the Contractor unless otherwise provided herein. Any work which fails to meet the requirements of any such tests,
inspections or approval, and any work which meets the requirements of any such tests or approval but does not meet the
requirements of the contract documents shall be considered defective. Such defective work shall be corrected at the
Contractor's expense.
Neither observations by the Owner or Owner's Representative, nor inspections, tests, or approvals made by Owner, Owner's

The Contractor further agrees that the Owner may make such changes and alterations as the Owner may see fit, in the line,
grade, form dimensions, plans or or materials for the work herein contemplated, or any part thereof, either before or after
the beginning of the constriction, without affecting the validity of this contract and the accompanying bond.
If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not constitute the basis for a claim for
damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed with. If they inCrease the amount of work, and the
increased work can fairly be classified under the specifications, such increase shall be paid according to the quantity
actually done and at the unit price established for such work under this contract; otherwise such additional work shall be
paid for as provided under Extra Work. In rase the Owner shall make such changes or alterations as shall make useless any
work already done or material already furnished or used in said work, then the Owner shall recompense the Contractor for
any material or labor so used, and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to actual expenses incurred in
preparation for the work as originally planned.
24. EXTRA WORK

Owner or Owners Representative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change, alteration or addition to the work
ras shown on the plans and specifications or contract documents and not covered by Contractor's proposal, except as
t m provided under Changes and Alterations herein.

the Contractor for performing said extra work shall be determined by the following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before the extra work is commenced, then
the Contractor shall be paid the actual field cost of the work, plus fifteen (1501a) per cent.

In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C), then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply
and the "actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, such as foremen, timekeepers, mechanics
and laborers, materials, supplies, teams, trucks, rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time actually employed or used
on such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred, together with all expenses incurred directly on
account of such extra work, including Social Security, Old Age Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Liability and Property
Damage and Workmen's Compensation and all other insurances as may be required by law or ordinances or directed by the
Owner or Owner's Representative, or by them agreed to. Owner's Representative may direct the form in which accounts of
the actual field cost shall be kept and records of these accounts shall be made available to the Owner's Representative. The
Owner's Representative may also specify in writing, before the work commences, the method of doing the work and the type
and kind of machinery and equipment to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless

otherwise specified, of the latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership Expenses adopted by the Associated General
Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for the use of machinery and equipment shall be
incorporated in the written extra work order. The fifteen percent (15%) of the actual field cost to be paid to Contractor shall
cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general superintendence and field office expense, and all other elements
of cost and expense not embraced within the actual field cost as herein defined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or
Field Office must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same
shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in writing by Owner's Representative. In case any
orders or instructions appear to the Contractor to involve extra work for which he should receive compensation or an
adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written request to the Owner's Representative for a written order
authorizing such extra work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not constitute extra work or as to
the payment therefore, and the Owner's Representative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the
work after making written request for written order and shall keep adequate and accurate account of the actual field cost
thereof, as provided under Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to
arbitration as herein below provided.
25. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that it is the intent of this contract that all work described in the proposal, the specifications, plans and
other contract documents, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that such price shall include all

Owner's Representative. If the Contractor finds any discrepancies or omissions in these plans, specifications, or contract
documents, he should notify the Owners' Representative and obtain a clarification before the bids are received, and if no
such request is received by the Owner's Representative prior to the opening of bids, then it shall be considered that the

in accordance with these plans and specifications. It is further understood that any request for clarification must be
submitted no later than five days prior to the opening of bids.

with the rate of progress required under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the Contractor in
writing to increase their safety or improve their character and efficiency and the Contractor shall comply with such order.
If, at any time, the working force of the Contractor is inadequate for securing the progress herein specified, the Contractor

such notice to the Owner's Representative, he shall bear all costs arising therefrom.
The Owner is a municipal corporation of the State of Texas and the law from which it derives its powers, insofar as the
same regulates the objects for which, or the manner in which, or the conditions under which the Owner may enter into
contracts, shall be controlling, and shall be considered as part of this contract to the same effect as though embodied herein.
33. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
The Contractor further agrees that he will retain personal control and will give his personal attention to the fulfillment of
this contract. The Contractor further agrees that subletting of any portion or feature of the work, or materials required in
the performance of this contract, shall not relieve the Contractor from his full obligations to the Owner, as provided by this
contractual agreement.
34. TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the date of beginning and
time for completion as specified in the contract of work to be done hereunder are essential conditions of this contract; and it
is further mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this contract shall be commenced on a date to be
specified in the Notice to Proceed.
If the Contractor should neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, or any proper
extension thereof granted by the Owner, then the Contractor does hereby agree as part of the consideration for the awarding
of this contract, the Owner may withhold permanently from Contractor's total compensation, the sum of $100.00 (One
Hundred) PER DAY, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for the breach of the contract as herein set forth for each
and every calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated for completing the work
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the
work described herein is reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic
change and conditions and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality.
The amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and
extreme difficulty in fixing and ascertaining actual damages the Owner would in such event sustain, and the amount is
agreed to be damages the Owner would sustain and shall be retained by the Owner from current periodical estimates for
payments or from final payment.
It is further agreed and understood between the Contractor and Owner that time is of the essence of this contract.
35. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION
It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall be
allowed to prosecute his work at such time and sessions, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most
conductive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and time of prosecution shall be such that the
work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications,
and within the time of completion designated in the proposals; provided, also, that when the Owner is having other work
done, either by contract or by his own force, the Owner's Representative may direct the time and manner of constructing
r
work done under this contract so that conflicts will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the
Owner shall be harmonized.
The Contractor shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Owner's Representative, schedules which
shall show the order in which the Contractor proposes to carry on the work, with dates at which the Contractor will start the
several parts of the work and estimated dates of completion of the several parts.
36. EXTENSION OF TIME
The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in full recognition of the time required for the completion of this
project, taking into consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing in this locality, and has
considered the liquidated damage provisions of paragraph 3 3 hereinabove set forth and that he shall not be entitled to, nor
will he request, an extension of time on this contract, except when his work has been delayed by an act or neglect of the
Owner, Owner's Representative, employees of the Owner or other contractors employed by the owner, or by changes ordered
.in the work, or by strike, walkouts, acts of God or the public enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for
an extension of time, submitting therewith all written justification as may be required by Owner's Representative for such an
extension as requested by Contractor. The Owner's Representative within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request for
an extension of time by the Contractor supported by all requested documentation shall then submit such written request to
the City Council of the City of Lubbock for their consideration. Should the Contractor disagree with the action of City
Council on granting an extension of time, such disagreement shall be settled by arbitration as hereinafter provided.
37. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS
In executing the contract agreement, the Contractor agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within the time herein
fixed, he has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays incident to such work, whether
growing out of delays in securing material or workmen or otherwise. No charge shall be made by the Contractor for
hindrance or delays from any cause during the progress of any part of the work embraced in this contract except where the
work is stopped by order of the Owner or Owner's Representative for the Owner's convenience, in which event, such
expense as in the judgment of the Owner's Representative that is caused by such stoppage shall be paid by Owner to
Contractor.
38. OUANTTTIES AND MEASUREMENTS
No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured or computed length, area, solid
contents, number and weight only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.In the event this contract is let
on a unit price basis, then Owner and Contractor agree that this contract, including the specifications, plans and other
contract documents are intended to show clearly all work to be done and material to be furnished hereunder. Where the
estimated quantities are shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under this contract,
they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing their
proposals offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and the materials to
be furnished under this contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for payment under this
contract is the unit price method, payment shall be for the actual amount of work done and materials furnished on the
project.
39. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining property or properties in any way encountered,
which may be injured or seriously affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under this agreement, from any
damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and he shall be liable for any and all claims for such damage on
account of his failure to fully protect all adjacent property. The Contractor agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the
Owner against any claim or claims for damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or growing
out of the performance of this contract, but such indemnity shall not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the
existence or character of the work.

40. PRICE FOR WORK
r- In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and material and the completion of all work by the
fContractor, and on the delivery of all materials embraced in this contract in full conformity with the specifications and
stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price set forth in the proposal attached hereto,
which has been made a part of this contract, and the Contractor hereby agrees to receive such price in full for furnishing all
materials and all labor required for the aforesaid work, also, for all expenses incurred by him and for well and truly
performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this agreement, the attached specifications,
plans, contract documents and requirements of Owner's Representative.
41. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the contract, either
wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of darwtive work. Contractor shall at
any time requested during the progress of the work famish the Owner or Owner's Representative with a verifying certificate
showing the Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the work. Before final payment is made,
Contractor shall satisfy Owner, by affidavit or otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by
reason of any work under the contract. Acceptance by Contractor of final payment of the contract price shall constitute a
waiver of all claims against Owner which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS
On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application for partial
payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the progress of the work made by

the total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and including the last day of the preceding month; said statement
shall also include the value of all sound materials delivered on site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work
The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of the current month the total amount of the Owner's
Representative's Certificate of Partial Payment, less 5% of the amount thereof, which S% shall be retained until final
payment, and further, less all previous payments and all further sums that may be retained by Owner under the terms of this
agreement. It is understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion, and this fact is certified to by
Owner's Representative and some unexpected and some unusual delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the
Contractor, the Owner may upon written recommendation of Owner's Representative pay a reasonable and equitable portion
of the retained percentage due Contractor.
43. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that the work has been
completed or substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and the Owner shall inspect the work and within said
time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with. the contract documents, the
Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his certificate of completion, and thereupon it shall be the
duty of the Owner within thirty-one (31) days to issue a certificate of acceptance of the work to the Contractor.
44. FINAL PAYMENT
Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final measurement and
prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the agreement, and
1 shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the Contractor on or before the 31st day after the date of certificate of
completion, the balance due Contractor under the terms of this agreement, provided he has fully performed his contractual
obligations under the terms of this contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said performance by the
E, Contractor. Neither the certificate of acceptance nor the final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall
relieve the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which may be required in the special conditions (if
any) of this contract or required in the specifications made a part of this contract.

45. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owners' premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative on
account of failure to conform to the contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and Contractor shall at his
own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other materials conforming to the requirements of the
contract. Contractor shall also bear the expense of restoring all work of other contractors damaged by any such removal or
replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace any such condemned work within a reasonable time after a written
notice by the Owner or the Owner's Representative, Owner may remove and replace it at Contractor's expense.
46. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT
Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this contract shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for
faulty materials or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any damage to other work .—
resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. The Owner
or the Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed defects with reasonable promptness.
47. PAYMENT WITHHELD
The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to
such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of.
(a) Defective work not remedied.
(b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor.
(d) Damage to another contractor.
When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner, which will
protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them.
48. TBAE OF FILING CLAIMS
It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor shall be in
writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) days after the Owner's Representative has given any
directions, order or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception. The Owners' Representative shall reply to
such written exceptions by the Contractor and render his final decision in writing. In case the Contractor should appeal
from the decision of the Owner's Representative, any demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Owner's Representative
and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the Owner's
Representative. It is further agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the acceptance by the Contractor of
the final payment shall be a bar to any claim by either party, except where noted otherwise in the contract documents.
49. ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written notification from
the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of the Owner's Representative,
when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Agreement, or the Specifications hereto attached, then the Surety on
the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete the work and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the
Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment under the contract for
work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the Contractor, or another contractor, in completion of
the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra
Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under paragraph 24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of
such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement
t
r
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for within ten
(10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the; work in either of the following
.•� elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as said
Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment,
tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the
Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under
and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under
this contract, if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference.
In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had
been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to
the Owner, or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper having a
general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under
substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In case of any increase in cost to
the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increase
shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefore. However, should the cost to
complete any such new contract prove to be less than that which would have been the cost to complete the work
under this contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and certificates of
completion and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued A complete itemized
e statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and
delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as the case may be, shall pay the
r- balance due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date of certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would have been the
tout to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this contract, or when the Contractor
and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner, then all machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to
complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner
within the time designated hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the
site of the work, notice thereof, together with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the
Contractor and his Surety at the respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual written
notice given in any manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be
held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect
such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety. Such sale
may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than the
Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms
within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may, suspend or wholly abandon the
f work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all materials on the ground that have not been
included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work. Thereupon, the Owner's
Representative shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the value
of all work actually completed by said Contractor at the prices stated in the the attached proposal, the value of all partially
completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or
7 provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor
to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then make a final
statement of the balance due the Contractor by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and
r, all other sums that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner
I
who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance
shown by said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
51. BONDS
The successful bidder shall be required to furnish a performance bond and payment bond in accordance with Article 5160,
Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes in the amount of 100% of the total contract price, in the event said contract price exceeds
$25,000.00. If the contract price does not exceed $25,000.00, the statutory bonds will not be required. All bonds, if
required, shall be submitted on forms supplied by the Owner, and executed by an approved Surety Company authorized to
do business in the State of Texas. And it is further agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until such bonds are so —
f n-nished.
52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
In the event special conditions are contained herein as part of the contract documents and said special conditions conflict
with any of the general conditions contained in this contract, then in such event the special conditions shall control.

54
55.
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss or damage to the Contractor arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen circumstance and the prosecution of the same, or from unusual
obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the
Contractor at his own cost and expense. _
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor with full, complete and exclusive power and authority to direct,
supervise, and control his own employees and to determine the method of the performance of the work covered hereby. The
fact that the Owner or Owner's Representative shall have the right to observe Contractor's work during his performance and
to carry out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to and vested in the Owner or Owner's Representative
hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or effect the status of the Contractor as an independent
contractor with respect to either the Owner or Owner's Representative or to the Contractor's own employees or to any other
person, firm, or corporation.
CLEANING UP
The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at the
completion of the work he shall remove all such debris and also his tools, scaffolding, and surplus materials and shall leave
the work room clean or its equivalent. The work shall be left in good order and condition. In case of dispute Owner may
remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.,.;

or 7 days and at 7 or 28 days. The fifth cylinder shall be
IV-3
i
held available for subsequent testing, if determined
necessary by the Engineer. The test result shall be the
average of the two 7 or 28 day specimens, except that, if
one specimen in the test shows manifest evidence of
improper sampling, molding, or testing, it shall be
discarded and the remaining two strengths averaged. Should
more than one specimen representing a given test show
definite defects, due to improper sampling, molding or
testing, the entire test shall be discarded.
The result of the 7 or 28 day strength tests shall be used
as the basis for accepting or rejecting the concrete
represented.
The results of the 3 or 7 day strength tests will be
compared with the 3 or 7 day strength of the
preconstruction test cylinders for the type and slump of
the concrete being produced. Should the 3 or 7 day
strengths indicate a deficiency in the 7 or 28 day
strengths, the Engineer may require a temporary change in
proportions to correct such deficiency. Such change shall
remain in effect until the 7 or 28 day strength of the
material in question is determined, at which time the
change shall become permanent or shall be rescinded,
depending upon the results of the 7 or 28 day test.
The engineer shall record the delivery ticket number for
the concrete and the exact location in the work at which
each load represented by a strength test is deposited.

temperature is above 450 F and rising.
C. Asphalt Stabilized Base
1. The asphaltic mixture shall not be placed when the
air temperature is below 450 F and falling.
2. The asphaltic mixture may be placed when the air
temperature is above 400F and rising.
The engineer may use his discretion to require a cover over
the asphaltic mixture when being hauled from the plant to
the job site. The air temperature shall be taken in the
shade away from artificial heat or as reported by the
National Weather Service on their hourly report (Telephone
No. 762-0141). It is further provided that the prime coat,
tack coat or asphalt stabilized base shall be placed only
when the general weather conditions and temperature and
moisture conditions of the subbase or subgrade,in the
opinion of the Engineer, are suitable.
If, after being discharged from the mixer and prior to
placing, the temperature of the asphaltic mixture is 250 F
or'more below the temperature approved by the Engineer, all
or any part of the load may be rejected and payment will
not be made for the rejected material.
(2) Prime Coat
The prime coat shall consist of an application of twenty-
five hundredths (0.25) gallons per square yard of MC
asphalt. The asphalt stabilized base shall not be applied
on a previously primed course until the prime coat has "-
completely cured to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
(3) Tack Coat
Before the asphaltic mixture is laid, the surface upon
which the tack coat is to be placed shall be cleaned
thoroughly to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The surface
shall be given a uniform application of tack coat using
asphaltic materials of this specification. This tack coat
shall be applied, as directed by the Engineer, with an _
approved sprayer at a rate not to exceed one -tenth (0.10)
gallon per square yard of surface. Where the mixture will
adhere to the surface on which it is to be placed without
the use of a tack coat, the tack coat may be eliminated by
the Engineer. All contact surfaces of curbs and structures
and all joints shall be painted with a thin uniform coat of _
the asphaltic material meeting the requirements for tack
IV-26
coat. During the application of the tack coat, care shall
be taken to prevent splattering of the adjacent pavement,
curb and gutter and structures. The tack coat shall be
rolled with a pneumatic tire roller when directed by the
Engineer.
(4) Transporting
The asphaltic mixture, prepared as specified above shall be
hauled to the work in tight vehicles previously cleaned of
all foreign material. The dispatching of the vehicles shall
be arranged so that all material delivered may be placed,
and all rolling shall be completed during daylight hours.
The inside of the truck body may be given a light coat of
oil, lime slurry or other material satisfactory to the
Engineer, if necessary, to prevent mixture from adhering to
the body. In cool weather or for long hauls, canvas covers
and insulating of truck bodies may be required. Vehicles of
the semi -trailer type are prohibited.
(5) Placing
Generally, the asphaltic mixture shall be dumped and spread
on the approved prepared surface with the specified
spreading and finishing machine. When properly compacted,
the finished course will be smooth, of uniform density, and

undue displacement of the edge of the course does not
�+
occur. On deep lifts, the edge of the course: may be rolled
with a motor grader wheel or similar equipment or supported
by blading a roll of earth against the edge of the course
prior to compacting the surface.
When the asphaltic mixture is placed in a narrow strip
along the edge of an existing pavement, or used to level up
small areas of an existing pavement or placed in small
irregular areas where the use of a finishing machine is not
practical, the finishing machine may be eliminated when
authorized by the Engineer, provided a satisfactory surface
'
can be obtained by other approved methods.

I. Compacting
(1) As directed by the Engineer, the asphalt stabilized
base shall be compacted thoroughly and uniformly with
the specified rollers. In lieu of the r•_lling equipment
specified, the Contractor may, upon written permission
from the Engineer, operate other compacting equipment
that will produce equivalent relative compaction as the
.specified equipment. If the substituted compaction
equipment fails to produce the desired compaction as
would be expected of the specified equipment, as
determined by the Engineer, its use shall be
discontinued. When directed by the Engineer, the
initial compaction shall be accomplished with pneumatic
tire rollers.
(2) When rolling with the three wheel, tandem, or vibratory `
rollers, rolling shall start longitudinally at the
sides and proceed toward the center of the pavement,
overlapping on successive trips by at least half the --
width of the rear wheel unless otherwise directed by
the Engineer. Alternate trips of the roller shall be
slightly different in length. On super elevated _
curves, rolling shall begin at the low side and
progress toward the high side unless otherwise directed
by the Engineer. When rolling with vibratory steel
wheel rollers, the manufacturer's recommendation shall -'
be followed unless directed otherwise by the Engineer.
Rolling with pneumatic -tire roller shall be done as
directed by the Engineer. Rolling shall be continued
until no further increase in density can be obtained
and all roller marks are eliminated. The motion of the
roller shall be slow enough at all times to avoid
displacement of the mixture. If any displacement
occurs, it shall be corrected at once by the use of a
rake, and of fresh mixtures where required. The roller
shall not be allowed to stand on any portion of the
pavement mixture which has not been fully compacted.
To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the
wheels shall be kept thoroughly moistened.with water,
but an excess of water will not be permitted. All
rollers must be in good mechanical condition.
Necessary precautions shall be taken to prevent the
dropping of diesel, gasoline, oil, grease or other
foreign matter on the roadway, either when the rollers
are in operation or when standing.
The edges of the pavement along curbs, headers and
similar structures, and all places not accessible to
the roller, or in such positions as will not allow
thorough compaction with the rollers, shall be
IV-28
�I thoroughly compacted with lightly oiled tamps
J. Surface Finish
The compacted material shall conform to the typical cross
sections, lines and grades as shown on plans and directed
by the Engineer and shall have a smooth surface with a
reasonably uniform texture acceptable to the Engineer.
Unacceptable finished surfaces may be corrected by the
placement of additional mixture, all at the expense of the
Contractor.
K. Protection Of The Work And Opening To Traffic
The completed asphalt stabilized base course shall be
opened to traffic as provided by the plans and as directed

Details of Construction
1. CONCRETE
A. Curb and Gutter (Class A -Concrete)
Description
This item shall consist of Portland Cement twenty-four
inch ( 2411) concrete curb and gutter or twenty-four inch
(2411) separate gutter as shown on the plans or as directed
by the engineer, and shall be constructed of Class A
k concrete. Included in the curb and gutter item is the
subgrade preparation and the filling and shaping of the
area behind the curb.
1. Curb Openings
Separate gutter sections will be placed only across alleys
and driveways presently in use or where definitely planned
for future property improvements. It shall be the
responsibility of the contractor to contact the property
owner and determine the proper location of driveways
before curb and gutter is constructed. All gutters across
new or proposed driveways must meet the requirements set
forth in the City Sidewalk and Driveway Regulations,
Ordinance Number 1466 and amendments thereto and gutters
across existing driveways will be required to conform to
said regulations if no hardship to the existing property
improvements is involved. In any event, all curb and
gutter to be poured must have the engineers approval as
to driveway widths and location, in addition to the
section, and line and grade approval before any pour is
started on any curb and gutter unit.
2. Excavation and Subgrade Preparation
Excavation for the curb and gutter shall be made with the
excavation of the entire street. The excavation shall be
done to the lines and grades set by the engineer and in
such a manner as to require a maximum one-half inch (;4")
of fill to bring the subgrade to the correct elevation.
Subgrade that is undercut one inch (1") or more shall be
brought to the correct elevation by scarifying, wetting,
disking, blading, rolling and compacting to 95k Standard
Proctor Density (ASTM D698) with pneumatic rolling to
correct elevation prior to setting forms. Before
completion of curb and gutter, all traffic signs and
street name markers found in the way of paving will
V-1
immediately be relocated behind the proposed curb and
gutter by the Contractor.
3. Setting Forms
Forms for concrete and gutter shall be set to the lines
and grades established by the engineer after the subgrade
has been prepared. The forms shall be held together and in
place in such a manner that they will not Trove during the
placing and working of the concrete. The forms shall be
cleaned and oiled prior to pouring concrete. Face forms
and construction joints (removable metal plates) shall be
set-to hold the concrete for the curb in place until it is
to be finished.
Forms for radii shall be set in the same manner as the
straight forms except that no face form will be required
if a true section is obtained by other methods as approved
by the engineer. The radii forms shall be set in such a
manner that the curve will be true.
4. Placement (Including Making Joints)
Sufficient concrete shall be placed to allow for shrinkage
and extra material for finishing, and the concrete shall
be floated and troweled to the approximate section, and
only after the concrete receives a partial set shall the
face forms be removed. The section shall then be shaped to
the true cross-section by the use of a metal -screed which
is shaped to the true cross-section.
A "mule" screed shall be used only to shape to true cross-
section when topping material is provided and pushed along
on the front edge of the mule.
Curb and gutter shall be constructed with an expansion
joint at the tangent point of each return at intersections
and at intervals of no more than forty feet (401) between
the intersections. Forty feet (401) intervals may be
waivedifcurb and gutter machine is used. Expansion
joints shall be of the material hereinbefore specified.
Construction joints formed by removable metal plates
(templates) accurately shaped to the cross-section of the
curb and gutter shall be located at the mid -point of each
section between expansion joints or as directed by the
engineer. Contraction joints shall be placed at ten foot
intervals. All joints shall be perpendicular to the
surface of the concrete and to the axis of the section.
5. Finishing
V-2
A ten feet (101)metal "straight -edge" shall be used to
strike the flow line to grade, continuously along the flow
line of the gutter. This operation shall be followed with
r a four feet (41) spirit level to assure the continuous
grade down the flow -line the length of the gutter.
Curb and gutter shall be finished uniformly by wood
f trowelling to an accurate cross-section. Extra water will
not be added for finishing. The final finish will be
accomplished with a brush, the last stroke being one from
the back of curb to the lip of gutter. Both sides of all
joints, the lip of gutter, and the back edge of the curb
shall be finished with a one-fourth inch N") radius
edging tool before the final brushing. Curves at the top
and bottom of the section shall present a uniform
appearance without "waves" in the face of the curb or
"pockets" in the gutter.
Concrete shall not be poured during sand storms. Concrete
shall be protected to maintain temperature of not less
than 50 degrees F. for five (5) days after placement. If
aggregate and water are heated, they shall not be heated
above 90 degrees F. Concrete shall not be placed when the
ambient temperature is less than 40 degrees F. It shall be
the responsibility of the Contractor to anticipate as
nearly as possible changes in weather conditions which
would affect the placement and protection of the concrete,
and be prepared to protect freshly placed concrete when
sudden changes in the weather make such protection
necessary.
6. Removing Forms
Special care is required of the Contractor in his removing
of pins and of forms. Pins shall be pulled from the ground
to free forms. If hammering is found to be necessary, a
one (1) pound hammer shall be used. The contractor shall
not place forms or pins on newly finished concrete.
Loading and unloading of forms from a truck shall be
executed by two workmen. It is the duty of the Contractor
to remove any warped forms found in any section of forms,
before it is poured. When forms are pointed out as
defective, those forms shall then be removed from the job
site and not returned until they have been inspected by
the Engineer.
7. Machine Laid Curb and Gutter
Class A concrete shall be used for machine laid curb and
gutter. The slump of the concrete shall be as directed by
V-3
the Engineer. Reinforcing steel, if required, shall
conform to Section 3 under Materials of Construction.
The curb and gutter shall be laid by an extrusion machine
approved by the Engineer. Immediately prior to placing the
curb and gutter, the previously approved foundation shall
be thoroughly cleaned.
The line for top of curb shall be maintained from a
guideline set by the Contractor from survey marks
established by the Engineer. Curb outline shall strictly
conform to the details shown on the plans.
The approved mix shall be fed into the machine in such a
manner and at such consistency that the finished curb will
present a well compacted mass with a surface free from
voids and honeycombs and true to established shape, line,
and grade.
Additional surface finishing shall be performed
immediately after extrusion. Extra water will not be added
for finishing. Unless otherwise specified by the Engineer,
joints shall be constructed as follows: Expansion joints
shall be located at each end radius at intersections and
alley returns and at the beginning of the pour, and dummy
grooved joints shall be spaced at 10 foot intervals
between the expansion joints.
8. Curing
All concrete work shall be covered with heavy water -proof
type paper to prevent loss of moisture and to prevent
direct sunlight from striking the concrete, as soon as it
has set sufficiently enough to prevent marking.
In lieu of this method of curing, the curb and gutter may
be cured by applying a liquid membrane coating to all -
exposed surfaces, provided such material and method is
first approved by the Engineer.
9. Filling Behind Curb
After the forms are removed and the concrete has cured,
the contractor shall fill the area behind the curb with _
top soil. The area between the sidewalk and the curb or.
property line and curb, if no sidewalk exists, shall be
leveled and sloped toward the curb in a manner --
satisfactory to the property owner and/or Engineer. Fill
should be done prior to placement of base materials.

finished mechanically with approved power -driven machines,
except as herein provided. Hand -finishing will be
permitted on the transition from a crowned section to a
V-14
superelevated section without crown or curves, and on
straight line superelevation sections less than 300 feet
in length. Hand -finishing will also be permitted on that
portion of a widened pavement outside the normal pavement
width, on sections where the pavement width is not
uniform, or required monolithic widths are greater than
that of available finishing machines.
Machine -finishing of pavement shall include the use of
power -driven spreaders, power -driven vibrators, power -
driven transverse strike -off, and screed, or such
alternate equipment as may be substituted and approved by
the Engineer.
All concrete shall be consolidated by a mechanical
vibrator. As soon as the concrete has been spread between
the forms, the approved mechanical vibrator shall be
operated to consolidate the concrete and remove all
voids. Hand -manipulated vibrators shall be used for areas
not covered by the mechanical vibratory unit.
The transverse finishing machine shall first be operated
to compact and finish the pavement to the required section
and grade, without surface voids. The machine shall be
operated over each area as many times and at such
intervals as directed. At least two trips will be required
and the last trip over a given area shall be a continuous
run of not less than forty feet (401). After completion of
finishing with the transverse finishing machine a
transverse drag float may be used.
The consistency of the concrete as placed should allow the
completion of all finishing operations without the
addition of water to the surface. When field conditions
are such that additional moisture is needed for the final
concrete surface finishing operation, the required water
shall be applied to the surface by fog spray only and
shall be held to a minimum.
After finishing is complete and the concrete still
Fill
workable, the surface shall be tested for trueness with an
, approved ten foot (101) steel straightedge. The
straightedge shall be operated from the side of the
pavement, placed parallel to the pavement centerline and
passed across the slab to reveal any high spots or
depression. The straightedge shall be advanced along the
�- pavement in successive stages of not more than one-half
its length. Practically perfect contact of the
straightedge with the surface will be required, and the
pavement shall be leveled to this condition, in order to
insure conformity with the surface test required below,
i
V-15
r'
after the pavement has fully hardened. Any correction of
the surface required shall be accomplished by adding
concrete if required and by operating the longitudinal
float over the area. The surface test with the
straightedge shall then be repeated.
For one -lane pavement placement and uniform widening, the
equipment for machine -finishing of concrete pavement shall
be as directed by the Engineer but shall not exceed the
requirements of these specifications.
After completion of the straightedge operation, as soon as
construction operations permit, texture shall be applied
with one -eight inch ( ") wide metal tines with clear
spacing between the tines being not less than one -forth
inch (1/") nor more than one-half inch N") . If approved by
the Engineer, other equipment and methods may be used,
provided that a surface texture meeting the specified
requirements is obtained. The texture shall be applied
transversely. It is the intent that the average texture
depth resulting from the number of tests directed by the
Engineer be not less than 0.060 inch with a minimum
texture depth of 0.050 inch for any one test when tested
in accordance with Test Method Tex-436-A. Should the
texture depth fall below that intended, the finishing
procedures shall be revised to produce the desired
texture.
12. Proportioning of Concrete
Concrete shall be composed of Portland cement, fine
aggregate, coarse aggregate, mineral filler and/or
admixture if used and water, mixed in proportions as
approved by the Engineer in the mix design as submitted by
a commercial laboratory and in the manner set forth in
this specification. on the basis of job and laboratory
investigations of the proposed materials, the Engineer
will fix the proportions by weight of water.., coarse
aggregate, fine aggregate, cement, admixture and mineral
filler where required, in order to produce concrete of the
specified strength and workability.
13. Concrete Strength
The concrete mix will be designed with the intention of
producing a minimum average flexural strength (Modulus of
rupture) of 600 pounds per square inch and compressive
strength of 3000 psi at 7 days and/or a 28 day compressive
strength of 3,600 pounds per square inch. The coarse
aggregate factor (dry, loose volume of coarse aggregate
per unit volume of concrete) shall not exceed 0.85. Unless
V-16
71-
otherwise shown on plans the concrete shall contain not
less than six sacks of cement per cubic yard of concrete.
The water -cement ratio (net gallons of water per sack of
94 pound cement) shall not exceed 6 gallon/sack. Concrete
specimens shall be prepared, cured and tested as outlined
in Texas Department of Transportation Bulletin C-11.
14. Workability of Concrete
Concrete shall be uniformly plastic, cohesive and
workable. Workable concrete is defined as concrete which
can be placed without honeycomb and without voids in the
surface of the pavement. Workability shall be obtained
without producing a condition such that free water appears
on the surface of the slab when being finished as
specified. Where water appears on the surface of the
concrete after finishing and this condition cannot be
corrected by reasonable adjustment in the batch design,
the bleeding will be immediately corrected by one of the
following measures or a'combination of two or more of the
following listed measures:
a. Redesign of the batch
b. Addition of mineral filler to fine aggregate
C. Increase of cement content
In the event that the measures taken do not eliminate the
bleeding immediately, concrete placement operations will
be suspended, as directed by the Engineer, and will remain
suspended, until such time as additional trial mixes
demonstrate that a non -bleeding batch design has been
achieved. Failing to achieve a satisfactory laboratory
batch design the Contractor will be required to use
different materials and to submit samples thereof for
additional trial mixes and pilot beams as specified in
Texas Department of Transportation Bulletin C-11.
The mix will be designed with the intention of producing
concrete which will have a slump of one and one-half
inches when tested in accordance with Texas Department of
Transportation Bulletin C-11. The slump shall not be less
than one inch (1") nor more than three inches (3").
15. Mix Desicrn
Prior to the beginning of the concrete placement, and
thereafter before any change in source or characteristics
V-17
of any of the ingredients except mineral filler,
sufficient compression tests using various quantities of
cement and aggregates proposed for use shall be supplied
the Engineer for consideration.
Mixes will be designed and made in sufficient number to
represent a wide range of water -cement ratios. These mixes
shall comply with the requirements herein prescribed for
workability. From these preliminary tests the water -cement
ratio required to produce concrete of the specified
strength will be selected by the Engineer. The Contractor
may at any time present in writing a suggested mix design
and the Engineer will make the tests necessary to
determine its acceptability under these specification
requirements.
For mixing the concrete to be used in making the
preliminary test specimens, the Contractor shall furnish
and operate the mixer approved for use on this project. A
minimum one cubic yard batch shall be mixed or a batch of
sufficient size to afford proper mixing, whichever is the
greater. In lieu of the above mixer and procedure, the
Contractor may furnish a portable mixer of sufficient
rated capacity to mix a minimum three -sack batch; in which
case, the batch mixed for the preliminary test shall not
be less than the rated capacity of the mixer furnished.
No additional compensation will be allowed for equipment,
materials or labor involved in making preliminary test
specimens.
After the mix proportions and water -cement ratio required
to produce concrete of the specified strength have been
determined, placing of the concrete may be started.
Type I cement shall have a specified surface area within a
range of 1,600 to 1,900 square centimeters per gram. A
change in the specific surface of the cement of more than
100 square centimeters per gram may require a new mix
design.
16. Subgrade and Forms
Preparation of Subgrade.
Rolling and sprinkling shall be performed when and to the
extent directed, and the roadbed shall be completed to or
above the plane of the typical sections shown on the plans
and the lines and grades established by the Engineer.
V-18
71
®I
Drainage of the roadbed shall be maintained at all times.
Sealed or treated subgrade cut in the preparation of the
subgrade or setting of pavement forms shall be resealed or
the subgrade restored to the original conditions as
directed by the Engineer. See Section V-2.
The subgrade shall be maintained in a smooth, compacted
condition in conformity with the required section and
established grade until the pavement is placed and shall
be kept thoroughly wetted down sufficiently in advance of
placing any pavement to insure its being in a firm and
moist condition for at least two inches (2") below the
prepared surface. Sufficient subgrade shall always be
prepared in advance to insure satisfactory prosecution of
the work. No equipment or hauling shall be permitted on
the prepared subgrade, except by special permission of the
Engineer, which will be granted only in exceptional cases
and only where suitable protection in the form of two-ply
timber mats or other approved material is provided.
17. Placing and Removing Forms
The subgrade under the forms shall be firm and cut true to
grade so that each form section when placed will be firmly
in contact for its whole length and base width, and
exactly at the established grade. Forms shall be staked
with at least three (3) pins for each 10 foot (101)
section. A pin shall be placed at each side of every
joint. Form sections shall be tightly joined and keyed to
prevent relative displacement. Forms shall be cleaned and
oiled each time they are used.
Forms shall be set for a sufficient distance in advance of
the point where concrete is being placed to permit a
finished and approved subgrade length of not less than 300
feet ahead of the mixing. Conformity of the grade and
alignment of forms shall be checked immediately prior to
placing concrete, and all necessary corrections made by
the Contractor. Where any forms have been disturbed or any
subgrade becomes unstable, the forms shall be reset and
rechecked. In exceptional cases, the Engineer may require
stakes driven to the grade of the bottom of the forms.
Sufficient stability of the forms to support the equipment
operated thereon and to withstand its vibration without
springing or settlement shall be required. If forms settle
and/or deflect more than one -eighth inch (1/8") under
finishing operations, paving operations shall be stopped
and the forms shall be reset to line and grade.
Forms shall remain in place for not less than twelve (12)
hours after the concrete has been placed. They shall be
V-19
carefully removed in such a manner that little or no
damage will be done to the edge of the pavement. Any
damage resulting from this operation shall be immediately
repaired. After the forms have been removed, the ends of
all joints shall be cleaned, and any honeycombed areas
pointed up with approved mortar. Immediately after
pointing is completed, the form trench, if used, shall be
filled with earth from the shoulders in such a manner as
to shed water from rainfall or curing away from the edge
of the pavement. On completion of the required curing, the
subgrade or shoulders adjacent to the pavement shall be
graded in a condition to maintain drainage.
Allowable grade revisions shall in no way affect the
governing finishing and surface requirements of the
completed pavement.
All grade revisions shall be established by the Engineer.
No additional payment over the contract unit price will be
made for any pavement of a thickness exceeding that
required on the plans as a result of adjustment of the
forms.
I. Concrete Mixing and Placing
1. Mixing
The aggregates, mineral filler if required, cement and
water shall be measured separately, introduced into the
mixer, and mixed for a period of not less than fifty (50)
seconds nor more than ninety (90) seconds, measured from
the time the last aggregate enters the drum to the time
discharge of the concrete begins. The required water shall
be introduced into the mixing drum during the first
fifteen (15) seconds of mixing. The entire contents of the
drum shall be discharged before any materials of the
succeeding batch are introduced.
The Engineer may increase the minimum mixing time to that
necessary to produce thoroughly mixed concrete based on
inspection or appropriate uniformity tests. The mixing
time may be varied at any time necessary to produce
acceptable concrete.
If Ready -Mix concrete is used, the concrete shall be
discharged into the specified hauling equipment and
delivered to the road site. If truck agitators are used, the concrete shall be continuously agitated at not less
than one nor more than six rpm as directed by the
Engineer. �.
V-20
�I
The initial batch of concrete mixed after each time the
mixer is washed out shall be enriched by additional
mortar. The additional mortar shall be one sack of cement
and three parts of sand.
2. Placing
Any concrete not placed as herein prescribed within 30
minutes after mixing shall be rejected and disposed of as
directed except as provided otherwise herein. Except by
specific written authorization of the Engineer, concrete
shall not be placed when the temperature is below 400F,
..
the temperature being taken in the shade and away from
artificial heat.
when such permission is granted, the Contractor shall
furnish an approved enclosure, such as canvas -covered
framework, to enclose and protect all pavement so placed,
and shall maintain the temperature of the air surrounding
�^
the concrete at not less than 50OF for not less than five
(5) days. When concrete is being placed in cold weather,
other than under the conditions stated above, the
Contractor shall have available a sufficient supply of an
approved covering material to immediately protect concrete
if the air temperature falls to 320F, or below, before
concrete has been placed four (4) hours. Such protection
shall remain in place during the period the: temperature
i
continues below 320F or for a period of not more than five
(5) days. Neither salt nor other chemical admixtures shall
be added to the concrete to prevent freezing. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the quality and
strength of concrete under cold weather conditions and any
concrete damage by freezing shall be removed and replaced
r
at his expense. Concrete shall not be placed before
4'
sunrise and shall not be placed later than will permit the
finishing of the pavement during sufficient natural light.
Concrete shall be placed only on approved subgrade or sub-
base, and unless otherwise indicated on plans, the full
width of the pavement shall be constructed monolithically.
The concrete shall be deposited on the subgrade or sub-
base in such manner as to require as little: rehandling as
possible. where hand spreading is necessary, concrete
shall be distributed to the required depth by use of
shovels. The use of rakes will not be permitted. Workmen
will not be permitted to walk in the concrete with any
earth or foreign material on their boots or shoes. The
placing of concrete shall be rapid and continuous.
Concrete shall be distributed to such depth that when
consolidated and finished, the slab thickness required by
F V-21
I
plans will be obtained at all points and the surface shall
not, at .any point, be below the established grade. Special
care shall be exercised in placing and spreading concrete
against forms and at all joints to prevent the forming of
honeycombs and voids.
If in the opinion of the Engineer, the temperature, wind
and/or humidity conditions are such that the quality of
the concrete will not be adversely affected, the specified
placing time may be extended to a maximum of 45 minutes.
3. Reinforcing Steel
All reinforcing steel shall conform to ASTM A 82,
"Standard Specification for Steel Wire, Plain, for
Concrete Reinforcement". Steel wire fabric reinforcement
- shall also conform to ASTM A 185, "Standard Specification
For Steel Welded Wire Fabric, Plain, for Concrete
Reinforcement", ASTM A 496, "Standard Specification for
Steel Wire, Deformed, for Concrete Reinforcement" and ASTM
A 497, "Steel Welded Wire Fabric, Deformed for Concrete
Reinforcement". All reinforcing steel, including steel
wire fabric reinforcement, tie bars, and dowel bars shall
be accurately placed and secured in position in accordance
with specifications and with details shown on plans.
Reinforcing bars shall be securely tied together with wire
at alternate intersections, following a pattern approved
by the Engineer, and at all splices, and shall be securely
tied with wire to each dowel intersected. When wire fabric
is used, it shall be securely tied with wire together at
all splices and to each dowel intersected. The minimum
length of overlap for wire fabric shall be twelve inches
(12"). Tie bars shall be installed in the required
position by the method and device shown on plans or by
approved method and device equivalent thereto.
Wire intended for welded fabric shall be sufficiently free
of rust and drawing lubricant so as not to interfere with
electric resistance welding. Rust, surface seams, or
surface irregularities will not be cause for rejection
provided the minimum dimensions, cross -sectional area and
tensile properties of a hand wire -brushed test specimen
are not less than the requirements of ASTM A 497,
"Standard Specification for Wire Fabric, Deformed, For
Concrete Reinforcement". tightly adhered scale or rust
which resists removal by vigorous wire brushing need not
be removed except that excessive loss of section to the
reinforcement due to rust shall be cause for rejection.
Excessive loss of section shall be defined as loss of
V-22
I
section to the extent that the reinforcement will no
longer meet the physical requirements for the size and
grade of steel specified. The presence of broken welds
shall not constitute cause for rejection unless the number
of broken welds per sheet exceeds one percent (it) of the
total number of joints in a sheet, or if the material is
furnished in rolls, one percent (it) of the total number
of joints in one hundred and fifty (150) square feet of
fabric and, furthermore provided not more than one half of
(" the permissible maximum number of broken welds are located
on any one wire.
Where plans require an assembly of parts at pavement
joints, the assembly shall be completed, placed at
required location and elevation, and all parts rigidly
secured in required position by the method and devices
shown on plans. Dowel bars shall be accurately installed
in joint assemblies in accordance with plans, each
parallel to the pavement surface and to the center line of
the pavement, and shall be rigidly secured in required
position by such means (as shown on plans) that will
prevent their displacement during placing and finishing of
the concrete.
4. Joints
When the placing of concrete is stopped, a bulkhead of
sufficient cross sectional area to prevent deflection,
accurately notched to receive the load transmission
,devices or dowels if required, and shaped accurately to
the cross section of the pavement shall be provided and
installed as a back-up for the joint filler- and rigidly
secured in required position to permit accurate finishing
of the concrete up to the joint. After concrete has been
finished to the joint, formation of the joint seal space
and finishing of the joint shall be executed. The back-up
bulkhead shall remain in place until immediately prior to
the time when concrete placing is resumed, when it shall
be carefully removed in such manner that no element of the
joint assembly will be disturbed. The exposed portion of
the joint assembly shall be free of adherent concrete,
dirt or other material at the time placing of concrete is
resumed.
If necessary for proper installation of joint sealer,
excessive spalling of the joint groove shall be repaired
to the satisfaction of the Engineer in the manner which he
prescribes.
Careful workmanship shall be exercised in the construction
of all joints to insure that the concrete sections are
V-23
5.
M
7
completely separated by an open joint or by the joint
materials and to insure that the joints will be true to
the outline indicated.
Weakened Plane Joints
Weakened plane joints shall consist of transverse
contraction joints and longitudinal joints and shall be
sawed as specified on the plans or as directed by the
Engineer. When the joints are sawed, the saw shall be
power driven, shall be manufactured especially for the
purpose of sawing concrete, and shall be capable of
performing the work. Saw blades shall be designed to make
a clean smooth cut having a width and depth of cut as
detailed on the plans. Tracks adequately anchored, chalk,
string line or other approved methods shall be used to
provide true alignment of the joints. The concrete saw
shall be maintained in good operating condition and the
Contractor shall keep a stand-by power saw on the project
at all times when concrete operations are under way.
If membrane curing is
has been disturbed by
by the Contractor by
curing seal.
Contraction Joints
used, the portion of the seal which
sawing operations shall be restored
spraying the area with additional
Transverse contraction joints shall be formed or sawed
joints perpendicular to the centerline and surface of the
pavement. Where sawed joints are used, con'�'_raction joints
at approximately 10 to 15-foot intervals shall be sawed as
soon as sawing can be accomplished without damage to the
pavement and before twelve (12) hours after the concrete
has been placed, the exact time to be approved by the
Engineer. The remaining contraction joints shall be sawed
in a uniform pattern as directed by the Engineer, and
they shall be completed before uncontrolled cracking of
the pavement takes place. All joints shall be completed
before permitting traffic to use the pavement.
Longitudinal Joints
Longitudinal joints shall be sawed within two days after
construction of the pavement. Sawing shall not cause
damage to the pavement and the grooves shall be cut with a
minimum of spalling. No traffic (including construction
traffic) shall be permitted on the pavement until the
longitudinal joint is cut.
8. Joint Sealers
V-24
I After the joints in the hardened concrete ;lave been
repaired (if necessary) and cleaned to the satisfaction of
the Engineer, the joints will be filled with the W.R.
Meadows "SOF-SEAL". After the sealant is installed it will
effectively seal the joints against water, dirt and stones
„W throughout repeated cycles of expansion and contraction.
9. Asphalt Board
Premolded materials, wherever used, shall be anchored to
the concrete on one side of the joint by means of copper
wire or nails not lighter than No. 12 B&S gage. Such
r-
anchorage shall be sufficient to overcome the tendency of
the material to fall out of the joint.
10. Spreading and Finishing
All concrete pavement shall be consolidated by a
mechanical vibrator. As soon as the concrete has been
spread between the forms, the approved mechanical vibrator
shall be operated to consolidate the concrete and remove
all voids. Hand manipulated vibrators shall be used for
r..
areas not covered by the mechanical vibratory unit.
After finishing is completed and the concrete still
workable, the surface shall be tested for trueness with an
r"
approved ten foot (101)steel straightedge. The
straightedge shall be operated from the side of the
pavement, placed parallel to the pavement centering and
fi
passed across the slab to reveal any high spots or
depressions. The straightedge shall be advanced along the
pavement in successive stages of not more than one-half
its length. Practically perfect contact of the
straightedge with the surface will be required, and the
pavement shall be leveled to this condition, in order to
insure conformity with the surface test required after the
pavement has fully hardened. Any correctioia of the surface
required shall be accomplished by adding concrete if
required and by operating the longitudinal float over the
,r+
area. The surface test with the straightedge shall then be
repeated. Extra water will not be added for finishing.
r,.
l
After completion of the straightedge operation, the first
pass of the burlap drag shall be made as soon as
construction operations permit and before the water sheen
has disappeared from the surface. This shall be followed
by as many passes as required to produce the desired
texture depth. There shall be no unnecessary delays
between passes. The drag shall be wet during use and
maintained clean and free from encrusted mortar. It is the
intent that the average texture depth resulting from the
V-25
l
number of tests directed by the Engineer be not less than
0.025 inches with a minimum texture depth of 0.020 inches
for anyone test. Should the texture depth fall below that
intended, the finishing procedures shall be revised to
produce the desired texture.
The Contractor shall have available at all times hand
brooms with stiff bristles for the purpose of providing
textures when the pavement surface is in such a condition
that the burlap drag -or other methods being employed will
not provide the desired texture.
After completion of dragging and about the time the
concrete becomes hard; the edge of the slab and joints
shall be carefully finished as directed by the Engineer,
and the pavement shall be left smooth and true to line.
11. Protection of Pavement and Opening to Traffic.
The Contractor shall erect and maintain the barricades
required by plans and such other standard and approved
devices as will exclude public traffic and traffic of his
employees and agents from the newly placed pavement for
the periods of time and at locations hereinafter
prescribed by the Engineer. Portions of the roadway, or
crossings of the roadbed required to be maintained open
for use by traffic, shall not be obstructed by the above
required barricades.
The pavement shall be closed to all traffic, including
vehicles of the Contractor, until the concrete is at least
seven (7) days old. This period of closure to all traffic
may be extended if, in the opinion of the Engineer,
weather or other conditions make it advisable to provide
an extension of the time of protection.
At the end of the seven (7) day period and as long
thereafter as ordered by the Engineer, and if so desired
by the Contractor, the pavement may be opened for use by
vehicles of the Contractor provided the gross weight
(vehicle plus load) of such vehicles does not.exceed
14,000 pounds. Such opening, however shall in no manner
relieve the Contractor from his responsibilities for the
work. On those sections of the pavement thus opened to
traffic, all joints shall first be sealed, the pavement
cleaned and earth placed against the pavement edges before
permitting vehicles thereon.
After the concrete in any section is fourteen (14) days
old, or as long thereafter as ordered by the Engineer,
such section of pavement may be opened to all traffic as
V-26
required by plans or when so directed by the: Engineer. On
those sections of the pavement thus opened to traffic, all
joints shall first be sealed, the pavement cleaned, earth
placed against the pavement edges and all other work
performed as required for the safety of traffic.
When High Early Strength Concrete, resulting from the use
of Type III cement as required by plans or special
provisions, is used, the pavement may be opened to all
traffic after the concrete is seven (7) day; old, or as
long thereafter as ordered by the Engineer, subject to the
same provisions governing the opening after fourteen (14)
days as above prescribed.
Where the Contractor desires to move any equipment not
licensed for operating on public streets, on or across any
pavement opened to traffic, he shall protect: the pavement
from all damage by means of two-ply timber mats of 2 inch
(2") stock or runways of heavier material laid on a layer
of earth, all as approved by the Engineer.
The Engineer may require the opening of pavement to
traffic prior to the minimum time specified above under
conditions of emergency which in his opinion require such
action in the interest of the public. In no case shall the
Engineer order opening of the pavement to traffic within
less than seventy-two (72) hours after the .last concrete
in the section is placed. The Contractor shall remove all
obstructing materials, place earth against the pavement
edges and perform other work involved in providing for the
safety of traffic as required by the Engineer in ordering
emergency opening. Orders for emergency opening of the
pavement to traffic will be issued by the Engineer in
writing.
V-27
2. EARTH WORK
A. Subgrade Preparation for curb and gutter, streets, paving
(asphalt and concrete) alley returns, alley paving, valley
gutters, and earth work.
Description
Sub -grade preparation shall include the removal, haul and
disposal of all obstructions, including existing curbs,
gutters, paving materials, base materials, concrete slabs
and other obstructions shown on the plans or as designated
by the Engineer and all scarifying, pulverizing, wetting,
disking, blading and rolling with compactors to a depth of
at least six inches (611) on residential streets and to a
depth of twelve inches (1211) on major thoroughfares and
collector streets. Compactors will be used from the bottom
to the finished sub -grade elevation to compact the
subgrade to 95% Standard Proctor. Density according to ASTM
D 698,"Standard Test Methods for Moisture -Density
Relations of Soils and Soil -Aggregate Mixtures Using 5.5-
lb. Rammer and 12-in. Drop" in conformity to the line,
grade and sections as shown on the plans or as established
by the Engineer.
After the obstructions have been removed, or in
conjunction with such removal, the street bed and/or alley
return foundation and/or sidewalk foundation shall be
excavated and shaped in conformity with the typical
section and to the line and grades as shown on the plans
or as established by the Engineer.
All unstable or otherwise objectionable material shall be
removed from the subgrade and replaced with approved
material. The excavation shall be done in such a manner as
to require a minimum of fill to bring the subgrade to the
correct elevation. When the subgrade is too low as
initially excavated, the Contractor shall place additional
soil or caliche in layers not exceeding four inches (4")
and compact each layer by moistening and rolling.
1. Scraper Work
The utilization of a scraper for excavation and shaping of
subgrade and base is permitted with exceptions which are
determined by depths of utility lines. Unless otherwise
specified by the Engineer, the scraper shall not exceed
twenty three (23) cubic yards capacity as rated loaded
flush by the manufacturer.
V-28

'I:
7 2. Compaction
Subgrade shall be compacted to 95% Standard Proctor
Density according to ASTM D 698, "Standard Test Methods
for Moisture -Density Relations of Soil and Soil -Aggregate
Mixtures Using 5.5-lb. Rammer and 12-in. Drop" for all
improvements except thoroughfare and collector street
paving. Subgrade shall be compacted to 100% Standard
Proctor Density according to ASTM D 698, "Standard Test
Methods for Moisture -Density Relations of Soils and Soil -
Aggregate Mixtures Using 5.5-lb. Rammer and 12-in.
Drop"for thoroughfare and collector street paving.
Density tests (ASTM D 2922) will be performed and test
rolling will be observed by City inspectors.
,-
Swelling subgrade (soils with plasticity index of 20 or
more) shall be sprinkled as required to provide not less
than optimum moisture during compaction. Other subgrade
soils will be compacted at a moisture content of plus or
"-
minus 2% below optimum moisture or other moisture content
directed by the Engineer.
Test rolling will be accomplished with a twenty-five (25)
ton pneumatic tire roller or other pneumatic tire roller
approved by the Engineer. The Engineer may require up to
six (6) passes of the roller in determining the condition
of the subgrade.
Any soft or unstable areas found by test rolling will be
corrected by removing the soft or unstable material and
replacing it with suitable compacted to specified density.
The areas so corrected shall be test rolled as specified
above.
3. Intersection
Special care shall be exercised in grading street
intersections where dips are located so that the cross
profiles present a smooth riding surface and so that the
compacted base thickness will not be less than six inches
(611) or nine inches (911) as specified.The crown section
shall begin to decrease 60 feet back of the! end of radius
for residential streets. Wider street dip sections will be
blue topped as shown on the detail sheet.
4. Prosecution of the Work
The Contractor may proceed with subgrade preparation on
any schedule he may select except that, unless hindered by
factors beyond his control, not more than seven (7)
V-29
rr+

5.
S
calendar days shall elapse between the time subgrade
preparation is begun and the spreading and compacting of
the base has started. Measures shall be taken by the
contractor not ,to leave driveways impassable during the
night hours.
Excess Materials
Materials excavated in excess of that needed in fill and
backfill behind curb shall be wasted by the Contractor.
Care shall be taken by the Contractor to use only topsoil
in the backfill behind the curbs. The Contractor may
dispose of the surplus excavated material in any manner
not objectionable to the public, and it is his
responsibility to locate a suitable site for dumping the
waste excavation. In any event, the Contractor shall not
dispose of the surplus materials in any of the lake areas
either outside or within the city limits. Location of
disposal sites near any lake area must be approved by the
Engineer.
Subgrade for Alley Paving
The preparation of the subgrade for concrete alley paving
shall be done in the same manner as other subgrade
excavation which requires scarifying, wetting, disking,
blading, rolling, and compacting. The Contractor will be
required to excavate around existing improvements such as
gas meter, water meters, poles, etc. Each of these
obstructions shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor. Trees that conflict with the improvements
shall be removed by the Contractor upon approval of the
Engineer.
The Contractor shall shape to subgrade to the cross-
section shown on the plans and to the lines and grades
established by the Engineer. After the forms are set and
before the reinforcing is placed, the Contractor shall
finally shape the subgrade so that there will be a minimum
thickness of concrete of five inches (5") at the
centerline and seven and one-half inches (7-1/211) at the
outside edges. All areas where fill material is required
shall be compacted. The subgrade shall be wetted and
rolled to secure 900-. Proctor Density in the upper six
inches (611) making a firm foundation for the alley paving.
The Contractor will be required to shape the portion of
the alley outside of the limits of the concrete slab so
that all drainage in the alley will be to the invert of
V-30

M
the concrete slab. Excess excavated materials shall be
hauled to any approved location.
B. Embankment
Description
Prior to placing any embankment, all "Preparing Right -Of -
Way" and/or "Clearing and Grubbing" operations shall have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over
which the embankment is to be placed. Stump holes or other
small excavations in the limits of the embankment shall be
backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by
approved methods before commencing embankment
construction. The surface of the ground, including plowed
loosened ground, or surface roughened by small washes or
otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original
slope by blading or other methods and where indicated on
plans or required by the Engineer, the ground surface thus
prepared shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling.
Where embankments are to be placed adjacent to or over
existing roadbeds, the roadbeds slopes shall be plowed or
scarified to a depth of not less than six inches (6") and
the embankment built up in successive layers, as
hereinafter specified, to the level of the old roadbed
before its height is increased. Then, if directed, the top
of the roadbed shall be scarified and recompacted with the
next layer of the new embankment. The total depth of the
scarified and added material shall not exceed the
permissible depth of layer.
Trees, stumps, roots, vegetation, or other unsuitable
materials shall not be placed in embankment.
Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment
shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to
the finished grade of the roadbed and unless otherwise
specified each layer shall be so constructed as to provide
a uniform slope of one-fourth inch (y,,") per foot from the
center line of the roadbed to the outside.
Embankments shall be constructed to the grade established
by the Engineer and completed embankments shall correspond
to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the
plans and each section of the embankment shall correspond
to the detailed section or slopes established by the
Engineer. After completion of the roadway, it shall be
continuously maintained to its finished section and grade
until the project is accepted.
V-31
Except as otherwise specified, earth embankments shall be
constructed in successive layers for the full width of the
individual roadway cross section and in such lengths as
are best suited to the sprinkling and compaction methods
utilized.
Layers of embankment may be formed by utilizing equipment
which will spread the material as it is dumped, or they
may be formed by being spread by blading or other
acceptable methods from piles or windrows dumped from
excavating or hauling equipment in such amounts that
material is evenly distributed.
Minor quantities of rock encountered in constructing earth
embankment shall be incorporated in the specified
embankment layers, or may be placed in accordance with the
requirements for the construction of rock embankments in
the deeper fills within the limits of haul shown on the
plans, provided such placement of rock is not immediately
adjacent to structures. Also, rock may be placed in the
portions of embankments outside the limits of the
completed roadbed width where the size of the rock
prohibits their incorporation in the normal embankment
layers.
Each layer of embankment shall be uniform as to material,
density and moisture content before beginning compaction.
Where layers of unlike materials abut each other, each
layer shall be featheredged for at least 1C;0 feet or the
material shall be so mixed as to prevent abrupt changes in
the soil. No material placed in the embankment by dumping
in a pile or windrow shall be incorporated in a layer in
that position, but all such piles or windrows shall be
moved by blading or similar methods. Clods or lumps of
material shall be broken and the embankment material mixed
by blading, disking, or similar methods to the end that a
uniform material or uniform density is secured in each
layer. Water required for sprinkling to bring the material
to the moisture content necessary for maximum compaction
shall be evenly applied and it shall be the responsibility
of the Contractor to secure a uniform moisture content
throughout the layer by such methods as may be necessary.
In order to facilitate uniform wetting of the embankment
material, the Contractor shall water at the material
source if the sequence and methods used are such as not to
cause an undue waste of water. Such procedure shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer.
1. Compaction
V-32
F.
The compaction method shall require that each layer shall
be compacted to the required density by any method, type,
*� and size of equipment which will give the required
compaction. The depth of layers, prior to compaction,
shall depend upon the type of sprinkling and compaction
equipment used. Prior to and in conjunction with the
rolling operation, each layer shall be brought to the
moisture content necessary to obtain the required density
and shall be kept leveled with suitable equipment to
insure uniform compaction over the entire layer.
For each layer of earth embankment and select material, it
is the intent of this specification to provide the density
as required herein, unless otherwise shown on the plans.
The required compaction shall be 95k Standard Proctor
Density ASTM D 698.
After each section of earth embankment or select material
is complete, tests as necessary will be made by the
Engineer. If the material fails to meet the density
specified, the course shall be reworked as necessary to
obtain the specified compaction, and the compaction method
may be altered on subsequent work to obtain specified
density. Such procedure shall be determined by, and
subject to, the approval of the Engineer.
At any time, the Engineer may order proof rolling to test
the uniformity of compaction of the embankment subgrade.
All irregularities, depressions, weak or soft areas which
develop shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor.
Should the subgrade, due to any reason or cause, lose
required stability, density, or finish before the pavement
structure is placed, it shall be recompacted and
refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor.
Excessive loss of moisture in the subgrade shall be
prevented by sprinkling, sealing, or covering with a
subsequent layer of granular material. Excessive loss of
moisture shall be construed to exist when the subgrade
soil moisture content is more than 4 percent below the
optimum for compaction to Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D
698) .
At Culverts
Embankments adjacent to culverts which cannot be compacted
by use of the blading and rolling equipment: used in
compacting the adjoining sections of embankment shall be
compacted in the manner prescribed below.
V-33
The following requirements shall apply to the backfilling
of pipe culverts in addition to the pertinent portions of
the general requirements given in the preceding section.
After the bedding has been prepared and the pipe installed
as required by the pertinent specification, selected
materials from excavation or borrow shall be placed along
both sides of the pipe equally, in uniform layers not to
exceed six inches (6") in depth'(loose measurement),
wetted and thoroughly compacted so that on each side of
the pipe there shall be a berm of thoroughly compacted
materials at least as wide as the external diameter of the
pipe, except ;insofar as undisturbed material obtrudes into
this area. The method and degree of compaction shall be
same as specified above.
Filling and/or backfilling shall be continued in this
manner to the elevation of the top of the pipe. Special
care shall be taken to secure thorough compaction of the
material placed under the haunches of the pipe. All fill
or backfill below the top of the pipe shall be compacted
mechanically in the same manner and to the density
prescribed above, regardless of whether or not such
material is placed within the limits of the embankment or
roadbed.In the case of embankments, the remainder of the
fill above the top of pipe shall be placed in accordance
with the provisions for placing roadway embankment as
prescribed in the pertinent specification included in the
contract. No construction traffic will be permitted to
cross any pipe culvert until the minimum depth of fill
above the pipe as determined by the Engineer has been
placed and consolidated.
3. BASE COURSE
The base course shall consist of a minimum of six inches
(611) or nine inches (9") of .compacted approved caliche,
black base or combination of caliche and black base
material shaped in accordance with the typical cross -
sections provided in the plans and to the grades
established by the Engineer.
A. Hauling and Placing
Approved base material shall be hauled in vehicles of
uniform capacity to the site and dumped evenly so that an
adequate quantity of material will be placed to provide a >L
minimum of six inches (6")of compacted base material on
all units except major thoroughfares streets. On these
streets the Contractor will construct nine inches (9")of
compacted base material.
V-34
I
B. Processing
Processing of caliche base shall be accomplished in
mulitiple lifts of three inches (3") in compacted depth.
Each lift or layer shall be thoroughly moistened and
rolled as it is cut from the windrow. After all of the
jmaterial is cut from the windrow to the sides, it shall be
cut back to the center in lifts of three inches (3") and
thoroughly moistened and rolled again. Succeeding layers
shall then be placed similarly until the caliche base
course is completed.
Caliche base shall be compacted to 950-o Standared Proctor
Density (ASTM D 698) for all improvements except
thoroughfarestreetpaving shall be compacted to 1000-o
Standard Proctor Density.
P
'i Density tests (ASTM D 2922) will be performed and test
rolling for base will be observed by City inspectors.
Caliche base shall be compacted at a moisture content of
plus or minus 2% below optimum moisture or other moisture
content as directed by the Engineer.
The finished caliche base shall be test rolled with a
twenty-five (25) ton pneumatic tire or other approved
roller. The Engineer may require up to six (6) passes of
the roller in determining the condition of the base.
All nine inch (9") compacted caliche base shall be
accomplished in three inch (3")lifts. The caliche course
shall then be sprinkled as required and rolled with
compactors as directed until a uniform compaction of
specified "Standard Proctor Density" (ASTM D 698) is
secured. Throughout this entire operation, the shape of
the course shall be maintained by blading; and the surface
upon completion shall be smooth and in conformity with the
typical sections shown on plans and to the established
lines and grade.
Traffic may be allowed to travel on the caliche base, as
directed by the Engineer, during construction. During
this period, the caliche base shall be satisfactorily
maintained by the use of water trucks, blades, drags and
such other equipment as may be required. The base course
shall be so maintained until the wearing surface is placed
thereon. The surface shall not be placed on base course
that exceeds optimum mixture by two percent- (2%).
Processing of asphaltic base shall be as directed by the
Engineer and similar to that described under Hot Mix
V-35
Asphaltic Concrete Surface. Lift thickness will be
indicated by the Engineer or as shown on the paving plans:
Electronic screed controls will be required for placing
black base on grade. The density required will be
determined by the Engineer after material to be used has
been approved. All areas and "nests" of segregated coarse
or fine material shall be corrected or removed and
replaced with well graded material as directed by the
Engineer.
Each layer of black base may be test rolled, as directed
by the Engineer, with a twenty-five (25) ton pneumatic
tire or other approved roller requiring up to'six (6)
passes before succeeding layers are placed. A delay in
construction of a black base mat or surface.will require
test rolling and approval prior to construction of the
next layer.
C. Finishin
Description
The compacted base shall be finished and shaped
immediately preceding the application of the surface
treatment. All loose or unconsolidated material shall be
removed and the surface moistened and rolled with a steel
wheel roller.
1. Failed Density or Weak Spots in Base
The finished caliche base shall be checked for density
requirements and by test rolling. Materials that fails
the density requirement shall be reworked as necessary
until passing. The full depth of caliche base shall be
compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and
stable under test rolling. All irregularities,
depressions or weak spots which develop shall be corrected —
immediately by scarifying the areas affectd, adding
suitable material as required, reshaping and recompacting
by sprinkling and rolling. If the Contractor chooses, he
may repair the weak spot by removing the material involved
and replacing it with type "C" hot mix or asphalt
stabilized base. In this case, the surface may be applied
as soon as the,hot mix patch has been compacted and cooled
to ambient temperature.
2. Allowable Deviation in Finish
Immediately prior to placing of surfacing, the base shall
be checked and any deviation in excess of three-eirhts
inch (3/8") from the established grade or true cross
V-36
r
section shall be corrected as provided above for defects.
Longitudinally a straightedge ten feet (101)long shall be
used to detect any deviation which shall be corrected as
defects.
4. HOT MIX ASPHALTIC CONCRETE SURFACE
A. Description
This item shall consist of one and one-half inch (1-1/211)
compacted City of Lubbock (C.O.L.) Type "C" or Type "D"
hot mix asphaltic concrete surface as specified, using
approved crushed stone aggregate, constructed over a
fi compacted base. The base shall be primed and a tack coat
1 applied as required.
1. Sampling and Testing Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete for
Compaction
Hot mix asphaltic concrete will be accepted on a lot
basis. A lot will consist of 1000 tons or each days
production and will be divided into three (3) equal
sublots. Pavement density will be determined by taking
the average density for each lot, from the three (3)
sublots, the average Maximum Theoretical Density, taken
from trucks delivering hot mix asphaltic concrete to the
site. The samples will be tested in accordance with ASTM
D 2041.
Each lot of compacted pavement will be accepted, with
respect to density, when the average field density is
within the below listed specifications Four field
density determinations will be made for each lot. Cores
taken from the pavement will be used to test the field
density. The density of the cored samples will be
determined in accordance with ASTM D 2726.
Density Specifications
Based on Maximum Theoretical Density
Minimum = 92.50
Optimum = 96.O0-.
Maximum = 97.50
If the mixture produced does not have the specified
qualities, it shall be adjusted until it does. The
pavement shall be constructed on the previously completed
and approved subgrade, base, existing pavement, bituminous
surface or in the case of a bridge, on the prepared floor
V-37
slab, as herein specified and in accordance with the
details shown on the plans.

2. The asphaltic mixture may be placed when the air
temperature is above 50 degrees F and rising.
B. April 1 till November 1
1. The asphaltic mixture shall not be placed when the air
temperature is below 50 degrees F and falling.
2. The asphaltic mixture may be placed when the air
temperature is above 45 degrees F and rising.
The air temperature shall.be taken in the shade away from
artificial heat or as reported by the National Weather
Service on their hourly report (Telephone No. 762-0141).
The Engineer may use his discretion to require a cover
over the asphaltic mixture when being hauled from the --
plant to the job site.
If the temperature of a load of asphaltic concrete
measured while passing through the lay -down machine is 25
degrees F less than the mixing temperature, the load may
be rejected by the Engineer and payment will not be made
for the rejected material.
3. Preparation of Base and Areas Bordering
The compacted base upon which the hot mix asphaltic
concrete surface is to be placed shall be prepared and
cleaned, as required by the Engineer, before the prime
coat is applied. .
4. Prime Coat
The prime coat shall consist of an application of twenty-
five hundredths (0.25) gallon per square yard of MC
asphalt.
1
V-38
r
';I 5. Tack Coat
Before the asphaltic mixture is laid, the surface upon
which the tack coat is to be placed shall be cleaned
thoroughly by a power broom to the satisfaction of the
engineer. The surface shall be given a uniform application
of tack coat using asphaltic materials of this
specification. This tack coat shall be applied, as
directed by the Engineer, with approved sprayer. Where the
mixture will adhere to the surface on which it is to be
placed without the use of a tack coat, the tack coat may
be eliminated by the Engineer. All contact :surfaces of
curbs and structures and all joints shall be painted with
a thin uniform coat of the asphaltic material meeting the
requirements for tack coat. The tack coat shall be rolled
with a pneumatic tire roller as directed by the Engineer.
f 6. Transporting Asphaltic Concrete
The asphaltic mixture, prepared as specified above shall
be hauled to the work site in tight vehicles previously
cleaned of all foreign material. The dispatching of the
vehicles shall be arranged so that all material delivered
may be placed, and all rolling shall be completed during
day -light hours. The inside of the truck body may be
given a light coat of oil, lime slurry or other material
r satisfactory to the Engineer, if necessary, to prevent
mixture from adhering to the body. In cool weather or for
long hauls, canvas covers and insulating of truck bodies
may be required. Vehicles of the semi -trailer type are
prohibited.
7. Placing
Generally the asphaltic mixture shall be dumped and spread
on the approved prepared surface with the specified
spreading and finishing machine in such manner that when
properly compacted the finished pavement will be smooth,
of uniform density and will meet the requirements of the
typical cross sections and the surface tests. During the
application of,asphaltic material, care shall be taken to
prevent splattering of adjacent pavement, curb and gutter,
and structures.
The surface course shall be laid in a compacted layer with
a minimum compacted thickness of one and one-half inches
(1-1/2") .
A level up course, one-half inch (1/211) or more in
thickness, shall require the use of black base or a coarse
grade of hot mix approved by the Engineer. It shall be
V-39
F,
spread and compacted to lines and grades as established by
the Engineer.
When the asphaltic mixture is placed in a narrow strip
along the edge of an existing pavement, or used to level
up small areas of an existing pavement or placed in small
irregular areas where the use of a finishing machine is
not practical, the finishing machine may be eliminated
when authorized by the Engineer, provided i.: satisfactory
surface can be obtained by other approved methods.
Adjacent to flush curbs, gutters, liners and structures,
the surface shall be finished uniformly high so that when
compacted it will be no more than one -quarter inch (.")
above the edge of the curb and flush structure.
All joints shall present the same texture density, and
smoothness as other sections of the course. The joints
between old and new pavements or between successive day's
work shall be carefully made to insure a continuous bond
between old and new sections of the course.
The transverse edges of old pavement and, if required by
the Engineer, the successive days pavement shall be sawed
with an approved concrete saw to expose an even vertical
surface for the full thickness of the course. All contact
surfaces of previously constructed pavemenL. shall be
painted with a thin uniform coat of hot bituminous
material before the fresh mixture is placed.
8. Compacting
As directed by the Engineer, the pavement shall be
compacted thoroughly and uniformly to the required
density. The specified rollers shall be used, except as
provided in paragraph (3) below.
Rolling with the three wheel and tandem rollers shall
start longitudinally at the sides and proceed toward the
center of the pavement, overlapping on successive trips by
at least half the width of the rear wheels unless
otherwise directed by the Engineer. Alternate trips of
the roller shall be slightly different in length. On
super -elevated curves, rolling shall begin at the low side
and progress toward the high side unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer. Rolling with pneumatic roller
shall be done as directed by the Engineer. Rolling shall
be continued until required compaction is obtained and all
roller marks are eliminated. One tandem roller, two
pneumatic rollers and at least one three wheel roller, as
specified above, shall be provided for each job.
V-40
Additional rollers shall be provided if needed.The motion
of the roller shall be slow enough at all times to avoid
displacement of the mixture. If any displacement occurs,it
shall be corrected at once by the use of rakes and of
1
fresh mixture where required. The roller shall not be
allowed to stand on pavement which has not been fully
compacted. To prevent adhesion of the surface to the
roller, the wheels shall be kept thoroughly moistened with
water, but an excess of water will not be permitted. All
rollers must be in good mechanical condition. Necessary
precautions shall be taken to prevent the droppings of
gasoline,diesel, oil, grease or other foreign matter on
the pavement, either when the rollers are in operation or
when standing.
When indicated on the plans or permitted by the Engineer
in writing, the pavement may be compacted to the required
density by the use of compacting equipment other than that
specified herein.
Hand tamping. The edges of the pavement along curbs,
headers and similar structures, and all places not
accessible to the roller, or in such positions as will not
allow thorough compaction with the roller, shall be
thoroughly compacted with lightly oiled tamps.
Rolling with the trench type roller will be required on
widening areas in trenches and other limited areas where
satisfactory compaction cannot be obtained with the three
wheel and tandem rollers.
9. Surface Tests
The surface of the pavement, after compaction , shall be
smooth and true to the established line, grade and cross
section, and when tested with a ten foot (101) straight
edge placed parallel to the centerline of the roadway or
tested by other equivalent and acceptable means, except
provided herein, the maximum deviation shall not exceed
one -eighth inch (1/8") in ten feet (101), and any point
the surface not meeting this requirement shall be
corrected as directed by the Engineer. When placed on
existing surfaces, the one -eighth inch (1/8") deviation
ten feet (101)requirement may be waived by the Engineer.

withhold all estimates which have or may become due or the
V-43
r
Engineer may suspend work until his requests are complied
with.
12. Opening to Traffic
The pavement shall be opened to traffic when directed by
the Engineer. All construction traffic allowed on the
pavement shall comply with the City of Lubbock Ordinance
governing traffic on City Streets.
If the surface ravels,corrugates or shoves, it will be the
contractor's responsibility to correct this condition at
his expense.
5. CLEANUP
Within three (3) days after completion of any ;pub -Unit of
paving the Contractor shall clean, remove rubbish and
temporary structures from the street, restore in an acceptable
manner all property, both public and private, which has been _
damaged during the prosecution of the work, and leave the site
of the work in a neat and presentable condition throughout.
The cost of the "cleanup" shall be included as a part of the
cost of the various items of work involved, and no direct
compensation will be made for this work. This work shall be
done before final acceptance of the Sub -Unit will be
considered.
The cleanup shall include the sloping, filling and shaping of
the area between the curb and property line. This area shall
be filled with good top soil. When the ground behind the curb
is higher than the top of the curb, the Contractor will be
required to cut this area down to provide a smooth, even slope
between the property line and the curb.

A. Adjustment of Valves and manholes
The City Forces will place valve boxes and manholes on
finished grade after the base has been finished to grade.
The Contractor shall allow the City Forces at least three
(3) days to do this work after finishing the base and
before application of asphalt. It shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor to notify the Water and
Sewer Department forty-eight (48) hours after the curb and
gutter has been completed so that the City Forces can
properly schedule their work. In all alleys the City
Forces will set the valve boxes and manholes to grade
after the forms are in place. Any variation in this
procedure that causes expense to the City shall have the
V-44
;I
approval of the Engineer, and such expense shall be borne
by the Contractor.
B. Installation, Adjustments, and Protection of Utilities
and Traffic Installations
The plans show only approximate locations of utilities as
obtained from the various utility companies and shall not
relieve the Contractor from familiarizing himself with all
underground utilities. It is not implied that all existing
utilities are shown on the plans. The City of Lubbock does
not assume any responsibility for any utility lines which
are not shown on the plans.
The utility companies will attempt to move all utilities
that can be reasonably removed prior to beginning of
construction; however, this does not relieve the
Contractor from any damage that he might do to any utility
property. In case of any damage, the Contractor shall
immediately notify the utility company.

7. SALVAGING AND REPLACING BASE
A. Description
"Salvaging and Replacing Base" shall consist of removing
the existing base material where shown on plans, such
temporary storage as is necessary, and the replacement of
I this material on the prepared roadbed as herein specified
and in conformity with the typical sections shown on plans
and to the lines and grades as established by the engineer.
B. Construction Methods
1. Salvagincr Existincr Base
The existing base, including any bituminous mat not shown
on plans to be salvaged, shall first be cleaned of all dirt
or other objectionable material by blading, brooming or
other approved methods, then scarified to the width and
depth as may be required to provide the estimated amount of
salvaged material per station as shown on the plans.
Subgrade shall be reworked, if necessary, as directed by
the Engineer. Any bituminous mat encountered shall be
broken into particles not more than two inches in size, and
incorporated uniformly with the existing base. The material
thus salvaged shall be placed in stockpiles or windrows
until sufficient subgrade has been prepared to receive the
salvaged material; then, if the Contractor so elects, the
remaining old base material as salvaged may be placed
directly upon the prepared subgrade as directed by the
Engineer, thus eliminating the necessity of stockpiling. It
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor that all the
V-47
available material shall be salvaged and replaced and shall
be kept reasonably free of soil from the subgrade or
roadbed during the salvaging and replacing operations. When
material is windrowed or stockpiled, it shall be so placed
not to interfere with traffic, proper drainage or the
general progress of the work.
2. Preparation of Subgrade
Preparation of subgrade shall be in accordance with Section
V, Item 2 Earth Work of these specifications.
3. Replacement of Salvage Material
The salvage material shall be in accordance with Section V,
Item 2 Earth Work of these specifications.
8. SALVAGING AND STOCKPILING BASE MATERIAL
A. Description
This item shall consist of salvaging base material from
places shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer
and of stockpiling that material where shows, on the plans
or directed by the Engineer.
B. Construction Methods
Trash, wood, brush, stumps and other objectionable material
at the storage site shall be removed and disposed of as
directed by the Engineer prior to the beginning of work
required by this item. The base material, including any
asphalt mat, which may not be shown on the plans, shall be
cleaned of all dirt or other objectionable material.
Asphaltic materials shall be broken into pieces not more
than two inches in size and incorporated uniformly with the
salvaged base material. Material to be salvaged shall be
worked into stockpiles or windows and loaded by approved
equipment into approved equipment for hauling to the
stockpile site. It shall be the responsibility of the
Contractor that all the available material shall be
salvaged and kept reasonably free of soil from subgrade or
road bed during the salvaging operations. The operation
shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere with
traffic, drainage or the general requirements of the work.
After the material is deposited in the stockpile area, it
shall be, worked into a neat compact stockpile.
9. TOLERANCE IN PAVEMENT THICKNESS
V-48
F
The thickness of the pavement shall be determined by average
caliper measurement of cores tested in accordance with ASTM
r C174.
Pavement thickness shall be not less than the specified
minimum thickness.
When the measurement of any core is less than the specified
minimum thickness, the actual thickness of the pavement in
this area shall be detemined by taking additional cores at
not less than ten feet (101) intervals parallel to the
centerline in each direction from the affected location until
each direction from the affected location until in each
direction a core is found which is not deficient. Areas
found deficient in thickness shall be removed and replaced
with pavement of the minimum thickness specified.
Cores shall be obtained at the discretion of the Engineer.
10. PREFORMED PAVEMENT MARKINGS
A. Description: This work will consist of furnishing and
installing retroreflective preformed pavement markings in

conformity with the dimensions and lines shown on the
plans or established by the Engineer.
B. Materials: The preformed markings shall consist of white
or yellow films with pigments selected and blended to
conform to standard highway colors through the expected
life of the film. Glass beads shall be incorporated to
provide immediate and continuing retroflec:tion.
The size, quality and refraction index of the glass beads
shall be such that the performance requirements for the
markings shall be met. The bead adhesion shall be such
that beads are not easily removed when the material
surface is scratched with a thumbnail.
The film shall have glass bead retention qualities such
that when a two inch x six inch (211 x 611) sample is bent
over a one-half inch (1/211) diameter mandrel, with the
two inch (211) dimension perpendicular to the mandrel
V-49
7
axis, microscopic examination of the area on the mandrel
show no more than 10 percent (1010i;) of the beads with
entrapment by the binder of less than forty percent r
(40%) .
Preformed words and symbols shall conform to the
applicable shapes and sizes as outlined in the "Texas
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
Highways," dated 1980, or as modified.
The preformed markings shall be capable of being adhered
to asphalt concrete or portland cement by a pre -coated
pressure sensitive adhesive. A primer may be used to
precondition the pavement surface. The preformed marking
film shall mold itself to pavement contours by the action
of traffic. The pavement marking films also shall be
capable of application on new, dense and open graded
asphalt concrete wearing courses during the paving
operation in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. After application, the markings shall
identify proper solvents and/or primers (where necessary)
to be applied at the time of application, all equipment
•necessary for proper application, and recomemndations for
application that will assure the materials shall be
suitable for use for one (1) year after the date of
receipt.
C. Classification
The markings shall be general purpose high durability
retroflective pliant polymer film without .liner backing
for preformed longitudinal and transverse markings.
Words and symbols are required to have linear backing for
proper shipping and handling.
D. Requirements
1. Composition: The retroreflective pliant polymer
pavement marking film shall consist of a mixture of
high quality polymeric materials, pigments and glass
beads distributed throughout its base cross sectional
area, with a reflective layer of beads bonded to the top
surface.
2. Reflectance: The white and yellow films shall have
the following initial minimum reflectance values at
two -tenths (0.2) degrees and five -tenths (0.5) degrees
observation angles respectively and eighty six and zero
tenths (86.0) degrees entrance
_,angle as measured in accordance with the testing
V-50
iI
procedure of Federal Test Method Standard 370. The
photometric quantity to be measured shall be specific
luminance (SL), and
shall be expressed as millicandelas per square foot
per foot candle. The metric equivalent shall be
expressed as millicandelas per square meter- per lux.
The test distance shall be fifty feet (501) (15m) and
the
sample size shall be a 2.0 x 2.5 feet rectangle
(0.61 x 0.7m) .
The angular aperture of both the photoreceptor and
light projector shall be six (6) minutes of arc. The
reference center shall be the geometric center of
the sample, and the reference axis shall be taken
perpendicular to the test sample.
Observation

Angle 0.2 0.5 0.2 0.5
SL 550 380 410 250
3. Acid Resistance: The beads shall show resistance to
corrosion of their surface after exposure to a 10i
solution (by weight) of sulfuric acid. The 1% acid
solution shall bemadeby adding 5.7 cc of
concentrated acid into 1000 cc of distilled water.
CAUTION: always add the concentrated acid into the
water, not the reverse. The test shall be performed
as follows:
Take a 1" x 2" sample, adhere it to the bottom of a
glass tray and place just enough acid solution to
completely immerse the sample. Cover the tray with
a piece of glass to prevent evaporation and allow
the sample to be exposed for 24 hours under these
conditions. Then decant the acid solution (do not
rinse, touch, or otherwise disturb the bead
surfaces) and dry the sample while adhered to the
glass tray in a 150 degree F (66 degree C) oven for
approximately 15 minutes. Microscopic examination
(20X) shall show no more than 15% of the beads
�►
having a formation of a very distinct opaque white
(corroded) layer on their entire surface.
k•
V-51
4. Reflectively Retention: To have a good, effective
performance life, the glass beads must be strongly
bonded and not be easily removed by traffic wear.
The following test shall be employed to measure
reflectively retention:
Taber Abraser Simulation Test
Using a Taber Abraser with an H-18 wheel and
a 125 gram load, the sample shall be
inspected at 200 cycles, under a microscope,
to observe the extent and type of bead
failure.
No more than 150 of the beads shall be lost
due to popout and the predominate mode of the
failure shall be "wear down" of the beads.
5. Skid Resistance: The surface of the retroreflective
pliant polymer film shall provide an initial minimum
skid resistance value of 45 BPN when tested
according to ASTM E303.
6. Tensile Strength and Elongation: The film shall have
a minimum tensile strength of 150 pounds per square
inch of cross-section when tested according to ASTM
D 638, except that a sample 611 x 1" shall be
tested at a temperature between 70 degrees F and 80
degrees F using a jaw speed of 10 to 12 inches per
minute. The sample shall have a miniiaum elongation
of 751; at break when tested by this method.
7. Thickness: The film without adhesive shall have a
minimum thickness of 0.06".
8. Effective Performance Life: The film, when applied
according to the recommendations of the
manufacturer, shall provide a neat, durable marking
that will not flow or distort due to temperature if
the pavement surface remains stable. Although
reflectivity is reduced by wear, the pliant polymer
shall provide a cushioned, resilient substrate that
reduces bead crushing and loss. The film shall be
weather resistant and, through normal traffic wear,
shall show no fading, lifting, shrinkage,
significant tearing, roll back, or other signs of
poor adhesion, which will significantly impair the
intended usage of the marking for a period of one
year after installation.

working days remaining under contract. The Contractor will
be allowed ten (10) days in which to protest the correctness
of the statement. This protest shall be in writing, and
