction.

The use of a material transfer vehicle is allowed. The material transfer vehicle must have sufficient capacity to prevent stopping the paver and must be capable of:

1. Either receiving RHMA-G directly from trucks or using a windrow pickup head to load it from a windrow deposited on the roadway surface

2. Remixing the RHMA-G with augers before transferring into the paver’s receiving hopper or feed system

3. Transferring RHMA-G directly into the paver’s receiving hopper or feed system

3.01.3 Compacting RHMA-G The Contractor shall not use a pneumatic-tired roller to compact any RHMA-G material. Each roller must have a separate operator. Rollers must be self-propelled and reversible.

3.02 Surface Preparation The Contractor shall remove all existing traffic stripes, markings, crosswalks, stop bars, and legends; and raised pavement markers in areas to receive RHMA-G and any adjacent areas as directed by the Agency. Removal shall be done by sand blasting or grinding and disposing of

Page 47: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 47

by the Contractor. Grinding or sand blasting operations shall be conducted to keep all removed pavement material from entering the storm drain system. Said removal shall not occur sooner than 2 calendar days prior to the day that the RHMA-G will be placed. Existing pavement striping, markings, or markers which are outside the work area and not to be removed, shall be protected by the Contractor. Any striping, markings, or markers to remain damaged or rendered useless by the Contractor’s operations shall be restored by the Contractor to the Agency’s satisfaction and at the Contractor’s expense. Following herbicide spraying, all vegetation shall be removed from the cracks in the pavement and from all joints between the pavement and concrete gutters by the Contractor. On the day that a street receives RHMA-G material, it shall be swept without the use of water. Pavement must be completely dry prior to placement of RHMA-G. The Contractor shall not begin any activities related to the placement of RHMA-G on any street until the Agency has approved the street cleaning. Apply a tack coat on the existing pavement surface and on the vertical surfaces of any curbs, gutters, and construction joints. Apply the tack coat at a rate shown in Table 15, or as otherwise ordered by the Agency:

Table 15: Tack Coat Application Rates for RHMA-G

RHMA-G over:

Minimum residual rates (gal/sq yd) CSS1/CSS1h, SS1,SS1h and QS1h/CQS1h

Asphalt binder and PMRS2/PMCRS2 and PMRS2h/PMCRS2h asphaltic emulsion

Existing pavement 0.07 0.08 0.06

Notify the Agency if asphaltic emulsion is diluted with water. The weight ratio of added water to asphaltic emulsion must not exceed 1 to 1. Measure added water by weight so long as the Contractor furnishes the Agency with weight slips from the weighmaster. Water may be measured by volume so long as the vehicles allow for accurate determination of its contents and each vehicle has a legible identification mark showing its volumetric capacity at any given time. The application of the tack coat material shall be uniform in appearance and free from ribboning and all other defects. Correct all defective areas of the tack coat where uniform distribution was not achieved prior to placing RHMA-G material over these areas. Placement of RHMA-G material shall not be permitted until the tack coat has broken. In the event that a scheduled street should become wet due to fog, rain, or any other reason, the placement of RHMA-G shall be suspended until the surface has dried completely, as determined by the Agency. If using sweeping equipment to clean the streets, the Contractor will perform a minimum of two (2) complete passes over all pavement surfaces. In the event the Agency determines that two (2) passes are not adequate, the Contractor shall re-sweep designated areas as necessary to

Page 48: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 48

achieve the appropriate level of pavement cleaning. Completion of sweeping shall be evidence by the absence of all loose particles of paving, all dirt, sand, gravel, leaves, and all other extraneous material. Street sweeping equipment shall be a broom sweeper, or approved equal, in a sufficiently maintained condition to accomplish the sweeping goals of the project. Pavement missed by or inaccessible to broom sweepers shall be swept clean by other methods that are approved by the Agency.

3.03 Spreading RHMA-G

RHMA-G shall be spread and compacted at an ambient air temperature of at least 55 degrees F and a surface temperature of at least 60 degrees F. When RHMA-G installation is to occur overnight, contractor will plan the schedule to occur with favorable weather conditions at no additional cost to the County. All truck loads, day or night, shall be tarped at the asphalt plant for delivery onsite. The Contractor may deposit RHMA-G in a windrow and load it in the paver if the following conditions apply:

1. Paver is equipped with a hopper that automatically feeds the screed, or if a Materials Transfer Vehicle (MTV) is used.

2. Loading equipment can pick up the windrowed material and deposit it in the paver hopper without damaging base material.

3. Activities for depositing, pickup, loading, and paving are continuous. 4. RHMA-G temperature in the windrow does not fall below 290 degrees F. 5. Tracking of material is controlled in accordance with Section 4.5 of these

Specifications RHMA-G placed in a windrow on the roadway surface must not extend more than 250 feet in front of the paver. The temperature of the RHMA-G mixture directly behind the paving machine, before any rolling, shall be from 290 to 325 degrees F. Longitudinal joints in the top layer should be offset six inches from the longitudinal joint in the existing surface layer, if that joint is discernable. The direction of the offset should be towards the lane line, if the joint is not along the lane line. If the longitudinal joint in the existing surface is not discernable, the longitudinal joint shall be along the lane line. A vertical longitudinal joint of more than two inches is not allowed at any time between adjacent lanes open to traffic. If placing RHMA-G against the edge of existing pavement, cold mill, saw cut or grind the pavement straight and vertical along the joint and remove extraneous material unless the Agency approves placement against the existing pavement edge. For divided roadways with an RHMA-G lift thickness greater than two inches, Contractor may construct a one-foot wide tapered notched wedge joint as a longitudinal joint between adjacent lanes open to traffic. A vertical notch of 0.75 inch maximum must be placed at the top and bottom of the tapered wedge. The tapered notched wedge must keep its shape while

Page 49: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 49

exposed to traffic. Pave the adjacent lane within 1 day. Construct the tapered portion of the tapered notched wedge with an authorized strike-off device. The strike-off device must provide a uniform slope and must not restrict the main screed of the paver. Contractor may use a device attached to the screed to construct longitudinal joints that will form a tapered notched wedge in a single pass. The tapered notched wedge must be compacted to a minimum of 90 percent of theoretical maximum density. Where a tapered edge is required, use the same type of RHMA-G used for the adjacent lane or shoulder. The edge of roadway where the tapered edge is to be placed must have a solid base, free of debris such as loose material, grass, weeds, or mud. Grade the areas to receive the tapered edge as required. The tapered edge must be placed monolithic with the adjacent lane or shoulder and must be shaped and compacted with a device attached to the paver. The device must be capable of shaping and compacting RHMA-G to the required cross section as shown. Compaction must be accomplished by constraining the RHMA-G to reduce the cross sectional area by 10 to 15 percent. The device must produce a uniform surface texture without tearing, shoving, or gouging and must not leave marks such as ridges and indentations. The device must be capable of transitioning to cross roads, driveways, and obstructions. For the tapered edge, the angle of the slope must not deviate by more than ±5 degrees from the angle shown in the Plans. Measure the angle from the plane of the adjacent finished pavement surface. If paving is done in multiple lifts, the tapered edge must be placed with each lift. Short sections of hand work are allowed to construct tapered edge transitions. If widening existing pavement, construct new pavement structure to match the elevation of the existing pavement's edge before placing RHMA-G over the existing pavement. Unless otherwise approved by the Agency, until the adjoining through lane's top layer has been paved, do not pave the top layer of:

1. Shoulders 2. Tapers 3. Transitions 4. Road connections 5. Driveways 6. Curve widenings 7. Chain control lanes 8. Turnouts 9. Turn pockets

If the number of lanes changes, pave each through lane's top layer before paving a tapering lane's top layer. Simultaneous to paving a through lane's top layer, you may pave an adjoining area's top layer, including shoulders. Do not operate spreading equipment on any area's top layer until completing all compaction activities.

Page 50: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 50

If shoulders or median borders are shown, pave shoulders and median borders adjacent to the lane before opening a lane to traffic. If shoulder conform tapers are shown, place conform tapers concurrently with the adjacent lane's paving.

3.04 Compacting RHMA-G

Rolling must leave the completed surface compacted and smooth without tearing, cracking, or shoving. If a vibratory roller is used as a finish roller, turn the vibrator off. Do not open new RHMA-G pavement to traffic until its mid-depth temperature is below 160 degrees F. If the surface to be paved is both in sunlight and shade, pavement temperatures are taken in the sun. The Contractor will use any means necessary to compact the RHMA-G material to 92.0 to 96 percent of the theoretical maximum specific gravity. The Contractor will submit to the Agency, in writing, the compaction method to be used at least 5 days prior to placing any RHMA-G material.

3.05 Clean Up / Control of Material Tracked From Project

It is the intent of this specification is to minimize the tracking and depositing of RHMA-G and tack beyond the limits of the paved areas of the project. Windrow paving shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize the pickup and subsequent tracking of material beyond the limits of the area being paved in each shift. Suggested methods include avoiding truck traffic over the windrow, skirting of truck bumpers and undercarriages to minimize adherence of RHMA-G, windrow sizing to minimize contact with subsequent haul vehicles, or such other means that provide for delivery and placement in conformance with these specifications without resulting in objectionable tracking of material. A full-time pick-up broom shall be provided whose operation is dedicated to the removal of any and all material deposited beyond the limits of the area to be paved in each shift. It is the intent of this specification to remove any material tracked or otherwise deposited beyond the paving limits before it adheres to the adjacent paved or other surfaces. One or more dedicated truck clean out areas shall be identified and used for each paving location. Such areas shall meet with the approval of the Engineer and be obtained with written authorization for use from the owner of the property prior to use. Trucks shall proceed to the clean out area immediately after depositing the RHMA-G in the paver hopper, material transfer device, or windrow. All material adhering to the exterior of the truck shall be removed before the truck leaves the clean out area in such a manner that no material is subsequently deposited on the haul route. The use of any solvents or release agents shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. The clean out area shall be maintained in a manner conforming to all stormwater and waste disposal regulations, may require the placement of a membrane under the clean out area prior to operations, and shall be returned to its original condition immediately upon cessation of paving operations utilizing the clean out area Any RHMA-G or tack tracked onto adjacent paved or other surfaces shall be removed to the satisfaction of the Engineer within 24 hours of completion of paving operations utilizing those adjacent surfaces, which shall be considered to include the entire truck haul route(s) between

Page 51: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 51

the project location(s) and the plant(s) supplying the RHMA-G. If the adjacent surfaces are not cleaned to the satisfaction of the Engineer within 24 hours, the Engineer reserves the right to employ County forces or an outside contractor to clean the area(s). If County forces are employed, liquidated damages in the amount of $500 per hour times the actual hours required to clean the area(s) will be deducted from monies otherwise due. If an outside contractor is employed, the actual costs for clean up will be deducted from monies otherwise due. The costs for minimizing or otherwise controlling tracking and depositing and subsequent clean-up of any materials shall be considered as included in the other items of work and no additional compensation will be provided therefore.

3.06 Pavement Smoothness

The Contractor will produce an RHMA-G pavement where the surface has a uniform appearance and texture, free from any humps or bumps, and free from segregation. The RHMA-G pavement shall be true to grade and cross section. When a 10-foot straightedge is laid on the finished surface parallel to the centerline of the roadway, the finished surface shall not vary from the edge of the straightedge more than 1/8 inch, except at intersections or at changes of grade. Any areas that are not within this tolerance shall be brought to grade immediately following the initial rolling. If the RHMA-G has cooled below the lower limits of the spreading temperatures prescribed in this specification, the surface of the pavement shall be brought to a true grade cross section. The RHMA-G in the area to be repaired shall be removed, by cold milling, to provide a minimum laying depth of 1 inch, or 2 times the maximum aggregate size, whichever is greater, of the new pavement at the join line. Repairs shall not be made to the pavement surface by tampering the thickness at the join lines. Whenever compaction of the RHMA-G is complete, place all permanent traffic stripes, pavement markings, crosswalks, stop bars, and raised pavement markers as shown in the Plans or project Specifications. Placement of all pavement markings and raised pavement markers shall be completed within 10 calendar days after compaction of the RHMA-G. Protect newly placed traffic stripes and pavement markings from traffic and other deleterious activities until the paint is thoroughly dry or the thermoplastic is hard enough to bear traffic.

PART 4 – AGENCY ACCEPTANCE

The Agency reserves the right to refuse to permit the use of material solely on the basis of a Certificate of Compliance, except for the asphalt modifier and crumb rubber modifier. The contractor shall allow the Agency or their designee access to observe any and all QC testing being performed. The Contractor must inform the Agency or their designee of the time and location that all QC testing will be performed. Contractor shall deliver samples of materials used to the Agency or permit the Agency or their designee access to obtain samples from any stockpiles or facilities used to store or produce materials used in the RHMA-G upon request at any time during construction. Agency reserves the right to have such materials tested by an independent laboratory for compliance with the requirements in Section 2 for acceptance purposes. The Agency will use the results of the Contractor’s QC and their own test results to determine if the materials used for the RHMA-G meet the quality characteristic requirements that are specified herein. The Agency will accept the completed, in-place RHMA-G if the final

Page 52: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION ‘C’ 1. MOBILIZATION [10 ...

Addendum #2 - 52

product is uniform in appearance, free from all visible defects, bumps, and has met the minimum in-place density specified in Section 4.4 and binder content in section 2.6.

PART 5 – PAYMENT

The payment quantity for RHMA-G is measured based on the combined mixture weight per ton, less the cost of fibers required in the asphalt mix, which are paid separately. If recorded batch weights are printed automatically, the bid item for RHMA-G is measured by using the printed batch weights. Contractor shall supply: 1. Time, date, mix number, load number, and truck identification are correlated with a load

slip. 2. Each load slip shows the truck’s empty weight and the truck’s total weight including

RHMA-G material. 3. Copy of the recorded batch weights is certified by a licensed weighmaster.

The payment for tack coat is included in the payment for RHMA-G. The Agency does not adjust the unit price for an increase or decrease in the tack coat quantity. The contract price per ton shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials, tools, equipment, and incidentals and for performing all the work involved as shown on the plans and as specified in these Special Provisions, the Standard Specifications, and as directed by the Engineer and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
