UPC : 125587 District: Richmond Route Number: Various State Project Number: PM4G-020-F25, P401 Federal Project Number : County City: Chesterfield Construction Begin Site Various Construction End Site Time Limit : 11/21/2025 SWAM 4 Question Deadline 11/15/2024 VDOT - 467 - 2025 Plant Mix - Secondary - Various The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is firmly committed to the formation of a partnering relationship with the Contractor, all subcontractors, suppliers, FHWA representatives; where appropriate, other federal agencies, local government officials, utilities representatives, law enforcement and public safety officials, consultants, and other stakeholders to effectively and efficiently manage and complete each construction or maintenance contract to the mutual and individual benefits and goals of all parties. Partnering is an approach to fulfilling this commitment where all parties to the contract, as well as individuals and entities associated with or otherwise affected by the contract, willingly agree to dedicate themselves by working together as a team to fulfill and complete the construction or maintenance contract in cost effective ways while preserving the highest standards of safety and quality called for by the Contract combined with the goals of on time/on budget completion. The approach must still allow for the fact that the members of the team share many common interests yet have differing authorities, interests, and objectives that must be accommodated for the project to be viewed as successful by all parties. It is recognized by VDOT that partnering is a relationship in which: o Trust and open communications are encouraged and expected by all participants o All parties move quickly to address and resolve issues at the lowest possible level by approaching problems from the perspectives and needs of all involved o All parties have identified common goals and at the same time respect each other's individual goals and values o Partners create an atmosphere conducive to cooperation and teamwork in finding better solutions to potential problems and issues at hand This work shall consist of renovating existing low (erosion or overlay) and high shoulders (debris buildup) and shoulders disturbed due to plant mix overlay or guardrail work as specified in the Contract Documents to provide finished shoulder designs and guardrail heights that conform to the Specifications, Standard Drawings, and Plans. For the purposes of this provision, machining shoulders and manual shoulder restoration shall be viewed as placing, grading, and compacting operations of approved shoulder materials performed by mechanized equipment or manually. Materials allowed for renovating shoulders shall include furnishing and delivery of these materials to the jobsite or to the location(s) designated in the Contract Documents. This work shall consist of furnishing and placing stabilized and paved shoulder overlay on existing stabilized and paved shoulder surfaces according to the Road and Bridge Standards and the Specifications. The purpose of this work is to provide a resurfaced shoulder with a slope and guardrail height that conforms to the Road and Bridge Standards, the Specifications and the requirements herein when work is completed. This provision shall govern cold planing (milling) asphalt concrete operations in preparation for pavement repair and/or pavement overlay. Cold planing of asphalt concrete pavement shall be performed according to Section 515 of the Specifications and the requirements herein. This work shall consist of establishing the location of retroreflective pavement markings and installing pavement markings and pavement markers in accordance with the MUTCD, the Contract, and as directed by the Engineer. This work shall consist of maintaining a daily log, Form C-85, to record project and Contractor identification; project location; material installation time, date and location; environmental conditions; material composition; and material application rates for both temporary and permanent pavement markings and markers. This specification covers glass beads and retroreflective optics applied on the surface or incorporated into traffic-marking materials so as to produce a retroreflective surface. Retroreflectors are retroreflective surfaces that redirect the vehicle headlights back to the driver to delineate the road. The retroreflective surface may consist of a plastic prismatic reflector or retroreflective sheeting. Retroreflectors are used with: o Pavement Markers (Permanent and Temporary) o Delineators (Guardrail, Barrier, Flexible Post, Road Edge) Pavement markers and Delineators shall be approved by reviewing performance data from one or both of the following test programs: (a) AASHTO's National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (AASHTO/NTPEP). Test data values used for approval may be based upon the data generated per the applicable NTPEP Work Plan. (b) VDOT Test Facility - VDOT may elect to evaluate performance from their own test facility. This work shall consist of constructing one or more courses of asphalt concrete on a prepared foundation in accordance with these Specifications and within the specified tolerances for the lines, grades, thicknesses, and cross sections shown on the plans or established by the Engineer. At the Contractor's option, the asphalt concrete mix may be produced using a warm-mix additive or warm-mix process approved by the Department. When used, the temperature placement limitations for Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) shall apply. This work shall also consist of constructing asphalt concrete curb and rumble strips in accordance with these Specifications, plan details, and the Standard Drawings.
