CITY OF EVERETT SPECIAL PROVISIONS Water Main Replacement “Y” – Ph 1 Div 5 – SURFACE TMTS & PVMTS March 2024 Work Order No. UP 3814 SP-163 Provide for the setup and operation of the field testing facilities of the City as provided for in Section 3-01.2(2). 5. Sampling HMA – Provide for sampling HMA by one of the following methods: a. A mechanical sampling device attached to the HMA plant. b. Platforms or devices to enable sampling from the hauling vehicle without entering the hauling vehicle. 5-04.3(3)B Hauling Equipment Provide trucks used for hauling HMA having tight, clean, smooth metal beds and a cover of canvas or other suitable material of sufficient size to protect the mixture from adverse weather. Securely attach cover whenever the weather conditions during the work shift include, or are forecast to include precipitation or an air temperature less than 45°F or when time from loading to unloading exceeds 30 minutes to protect the HMA. Provide an environmentally benign means to prevent the HMA mixture from adhering to the hauling equipment. Drain excess release agent prior to filling hauling equipment with HMA. Do NOT use petroleum derivatives or other coating material that contaminate or alter the characteristics of the HMA. For live bed trucks, the conveyer shall be in operation during the process of applying the release agent. 5-04.3(3)C Pavers Provide HMA pavers that are self-contained, power-propelled units, with an internally heated vibratory screed and shall be capable of spreading and finishing courses of HMA plant mix material in lane widths required by the paving section shown in the Plans. Provide HMA paver in good condition and have the most current equipment available from the manufacturer for the prevention of segregation of the HMA mixture installed in good condition and in working order. Provide equipment certification listing the make, model, and year of the paver and note retrofitting of any equipment. Operate the screed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and so it effectively produces a finished surface of the required evenness and texture without tearing, shoving, segregating, or gouging the mixture. Provide a copy of the manufacturer’s recommendations upon City’s request. Extensions producing the same results, including ride, density, and surface texture as obtained by the primary screed will be allowed. Do NOT use extensions without augers and an internally heated vibratory screed in the Traveled Way. When specified in the Contract, reference lines for vertical control will be required. Place lines on both outer edges of the Traveled Way of each Roadway. Horizontal control utilizing the reference line will be permitted. Control the grade and slope for intermediate lanes automatically from reference lines or by means of a mat referencing device and a slope control device. When the finish of the grade prepared for paving is superior to the established tolerances and when, in the opinion of the Engineer, further improvement to the line, grade, cross-section, and smoothness can best be achieved without the use of the reference line, a mat referencing device may be substituted for the reference line. Substitution of the device will be subject to the continued approval of the Engineer. A joint matcher may be used subject to the approval of the Engineer. The reference line may be removed after the completion of the first course of HMA when approved by the Engineer. Whenever the Engineer determines that any of these methods are failing to provide the necessary vertical control, the reference lines will be reinstalled by the Contractor.
