3.01 APPLICATION OF PRIME AND TACK COATS: The CONTRACTOR shall apply the prime
and tack coats in accordance with the following:
02513 - 2/3
A. Weather Limitations: Application shall be made when the air temperature in the
shade is above 40 degrees F.
B. Prime Coat: Application of the prime coat shall conform to FDOT Specification
Section 300-7. The surface to be primed shall be clean, and moisture content of the
base shall not exceed 90% of the optimum. The temperature of the prime material
shall be between 100 degrees and 150 degrees F. The material shall be applied by
means of a pressure distributor. The rate of application shall be not less than
0.10gal/sy, unless directed otherwise by ENGINEER.
C. Tack Coat: Application of the tack coat shall conform to FDOT Specification Section
300-8. The tack coat shall be applied with a pressure distributor. The material shall
be heated to a suitable temperature for proper application. The rate of application
shall be between 0.02 and 0.10gal per square yard. The time of application shall be
sufficiently in advance of laying of the bituminous surface course to permit drying, but
shall not be applied so far in advance so as to lose adhesiveness. The surface shall
be kept free from traffic until the subsequent layer of bituminous hot mix has been
laid.
3.02 LAYING OF ASPHALTIC CONCRETE: The CONTRACTOR shall lay the asphaltic
concrete pavement in conformance with the following:
A. Limitations of Operations: The laying operations shall not begin unless the weather
is suitable for all activities to be completed in dry conditions.
B. Preparation: The preparation of the asphalt cement, aggregates and mixture shall
conform to FDOT Specification Section 330-4, 5, and 6.
C. Transportation: The mixture shall be transported as specified in FDOT Specification

E. Compacting Mixture: Compaction of the asphaltic concrete shall be in accordance
with FDOT Specification Section 330-10.
F. Surface Requirements: The surface shall conform to FDOT Specification Section
330-12.
3.03 PROTECTION OF FINISHED SURFACES: The CONTRACTOR shall protect the finished
asphaltic concrete pavement surface upon completion. No dumping of any material
directly on the pavement shall be permitted. Vehicular traffic shall not be permitted on any
pavement that has not set sufficiently to prevent rutting or other distortion.
3.04 TEMPORARY PAVEMENT OVER TRENCHES: Temporary pavement over trenches shall
be installed according to this section and the Detail Sheets in the Construction Documents.
The temporary pavement shall meet the elevations of the existing pavement at the saw-
cuts, and shall be uniform in thickness and shall conform to the slope of the original
pavement.
3.05 FULL LANE WIDTH PAVEMENT OVERLAY: At all affected street lanes, and as indicated
on the plans, will receive a full lane width pavement overlay. Connections to existing not
resurfaced roads shall be provided with a saw cut and milling to a depth of 1” a 2 foot wide
strip at all connections to existing pavement for the full roadway width perpendicular to the
02513 - 3/3
centerline of the roadway being resurfaced. Then the entire width, and as indicated in the
plans, will receive a 1” thick pavement overlay which shall be installed per this section.
