GENERAL PROVISIONS 4017 00700 - 1 SECTION 00810 SPECIAL CONDITIONS These special conditions amend or supplement the General Provisions of the Construction Contract, as referred to in Section 00700, and other provisions of the Contract Documents as indicated below. All provisions which are not so amended or supplemented remain in full force and effect. . SC.01 DEFINITION OF TERMS Calendar Day: A calendar day is defined in Item 1.0 of the General Provisions. Working Day: A working day is defined in Item 1.0 of the General Provisions. SC.02 LOCATION OF PROJECT The project is located on the MacArthur Blvd. south of Sandy Lake Drive. SC.03 SCOPE OF WORK The work to be performed under this contract consists of furnishing all materials, labor, supervision, tools, equipment, and all incidentals required and performing all work necessary for the construction of MacArthur Park Parking Lot Expansion as set forth in the plans and specifications and the Agreement. SC.04 CONFLICT OF INTEREST City Charter states that no officer of employee of the City shall have a financial interest, direct or indirect, in any contract with the City, nor shall be financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the sale to the City of any land, or rights or interest in any land, materials, supplies or services. This prohibition does not apply when the interest is represented by ownership of stock in a corporation involved, provided such stock ownership amounts to less than one percent (1 %) of the corporation stock. Any violation of this prohibition will constitute malfeasance in office. Any officer or employee of the City found guilty thereof should thereby forfeit his office of position. Any violation of this prohibition with the knowledge, expressed or implied, of the persons or corporations contracting with the City shall render the contract voidable by the City Manager or the City Council. The Contractor represents that no employee or officer of the City has an interest in the Contractor. SC.05 AWARD OF CONTRACT AND COMMENCEMENT OF WORK The Owner will notify the successful bidder of the City's acceptance of the Proposal in writing within sixty (60) days after the date of opening bids. If the total contract amount exceeds $25,000, the Contractor shall complete the execution of the required performance and payment bonds and contract within ten (10) days from the date specified in a written work order to be issued by the Owner. No work shall commence prior to the issuance of such work order or before the required insurance has been obtained by the Contractor, with certificates filed with the Owner evidencing the required coverage to be in force. Should the Owner unreasonably delay the issuance of the work order through no fault of the Contractor, the Contractor shall be entitled only to an equitable extension of contract time, the contract amount to remain unchanged. SC.06 TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION At such time as actual construction has been started, the work will not be stopped or delayed without written permission of the Owner, excluding delays caused by adverse weather conditions. The Contractor shall maintain at all times sufficient equipment and personnel on the project to produce satisfactory progress during the construction period. SPECIAL CONDITIONS 401 00810 -1 All items of work included in the Base Bid and Alternate Bids shall be completed as identified in the Bid Proposal Form. The work order shall consist of a written request by the Owner's Representative for the Contractor to proceed with the construction of the project. SC.07 TIME FOR COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Dates for Substantial Completion of the two phases of work in the Contract are stipulated in Section 01010, "Summary of Work." Failure of the Contractor to complete the Work within the numbers of calendar days calculated from the date of the issuance of the work order will result in damages being sustained by the Owner. Two numbers of calendar days for the Contract will be calculated. They will be the numbers of days between the date of issuance of the work order and each of the two stipulated dates of completion in Section 01010. As illustrated in Section 01010, two sets of liquidated damages are possible — one set for each of the two phases of the Work. Such damages are, and will continue to be, impracticable and extremely difficult to determine. The Contractor will pay the Owner TWO HUNDRED FIFTY dollars ($250.00) for each day of delay in finishing the Work in excess of time specified for substantial completion, plus any authorized time extensions. Execution of the contract under these specifications shall constitute agreement by the Owner and Contractor that TWO HUNDRED FIFTY dollars ($250.00) per day for each of the two described phases of Work is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by failure of the Contractor to complete the Work within the allotted time, that such sum is liquidated damages and shall not be construed as a penalty, and that such sum may be deducted from payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs. The Owner will be the sole judge as to whether the work has been completed within the allotted time. The amount or amounts of liquidated damages shall be recovered by deducting same from the monies due, or that may become due the Contractor from Owner and, if said monies be insufficient to cover the amount owning, then the Contractor or his surety shall pay any additional damages due. SC.08 BONDS The following bonds shall be required for this project, in amounts at least equal to the Contract Price, and shall conform to the requirements of paragraphs 14.3 of the General Conditions. 3.1 Performance Bond 3.2 Payment Bond 3.3 Maintenance Bond SC.09 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Prior to starting work, the Contractor shall submit a proposed schedule for the work included herein and shall submit any major revisions to this schedule as the project progresses. This schedule shall provide for completion of the project with the time provided in the specifications. SC.10 INTERPRETATIONS AND ADDENDA All questions about the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents are to be directed to Schrickel, Rollins and Associates, Inc. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by Architect/Engineer in response to such questions will be issued by Addenda mailed or delivered to all parties recorded by Architect/Engineer as having received the Bidding Documents. Questions received less than seven days prior to the date for opening of Bids may not be answered. Only questions answered by formal written Addenda will be binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal effect. SPECIAL CONDITIONS 4017 00810 -2 Addenda may also be issued to modify the Bidding Documents as deemed advisable by Owner or Architect/Engineer. SC.11 SUBSTITUTIONS Materials and equipment of other Suppliers may be accepted by the Architect/Engineer if sufficient information is submitted at the appropriate time as specified in the General Provisions and Instructions to Bidders by CONTRACTOR to allow the Architect/Engineer to determine that the material or equipment proposed is an acceptable substitute to that named. SC.12 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY During the performance of this contract, the Contractor agrees as follows: (a) The Contractor shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age or national origin. The Contractor shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are employed, that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, sex, religion, age or national origin. Such action shall include, but not limited to, the following: Employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The Contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees or applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. (b) The Contractor shall, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the Contractor, state that all qualified applicants shall receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin or age. (c) The Contractor shall send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided, advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the Contractor's commitments under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment. (d) The Contractor shall include the provisions of this section in all subcontracts pertaining to the work. SC.13 COPIES OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Five (5) sets of plans and specifications shall be furnished to the Contractor, at no charge, for construction purposes. Additional copies may be obtained at the cost of reproduction upon request. SC.14 STATE AND CITY SALES TAX The Contractor's attention is directed to Section 15.311 of the Tax Code of the State of Texas. Recent legislation has removed the sales tax exemption previously provided by Section 151.311 of the Tax Code covering tangible personal property purchased by a contractor for use in the performance of a contract for the improvement of City -owned realty. It is still possible, however, for a contractor to make tax -free purchases of tangible personal property which will be incorporated into and become part of a City construction project through the use of a "separated contract" with the City. A "separated contract" is one which separates charges for materials from charges for labor. Under such a contract, the contractor becomes a "seller" of those materials which are incorporated into the project, such as bricks, lumber, concrete, paint, etc. The contractor issues a resale certificate in lieu of paying the sales tax at the time such items are purchased. The contractor then receives an exemption certificate from the City for those materials. (This procedure may not be used, however, for materials which SPECIAL CONDITIONS 401 00810 - 3 do not become a part of the finished product. For example, equipment rentals, form materials, etc., are not considered as becoming "incorporated" into the project.) Utilization of this "separated contract" approach eliminates the need for bidders to figure sales tax for materials which are to be incorporated into the project. The bidder should therefore be certain, when completing the bid form, to separate the bid as provided on the bid form. The successful bidder's bid form will be used to develop the "separated contract" and will determine the extent of the tax exemption. SC.15 INSURANCE REQUIRED: The Contractor shall not commence Work under this Contract until he /she has obtained all insurance required under 13.2.1 of the City of Coppell's Standard Fixed Price Agreement. SC.16 CLEANUP Upon completion of the work, the Contractor shall remove from the site all materials, tools and equipment belonging to him and leave the site with an appearance acceptable to the Owner. SC.17 COORDINATION WITH OTHERS In the event other contractors are doing work in the same area simultaneously with this project, the Contractor shall coordinate his proposed construction with other contractors. SC.18 BARRICADES, SIGNS AND TRAFFIC HANDLING Barricades, signs, and traffic handling shall conform to 1994 - Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices except that no separate pay item is provided. This work shall be considered as subsidiary to the other work. SC.19 INSPECTION The word "Inspection," or other forms of the word as used in the Contract Documents for this project, shall be understood as meaning the Owner's Representative will observe the construction on behalf of the Owner. The Owner's Representative will observe and check the construction in sufficient detail to satisfy themselves that the work is proceeding in general accordance with the Contract Documents, but he will not be a guarantor of the Contractor's performance. SC.20 LIGHTS AND POWER The Contractor shall provide, at his own expense, temporary lighting and power facilities required for the proper prosecution of the work. SC.21 SMALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES OR INJURY Item 1.24.3 SMALL CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY is amended to read as follows: If any person files a claim against the OWNER or CONTRACTOR for personal injury or property damage resulting from, arising out of, or caused by the operations of the Contractor, or any work within the limits of the project, the Contractor must either submit to the Owner a duly executed full release within thirty (30) days from the date of written claim, or immediately report the claim to his liability insurance carrier for their action in adjusting the claim. If the Contractor fails to comply with these provisions within the stipulated time limit, it will be automatically deemed that the Contractor has appointed the Owner as its irrevocable Attorney -in -Fact authorizing the Owner to report the claim directly with the liability insurance carrier. This provision is in and of itself a Power of Attorney from the Contractor to the Owner which authorized the Owner to take said action on behalf of the Contractor without the necessity of the execution of any other document. If the Contractor fails to comply with the provisions of this item the Owner, at its own discretion, may terminate this contract or take any other actions it deems appropriate. Any payment or portion thereof due the Contractor, whether it is a final SPECIAL CONDITIONS 4017 00810 -4 payment, progress payment, payment out of retainage or refund payment may be withheld by the Owner as is authorized by Item 1.52. Bankruptcy, insolvency or denial of liability by the insurance carrier shall not exonerate the Contractor from liability. SC.22 PROJECT COORDINATION The Contractor shall have on the project at all times, as his agent, a competent Superintendent capable of reading and thoroughly understanding the plans and specifications and thoroughly experienced in the type of work being performed. The Superintendent shall have full authority to execute orders or directions and to promptly supply such materials, equipment, tools, labor and incidentals as may be required. Such Superintendent shall be furnished irrespective of the amount of work subcontracted. The Superintendent and the Contractor shall be responsible for all work performed by the subcontractor(s) at all times during construction. SC.23 EXTENT OF WORK AND THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS All work that may be called for in the Specifications but not shown on the Drawings, or, all work that may be shown on the Drawing but not called for in the Specifications, shall be performed by the Contractor as if described in both. Should work be required which is not set forth in either document, but which work is nevertheless required for fulfilling of the intent thereof, then the Contractor shall perform all work as fully as if it were specifically set forth in the Contract Documents. SC.24 MATERIAL ON -SITE BURIAL No concrete or other construction debris can be buried on the site unless specific permission is granted by the Owner.

Topsoil shall not be stripped, collected, or deposited while wet. The Contractor shall furnish to the Architect/Engineer, in writing, the location where topsoil is to be obtained, as well as a one (1) gallon sample of such soil. 2.04 IMPORTED FILL: A. Imported fill materials shall be used for the construction of earth embankment in the event that (1) the volume of unclassified excavation is less than the volume of fill required for earth embankment and /or (2) the condition of materials removed in unclassified excavation makes them unsuitable for use in the construction of earth embankment. B. The Contractor shall haul and place imported fill obtained from off -site sources as necessary to construct the embankment and various other details of the construction plans. All costs related to such imported fill will be included in the contract price, and no additional or separate payment for imported fill will be due the Contractor. C. A sample of the proposed imported fill must be provided by the Contractor and be approved by the Architect/Engineer. I n general, imported material must be equal to or better than native material in quality and engineering characteristics. The Architect/ Engineer may also require the Contractor to provided a material analysis test of the proposed fill. 2.05 SELECT MATERIALS: A. Select materials shall be imported from off-site sources, unless they are available from specifically designated areas on the site as marked on the plans. B. Select Fill: Select fill shall be used for the construction of subgrades under building foundations, slabs on grade, and other concrete construction as shown and detailed on the plans. All select fill shall be sandy material or other suitable granular material (more than fifty (50 %) percent by weight retained on a No. 200 sieve) and shall have a plasticity index not less than four (4) nor more than fifteen (15). Properly deposited, conditioned, and compacted select fill is hereinafter referred to as "select embankment." C. Testing Requirements: 1.

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, site preparation," as specified in Section 02100, shall be performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the entire area of earthwork operations. 3.02 TOPSOIL: A. The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and before excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise, topsoil will be replaced after excavation and embankment construction are complete. B. Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six (6 ") inches from areas where excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained from greater depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer. C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in locations EARTHWORK 4017 02200 - 3 approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept separate from other excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by objectionable materials that would render it unsuitable. D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited) until construction activities are complete that would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as overcompaction or contamination. Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and irrigation pressure lines must be complete before topsoil replacement may begin. E. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed, processed, compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five (5 ") inches in depth. Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of earthwork (including slopes), except where pavement is planned. F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Unless otherwise indicated, the final plane of compacted topsoil will be between 0.10 foot and one (1 ") inch below adjacent paved surfaces. Fine grading will be accomplished with a weighted spike harrow, weighted drag, tractor box blade, light maintainer, or other acceptable machinery. Grading operations and equipment will be such that topsoil does not become overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front -end loader buckets are not acceptable devices for topsoil grading operations. G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade, true in plane, even in gradient (slope), uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction. Areas of loose granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not acceptable and will be reworked. Finished areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for turfgrass planting. 3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION: A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all times, and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to the areas under construction. B. Surplus Material: 1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the grading plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation, embankment construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are completed. Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor shall dispose of surplus material as "waste" as specified in Section 02100. 2. In certain cases, if the on -site excavation and embankment quantities are not balanced and there is a surplus of excavated material, the Architect/Engineer may permit the Contractor to "waste" the surplus by constructing additional embankment in an approved location. No additional payment for such work would be due that Contractor. C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted unless specifically permitted in writing by the Owner. Unless otherwise indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six (6 ") inches below required subgrade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans. EARTHWORK 4017 02200 - 4 3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT: A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed in unclassified excavation and /or imported fill. The construction of embankment includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing, conditioning, and compaction of fill material. B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading plan. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its finished section and grade until the project is accepted. C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to be placed. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other methods, and, where indicated on the plans or required by the Architect/Engineer, the ground surface, thus prepared, shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling. D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of four (4 ") to six (6 ") inches to provide a bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. The material that has been loosened shall be recompacted with the new embankment. E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes greater than four to one (4:1), the Architect/Engineer may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two (2') feet normal to the slope shall be removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm foundation free of loose or disturbed material. F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread, not to exceed eight (8 ") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless otherwise permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times. G. Watering: At the time of compaction, the moisture content of fill material shall be such that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction. H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the Architect/Engineer. Hand - directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to vehicular compactors. EARTHWORK 4017 02200 - 5 Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity or another as subgrade (e.g., under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement, under structures, etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embankment shall be graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to depositing topsoil, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc. 3.05 SELECT EMBANKMENT: Select embankment is defined as embankment constructed of select fill material. In general, it is constructed the same as earth embankment, except as described below. A. Subgrade: In cases where select fill is to be placed on a subgrade surface that is proposed to be within 0.50 foot in elevation of the existing surface grade, the top six (6 ") inches of soil shall be stripped and removed as unsuitable waste. A minimum of six (6 ") inches of fill comprising the subgrade for the select embankment shall be prepared and compacted as "earth embankment under select embankment" (see Density Control paragraph). B. Mixing: If the select fill is non - uniform in material composition, the Contractor may elect to mix with discing or pulverizing machinery to ensure that it meets the specified density and material analysis testing requirements. During mixing, care shall be taken not to disturb the subgrade nor to incorporate the subgrade material into the select material. Mixing would occur between the depositing and watering steps described in the embankment construction process. Also, see "Testing Requirements" under "SELECT MATERIALS" of the PRODUCTS section of this specification. 3.06 DENSITY CONTROL: A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at eighty -eight (88 %) to ninety -two (92 %) percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus or minus two (2) percentage points of optimum moisture content. B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6 ") inches of natural earth comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be ninety -two (92 %) to ninety -eight (98 %) percent of Standard AASHTO Density with the moisture content at two (2 %) to four (4 %) percent above optimum. Sidewalks six (6') feet and less in width and individual paved areas less than one hundred fifty (150) square feet in surface area are excluded from this requirement. C. Earth Embankment Under Select Embankment: The top six (6 ") inches of earth embankment under select embankment shall be ninety -two (92 %) to ninety -eight (98 %) percent of Standard AASHTO Density with the moisture content at two (2 %) to four (4 %) percent above optimum. D. Select Embankment: The entire depth of select embankment shall be compacted in lifts to a minimum ninety -five (95 %) percent of Standard AASHTO Density with the moisture content plus or minus two (2 %) percent of optimum. See "Testing Requirements" under "SELECT MATERIALS" of the PRODUCTS section of this specification. 3.07 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of two (2 %) percent below optimum in the top twelve (12 ") inches of the fill will require that the top twelve (12 ") inches of the embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to placement of the structure, select fill or pavement. If desired, the Contractor may place an asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus eliminate the sprinkling requirement. EARTHWORK 4017 02200 - 6 3.08 TESTING: Spot field tests of embankment densities shall be required of the Contractor by the Owner at the Contractor's expense at the place and time of their choosing. Any area not meeting density control requirements shall be immediately excavated, reconstructed, and retested, at the expense of the Contractor, until satisfactory results are obtained. Up to a total of thirty (30) tests may be required. 3.09 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT: The Contractor shall perform his construction operations in accordance with best management practices to control pollutants in storm water discharges during construction. The Contractor shall conform to local, state and federal regulations regarding control of storm water pollutants, silt and sediments leaving the site. 3.10 RECORD DRAWINGS: Upon completion of the grading operations the Contractor must verify the site grading by having a registered public surveyor shoot grades on a 25' grid overlaid over the baseball and soccer playing field areas. The grades must be transferred to a reproducible drawing of the grading plan for approval by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. No construction can proceed until this "Record Drawing" has been approved by the Owner. All cost for surveying must be borne by the Contractor.

Hydrated lime for stabilization purposes shall be applied, as provided in the governing specifications, mixed with water to form a slurry. D. Sampling and Testing: The sampling and testing of lime slurry shall be as determined by Test Method Tex - 600 -J, "Lime Testing Procedure." PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 GENERAL: A. It is the primary requirement of this specification to secure a completed course of treated subgrade containing a uniform lime mixture, free from loose or segregated areas, of uniform density and moisture, well bound for its full depth and with a smooth surface suitable for placing the hot mix asphaltic concrete surface or concrete surface course. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of his work, to use the proper amount of lime specified, maintain the work, and re -work the material as necessary to meet the above requirements. B. Prior to beginning any lime treatment, all subgrade surfaces shall be constructed and shaped to conform to the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on the plans. After the subgrade has been shaped and prepared, it shall be scarified to full width and depth of stabilization. Full depth will be six (6 ") inches, and full width shall be one (I') foot outside all new curbs or pavement surfaces, or full width from edge to edge of existing curbs or pavement surfaces. 3.02 APPLICATION: A. The lime is to be applied to such an area so that the mixing operation can be completed during the same working day as the application of hydrated lime is made. The application will be accomplished by the "slurry" method at the rate of 27 pounds of lime per square yard for subgrade in accordance with THD Item 260. B. Hydrated lime and water are to be combined to form a mixture for the lime application. Approximately 3,200 pounds of lime to 500 -600 gallons of water will produce a satisfactory mixture. C. The slurry is to be applied with an approved distributor or water truck by making successive passes, if necessary, to apply the correct amount of lime. The distributor or water truck is to be equipped with an agitator to keep the slurry in a uniform and consistent mixture. D. Mixing with a pulvimixer must immediately follow the application of lime slurry. 3.03 MIXING: A. First Mixing: The material and lime shall be thoroughly mixed by approved road mixers or other approved equipment, and mixing continued until, in the opinion of the Engineer, a homogenous, friable mixture of material and lime is obtained, free from all clods and lumps. Materials containing plastic clays or other material which will not readily mix with lime shall be mixed as thoroughly as possible at the time of lime application, brought to proper moisture content, and left to cure from one (1) to four (4) days, as directed by the Architect/Engineer. During the curing period, the material shah be kept moist, as directed. B. Final Mixing: After the required curing time, material shall be uniformly mixed by approved methods. If the soil binder -lime mixture contains clods, they shall be reduced in size by LIME TREATED SUBGRADE 4017 02240 - 2 raking, blading, discing, harrowing, scarifying, or the use of other approved pulverization methods so that when all non - slaking aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder of material shall meet the following requirements when tested dry by laboratory sieves. 1. Minimum passing 1 -3/4" sieve 100% 2. Minimum passing No. 4 sieve 60% C. During the interval of time between application and mixing, hydrated lime that has been exposed to the open air for a period of six (6) hours or more to excessive loss due to washing or blowing will not be accepted for payment. 3.04 COMPACTION: A. Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after final mixing and, in no case, later than three (3) calendar days after final mixing, unless approval is obtained from the Architect/Engineer. The material shall be aerated or sprinkled as necessary to provide the optimum moisture. B. Final compaction shall be to a minimum of ninety -five (95 %) percent of Standard AASHTO Density as defined by AASHTO Test T -99. 3.05 FINISHING, CURING, AND PREPARATION OF SURFACING: After the lime treated subgrade has been compacted, it shall be brought to the required lines and grades, in accordance with the typical sections. The completed sections shall then be finished by rolling as directed with a pneumatic or other suitable roller sufficiently light to prevent hair cracking. The completed section shall be moist -cured for a minimum of seven (7) days before the pavement is placed or traffic is permitted, unless otherwise directed by the Architect/ Engineer. In any case, the compacted lime treated subgrade shall be maintained by sprinkling until such time as the paved surface is placed. The paved surface shall be applied within fourteen (14) days, unless otherwise directed by the Architect/Engineer. The moist curing requirement will be rigidly enforced. 3.06 TESTING: The laboratory shall furnish to the Architect/Engineer test results of field density tests performed at up to twenty (20) locations (one test per location) selected by the Architect/Engineer. All tests will be performed by an approved laboratory at the expense of the Owner.
