The work specified in this Technical Provision consists of the in-place construction of a Cold Recycled Bituminous Base Course, using either reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material and/or reclaimed aggregate material (RAM), combined with virgin aggregates and/or bituminous material. It is the intent of this contract to recycle 100% of the existing asphalt pavement and a predetermined portion of the base, as necessary to ensure that the completed recycled base course will be of a consistent material and thickness throughout, including, but not limited to, all existing asphalt pavement and base adjacent to all concrete curbing, storm sewer inlets, manholes, sanitary sewer manholes, and all utility valve boxes. The existing asphalt pavement and base in the above-described locations must be included in the recycling process in order to construct a bituminous base course with a uniform thickness throughout 100% of the proposed area. The intent of this contract is to utilize the specified process which is clearly defined within this specification. Therefore, Full Depth Reclamation or any variation of Full Depth Reclamation will not be accepted.
