Specifications include, but are not limited to: This project will require the removal of excess material from the existing pavement by mechanical means prior to paving routes. Excess material generated by clipping excessive shoulder material from the existing pavement will be required to be removed by the Contractor. The Contractor should take care in removing excessive material from the existing pavement to minimize the amount of disturbance to adjacent established vegetation. ; Attach a device, mounted on screed of paving equipment, capable of constructing a shoulder wedge with an angle of 30 degrees plus or minus 4 degrees along the outside edge of the roadway, measured from the horizontal plane in place after final compaction on the final surface course. Use an approved mechanical device which will form the asphalt mixture to produce a wedge with uniform texture, shape and density while automatically adjusting to varying heights.
