PART 3— EXECUTION

3.01 INSTALLERS      

Installer shall be a certified installer of Authorized RESINPAVE™ Distributor.

3.02   EXAMINATION

A.  Verification of General Conditions: Examine site and verify that conditions are suitable to receive work and that no defects or errors are present which would cause defective installation of products or cause latent defects in workmanship and function.

B.  Sub grade: Review sub grade to verify that it has been graded to the correct grades and compacted as required for correct installation of the aggregate base.

C.  Unsuitable conditions: Before proceeding with work, notify the General Manager in writing of unsuitable conditions and conflicts.

3.03  PREPARATION

A.  Protection of Existing Conditions:

1. Use every possible precaution to prevent damage to existing conditions to remain such as structures, utilities, irrigation systems, plant materials and paving on or adjacent to the site of the work.
2. Provide barricades, fences or other barriers as necessary to protect existing conditions to remain from damage during construction.
3. Do not store materials or equipment, permit burning, or operate or park equipment under the branches of existing plants to remain.
4. Submit written notification of conditions damaged during construction to the General Manager/Contractor immediately.

B. Sub grade Preparation:

1. Refer to Geotechnical Report for sub grade preparation prior to placement of fill or aggregate base.
2. Grade sub grade with uniform slope between points where elevations are given.
3. Use equipment of proper size and appropriate type to achieve grades required.
4. Grade sub grade surface to within 0.05 foot of finish grade minus aggregate base and aggregate paving thickness.
5. Fill and compact any depressions and remove loose material to finish true to line and grade, presenting a smooth, compacted and unyielding surface, except where indicated otherwise.
6. Remove debris, loose dirt and other extraneous materials.
7. Important: It is at this time all proper drainage design elements should be in place. Ditches, drains, and drain pipes should be installed to assure protection of the pavement and base from cross flows of water. All water flow should be directed off of and away from the pavement and base.

3.04  SURVEY REQUIREMENTS

A.  Lines and Levels: Establish lines and levels. Locate and lay out by instrumentation and similar appropriate means for aggregate paving finish grades.

B.  Staking: Provide a sufficient quantity of grade stakes as required to provide aggregate paving with smooth finish grades and positive drainage.

3.05  AGGREGATE BASE

A.   Placement and Compaction: Meet placement, compaction, maintenance and finished surface requirements using the same standards as local codes and practices for asphalt paving. The base must be firm and unyielding.

B.   Tests will be performed periodically for compliance.

3.06   APPLICATION OF PRIME COAT      

Prime Coat Application:

1. Base must be dry before prime coat application.
2. Apply prime coat to aggregate base surface at a rate of 0.1 gallon per square yard.
3. Provide a field-verifiable application method, which will reliably place prime coat material at controlled rates with uniform pressure and with an allowable variation from the specified rate not to exceed 0.02 gallon per square yard.

3.07  INSTALLATION OF STABILIZED AGGREGATE PAVING

A.  Placement of RESINPAVE™ Mix:

1. Place mix after prime coat has been applied.
2. Do not place mix without enough time to complete placement and initial compaction during daylight hours.
3. Place mix via a single, continuous operation using a self-propelled mechanized spreading and finishing machine designed specifically for that purpose, equipped with a screen or strike-off assembly capable of being accurately regulated and adjusted to a uniform depth to provide a structural section of a minimum of 2 inches compacted thickness upon completion of final compaction.
4. If slope of surfaces to be paved exceed 4 percent, place material in an uphill direction unless otherwise approved by the General Manager.

B.   Initial Compaction:

1. Begin initial compaction as soon after mix placement as mix will bear roller without undue displacement.
2. If mix will not support compaction equipment due to excess moisture delay initial compaction until mix achieves adequate stability to support compaction equipment.
3. Perform initial breakdown compaction with self-propelled steel drum rollers that can be operated in static or vibratory mode.
4. Whether using static or vibratory rollers when working on grades 4 percent or steeper, operate equipment at slow speeds and with the drive wheel forward to the uphill direction of work progress.
5. Determine the compaction protocol with the assistance of the RESINPAVE™ mix supplier. Generally, no more than two passes are required for initial compaction. Warning: If the pavement begins to develop stress cracks, the pavement is being over compacted and further compaction should be halted.
6. Test paving surface for slope and smoothness after initial rolling, and correct deficiencies immediately so that finished surface will meet specified tolerances and requirements for smoothness.
7. Furnish and maintain at site clean 10-foot long aluminum straight-edge having blades or box or box-girder section with a flat bottom reinforced to ensure rigidity and accuracy, with handle to facilitate movement on pavement, available for use by the General Manager.

C.  Final Compaction:

1. Use a pneumatic roller such as the Leeboy 420 Pneumatic Roller or a 1-ton steel drum roller.
2. Begin final compaction as soon as possible after initial compaction has been completed.
3. The purpose of final compaction is to eliminate roller marks from the initial compaction step and to make the RESINPAVE™ surface aesthetically appealing. The minimum number of passes possible to achieve these goals is specified.

D.  Edging Materials:

1. Edging materials should be in place prior to the beginning of paving placement. The RESINPAVE™ compacted surface should be as high as but no more than 1/8" above the edging material to assure proper drainage.
2. In the absence of edging materials, the RESINPAVE edges should be compacted and backfilled with dirt to grade to assure proper drainage.

3.08   SEAL COAT

A.  Application:

1. Surface must be swept or water flushed free from mud, dust, or dirt prior to seal coat application. Caution must be paid to protecting surface from damage during sweeping or water flushing.
2. Protect pavement surface against track on of dirt and mud until seal coat application has been completed.
3. Apply 2 seal coats, each to refusal, with 3 hours between each coat to surface of completed pavement not earlier than 24 hours and not later than 7 days following final compaction.
4. Apply each seal coat at rate of 0.005-0.05 gallon of RESINPAVE™ - Resin Modified Emulsion per square yard. Dilute ROAD OYL® - Resin Modified Emulsion 1:1 to 5:1 with water prior to application.
5. Provide verifiable application method, which will reliably place the product at controlled rates with uniform pressure and with an allowable variation from specified rate not to exceed 0.02 gallon per square yard.
6. Make applications in multiple passes as necessary to avoid loss of the material from run-off.

B.  Curing:

1. Allow seal-coated surface to dry for 48 hours prior to allowing traffic on pavement.
2. Verify seal coat is adequately cured before allowing traffic on seal-coated surface. Wind, temperature, humidity, and pavement surface absorbency affect drying and curing rates.

3.09  TOLERANCES

A.  In-Place Compacted Thickness:

1. Aggregate Base Course: Maximum 1/2 inch plus, minus 0 inch.
2. Aggregate Paving Surface Course: Maximum 3/16 inch plus, minus 0 inch.

3.10  REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PAVEMENT

A.   Areas to Be Replaced:

1. Replace full depth of paving thickness in paving mixes that are contaminated or pavement that is defective.
2. Skin patching will not be permitted.

B.   Edges of Replaced Pavement:

1. Cut edges of pavement to be removed so that sides are vertical and oriented perpendicular and parallel to direction of traffic.
2. Spray edges with a prime coat of RESINPAVE™ - Resin Modified Emulsion

C.   Installation:

1. After applying prime coat, place RESINPAVE™ mix in areas where paving was removed in sufficient quantity that will allow finished surface to conform to elevation and tolerance requirements.
2. Thoroughly compact RESINPAVE™ mix so that cured patch meets requirements specified herein.
3. Skin patching of an area that has been rolled will not be permitted.

3.11  FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A.  Density Tests:
