Work under this item shall consist of designing, furnishing, installing, maintaining, and removing of a temporary water handling system. This may include water handling-cofferdams, bypass pipes, bypass pumps/hoses, temporary energy dissipation, sump pumps, drainage channels, water handling for ancillary drainage, and dewatering. A temporary water handling system redirects water beyond, through, or around the limits of construction to allow work to be done in the dry.

Such measures include: o temporary check dams, water bars, berms, dikes, dams o temporary sediment traps o pump settling basins o silt fence o inlet protection o hay bales o erosion control matting o fiber rolls, coir rolls, wattles o gravel, stone, riprap o mulch o permanent or temporary seeding o slope drains, ditches, channels, temporary drainage measures o dust control o topsoil o other erosion control materials, devices, or methods If a situation arises that requires immediate deployment of water pollution control measures, the Engineer will direct the Contractor to use this item to prosecute the work. If the Contractor proposes changes in construction methods or staging which would affect the as designed pollution controls, plans for revised pollution controls shall be submitted for the Engineer's approval prior to start of work. Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) is a self consolidating, rigid setting material to be used in backfills, fills, structural fills and elsewhere as indicated on the plans, or as directed by the Engineer. The flow and set time characteristics of CLSM shall be designed to meet the specific job conditions. All CLSM material covered by this specification shall be designed to be hand excavatable at any time after placement. It shall be composed of a mixture of Portland cement, aggregate, and water with the option of using fly ash, slag cement, airentraining agents, and other approved admixtures. This work shall consist of the installation and removal of temporary pavement at the locations shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. The work shall include the following: 1. Excavation, removal, and disposal of all existing materials within the limits of the temporary pavement including sawcutting of any existing pavement, 2. Grading and compacting remaining subbase or subgrade, 3. Furnishing, installation, and compaction of new subbase, 4. Application of tack coat as required on the vertical edges of any sawcut areas and between pavement lifts, 5. Placement and compaction of bituminous concrete pavement, 6.

Groove Width: 5 inches wide for 4-inch markings 7 inches wide for 6-inch markings 9 inches wide for 8-inch markings 13 inches wide for 12-inch markings Groove Depth: 0.080 inches +- 0.010 inches The groove shall not be installed continuously for intermittent (Dotted Lines and Broken Lane Lines) pavement markings, but only where markings are to be applied. The groove shall not be installed on metal bridge decks, on bridge joints, at drainage structures, at loop detector sawcut locations, or in other areas identified by the Engineer. The Asphalt Adjustment Cost will be based on the variance in price for the performance-graded binder component of the following: I. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA), II. Ultra-Thin Bonded HMA (UTB-HMA) and Ultra-Thin Bonded PMA (UTB-PMA), III. Thin Friction Wearing Course (TFWC), IV. Binder Rich Intermediate Courses (BRIC) and Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA), and V. Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal (ARCS) treatments completed and accepted during the Contract. Under the item included in the bid document, adequate weatherproof office quarters with related furnishings, materials, equipment, and otherservices,shall be provided by the Contractor for the duration of the work, and if necessary, for a close-out period determined by the Engineer.
