contract documents. In the event the City requires a progress schedule to be submitted, and it is determined by

pending, of which the Contractor has been notified.
8. MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP
The intent of these contract documents is that only materials and workmanship of the best quality and grade will
be furnished. The fact that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete in some detail will not relieve _

set forth in the contract documents provide minimum standards of quality which the Owner believes necessary to

and all parts of the work whether the Contractor has been paid, partially paid, or not paid for such work, until the
date the City issues its certificate of completion to Contractor. The City reserves the right, after the bids have
been opened and before the contract has been awarded, to require of a bidder the following information:
(a) The experience record of the bidder showing completed jobs of a similar nature to the one covered by
the intended contract and all work in progress with bond amounts and percentage completed.
(b) A swom statement of the current financial condition of the bidder.
(c) Equipment schedule.

The Contractor must obtain a limited sales, excise and use tax permit which shall enable him to buy the
materials to be incorporated into the work without paying the tax at the time of purchase.
13. PROTECTION OF SUBSURFACE LINES AND STRUCTURES

way as to exercise due care to locate and prevent damage to all underground pipelines, utility lines, conduits or
other underground structures which might or could be damaged by Contractor during the construction of the
project contemplated by these contract documents. The City of Lubbock agrees that it will furnish Contractor the
location of all such underground lines and utilities of which it has knowledge. However, such fact shall not
relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities aforementioned. All such underground lines or structures cut or
damaged by Contractor during the prosecution of the work contemplated by this contract shall be repaired
immediately by Contractor to the satisfaction of the City of Lubbock, Texas, at Contractor's expense.
( 14. BARRICADES AND SAFETY MEASURES

necessary. The Contractor will be held responsible for all damage to the work due to failure of barricades, signs,
and lights to protect it, and when damage is incurred, the damaged portion shall be immediately removed and
replaced by Contractor at his own cost and expense. The Contractor's responsibility for maintenance of
barricades, signs, and lights shall not cease until the date of issuance to Contractor of City's certificate of
acceptance of the project.
r 15. EXPLOSIVES
l
The use of explosives will not be permitted unless written permission to do so is obtained by the Contractor from
��►►-- the City. In all cases where written permission is obtained for the use of explosives, the Contractor shall assume
t � full responsibility for all damage which may occur as a direct or indirect result of the blasting. In addition, in all
cases where explosives are authorized to be used, the Contractor shall use utmost care so as not to endanger
life or property and the Contractor shall further use only such methods as are currently utilized by persons, firms,
or corporations engaged in similar type of construction activity.

in proximity to the site of the work of Contractor's intention to use explosives, and such notice shall be given

property from injury. Such notice, however, shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for any damage

attention is further directed to the requirements of Article 5159a, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes providing for
the payment of the wage schedules above mentioned and the bidder's obligations thereunder. The inclusion of

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."

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).

provided.

32. LAWS AND ORDINANCES
4 ,
The Contractor shall at all times observe and comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and
regulations, which in any manner effect the contract or the work, and shall indemnify and save harmless the
Owner against any claims arising from the violation of any such laws, ordinances, and regulations, whether by
the Contractor or his employees. If the Contractor observes that the plans and specifications are at variance
therewith, he shall promptly notify the Owners' Representative in writing and any necessary changes shall be
adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in the work. If the Contractor performs any work knowing it to
be contrary to such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and without 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
f 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.
4 ;
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 $200.00 (TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS) 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.
r-
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 bid; 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 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 intends 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 bid 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 33 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 consider such written request and respond to _
Contractor in writing granting or rejecting the request for an extension of time to complete the project.
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. QUANTITIES 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 bids 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
i
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.
F
I 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
In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and material and the completion of all work
roll, by the Contractor, 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
bid 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.
1 41. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive evidence of the performance of the
T contract, either wholly or in part, nor shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of defective
work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the worts furnish 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.
d
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 Contractor and if found to be in order shall prepare a certificate for partial payment
r- showing as completely as practical 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 5% 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.
F, .
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 worts 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 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 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. TIME 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 Owners Representative, any demand
for arbitration shall be filed with the Owners Representative and the Owner in writing within ten (10) days after
the date of delivery to Contractor of the final decision of the Owners 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
E 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 Owners Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of
the Owners 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.
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
r' having a general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion
i 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 statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owners Representative as being correct
shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the
r
Owner as the case may be, shall pay the 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 cost 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, t
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 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
attached bid, 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 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 all other sums that may be retained
by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner 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 will be required to furnish a performance bond in accordance with Chapter 2253,
Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds
$100,000 and the successful bidder will be required to furnish a payment bond in accordance with Chapter 2253,
Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds
$25,000, 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 furnished.
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.
53. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
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,
r
or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be
sustained and bome by the Contractor at his own cost and expense.
I`
3 54. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
i
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.
t 55. CLEANING UP
The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at
t' 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.

commercial laboratory. These will be made on each. type of
concrete mix design proposed for use on this project.
Tests shall be made on 6 cylinders for each mix, 3 tested in
3 or 7 days, 3 tested at 7 or 28 days. Additional tests
shall be furnished if material source is changed or if

construction tests have been completed.
Tests of the aggregates and the concrete will be made by the
Engineer during construction to determine conformity with
the specifications. Test cylinders will be made in
accordance with ASTM C-31. The specimens shall be cured
under standard moisture and temperature conditions in
accordance with requirements of ASTM C-31.
Strength tests shall be made, in general, for each day's
run', or for each 50 cubic yards of concrete if a day's run

specimens, except that, if one specimen in the test shows
manifest evidence of improper sampling, molding, or testing,
M-2
r
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.
Concrete conforming to these specifications may be "Ready

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 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 coat. During the application of
tack coat, care shall be taken to prevent splattering of
adjacent pavement, curb & gutter and structures. The
tack coat shall be rolled with a pneumatic tire roller
when directed by the Engineer.
!~ M-21
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

the Engineer. During the application of asphaltic
material, care shall be taken to prevent splattering of
adjacent pavement, curb and gutter and structures.
The mixture shall be spread and compacted in layers or
lifts as specified on the plans or as directed by the
Engineer. The sequence of compacting shall be such that
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.
1.As directed by the Engineer, the asphalt stabilized
base shall be compacted thoroughly and uniformly with J`
the specified rollers. In lieu of the rolling
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

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
f•+
pneumatic -tire roller shall be done as directed by the
+t
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.
3. Hand Tambing
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
thoroughly compacted with lightly oiled tamps.
J . Surface Fini-sh
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

D. Laboratory Control
If the Contractor or supplier wishes to use a material or -.
location not previously approved by the City of Lubbock, he
will be required to request approval in writing of the
material not less than 60 days prior to anticipated use of
the material. The City of Lubbock laboratory test results
shall be the sole consideration for approval of materials,
mix designs, adequacy of procedures, etc.. The results of
such testing shall be evaluated and final approval given by
the City Engineer.
The City of Lubbock will utilize its own testing laboratory
to monitor the plant mixing for Black Base and Hot Mix.
This laboratory control will be provided by the City of
Lubbock. A representative of the City Engineer will be at
the plant with full authority to control the mixing ".
operation.
"In those instances where irregularities occur and the limits of the specification are exceeded for aggregate, black base,
or hot mix, appropriate corrections will be required.
E. Tolerances
The Engineer will designate the exact grading of the
aggregate and asphalt content to be used in the mixture (Job
Mix Formula). The paving mixture produced shall not vary
from the designated grading and asphalt content by more than
the tolerances allowed herein and shall remain within the
limitation of the master grading specified. The respective
M-32
tolerances, based on the percent by weight of the mixture,
are listed as follows:
Material t By Wt. +
Aggregate passing No. 4 sieve
or larger 4 percent
Aggregate passing Nos. 8,16,30,
50 sieves 3 percent
Aggregate passing Nos. 100 & 200
sieves 2 percent.
Bitumen 0.25 percent
1. Samples of the mixture when tested in accordance with
ASTM D-2172 shall not vary from the grading proportions
of the aggregate and the asphalt content designated by
the Engineer by more than the respective tolerance
specified above.
During construction, if grading or asphalt content
exceeds the tolerances stated herein, production will be
discontinued until such time as the Hot -Mix Asphaltic
Concrete mixture has been corrected and subsequent
grading and extraction tests indicate results within the
tolerance stated herein. All Hot- Mix Asphaltic Concrete
mixture so constructed, which exceeds the tolerances as
stated herein, shall be removed and replaced at no cost
to the Owner.

and stability, as determined by the Engineer, when tested
in accordance with these specifications and applicable
ASTM procedures.
Samples of the completed pavement shall be removed from
locations designated by the Engineer to enable him to
determine the composition, compaction, and density of the
pavement.' Samples for each day or fraction thereof shall
be taken by City personnel. The Contractor shall replace
the pavement removed from core holes at no cost to the
City. if the pavement is deficient in composition,
compaction, or thickness, satisfactory correction shall
be made as directed by the Engineer.
Tests on Marshall specimens shall be made twice daily or
as directed by the Engineer to retain job control. The
mixture shall comply with the requirements of Table (2)
above when tested in accordance with the Marshall method
procedures contained in Chapter III of the Asphalt
Institute's Manual Series No. 2 (MS-2), current addition.
If the laboratory stability and/or field tests of the
mixture produced has a value lower than that specified,
and in the opinion of the Engineer is not due to change
in source or. quality of materials, production may
proceed, and the mix shall be changed until the
laboratory/field tests equals or exceeds the specified
values. If there is, in the opinion of the Engineer, an
apparent change in any material from that used in the
design mixtures, production will be discontinued until a
new design mixture is determined by trial mixes.
11. SILO STORAGE
A silo storage system may be used during the normal day's
operation. The mixture coming out of the silo storage must be
of equal quality and temperature to that coming out of the
mixing. plant. Any operation that has tendency to segregate _
the mixture' or fails to maintain a thorough_ and uniform
mixture and temperature shall not be used. If. any load of
mixture coming out of the silo storage system fails to meet
the asphalt specifications or gradation requirements, then the
total contents of the silo storage system shall be condemned.

(2) rail steel bars for concrete reinforcement,
conforming to the requirements of ASTM A-616 Grade 60
(Bars produced by piling method will not be accepted).
Where prefabricated wire mats are specified or permitted,
the wire shall be cold worked steel wire conforming to
the requirements of ASTM A-496, except that steel shall
be made by open-hearth, electric-furnace,.or basic oxygen
processes. The prefabricated wire mats shall conform to
the requirements of ASTM A-497. Mats that have been bent
or wires dislocated or parted during shipping or project
handling shall be realigned to within one-half inch of
the original horizontal plane of the mat. Mats with any
portion of the wires out of vertical alignment more than

one-half inch after realignment and/or wires dislocated
or mutilated so that, in the opinion of the Engineer,
they do not represent the original mat, shall be
rejected. The mats may be clamped or wired so that the
mats will retain the horizontal and vertical alignment as
specified by the plans or as approved by the Engineer.
Deformed wire may be used for tie bars and load transfer
bars that require bending.
when fabricated steel bar or rod mats are specified, the
mats shall meet the requirements of ASTM A-184.
All concrete placed for pavement shall be consolidated by
approved mechanical vibrators designed to vibrate the
concrete internally. The internal type will be used for
full -depth placement. Vibratory members shall extend
across the pavement practically to, but shall not come in
contact with the side forms. Mechanically operated
vibrators shall be operated in such a manner as to not
interfere with the transverse or longitudinal joints.
Separate vibratory units shall be operated at
sufficiently close intervals to provide uniform vibration
and consolidation to the entire width of the pavement.
The frequency' in air of the internal spud type vibratory
units shall be not less than 8,000 cycles per minute and
not less than 5,000 cycles per minute for tube types and
►� the method of operation shall be as directed by the
Engineer. The Contractor shall have a satisfactory
tachometer available for checking the vibratory elements.
The pavement vibrators shall not be used to level or
spread the concrete but shall be used only for purposes
of consolidation. The vibrators will not be operated
where the surface of the concrete, as spread, is below
the elevation of the finished surface of the pavement,
except for the first lift of concrete where the double
strike off method of placement is employed, and the
vibrators shall not be operated for more than 15 seconds
while the machine upon which they are installed is
standing still.
Approved hand. manipulated mechanical vibrators shall be
furnished in the number required for provision of proper
consolidation of the concrete along forms, at joints and
in areas not covered by mechanically controlled
vibrators. These vibrators shall be sufficiently rigid
to insure control of the operation position of the
vibrating head.
r Complete and satisfactory consolidation of the concrete
pavement is a most important requirement of this
t
P" D-13
specification. Cores taken shall be .carefully examined
for voids, honeycombing or other evidence of incomplete
consolidation. If such evidence is present, changes in
the consolidation procedures and/or equipment will be
made to insure satisfactory consolidation.
11. Finishing
Machine -Finishing. All concrete pavement shall be
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 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 intervalsas 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 40 feet. 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 r
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
workable, the surface shall be tested ,for.trueness with
an approved 10-foot steel straightedge. The straightedge
D-14
r"*
i
' 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.
P,, 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, after the pavement
j` 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
r. applied with 1/8-inch wide metal tines with clear spacing
between the tines being not less than 1/4 inch nor more
than 1/2 inch. If approved by the Engineer, other
equipment and methods may be used, provided that a
surface texture meeting the specified requirements is
s obtained. The texture shall be applied transversely. It
is the intent that the average texture depth resulting
r- 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.
•00•i6. • a - -
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
D-15
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 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 6.0
gallon/sack. Concrete specimens shall be prepared, cured
and tested as outlined in TxDOT Bulletin C-11.
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 TxDOT Bulletin C-11.
The mix will be designed with the 'intention of producing
concrete which will have a slump of 1-1/2 inches when
tested in accordance with TxDOT Bulletin C-11. The slump
shall not be less than 1 inch nor more than 3 inches.
15. Mix Design
Prior to the beginning. of the concrete placement, and
thereafter before any change in source or characteristics
of any of the ingredients except mineral filler,
D-16
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.
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.
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
D-17
J
17
or the subgrade restored to the original conditions as
directed by the Engineer. See Section D-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 2 inches 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.
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 pins for each 10-foot 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 over 1/8 inch
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 12 hours
after the concrete has been placed. They shall be
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
D-18
i
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.
k
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.
1. Mixing
r►
t
'.
The aggregates, mineral filler if required, cement and
water shall be measured separately, introduced into the
rt•
mixer, and mixed for a period of not less than 50 seconds
x
nor more than 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 15 seconds of
mixing. The entire contents of the drum shall be
discharged before any materials of the succeeding batch
r rft,
are introduced.
The Engineer may increase the minimum mixing time to that
r.,
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
t
acceptable concrete.
If Ready -Mix concrete is used, the concrete shall be
discharged into the -specified hauling equipment and
ri
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.
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.
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
?" D-l9
� J
specificwrittenauthorization 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 5
days. When concrete is being placed in cold weather,
other than under the conditions statedabove, 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 4 hours. Such protection
shall remain in. place during the period the temperature
continues below 320F or for a period of not more than 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 at his expense. Concrete shall not be placed
before 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
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, including steel wire fabric
! reinforcement, tie bars, and dowel, bars shall be
accurately placed and secured in position in accordance
with details shown on plans. Reinforcing bars shall be
securely wired together at alternate intersections,
following a pattern approved by the Engineer, and at all
splices,. and shall be securely wired to each dowel
intersected. When wire fabric is used, it shall be
securely wired together at all splices and to each dowel
intersected. Tie bars shall be installed in the required
T" position by the method and device shown on plans or by
approved method and device equivalent thereto.
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 section to the extent
that the reinforcement will no longer meet the physical
requirements for the size and grade of steel specified.
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.
When the placing of concrete is stopped, a bulkhead of
sufficient cross sectional area to prevent deflection,
accurately notched to receive the load transmission
d
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
d
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.
D-21
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 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 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
perf orming ' 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 used, the portion of the seal which
has been disturbed by sawing operations shall be restored
by the Contractor by spraying the area with additional
curing seal.
., .�MOTM
Transverse contraction joints shall be formed or sawed
joints perpendicular to the centerline and surface of the
pavement. Where sawed joints are used, contraction
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 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. AU joints shall
be `completed before permitting traffic to use the
pavement.

After the joints in the hardened concrete have been
repaired (if necessary) and the sides of the joint power
brushed or sandblasted then blown out with compressed air
and/or mechanically cleaned out to the satisfaction of
the Engineer, the approved backer rod shall be wheeled -in
to the proper depth as recommended by the manufacturer
and the remainder of the joint will be filled with the
approved sealant to the dimensions shown on the plans.
After the sealant is installed it shall effectively seal
the joints against water, dirt and stones throughout
repeated cycles of expansion and contraction.
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
anchorage shall be sufficient to overcome the tendency of
the material to fall out of the joint.

After finishing is completed and the concrete still
workable, the surface shall be tested for trueness with
an approved 10-foot steel straightedge. The straightedge
shall be operated from the side of the pavement, placed
parallel to the pavement centering and 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 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. Extra water will NOT be added for finishing.
D-23
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 number of tests directed by the Engineer be not less
than 0.025 inches with a minimum texture depth of 0.020
inches for 'any one 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.
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 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 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
D-24
i
` cleaned and earth placed against the pavement edges
before permitting vehicles thereon.
After the concrete in any section is 14 days old, or as
long thereafter as ordered by the Engineer, such section
of pavement may be opened to all traffic as 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 7 days old, or as long
thereafter as ordered by the Engineer, subject to the
same provisions governing the opening after 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 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 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.

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 (411) inches and
compact each layer by moistening and rolling..
The utilization of a scraper for.excavation and shaping of

Any soft or unstable areas found by test rolling will be
corrected by removing the soft or unstable material and
replacing it with suitable material compacted to specified
density. The areas so corrected shall be test rolled as
specified above.
RIMMO - - .,
Special care shall be exercised in grading street
d— 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 (611) or
r., nine (911). Crown section shall begin to decrease 60 feet
back of end of radius for residential streets. Wider street
dips will be blue topped as shown on the detail sheet.
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) 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.
5.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
r"
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.
6. Subarade 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.
C
?^ D-27
The Contractor shall shapetosubgrade 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 (511) inches 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 90% Proctor
Density in the upper six (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 the concrete
slab. Excess excavated materials shall be hauled to any
approved location.
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 (611) inches 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 a
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
D-28
i
r
slope of 1/4" inch 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.
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
r. 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.
r" 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 100 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
r.
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
r`
I
wetting
of the embankment material, the Contractor shall
D-29
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.
."I • •
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 95% 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. (Also
see Section D, Item 2.A.2. Co=action.)
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.

The following requirements shall apply to the backfilling
of pipe culverts in addition to.the pertinent portions of
E
the general requirements given in the preceding section.
After the bedding has been prepared and the pipe
installed as required by the pertinent specifications,
selected materials from excavation or borrow shall be
placed along both sides of the pipe equally, in uniform
layers not to exceed six (611) inches 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.
The base course shall consist of a minimum of six (611) or nine
(911) inches of compacted approved cal.iche, 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.
RVET. a RNA u. 0 RAW 0 k
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
io' minimum of six (611) inches of compacted base material on all
units except major thoroughfares streets. On these streets
the Contractor will construct nine (911) inches of compacted
base material.
"" D-31
Processing of caliche base shall be accomplished in multiple
lifts of three (311) inches in compacted depth. Each lift or
layer shall be thoroughly moistened and rolled as it is cut
from the windrow. After all of the material is cut from the
windrow to the sides, it shall be cut back to the center in
lifts of three (311) inches 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 95k Standard. Proctor
Density (ASTM D-698) for all improvements except
thoroughfare street paving shall be compacted to look
Standard Proctor Density.
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 2k optimum moisture or other moisture content
directed by the Engineer.
The finished caliche base shall be test rolled with a 25 ton
pneumatic tire or other approved roller. The Engineer may
require up to six passes of the roller in determining the
condition of the base.
All nine (911) inch compacted caliche base shall be
accomplished in three (311) inch 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" 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 (2k).
Processing of asphaltic base shall be as directed by the
Engineer and similar to that described under Hot Mix
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

r
r
been approved. All areas and "nests" of segregated coarse
or fine material shall be corrected or removed and replaced
r" 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 25 ton pneumatic tire or other approved
roller requiring up to six 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.FINISHING
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.
�-+
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
r„
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 affected,
i
adding suitable material as required, reshaping and
recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. If the
,..
Contractor chooses, he may repair the weak spot by
f
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.
Immediately prior to placing of surfacing, the base shall
be checked and any deviation in excess of three -eighths
(3/8) inch from the established grade or true cross
section shall be corrected as provided above for defects.
Longitudinally a straightedge 10 feet long shall be used
to detect any deviation which shall be corrected as
defects.
Flo This item shall consist of 1-1/2" compacted C.O.L. Type "C" or
Type "D" hot mix asphaltic concrete surface, using approved
f D-33
crushed stone aggregate, constructed over a compacted base.
The base shall be primed and a tack coat applied as required.
A. 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 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 MaximumTheoretical Density
Minimum = 92.51;
Optimum. = 96.0%
Maximum = 9 7 ..5
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
slab, as herein specified and in accordance with the details

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.
4. 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.
u— •-
The prime coat shall consist of an application of 0.25
gallons per square yard of MC asphalt.
6. Tack Coat
r Before the asphaltic mixture is laid, the surface upon
s 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 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.
,�" D-35
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
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.
The asphaltic mixture shall be spread on the approved
prepared surface with a spreading and finishing machine
in such a manner that when properly compacted the
finished pavement shall 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 machine laid in a compacted
layer with a minimum compacted thickness of one and one-
half inches (1-1/211).
A level up course, 1/2" 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 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 a 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 slightly 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

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
r
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
r
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.
r..
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
r
and of 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 diesel, gasoline, 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
r-
density by the use. of compacting equipment other than
j
that specified herein.
�., Hand tamping. The edges of the pavement along curbs,
headers and similar structures, and all places not
T' D-37
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:
10. 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 10 foot straight edge
placed parallel to the centerline of the roadway or
tested by other equivalent and acceptable means, except
as provided herein, the maximum deviation., shall not
exceed 1/8 inch in 10 feet, and any point in the surface
not meeting this requirement shall be corrected as
directed by the Engineer. When. placed on existing
surfaces, the 1/8 inch deviation in 10 feet requirement
may be waived by the Engineer.

cannot occur and the required lines and grade will be
obtained without resorting to hand finishing.
Dumping of the asphaltic mixture in a windrow and then
placing the mixture in the finishing machine with loading
equipment will be approved by the Engineer, provided that
the loading equipment is constructed and operated in such
a manner that substantially all of the mixture deposited
on the roadbed is picked up and placed in the finishing,
machine without contamination by foreign material of the
mixture. The loading equipment will be so designed and
operated that the finishing machine being loaded will
obtain the required line, grade and surface without
resorting to hand finishing. Any operation of the
loading equipment resulting in the accumulation and
subsequent shedding of this accumulated material into the
asphaltic mixture will not be permitted.
Forms. The use of forms will not be required except
where necessary to support the edges of the pavement
during rolling. If the pavement will stand rolling
without undue movement, binder twine or small rope may be
used to align the edges.

All equipment shall be maintained in good repair and
operating condition and shall be approved by the
Engineer.
The Contractor shall furnish such suitable machinery,
equipment and construction forces as may be necessary, in
the opinion of the Engineer, for the proper prosecution
of the work, and failure to do so may cause the Engineer
to withhold all estimates which have or may become due or
the Engineer may suspend work until his requests are
complied with.
The pavement shall be opened to traffic when directed by
the Engineer. All construction traffic allowed on the
pavement shall comply with City Ordinance governing
traffic on City Streets.
If the surface ravels, corrugates or shoves, it will be

r 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 3 days
r. 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 48
hours after 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
f•. procedure that causes expense to the City shall have the
P approval of the Engineer, and such expense shall be borne by
the Contractor.
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
r. 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.
r
The utility companies will attempt to move all utilities

,Sequence:. The sequence of utility adjustments has been
mutually agreed upon by the utility companies in the City of
Lubbock and will attempt to follow the following schedule:
Plans for contract project will be delivered to all utility
companies two weeks prior to opening bids. As a general
rule, these projects will have been staked.
The utility companies will relocate all items- necessary,
locate and flag all meters, valves, manholes, underground
cables, etc., prior to the date the Contractor is to begin
construction.
After the subgrade is completed on alley paving projects,
and after the base is completed on all street paving
projects, all manholes, valve boxes, etc., will be set to
finished grade by the utility companies. The site shall be
left in a clean condition.
On all projects, including private contracts, the Contractor
shall exercise care not to damage any sanitary sewer pipe or
manholes, storm sewer pipe or manholes, or telephone cable
or manholes, water or gas lines, valve boxes , meter boxes,
nor any other pipe or utility. If necessary, the Contractor
shall call the department or company concerned and make
arrangements for adjusting the manhole., valve box, meter
box, or other utility to grade. On all projects for which
he is awarded a contract, the Contractor will be responsible
during the construction period for any damages to manholes,
valve boxes, meter boxes and other utilities.
Should any item be damaged during the process of
construction, the Contractor is to notify the affected
utility company and the City inspector. The utility company
will immediately repair the damaged item. Any bills for
damage will be sent through the Department of Engineering.
The Department of Engineering will process all bills and fix
responsibility for damage and govern the extent of repair.
Private contracts do not have plans, but utility companies
will be furnished cut sheets and notified of impending
construction by letter. Other items such as adjustments,
damages, etc. will be handled the same as for bid let
projects.
The utility companies will schedule their work with the
Contractor. When utility adjustments commence before the
D-42
y
contract is awarded, it will be the responsibility of the
r-
utility company to barricade the project.
Unless otherwise agreed upon by the City and the utility
companies involved, the sequence of installation of
underground utilities shall be as follows:
ut- iI itv Sequence
Sewer First
Electric (Primary)
Electric (Secondary)
Telephone
T.V. Cable
Water
Gas

Traffic Engineering Eighth
On all projects, including private contracts, the Contractor
shall not place curb and gutter or base material at points
where underground utilities cross or propose to cross until
such utilities have been adjusted or installed.
"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 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.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
r 1. Salvaging Existing Base
The existing base, including any bituminous mat not shown
on plans to be salvaged, shall first be cleaned of all
I 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
�' D-43
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 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 so as not to interfere with traffic, proper
drainage or the general progress of the work.
Preparation of subgrade shall be in accordance with
Section D, Item 2 Earth Work of these specifications.
The salvage material shall be in accordance with Section
D, Item 2 Earth Work.

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 windrows and loaded,byapproved
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
D-44
C
r
material is deposited in the stockpile area, it shall be
worked into a neat compact stockpile.
9. TOLERANCE IN PAVEMENT THICKNESS
The thickness of the pavement shall be determined by average
caliper measurement of cores tested in accordance with ASTM C-
174.
Pavement thickness shall be not less than .the specified
i minimum thickness.
r When the measurement of any core is less than the specified
minimum thickness, the actual thickness of the pavement in
this area shall be determined by taking additional cores at
�,. not less than 10-foot intervals parallel to the centerline in
each direction from the affected location until 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.

inspectors shall determine the quantities of work done as of that day
for the purposes of assembling an estimate of partial payment. - The
Owner's Representative shall review said estimate of partial payment
and if found to be in order shall prepare a request for partial
payment. The estimate shall show, as completely as practical, the
total value of the work done by the Contractor up to and including
the day shown on the estimate.

contract shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty
materials or workmanship, and he shall speedily remedy defects due
thereto within 30 calendar days and pay for any damage to other work
resulting therefrom, which shall appear within a period of one (1)
year from date of final acceptance of the project. The Owner or the _
Owner's Representative shall give notice of observed defects with
reasonable promptness.
An extension of time will NOT be allowed on this project. The
project completion will be based on working days allowed instead of
calendar days allowed.

A working day is defined as a calendar day, not including Saturdays,
�. Sundays, or designated City of Lubbock holidays, in which weather or
other conditions not under the control of the Contractor shall permit
the performance of the principal unit of work underway for a
continuous period of not less than seven (7) hours between 7:00 a.m.
f and 6:00 p.m. For every Saturday or designated City of Lubbock
holiday on which the Contractor chooses and has the proper
authorization to work, one day shall be charged against the contract
r- working time when weather conditions will permit seven (7) hours of
work as delineated above. Work on Sunday shall not be permitted
except in cases of extreme emergency and then only with the written
permission of the Engineer. If Sunday work is permitted, working
r time shall be charged on the same basis as week days.
The Contractor shall complete the work within the number of working
PM days stated in these documents. For the purpose of computation,
working days shall be considered to begin with the effective date
stated in the "Notice to Proceed".
r
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a monthly statement showing
number of working days charged during the month, total number of
working days allowed in contract, and the 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 shall show cause. Not filing a protest
within the allowed ten (10) days for any statement will indicate the
Contractor's approval of the time charges as shown on that time
statement and future consideration of that statement will not be.
permitted. If the satisfactory completion of the contract shall
require unforeseen work or work and materials in greater amounts than
these set forth in the contract, then additional working days or
suspension of time charge will be allowed the Contractor equal to the
time which, in the opinion of the Engineer, the work as a whole is
delayed. If the Contractor fails to complete the contract in the
working days specified, the stated liquidated damages will be charged
for each working day thereafter.
All salvaged material from this project shall be hauled, by the
Contractor, to City stockpile at 600 Municipal Drive, 84th and Avenue
`P' or 98th and Avenue 'Q,, as directed by the Engineer. There may
other locations around the City at which material may be needed, so
the Contractor will want to contact the Street Department numbers
below, ahead of time, before hauling, to see if a closer location
exists where the material can be stockpiled or used. All asphaltic
materials shall be broken into pieces not more than 2 inches (2") in
size. Any non -asphaltic material shall be kept separated from the
asphaltic materials and stockpiled separately. All asphalts and base
materials shall be cleaned of all dirt or other objectionable
material. Any excess subgrade material and/or topsoil, not used for
dressing, shall also be kept separate and stockpiled at one of the
above locations as directed by the Street Department. Contact:
