SECTION 100
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT CLAUSES
AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
- Source: FAA Document, June 15 1983 -
PART I - WAGE AND LABOR REQUIREMENTS
A. Minimum Wages:
(1) All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the
work will be paid unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and with-
out subsequent deduct i on or. rebate on any account (except such payro 11 deduc-
tions as are permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of Labor under the
Copeland Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe
benefits (or cash equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at wage
rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the Secretary
of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any
contractual relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor
and such laborers and mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably anti-
cipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section l(b) (2) of the Davis-Ba~on
Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such
laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of subparagraph A(4) below;
also, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period
but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or programs, but covering
the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred
during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appro-
priate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classifi-
cation of work actually performed, without regard to skill, except as provided
in Paragraph O. Laborers or mechanics performing work in more than one classif-
ication may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the
time actually worked therein: PROVIDED, that the employer's payroll records
accurately set forth the time spent in each classification in which work is per-
formed. The wage determination (including any additional classification and
wage rates conformed under paragraph A.(2) of this section) and the Davis-Bacon
poster (WH-13210) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcon-
tractors at the site of the work in a prominent and accessible place where it
can be easily seen by the workers. (29CFR5.5(a)(I)(i))
(2) (a) The contracting offers shall require that any class of laborers or
mechanics, which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be
employed under the contract, shall be classified in conformance with the wage
determination. The contracting officer shall approve an additional classifica-
tion and wage rate and fringe benefits therefor only when the following criteria
have been met:
1. The work to be performed by the classification requested is
not performed by a classification in the wage determination;
and
SP118/030785 APl-l
2. The classification is utilized in the area by the construction
industry; and
3. The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe bene-
fits, bears a reasonable relationship to the wage rates con-
tained in the wage determination.
(b) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in
the classification (if known), or their representatives and the contracting
officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the amount desig-
nated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall
be sent by the contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
Washington, D. C. 20210. The Admini strator, or an authori zed representative,
will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify
the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional time is neces-
sary.
(c) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be
employed in the classification or their representatives, and the contracting
officer do not agree on the proposed classification and ~age rate (including the
amount designated for fringe benefits, where appropriate), the contracting
officer shall refer the questions, including the views of all interested parties
and the recommendation of the contracting officer, to the Administrator for
determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will issue a
determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or
will notify the contracting officer within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary.
(d) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) deter-
mined pursuant to subparagraphs (2) (b) or (c) of this paragraph, shall be paid
to all workers performing work in the classification under this contract from
the first day on which work is performed in the classification. (29 CFR 5.5
(a)(1)(ii))
(3) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class
of laborers or mechanics includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an
hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as stated in the wage
determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash
equivalent thereof. (29CFR5.5(a)(1)(iii))
(4) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third
person, the contractor may cons i der as part of the wages of any 1 aborer or
mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona fide
fringe benefits under a plan or program, PROVIDED, that the Secretary of Labor
has found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable stan-
dards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require
the contractor to set as i de in a separate account assets for the meet i ng of
obligations under the plan or program. (29CFR5.5(a)(1)(iv))
SP118/030785
AP1-2
B. Withholding:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shall, upon its own action or
upon written request of an authorized representative of the Department of Labor,
withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under this contract or any
other federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other federa lly-
assisted contract subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is
he ld by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances
as may be considered necessary to pay laborers and mechanics, including appren-
tices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or any subcontractor
the full amount of wages required by this contract. In the event of failure to
pay any laborer or mechanics, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper,
employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the wages required
by this contract, the FAA may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspen-
sion of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such viola-
tions have ceased. (29CFR5.5(a)(2))
C. Payrolls and Basic Records:
(1) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto will be maintained by the
contractor during the course of the work and preserved for a period of three (3)
years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the site of the work.
Such records wi 11 contain the name, address and soc i a 1 security number of each
such worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid
(including rates of contributions or costs anticipated for bona fide fringe
benefits or cash equivalents thereof, of the types described in Section
1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked,
deductions made and actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has
found, under a (4) of this clause, that the wages of any laborer or mechanic
include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits
under a plan or program described in Section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act,
the contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment to provide
such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially reason-
able, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the
laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated Or
the actual costs incurred in providing such benefits. Contractors employing
apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence
of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee pro-
grams, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage
rates prescribed in the applicable program. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i))
(2) (a) The Contractor will submit weekly, for each week in which any con-
tract work is performed, a copy of all payrolls to the FAA if the agency is a
party to the contract, but if the agency is not such a party, the Contractor
will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may
be, for transmi ss ion to the FAA. The payrolls submitted shall set out accur-
ately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under
Paragraph 5.5(a)(3)(i) of Regulations 29 CFR Part 5. This information may be
submitted in any form desired.
Opt i ona 1 Form WH-347 is ava i 1 ab 1 e for th i s purpose and may be pur-
chased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-

tor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls of all subcontrac-
tors.
(b) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of
Comp 1 i ance t" signed by the contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who
pays or supervi ses the payment of the persons emp 10yed under the contract and
shall certify the following:
1. That the payroll for the payroll period contains the informa-
tion required to be maintained under Paragraph 5.5(a)(_)(i) of
Regu1ationst 29 CFR Part 5 and that such information is cor-
rect and complete;
2. That each laborer or mechanic (including each he1pert appren-
ticet and trainee) employed on the contract during the payroll
period has been paid the fully weekly wages earnedt without
rebatet either directly or indirect1Yt and that no deductions
have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wage's earnedt other than permissible deductions as set forth
in Regu1ationst 29 CRF Part 3;
3. That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the
applicable wage rates and fringe benefits or cash equivalents
for the classification of work performedt as specified in the
applicable wage determination incorporated into the contract:
(c) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set
forth on the reverse side of Optional Form WH-347 shall satisfy the requirement
for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by paragraph C.(2)(b)
of this section.
(d) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject
the contractor or subcontractor to civil or criminal prosecution under Section
1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States Code. (29
CFR5.5(a)(3)(ii))
(3) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under
paragraph C.(I) of this section available for inspectiont copying or transcrip-
tion by authorized representatives of the FAA or the Department of Labort and
shall permit such representatives to interview employees during working hours on
the job. If the contractor or subdcontractor fai 1s to submit the required
records or to make them avai1ab1et the federal agency maYt after written notice
to the contractort sponsort app1icantt or ownert take such action as may be
necessary to cause the suspension of any further paymentt advancet or guarantee
of funds. Furthermoret failure to submit the required records upon request or
to make such records avail ab 1e may be grounds for debarment act ion pursuant to
29CFR 5.12. (29CFR5.5(a)(3)(iii))
D. Apprentices and trainees:
(1) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed and
SP118/030785
APl-4
individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with
the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by
the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probation-
ary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not
individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appro-
priate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allow-
able ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classifica-
tion shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to his
entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll
at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as
stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work he actually performed. In addi-
tion, any apprentice performing work on the jOb site in excess of the ratio
permitted under the registered program, shall be paid not less than the appli-
cable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed.
Where a contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other
than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates
(expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the con-
tractor's or subcontractor's registered program, shall be observed. Every
apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered
program for the apprenti ces' s leve 1 of progress, expressed as a percentage of
the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determinatien.
Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of
the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify
fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits
listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the
Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable
apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that deter-
mination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an appren-
ticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize appren-
tices at less than the applicable predetermined rate acceptable program is
approved. (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)(i))
(2) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16 trainees will not be per-
mitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless
they are employed pursuant to, and individually registered in, a program which
has received ~rior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of
trainees to journeymen shall not be greater than permitted under the plan
approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be
paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the
trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly
rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid in
full benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the
trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the
full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an appren-
ticeShip program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the
wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for appren-
tices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not regis-
SP118/030785
APl-5
tered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and
Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on
the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any trainee performing work on the job ~ite in excess of the ra~io
permitted under the registered program shall be pald not less than the appllC-
able wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In
the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training withdraws approval of a
training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees
at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved. (29CFR5.5(a)(4)(ii))
(3) Equal employment opportunity. The utilization of apprentices,
trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal
employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29
CFR Part 30. (29CFR 5.5(a)(5))
E. Compliance with Copeland Regulations:
The contractor sha 11 . comp ly with the Cope 1 and Regu 1 at ions (29 CFR Part 3)

tors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime con-
tractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower
tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CRF 5.5. (29CFR5.5(a)
(6)).
G. Contract Termination: Debarment:
A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termina-
t ion of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as
provided in 29 CFR 5.12. (29CFR5.5(a)(7))
H. Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act Requirements:
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts con-
tained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this
contract. (29CFR5.5(a)(8))

Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract
shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this contract. Such
disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department
of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6 and 7. Disputes within the meaning of
this clause include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontrac-
tors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor or the employees

PART II - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY REQUIREMENTS
A. Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract
Specifications (Executive Order 11246, as amended).
1. As used in these specifications:
a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solic-
itation from which this contract resulted;
b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Comp 1 i ance
Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director
delegates authority;
c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal Social Security
number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury
Department Form 941.
d. "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African
racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central
or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any
of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian
Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having onglns
in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable
tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identifi-
cat i on) .
2. Whenever the Contractor, or any Subcontractor at any tier, subcon-
tracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall phys-
ically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these
specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority
and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which
this contract resulted.
3. If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a
Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area
either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obliga-
tions on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in
accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in
the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate in and compliance with the
provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or Subcontractor partici-
pating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obliga-
tions under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal
under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith
SP118/030785
AP 1-11
performance by other Contractors or Subcontractors toward a goal in an approved
Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor's or Subcontractor's failure to
take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action stan-
dards provided in paragraphs 7a through p of these specifications. The goals
set forth in the solicitation from which this contract resulted are expressed as
percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female
utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each con-
struction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered con-
struction contractors performing construction work in geographical areas where
they do not have a Federal or federa lly ass i sted construction contract shall
app ly the mi nority and female goa 1 s estab 1 i shed for the geograph i ca 1 area where
the work is being performed. Goals are publiShed periodically in the Federal
Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any office of
Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal Procurement contrac-
ting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform prog-
ress toward its goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the
failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agree-
ment, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obliga-
tions under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations pro-
mulgated pursuant thereto.
6. In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees
to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be
employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must
have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion
of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities.
Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S.
Department of Labor.
7. The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal
employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with
these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results
from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall
implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:
a. Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment,
intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Con-
tractor1s employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will
as sign two or more women to each construct i on project. The Contractor sha 11
speCifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site super-
visory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to main-
tain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female
individuals working at such sites or in such facilities.
b. Establish and maintain a current list of minority and
recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and
recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor
unions have employment opportunities avai lable, and maintain a record
organizations' responses.

c. Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone
numbers of each minority and female off-the-street app 1 icant and minority or
female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and
of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such indivi-
dual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to
the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor,
this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with what-
ever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the
union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement
has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the
Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral
process has impeded the Contract efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in
training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women,
including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to
the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved
by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provi de noti ce of these pro-
grams to the sources compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the
policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation. in
assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any
policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the com-
pany newspaper, annual report, etc., by specific review of the policy with all
management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a
year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all
employees at each location where construction work is performed..
g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirma-
tive action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any
responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment
decisions including specific review of these items with on-site supervisory per-
sonnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation
of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and main-
tained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, sub-
ject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter.
h. Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it
in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female
news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the
Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and Subcontractors with whom the
Contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minor-
ity, fema"e and community organizations, to schools with minority and female
students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serv-
ing the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs.
Not 1 ater than one month pri or to the date for the acceptance of app 1 i cat ions
for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor
SP1l8/030785
API-I3
shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing
the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection pro-
cess.
j. Encourage present minority and female emp loyees to recruit other
minority persons and women and where reasonable provide after school, summer and
vacation employment to minority and female youth both on the site and in other
areas of a Contractor's workforce.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is
an obligation to do so under 41 CFR Part 60-3.
1. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least
of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage
these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc.,
such opportunities.
m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assign-
ments and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by con-
tinually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure
that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications
are being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are nonsegre-
gated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facili-
ties shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. _
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for
subcontracts from mi nority and fema le construct ion contractors and supp 1 iers,
including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associ-
ations and other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence
to and performance under the Contractor's EEO po 1 i c i es and affirmat i ve act ion
obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations
which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations
(7a through p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-
union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the contractor is a
member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling anyone or more of its
obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the con-
tractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that
the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the
industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the
Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith
effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to
documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of
the Contractor. The ob 1 i gat i on to comp ly, however, is the Contractor I sand
failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the
Contractor's noncompliance.

AP1-14
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have
been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employ-
ment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both
ma le and female, and all women, both minority and non-minority. Consequently,
the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group
is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
Contractor has achieved its goal for women generally, the Contractor may be in
violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is under-
uti lized).
10. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative
action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color,
religion, sex, or national origin.
11. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or
firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as
amended.
12. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for viola-
tion of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including sus-
pension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as they may be
imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its imple-
menting regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any
Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in vio-
lation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended.
13. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifica-
tions shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive
as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to
achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity.
If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the-Executive Order,
the i.mplementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall pro-
ceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all
employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being car-
ried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be required
by the Government and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each
employee the name, address, telephone numbers, construction trade, union affil-
iation, if any, employee identification number when assigned, social security
number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, helper, or
laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated
trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records
shall be maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however,
to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall
not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the
application of other laws which establish different standards of compliance or
upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local or other area resi-
dents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the
Community Development Block Grant Program).

PROJECT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
The airport will be closed during construction, and cannot be reopened until
cons truct ion is comp 1 eted on the runway and connector tax i way. Reopen i ng the
airport is discouraged for safety reasons due to being an uncontrolled airfield,
i.e., no tower control.
This document sets forth specific requirements for airport safety applicable to
this project. The Contractor is cautioned that construction will impact safe
operating conditions on the airport. All construction activity must be proven
safe, regarding aircraft while moored, when taxiing, or when taking off or land-
ing. Aircraft taxiing or landing always have the right-of-way over ground
vehicles. Aircraft safety and safety of occupants and users is a primary con-
cern for the satisfactory execution of this contract. Of concern is the safety
of all personnel, regardless if pilot, airport personnel, contractor,
bystanders, etc. operating vehicles and equipment related to the construction
project and near the airport. Final instructions regarding operations on or
near an active runway or taxiway shall be obtained from the Engineer prior to
planning the work.
The Contractor's field supervision shall demonstrate comprehension of baSic
project safety requirements as identified in the following paragraphs of this
specification volume:
40-05
70-07
70-08
80-04

1.0 SAFETY PLAN
The airport will be closed, temporary markings for both the closed runway and
the closed taxiway shall be provided by the Contractor, and will remain closed
until work is completed.
The Contractor shall notify the Fixed Base Operator (FBO); Provincetown, Boston
Airways (PBA); Southern Express; Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA); and
local pilots' organizations of the proposed construction schedule in detailed
steps. The Contractor wi 11 review the detailed schedule of required actions.
The following are required actions to implement the safety plan effectively and
safely:
o The Director of Airports shall initiate a NOTAM for the impending
construction, FAA to issue NOTAM;
SPl18/030785 S-l
o local pilots' organizations should conduct informational meetings,
inviting airport management to brief their members of the proposed
construction program, temporary closing of the runway, and time
period involved.
The Contractor shall implement the safety plan immediately following approval of
by the Director of Airports. He must have equipment ready, and construction and
safety schedules approved. The Contractor shall provide the following once the
Notice to Proceed is issued:
* for the closed runway --
o place closed runway markers, each end; see sheet of the 2 plans
and AC 150/5370-2C;
o deactivate the runway edge and threshold lights; taxiway edge
lights;
o set-up flashing red lights for night recognition of the closed
runway markers; and,
In no case shall the Contractor attempt to move, relocate, or tie down aircraft.
If aircraft are found moored in a scheduled and authorized work area, the con-
tractor shall notify the Director of Airports, the fixed base operator manager,
or the resident inspector for immediate removal. Any delay in removal of such
aircraft or in making a scheduled work area available to the Contractor, in
excess of 24 hours, shall be logged by the resident inspector for consideration
if liquidated damages are assigned as a result of delay in the project.
Under no circumstances is the Contractor allowed to use, cross, traverse, or
perform any construction tasks on the active runways, taxiways, or actively used
aircraft parking aprons, unless permission has been properly authorized by the
Director of Airports, and appropriate FBO operations personnel in accordance
with paragraph 4.0.
The Contractor sha 11 exerc i se extreme caution in the veh i c 1 e park i ng areas and
access roads, taking whatever measures necessary to insure the safety of per-
sonnel using the airport, construction personnel, and property and equipment at
the airport.
2.0 BACKGROUND
Operational safety for aircraft, vehicles, equipment, and personnel during con-
struction programs at an airport may be affected by obvious and many times
subt le Contractor induced hazards or marginal safety condit ions that develop
during the course of the project. Examples of such hazards or marginal condi-
tions which have occurred in the past that resulted in accidents or incidents
are:
2.1 Improperly supervised excavations adjacent to runways, taxiways and apron
areas, such as included in this project.
SP118/030785
5-2
2.2 Mounds of earth, construction materi a 1, temporary structures and other
obstacles in or in proximity. to operational areas, including approach
zones, runway safety areas, and runway primary surfaces.
2.3 Runway, taxiway, and apron surfacing projects which result in sharp or
excessive lips between the old and new surfaces at the runway, taxiway,
and apron edges and ends.
2.4 Heavy equipment, both stationary and mobile, operating or being left for
unnecessary periods of time within the boundaries of active airport move-
ment areas.
2.5 Operation of heavy equipment, storage of material or equipment located in
approach and other critical areas such as safety areas and primary
surfaces.
2.6 Improper or malfunctioning runway, taxiway or other lights or unlighted
hazards.
2.7 Debris resulting from construction such as loose asphalt, aggregate,
shipping cartons, excess materials, and plastic bags located on runways,
taxiways, and safety areas.
2.8 Disruption of security: accidental or inadvertent opening of fenclng
protecting passengers for air carrier operations and aircraft operatjng
on or stored on ramps or aprons.
2.9 Hazards created due to weather conditions such as standing water on or
adjacent to runways, taxiways, and aprons; wind driven sand accumulations
from construction areas, etc. '
2.10 Deterioration or damage by construction of runway, taxiway or ramp mark-
ings or lighting to the extent that visual guidance is no longer pro-
vided.
2.11 Improper methods of marking temporarily closed operational areas such as
the use of portable street barricades.
3.0 SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
The Director of Airports, is responsible for maintaining and assuring opera-
tional safety when hazardous or marginal conditions typical of construction
project develop at a public use airport. He must inform users of the airport,
the FAA Flight Standards Office, Miami, the commercial carriers, and airport
tenants that hazardous or marginal conditions may exist on the airport.
3.1 Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)
....
The Director of Airports, wi 11 provide the necessary information describing
hazardous or marginal conditions to the FAA Fl ight Service Station at Key West
so that a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) can be issued according to established
procedures. Pilots or persons engaged in aviation activities are requested to
SPl18/030785
S-3
report hazardous or marginal airport conditions to the airport management, Key
West Flight Service Station, Flight Standards Office, or Airports District
Office.
It is important that NOTAMs be kept current and reflect the actual conditions
with respect to construction situations. Active NOTAMs should be reviewed
periodically by the Director of Airports, airport users, and Contractor to re-
flect current conditions. Issuance of NOTAMs should provide adequate time to
allow users of the airport to make other arrangements if any portion of a runway
is to be closed. An agreed upon method of providing NOTAM information in the
National Airspace System should be established between the Director of Airports,
Contractor and FAA prior to the start of the construction.

3.3 Scheduling of Work
It is to be understood that all operations in the airport are to be stopped
until all work is finished. Prior to commencement of any work, the Director of
Airports, and a FAA Flight Service Representative must confer with the
Contractor to assure that the scheduling of construction activities in
conjunction with aircraft operations is fully understood. Construction work
should be phased so that it will result in minimum delays to aircraft movements.
In moving from one area of construction activity to another area, appropriate
advance notice shall be provided by the Contractor to the resident inspector and
airport users. The Director of Airports, will coordinate the Contractor's
proposed schedule of operations with the airport users and Flight Standards
Office.
The Contractor shall notify the Director of Airports, prior to scheduling and
initiating work that would require closing of the runway, taxiways, and aprons
to traffic.
4.0 GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY DURING CONSTRUCTION
These guidelines apply to all construction work which may affect the movement of
aircraft, operating procedures for aircraft and ground handling equipment, pas-
senger or cargo handling and the movement of emergency ground equipment.
.-r
SP118/030785
S-4
4.1 Construction Activity and Aircraft Movements
4.1.1 Prior to any construction activity affecti ng aircraft movement
areas, the resident inspector will coordinate safety requirements
with airport users and appropriate representatives of FAA. This
coordinated approach to construction activity wi 11 determine any
restrictions required for the project's special provisions which
should result in a minimum of interference to aircraft opera-
tions. For example: the restrictions may result in closing a
portion of the airport, runway or taxiway areas for specified
periods or they may result in phasing the work to accomplish
certain activities at selected times.
4.1.2 For construction activity to be performed in other than active
operational areas, the storage and parking of equipment and mate-
rials, when not in use or about to be installed, should not
encroach upon active operational areas. In protecting opera-
tional areas, the minimum clearances maintained for runways
should be in agreement with Part 77 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations.
4.1.3 Because of frequent necessity to accomplish construction within
areas defined by FAR Part 77, whi 1e aircraft operations are in
progress, the following distances from runway or taxiway edges
and runway approach areas could be authorized due to construction
activity before it would be necessary to close temporarily a run-
way or taxiway.
Runway 7/25
125 feet
40 feet
20:1 slope
600 feet (based upon a 20-foot
high obstacle at
runway end)
4.1.4 The presence of construction equipment, rough grades, or open
excavation in excess of three inches deep within the above areas
will require closure of runway, taxiway or operations areas until
removed or corrected. Warning signs, low profile weighted bar-
riers, and red flashing caution lights shall be located in taxi
areas in advance of the construction site.
Distance from runway edge
Distance from taxiway edge
Runway approach areas
Distance from runway end
4.2 Limitation on Construction
4.2.1 Open flame welding or torch cutting operations shall be prohib-
ited, especially near fuel farm areas, unless adequate fire and
safety precautions are provided and have been approved by the
airport owner or operator.
SP118/030785 S-5
4.2.2 Open trenches, excavations and stockpiled material at the con-
struct i on site shou 1 d be promi nent ly marked with red fl ags and
lighted by red flashing caution lights during hours of restricted
visibility or darkness. No open trenches will be left open if
airport is operational.
4.2.3 Stockpiled material should be constrained in a manner to prevent
movement resulting from aircraft blast or wind conditions in
excess of 10 knots.
4.3 Motor Vehicle Operators
4.3.1 Before Contractor personnel are allowed to proceed with construc-
tion, they must be adequately schooled by Contractor supervision
in the safety requirements of this plan and checked carefully as
to their understanding of, the plan. Their movements near or
across the runway operations area must be supervised. L imita-
tions imposed by authorized construction program phasing must be
understood; also the means whereby approval and escort is pro-
vided for crossing unauthorized areas of aircraft movement.
Operation safety instructions shall be reviewed periodically, by
supervision, especially as new inexperienced personnel are added
to Contractor's staff. ·
4.3.2 When any vehicle operator other than personnel routinely worklng
in the aircraft movement area and runway approach area is
required to travel over any portion of that area, that operator
should be escorted by authorized personnel in a vehicle properly
authorized to operate in the area, or the vehicle must be pro-
vided with an amber flashing dome-type light (preferred) or at
least a flag on a staff so attached to the vehicle that the flag
will be readily visible. The flag should not be less than three
feet square, cons ist ing of a checkered pattern of international
orange and white squares of not less than one foot on each side
and displayed in full view above the vehicle. A flag or escort
vehicle is not required for vehicles which have been painted,
marked, and 1 i ghted for routine use on aircraft movement areas
and operated by qualified personnel. Any vehicle operating on
the aircraft movement area shall also be equipped with a flashing
dome-type light, and the color to be in accordance with local
and/or state codes. If the airport has a security plan, check
for guidance on additional identification and control of con-
struction equipment.
4.3.3 Vehicle operators crossing active movement areas shall be con-
trolled by either two-way radio communications, at 122.8 Mhz, by
escort, flagman, or signal light. Clearance should be confirmed
by the vehicle operator's personal observation that no aircraft
is approaChing his position.
4.3.4 It may be desirable to identify vehicles for control purposes by
either assigned initials or numbers prominently displayed on each
",",
SP118/030785
$-6
side. The identifying symbols should be of eight inch mlnlmum,
block type characters of a color easily read. They may be
applied by use of tape or water soluble paint to facilitate
removal. In addition, all vehicles must display the airport
identification or security media as specified in the approved
airport security plan, if applicable.
4.4 Debris
Waste and loose material capable of causing damage to aircraft landing
gears, propellers or being ingested in jet engines should not be placed
on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials such as asphalt
coated aggregate particles tracked on these areas should be removed con-
tinuously during the work project.
5.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE
Listed below are items that must be discussed with all interested airport users:
5.1 Accurate telephone information to contact hospital, ambulance, police or
fire departments in event of emergency, radio frequencies for direct
access to airport agencies (see Section 80-04), telephone numbers and
names and locations of hospitals including direct access routes.

alterations in the work as may increase or decrease the originally awarded con-
tract quantities, provided that the aggregate of such alterations does not
change the total contract cost or the total cost of any major contract item by

tute materials or equipment;
SP118/042684
GP-20
2. exceed limitations on Engineer's authority as set forth in the Contract
Documents;
3. undertake any of the responsibility of Contractor, subcontractors or
Contractor's superintendent, or expedite the Work;
4. advise on, or issue, directions relative to any aspect of the means,
methods, techniques, sequences, or procedures of construction unless such
is specifically called for in the Contract Documents;
5. advise on, or issues, directions as to safety precautions and programs in

50-02 CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. All work and all materials fur-
nished shall be in reasonably close conformity with the lines, grades, grading
sections, cross sections, dimensions, material requirements, and testing
requirements that are specified (including specified tolerances) in the con-
tract, plans, or specifications.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished
product not within reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications
but that the portion of the work affected will, in his opinion, result in a
finished product having a level of safety, economy, durability, and workmanship
acceptable to the Owner, he will advise the Owner of his determination that the
affected work be accepted and remain in place. In this event, the Engineer will
document his determi nat i on and recommend to the Owner a basi s of acceptance
which will provide for an adjustment in the contract price for the affected por-
t i on of the work. The Eng i neer 's determi nat i on and recommended contract pri ce
adjustments will be based on good engineering judgment and such tests or retests
of the affected work as are, in his opinion, needed. Changes in the contract
price shall be covered by contract modifications (change order or supplemental
agreement) as applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished
product are not in reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications
and have resulted in an unacceptable finished product, the affected work or
materi a 1 s shall be removed and rep 1 aced or otherwi se corrected by and at the
expense of the contractor in accordance with the Engineer's written orders.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" shall
not be construed as waiving the contractor's responsibility to complete the work
in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications. The term shall not
be construed as waiving the Engineer's right to insist on strict compliance with
the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications during the
Contractor's prosecution of the work, when, in the Engineer's opinion, such com-
pliance is essential to provide an acceptable finished portion of the work.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" is
also intended to provide the Engineer with the authority to use good engineering

judgment in his determinations as to acceptance of work that is not in strict
conformity but wi 11 provide a finished product equal to or better than that
intended by the requirements of the contract, plans and specifications.
50-03 COORDINATION OF CONTRACT, PLANS, AND SPECIFICATIONS. The contract,
plans, specifications, and all referenced standards cited are essential parts of
the contract requirements. A requirement occurring in one is as binding as
though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe
and provide for a complete work. In case of discrepancy, calculated dimensions
will govern over scaled dimensions; contract technical specifications shall
govern over contract general provisions, plans, cited standards for materials or
testing, and cited FAA advisory circulars; contract general provisions shall
govern over plans, cited standards for materials or testing, and cited FAA
advisory circulars; plans shall govern over cited standards for materials or
testing and cited FAA advisory circulars.
The contractor shall not take advantage of any apparent error or omission on the
plans or specifications. In the event the contractor discovers any apparent
error or discrepancy, he shall immediately call upon the Engineer for his inter-
pretation and decision, and such decision shall be final.
50-04 COOPERATION OF CONTRACTOR. The contractor will be supplied with two cop-
ies each of the plans and specifications dated by the Engineer as of date of
Notice to Proceed. He shall have available on the work at all times one copy
each of the plans and specifications. Additional copies of the plans and spec-
ifications may be obtained by the contractor for the cost of reproduction. -
The contractor shall give constant attention to the work to facilitate the pro-
gress thereof, and he shall cooperate with the Engineer and his inspectors and
with other contractors in every way possible. The Engineer shall allocate the
work and designate the sequence of construction in case of controversy between
contractors. The contractor sha 11 have a competent superi ntendent on the work
at all times who is fully authorized as his agent on the work. The superinten-
dent sha 11 be capab 1e of read i ng and thorough 1y understand i ng the plans and
specifications and shall receive and fu1fi 11 instructions from the Engineer or
his authorized representative.
50-05 COOPERATION BETWEEN CONTRACTORS. The Owner reserves the right to contract
for and perform other or additional work on or near the work covered by this
contract.
When separate contracts are let within the limits of anyone project, each con-
tractor shall conduct his work so as not to interfere with or hinder the prog-
ress of completion of the work being performed by other contractors. Contrac-
tors working on the same project shall cooperate with each other as directed.
Each contractor involved shall assume all liability, financial or otherwise, in
connection with his contract and shall protect and save harmless the Owner from
any and all damages or claims that may arise because of inconvenience, delays,
or loss experienced by him because of the presence and operations of other con-
tractors working within the limits of the same project.
The contractor sha 11 arrange his work and sha 11 place and dispose of the mate-
rials being used so as not to interfere with the operations of the other con-
SP118/041884
GP-22
tractors within the limits of the same project. He shall join his work with
that of the others in an acceptable manner and shall perform it in proper
sequence to that of the others.
The contractor shall not commit or permit any act which will interfere with the
performance of the work by any other contractor or fail to perform such acts as
required to avoid interference with the performance of work by any other con-
tractor.
If there be a difference of oplnlon as to the respective rights of the
Contractor and others doing the work within the limits of or adjacent to the
project, the Engineer will decide as to the respective rights of the various
parties involved in order to secure the completion of the Owner's work in
general harmony and in a satisfactory manner, and his decision shall be final
and binding on the contractor.
50-06 CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT AND STAKES. The contractor shall furnish all surveys
prior to and during construction. Initial staking for the construction layout
and the final measurements for the proposed work shall be performed by a compet-
ent surveyor at the expense of the contractor, who shall cooperate wi th the
Engineer to facilitate checking of the work.
50-07 AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED EQUIPMENT. Whenever batching or mixing plant
equ i pment is requ i red to be operated automat i ca lly under the contract and' a
breakdown or malfunction of the automatic controls occurs, the equipment may be
operated manually or by other methods for a~period of 48 hours following thp
breakdown or malfunction, provided this method of operations will produce
results which conform to all other requirements of the contract.
50-08 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF INSPECTORS. Inspectors employed by the Owner
shall be authorized to inspect all work done and all material furnished. Such
inspect i on may extend to all or any part of the work and to the preparation,
fabrication, or manufacture of the materials to be used. Inspectors are not
authorized to revoke, alter, or waive any provision of the contract. Inspectors
are not authorized to issue instructions contrary to the plans and specifica-
tions or to act as foreman for the contractor.
Inspectors employed by the Owner are authorized to notify the contractor or his
representative of any failure of the work or materials to conform to the
requirements of the contract, plans, or specifications and to reject such non-
conforming materials in question until such issues can be referred to the
Engineer for his decision.
The payment of any compensation, whatever may be its character or form, or the
giving of any gratuity, or the granting of any valuable favor, by the contractor
to any inspector, or resident project representative, directly or indirectly, is
strictly prohibited and any such act on the part of the contractor will consti-
tute a violation of this contract.
50-09 INSPECTION OF THE WORK. All materials and each part or detail of the work
shall be subject to inspection by the Engineer. The Engineer shall be allowed
access to all parts of the work and shall be furnished with such information and
assistance by the contractor as is required to make a complete and detailed
inspection.
SP1l8/041884
GP-23
If the Engineer requests it, the contractor, at any time before acceptance of
the work, shall remove or uncover such portions of the finished work as may be
directed. After examination, the contractor shall restore said portions of the
work to the standard required by the specifications. Should the work thus
exposed or examined prove acceptable, the uncovering, or removing, and the
replacing of the covering or making good of the parts removed will be paid for
as extra work; but shou 1 d the work so exposed or exami ned prove unacceptab 1 e,
the uncovering, or removing, and the replacing of the covering or making good of
the parts removed will be at the contractor's expense.
Any work done or materials used without supervision or inspection by an autho-
ri zed representat i ve of the Owner may be ordered removed and rep 1 aced at the
contractor's expense unless the Owner's representative failed to inspect after
having been given reasonable notice in writing that the work was to be per-
formed.
Should the contract work include relocation, adjustment, or any other modifica-
tion to existing facilities, not the property of the (contract) Owner, author-
ized representatives of the Owner of such facilities shall have the right to
inspect such work. Such inspection shall in no way interfere with the rights of
the parties to this contract.
50-10 REMOVAL OF UNACCEPTABLE AND UNAUTHORIZED WORK. All work which does not
conform to the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications wi 11 "be
considered unacceptable, unless otherwise determined acceptable by the Engineer
as provided in the subsection titled CONFORMITY WITH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS-in
this section.
Unacceptab le work, whether the resu lt of poor workmanshi p, use of defective
materials, damage through carelessness, or any other cause found to exist prior
to the final acceptance of the work, shall be removed immediately and replaced
in an acceptab 1 e manner in accordance with the prov is ions of the sub sect i on
titled CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR WORK in Section 70.
No work shall be done without lines and grades having been given and approved by
the Engineer. Work done contrary to the instructions of the Engineer, work done
beyond the lines shown on the plans or as given, except as herein specified, or
any extra work done without authority, wi 11 be considered as unauthorized and
will not be paid for under the provisions of the contract. Work so done may be
ordered removed or replaced at the contractor's expense.
Upon failure on the part of the contractor to comply forthwith with any order of
the Engineer made under the provisions of this subsection, the Engineer will
have authority to cause unacceptable work to be remedied or removed and replaced
and unauthorized work to be removed and to deduct the costs (incurred by the
Owner) from any monies due or to become due the contractor.
50-11 LOAD RESTRICTIONS. The contractor shall comply with all legal load
restrictions in the hauling of materials on public roads beyond the limits of
the work. A special permit will not relieve the contractor of liability for
damage which may result from the moving of material or equipment.
The oper at i on of equ i pment of such we i ght or so loaded as to cau se damage to
structures or to any other type of construction will not be permitted. Hauling
SP118/041884
GP-24
of materials over the base course or surface course under construction shall be
1 imited as directed. No loads wi 11 be permitted on a concrete pavement, base,
or structure before the expiration of the curing period. The contractor shall
be responsible for all damage done by his hauling equipment and shall correct
such damage at his own expense.
50-12 MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION. The contractor shall maintain the work
during construction and until the work is accepted. This maintenance shall con-
stitute continuous and effective work prosecuted day by day, with adequate
equipment and forces so that the work is maintained in satisfactory condition at
all times.
In the case of a contract for the placing of a course upon a course or subgrade
previous ly constructed, the contractor shall mai ntain the previous course or
subgrade during all construction operations.
All costs of maintenance work during construction and before the project is
accepted shall be included in the unit prices bid on the various contract items,
and the contractor will not be paid an additional amount for such work.
50-13 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE WORK. Should the contractor at any time fail to
maintain the work as provided in the subsection titled MAINTENANCE DURING CON-
STRUCTION of this section, the Engineer shall immediately notify the contractor
of such noncompliance. Such notification shall specify a reasonable time within
which the contractor shall be required to remedy such unsatisfactory maintenance
condition. The time specified will give due consideration to the exigency that
exists.
Should the contractor fail to respond to the Engineer's notification, the
Engi neer may suspend any work necessary for the Owner to correct such unsat i s-
factory maintenance condition, depending on the exigency that exists. Any
maintenance cost incurred by the Owner shall be deducted from monies due or to
become due the contractor.
50-14 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE. If at any time during the prosecution of the project
the contractor substantially completes a usable unit or portion of the work, the
occupancy of which wi 11 benefit the Owner, he may request the Engineer to make
final inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds upon inspection that the
unit has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, he may
accept it as be i ng comp 1 eted, and the contractor may be re 1 i eved of further
responsibility for that unit. Such partial acceptance and beneficial occupancy
by the Owner shall not void or alter any provision of the contract.
50-15 FINAL ACCEPTANCE. Upon due notice from the contractor of presumptive com-
p 1 et i on of the ent i re proj ect, the Eng i neer and Owner wi 11 make an inspect i on.
If all construction provided for and contemplated by the contract is found to be
completed in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications, such
inspection shall constitute the final inspection. The Engineer shall notify
the contractor in writing of final acceptance as of the date of the final
inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being
unsatisfactory, the Engineer will give the contractor the necessary instructions
SP118/041884
GP-25
.~,~~;"~--"".."",".,,,..
for correct i on of same, and the contractor sha 11 immed i ate ly camp ly with and
execute such instructions. Upon correction of the work, another inspection will
be made which shall constitute the final inspection, provided the work has been
satisfactorily completed. In such event, the Engineer will make the final
acceptance and notify the contractor in writing of this acceptance as of the
date of final inspection.
50-16 CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES. If for any reason the Contractor
deems that additional compensation is due him for work or materials not clearly
provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications or previously authorized
as extra work, he shall notify the Engineer in writing of his intention to claim
such additional compensation before he begins the work on which he bases the
claim. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper
opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost as
required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such addi-
tional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the
Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be
construed as proving or substantiating the validity of the claim. When the work
on which the claim for additional compensation is based has been completed, the
Contractor shall, within 10 calendar days, submit his written claim to the
Engineer who will present it to the Owner for consideration in accordance with
local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor-Is
right to dispute final payment based on differences in measurements or computa-
tions.
50-17 COST REDUCTION INCENTIVE. The provisions of this subsection will apply
only to contracts awarded to the lowest bidder pursuant to competitive bidding.
On projects with original contract amounts in excess of $100,000, the Contractor
may submit to the Engineer, in writing, proposals for modifying the plans, spec-
ifications, or other requirements of the contract for the sole purpose of reduc-
ing the cost of construction. The cost reduction proposal shall not impair, in
any manner, the essential functions or characteristics of the project, includ-
ing, but not limited to service life, economy of operation, ease of maintenance,
desired appearance, design, and safety standards. The provision shall not apply
unless the proposal submitted is specifically identified by the Contractor as
being presented for consideration as a value engineering proposal.
Not eligible for cost reduction proposals are changes in the basic design of a
pavement type, runway and taxiway lighting, visual aids, hydraulic capacity of
drainage facilities, or changes in grade or alignment that reduce the geometric
standards of the project.
As a minimum, the following information shall be submitted by the Contractor
with each proposal: .
(a) A description of both the existing contract requirements for perform-
ing the work and the proposed changes, with a discussion fo the comparative
advantages and disadvantages of each;
(b) an itemization of contract requirements that must be changed if the
proposal is adopted;
SP118/041884
GP-26
(c) a detailed est imate of the cost of performi ng the work under the
existing contract and under the proposed changes;
(d) a statement of the time by which a change order adopting the proposal
must be issued;
(e) a statement of the effect adopt ion of the proposal wi 11 have on the
time for completion of the contract; and,
(f) the contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including
any quantity variation attributable to them.
The Contractor may withdraw, in whole or in part, any cost reduction proposal
not accepted by the Engineer, within the period specified in the proposal. The
provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to require the Engineer to
consider any cost reduction proposal which may be submitted.
The Contractor shall continue to perform the work in accordance with the
requirements of the contract until a change order incorporating the cost reduc-
tion proposal has been issued. If a change order has not been issued by the
date upon which the Contractor's cost reduction proposal specifies that a deci-
sion should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have
requested in writing, such cost reduction proposal shall be deemed rejected.
The Engineer shall be the sole judge of the acceptability of a cost reduction
proposal and of the estimated net savings from the adoption of all or any p-art
of such proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the Engineer may
disregard the contract bid prices if, in the Engineer's judgement, such prices
do not represent a fair measure of the value of the work to be performed or
deleted.
The Owner may require the Contractor to share in the Owner's cost of investigat-
ing a cost reduction proposed submitted by the Contractor as a condition of con-
sidering such proposal. Where such a condition is imposed, the Contractor shall
acknowledge acceptance of it in writing. Such acceptance shall constitute full
authority for the Owner to deduct the cost of investigating a cost reduction
proposal from amounts payable to the Contractor under the contract.
If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part,
such acceptance will be by a contract change order which shall specifically
state that it is executed pursuant to this subsection. Such change order shall
incorporate the changes in the plans and specifications which are necessary to
permi t the cost reduct i on proposal or such part of it as has been accepted and
shall include any conditions upon which the Engineer's approval is based. The
change order shall also set forth the estimated net savings attributable to the
cost reduction proposal. The net savings shall be determined as the difference
in costs between the original contract costs for the work items and the costs
occurri ng as a resu It of the proposed change. The change order shalla 1 so
establish the net savings agreed upon and shall provide for adjustment in the
contract price that will divide the net savings equally between the Contractor
and the Owner.

The Contractor's 50 percent share of the net savings shall constitute full com-
pensation to the Contractor for the cost reduction proposal and the performance
of the work.
Acceptance of the cost-reduction proposal and performance of the cost-reduction
work shall not extend the time of completion of the contract unless specifically
provided for in the contract change order.

cooperate with the utility service or facility Owner and the Engineer contin-
uously until such damage has been repaired and service restored to the satisfac-
tion of the utility or faiclity Owner.
Such public or private utility services, FAA, or NOAA facilities, or utility
services of another governmental agency are not known to exist within the limits
of the contract work. Runway lighting cables are the only underground utilities
known to exist within the limits of the contract work.

Any inaccuracy or omission in such information shall not relieve the contractor
of his responsibility to protect such existing features from damage or unsched-
uled interruption of service.
The Contractor shall bear all costs of damage and restoration of service to any
utility service or facility due to his operations whether or not due to negli-
gence or accident. The Owner reserves the right to deduct such costs from any
monies due or which may become due the contractor or his surety.
70-16 FURNISHING RIGHTS-OF-WAY. The Owner will be responsible for furnishing
all rights-of-way upon which the work is to be constructed in advance of the
contractor's operations.
70-17 PERSONAL LIABILITY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. In carrying out any of the con-
tract provisions or in exercising any power or authority granted to him by this
contract, there shall be no liability upon the Engineer, his authorized repre-
sentatives, or any official of the Owner either personally or as an official of
the Owner. It is understood that in such matters they act solely as agents and
representatives of the Owner.
70-18 NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS. Upon completion of the work, the Owner will
expeditiously make final inspection and notify the contractor of final accept-
ance. Such final acceptance, however, shall not preclude or estop the Owner
from correcting any measurement, estimate, or certificate made before or after
completion of the work, nor shall the Owner be precluded or estopped from
recovering from the contractor or his surety, or both, such overpayment as may
be sustained, or by failure on the part of the contractor to fulfill his obliga-
t ions under the contract. A waiver on the part of the Owner of any breach of
any part of the contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or sub-
sequent breach.
The contractor, without prejudice to the terms of the contract, shall be liable
to the Owner for latent defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as may amount to
fraud, or as regards the Owner's rights under any warranty or guaranty.
70-19 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. The contractor shall comply with all federal,
state, and local laws and regulations controlling pollution of the environment.
He sha 11 take necessary precaut ions to prevent po 11 ut i on of streams, 1 akes,
ponds, and reservoirs with fuels, oils, bitumens, chemicals, or other harmful
materials and to prevent pollution of the atmosphere from particulate and gase-
ous matter.
70-20 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL FINDINGS. Unless otherwise specified in
this subsection, the contractor is advised that the site of the work is not
within any property, district, or site, and does not contain any building,
structure, or object listed in the current National Register of Historic Places
publiShed by the United States Department of the Interior.
Should the contractor encounter, during his operations, any building, part of a
bui lding, structure, or object which is incongruous with its surroundings, he
shall immediately cease operations in that location and notify the Engineer.
The Engineer will immediately investigate the contractor's finding and will
direct the contractor to either resume his operations or to suspend operations
as directed.
SP1l8/041884
GP-42
Should the Engineer order suspension of the contractor's operations in order to
protect an archaeological or historical finding, or order the contractor to per-
form extra work, such shall be covered by an appropriate contract modification
(change order or supplemental agreement) as provided in the subsection titled
PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of Section 90. If appropriate,
the contract modification shall include an extension of contract time in accord-
ance with the subsection titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME of
Section 80.
70-21 PROJECT INSPECTION BY OTHERS. The attention of the contractor is invited
to the fact that pursuant to a Jo i nt Part i c i pat i on Agreement between the State
of Florida, Department of Transportation and the Owner, the State of Florida may
pay a portion of the cost of this improvement. The construction work and labor
shall be done in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida subject to the
inspection and approval of the State of Florida, Department of Transportation.
The construction work and materials, therefore, will be subject to such inspec-
tion by the State of Florida, Department of Transportation or its agents as may
be deemed necessary, but such inspection will in no sense make the State of
Florida, Department of Transportation a party to this contract and wi 11 in no
way interfere with the rights of either party to the contract.

SECTION 80
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
80-01 SUBLETTING OF CONTRACT. The Owner will not recognize any subcontractor on
the work. The contractor shall at all times when work is in progress be repre-
sented either in person, by a qualified superintendent, or by other designated,
qualified representative who is duly authorized to receive and execute orders of
the Engineer.
Should the contractor elect to assign his contract, said assignment shall be
concurred in by the surety, shall be presented for the consideration and
approval of the Owner, and shall be consummated only on the written approval of
the Owner. In case of approval, the contractor shall file copies of all subcon-
tracts with the Engineer.
The contractor wi 11 be permi tted to sub let port ions of the work to competent
subcontractors, but the Owner wi 11 not recogn i ze any subcontractor on the work
and will in all matters deal only with the contractor or his authorized repre-
sentat ive. The contractor shall, before enteri ng into any subcontract, submit
to the Engineer in writing, the name and address of the subcontractor and state-
ment of the exact nature and extent of the work to be sublet. The Engineer1s
approval must be obtained before concluding the intended subcontractual agree-
ment. If at any time during the progress of the work, the Engineer determines
that any subcontractor is incompetent or otherwise unsatisfactory, he will
notify the contractor accordingly and the latter shall take immediate steps to
cance 1 such subcontract. The contractor shall cause appropri ate provi s ions to
be inserted in all subcontracts relative to the work to bind subcontractors to
the contractor by the terms of the Genera 1 Provi s ions and other contract docu-
ments insofar as applicable to the work of subcontractors and to give the con-
tractor the same power as regards terminating any subcontract that the Owner may
exercise over the contractor under any provision of the contract documents.
Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any contractual rela-
tion between the Owner and any subcontractor.
80-02 NOTICE TO PROCEED. The Owner wi 11 instruct the contractor to prepare and
submit a detailed project plan to establish a schedule for issue of a Notice to
Proceed for project construction. The plan shall account for mobilization time
for equipment and work force including subcontractors; the ordering, acquis-
ition, stock piling and testing of materials; and the necessary coordination
with other contractors where required. Each principal item of work included in
the project shall be identified. The plan shall be reviewed and approved by the
Engineer.
Upon approval of the project plan, the Owner shall issue a Notice to Procure.
This notice shall authorize and direct the contractor to place orders for all
materials and equipment which are required to complete the entire project. Long
lead time items shall be coordinated in the project plan to avoid unnecessary
delays in issue of the Notice to Proceed for active project construction work.
The contractor shall notify the Engineer when all materials and equipment have
SPl18/041884
GP-44
been received and stored in accordance with the General Provisions. It is the
obligation of the contractor to advise the Engineer weekly of progress according
to the approved project plan, and to not i fy of de 1 i nquenc i es that wi 11 de 1 ay
issue of the Notice to Proceed.
After issuance of the Notice to Proceed for construction, the value of the mate-
rial and equipment procured for the contract may be included in the first
monthly partial payment estimate. The value will be established by submission
of invoices to the Engineer by the contractor.
The Notice to Proceed shall state the date on which it is expected the
Contractor will begin the construction and from which date contract time will be
charged. The contractor shall begin the work to be performed under the contract
within 10 days of the date set by the Engineer in the written Notice to Proceed,
but in any event, the contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in
advance of the time actual construction operations will begin.
80-03 PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor
shall submit his progress schedule for the Engineer's approval within 10 days
after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed. The contractor's progress
schedule, when approved by the Engineer, may be used to establish major con-
struction operations and to check on the progress of the work. The Contractor
shall provide sufficient materials, equipment, and labor to guarantee the com-
pletion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications within
the time set forth in the proposal.
If the contractor falls significantly behind the submitted schedule, the
Contractor shall, upon the Engineer's request, submit a revised schedule for
completion of the work within the contract time and modify his operations to
provide such additional materials, equipment, and labor necessary to meet the
revised schedule. Should the prosecution of the work be discontinued for any
reason, the contractor shall notify the Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of
resuming operations.
For AlP contracts, the contractor shall not commence any actual construction
prior to the date on which the Notice to Proceed is issued by the Owner.
80-04 LIMITATION OF OPERATIONS. The contractor shall control his operations and
the operations of his subcontractors and all suppliers so as to provide for the
free and unobstructed movement of aircraft in the AIR OPERATIONS AREAS of the
airport.
When the work requires the contractor to conduct his operations within an AIR
OPERATIONS AREA of the airport, the work shall be coordinated with the airport
management (through the Engineer) at least 48 hours prior to commencement of
such work. The contractor shall not c lose an AIR OPERATIONS AREA until so
authorized by the Engineer, or the Chairman, Airport Committee, and unti 1 the
necessary temporary marking and associated lighting is in place as provided in
the subsection titled BARRICADES, WARNING SIGNS, AND HAZARD MARKINGS of Section
70.
When the contract work requires the contractor to work within an AIR OPERATIONS
AREA of the airport on an intermittent basis (intermittent opening and closing
SP118/041884
GP-45
of the AIR OPERATIONS AREA), the contractor shall maintain constant two-way
communications on UNICOM, frequency 122.8 Mhz. Failure to maintain the speci-
fied communications or to obey instructions shall be cause for suspension of the
contractor's operations in the AIR OPERATIONS AREA until the satisfactory condi-
tions are provided.
The construction work shall be accomplished in such a manner that the runways
are subject to closure only during the times required for construction. A least
two ope rat i ona 1 runways with thresho 1 d proper ly di sp 1 aced in accordance with
Project Safety Requirement, Section 51, shall be available for use during the
construction project.
80-05 CHARACTER OF WORKERS, METHODS, AND EQUIPMENT. The contractor shall at all
times employ sufficient labor and equipment for prosecuting the work to full
completion in the manner and time required by the contract, plans, and specifi-
cations.
All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the
work assigned to them. Workers engaged in special work or skilled work shall
have sufficient experience in such work and in the operation of the equipment
required to perform the work satisfactorily.
Any person employed by the contractor or by any subcontractor who, in the
opinion of the Engineer, does not perform his work in a proper and skillful
manner or is intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written request of the
Engineer, be removed forthwith by the contractor or subcontractor employing such
person, and sha 11 not be emp loyed aga in in any port i on of the work without the
approval of the Engineer.
Should the contractor fai 1 to remove such person or persons or fai 1 to furnish
suitable and sufficient personnel for the proper prosecution of the work, the
Engineer may suspend the work by written notice until compliance with such
orders.
All equipment which is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient
size and in such mechanical condition as to meet the requirements of the work
and to produce a satisfactory quality of work. Equipment used on any portion of
the work shall be such that no injury to previously completed work, adjacent
property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the contractor in accomplishing the
work are not prescribed in the contract, the contractor is free to use any
methods or equipment that will accomplish the work in conformity with the
requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such
methods and equipment shall be used unless others are authorized by the
Engineer. If the contractor desires to use a method or type of equipment other
than specified in the contract, he may request authority from the Engineer to do
so. The request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the
methods and equipment proposed and of the reasons for desiring to make the
change. If approval is given, it will be on the condition that the contractor
will be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with contract
SP118/041884
GP-46
requirements. If, after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the
Engineer determines that the work produced does not meet contract requirements,
the contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or equipment
and shall complete the remaining work with the specified methods and equipment.
The contractor shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of
specified quality, or take such other corrective action as the Engineer may
direct. No changes wi 11 be made in bas i s of payment for the contract items
involved nor in contract time as a result of authorizing a change in methods or
equipment under this subsection.
80-06 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK. The Engineer shall have the authority
to suspend the work wholly, or in part, for such period or periods as he may
deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather, or such other conditions as are con-
sidered unfavorable for the prosecution of the work, or for such time as is
necessary due to the failure on the part of the contractor to carry out orders
given or perform any or all provisions of the contract.
In the event that the contractor is ordered by the Engineer, in writing, to
suspend work for some unforeseen cause not otherwise provided for in the con-
tract and over which the contractor has no control, the contractor may be reim-
bursed for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown. No
allowance will be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be
computed from the effective date of the Engineer's order to suspend work to the
effective date of the Engineer's order to resume the work. Claims for stJch
compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time period stated in
the Engineer's order to resume work. The contractor shall submit with his claim
information substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will
forward the contractor's claim to the Owner for consideration in accordance with
local laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be construed as
entitling the contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather,
for suspens ions made at the request of the contractor, or for any other de 1 ay
provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the
Contractor shall store all materials in such manner that they will not become an
obstruct i on nor become damaged in any way. He shall take every precaut i on to
prevent damage or deteri orat i on of the work performed and pro v i de for norma 1
dra i nage of the work. The contractor shall erect temporary structures where
necessary to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
80-07 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of calendar or
working days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal
and contract and shall be known as the CONTRACT TIME.
Should the contract time require extension for reasons beyond the contractor's
control, it shall be adjusted as follows:
(a) CONTRACT TIME based on CALENDAR DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the
Engineer. The Engineer will furnish the contractor a copy of his weekly state-
ment of the number of calendar days charged against the contract time during the
week and the number of calendar days currently specified for completion of the
contract (the original contract time plus the number of calendar days, if any,
that have been i nc 1 uded in approved CHANGE ORDERS or SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
covering EXTRA WORK.
SP118/041884
GP-47
.......""""'~.,...,'"..".".,"".""'".,,.,,"-..,,;"..M'._..,
The Engineer shall base his weekly statement of contract time charged on the
following considerations:
(1) No time shall be charged for days on which the contractor is
unable to proceed with the principal item of work under construction at the time
for at least 6 hours with the normal work force employed on such principal item.
Should the normal work force be on a double shift, 12 hours shall be used.
Should the normal work force be on a triple shift, 18 hours shall apply. Condi-
t ions beyond the contractor's control such as strikes, lockouts, unusual delays
in transportation, temporary suspension of the principal item of work under con-
struction or temporary suspension of the entire work which have been ordered by
the Engineer for reasons not the fau lt of the contractor, shall not be charged
against the contract time.
(2) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time
prior to the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
(3) The Engineer will begin charges against the contract time on the
first working day after the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.
(4) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time after
the date of final acceptance as defined in the subsection titled FINAL
ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
(5) The contractor will be allowed 1 week in which to file a written
protest setting forth his objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no
objection is filed within such specified time, the weekly statement shall be
considered as acceptable to the contractor.
The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated
quantities as described in the subsection titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED
PROPOSAL QUANTITIES of Section 20. Should the satisfactory completion of the
contract require performance of work in greater quantities than those estimated
in the proposal, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as
the cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the origin-
ally estimated quantities in the proposal. Such increase in contract time shall
not consider either the cost of work or the extension of the contract time that
has been covered by change order or supplemental agreement and shall be made at
the time of final payment.
80-08 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. For each calendar day or working day, as
specified in the contract, that any work remains uncompleted after the contract
.time (including all extensions and adjustments as provided in the subsection
titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME of this Section) the sum
specified in the contract and proposal as liquidated damages will be deducted
from any money due or to become due the contractor or his surety. Such deducted
sums shall not be deducted as a penalty, but shall be considered as liquidation
of a reasonable portion of damages, such as extra work and expenses of the
Engineer and/or Resident Project Representative that wi 11 be incurred by the
Owner should the contractor fail to complete the work in the time provided in
his contract.
Permitting the contractor to discontinue and finish the work or any part of it
after the time fixed for its completion, or after the date to which time for
SP118/041884
GP-48
completion may have been extended, will in no way operate as a waiver on the
part of the Owner of any of its rights under the contract.
80-09 DEFAULT AND TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The contractor sha 11 be cons idered
in default of his contract and such default will be considered as cause for the
Owner to terminate the contract for any of the following reasons if the contrac-
tor:
(a) Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in
the "Notice to Proceed," or
(b) Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers,
equipment or materials to assure completion of work in accordance with the terms
of the contract, or
(c) Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials
or to perform anew such work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable,
or
(d) Discontinues the prosecution of the work, or
(e) Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable
time after notice to do so, or.
(f) Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bank-
ruptcy or insolvency, or
(g) Allows any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a
period of 10 days, or
(h) Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
(i) For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carryon the work in an
acceptable manner.
Should the Engineer consider the contractor in default of the contract for any
reason hereinbefore, he shall immediately give written notice to the contractor
and the contractor's surety as to the reasons for considering the contractor in
default and the Owner's intentions to terminate the contract.
If the contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does
not proceed in accordance therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notifica-
tion from the Engineer of the facts of such delay, neglect, or default and the
contractor's failure to comply with such notice, have full power and authority
without violating the contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the
hands of the contractor. The Owner may appropriate or use any or all materials
and equipment that have been mobilized for use in the work and are acceptable
and may enter into an agreement for the completion of said contract according to
the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods as in the opinion of
the Engineer will be required for the completion of said contract in an accept-
able manner.
All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of com-
pleting the work under contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which
SP118/041884
GP-49
....',...."~~,,~,...,.,
may become due to the contractor. If such expense exceeds the sum which would
have been payable under the contract, then the contractor and the surety shall
be liable and shall pay to the Owner the amount of such excess.
80-10 TERMINATION FOR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. The Owner shall terminate the con-
tract or portion thereof by written notice when the contractor is prevented from
proceeding with the construction contract as a direct result of an Executive
Order of the President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest
of national defense.
When the contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of
all items of work in the contract, payment will be made for the actual number of
units or items of work completed at the contract price or as mutually agreed for
items of work partially completed or not started. No claims or loss of antici-
pated profits shall be considered.
Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, (when
not otherwise included in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to
and from the job will be considered, the intent being that an equitable settle-
ment will be made with the contractor.
Acceptab 1 e mater i a 1 s, obta i ned or ordered by the contractor for the work and
that are not incorporated in the work shall, at the option of the contractor, be
purchased from the contractor at actual cost as shown by receipted bills and
actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be designated by the
Engineer.
Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the
Contractor of his responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve
his surety of its obligation for and concerning any just claim arising out of
the work performed.
SP118/041884
GP-50
SECTION 90
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the contract will be
measured by the Engineer, or his authorized representatives, using United States
Customary Units of Measurement.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quan-
tities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract wi 11 be
those methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will
be made horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or
leave-outs) having an area of 9 square feet or less. Unless otherwise speci-
fied, transverse measurements for area computations will be the neat dimensions
shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures wi 11 be measured accord i ng to neat 1 i nes shown on the plans or as
altered to fit field conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear
foot such as electrical ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar
items shall be measured parallel to the base or foundation upon which such items
are placed.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds avoirdupois.
All materials which are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on
accurate, approved scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations desig-
nated by the Engineer. If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be
accepted provided that only the actual weight of material be paid for. However,
car weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing
plants. Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall be weighed
empty daily at such times as the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a
plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in
approved vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for
th i s purpose may be of any size or type acceptab 1 e to the Eng i neer, pro v i ded
that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and
accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water
level capacity and all loads shall be leveled when vehicles arrive at the point
of delivery.
When requested by the contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, mate-
rial specified to be measured by the cubic yard may be weighed and such weights
will be converted to cubic yards for payment purposes. Factors for conversion
from weight measurements to volume measurement will be determined by the
Engineer and shall be agreed to by the contractor before such method of measure-
ment of pay quantities is used.
SP1l8/041884
GP-51
Bituminous materials wi 11 be measured by the gallon or ton. When measured by
volume, such volumes will be measured at 60~F or will be corrected to the volume
at 600F using ASTM 0 1250 for asphalts or ASTM 0 633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of
rail shipments will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction
when bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted,
or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified
weights by volume, subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for
computing quantities.
When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, 1I1ump sumll work) is
specified as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all
necessary fittings and accessories.
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates,
rolled shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gauge, unit
weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be
nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances
in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries
involved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured
and paid for by weight shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the con-
tractor, or be certified permanently installed commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight through-
out the range of use. The contractor shall have the scales checked under the
observation of the inspector before beginning work and at such other times as
requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the graduated
or marked length of the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of one per-
cent of the nominal rated capacity of the scale, but not less than one pound.
The use of spring balances will not be permitted.
Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the
operator and inspector can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have avai lable, ten standard fifty-pound weights for
testing the weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices or other approved
equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site.
Platform scales shall be installed and maintained with the platform level and
rigid bulkheads at each end.
Scales lIoverweighingll (indicating more than correct weight) will not be per-
mitted to operate and all materials received subsequent to the last previous
correct weighing-accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in
excess of one-half of one percent.
SP118/041884
GP-52
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating
less than correct weight) they shall be adjusted and no additional payment to
the contractor will be allowed for materials previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and
maintaining scales; for furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all
other items specified in this subsection, for the weighing of materials for pro-
portioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for the
various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated
as the pay quantities in the contract, they shall be the final quantities for
which payment for such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the
dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the
Engineer. If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quan-
tities of such work, the final quantities for payment will be revised in the
amount represented by the authorized changes in the dimensions.
90-02 SCOPE OF PAYMENT. The contractor sha 11 recei ve and accept compensat i on
provided for in the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for
performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and
for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever character arising out of the
nature of the work or the prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions of the
subsection titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the "basis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires
that the contract price (price bid) include compensation for certain work or
material essential to the item, this same work or material will not also be
measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear elsewhere in
the contract, plans, or specifications.
90-03 COMPENSATION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES. When the accepted quantities of work
vary from the quantities in the proposal, the contractor shall accept as payment
in full, so far as contract items are concerned, payment at the original con-
tract price for the accepted quantities of work actually completed and accepted.
No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection titled ALTERATION OF WORK
AND QUANTITIES of Section 40 wi 11 be made for any increased expense, loss of
expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or c 1 aimed by
the contractor which results directly from such alterations or indirectly from
his unbalanced allocation of overhead and profit among the contract items, or
from any other cause.
90-04 PAYMENT FOR OMITTED ITEMS. As specified in the subsection titled OMITTED
ITEMS of Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work
(order nonperformance) any contract item, except major contract items, in the
best interest of the Owner.
Should the Engineer omit or order nonperformance of a contract item of portion
of such item from the work, the contractor shall accept payment in full at the
contract prices for any work actually completed and acceptable prior to the
Engineer's order to omit or nonperform such contract item.
SP118/041884
GP-53
Acceptable materials ordered by the contractor or delivered on the work prior to
the date of the Engineer's order will be paid for at the actual cost to the

The additional payment, based on the percentages specified above, shall consti-
tute full compensation for all items of expense not specifically provided for
the force account work. The total payment made as provided above shall consti-
tute full compensation for such work.
90-05 PARTIAL PAYMENTS. Partial payments will be made at least once each month
as the work progresses. Said payments will be based upon estimates prepared by
the Engineer of the value of the work performed and materials complete in place
in accordance with the contract, plans, and specifications. Such partial pay-
ments may also include the delivered actual cost of those materials stockpiled
and stored in accordance with the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON
HAND of this section.
No part i a 1 payment wi 11 be made when the amount due the contractor since the
last estimate amounts to less than five hundred dollars.
From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a partial payment, 10
percent of such tota 1 amount wi 11 be deducted and reta i ned by the Owner unt i 1
the final payment is made except, as may be provided (at the contractor's
option) in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section. The
balance (90 percent) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be
certified for payment. Should the contractor exercise his option, as provided
in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such 10
percent retainage shall be deducted.
When not less than 95% of the work has been completed the Engineer may, at his
discretion and with the consent of the surety, prepare an estimate from which
wi 11 be retained an amount not less than twice the contract value or estimated
cost, wh i chever is greater, of the work remain i ng to be done. The rema i nder,
less all previous payments and deductions, will then be certified for payment to
the contractor.
It is understood and agreed that the contractor Shall not be entitled to demand
or receive partial payment based on quantities of work in excess of those pro-
vided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders or supplemental
agreements, except when such excess quantities have been determined by the
Engineer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question.
No partial payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or
work in place as to quality or quantity. All partial payments are subject to
correction at the time of final payment as provided in the section titled
ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section.
90-07 PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS ON HAND. Partial payments may be made to the extent
of the delivered cost of materials to be incorporated in the work, provided that
such materials meet the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications
and are delivered to acceptable sites on the airport property or at other sites
in the viCinity that are acceptable to the Owner. Such delivered costs of
stored or stockpiled materials may be included in the next partial payment after
the following conditions are met:
.
(a) The materi a 1 has been stored or stockpi led in a manner acceptab le to
the Engineer at or on an approved site.

that the material and transportation costs have been paid.
(d) The contractor has furnished the Owner legal title (free of liens or
encumbrances of any kind) to the material so stored or stockpiled.
(e) The contractor has furnished the Owner evidence that the material so
stored or stockpiled is insured against loss by damage to or disappearance of
such materials at any time prior to use in the work.
It is understood and agreed that the transfer of title and the Owner's payment
for such stored or stockpiled materials shall in no way relieve the contractor
of his responsibility for furnishing and placing such materials in accordance
with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
In no case will the amount of partial payments for materials on hand exceed the
contract price for such materials or the contract price for the contract item in
which the material is intended to be used.
No partial payment will be made for stored or stockpiled living or perishable
plant materials.
The contractor shall bear all costs associated with the partial payment of
stored or stockpiled materials in accordance with the provisions of this subsec-
tion.
90-08 PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS. At the Contractor's option, he/she may request
that the Owner except (in lieu of the 10 percent retainage on partial payments
described in the subsection titled PARTIAL PAYMENTS of this section) the
Contractor's deposits in escrow under the following conditions:
(a) The Contractor shall bear all expenses of establishing and maintaining
an escrow account and escrow agreement acceptable to the Owner.
(b) The Contractor shall deposit to, and maintain in, such escrow only
those securities or bank certificates of deposit as are acceptable to the Owner
and having a value of not less than the 10 percent retainage that would other-
wise be withheld from partial payment.
(c) The Contractor shall enter into an escrow agreement satisfactory to
the Owner.
(d) The Contractor shall obtain the written consent of the surety to such
agreement.
90-09 ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT. Before the final payment is made, the

Before acceptance and final payment is made, the Contractor shall furnish to the
Owner a guarantee to remain in full force and affect for a period of one (1)
year from the date of the acceptance of the project by the Owner which shall
provide that the Contractor shall repair or replace for said period of one year,
all work performed and materials and equipment furnished that were not performed
or furnished according to the terms of the contract, and make good all defects
thereof that have become apparent before the expiration of one year. Such
guarantees shall be covered by the surety bond. If any part of the project, in
the opinion of the Engineer for the reasons stated above, needs to be replaced,
repaired or made good during that time, he shall so notify the Cotnractor in
writing. If the Contractor refuses or neglects to do such work within five (5)
days from the date of service of such notice, the Engineer shall have the work
done by others and the cost thereof sha 11 be paid by the Contractor or his
surety. Before that surety bond is release, the Engineer shall certify, in
writing, that the foregoing obligations have been fully discharged.
When the contract work has been accepted in accordance with the requirements of
the subsection titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50, the Engineer will prepare
the final estimate of the items of work actually performed. The contractor
shall approve the Engineer's final estimate or advise the Engineer of his objec-
tions to the final estimate which are based on disputes in measurements or com-
putat ions of the fi na 1 quant i ties to be paid under the contract as amended by
change order or supplemental agreement. The contractor and Engineer shall
resolve all disputes (if any) in the measurement and computation of final quan-
tities to be paid within thirty (30) calendar days of the contractor's receipt
of the Engineer1s final estimate. If, after such thirty-day period, a dispute
st ill ex i sts, the contractor may approve the Engi neer I s est imate under protest
of the quantities in dispute and such disputed quantities shall be considered by
the Owner as a claim in accordance with the subsection titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUST-
MENT AND DISPUTES of Section 50.
After the contractor has approved, or approved under protest, the Engineer1s
final estimate, final payment will be processed based on the entire sum, or the
undisputed sum in case of approval under protest, determined to be due the con-
tractor less all previous payments and all amounts to be deducted under the pro-
visions of the contract. All prior partial estimates and payments shall be sub-
ject to correction in the final estimate and payment.
If the contractor has filed a claim for additional compensation under the pro-
visions of the subsection titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND DISPUTES of Section
50 or under the provisions of this subsection, such claims will be considered by
the Owner in accordance with local laws or ordinances. Upon final adjudication
of such claims, any additional payment determined to be due the contractor will
be paid pursuant to a supplemental, final estimate.

Description
152-1.1 This item covers excavation~ disposa1~ placement, and compaction of all
materials within the limits of the work required to construct electrical vault
in accordance with these specifications and in conformity to the dimensions and
typical section shown on the plans.
All test boring data shown on plans is for the information of the Contractor
only and is not a guarantee of existing conditions. Each bidder shall
investigate the site sufficiently to satisfy himself in this regard prior to
bidding. Copies of the boring logs together with laboratory and field soil
tests are available for inspection at the assistant city manager's office and
the Engineer's office~ Post~ Buck1ey~ Schuh & Jernigan~ Inc.~ 889 N. Orange
Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32801.
152-1. 2 CLASSIFICATION. All materi a 1 excavated shall be class ified as defined
below:
(a) Unclassified Excavation. Unclassified excavation shall consist of the
excavation and disposal of all material, regardless of its nature~ which is not
otherwise classified and paid for under the following items.
(b) Rock Excavation. Rock excavation shall include all solid rock in
1edges~ in bedded deposits~ in unstratified masses, and conglomerate deposits
whiCh are so firmly cemented they cannot be removed without blasting or using
rippers. All boulders containing a volume of more than 1/2 cubic yard will be
classified as "rock excavation."
(c) Muck Excavation. Muck excavation shall consist of the removal and
disposal of deposits of mixtures of soils and organic matter not suitable for
foundation material. Muck shall include materials which will decay or produce
subsidence in the embankment. It may be made up of decaying stumps~ roots,
logs, humus, or other material not satisfactory for incorporation in the
embankment.
(d) Drainage Excavation. Drainage excavation shall consist of all
excavation made for the primary purpose of drainage and includes drainage
ditches~ such as intercepting, inlet or outlet; temporary levee construction; or
any other type as shown on the plans.
(e) Borrow Excavation. Borrow excavation shall consist of approved
material required for the construction of embankment or for other portions of
the work in excess of the quantity of usable material available from required
excavations. Borrow material shall be obtained from areas within the limits of
the airport property but outside the normal limits of necessary grading~ or from
areas outside the airport.
All material excavated shall be considered "unclassified" unless the Engineer
specifies other classifications in the project specifications.
SP118A/031885
P-152-1
152-1.3 UNSUITABLE EXCAVATION. Any material containing vegetable or organic
matter, such as muck, peat, organic silt, or sod shall be considered unsuitable
for use in embankment construction. Material, when approved by the Engineer as
suitable to support vegetation, may be used on the embankment slope.
Construction Methods
152-2.1 GENERAL. Before beginning excavation, grading, and embankment
operations in any area, the area shall be completely cleared and grubbed in
accordance with Item P-151.
The suitability of material to be placed in embankments shall be subject to
approval by the Engineer. All unsuitable material shall be disposed of in waste
areas shown on the plans. All waste areas shall be graded to allow positive
drainage of the area and of adjacent areas. The surface elevation of waste
areas shall not extend above the surface elevation of adjacent usable areas of
the airport, unless specified on the plans or approved by the Engineer.
When the Contractor's excavating operations encounter artifacts of historical or
archeological significance, the operations shall be temporarily discontinued.
At the direction of the Engineer, the Contractor shall excavate the site in such
a manner as to preserve the artifacts encountered and allow for their removal.
Such excavation will be paid for as extra work.
Those areas outside of the pavement areas in which the top layer of soil
material has become compacted, by hauling or other activities of the Contractor
shall be scarified and disked to a depth of 4 inc1es in order, to loosen and
pulverize the soil.
If it is necessary to interrupt existing surface drainage, sewers or under-
drainage, conduits, utilities, or similar underground structures the Contractor
shall be responsible for and shall take all necessary precautions to preserve
them or provi de temporary serv ices. When such faci 1 it i es are encountered, the
Contractor shall notify the Engineer, who shall arrange for their removal if
necessary. They Contractor shall, at his/her own expense, satisfactorily repair
or pay the cost of all damage to such facilities or structures which may result
from any of the Contractor's operations during the period of the contract.
152-2.2 EXCAVATION. No excavation shall be started unti 1 the work has been
staked out by the Contractor and the Engineer has obtained elevations and
measurements of the ground surface. All suitab le excavated materi a 1 shall be
used in the formation of embankment, subgrade, or for other purposes shown on
the plans. All suitable material shall be disposed of as shown on the plans.
When the volume of the excavation exceeds that required to construct the
embankments to the grades indicated, the excess shall be used to grade the areas
of ultimate development or disposed of as directed. When the volume of
excavation is not sufficient for constructing the fill to the grades indicated,
the deficiency shall be obtained from borrow areas.
The grade shall be maintained so that the surface is well drained at all times.
When necessary, temporary drains and drainage ditches shall be installed to
intercept or divert surface water which may affect the work.
SPl18A/031885
P-152-2
(a) Selective Gradinq. When selective grading is indicated on the plans,
the more suitable material as designated by the Engineer shall be used in
constructing the embankment or in capping the pavement subgrade. If, at the
time of excavation, it is not possible to place this material in its final
location, it shall be stockpiled in approved areas so that it can be measured
for payment for rehandling as specified in Paragraph 3.3.
(b) Undercutting. Rock, shale, hardpan, loose rock, boulders, or other
material unsatisfactory for runway safety areas, subgrades, roads, shoulders, or
any areas intended for turfing shall be excavated to a minimum depth of 12
inches, or to the depth specified by the Engineer, below the subgrade. Muck,
peat, matted roots, or other yielding material, unsatisfactory for subgrade
foundation, shall be disposed of at locations shown on the plans. The excavated
area shall be refilled with suitable material, obtained from the grading
operations or borrow areas and thorough ly compacted by roll i ng. The necessary
refilling will constitute a part of the embankment. Where rock cuts are made
and refilled with selected material, any pockets created in the rock surface
shall be drained in accordance with the details shown on the plans.
The Engineer shall specify the appropriate class of excavation. If rock or
much excavation is not included under paragraph 1.2, unclassified excavation
should be specified.
The plans shall show details for draining pockets created in rock cuts.
(c) Overbreak. Overbreak, including slides, is that portion of any
material displaced or loosened beyond the finished work as planned or authorized
by the Engineer. The Engineer shall determine if the displacement of such
material was unavoidable and his/her decision shall be final. All overbreak
shall be graded or removed by the Contractor and disposed of as directed;
however, payment wi 11 not be made for the removal and di sposa 1 of overbreak
which the Engineer determines as avoidable. Unavoidable overbreak will be
classified as "Unclassified Excavation."
(d) Removal of Utilities. The removal of existing structures and
utilities required to permit the orderly progress of work will be accomplished
by someone other than the Contractor, e.g., the utility unless otherwise shown
on the plans. All existing foundations shall be excavated for at least 2 feet
below the top of sub grade or as indicated on the plans, and the material
disposed of as directed. All foundations thus excavated shall be backfilled
with suitable material and compacted as specified herin.
(e) Compact i on Requ i rements. The subgrade under areas to be paved sha 11
be compacted to a depth of 17 inches and to a dens i ty of not 1 ess than 100
percent of the maximum density as determined by ASTM 0-698.
Payment for suitable materials removed, manipulated, and replaced in order to
obtain the required depth of density will be paid for an unclassified
excavation.
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM 01556 or
ASTM 02167. Stones or rock fragments larger than 4 inches in their greatest
dimension will not be permitted in the top 6 inches of the subgrade. The
SP1l8A/031885
P-152-3
finished grading operations, conforming to the typical cross section, shall be
completed and maintained.
In cuts, all loose or protruding rocks on the back slopes shall be barred loose
or otherwise removed to line of finished grade of slope. All cut and fill
Slopes shall be uniformly dressed to the slope, cross section, and alignment
shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
Blasting will be permitted only when proper precautions are taken for the safety
of all person, the work and the property. A 11 damage done to the work or
property shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense. All operations of the
Contractor in connection with the transportation, storage, and use of explosives
shall conform to all State and local regulations and explosive manufacturers'
instructions, with applicable approved permits reviewed by the Engineer. Any
approval given, however, will not relieve the Contractor or his responsibility
in blasting operations.
Where blasting is approved, the Contractor shall employ a vibration consultant,
approved by the Engineer, to advise on explosive charge weights per delay and to
analyze records from seismograph recordings. The seismograph shall be capable
of producing a permanent record of the three components of the motion in terms
of particle velocity, and in addition shall be capable of internal dynamic
calibration.
In each distinct blasting area, where pertinent factors affecting blast
vibrations and their effects in the area remain the same, the Contractor shall
submit a blasting plan of the initial blasts to Engineer for approval. This
plan must consist of hole size, depth, spacing, burden, type of explosives, type
of delay sequence, maximum amount of explosive on anyone delay period, depth of
rock, and depth of overburden if any. The maximum explosive charge weights per
delay included in the plan shall not be increased without the approval of the
Engineer.
The Contractor shall keep a record of each blast fi red -- its date, time and
location; the amount of explosives used, maximum explosive charge weight per
delay period, and, where necessary, seismograph records identified by instrument
number and location.
The necessary refi 11 i ng wi 11 constitute a part of the embankment. Where rock
cuts are made and refilled with selected material as specified, or where
trenching out is done to provide for a course of pavement, the depths thus
created shall be ditched at frequent intervals to provide adequate drainage.
The Contractor shall make the distribution as indicated on the plans. Widening
or narrowing of the section and raising or lowering of the grade to avoid haul
wi 11 not be permitted. The right is reserved to make minor adjustments or
revisions in lines or grades, if found necessary, as the work progresses due to
discrepancies in the plans or to obtain satisfactory construction.
Overbreak, including slides, is that portion of any material displaced or
loosened beyond the finished work as planned or authorized by the Engineer. The
Engineer shall determine if the displacement of such material was unavoidable
and his decision shall be final. All overbreak shall be removed by the
SP 118A/031885
P-152-4
Contractor and disposed of as directed; however, payment wi 11 not be made for
disposal of overbreak which the Engineer determines as avoidable. Unavoidable
overbreak will be classified as IIUnclassified Excavationll.
The removal of existing structures and utilities required to permit the orderly
progress of work will be accomplished by local agencies, unless otherwise shown
on the plans. All existing foundations shall be excavated for at least 2 feet
below the top of the subgrade and the material disposed of as directed. All
foundations thus excavated shall be backfilled with suitable material and
compacted.
In cut areas, the subgrade under areas to be paved shall be compacted to the
depths and to the dens it i es at opt i mum mo is ture as shown on the plans or as
specified in the specifications, or when not otherwise shown or specified, to a
minimum depth of 6 inches and to a density of not less than 95%, for cohesive
soils, and 100% for noncohesive soils, of the maximum density at optimum
moisture as determined by the compaction control tests specified in T-611. Any
unsuitable materials encountered shall be removed and paid for as specified.
No payment or measurement for payment will be made for suitable materials
removed, manipulated, and replaced in order to obtain density. Any removal,
manipulation, aeration, replacement, and recompaction of suitable materials
necessary to obtain the required density shall be considered as incidental to
the excavation and embankment operations, and shall be performed by the
Contractor at no additional cost to the project.
Stones or rock fragments larger than 4 inches in their greatest dimension will
not be permi t ted in the top 6 inches of the sub grade . The fi n i shed grad i ng
operations conforming to the typical cross section shall be completed and
maintained at least 1,000 feet ahead of the paving operations.
In cuts, all loose or protruding rocks on the back slopes shall be barred loose
or otherwise removed to line or finished grade of slope. All cut-and-fill
slopes shall be uniformly dressed up to the slope, cross section, and alignment
shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
Blasting, when necessary, will be permitted only when proper precautions are
taken for the protection and safety of all persons, the work, and the property.
A 11 damage done to the work or property shall be repaired at the Contractor IS
expense. All operations of the Contractor in connection with the
transportation, storage and use of explosives shall be approved by the Engineer.
Any approval given will not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility in
blasting operations.
152-2.3 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
152-2.4 DITCH EXCAVATION. Ditch excavation shall consist of excavating for
drainage ditches such as intercepting, inlet or outlet, temporary levee
construction, or any other type as designed or as shown on the plans. The work
sha 11 be performed in the proper sequence with the other construct i on. The
location of all ditches or levees shall be established on the ground. All
satisfactory material shall be placed in fills; unsatisfactory material shall be
disposed of as shown on plans or as directed. Intercepting ditches shall be

P-152-5
constructed prior to the starting of adjacent excavation operations. All
necessary handwork shall be performed to secure a finish true to line, ele-
vation, and cross section as designated.
Ditches constructed on the project shall be maintained to the required cross
section and shall be kept free from debris or obstructions until the project is
accepted. Where necessary, suffi c i ent open i ngs sha 11 be prov i ded through spo i1
banks to permit drainage from adjacent lands. Unless otherwise specified, no
separate payment wi 11 be made for ditch excavation other than for the materi a 1
removed which will be paid for at the unit price for "Unclassified Excavation."
152-2.5 PREPARATION OF EMBANKMENT AREA. Embankment areas shall be cleared and
grubbed in accordance with the requirements in Item P-151. All depressions or
holes below the ground surface, whether caused by grubbing or otherwise, shall
be backfilled with suitable material and compacted to ground surface before the
construction of the embankment will be permitted to start.
Immediately prior to the placing of the fill materials, the entire area upon
which the embankment is to be placed, except where limited by rock, shall be
scarified and broken by means of a disc harrow or plow, or other approved
equipment, to a depth of 6 inches. Scarifying shall be done approximately
parallel to the axis of the fill. All roots, debris, large stones, or
objectionable material that would cause interference with the compaction of the
foundation or fill shall be removed from the area and disposed of as directed.
A thin layer (approximately 3 inches) of the fill material shall be spread over
the scarified foundation and the whole area compacted as required in the
specifications.
Where embankments are to be placed on naturals lopes steeper than 3 to 1,
horizontal benches shall be constructed as shown on the plans or as directed by
the Engineer. Suitable excavated material shall be incorporated in embankments.
Payment will be made for the material excavated at the unit price for grading.
No direct payment shall be made for the work performed under this section. The
necessary clearing and grubbing and the yardage removed or used will be paid for
under the respective item of work.
152-2.6 STRIPPING. All vegetation such as brush, heavy sods, heavy growth of
grass, decayed vegetable matter, rubbish, and any other unsuitable material
within the area upon which embankment is to be placed shall be stripped or
otherwise removed before the embankment is started, and in no case shall such
objectionable material be allowed in or under the embankment. No direct payment
will be made for stripping. The yardage removed and disposed of shall be paid
for at the contract unit price per cubic yard for "Unclassified Excavation".
152-2.7 FORMATION OF EMBANKMENTS. Embankments shall be formed of satisfactory
materials placed in successive horizontal layers of not more than 8 inches in
loose depth for the full width of the cross section.
The grading operations shall be conducted, and the various soil strata shall be
placed, to produce a soil structure as shown on the typical cross section or as
directed. All materials entering the embankment shall be reasonably free of
organic matter such as leaves, grass, roots, and other objectionable material.

the 1 ayer sha 11 be requ ired. Shou 1 d the materi a 1 be too wet to permi t proper
compaction or rolling, all work on the portions of the embankment thus affected
shall be delayed until the material has dried to the required moisture content.
Sprinkling shall be done with approved equipment that will sufficiently
distribute the water. Sufficient equipment to furnish the required water shall
be available at all times. Samples of all embankment materials for testing,
both before and after placement and compaction, will be taken at frequent
intervals. From these tests, corrections, adjustments, and modifications of
methods, materials, and moisture content will be made to construct the
embankment.
Rolling operations shall be continued until the embankment is compacted to not
less than 95% for noncohesive soils, and 90% for cohesive soils of the maximum
density, at optimum moisture, as determined by the compaction control tests T-
611. Under all areas to be paved, the embankment shall be compacted to the
depths and to the densities at optimum moisture as shown on the plans or as
specified in the specifications, or, when not otherwise shown or specified, to a
minimum depth of 9 inches and to a density of not less than 95% for cohesive
soils, and 100% for noncohesive soils, of the maximum density at optimum
moisture as determined by the compaction control tests specified in T-611. On
all areas outside of the pavement areas, no compaction will be required on the
top 4 inches. Any areas inaccessible to a roller shall be consolidated and
compacted by meChanical tampers.
During construction of the embankment, the Contractor shall route his equipment
at all times, both when loaded and when empty, over the layers as they are
placed and shall distribute the travel evenly over the entire width of the
embankment. The equipment shall be operated in such a manner that hardpan,
cemented gravel, clay, or other chunky soil material will be broken up into
small particles and become incorporated with the other material in the layer.
In the construction of embankments, starting layers shall be placed in the
deepest portion of the fi 11; as placement progresses, layers shall be con-
structed approximately parallel to the finished pavement grade line.
When rock and other embankment material are excavated at approximately the same
time, the rock shall be incorporated into the outer portion of the embankment
and the other material shall be incorporated under the future paved areas.
Stones or fragmentary rock larger than 4 inches in their greatest dimension will
not be allowed in the top 6 inches of the subgrade. Rockfi 11 shall be brought
up in 1 ayers as spec ifi ed or as di rected and every effort sha 11 be exerted to
fill the voids with the finer material to form a dense, compact mass. Rock or

except at places and in the manner designated by the Engineer.
Frozen materi a 1 sha 11 not be placed in the embankment nor sha 11 embankment be
placed upon frozen material.
The Contractor shall be respons ib 1e for the stabil ity of all embankments made
under the contract and shall replace any portion which, in the opinion of the
Engineer) has become displaced due to carelessness or negligence on the part of
the Contractor.
There wi 11 be no separate measurement or payment for compacted embankment) and
all costs incidental to placing in layers) compacting, discing, watering)
mixing, sloping, and other necessary operations of the embankments will be
included in the contract price for excavation.
When stockpiling of excavated material and later rehandling of such material is
directed by the Engineer in order to produce the specified subgrade structure,
the material shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard for
"Unc1assified Excavation" or "Common Excavation".
152-2.8 EQUIPMENT. The Contractor may use any type of earth moving) compaction,
and watering equipment he may desire or has at his disposal, provided the
equipment is in a satisfactory condition and is of such capacity that the
construction schedule can be maintained as planned by the Contractor and as
approved by the Engineer in accordance with the total calendar days or working
days bid for the construction. The Contractor shall furnish, operate, and
maintain such equipment as is necessary to control uniform density, layers)
section) and smoothness of grade.
152-2.9 PREPARATION AND PROTECTION OF THE TOP OF SUBGRADE. On areas to be
paved, the specified depth in cut areas and the top half of embankment shall be
compacted to the density specified. When completed) the surface shall be true
to the lines) grades) and cross section shown on the plans or as directed by the
Engi neer. After all drains) structures, ducts) and other underground
appurtenances along the edges or under the pavement have been completed) the
subgrade shall be compacted to the depth specified at not less than 95% density
for cohesive soils and 100% for noncohesive soils) as determined by the
compaction control tests specified in T-611. Any irregularities or depressions
that develop under rolling shall be corrected by loosening the material at these
places and adding) removing, or replacing material until the surface is smooth
and uniform. Any portion of the area which is not accessible to a roller shall
be compacted to the required density by approved mechanical tampers. The
material shall be sprinkled with water during rolling or tamping) when directed
by the Engineer.
All soft and yielding material and material which will not compact readily when
rolled or tamped shall be removed as directed by the Engineer and replaced with
suitable material. After grading operations are complete, all loose stones
larger than 2 inches in their greatest dimension shall be removed from the
surface of all proposed graded paving areas and disposed of as directed by the
Engineer.
SP118A/031885
P-152-8
At all times, the top of the subgrade shall be kept in such condition that it
will drain readily and effectively. In handling materials, tools, and
equipment, the Contractor shall protect the subgrade from damage by laying
planks when directed and shall take other precautions as needed. In no case
will vehicles be allowed to travel in a single track. If ruts are formed, the
subgrade shall be reshaped and rolled. Storage or stockpiling of materials on
the top of the subgrade wi 11 not be permitted. Until the subgrade has been
checked and approved, no subbase, base, surface course, or pavement shall be
laid thereon.
152-2.10 HAUL. No payment will be made separately or directly for haul on any
part of the work. All hauling will be considered a necessary and incidental
part of the work and its cost shall be considered by the Contractor and included
in the contract unit price for the pay items of work involved.
152-2.11 TOLERANCES. In those areas upon which a subbase or base course is to
be placed, the top of the subgrade shall be of such smoothness that~ when tested
with a 16-foot straightedge applied parallel and at right angles to the
centerline, it shall not show any deviation in excess of 1/2 inch, or shall not
be more than 0.05 foot from true grade as established by grade hubs or pins.
Any deviation in excess of these amounts shall be corrected by loosening,
adding, or removing materials, reShaping, and recompacting by sprinkling and
rolling.
On landing strips, intermediate and other designated areas, the surface shall be
of such smoothness that it will not vary more than 0.10 of a foot from true
grade as established by grade hubs. Any deviation in excess of this amount
shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing materials, and reshaping.
152-2.12 TESTING. Compaction tests as directed by the Engineer to determine in
place densities of embankment according to the sand cone method, ASTM-D-1156,
will be made by a testing laboratory and paid for by the owner. The Contractor
shall give 24 hours advance notice when tests are to be required. The
Contractor will pay the owner the actual cost of each test requested that fails
to meet the contract requirements.
152-2.13 SOIL EROSION. The Contractor wi 11 be responsible for prevention of
soil erosion during construction to the maximum extent possible.
Construction shall include temporary pollution control meas'ures to ensure that
soil erosion which might cause water pollution is kept to a minimum. SUCh
measures may consist of berms, dikes, dams, drains and sediment basins. Drains
and channels are described in Advisory Circular 150/5320-58.
At the preconstruct ion conference, or prior to the start of the applicable
construction, the Contractor will be required to submit for acceptance his
schedules for accomplishment of temporary erosion and pollution controf work.
He sha 11 a 1 so submit for acceptance his proposed method of eros i on contro 1 on
haul roads and borrow pits and his plan for disposal of waste materials or
erosion control details for other potential sources of pollution. To the extent
that such work is predictable, the specifications should identify erosion and
pollution control items so that the Contractor may consider them in the bid.
SP118A/031885
P-152-9
The Contractor will be required to complete all permanent erosion control
features at the earliest practicable time. Temporary pollution control measures
shall be used to correct unforeseen conditions that occur during construction or
those that are needed pr i or to comp 1 et i on of permanent measures. These shou 1 d
include possible use of temporary grass cover and check dams for erosion
control.
The Engineer should limit the surface area or erodible earth material exposed by
clearing and grubbing, excavation or borrow and fill operations and require
immediate installation of temporary pollution control measures to prevent
contamination of adjacent streams or other watercourses, lakes or ponds. The
Engineer's authority to order such work will be used for situations not foreseen
by the plans and specifications.
In the event that temporary erosion and pollution control measures are required
due to the Contractor's negligence, carelessness, or failure to install
permanent controls in a timely manner, such work will be performed by the
Contractor at his own expense. In case of repeated failures on the part of the
Contractor to control erosion/pollution, right is reserved to the Engineer to
emp loy outs i de ass i stance to pro v i de the necessary corrective measures. Such
incurred costs, plus related Engineering costs, will be charged to the
Contractor and appropriate deductions made from the Contractor's progress
payments. The eras i on contra 1 features i nsta 11 ed by the Contractor wi 11 be
acceptably maintained by the Contractor during the time that construction work
is being done.
Pollutants such as fuels, lubricants, bitumens, raw sewage, and other harmful
materials will not be discharged into or near rivers, streams and impoundments
or into natural or manmade channels leading thereto. Wash water or waste from
concrete mixing or curing operations will not be allowed to enter live streams,
etc.

ITEM P-154 SUBBASE COURSE
Description
154-1.1 This item shall consist of a subbase course composed of granular mate-
rials constructed on a prepared subgrade or underlying course in accordance with
these specifications, and in conformity with the dimensions and typical cross
section shown on the plans.
Materials
154-2.1 MATERIALS. The subbase material shall consist of hard durable particles
or fragments of granular aggregates. This material will be mixed or blended
with fine sand, clay, stone dust, or other similar binding or filler materials
produced from approved sources. This mixture must be uniform and shall comply
with the requirements of these specifications as to gradation, soil constants,
and shall be capable of being compacted into a dense and stable subbase. The
material shall be free from vegetable matter, lumps or excessive amounts of
clay, and other objectionable or foreign substances. Pit-run material may be
used, provided the material meets the requirements specified.

The portion of the material passing the No. 40 sieve shall have a liquid limit
of not more than 25 and a plasticity index of not more than 6 when tested in
accordance with AASHO T 89 and T 90.
In those cases where frost penetration is a problem, the maximum amount of mate-
rial finer than 0.02 mm. in diameter shall be less than 3%.
Construction Methods
154-3.1 GENERAL. The subbase course shall be placed where des i gnated on the
plans or as directed by the engineer. The material shall be shaped and
thoroughly compacted within the tolerances specified.
Granular subbases which, due to grain sizes or shapes, are not sufficiently
stable to support without movement the construction equipment, shall be me-
chanically stabilized to the depth necessary to provide such stability as
SP118A/031485
P-154-1
directed by the engineer. The mechanical stabilization shall principally in-
clude the addition of a fine-grained medium to bind the particles of the subbase
material sufficiently to furnish a bearing strength, so that the course will
not deform under the traffic of the construction equipment. The addition of
the binding medium to the subbase material shall not increase the soil constants
of that material above the limits specified.
154-3.2 OPERATION IN PITS. All work involved in clearing and stripping pits and
handling unsuitable material encountered shall be performed by the contractor at
his own expense. The subbase material shall be obtained from pits or sources
that have been approved. The material in the pits shall be excavated and
handled in such a manner that a uniform and satisfactory product can be
secured.
154-3.3 EQUIPMENT. All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this
work shall be on the project, shall be in first-class working condition, and
shall have been approved by the engineer before construction is permitted to
start.
Provision shall be made by the contractor for furnishing water at the site of
the work using equipment of ample capacity and design to assure uniform applica-
tion.
The processing equipment shall be designed, constructed, and operated and shall
have sufficient capacity to thoroughly mix all materials and water in the
proportions required to produce a subbase course of the gradation and
consistency required.
154-3.4 PREPARING UNDERLYING COURSE. Before any subbase
underlying course shall be prepared and conditioned as
sha 11 be checked and accepted by the engineer before
operations are started.
material is placed, the
specified. The course
placing and spreading
Grade contro 1 between the edges of the pavement sha 11 be by means of grade
stakes, steel pins, or forms placed in lanes parallel to the centerline of the
pavement and at intervals which will permit string lines or check boards to be
placed between the stakes, pins, or forms.
To protect the subgrade and to insure proper drainage, the spreading of the
subbase shall begin along the centerline of the pavement on a crowned section or
on the high side of pavements with a one-way slope.
154-3.5 MATE~IALS ACCEPTABLE IN EXISTING CONDITION. When the entire subbase
material is secured in a uniform and satisfactory condition and contains
approximately the required moisture, such approved materials may be moved
directly to the spreading equipment for placing. The material may be obtained
from gravel pits, stockpiles, or may be produced from a crushing and screening
plant with proper blending. The materials from these sources shall meet the
requirements for gradation, quality, and consistency. It is the intent of this
section of the specifications to secure materials that will not require further
mixing. The moisture content of the material shall be approximately that
required to obtain maximum density. Any minor deficiency or excess of moisture
may be corrected by surface sprinkling or by aeration. In such instances, some
SP1l8A/031485
P-154-2
mixing or manipulation may be required immediately preceeding the rolling to
obtain the required moisture content. The final operation shall be blading or
dragging, if necessary, to obtain a smooth uniform surface true to line and
grade.
154-3.6 PLANT MIXING. When materials from several sources are to be blended
and mixed, the subbase material shall be processed in a central or travel mixing
plant. The subbase material, together with any blended material, shall be
thoroughly mixed with the required amount of water. After the mixing is
complete, the material shall be transported to and spread on the underlying
course without undue loss of the moisture content.
154-3.7 MIXED IN PLACE. When materials from different sources are to be propor-
tioned and mixed or blended in place, the relative proportions of the components
of the mixture shall be as designated by the engineer.
The subbase material shall be deposited and spread evenly to a uniform thickness
and width. Then the binder, filler, or other material shall be deposited and
spread evenly over the first layer. There shall be as many layers of materials
added as the engineer may direct to obtain the required subbase mixture.
When the required amount of materials have been placed, they shall be thoroughly
mixed and blended by means of approved graders, discs, harrows, rotary tillers,
supplemented by other suitable equipment if necessary. The mixing shall
continue until the mixture is uniform throughout. Areas of segregated material
shall be corrected by the addition of binder or filler material and by thorough
remixing. Water in the amount and as directed by the engineer shall be
uniformly applied prior to and during the mixing operations, if necessary, to
maintain the material at its required moisture content. When the mixing and
blending has been completed, the material shall be spread in a uniform layer
which, when compacted, will meet the requirements of thickness and typical
cross section.
154-3.8 GENERAL METHODS FOR PLACING. The subbase course shall be constructed in
layers. Any layer shall not be less than 3 inches nor more than 8 inches of
compacted thickness. The material, as spread, shall be of uniform gradation
with no pocket of fine or coarse materials. The subbase, unless otherwise
perimtted by the engineer, shall not be spread more than 2,000 square yards in
advance of the rolling. Any necessary sprinkling shall be kept within this
limit. No material shall be placed in snow or on a soft, muddy, or frozen
course.
When more than one layer is required, the construction procedure described
herein shall apply similarly to each layer.
During the placing and spreading, sufficient caution shall be exercised to
prevent the incorporation of subgrade, shoulder, or foreign material in the
subbase course mixture.
154-3.9 FINISHING AND COMPACTING. After spreading or mixing, the subbase
material shall be thoroughly compacted by rolling and sprinkling, when
necessary. Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to adequately handle the rate
of placing and spreading of the subbase course.
SP118A/031485
P-154-3
Rolling shall progress gradually from the sides to the center of the land under
constructiont or from one side toward previously placed materialt by lapping
uniformly each preceding track by at least 12 inches. The rolling shall
continue until the material is thoroughly set and stablet and the subbase mate-
rial has been compacted to not less than 100% of maxi~um density at optimum
moisture as determined by the compaction control tests specified in T-611.
Blading and rolling shall be done alternatelYt as required or directedt to
obtain a smootht event and uniformly compacted subbase.
The course shall not be rolled when the underlying course is soft or yielding or
when the rolling causes undulation in the subbase. When the rolling develops
irregularities that exceed one-half inch when tested with a 16-foot
straightedget the irregular surface shall be loosened and then refilled with the
same kind of material as that used in constructing the course and again rolled
as required above.
Along places inaccessible to rollerst the subbase material shall be tamped
thoroughly with mechanical or hand tampers.
Sprinkling during rollingt if necessarYt shall be in the amount and by equipment
approved by the engineer. Water shall not be added in such a manner or quantity
that free water will reach the underlying layer and cause it to become soft.
154-3.10 SURFACE TEST. After the course is complete ly compactedt the surface
sha 11 be tested for smoothness and accuracy of grade and crown; any port i on
found to lack the required smoothness or to fail in accuracy of grade or crown
shall be scarifiedt reshapedt recompactedt and otherwise manipulated as the
engineer may direct until the required smoothness and accuracy are obtained.
The finished surface shall not vary more than ~ inch when tested with a 16-foot
straightedge applied parallel witht and at right angles tOt the centerline.
154-3.11 THICKNESS. The thickness of the completed subbase course shall be
determined by depth tests or cores taken at intervals so each test shall
represent no more than 500 square yards. When the deficiency in thickness is
more than ~ incht the contractor shall correct such areas by scarifyingt adding
satisfactory mixturet rollingt sprinklingt reshapingt and finishing in
accordance with these specifications. The contractor shall replace at his
expense the subbase material where borings are taken for test purposes.
154-3.12 PROTECTION. Work on subbase course shall not be conducted during
freezing temperature nor when the subgrade is wet. When the subbase material
contains frozen material or when the underlying course is frozent the construc-
tion shall be stopped.
154-3.13 MAINTENANCE. Following the final shaping of the materialt the subbase
shall be maintained throughout its entire length by the use of standard motor
graders and rollers untilt in the judgment of the engineert the subbase meets
all requirements and is acceptable for the construction of the next course.
Method of Measurement
154-4.1 The yardage of subbase course to be paid for shall be the number of
cubic yards of subbase course material placedt compactedt and accepted in the
SP118A/031485
P-154-4
completed course. The quantity of subbase course material shall be measured in
final position based upon depth tests or cores taken as directed by the
engineer, or at the rate of one depth test for each 500 square yards of subbase
course, or by means of average end areas on the complete work computed from
elevations to the nearest 0.01 foot. On individual depth measurements,
thicknesses more than one-half inch in excess of that shown on the plans shall
be considered as the specified thickness plus one-half inch in computing the
yardage for payment. Subbase materials shall not be included in any other
excavation quantities.
Basis of Payment
154-5.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for
subbase course. This price shall be full compensation for furnishing all
materials; for all preparation, hauling, and placing of these materials; and for
all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item.

ITEM P-211 LIME ROCK BASE COURSE
Description
211-1.1 This item shall consist of a base course composed of lime rock con-
structed on the prepared underlying course in accordance with these specifica-
tions and shall conform to the dimensions and typical cross section shown on the
plans.
Materials
211-2.1 MATERIALS. The lime rock base course material shall consist of fossili-
ferous limestone of uniform quality, and shall not contain hard or flinty pieces
which will cause a rough surface containing pits and pockets. The rock shall
show no tendency to "air slack" or undergo chemical change when exposed to the
weather. The material when watered and rolled shall be capable of being com-
pacted into a dense and well-bonded base.
The oolitic type of limerock shall meet the following requirements:
Carbonates of calcium and magnesium - not less than 70%.
Oxides of iron anj aluminum - not more than 2%.
The combined amount of carbonates, oxides, and silica shall be at least
97%. The material shall be non-plastic.
All other types of lime rock shall contain not less than 95% of carbonates of
calcium and magnesium. Liquid limit shall not exceed 35, plasticity index shall
not exceed 6, as determined in accordance with AASHO T 89 and T 90.
The chemical analysis of the limerock shall consist of determining the silica
insoluble, iron oxide, and alumina by solution of the sample in hydrochloric
(HC1) acid, evaporating, dehydrating, redissolving the residue, and neutralizing
with ammonium hydroxide, filtering, washing, and igniting the residue lime rock.
The difference between this insoluble matter and 100% is reported as carbonates
of calcium and magnesium.
The lime rock shall not contain more than 0.5% of roots, leaf mold, organic, or
foreign matter and shall be obtained from pits from which all overburden has
been removed previous to blasting and quarrying.

Construction Methods
211-3.1 SOURCES OF SUPPLY. All work involved in cleaning and stripping pits,
including the handling of unsuitable material shall be performed by the
Contractor at his own expense. The lime rock shall be obtained from approved
sources. The pits shall be operated in such a manner that a clean and uniform
material will be secured.
211-3.2 EQUIPMENT. All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this
work shall be on the project, in first-class working condition, and approved by
the engineer before construction is permitted to start.
211-3.3 PREPARING UNDERLYING COURSE. Before any rock base course material is
placed, the underlying course shall be prepared and conditioned as specified.
The course shall be checked and accepted by the engineer before placing and
spreading operations are started. Any ruts or soft, yielding places caused by
improper drainage conditions, hauling, or any other cause, shall be corrected
and rolled to the required compaction before the base course is placed thereon.
Grade contro 1 between the edges of the pavement sha 11 be accomp 1 i shed by grade
stakes, stee 1 pins, or forms placed in 1 anes para 11 e 1 to the center 1 i ne of the
pavement and at intervals sufficiently close that string lines or check boards
may be placed between the stakes, pins, or forms.
To protect the underlying course and to insure proper drainage, the spreading of
the lime rock shall begin along the centerline of the pavement on a crowned
section or on the high side of the pavement with a one-way slope.
211-3.4 PLACING AND SPREADING. All base course material shall be placed on the
prepared underlying course and compacted in layers to the thickness shown on the
plans. The depositing and spreading of the material on the prepared course or
on a completed layer shall commence where designated and shall progress without
breaks. The material shall be deposited and spread in lanes in a uniform layer
and without segregation of size to such loose depth that, when compacted, the
layer shall have the required thickness. When more than one layer is required,
the construction procedure described herein shall apply similarly to each layer,
excepting the scarifying and rerolling of the surface which will apply only to
the top layer.
The rock sha 11 be transported to locat ions where it is to be used over rock
previously placed and dumped at the end of the preceding spread. It shall then
be spread uniformly with shovels, forks, or approved mechanical spreaders
especially constructed for this purpose. In no case shall rock be dumped
directly onto the underlying course. Transporting over the underlying course
will not be permitted, except as directed, in which case it must be protected by
planking if rutting occurs. During the dumping and spreading operations, the
rock shall be brought to the proper moisture content to obtain maximum density.
If water is added, it shall be uniformly mixed to the full depth of the course
by discing. All segregated areas of fine or coarse rock shall be removed and
rep 1 aced with we ll-graded rock, and approve by the eng i neer. Lime rock shall
not be spread when the subgrade is in an unsuitable condition.
The lime rock base course shall be constructed in a layer not less than 4 inches
nor more than 6 inches of compacted thickness. The base course shall be con-
structed in lanes or strips parallel with the centerline of the paved area.

During the placing operation, sufficient caution shall be exercised to prevent
the incorporation of subgrade, subbase, or shoulder material in the lime rock.
211-3.5 ROLLING. Immediately following final spreading, the material shall be
compacted to full width with approved compaction equipment. Rolling shall prog-
ress gradually from 'the sides to the center of the lane under construction, or
from one side toward previously placed material, and shall continue until the
surface has been rolled and compacted. Rolling shall continue until the base
material has been compacted to not less than 100% density as determined by the
compaction control tests specified in T-611. Prior to and during compaction,
water in the amounts required shall be uniformly applied to maintain satisfac-
tory moisture content to obtain maximum density. Sufficient rollers of the
designated types shall be furnished to adequately handle the compaction of the
material that has been placed and spread. Blading and rolling shall be done
alternately as required or directed to obtain a smooth, even surface and until
the entire depth of base is compacted into a dense, unyielding mass. Rerolling
of previous day's spread shall be done as directed. When the shoulder backfill
material has been placed, the shoulder shall be thoroughly rolled and compacted.
Along curbs, headers, and all areas inaccessible to the roller, the base course
material shall be tamped thoroughly with mechanical or hand tampers.
211-3.6 FINISHING BASE COURSE. After the watering and rolling of the base
course, the entire surface shall be scarified to a depth of at least 3 inches
and shaped to the exact crown and cross section with a blade grader. The scar-
ified material shall be rewatered and thoroughly rolled. Rolling shall continue
until the base is bonded and compacted into a dense, unyielding mass, true to
grade and cross section. The scarifying and roll ing of the surface of the base
shall follow the initial rolling of the lime rock by not more than 4 days. When
the lime rock base is constructed in two layers, the scarifying of the surface
shall be to a depth of 2 inches.
If, in the opinion of the engineer, the surface of the base is glazed or
cemented to the extent that the prime coat could not penetrate properly, and
after determining that the condition of the base meets all requirements, he will
direct that the surface of the base be hard-planed with a blade grader and
broomed immediately prior to the application of the prime coat. This hard-
planing shall be done in such a manner that only the glazed or cemented surface
is removed, leaving a granular or porous condition that will allow free penetra-
tion of the prime material. The material planed from the base shall be removed
from the base area.
If at any time the underlying material becomes churned up and mixed with the
base course material, the Contractor shall, without additional compensation, dig
out and remove the mixture, reshape and compact the underlying course, replace
the materials removed with clean rock which shall be watered and rolled until
satisfactorily compacted.
Where cracks, checks, or failures appear in the base, either before or after
priming and before the surface course is laid, the Contractor shall remove such
cracks, checks, or failures by rescarifying, reshaping, watering, rolling, and
adding lime rock where necessary.
SP118A/031485
P-211-3
211-3.7 SURFACE TEST. After the course has been completely compacted, the sur-
face shall be tested for smoothness and accuracy of grade and crown. Any por-
tion lacking the required smoothness or failing in accuracy of grade or crown
shall be scarified, reshaped, recompacted, and otherwise manipulated as the
engineer may direct until the required smoothness and accuracy are obtained.
The finished surface shall not vary more than 3/8 inch from a 16-foot straight-
edge when applied to the surface parallel with, and at right angles to, the
centerline. In testing surface of the harder lime rocks, measurement of clear-
ances from the straightedge shall not include small holes caused by individual
pieces being pulled out by the grader.
211-3.8 THICKNESS. The thickness of the base course shall be determined by
depth tests or elevations taken at intervals in such a manner that each test
shall represent 300 square yards, or it shall be as otherwise directed by the
engineer.
The depth tests shall be made by test holes through the base at least 3 inches
in diameter. Where the base deficiency is more than 1/2 inch, the Contractor
shall correct such areas by scarifying and adding rock. The base shall be scar-
ified, rock added, and tapered a distance of 100 feet in each direction from the
edge of the deficient area for each inch of rock added. The affected area shall
then be watered, bladed, rolled, and brought to a satisfactory state of compac-
tion, required thickness, and cross section. The thickness of the base in the
affected area shall be remeasured by depth tests or elevations. The operations
of scarifying, adding rock, and rerolltng shall continue until the base thick-
ness is within the 1/2-inch tolerance of base thickness. The final base thick-
ness of the reconditioned area shall be used to determine the average job thick-
ness.
The average job thickness shall be the average of the depth measurement as above
outlined and shall be within 1/4 inch of the thickness shown on the typical
cross section. On individual depth measurements, thicknesses more than 1/2 inch
in excess of that shown on the plans shall be considered as specified thickness
plus 1/2 inch in computing the average job thickness. The Contractor shall
replace, at his expense, the lime rock removed from test holes.
211-3.9 PROTECT! ON. Work on the base course sha 11 not be accomp 1 i shed dur i ng
freezing temperatures nor when the subgrade is wet. When the aggregate contains
frozen materials or the underlying course is frozen, the construction shall be
stopped.
Hauling equipment may be routed over completed portions of the base course, pro-
vided no damage results and provided that such equipment is routed over the full
width of the base course to avoid rutting or uneven compaction. However, the
engineer in charge shall have full and specific authority to stop all hauling
over completed or partially completed base course when, in his opinion, such
hauling is causing damage. Any damage resulting to the base course from routing
equipment over the base course shall be repaired by the Contractor at his own
expense.
211-3.10 MAINTENANCE. Following the completion of the base course, the
Contractor shall perform all maintenance work necessary to keep the base course
in a condition satisfactory for priming. After priming, the surface shall be

Method of Measurement
211-4.1 The yardage of lime rock base course to be paid for shall be the number
of cubic yards of base material placed, bonded, and accepted in the completed
base course. The quantity of base course material shall be measured in final
position, based upon depth tests taken as directed by the engineer, at the rate
of 1 depth test for each 300 square yards of base course, or by means of aver-
age end areas on the complete work computed from elevations to the nearest 0.01
foot. On individual depth measurements, thicknesses more than 1/2 inch in
excess of that shown on the plans shall be considered as the specified thick-
ness plus 1.2 inch in computing the yardage for payment.
Basis of Payment
211-5.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard for
lime rock base course. This price shall be full compensation for furnishing all
materials and for all preparation, hauling, and placing of these materials, and
for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item.
The cost of removing cracks and checks including the labor and material for
repriming, and the additional lime rock necessary for crack elimination, will
not be paid for separately but shall be included in the contract price per cubic
yard for line rock base course.

the requirements of P-401. Recycled material shall not exceed 50 pecent of the
virgin material.
Materials
401-2.1 AGGREGATE. Aggregates shall consist of crushed stone, crushed gravel,
or crushed slag with or without sand or other inert finely divided mineral
aggregate. The portion of materials retained on the No.8 sieve shall be known
as coarse aggregate, the portion passing the No. 8 sieve and retained on the No.
200 sieve as fine aggregate, and the portion passing the No. 200 sieve as min-
eral filler.
(a) Coarse Aqqregate. Coarse aggregate shall consist of sound, tough,
durable particles, free from adherent films of rnatter that would prevent
thorough coating with the bituminous material. It shall show no more wear than
40 percent when tested in accordance with ASTM C 131, nor shall the sodium
sulfate soundness loss exceed 9 percent, or the magnesium soundness loss exceed
12 percent, after five cycles, when tested in accordance with ASTM C 88.

two or more fractured faces and 65 percent having at least one fractured face.
The area of each face shall be equal to at least 75 percent of the smallest
midsectional area of the piece. When two fractured faces are contiguous, the
angle between the planes of fractures shall be at least 30 degrees to count as
two fractured faces. The area of each face shall be equal to at least 75
percent of the smallest midsectional area of the piece. When two fractures are
contiguous, the angle between planes of fractures shall be at least 30 degrees
to count as two fractured faces. Fractured faces shall be obtained by
artificial crushing.
The aggregate shall not contain more than 8 percent, by weight, of flat or
elongated pieces. A flat particle is one having a ratio of width to thickness
greater than five; an elongated particle is one having a ratio of length to
width greater than five.

of not less than 70 pounds per cubic foot (1.12Mg/m ) when tested in accordance
with ASTM C 29.
(b) Fine Aqqreqate. Fine aggregate shall consist of clean, sound, dura-
ble, angular particles produced by crushing stone, slag, or gravel that meets
the requirements for wear and soundness specified for coarse aggregate. The
aggregate particles shall be free from coatings of clay, silt, or other objec-
tionable matter and shall contain no clay balls. The fine aggregate, including
any blended filler, shall have a plasticity index of not more than six when
tested in accordance with ASTM 0 424, and a 1 iquid 1 imit of not more than 25
when tested in accordance with ASTM 0 423.
Natural sand may be used to obtain the gradation of the aggregate blend or to
improve the workability of the mix. The amount of sand to be added will be
adjusted to produce mixtures conforming to requirements of this specification.
(c) Samplinq and Testing. ASTM 0 75 shall be used in sampling coarse
aggregate and fine aggregate, and ASTM C 183 shall be used in sampling mineral
filler. The Contractor shall furnish documentation to the engineer conforming
that the aggregates meet specification requirements.
(d) Sources of Agqregates. Sources of aggregates shall be se lected we 11
in advance of the time the materials are required in the work. When the aggre-
gates are obtained from a previously approved source or an existing source pro-
ducing aggregates that has a satisfactory service record in airport bituminous
pavement construction for at least five years, samples shall be submitted 14
days prior to start of production. An inspection )f the producer'S operation
will be made by the Engineer. When new sources are to be developed, the con-
tractor shall indicate the sources and shall submit a plan for operation 30 days
in advance of starting production. Samples from test pits, borings, and other
excavations shall be submitted at the same time. Approval of the source of
aggregate does not re 1 i eve the Contractor in any way of the respons i b i 1 i ty for
delivery at the job site of aggregates that meet the requirements specified
herein.
(e) Samples of Aggregates. Samples of aggregates shall be furnished by
the Contractor at the start of production and at intervals during production of
bituminous mixtures. The intervals and points of sampling will be designated by
the Engineer. The samples will be the basis of approval of specific lots of
aggregates from the standpoint of the quality requirements of this section.
401-2.2 FILLER. If filler, in addition to that naturally present in the aggre-
gate is necessary, it shall meet the requirements of ASTM 0 242.
401-2.3 BITUMINOUS MATERIAL. The type, grade, and controlling specification and
maximum mixing temperatures for the bituminous materials are given in Table 1.
The Contractor shall furnish vendor's certified test reports for each tank of
bitumen shipped to the project. The report shall be delivered to the Engineer
before permission is granted for use of the material. The furnishing of the

401-3.1 COMPOSITION OF MIXTURE. The bituminous plant mix shall be composed of a
mixture of aggregate, fi ller if required, and bituminous materi a 1. The several
aggregate fractions shall be sized, uniformly graded, and combined in such pro-
portions that the resulting mixture meets the grading requirements of the job
mix formula.
401-3.2 JOB MIX FORMULA. No bituminous mixture for payment shall be produced
until a job mix formula has been approved by the Engineer. The formula shall be
submitted in writing by the Contractor to the Engineer at least 15 days prior-to
the start of paving operations and shall indicate the definite percentage of
each sieve fraction of aggregate, the percentage of bitumen, and the temperature
of the completed mixture when discharged from the mixer. All test data used to
develop the job mix formula shall also be submitted. The job mix formula for
each mixture shall be in effect until modified in writing by the Engineer.
Should a change in sources of materials be made, a new job mix formula shall be
established before a new material is used. The bituminous mixture shall be
designed using procedures contained in Chapter III, MARSHALL METHOD OF MIX
DESIGN, of the Asphalt Institute's Manual Series No. 2 (MS-2), current edition,
and shall meet the requirements of Tables 2 and 3. The temperature of the mix
immediately prior to compaction shall be 2500 t50F (121 degrees t30 C).
The mineral aggregate shall be of such size that the percentage composition by
weight, as determined by laboratory screens, will conform to the gradation or
gradations specified in Table 4, when tested in accordance with ASTM
Standard C 136 (dry sieve only). The percentage by weight for the bituminous
material shall be within the limits specified.

The gradations in Table 4 represent the limits which shall determine the suit-
ability of aggregate for use from the sources of supply. The selection of any
of the gradations shown in Table 4 shall be such that the maximum size aggregate
used shall not be more than one-half of the thickness of the layer of the course
being constructed. The aggregate, as fi na lly selected, shall have a gradation
within the limits designated in Table 4 and shall not vary from the low limit on
one sieve to the high limit on the adjacent sieve, or vice versa, but shall be
uniformly graded from coarse to fine. The job mix tolerances shown in Table 5
shall be applied to the jOb mix formula to establish a job control grading band.
The full tolerances still will apply if application of the job mix tolerances
results in a job control grading band outside the master grading band.

The aggregate gradation may be adjusted within the limits of Table 4, as
directed, without adjustments in the contract unit prices.
Should a change in sources of materials be made, a new job mix formula shall be
established before the new material is used. Deviation from the final approved
design for bitumen content and gradation of aggregates shall not be greater than
the tolerances permitted and shall be based on daily plant extraction. Extrac-
tion tests for bitumen content and aggregate gradation wi 11 be made at least
twice daily. The mixture will be tested for bitumen content in accordance with
ASTM 0 2172 and for aggregate gradation in accordance with AASHTO T 30. The
completed mixture shall be sampled at the plant to retain job control. One
sample shall be taken from each sublot on a random basis, in accordance with
procedures contained in ASTM 03665. A lot shall consist of one day's plant run
or 2,000 tons, whichever is less, and shall be divided into 4 sublots. Testing
shall be in accordance with the Marshall method procedures contained in Chapter
III of the Asphalt Institute Manual Series No.2 (MS-2), current edition, except
the temperature of the mix prior to compaction shall be 250 degrees F !5 degrees
F (121 degrees C +2 degrees C). If any two consecutive Marshall test results of
any property do not conform to the reqiurements shown in Tables 1 and 2, the
Contractor shall take immediate corrective action. In no instance shall the
percent air voids exceed !1 percent of the job mix formula value. The Engineer
may half production if the Marshall test criteria are not met and not allow it
to resume until the problem is corrected.
If the index of retained strength of the specimens of composite mixture, as
determined by ASTM 0 1075, is less than 75, the aggregates shall be rejected or
the asphalt shall be treated with an approved antistripping agent. The amount
of antistripping agent added to the asphalt shall be sufficient to produce an
index of retained strength of not less than 75.
401-3.3 TEST SECTION. Prior to full production, the Contractor shall prepare a
quantity of bituminous mixture according to the job mix formula. The amount of
mixture should be sufficient to construct a test section at least 50 feet (15.2
m) long and 20 feet (6.1 m) wide placed in two sections and shall be of the same
depth specified for the construction of the course which it represents. The
underlying grade or pavement structure upon which the test section is to be con-
structed shall be the same as the remai nder of the course represented by the
test section. The equipment used in construction of the test section shall be
the same type and 'l'Ieight to be used on the remainder of the course represented
by the test section.
If the test section should prove to be unsatisfactory, the necessary adjustment
. to the mix design, plant operation, and/or rolling procedures shall be made.
Additional test sections, as required, shall be constructed and evaluated for
conformance to the specifications. When test sections do not conform to spec-
ification requirements, the pavement shall be removed and replaced at the
Contractor's expense. A marginal quality test section that has been placed in
an area of little or not traffic may be left in place. If a second test section
also does not meet specification requirements both sections shall be removed at
the Contractor I s expense. A margi na 1 quality test section that has been placed
in an area of little or no traffic may be left in place. If a second test
section also does not meet specification requirements both sections shall be
removed at the Contractor's expense. Full production shall not begin without

approval of the Engineer. Test sections will be paid for in accordance with
Section 401-6.1.
401-3.4 TESTING LABORATORY. The testing laboratory used to develop the job mix
formula and to perform the tests required by this specification shall meet the
requirements of ASTM 03666. A certification that the laboratory meets these
requirements shall be submitted to the Engineer. An approved testing laboratory
will not be required for quality contol tests made by the Contractor.
Construction Methods
401-4.1 WEATHER LIMITATIONS. The bituminous mixture shall not be placed upon a

mixtures shall conform to the requirements of ASTM 0995 with the following
changes:
(a) Requirements for All Plants.
(1) Truck Scales. The bituminous mixture shall be weighed on
approved scales furnished by the Contractor, or on public scales at the
Contractor's expense. Such scales shall be inspected and sealed as often as the
Engineer deems necessary to assure their accuracy. Scales shall conform to the
requirements of Section 90.
(2) Testinq laboratory. The Contractor or producer shall provide
laboratory facilities for control and acceptance testing functions during
periods of mix production, sampling, and testing .and whenever materials subject
to the provisions of these specifications are being supplied or tested. The
laboratory shall provide adequate equipment, space, and utilities as required
for the performance of the specified tests.
(3) Inspection of plant. The Engineer, or his authorized
representative, shall have access, at all times, to all parts of the plant for
SP118/03108585
P-401-7
checking adequacy of equipment; inspecting operation of the plant: verifying
weights, proportions, and character of materials; and checking the temperatures
matintained in the preparation of the mixtures.
(4) Storage bins and surge bins. Paragraph 3.9 of ASTM 0995 is
deleted. Instead, the following applies. Use of surge bins or storage bins for
temporary storage of hot bituminous mixtures will be permitted as follows:
(a) The bituminous mixture may be stored in surge bins for
period of time not to exceed 3 hours;
(b) The bituminous mixture may be stored in insulated storage
bins for a period of time not to exceed 24 hours provided an
inert gas atmosphere is maintained in the bid during the
storage period.
The bins shall be such that mix drawn from them meets the same requirements as
mix loaded directly into trucks.
If the Engineer determines that there is an excessive amount of heat loss,
segretation or oxidation of the mixture due to temporary storage, no overnight
storage will be allowed.
401-4.3 HAULING EQUIPMENT. Trucks used for hauling bituminous mixtures shall
have tight, clean, smooth metal beds. To prevent the mixture from adhering to
them, the beds shall be lightly coated with a minimum amount of paraffin oil,
lime solution, or other approved material. Each truck shall have a suitable
cover to protect the materi a 1 from adverse weather. When necessary, to insure
that the mixture will be delivered to the site at the specified temperature,
truck beds shall be insulated and covers shall be securely fastened.
401-4.4 BITUMINOUS PAVERS. Bituminous pavers shall be self-contained, power
propelled units with an activated screed or strike-off assembly, heated if
necessary, and shall be capable of spreading and finishing courses of bituminous
plant mix material which will meet the specified thickness, smoothness, and
grade. Pavers used for shoulders and similar construction shall be capable of
spreading and finishing courses of bituminous plant mix material in widths shown
on the plans.
The paver shall have a receiving hopper of sufficient capacity to permit a
uniform spreading operation. The hopper Shall be equipped with a distribution
system to place the mixture uniformly in front of the screed. The screed or
strike-off assembly shall effectively produce a finished surface of the required
evenness and texture without tearing, shoving, or gouging the mixture.
The paver shall be capable of operating at forward speeds consistent with satis-
factory laying of the mixture.
If an automatic grade control device is used, the paver shall be equipped with a
control system capable of automatically maintaining the screed elevation. The
control system shall be automatically actuated from either a reference line or
surface through a system of mechanical sensors or sensor-directed mechanisms or
devices which will maintain the paverscreed at a predetermined transverse slope
SP118/03108585
P-401-8
and at the proper elevation to obtain the required surface. The transverse
slope controller shall be capable of maintaining the screed at the desired slope
within plus or minus 0.1 percent.
The controls shall be capable of working in conjunction with any of the
following attachments:
(a) Ski-type device of not less than 30 feet (9.14 m) in length or as
directed by the Engineer.
(b) Taut stringline (wire) set to grade.
(c) Short ski or shoe.
401-4.5 ROLLERS. Rollers may be of the vibratory, steel wheel, or pneumatic-
tired type. They shall be in good condition, capable of reversing without back-
lash, and operating at slow speeds to avoid displacement of the bituminous mix-
ture. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact
the mixture to the required density, while it is still in a workable condition.
The use of equipment which causes excessive crushing of the aggregate wi 11 not
be permitted.
401-4.6 PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MATERIAL. The bituminous material shall be
heated in a manner that will avoid local overheating and provide a continuous
supply of the bituminous material to the mixer at a uniform temperature. The
temperature of the bituminous material delivered to the mixer shall be suffi-
cient to provide a suitable viscosity for adequate coating of the aggregate
particles, but shall not exceed 3250F (1600C).
401-4.7 PREPARATION OF MINERAL AGGREGATE. The aggregate for the mixture shall
be dried and heated to the temperature designated by the jOb formula within the
job tolerance specified. The maximum temperature and rate of heating shall be
such that no permanent damage occurs to the aggregates. Particular care shall
be taken that aggregates high in calcium or magnesium content are not damaged by
overheating. The temperature shall not be lower than is required to obtain com-
plete coating and uniform distribution on the aggregate particles and to provide
a mixture of satisfactory workability.
401-4.8 PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURE. The aggregates and the bituminous
material shall be weighed or metered and introduced into the mixer in the amount
specified by the job mix formula.
The combined materials shall be mixed until the aggregate contains a uniform
coating of bitumen and is thoroughly distributed throughout the mixture. Wet
mixing time shall be the shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture.
It shall be established by the Contractor, based on the procedure for
determining the percentage of coated particles described in ASTM 02489, and
approved by the Engineer for each individual plant and for each type of
aggregate used. The minimum mixing time shall be 25 seconds. The mixing time
will be set to achieve 95 percent of coated particles. For continuous mix
plants, the minimum mixing time shall be determined by dividing the weight of
its contents at operating level by the weight of the mixture delivered per
second by the mixer. The moisture contnet of the mix shall not exceed 1
percent.
SP118/03108585
P-401-9
401-4.9 TRANSPORTINGt SPREADINGt AND FINISHING. The mixture shall be tran-
sported from the mixing plant to the point of use in vehicles conforming to the
requirements of Section 401-4.3. Deliveries shall be scheduled so that spread-
ing and rolling of all mixture prepared for one day's run can be completed dur-
ing daylightt unless adequate artificial lighting is provided. Hauling over
freshly placed material shall not be permitted until the material has been com-
pactedt as specifiedt and allowed to cool to atmospheric temperature.
Immediately before placing the bituminous mixturet the underlying course shall
be cleared of all loose or deleterious material with power blowerstpower broomst
or hand brooms as directed.
The mix shall be placed at a temperature of not less than 2500F (1070C) when
asphalt cement is usedt and not less than 1500F (650C) when tar is used.
Upon arrivalt the mixture shall be spread to the full width by an approved bitu-
minous paver. It shall be struck off in a uniform layer of such depth thatt
when the work is completedt it shall have the required thickness and shall con-
form to the grade and contour indicated. The speed of the paver shall be regu-
lated to eliminate pulling and tearing of the bituminous mat. Unless otherwise
directedt placing shall begin along the centerline of areas to be paved on a
crowned section or on the high side of areas with a one-way slope. The mixture
shall be placed in consecutive adjacent strips having a minimum width of 10 feet
(3 m)t except where edge lanes require strips less than 10 feet to complete the
area. The longitudinal joint in one layer shall offset that in the layer imme-
diately below by at least 1 foot(30 cm); howevert the joint in the top layer
shall be at the centerline of the pavement. Transverse joints in one layer
sha 11 be offset by at least 2 feet (60 cm) from transverse joi nts in the pre-
vious layer. Transverse joints in adjacent lanes shall be offset a minimum of
10 feet (3 m).
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechan-
ical spreading and finishing equipment impracticalt the mixture may be spreadt
rakedt and luted by hand tools.
401-4.10 COMPACTION OF MIXTURE. After spreadingt the mixture shall be
thoroughly and uniformly compacted with power rollers. The surface shall be
rolled when the mixture has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling
does not cause undue displacementt cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling
operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the
Contractor.
The speed of the roller shallt at all timest be sufficiently slow to avoid dis-
placement of the hot mixture. Any displacement occurring as a result of revers-
ing the direction of the rollert or from any other causet shall be corrected at
once.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling
shall continue until all roller marks are eliminatedt the surface is of uniform
texture and true to grade and cross sectiont and the required field density is
obtained.

To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept
properly moistened, but excessive water will not be permitted.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted
with hot hand tampers.
Any mixture which becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, or in any way
defective shall be removed and placed with fresh hot mixture and immediately
compacted to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall be done at the
Contractor's expense. Skin patching shall not be allowed.
401-4.11 JOINTS. The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as
to ensure a continuous bond between old and new sections of the course. All
joints shall present the same texture, density, and smoothness as other sections
of the course.
The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture
except when necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a
transverse joint, it shall be made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering
the course, in which case the edge shall be cut back to its full depth and width
on a straight line to expose a vertical face. In both methods all contact sur-
faces shall be given a tack coat of bituminous material before placing any fresh
mixture against the joint.
Longitudinal joints which are irregular, damaged, or otherwise defective shall
be cut back to expose a clean, sound surface for the full depth of the course.
All contact surfaces shall be given a tack coat of bituminous material prior to
placing any fresh mixture against the joint.
401-4.12 ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING AND TESTING OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURE (DENSITY). Pave-
ment density will be determined by comparing the density of cores taken from the
compacted pavement to the density of laboratory-compacted specimens.
(a) Lot sizes. The pavement will be accepted for density on a lot basis.
A lot will consist of:
(1) one day's product i on where it is not expected to exceed 2,000
tons (1 814 000 kg);
(2) a half day's production where a days production is expected to
consist of between 2,000 and 4,000 tons (1 814 000 and 3 628 000 kg);
(3) similar subdivisions for quantities greater than 4,000 tons.
(b) Laboratory Density. Bituminous mixture for laboratory-compacted spec-
imens shall be sampled on a lot basis from trucks delivering material to the jOb
site. The lot size shall be the same as indicated in paragraph 4.12(a) and
shall be divided into four equal sublots. One sample shall be taken from each
sublot on a random basis, in accordance with procedures contained in ASTM 03665.
One laboratory compacted speciment shall be prepared from each sublot.
The specimens shall be compacted in accordance with ASTM 01559,
Section 3.5, except that the temperature immediately prior to compac-
SP1l8/03108585
P-401-11
tion shall be 2500F t50F (120C 1:30C). the sample of bituminous mix-
ture can be placed in an oven for not more than 30 minutes to maintain
the heat, but it shall not be reheated if it cools below 2500F (1200C)
before use. The density of each specimen shall be determined in
accordance with ASTM 02726 or 01188, whichever is applicable.
(c) Core Density. Cores for determining the density of the compacted
pavement shall be taken on a lot basis. The lost size shall be the same as
indicated in paragraph 4.12(a) and shall be divided into four equal sublots.
One core shall be taken from each sublot on a random basis in accordance with
procedures contained in Appendix C of the Asphalt Institute's Specification
Series No.1, latest edition. The cores shall be taken in accordance with the
requirements of paragraph 4.14. The density of each core shall be determined in
accordance with ASTM 0 2726 or 0 1188, whichever is applicable.
(d) Pavement Density. The target density (percent compaction) of each lot
of in-place pavement shall be 98 percent of the average density of the labora-
tory-prepared specimens. The pavement density shall be determined by dividing
the core density of each sub lot by the average density of the 1 aboratory-pre-
pared specimens.
(e) Acceptance Criteria. Acceptance of each lot of bituminous (surface)
(base) course shall be based on the percentage of material within specification
limits (PWL). The PWL is determined using standard statistical techniques and
involves the number of tests in each lot (n) and the Quality Index (Q). The
Quality Index is calculated from the following formula:
_ X-L
-R
Quality Index
average pavement densities (percent compaction)
lower specification limit (96.7 percent)
range - difference between highest and lowest pavement
densities (percent compaction)
Q
where: Q =
X =
L =
R =
The PWL shall be determined from Table 7 using the number of tests (n) and the
Quality Index (Q).
Each lot of bituminous mix shall be accepted for density when the PWL equals or
exceeds 90 percent. Each lot not meeting the 90 percent PWL requirement will be
accepted at an adjusted contract unit price in accordance with Table 8.
401-4.13 SURFACE TESTS. Tests for conformity with the specified crown and grade
shall be made by the Contractor immediately after initial compression. Any var-
iation shall be corrected by the removal or addition of materials and by contin-
uous rolling.
The finished surface shall not vary more than 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) for the surface
course when tested with a 16-foot (4.8 m) straightedge applied parallel with, or
at right angles to, the centerline.

MILLING OF EXISTING ASPHALT PAVEMENT
Description
402-1.1 The work specified in this section consists of:
A. Milling of twenty-five (25) ! feet of runway surface immediately south
of the existing Runway 7/25 centerline and stockpiling the aggregate produced so
as to allow the runway cross sect ion proposed to be constructed to be lowered
approximately 1-1/2 inches, thus reducing the amount of asphalt required for the
proposed construction, or
B. Mi 11 i ng of up to seventy-fi ve (75) + feet of runway surface imme-
diately south of the existing Runway 7/25 centerline, as in A above, to lower
the runway Cross section to be constructed approximately 1-1/2 inches, and using
all of said milled material in a hot recycling operation to reduce the amount of
asphalt required for the proposed construction so long as the resultant recycled
material meets the requirements of Item P-401, Bituminous Surface Course.
The work specified also consists of transporting the milled material
and stockpiling it at a location on airport property approved by the Engineer.
The method of stockpiling and handling salvaged asphalt material, either for
immediate reuse in area designated for the contractor recycling plant, or a pro-
tected storage area in the event it is not reused immediately in this project,
shall be approved by the Engineer.
Equipment
402.2. The equipment used for this operation shall be a machine capable of
maintaining a depth of cut and cross slope which will achieve the results spec-
ified in the Plans. The machine shall be equiped with automatic grade controls
which operate by sensing and controlling the depth of cut from one or more skids
moving along adjacent known elevation pavement surfaces. The machine shall be
equipped with an effective means of limiting the amount of dust escaping from
the milling operation.
If the machine proposed for milling is equipped with preheating
devices that produce smoke and gaseous emissions, special attention is directed
to the fact that local environmental regulations exist governing operation of
this equipment and require a permit for use. It shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to familiarize himself and comply with all such local regula-
tions, as well as State and Federal rules, and to obtain all necessary permits.
Construction Methods
402.3. Pavement Removal. The existing pavement shall be removed to varying
depths as shown on the Plans. Pavement removal shall be to a specified depth
SP1l8/050184
P-402-1
and shall produce a specified cross slope. Grade control shall be carefully set
by the Contractor and approved by the Eng i neer in accordance with the Plans
prior to initiating the milling operation. Approximately 1-1/2" of asphalt is
to be removed from the middle 4,000' of Runway 7/25, and 1/2" from the 500' ends
of Runway 7/25 extending southward from the existing runway centerline, accord-
ing to the Plans.
The Contractor may elect to make multiple cuts to achieve the required
pavement configuration or depth of cut.
The milling machine shall be operated to minimize the amount of dust
being emitted from the machine. Prewetting of the pavement may be required.
Prior to opening an area which has been milled for construction
traffic use the pavement shall be thoroughly swept with a power broom or other
approved equipment to remove milled fines to the greatest extent practicable.
This operation shall be conducted in a manner so as to minimize the potential
for air pollution.
Sweeping of the mi lled surface with a power broom wi 11 be required
prior to placing a seal coat or the asphaltic overlay.
Finished Surface
402-3.2 An asphalt pavement overlay is to be constructed over the milled sur-
face. It shall have a texture which will provide good bonding and accept a
bituminous tack coat according to P-603 prior to placement of the overlay per P-
401. Milled surfaces that will not be overlayed shall be treated with a single
bituminous seal coat according to P-609.
The Engineer may require remilling of any area where a surface lamina-
tion causes a non-uniform texture to occur. Where milling inadvertently exposes
the runway base course, those exposed areas shall be treated with multiple
applications of bituminous material and aggregate according to P-609. A minimum
of three applications shall be provided as corrective action, at no charge to
the Owner.
Method of Measurement
402-4.1 The quantities to be paid for under this Section shall be: (1) the
area over which milling is acceptably completed, measured and calculated by the
resident project representative, according to area milled and average depth of
cut; (2) the volume of hauled milled material removed, determined by measurement
in truck bodies at the point it is loaded. The Contractor shall level the mate-
rial in truck bodies to facilitate measurement.
Basis of Payment
402-5.1 The quantities of asphalt surface removed shall be paid for at the
contract unit price for Milling Existing Asphalt Pavement.

609-3.1 WEATHER LIMITATION. Bituminous material shall not be applied to wet
aggregate material or during sand, dust, or rain storms. The pavement shall be
free of surface moisture during the contractor's operating periods.
In general, it will be the policy not to permit the application of any bitu-
mi nous materi a 1 when the atmospheri c temperature is 1 ess than 700 F. and the
engineer may require the contractor to delay the application of bituminous mate-
rial until the atmospheric and pavement surface conditions are satisfactory. No
bituminous material shall be placed which cannot be cared for during daylight
hours.
609-3.2 EQUIPMENT AND ORGANIZATION. Each unit required in the execution of these
specifications shall be under the continuous superision of a competent superin-
tendent thoroughly experienced in this type of work. Experienced operators will

be required on all euquipment used in hauling and applying bituminous material
and aggregate.
All equipment necessary to perform this work properly shall be on the project,
in first class working condition, and approved by the engineer before construc-
tion is permitted to start.
The following equipment will be the minimum required for this type of construc-
tion, and additional machinery shall be secured if, in the opinion of the
engineer, it is necessary to fulfill the conditions of these specifications or
to complete the item within the time specified.
(a) The distributor shall have pneumatic tires of such width and number
that the load produced on the pavement surface shall not exceed 650 pounds per
inch of tire width and it shall be designed and operated so that bituminous
material at even heat may be applied uniformly on variable widths of surface at
readily controlled rates from 0.05 to 2.0 gallons per square yard. The bitu-
minous material shall be applied within a pressure range of 25 to 75 pounds per
square inch and with an allowable variation from any specified rate not to
exceed 5%. Distributor equipment shall include a tachometer, pressure gauges,
volume measuring devices, and a thermometer for reading temperatures of tank
contents.
(b) The pneumatic tire roller shall consist of pneumatic tires arranged"in
a manner to provide a satisfactory compacting unit. The roller shall have. an
effective rolling width of at least 60 inches and shall give a compression of at
least 275 pounds per inch of tread width when fully loaded.
The contractor shall supply such auxiliary equipment as needed and all equipment
shall meet the approval of the engineer.
Bituminous binder shall not be spread over a greater yardage than can be rolled
and finished in one day.s operation. The yardage over which the binder is
spread shall be as determined by the engineer.
609-3.3 PREPARING THE UNDERL Y I NG COURSE. The surf ace of the under lyi ng course
shall be prepared, shaped, and conditioned to a uniform grade and section, as
shown on the plans and as specified. Loose dirt and other objectionable mate-
rial such as existing painting shall be removed from the surface. Such costs
shall be included in the basic seal coat cost elements.
When specified, the contractor shall be required to patch, with premixed mate-
rial, any holes or other malformations deviating from the true cross section and
grade. The premixed material shall be made of the bituminous material specified
in the proposal or plans and prepared by the method as directed by the engineer.
All small patches shall be thoroughly hand tamped while the large patches shall
be rolled with a power or pneumatic roller.
609-3.4 APPLICATION OF BITUMINOUS MATERIAL. Bituminous material shall be
applied upon the properly prepared surface at the rate and temperature specified
using a pressure distributor to obtain uniform distribution at all points. To
insure proper drainage, the strips shall begin along the centerline of the
pavement on a crowned section or on the high side of the pavement with a one-way

slope. During all applications, the surfaces of adjacent structures shall be
protected in such a manner as to prevent their being spattered or marred. Bitu-
minous materials shall not be discharged into borrow pits or gutters or upon the
airport areas.
609-3.5 CORRECTION OF DEFECTS. Any defects, such as raveling, low centers, lack
of uniformity, or other imperfections caused by faulty workmanship, shall be
corrected to the satisfaction of the engineer.
All defective materials resulting from overheating, improper handling, or appli-
cation shall be removed by the contractor and replaced with approved materials
as provided for in these specifications.

minous materials that the contractor proposes to use, together with a statement
as to their source and character, shall be submitted and approval obtained
before use of such materials begins.
The contractor shall furnish vendor's certified test reports for each carload,
or equivalent, of bitumen shipped to the project. The report shall be delivered
to the engineer before permission is granted for use of the material. The fur-
nishing of the vendor's certified test report for the bituminous material shall
not be interpreted as a basis for final acceptance. All such test reports shall
be subject to verification by testing sample materials as received for use on
the project. .
609-3.7 FREIGHT AND WEIGH BILLS. Before the final estimate is allowed, the
contractor shall file with the engineer receipted bills where railroad shipments
are made, and certified weight bills when materials are received in any other
manner, of the bituminous and covering materials actually used in the construc-
tion covered by the contract. The contractor shall not remove bituminous mate-
rial from the tank car or storage tank until the initial outage and temperature
measurements have been taken by the engineer, nor shall the car or tank be
released until the final outage has been taken by the engineer.
Copies of all freight bills and weigh bills shall be furnished to the engineer
during the progress of the work.
Method of Measurement
609-4.1 The unit of measurement for bituminous material shall be the gallon.
The gallonage to be paid for shall be the number of gallons of bituminous mate-
rial used as ordered for the accepted work. Gallonage shall be determined by
measuring the material at a temperature of 600 F. or by converting the gallonage
measured at other temperatures to ga 11 onage at 600 F. in accordance wi th the
temperature-volume correction tables for asphalt, tar, and asphalt emulsion
materials contained in ASTM 0-1250 and ASTM 0-633 respectively.

Construction Methods
610-3.1 GENERAL. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, and serv-
ices necessary for, and incidental to, the completion of all work as shown on
the drawings and specified herein. All machinery and equipment owned or con-
SP118A/030785
P-61O-3
trolled by the Contractort which he proposes to use on the workt shall be of
sufficient size to meet the requirements of the workt and shall be such as to
produce satisfactory work; all work shall be subject to the inspection and
approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall emploYt at all timest a suffi-
cient force of workmen of such experience and ability that the work can be pro-
secuted in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
610-3.2 CONCRETE PROPORTIONS. The concrete shall consist of a mixture of coarse
aggregatet fine aggregatet portl and cementt and water. All aggregates and bu lk
cement shall be measured by weight. In proportioning the aggregates and mixing
watert compensation shall be made for the weight of moisture in the aggregatest
and this shall be determined periodically.

The proport ions in the above tab 1 e are based on the use of we ll-graded aggre-
gates. If it is impossible with the aggregates selected to prepare concrete of
the proper consistency without exceeding the maximum net water content spec-
ifiedt the total weight of aggregate shall be reduced by the Engineer until con-
crete of the proper consistency is obtained without exceeding the maximum net
water content specified. Howevert the Contractor shall not be compensated for
any additional cement which may be required by such adjustment.
The weights specified in the above table were calculated for aggregates of the
following bulk specific gravities: Natural sand and gravelt 2.65; crushed
stonet 2.70; slag 2.30. For aggregates of specific gravities differing more
than to.02 from those given abovet the weights given in the tables shall be
corrected. The quantities shown for cement and water shall controlt and the
weights of the aggregates shall be varied to secure the proper yield based on
absolute volumes. When a special mix requiring a reduction in the amount of
water is desired, the quantities of aggregates shall be increased to maintain
the specified yield.
Yield test, made in accordance with specification AASHTO T 121, shall be made
at the Contractor IS res pons i b i 1 i ty and expense for the purpose of determi n i ng
the cement content per cubic yard of concrete. If at any time such cement
content is found to be less than that specified per cubic yard, the batch
weights shall be reduced until the amount of cement per cubic yard of concrete
conforms to the requirements.

The net mixing water shall be adjusted for the moisture contained in the ag-
gregates, and for the moisture which they will absorb, in order to determine the
amount of water to be added at the mixer. The absorption of the fine and coarse
aggregates shall be determined by AASHTO T 84 and T 85.
When an air-entraining agent or air-entraining portland cement is used, there
will be a bulking of the mortar of the concrete due to the amount of entrained
air. To keep the cement factor specified at the correct amount, the weight of
the fine aggregate shall be reduced, as directed by the Engineer. The reduction
in the fine aggregate shall be determined by yield tests as specified. Under
average conditions the reduction of the sand should be about 3% of the total
weight of the fine and coarse aggregate. The air content of the concrete shall
be between 3 and 6% by volume.
The air content by volume shall be based on measurements made on concrete imme-
diately after discharge from the mixer in accordance with AASHTOT 121 or T 152.
610-3.3 CONTROL TESTS. When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall make
test cylinders or beams from the concrete as mixed for the work as herein spec-
ified.
Concrete cylindrical tests specimens shall be made in accordance with AASHTO T
23 and beam specimens shall be made in accordance with AASHTO T 97. The
Contractor shall cure and store the test specimens under such conditions. as
directed. The Engineer will make the actual tests on the specimens at no
expense to the Contractor.
610-3.4 PROPORTIONING AND MEASURING DEVICES. When package cement is used, the
quantity for each batch shall be equal to one or more whole sacks of cement.
The aggregates shall be measured separately by weight. If aggregates are
de 1 i vered to the mi xer in batch truck s, the exact amount for each mi xer charge
shall- be contained in each batch compartment. Weighing boxes or hoppers shall
be approved by the Engineer and shall provide means of regulating the flow of
aggregates into the batch box so that the required and exact weight of aggre-
gates can be readily obtained.
610-3.5 CONSISTENCY. The consistency of the concrete shall be checked by the
slump test specified in AASHTO T 119.
610-3.6 MIXING. Concrete may be mixed at the construction site, at a central
point, or wholly or in part in truck mixers. . Whichever mixing process is used,
concrete of the specified proportions and consistency shall be produced.
610-3.7 MIXING CONDITIONS. The concrete shall be mixed only in quantities
required for immediate use. Concrete shall not be mixed while the air tempera-
ture is below 40oF. without permission of the Engineer. If permission is
granted for mixing under such conditions, aggregates or water, or both, shall be
heated and the concrete shall be placed at a temperature not less than 50 of nor
more than 100oF. The Contractor shall be held responsible for any defective
work, resulting from freezing or injury in any manner during placing and curing,
and shall replace such work at his expense.
SP118A/030785
P-610-5
Retempering of concrete by adding water or any other material shall not be per-
mitted.
The deli very of concrete to the job sha 11 be in such a manner that batches of
concrete will be deposited at uninterrupted intervals.
610-3.8 FORMS. Concrete shall not be placed until all tne forms and reinforce-
ments have been inspected and approved by the Engineer. Forms shall be of suit-
able material and shall be of the type, size, shape, quality, and strength to
build the structure as designed on the plans. The forms shall be true to line
and grade and shall be mortar-tight and sufficiently rigid to prevent displace-
ment and sagging between supports. The Contractor shall bear responsibility for
their adequacy. The surfaces of forms shall be smooth and free from irregulari-
ties, dents, sags, and holes.
The internal ties shall be arranged so that, when the forms are removed, no
metal will show in the concrete surface or discolor the surface when exposed to
weathering. All forms shall be wetted with water or with a nonstaining mineral
oil wh i ch sh a 11 be app 1 i ed short 1 y before the concrete is placed. Forms sh a 11
be constructed so that they can be removed without injuring the concrete or con-
crete surface. The forms shall not be removed before the expiration of at least
30 hours from vertical faces, walls, slender columns, and similar structures;
forms supported by falsework under slabs, beams, girders, arches, and similar
construction shall not be removed until tests indicate that at least 60% of the
design strength of the concrete has developed.
610-3.9 EMBEDDED ITEMS. Before placing concrete, any items that are to be
embedded shall be firmly and securely fastened in place as indicated. All such
items shall be clean and free from coating, rust, scale, oil, or any foreign
matter. The embedding of wood shall be avoided. The concrete shall be spaded
and consolidated around and against embedded items.
610-3.10 PLACING CONCRETE. All concrete shall be placed during daylight, unless
otherwi se approved. The concrete shall not be placed until the depth and char-
acter of foundation, the adequacy of forms and falsework have been approved.
Concrete shall be placed as soon as practical after mixing and in no case later
than 1 hour after water has been added to the mi x. The method and manner of
placing shall be such to avoid segregation and displacement of the reinforce-
ment. Troughs, pipes, and chutes shall be used as an aid in placing concrete
when necessary. Dropping the concrete a distance of more than 5 feet, or
depositing a large quantity at one point, will not be permitted. Concrete shall
be placed upon clean, damp surfaces, free from running water, or upon properly
consolidated soil.
The concrete shall be compacted with suitable mechanical vibrators operating
within the concrete. When necessary, vibrating shall be supplemented by hand
spading with suitable tools to assure proper and adequate compaction. Vibrators
shall be manipulated so as to work the concrete thoroughly around the reinforce-
ment and embedded fixtures and into corners and angles of the forms: The vibra-
tion at any joint shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish compaction but
shall not be prolonged to the point where segregation occurs. Concrete
deposited under water shall be carefully placed in a compact mass in its final
position by means of a tremie, a closed bottom dump bucket, or other approved
method and shall not be disturbed after being deposited.

610-3.11 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS. When the placing of concrete is suspended,
necessary provisions shall be made for joining future work before the placed
concrete takes its initial set. For the proper bonding of old and new concrete,
such provisions shall be made for grooves, steps, keys, dovetails, reinforcing
bars or other devices as may be prescribed. The work shall be arranged so that
a section begun on any day shall be finished during daylight of the same day.
Before depositing new concrete on or against concrete which was hardened, the
surface of the hardened concrete shall be c leaned by a heavy steel broom,
roughened slightly, wetted, and covered with a neat coating of cement past or
grout.
610-3.12 EXPANSION JOINTS. Expansion joints shall be constructed at such
points and of such dimensions as may be indicated on the drawings. The pre-
molded fi ller shall be cut to the same shape as that of the surfaces being
joined. The filler shall be fixed firmly against the surface of the concrete
already in place in such manner that it will not be displaced when concrete is
deposited against it.
610-3.13 DEFECTIVE WORK. Any defective work disclosed shall be immediately
removed and replaced. If any dimensions are deficient, or if the surface of the
concrete is bulged, uneven, or shows honeycomb, which in the opinion of the
Engineer cannot be repaired satiSfactorily, the entire section shall be removed
and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
610-3.14 SURFACE FINISH. A 11 exposed concrete surfaces shall be true, smooth,
free from open or rough spaces, depressions, or projections. The concrete in
horizontal plane surfaces shall be brought flush with the finished top surface
at the proper elevation and shall be struck-off with a straightedge and floated.
Mortar finishing shall not be permitted, nor shall dry cement or sand-cement
mortar be spread over the concrete during the finiShing of the horizontal plane
surfaces.
When directed, the surface finish of exposed concrete shall be a rubbed finish.
If forms can be removed while the concrete is still green, the surface shall be
pointed and wetted and then rubbed with a wooden float until all irregularities
are removed. If the concrete has hardened before being rubbed, a carborundum
stone shall be used to finish the surface. When approved, the finishing can be
done with a rubbing machine.
610-3.15 CURING AND PROTECTION. All concrete shall be properly cured and pro-
tected by the Contractor. The work shall be protected from the elements, flow-
ing water, and from defacement of any nature during the building operations.
The concrete shall be cured as soon as it has sufficiently hardened by covering
with an approved material. Water-absorptive coverings shall be thoroughly
saturated when placed and kept saturated for a period of at least 3 days. All
curing mats or blankets shall be sufficiently weighted or tied down to keep the
concrete surface covered and to prevent the surface from being exposed to cur-
rents of air. Where wooden forms are used, they shall be kept wet at all times
until removed to prevent the opening of joints and drying out of the concrete.
Traffic shall not be allowed on concrete surfaces for 7 days after the concrete
has been placed.

610-3.16 DRAINS OR DUCTS. Drainage pipes, conduits, and ducts that are to be
encased in concrete shall be installed by the Contractor before the concrete is
placed. The pipe shall be held rigidly so that it will not be displaced or
moved during the placing of the concrete.
610-3.17 COLD WEATHER PROTECTION. When concrete is placed at temperatures below
40oF., the Contractor shall provide satisfactory methods and means to protect
the mix from injury by freezing. The aggregates, or water, or both, shall be
heated in order to place the concrete at temperatures between 500F and 100oF.
Calcium chloride may be incorporated in the mixing water when directed by the
Engineer. Not more than 2 pounds of Type 1 nor more than 1.6 pounds of Type 2
shall be added per bag of cement. After the concrete has been placed, the
Contractor shall provide sufficient protection such as cover, canvas, framework,
heating apparatus, etc., to enclose and protect the structure and maintain the
temperature of the mix at not less than 50oF. until at least 60% of the designed
strength nas be attained.
610-3.18 FILLING JOINTS. All joints which require filling shall be thoroughly
cleaned, and any excess mortar or concrete shall be cut out wi th proper too 1 s.
Joint filling shall not be started until after final curing and shall be done
only when the concrete is completely dry. The cleaning and filling shall be
carefully done with proper equipment and in a manner to obtain a neat looking
joint free from excess filler.
Basis of Payment
610-4.1 The cost of the portland cement concrete and the reinforcing steel
required in this project shall be incidental to the costs of the individual
items and shall be included in the bid for that item. These incidental costs
are items such as the electrical vault, security fencing post foundations, head-
walls, inlets, manholes, drainage pipes, duct encasements, light fixture bases,

625-3.3 TEST SECTION. Prior to full production, the Contractor shall prepare a
quantity of mixture in the proportions shown in Table 1. The amount of mixture
shall be sufficient to place a test section of approximately 50 square yards at
the application rate shown in Table 1. The area to be tested will be designated
by the Engineer and will be located on the existing pavement.
The test sect ion sha 11 be used to verify the adequacy of the mi xture and to
determi ne the exact app 1 i cat i on rate. The same equ i pment and method of opera-
tions shall be used on the test section as will be used on the remainder of the
work.
If the test section should prove to be unsatisfactory, the necessary adjustments
to the mix composition, application rate, placement operations, and equipment
shall be made. Additional test sections shall be placed and evaluated, if
required.
Construction Methods
625-4.1 WEATHER LIMITATIONS. The sealcoat shall not be applied when the
surface is wet or when the humidity or impending weather conditions will not

sion shall be self-propelled, equipped with pneumatic tires, and cap-
able of uniformly applying 0.15 to 0.50 gallon per square yard of tar
emulsion over the required width of application. Distributors shall
be equipped with removable manhole covers, tachometers, pressure
gauges, and volume-measuring devices.
SP118/050184
P-625-2
(2)
Mixing Equipment. The mlxlng machine. sh~ll have a con~inuous flow
mixing unit capable of accurately de1lVerlng a predetermlned propor-
tion of water, emulsion, and rubber, and of discharging the thoroughly
mixed product on a continuous basis. The mixing unit shall be capable
of thoroughly blending all ingredients together.
Spreading Equipment. Attached to the mixing machine shall be a mech-
anical-type squeegee distributor, equipped with flexible material in
contact with the surface to prevent loss of rubberi zed emu 1 s i on from
the distributor. It shall be maintained to prevent loss of rubberized
emulsion on varying grades and adjusted to assure uniform spread.
There shall be a lateral control device and a flexible strike-off cap-
able of being adjusted to lay the rubberized emulsion at the specified
rate of application. The spreader box shall have an adjustable width.
The box shall be kept clean; asphalt build-up on the box shall not be
permitted.

625-4.3 PREPARATION OF PAVEMENT SURFACE. Bituminous pavement surfaces which
have been softened by petroleum derivatives or have failed due to any other
cause shall be removed to the fu 11 depth of the damage and rep 1 aced with new
bi tumi nous concrete s imil ar to that of the ex i st i ng pavement. Areas of the
pavement surface to be treated shall be in a firm consolidated condition. They
shall be sufficiently cured so that there is no concentration of oils on the
surface. This can usually be determined by pouring water on the surface to be
treated. If the water, after standing for a short period, picks up a film.of
oil, then that surface is not sufficiently cured for the application of the
sealcoat.
A period of 30 days shall elapse between the placement of a bituminous surface
course and the application of the sealcoat.
625-4.4 CLEANING EXISTING SURFACE. Prior to placing the sea 1coat, the surface
of the pavement shall be clean and free from dust, dirt, or other loose foreign
matter, grease, oi 1, or any type of oQject ionab 1e surface fi 1m. When directed
by the Engineer, the existing surface shall be cleaned with a power blower and
wire brushes.
Cracks should be minimal. Where vegetation exists in cracks, the vegetation
shall be removed and the cracks cleaned to depth of two inches where practical.
Those cracks shall be treated with a concentrated solution of a herbicide per P-
603-3.3. Cracks may be filled with the slurry at the time it is applied to the
pavement. Application must be made with a squeegee as specified in paragraph
4.2(3). Areas that have been subjected to fuel or oil spillage shall be wire
brushed to remove any dirt accumulations. The area shall then be primed with
shellac or a synthetic resin in prevent the sealcoat from debonding.
625-4.5 APPLICATION OF EMULSION. The emulsion shall be applied at a uniform
rate with a distributor at the rate specified in Table 1. When it is necessary
to dilute the emulsion in order to aid application, the emulsion may be diluted
with clean water but not more than 10 percent. When the emulsion, water and
rubber are blended, the material shall be premixed to produce a homogeneous mix-
ture of uniform consistency. The quantities of materials to be
SP118/050184
P-625-3
combined in each batch shall be in accordance with the proportions shown in
Tab 1 e 1.
Before application, the materials shall be proportioned accurately and mixed by
suitable mixing equipment. The emulsion and the water shall first be charged
into the mixer and blended to a desired consistency. The latex rubber shall
then be added. After all the constituents are in the mixer, the mixing shall
continue for approximately five minutes or longer, if necessary. The mixing
shall produce a smooth free flowing homogeneous mixture of uniform consistency.
Slow mixing shall be continuous from the time the bitumen is placed into the
mi xer until the rubberi zed emu 1 s ion is applied by di stri butor truck or poured
into the spreading equipment. During the entire mixing process, no breaking,
segregating, or hardening of the emulsion shall be permitted. The rubberized
emulsion shall be applied at a uniform rate to provide the desired amount. A
sufficient amount of rubberized emulsion shall be fed in the spreader box to
keep a full supply against the full width of the squeegee, so that complete
coverage of all surface voids and cracks is obtained.
In areas where a spreader box cannot be used, the slurry shall be app 1 i ed by
means of a hand squeegee.
Upon completion of the work, the sealcoat shall have no pin holes, bare spots,
or cracks through which liquids or foreign matter could penetrate to the under-
lying pavement. The finished surface shall present a uniform texture.
Each application shall be allowed to dry thoroughly before the next coat. is
app 1 i ed .
625-4.7 CURING. The mixture shall be permitted to dry for a minimum of 24
hours after the final application before opening to traffic and shall be suffi-
ciently cured to drive over without damage to the sealcoat. Any damage to the
uncured mixture will be the responsibility of the Contractor to repair.
625-4.8 HANDLING. The mixture shall be continuously agitated from the time it
had been mixed until its application on the pavement surface. The distributor
of applicator, pumps, and all tools shall be maintained in satisfactory working
condition. Spray bar nozzles, pumps, or othr equipment can be cleaned with
coal-tar toluene or xylene.
625-4.9 CONTRACTOR'S CERTIFICATION. The Contractor shall furnish the manufac-
turer's certification that each consignment of emulsion shipped to the project
meets the requirements of Federal Specification R-P-355, except the water con-
tent shall not exceed 50 percent. The Contractor shall furnish certification to
the Engineer that the latex rubber shipped to the project meets the requirements
of the material specified in paragraph 2.4. The certifications shall be
delivered to the Engineer prior to the beginning of work. The manufacturer's
certification for the emulsion and rubber shall not be interpreted as a basis
for final acceptance. Any certification received shall be subject to verifica-
tion by testing samples received for project use.

Description
627-1.0 GENERAL. Methods of grooving include the sawing of grooves in existing
or properly cured bituminous concrete. The sawed grooves shall be of uniform
width, depth, and alignment. This method is to provide an effective means of
removing water from the pavement/tire interface and improve the pavement skid
resistance of the runway. The grooving contractor shall not proceed with the
work until the asphaltic concrete pavement has sufficiently cured to prevent
displacement of aggregate. A Thirty (30) day curing period shall apply.
627-2.0 SAWED GROOVES. The contractor shall groove a test section to
demonstrate that his equipment will provide the required configuration within the
prescribed tolerances. These test section shall be a minimum of two equipment
passes in width and from one edge of the runway to the oppos ite edge. The
following conditions shal.l be met for flexible pavements overlay:
a. The groove pattern shall be 1/4" x 1/4" with center-to-center spacing of
1-1/411. The grooves shall be evenly spaced. Grooves should be continuous
for the complete length of the runway and transverse (perpendicular to the
direction of aircraft motion). The grooves shall be terminated within 10
feet of the left (northwest) runway pavement edge to allow adequate space
for the operation of the grooving equipment. The grooves shall be
terminated at the right (southeast) overlay edge. See paragraph 2~c.
referencing lighting fixture protection.
b. Tolerances should be established to define groove alignment, depth, width,
and spacing. Suggested tolerances are ~ 1-1/2" in alighmnet for 75 feet;
minimum depth 3/16", maximum width 5/16"; minimum spacing 1-1/811, maximum
spacing 1-1/211 center to center.
c. Grooves shall not be closer than 3 inches to transverse paving joints.
Grooves may be continued through longitudinal construction joints. The
contractor is liable for damage to light fixtures and cables.
d. Extreme care must be exercised when grooving near inrunway lighting
fixtures and subsurface wiring. Grooves should be sawed no nearer than 2
feet of the light fixture.
e. Cleanup is extremely important and should be continuous throughout the
grooving operation. The waste material collected during the grooving
operation must be disposed of by vacuuming. Waste material collected
during the grooving operation must not be allowed to enter the airport
sotrm or sanitary sewer, as the material will eventually clog the system.
Failure to remove the material can create conditions that will be hazardous
to aircraft operations.

Construction Methods
162-3.1 GENERAL. The fence shall be constructed in accordance with the details
on the plans and as specified herein using new materials. All work shall be
performed in a workmanlike manner satisfactory to the engineer. Prior to the
beginning of the work, the contractor shall locate the position of the work,
according to the plans, by establishing and marking the property line or fence
line, subject to approval by the resident engineer. When directed, the
contractor shall span the opening below the fence with barbed wire fastened to
stakes of the required length at locations of small natural or drainage ditches
where it is not pract i ca 1 to conform the fences to the general contour of the
ground surface, as required. The new fence shall be permanently tied to the
termi na 1 s of ex i st i ng fences whenever requ i red by the eng i neer. The fi n i shed
fence sha 11 be plumb, taut, true to 1 i ne and ground contour, and comp 1 ete in
every detail. When directed, the contractor shall be required to stake down the
chain link fence at several points between posts.
When directed, in order to keep stock on adj 0 i n i ng property i nc 1 osed at all
times, the contractor shall arrange the work so that construct i on of the new
fence will immediately follow the removal of existing fences. The length of
unfenced sect i on at any time shall not exceed 300 feet or it shall be of such
length that the stock can be kept in the proper field. The work shall progress
in this manner and at the close of the working day the newly constructed fence
shall be tied to the existing fence. Openings in the fence shall be guarded
when stock is using the adjoining property.
162-3.2 CLEARING FENCE LINE. The site of the fence shall be sufficiently
cleared of obstructions, and surface irregularities shall be graded so that the
fence wi 11 conform to the general contour of the ground. The fence 1 i ne shall
be cleared to a minimum width of 2 feet on each side of the centerline of the
fence. This clearing shall consist of the removal of all stumps, brush, rocks,
trees, or other obstructions which will interfere with proper construction of
the same fence. Stumps within the cleared area of the fence line shall be
grubbed or excavated. The bottom of the fence shall be placed a uniform dis-
tance above the ground, as specified on the plans. When shown on the plans or
as directed by the engineer, the existing fences which coincide with, or are in
a position to interfere with, the new fence location, shall be removed by the
contractor as a part of the construction work, unless such removal is listed as
a separate item in the bid schedule. All holes remaining after post and stump
removal shall be refilled with suitable soil, gravel, or other material accept-
able to the engineer and shall be compacted properly with tampers.

The work shall include the handling and disposal of all material cleared,
excavated, or removed, regardless of the type, character, composition, or condi-
tion of such material encountered. The material removed and disposed of shall
not constitute a pay item and shall be considered incidental to fence construc-
tion.
162-3.3 INSTALLING POSTS. All posts shall be spaced not more than 10 feet apart
as shown on the plans. Terminal (end, corner, pull, and brace) and gate posts
sha 11 be set as shown on the plans. All 1 i ne posts shall be set as shown on the
plans. The top of the concrete bases shall be slightly above the ground, trowel
finished, and sloped to drain away from the posts. Holes of full depth and size
for the concrete bases for posts shall be dug to the size and depth as shown on
the plans. Blasting of rock or other obstructions shall be done if necessary.
A 11 post settings sha 11 be done carefu lly so that a 11 posts sha 11 be vert i ca 1
and in true alignment and rigidly secured in position.
On termi na 1 (end, corner, pu 11, and brace) and gate posts, the post tops and
brace rail clamps around the posts shall be placed before setting the posts in
concrete bases. In setting the gate posts, great care must be taken to make
sure that gate posts are set the exact distance apart as shown on the plans.
For example, posts for a 6-foot gate must be set so as to leave an opening
exactly six feet wide. A line drawn across from the top of one gate post to the
other must be level, regardless of the grade at the ground line. If the ground
is not level, the upgrade gate post shall be set first to get the proper height
for the downgrade gate post.
No materials shall be installed on the posts, nor shall the posts be disturbed
in any manner within 7 days after the individual post footing is completed. The
concrete bases for line posts shall be allowed to cure for 7 days. The concrete
bases for end, corner, pull, brace, and gate posts shall be placed first and
allowed to cure for 14 days. Stretcher bar bands and truss bands as specified
on the plans shall be spread and slipped on end, corner, pull, brace, and gate
posts as the next operation. Post tops are then inserted on all other posts.
No extra compensation shall be made for rock excavation. Rock excavation shall
not be grounds for extension of time.
162-3.4 INSTALLING TOP RAILS. To start the installation, a length of top rail
shall be run through the first couple of post tops; a rail clamp shall be
assembled on the end, corner, or gate post, as the case may be. The end of the
rail already placed shall be butted into the clamp and fastened. The top rail
shall be installed along the run of the fence and the various sections joined
with sleeve couplings. The top rail shall be continuous and shall pass through
the post tops. At not more than every 100 feet an expans i on coup 1 i ng sha 11 be
placed to take care of expansion and contraction of the rail. The rail shall be
clamped in the end, corner, or gate post at the end of the run of the installa-
tion of top rail.
162-3.5 INSTALLING BRACES. Braces shall be provided for each gate, corner, pull
or end post when the top rail is omitted. When fabric height is 6 feet or
greater in height, braces shall be included for fencing with or without top
rails. Double braces shall be included when the fence height is 9 feet (2.7 m)
or greater. All horizontal braces shall be attached together with truss rods
and turnbuckles at all terminal (end, corner, and pull) and gate posts to the

162-3.6 INSTALLING FABRIC. The wire fabric shall be firmly attached to the
posts and braced in the manner shown on the plans. All wire shall be stretched
taut and shall be installed to the required elevations. The fence shall
generally follow the contour of the ground, with the bottom of the fence fabric
no less than 1 inch or more than 4 inches from the ground surface. Grading
shall be performed where necessary to provide a neat appearance.
At locations of natural swales or drainage ditches and where it is not practical
to have the fence conform to the general contour of the ground surface, longer
posts may be used and multiple strands of barbed wire stretched thereon to span
the opening below the fence. The vertical clearance between strands of barbed
wire shall be 6 inches or less.
The fabric shall be unrolled on the outside of the fence line with the bottom
edge of the fabric against the posts. The various rolls shall be spliced by
bringing the ends close together and weaving in a picket in such a way that it
wi 11 engate both of the ro 11 ends and catch wi th each twi st each separate mesh
of the end pickets of both rolls of fabric. The fabric shall be raised and tied
loosely to the top rail with a temporary tie wire at intervals of about 20 feet.
The fabric shall be installed by a method approved by the engineer. One method
used is given below.
(a) At end, corner, or gate posts, the stretcher bar shall be slipped
through the end picket of the fabric and the stretcher bar bands at the s"ame
time. Then the bolts in the stretcher bar bands shall be tightened. Additional
rolls of fabric shall be spliced and placed as the erection progresses along the
fence.
(b) In long sections, the fence shall be stretched at intervals of about
100 feet. After the stretching is complete, the fabric shall be tied to the top
rails with No. 6 gauge galvanized wire clips securely clinched at the back of
the rail. The fastenings shall be spaced not more than 24 inches on centers for
the top ra i l.
(c) The fabric shall be attached to the line posts with No. 6 gauge gal-
vanized wire clips securely clinched to the back of the line posts. The fasten-
i ngs sha 11 be spaced not more than 14 inches on centers for 1 i ne posts. The
topmost clip shall be placed on the line post as near the top of the fabric as
possible and the lowest clip as near the bottom of the fabric as possible.
(d) At terminal (end, corner, and pull) and gate posts the fabric shall be
fastened with stretcher bars and bands. The fastenings shall be spaced not more
than 14 inches on centers for terminal (end, corner, and pull) and gate posts.
The topmost band shall be placed on these posts as near the top of the fabric as
possible and the lowest band as near the bottom of the fabric as possible.
Standard chain-link fence stretching equipment shall be provided for stretching
the fabric before tying it to the rails and posts. The stretching and tying
operat ions shall be repeated about every 100 feet until the run of fence is
completed. Equipment of one type for performing the stretching operation may be
composed of four pieces of lumber (2 x 4's or larger) cut into a slightly
shorter length than the width of the fabric. The pieces shall be bored for six
bolts of about 1/2 or 5/8-inch diameter. One pair shall be used for stretching
SP118A/030785
F-162-5
the fabric and both pairs shall be used for making a closure of a run of the
fence.
Before making a closure, the other end of the run shall be fastened to the end,
corner, or gate post as described previously. The operation of making a closure
of a run shall be as follows. The stretching equipment as described above shall
be clamped on the ends of the fabric parallel to each other and about 5 feet
apart when the tension is first applied. The stretching shall continue until
the slack has been removed from both sections of the fabric. If the ends over-
lap, the fabric shall be cut to match. The ends shall be joined by the inser-
tion of a picket similar to the method of connecting two rolls of fabric.
162-3.7 INSTALLING GATES. The gates shall be hung on gate fittings as shown on
the plans. The lower hinge (ball and socket type) shall be placed on top of the
concrete footing in which the gate post is set; the concrete in the footing
shall extend up to the bottom of the lower hinge. The sockets for the cane or
foot bolts shall be set in concrete so that the plunger pin will fit perfectly
in the socket when the gate is in a closed position. Gates shall be erected to
swing in the direction indicated and shall be provided with gate stops as spec-
ified or as shown on the plans. All hardware shall be thoroughly secured,
properly adjusted, and left in perfect working order. Hinges and diagonal brac-
ing in gates shall be adjusted so that the gates will hang level.
162-3.8 EXISTING FENCE CONNECTIONS. Wherever the new fence joins an existing
fence, either at a corner or at the intersection of straight fence 1 ines, a
corner post with a brace post shall be set at the junction and braced the same
as herein described for corner posts or as shown on the plans.
If the connection is made at other than the corner of the new fence, the last
span of the old fence shall contain a brace span.
162-3.9 CLEANING UP. The contractor shall remove from the vicinity of the com-
pleted work all tools, buildings, equipment, etc., used during construction.
162-3.10 GROUNDING METAL FENCES. One grounding pipe is required for each 500
linear feet of fence, or fraction thereof. Sections of fence, regardless of
length, isolated by gates, gaps at splices, or plastic connectors, shall be
grounded independently. Electrical grounds shall be constructed where power
lines pass over the fence. The ground shall be installed directly below at the
point of crossing. Grounding of metal fences shall be accomplished by using a
3/411 minimum diameter galvanized iron pipe driven into the ground a minimum of
three feet. The iron pipe shall be so located and driven that it shall be
against the fence in its final position. The length of the pipe shall be such
that when it is driven into the ground the specified depth, the top of the pipe
shall be at the same height as the fence. The pipe shall be tightly fastened
with No. 11 galvanized iron wire at the top, center and bottom points of the
chain link fence.
162-3.11 GROUNDING METAL GATES AND POSTS. Grounding of metal posts shall be as
fo llows:

INSTALLATION OF AIRPORT UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL DUCT
Description
110-1.1 This item shall consist of underground electrical ducts installed in
accordance with this specification at the locations and in accordance with the
dimensions, designs, and details shown in the plans. This item shall include
the i nsta 11 at i on of all underground e 1 ectrica 1 ducts or underground condu its.
It shall al so incl ude all trenching, backfi 11 ing, removal, and restoration of
any paved areas; manholes, concrete encasement, mandreling installation of steel
drag wires and duct markers, capping, and the testing of the installation as a
completed duct system ready for installation of cables, to the satisfaction of
the Engineer.
Equipment and Materials
110-2.1 GENERAL. All equipment and materials covered by referenced specifica-
tions shall be subject to acceptance through manufacturer I s certification. of
compliance with the applicable specification when so requested by the Engineer.
110-2.2 BITUMINOUS FIBER DUCT. Bituminous fiber duct and fittings shall conform
to the requirements of Fed. Spec. W-C-581 or W-C-575 and shall be one of the
following, as specified in the proposal:
(a) Type I, for concrete encasement.
(b) Type II, for direct burial.
110-2.3 ASBESTOS CEMENT DUCT. Asbestos cement duct and fittings shall conform

size coarse aggregate, and a maximum slump of 5 inches.
110-2.7 PLASTIC CONDUIT. Plastic conduit and fittings shall conform to the
requirements of Fed. Spec. W-C-I094 and shall be one of the following, as speci-
fied in the proposal:
SP 118A/030785
L-ll0-1
(a) Type I - Suitable for underground use either directly in the earth or
encased in concrete.
(b) Type II - Suitable for either above ground or underground use. Con-
duit sealing bushings shall be O.Z. Electrical Mfg. Co., Type CSBG or
equal.
Construction Methods
110-3.1 GENERAL. The Contractor shall install underground ducts at the approxi-
mate locations indicated in the airport layout plans. The Engineer shall indi-
cate specific locations as the work progresses. Ducts shall be of the size,
material, and type indicated in the plans or specifications. Where no size is
indicated in the plans or specifications, the ducts shall be not less than 3
inches per 100 feet. On runs where it is not practicable to maintain the grade
all one way, the duct lines shall be graded from the center in both directions
toward manholes, handho 1 es, or duct ends. Pockets or traps where moi sture may
accumulate shall be avoided.
The Contractor shall mandrel each duct. An iron-shod mandrel, not more than
1/4-inch smaller than the bore of the duct shall be pushed through each duct by
means of jointed conduit rods. The mandrel shall have a leather or rubber gas-
ket slightly larger than the duct hole.
All ducts installed including spares shall be provided with either a No. 12 bare
copper conductor or a 3/8-inch polypropylene drag rope for pulling the permanent
wiring. Sufficient length shall be left in manholes or handholes to prevent the
wire or rope from slipping back into the duct. Where spare ducts are installed,
as indicated on the plans, the open ends shall be plugged with removable tapered
plugs, designed by the duct manufacturer or with hardwood plugs conforming
accurately to the shape of the duct having the larger end of the plug at least
1/4-inch greater in diameter than the duct.
All ducts shall be securely fastened in place during construction and progress
of the work and shall be plugged to prevent seepage of grout, water, or dirt.
Any duct section having a defective joint shall not be installed.
All ducts, except steel conduit, installed under runways, taxiways, aprons, and
other paved areas shall be encased in a concrete envelope.
Where turf is well established and the sod can be removed, it shall be carefully
stripped and properly stored.
Trenches for ducts may be excavated manually or with mechanical trenching equip-
ment. Walls of trenches shall be essentially vertical so that a minimum of
shoulder surface is disturbed. Blades of road patrols or graders shall not be
used to excavate the trench. The Contractor shall ascertain the type of soil or
rock to be excavated before bidding. All excavation shall be unclassified.
110-3.2 DUCTS ENCASED IN CONCRETE. Unless otherwise shown in the plans, con-
crete-encased ducts shall be installed so that the top of the concrete envelope
is not less than 18 inches below the finished subgrade where installed under
SP118A/030785
L-110-2
runways, taxiways, aprons, or other paved areas, and not 1 ess than 18 inches
below finished grade where installed in unpaved areas. Ducts under paved areas
shall extend at least 3 feet beyond the edges of the pavement or 3 feet beyond
any underdrains which may be installed alongside the paved area. Trenches for
concrete-encased ducts shall be opened the complete 1 ength before concrete is
laid so that if any obstructions are encountered, proper provisions can be made
to avoid them. All ducts for concrete encasements shall be placed on a layer of
concrete not less than 3 inches thick prior to its initial set. Where two or
more ducts are encased in concrete, the Contractor shall space them not 1 ess
than 1 1/2 inches apart (measured from outside wall to outside wall) using
spacers applicable to the type of duct. As the duct laying progresses, concrete
not less than 3 inches thick shall be placed around the sides and top of the
duct bank. End bells or couplings shall be installed flush with the concrete
encasement where required.
The Contractor shall reinforce the bottom, side and top of encasements with
steel reinforcing mesh or fabric or other approved metal reinforcement. When
directed, the Contractor shall supply additional supports where the ground is
soft and boggy, where ducts cross under roadways, or where otherwi se shown on
the plans. Under such conditions, the complete duct structure shall be sup-
ported on reinforced concrete footings, piers, or piles located at approximately
5-foot intervals.
110-3.3 DUCTS WITHOUT CONCRETE ENCASEMENT. Trenches for single-duct lines shall
be not less than 6 inches nor more than 12 inches wide, and the trench for 2 or
more ducts installed at the same level shall be proportionately wider. Trench
bottoms for ducts without concrete encasement shall be made to conform accur-
ately to grade so as to provide uniform support for the duct along its entire
length.
A 1 ayer of fi ne earth materi a 1, at 1 east 4 inches thi ck (loose measurement)
shall be pl aced in the bottom of the trench as bedding for the duct. The bed-
ding material shall consist of soft dirt, sand or other fine fill, and it shall
contain no particles that would be retained on a 1/4-inch sieve. The bedding
material shall be tamped until firm.
Unless otherwise shown in plans, ducts for direct burial shall be installed so
that the tops of all ducts are at least 18 inches below the finished grade.

TESTS AND APPENDIX
TEST 611 COMPACTION CONTROL TESTS
General
611-1.1 DESCRIPTION. This specification shall govern the determination of the
maximum density, field density, and percent compaction of those materials for
which a minimum percent compaction is specified. It covers the basic procedures
to be followed in performing the test for maximum density, field density, and
percent compaction. In all cases density shall be stated as the dry weight in
pounds per cubic foot.
611-2.1 MAXIMUM DENSITY. Maximum density is defined as the maximum dry weight
in pounds per cubic foot obtained when a material is mixed with different per-
centages of water and compacted in a standard manner. The percentage of water
at which maximum density is obtained is termed the optimum moisture content.
611-2.2 LABORATORY COMPACTION TESTS. The maximum density shall be determined by
the appropriate method shown below:
(a) Where all of the Material Passes a No.4 Sieve.
Method A (or B) for areas designed for aircraft weighing
and AASHO T 99, Method A (or B) for areas des i gned for
than 30,000 pounds.
(b) Where the Material Contains Particles Larger Than a No.4 Sieve. Use
AASHO T 180, Mechod C (or D) for areas designed for aircraft weighing 30,000
pounds or more, and AASHO T 99, Method C (or D) for areas designed for aircraft
weighing less than 30,000 pounds.
Use AASHO T 180,
30,000 pounds or more,
aircraft weighing less
(c) Where the Material Contains Particles Larger Than 3/4 Inch. Follow the
replacement procedure given in the note under Method C of AASHO T 99 or T 180.
611-3.1 FIELD DENSITY. Field density refers to the dry density expressed in
pounds per cubic foot of a layer of compacted material in place at the site as
determined by a sample representative of the compacted layer. The field density
shall be determined in accordance with AASHO T 147, AASHO T 181, ASTM 0 1556,
ASTM 0 2167, or other methods approved by the engineer.
611-4.1 PERCENT COMPACTION. The percent compaction is defined as the density of
the compacted layer expressed as a percentage of the maximum density of the
material when tested in accordance with these specifications.
