be removed and replaced with suitable material and the whole subgrade brought to line and grade and to a foundation of uniform compaction and supporting power. The cost of removing and replacing unsuitable material shall be included in the bid for the paving. B. The top 12 inches of the subgrade, in both cut and fill sections, shall be compacted to a density of not less than 98 percent of the maximum density as determined by the AASHTO Method T-180. If shown on the Drawings, compact subgrade to a Florida Bearing Value of 75 psi. Unless the subgrade material at the time of compacting contains sufficient moisture to permit proper compaction it shall be moistened as necessary and then compacted. Subgrade material containing excess moisture shall be permitted to dry to the proper consistency before being compacted. The subgrade shall be shaped prior to making the density tests. The required density shall be maintained until the base or pavement has been laid or until the aggregate materials for the base or pavement course have been spread in place. C. The minimum compacted thickness of the limerock base shall be 12 inches applied in three layers of equal depth unless otherwise shown on the Drawings. The width of the limerock base shall be 3 feet wider than the pavement, 1-1/2 ft. on each side. D. Before the prime coat is applied, all loose material, dust, dirt or other foreign material which might prevent bond with existing surface shall be.moved to the shoulders to the full width of the base by means of revolving brooms, mechanical sweepers, blowers, supplemented by hand sweeping or other approved methods. The glazed finish shall have been removed from the base. The prime coat shall be applied by a pressure distributor so that approximately 0.1 gallons per square yard is applied uniformly and thoroughly to a clean surface. E. Prior to the application of the surface course, all loose material, dust, dirt and all foreign material which might prevent proper bond with the existing surface shall be removed to the full width of the repair by means of approved mechanical sweepers and supplemented by hand sweeping if required. F. Apply bituminous tack coat at a rate between 0.08 and 0.10 gallons per square yard. Bituminous material shall be heated as per manufacturers recommendations. G. All manhole castings, valve boxes or other utility castings within the area to be surfaced shall be adjusted to the proposed surface elevation by the Contractor. The work shall be accomplished in such a manner as to leave the casting fixed permanently in its correct position. 3.02 PAVEMENT REPAIR A. All damage to pavement as a result of the work (construction or maintenance) under this contract shall be repaired according to the plans and specifications at the Contractor's cost. Pavement shall be repaired to match the original surface material and original grade, however, the asphalt concrete thickness shall not be less than 1 inch. The repair shall include the preparation of the subgrade, the 08/12 02513-2 11-4179 •
