LADOT - LA 764: Pipe Replacement Furnish and place Class II base course on a prepared surface in accordance with these specifications, in conformity with the lines, grades, thickness, and typical sections shown on the plans or established by the engineer. Control the selection, placement, mixing and compaction of materials so that the completed base course is uniform and conforms to plan dimensions and other acceptance requirements. Quality assurance requirements shall be as specified in the latest edition of the Department's publication titled Application of Quality Assurance Specifications for Embankment and Base Course. Unless approved otherwise in writing, use the same base course material throughout the project in accordance with these specifications. Immediately prior to application of base course on existing pavement, remove raised pavement markers at no direct pay. When asphalt concrete or portland cement concrete is specified on the plans, the total thickness of asphalt concrete or portland cement concrete shall be the thickness as indicated on the plans. When the base course material is not specified on the plans, any of the following types may be used: 1. Soil Cement 2. Crushed Stone 3. Asphalt Concrete on Embankment Layer 4. Recycled Portland Cement Concrete 5. Blended Calcium Sulfate For Asphalt Concrete on Embankment Layer, the top half of the base course thickness shall be asphalt concrete. The remaining thickness of the base shall be the same type and construction as the top layer of the underlying embankment, treated layer, or subgrade, or in accordance with Section 203 for placement on existing ground. Do not place raw, untreated material between a treated layer and the asphalt concrete layer. In areas that are inaccessible for mixing and compacting, such as in turnouts, crossovers, and other isolated or irregular areas, full depth portland cement concrete or full depth asphalt concrete base course may be used in lieu of the specified Class II base course material with approval. When portland cement concrete is used, unless otherwise specified or approved by the engineer, the minimum thickness shall be 6 inches. Construct, install, and adjust manholes, junction boxes, catch basins, culvert end treatments, and safety ends in accordance with these specifications and in conformity with lines and grades shown on the plans or established. Furnish and construct portland cement concrete walks, curb ramps, drives and incidental paving slabs in accordance with these specifications and in conformity with lines, grades, and dimensions shown on the plans or established. This work shall consist of capturing and transferring ticketing data related to delivery of construction materials through electronic or digital exchange. Electronic tickets are also referred to as e-tickets. This specification covers hot-sprayed, hot-extruded, ribbon gun, and preformed thermoplastic compound for pavement markings on asphalt or portland cement concrete pavement. Thermoplastic marking material shall consist of an alkyd based formulation. Nonpreformed material shall be manufactured so as to be applied by spray 40 mils thick or extrusion 90 mils thick or greater to pavement in molten form, with internal and surface application of glass spheres, and upon cooling to normal pavement temperature, shall produce an adherent, reflectorized pavement marking of specified thickness and width, capable of resisting deformation. Black thermoplastic pavement markings shall require skid-resistant filler in lieu of glass beads. Black thermoplastic pavement markings shall have identical material properties to their white thermoplastic counterparts with the exception of color. For yellow thermoplastic material, the type and amount of yellow pigment shall be at the option of the manufacturer, providing all other requirements of this specification are met. However, the pigment for yellow thermoplastic shall be lead free and shall meet the regulatory level of nonhazardous waste as defined by 40 CFR 261.24 when tested in accordance with EPA Method 1311, Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedures. The manufacturer shall provide certification that the material provided meets these requirements. Furnish and construct a finish course of asphalt concrete mixture in conformance with these specifications and in conformance with the lines, grades, thicknesses, and typical sections shown on the plans or established. A finish course is defined as a 501 thin lift mix placed over a 502 asphaltic concrete pavement or a Portland cement concrete pavement. Comply with Section 503 and the Application of Quality Assurance Specifications for Asphalt Concrete Mixtures (QA Manual). Use a DOTD certified laboratory accredited by AMRL, CMEC, or other accreditation agency approved by DOTD. These specifications apply to all asphalt concrete thin lift mixtures with typical plan thicknesses between 3/4 inches and 1 1/2 inches. The following mixtures are further described herein and as shown on the plans: 1. Dense Mix - traffic volumes less than 3,500 ADT. 2. Coarse Mix - all traffic volumes. Can be substituted in place of Dense Mix without change order. 3. Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) - all traffic volumes, typically specified for use on Interstate Highway System. Can be substituted in place of Coarse Mix or Dense Mix applications without change order. Furnish, install, and clean pipe, pipe arch, storm drains, and sewers, also referred to as culverts or conduits, in accordance with these specifications and in conformity with the lines and grades shown on the plans or as established by the engineer. Furnish and place raised pavement markers in accordance with the plans. The contractor shall be responsible for field layout and alignment of raised pavement markers. Existing pavement striping shall generally be used as a guide in determining raised marker locations. Any required striping will be placed prior to installation of raised pavement markers. TYPE: Culvert replacement, earthwork, pavement removal, rip rap, erosion control, patching and pavement markings and related work *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
