CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:

Raised Asphalt Rumble Strips: The roadway surface on which the rumble strips are to be attached shall be dry, free of surface contaminants such as dust or oil, and shall be 8°C or greater unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. The pavement surface shall be cleaned with compressed air just prior to tack coating and subsequent installation of rumble strips. Temporary rumble strips shall be placed in a succession of three 6 Strip Patterns according to the attached “Suggested Layout Details - Temporary Rumble Strips”. Each strip shall be placed on three meter centers and traversing the full width of each travel lane. On curbed roadways , rumble strips shall end a minimum of 0.9 meters from the curb so as to not interfere with drainage. Rumble strips shall be between 150 mm and 225 mm in width and have a final compacted thickness of 10 mm ±3 mm. Temporary rumble strips shall be formed using a specially constructed rumble strip paver (drag box) pulled transversely across the pavement, or by hand placement between forms fixed to the pavement. If forms are used, they shall be removed prior to compaction of the asphalt mixture. Compaction shall be accomplished using a plate tamper or a static roller. Any raised rumble strips that fail to adhere to the pavement, or become damaged or flattened such that, in the opinion of the Engineer, they are no longer performing their intended function, shall be replaced or repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any associated damage to the pavement shall also be repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. These replacements or repairs shall be made at no additional expense to the Purchasing Agency. When directed by the Engineer, (e.g., prior to the start of the winter plowing season), or prior to the placement of successive pavement courses, the Contractor shall completely remove the rumble strips from the pavement. Rumble strips shall be removed upon completion of work and concurrently with the removal of other temporary traffic control signs and devices. Any pavement that is damaged in the process of removing the rumble strips shall be repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer at no additional expense to the Purchasing Agency.

Raised Removable Tape Rumble Strips:

The rumble strips shall be formed by applying four layers of removable preformed pavement marking tape. The tape shall be applied to a clean, dry pavement surface in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The pavement surface shall be cleaned with compressed air just prior to application of the tape. Temporary rumble strips shall be placed in a succession of three 6 Strip Patterns according to the attached “Suggested Layout Details - Temporary Rumble Strips”. Each strip shall be placed on three meter centers and traversing the full width of each travel lane. On curbed roadways , rumble strips shall end a minimum of 0.9 meters from the curb so as to not interfere with drainage. Sufficient layers of tape shall be applied such that each finished rumble strip has a thickness of 10 mm ± 3mm and is between 150 mm and 225 mm in width. Any raised rumble strips that fail to adhere to the pavement, or become damaged or flattened such that, in the opinion of the Engineer, they are no longer performing their intended function, shall be replaced or repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Any associated damage to the pavement shall also be repaired by the Contractor to the satisfaction of the Engineer. These replacements or repairs shall be made at no additional expense to the Purchasing Agency. When directed by the Engineer, (e.g. prior to the start of the winter plowing season), or prior to the placement of successive pavement courses, the Contractor shall completely remove the rumble strips from the pavement.

DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS ITEM 18618.80 GSB-88 EMULSIFIED ASPHALT SEAL COAT DESCRIPTION The work covered by this specification includes the design, testing, construction, and quality control required for the proper application of an emulsified asphalt seal coat. Application and handling shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. MATERIALS The emulsified asphalt seal coat shall be GSB-88 as manufactured by Asphalt Systems, Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah. The Contractor shall supply certification that each shipment of emulsified asphalt seal coat materials meets the following requirements: GSB-88 Concentrate Saybolt Viscosity @ 25°C (77°F) ASTM D-244 ..............................20-100 Sec. Residue by Distillation2 or Evaporation2...........................................57% Min. Sieve test ASTM D-244 ....................................................................0.2% Max. 5-day Settlement Test ASTM D-244.................................................5.0% Max. Particle charge ASTM D-2441...........................................................Positive GSB-88 ready-to-Apply:

Saybolt Viscosity @ 25°C (77°F) ASTM D-244 ..............................10 to 50 sec. Residue by Distillation2 or Evaporation2...........................................28% Min. 1:1 Dilute

Tests on Residue

Viscosity @ 135°C (275°F), Brookfield3 ASTM D-4402.................1750 cP Max. Solubility in Trichloroethelene % .....................................................97.5 Min. Penetration @ 25°C (77°F) ...............................................................50 Max. Asphaltenes .......................................................................................15 Min. Saturates ............................................................................................15 Max. Polar Compounds ..............................................................................25 Min. Aromatics ..........................................................................................15 Min.

Notes:

1. pH may be used in lieu of the particle charge test which is sometimes inconclusive in slow setting, bituminous emulsions.

2. ASTM D-244 is modified by reducing the temperature to 149°C (300°F) for distillation and evaporation test methods to protect the integrity of the rejuvenating agents that are present in rejuvenating emulsions.

3. Contact your Brookfield representative for the proper spindle for your specific model viscometer to test the emulsion liquid of 1750 cP maximum viscosity.

Dilution: The emulsified asphalt concentrate shall be diluted with water prior to application to the asphalt pavement. The water shall always be added to concentrated emulsion and not the reverse. The dilution rate shall be 1 part GSB-88 concentrate to 1 part water. Exceeding recommended dilution rates is not recommended without consulting a responsible manufacturer’s representative.



DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS (Cont’d.) CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Equipment: All equipment necessary for the satisfactory performance of this work shall be on hand and approved before the work is permitted to begin. The material shall be applied with standard bituminous distributors equipped with working mechanical gauges capable of determining the amount of emulsion used at any given time. Spreader bar tips shall be kept clean and adjusted for regulated flow. All equipment, tools and machines used in the performance of this work shall be maintained in good working condition throughout the life of the Contract. Surface preparation: The surface to receive the seal coat shall be clean and free of all loose dirt, dust and other debris. Any necessary repairs and patching of pavement shall be completed before application of the sealer. Rate of Spread: Spread rate shall be determined by the texture, porosity and age of asphalt pavement to be sealed. Application rate will vary from 0.45 to 0.7 liters per square meter (0.1 to 0.15 gal. per square yard). Exceeding recommended application rates is not recommended without consulting a responsible manufacturer’s representative. Application: Application rates shall be as stated above or as directed by the Engineer. The seal coat shall not be applied to wet or damp pavement surface or when rain is anticipated within four to eight hours after application is completed. Pavement surface temperatures shall be 13° C (55° F) or higher and air temperature shall be at least 10° C (50° F). Application shall take place only between April 1 and October 31. At least three hours of daylight shall remain after completion of the application. Traffic shall not be allowed on the surface until the sealer and binding agent has penetrated and fully cured. Sanding: The sand used shall be a hard highly fractured material dark black in color, free of clay and organic matter, and shall be of a consistent chemistry and specific gravity to provide high breakdown resistance. Sanding shall be accomplished immediately following application of the seal coat by means of a mechanical spreader mounted on the bituminous distributor or sanding vehicle suitable to disperse sand in an even manner without driving on wet emulsion. Sand shall be spread at a rate of 0.2 to 0.54 kg per square meter (0.5 to 1.0 pounds per square yard). METHOD OF MEASUREMENT The work performed under this specification shall be measured in square meters. BASIS OF PAYMENT Payment per square meter shall include all materials, labor, site preparation and all incidentals necessary for the completion of the sealing operation.
