Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1. The planing depth shall match the combined thicknesses of the proposed intermediate and surface courses of asphalt concrete. The finished cross-slope of the planed surface and the finished asphalt concrete surface shall be the same, typically 3/16” per foot.2. Paving is to be a continuous operation. Regulate the speed of the paver to eliminate stops between loads. 3.Do not place asphalt concrete when the air temperature is less than sixty (60) degrees F° unless waived by the Sandusky County representative on site. 4. Do not place asphalt concrete on wet surfaces. In the event of rain during the paving operation, only those trucks in route immediately after the rain has started will be permitted to unload.5.Do not permit traffic on asphalt concrete until it has cured sufficiently so no marking will appear.6.Contractor shall use a string line to establish a straight edge. String line shall be placed on outside edge of pavement, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer.7.Transverse joints shall be minimized or avoided all together. Locations of transverse joints shall be subject to the Engineer’s approval.8.In areas where the surface is required to be feathered to meet an adjoining surface, coat the existing surface uniformly with a thin coat of asphalt binder. The Contractor may choose to mill a butt joint instead. There shall be no additional cost for this work. 9.Place surface course within seven (7) days of intermediate course.
