Hot-mix surfacing material shall meet the following requirements: Asphaltic Cement Hot Mix Surface Course in accordance with Section 407 of the ARDOT Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. EXECUTION a). Asphalt surfaces for pavements, streets, roads, driveways, parking lots and walks shall be repaired with hot mix asphalt. The finished surface shall match and shall be level with surrounding pavement. b). Before replacing paved surfacing, the existing pavement shall be cut, sawed, or trimmed along straight and vertical lines along each side of the trench. c). Remove all saw cut debris, organic silty and clayey topsoil and other unsuitable material removed and replaced with approved material. Fill and tamp traces of utility trenches. Replace soft spots as needed. d). Spread base course the same day the material Is hauled. It shall be thoroughly mixed, either by repeated handling with a blade grader or by harrowing to secure a uniform mixture or coarse and fine particles. e). Base course shall be compacted in 8-inch lifts to achieve 95 Percent Standard Proctor Minimum density (ASTM D698). f). The base coarse shall be finished smooth and rolled with a steel wheel or pneumatic tired roller, or other compaction equipment to compact the uppermost portion of the repair area. HOT-MIX SURFACING FOR ASPHALTIC PAVING a). Plant Mixing and Transporting: Mixing, transportation, and temperature limitations for hotmix surface course materials shall be in accordance with the requirements of Division 400, Asphalt Pavements of the ARDOT Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. b).

The mixture shall be spread by hand or suitable machine immediately after delivery to the work site to a depth which will match adjacent pavement surfaces after rolling. The mixture shall be thoroughly compacted by passing a steel wheel roller over the surface course immediately after being spread. The mixture shall be continuously rolled until all roller marks are eliminated and no further compaction is possible. The final surface shall match adjacent pavement surfaces and shall not have any depressions or raised surfaces across the repaired area.
