BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND MARKINGS 32 12 16 - 1 SECTION 32 12 16 - BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENT PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 RELATED DOCUMENTS A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General Requirements and Specific Requirements, apply to this Section. B. "Form 819" shall mean the State of Connecticut, Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Roads, Bridges and Incidental Construction, Form 819 or its latest edition and any supplemental specifications. 1.02 SUMMARY A. This Section includes the materials, labor, installation and incidental costs for the installation of subbase material, base materials, bituminous concrete pavement and markings. 1.03 SUBMITTALS A. Material Certificates: Provide material certificates signed by the material producer and the Contractor, certifying that materials and products comply with specified requirements. 1.04 QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Material and Methods of Construction: Shall comply with the following standards: 1. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 2. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). 3. Asphalt Institute (AI). 4. State of Connecticut DOT Standard Specifications, Form 818, inclusive of all supplements. B. Testing: Compaction tests may be required by the Owner and shall be paid for by the Contractor. No specific testing schedule has been established at this time. If tests indicate that density requirements have not been achieved, the Contractor shall continue compacting. All retesting in these areas shall be paid for by the Contractor. C. Density and Compaction Testing: The Contractor is responsible to schedule compaction tests if required by the Owner and to allow adequate time for the proper execution of said tests. D. Allowable Tolerances: Final surface of base materials within 3/8" from a required grade. Final pavement thicknesses shall conform to specified requirements as shown in the Drawings. Test for smoothness using a ten (10) foot long straightedge. Surface shall not
BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND MARKINGS 32 12 16 - 2 vary more than 1/4" from straightedge when placed in any direction. In no case will water be allowed to stand or puddle on any finished pavement. E. Permits/Approvals: The Contractor shall obtain approval of construction and secure all permits for all work. 1.05 DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING A. Transporting shipments of bituminous concrete material shall be made in tight vehicles previously cleaned of all foreign material, and delivered to the site, so that it will not become contaminated in any way. 1.06 PROJECT CONDITIONS A. Weather Limitations 1. Base material shall not be placed on frozen or saturated subbase material. 2. Bituminous concrete paving material shall not be placed on frozen or saturated base material. 3. Cold weather: Bituminous concrete paving materials shall be mixed and placed in accordance with minimum placement temperature as specified in Article 4.06.03, Item 8 - Placing of Mixture, Form 818. 4. Precipitation or Moisture: Placement of bituminous concrete paving materials shall not be scheduled when weather conditions of fog or rain prevail nor when the pavement surface shows signs of any moisture. 5. Precipitation Probability: Placement of bituminous concrete paving materials shall not be scheduled when the Precipitation Probability, obtained by the Contractor from the U.S. Weather Bureau Within three (3) hours prior to the start of such operations, equals or exceeds fifty (50) percent. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the exact time at which the above information was obtained. B. Grade Control: Establish and maintain the required lines and grades for each course during paving operations. C. Provide temporary barricades and warning lights as required for protection of project work and pubic safety. D. Protect adjacent work from damage, soiling and staining during paving operations. E. Inspection Costs: All costs associated with material certifications, plant inspection and laboratory tests shall be borne by the Contractor and shall be deemed included in the price bid for asphalt pavement. PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.01 BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENT A. Conform to the requirements of Article M.04.01, Form 819.
BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVEMENT AND MARKINGS 32 12 16 - 4 3. Protect existing abutting pavement during paving operations. Replace any abutting pavement damaged during paving operations. Joint between bituminous pavement and existing portland cement concrete pavement shall be tightly compacted and pavement edge shall be of equal density to other areas of pavement. 4. Provide a cross-pitch of 1/4" per foot for proper drainage. Ensure that there are no “low” spots that may trap water and create a slipping hazard. B. Forms 1. Provide wood edge forms of an approved type and a minimum length of ten (10) feet for tangents and curves, unless otherwise shown on the plans. Wood forms shall be of a depth equal to the depth of the pavement and shall be securely staked and braced to the required line and grade. Note: Hand tamp edges and bevel if wood forms are not used. 2. Install wood forms along all edges of pavement to produce a clean vertical edge. Secure strips to allow for proper compaction of bituminous concrete. Do not remove edge screed strips until pavement is thoroughly compacted. Raveled edges will not be accepted. Wood forms are to be removed after the bituminous pavement has completely set. 3. All forms shall be straight, free from bends and warps at all times, and shall be cleaned thoroughly and oiled before pavement is placed against them, this cleaning and oiling being repeated daily as the forms are moved ahead. 4. The forms shall rest firmly upon the thoroughly compacted sub-grade throughout their entire length, shall be joined neatly and tightly and staked securely to line and grade, three (3) bracing pins or stakes, each ten (10) foot length of side form, so that they will resist the pressure of the pavement and the impact of the roller without springing. C. Placing 1. Bituminous concrete pavement shall be constructed and compacted in conformance with CT DOT Form 818 requirements. 2. Coat the edge of all abutting pavement with tack coat before installing bituminous concrete pavements. Insure that the abutting pavement has a sound, clean, straight edge. Feathering of edges and transitions between new and existing pavements is not acceptable. Protect surfaces of abutting pavement from tack coat overspray. 3. Each mixture shall be furnished and laid by means of a mechanical spreader of approved design to a depth which after final compaction shall be equal to the specified depth. In areas where the use of a mechanical spreader is impractical, as determined by the Engineer, other means of spreading and compacting may be permitted. The use of hand rakes will not be permitted. The Contractor shall use lutes where necessary.
