Reference Number AB-2021-04737 Asphalt & Concrete Replacement Program 1.0 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS: 1.1 All reference to "Specifications" in this Tender document will be understood to mean Government of Alberta - Transportation's Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (Edition 15, 2013) unless otherwise noted. 1.2 The scope of work for this project shall include but is not limited to the following: o Subgrade Excavation as applicable o Cold Milling as applicable o Granular Base Course o Asphalt Concrete Pavement o Concrete Curb, Gutter & Sidewalk 1.3 Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall supply all materials necessary to complete the Work. A complete job is called for. Therefore, any labour, material, equipment, tool or incidental item not specifically mentioned, but necessary for completeness will be considered incidental to the Work and no separate or additional payment will be made. 1.4 All concrete will be 30Mpa at 28 days and be formed to look like existing concrete. 1.5 The Contractor shall supply aggregates entirely from sources of his own choice. Supply of aggregate will not be paid for separately. The cost of supplying aggregate is considered incidental to the work or included in the unit price bid for the work for which the aggregate is being produced. 1.6 "Granular Fill - Pit Run" may be under this Contract as backfill material in areas where additional excavation is required as a result of unforeseen deleterious material or where additional subgrade strengthening may be necessary. 1.7 Based on site conditions at the time of construction, the Owner may choose to eliminate in whole or in part, any work and quantity associated with "Granular Fill - Pit Run". The Contractor shall have no claim whatsoever against the Owner for any adjustments to the Unit Price Schedule estimated quantities and/or actual quantities utilized based on "on site" field decisions by the Owner. 1.8 The granular base course material shall not be placed until the underlying subgrade or granular sub-base course has been inspected and approved by the Owner. The subgrade or sub-base shall be shaped to cross-section shown on the drawings, or as directed by the Owner, and shall be maintained free of ruts, waves, and undulations by whatever means are necessary. 1.9 Unless otherwise specified, the granular material shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding a 200 mm compacted depth. 1.10 The material shall be compacted by rolling with a pneumatic tired or vibrating roller of a type approved by the Engineer/Owner. The material shall be compacted near the optimum moisture content to 98% Standard Proctor Density. If the moisture content exceeds the optimum during compaction, the material shall be aerated by mechanical means until it has dried sufficiently to obtain the specified compaction. If the moisture content is below the optimum, water shall be added by an acceptable applicator, and in such quantities, to achieve the specified moisture content. 1.11 The work shall be performed in accordance with Section 3.50, Asphalt Concrete Pavement (EPS), of the "Standard Specifications for Highway Construction". 1.12 No additional payment will be made to the Contractor for greater thicknesses unless approved by the Owner. 1.13 Smoothness 1.13.1 The surface of the compacted pavement shall be true to the required grade and cross-section with a smooth riding quality acceptable to the Owner. 1.13.2 In addition to the above, when checked with a three metre (3 m) straight-edge held in successive positions parallel or perpendicular to the center line and in contact with the surface, the pavement surface shall not deviate from the straight-edge by more than three millimetre (3mm). 1.13.3 If, in the opinion of the Consultant, an objectionable riding surface exists or a depression or a bump, the Contractor shall either grind and resurface with an asphalt overlay or remove and replace the asphalt surface. 1.14 Texture 1.14.1 The completed pavement shall have a tightly knit texture and shall be free from segregation and surface cracking. Mixes that are excessively tender, or difficult to roll, shall be redesigned by the Contractor's Engineer in order to remedy the situation. The new design shall meet all of the requirements of this section and shall be submitted to the Consultant for approval at least three (3) working days prior to its use. 1.15 Fuel, asphalt, and any other spills shall be cleaned up to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering & Infrastructure at the Contractor's expense. 1.16 Work that does not meet the foregoing requirements shall be repaired or reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering & Infrastructure and at the Contractor's expense.
