Specifications include, but are not limited to: Contractors will be expected to provide all labor and equipment necessary for repairing and overlaying with hot mix bituminous material the streets and parking lots of the University campus. This work may also include saw cutting existing asphalt, removing damaged or unsatisfactory sub grades, installing and compacting fill material or gravel. All waste material shall be removed from campus by the contractor. All asphalt and gravel will be provided by the University. The amount of material needed for each job will be agreed upon prior to starting work. The areas to be repaired and paved plus any areas to be overlaid will be marked or clearly identified on plans or maps. The beginning and ending points will be clearly marked on the pavement by a member of the Facilities Management staff. Overlaying with hot mix material will be performed within one (1) week after the completion of milling or sub grade repairs. The proposed work will be reviewed by the contractor and the Director of the Facilities Management department or his designee before and after the work is performed. The beginning and ending sections will be tapered to smoothly blend with the existing asphalt. Saw cutting or milling of existing asphalt is required at all tie in points. Some streets and parking areas will be overlaid that do not require milling. These areas will be overlaid with hot mix bituminous material that meets MDOT specifications. Binder or “tack” will be applied to the existing surface prior to paving. All failed areas or soft spots will be excavated and patched by the contractor before overlaying of the area begins. The hot mix material will be tapered at the edges of the gutter line so that no paving occurs in the gutter. New parking lots must be final graded by contractor before placing hot mix material. Traffic control, flag men, temporary signage, barricades and other safety measures are the responsibility of the contractor.
