Appendix C <br /> Page C. <br /> APPENDIX C <br /> PAVEMENT SPECIFICATIONS <br /> 1. DEFINITIONS—The term"pavement"shall include asphalt concrete surfacing,untreated aggregate <br /> base, and aggregate subbase. The term "subgrade" is that portion of the area on which surfacing, base, <br /> or subbase is to be placed. <br /> 2. SCOPE OF WORK — This portion of the work shall include all labor, materials, tools and <br /> equipment necessary for and reasonable incidental to the completion of the pavement shown on the plans <br /> and as herein specified,except work specifically notes as"Work Not Included." <br /> 3. PREPARATION OF THE SUBGRADE —The Contractor shall prepare the surface of the various <br /> subgrades receiving subsequent pavement courses to the lines, grades, and dimensions given on the <br /> plans. The upper 12 inches of the soil subgrade beneath the pavement section shall be compacted to a <br /> minimum compaction of 95% of maximum dry density as determined by test method ASTM D1557. <br /> The finished subgrades shall be tested and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to the placement <br /> of additional pavement of additional pavement courses. <br /> 4. AGGREGATE BASE — The aggregate base shall be spread and compacted on the prepared <br /> subgrade in conformity with the lines, grades, and dimensions shown on the plans. The aggregate base <br /> should conform to WSDOT Standard Specification for Crushed Surfacing Base Course or Top Course <br /> (Item 9-03.9(3)). The base material shall be compacted to a minimum compaction of 95%as determined <br /> by ASTM D1557. Each layer of subbase shall be tested and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer <br /> prior to the placement of successive layers. <br /> 5. ASPHALTIC CONCRETE SURFACING—Asphaltic concrete surfacing shall consist of a mixture <br /> of mineral aggregate and paving grade asphalt, mixed at central mixing plant and spread and compacted <br /> on a prepared base in conformity with the lines, grades, and dimensions shown on the plans. The <br /> viscosity grade of the asphalt shall be AR-4000. The mineral aggregate shall be WSDOT Class B. The <br /> drying,proportioning, and mixing of the materials shall conform to WSDOT Specifications. <br /> The prime coat, spreading and compacting equipment, and spreading and compacting the mixture shall <br /> conform to WSDOT Specifications, with the exception that no surface course shall be placed when the <br /> atmospheric temperature is below 50 degrees F. The surfacing shall be rolled with combination steel- <br /> wheel and pneumatic rollers, as described in WSDOT Specifications. The surface course shall be placed <br /> with an approved self-propelled mechanical spreading and finishing machine. <br /> 6. TACK COAT — The tack (mixing type asphaltic emulsion) shall conform to and be applied in <br /> accordance with the requirements of WSDOT Specifications. <br /> Krazan and Associates,Inc. <br /> Eleven Offices Serving The Western United States <br />
