and shall show no significant tendency to air slake or
undergo any chemical change under exposure to
weather.

shall pass a 3 1/2-inch sieve and the material to be graded
uniformly down to dust. The fine material shall consist entirely
of dust of fracture. All crushing or breaking up which might
be necessary in order to meet such size requirements shall be
done before the material is placed on the road.
D. Quality:

A. Equipment: All equipment necessary for the proper
construction of the work shall be on the project, and in
first-class working condition.
B. Limits of Construction: The Contractor shall construct the base
to the full width shown on the Drawings.
3.2 PERFORMANCE

and the Iimerock base is to be placed shall be excavated to
the depth and dimensions shown in the Drawings. The
underlying subgrade shall be compacted sufficiently to assure
that no distortion will occur with the placement of the Iimerock
base.
B. Transporting Limerock: The Iimerock shall be transported to
the point where it is to be used, over rock previously placed if
practicable, and dumped on the end of the preceding
spread. No hauling over the subgrade or dumping on the
subgrade shall be done.
1/29/96
L1MEROCK BASE
02232-2
C. Spreading Limerock:
1. The Iimerock shall be spread uniformly, and all
segregated areas of fine or coarse rock shall be
removed and replaced with well-graded rock.
2. When the specified compacted thickness of the
base is greater than 8-inches, the base shall be
constructed in two courses. The thickness of the first
course shall be approximately one-half the total
thickness of the finished base, or enough additional to
bear the weight of the construction equipment without
disturbing the subgrade.
D. Compacting and Finishing Base:
1. General:
a. For single course base, prior to spreading, the
specific section requiring base shall be scarified
and then shaped so as to produce the required
grade and cross section after compaction.
b. For double course base, the first course shall be
cleaned of foreign material, bladed & brought to
a surface cross section approximately parallel to
that of the finished base. Prior to the spreading of
material for the upper course, the density tests for
the lower course shall be made and the County
Engineer shall have determined that the required
compaction has been obtained. After the
spreading of material for the second course is
completed, its surface shall be finished & shaped
so as to produce the required grade & cross
section after compaction &free of scabs &
laminations.
2. Moisture Content: When the material does not have
the proper moisture content to insurethe required
density, wetting or drying will be required. If the
material is deficient in moisture, water shall be added
and uniformly mixed in by discing the base course to its
full depth. If the material contains an excess of
1/29/96
02232-3
L1MEROCK BASE
moisture, such excess shall be reduced or removed until
the required moisture is attained before being
compacted. Wetting or drying operations shall involve
manipulation of the entire width and depth of
the base as a unit.
3. Density Requirements: As soon as proper conditions of
moisture are attained, the material shall be compacted
to a density of not less than that currently existing on the
compacted surface.
4. Density Tests:
a. During final compacting operations, if blading of
any areas is necessary to obtain the true grade
and cross section, the compacting operations for
such areas shall be completed prior to making
the density determinations on the finished base.
b. At least one density determination shall be made
at each location where Iimerock is placed on
each day's final operations on each course, & the
density determinations shall be made at more
frequent intervals if deemed necessary by the
Engineer.
5. Correction of Defects:
a. If at any time the unsuitable material should
become mixed with the base course material,
the Contractor shall dig out and remove the
mixture, reshape and compact the subgrade and
replace the materials removed with clean base
material, which shall be shaped and compacted
as specified above.
b. If cracks or checks appear in the base, either
before or after priming, which in the opinion of
the Engineer would impair the structural
efficiency of the base course, the Contractor shall
remove such cracks or checks by rescarifying,
reshaping, adding base material where
necessary and recompacting.
1/29/96
02232-4
L1MEROCK BASE
E. Testing Surface: The finished surface of the base course shall be
sufficient so that when the asphalt surface course is applied, no
irregularities exist or appear after traffic is placed on the final
surface. All irregularities shall be corrected by scarifying &
removing or adding Iimerock as may be required, after which
the entire area shall be recompacted as specified herein
before.
F. Thickness Determinations: The thickness of the
compacted Iimerock base shall vary to achieve the
final elevations as shown on the plans.
G. Priming and Maintaining:
1 . The prime coat shall be applied only when the base
meets the specified density requirements and the
oisture content in the top half of the base does not
exceed 90 percent of the optimum moisture content of
the base material. At the time of priming, the base shall
be firm and unyielding.
2. The Contractor will be responsible for assuring that the
true crown and grade are maintained with no rutting or
other distortion and that the base meets all the
requirements at the time the surface course is applied.
