Question Deadline 01/17/2025 VDOT - M11 - Shoulder Wedging, Rumble Strip Install & Guardrail Upgrade This Special Provision implements Executive Order 61, ensuring equal opportunity and access for all Virginians in state contracting and public services. This work shall consist of preparing run-on guardrail terminal sites in accordance with the Plans, Specifications, and Standard Drawings, and as directed by the Engineer. This work shall consist of verifying underground utility locations by hand digging or test pitting at locations specified by the Engineer. This work shall consist of constructing slope repairs for the installation of guardrail in accordance with the Plans, Specifications, and this Special Provision. The work addressed by this specification includes site preparation; and furnishing and placing reinforced fill material, geosynthetic soil reinforcement, and erosion control facing. The work shall be in conformance with the lines, grades and dimensions shown on the Plans. 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. This work shall consist of the production and placement of a Thin Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete Overlay (THMACO) according to the Plans, Specifications, and as directed by the Engineer. 319.02 - Materials (a) Asphalt binder shall be a performance graded asphalt (PG) 64V-28 conforming to AASHTO M 332 and Section 210 or as designated by the Engineer (b) RAP: Recycled asphalt pavement material will not be permitted. (c) Coarse aggregate shall conform to Section 203 or as directed by the Engineer. Water Absorption when tested according to AASHTO T 85 shall be not exceed 2%. Material retained on the No. 4 sieve and larger sieves shall conform to the following when tested according to ASTM D4791: Flat & Elongated Ratio Maximum Content 3:1 25% 5:1 10% (d) Fine aggregate shall conform to Section 202, except for grading, which shall be tested according to AASHTO TP 33 (Method A) with a value of at least 45% and a sand equivalent value of at least 50 when tested according to AASHTO T 176. (e) Mineral filler shall conform to Section 201. (f) Fiber additive when required shall be cellulose or mineral fiber approved by the Engineer based on supplier's certification of properties and documentation of success in similar applications in hot mix asphalt. (g) Antistripping additive shall be used and shall be hydrated lime, a chemical additive from the Department's Approved List No. 7, or a combination of both. The approved chemical additive shall be added at a rate of not less than 0.30% by weight of the total asphalt content of the mixture. The mixture shall produce a tensile strength ratio (TSR) of at least 0.80 for the design and production tests. The TSR shall be determined according to AASHTO T 283, including a freeze-thaw cycle (4-inch specimens compacted with a Marshall Hammer or 3.5 by 6-inch specimens when compacted with a gyratory compactor), except that the 16-hour curing time requirement and the 72 to 96-hour storage period will not be enforced by the Department. Design tests shall use the same materials that are used in the production mix and shall be conducted in a laboratory approved by the Department. When a chemical additive is used, it shall be added to the asphalt binder prior to the introduction of the asphalt binder into the mix. Any chemical additive or particular concentration of chemical additive found to be harmful to the asphalt concrete or that changes the original asphalt binder performance grade (PG) shall not be used. (h) Hydrated lime shall conform to ASTM C977. Hydrated lime shall be added at a rate of at least 1% by weight of the total dry aggregate. This work shall consist of installing asphalt concrete mixtures into a constructed trench to widen shoulders and travel lanes up to but not including the surface mix in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and as directed by the Engineer. The Permittee (Area Construction Engineer) in coordination with the District Environmental Manager or Env Commitments Inspector shall ensure that flagging of surface waters within 50' of any authorized activities, that are located within VDOT ROW or easements and are not permitted to be impacted occurs prior to commencement of construction. All personnel involved in construction activities shall read and understand the NW#13 permit requirements; and all permit conditions (project specific, regional and general) shall be complied with during construction. If there are any proposed revisions in the permitted activities or plan of operations affecting the stream then the Environmental Section shall be contacted to determine if a permit modification is necessary prior to the revised instream activities taking place. Locations within this contract are in close proximity to Waters of the US (WOTUS). No impacts to WOTUS have been authorized beyond the following locations in Roanoke (1) station 131-30 to 133- 90 (260 LF) Guardrail Area 3 (GR3), (2) station 135-20 to 135-40 (20 LF) (GR3), and (3) station 146- 25 to 146-75 (50 LF) (GR5). Therefore, any impacts to other WOTUS shall be avoided. Tree removal or trimming is not anticipated for this project and is currently not authorized. If the contractor determines that tree removal or trimming is necessary to complete the work, no removal or trimming shall take place until approval is obtained from the ACE and DEM. Per SP for Tree Removal TOYR for Roosting Bat Habitat, trees greater than or equal to 3" DBH and located within the project limits (LOD or easements) shall be trimmed or removed outside of the TOYR of 4/1- 11/14.
