CLIN 0001 (Base): Retaining Wall Block (Section 1), Steps above Sidewalk, and Rip Rap Overlay (Area 1) The work will consist of the following methods as specified herein for CLIN 0001 (Base): 1. Retaining Wall Block - Section 1: Remove approximately 240 linear feet (LF) of existing railroad ties above the existing sidewalk and above the asphalt access road as depicted on Exhibit 1. All ties will be disposed of per federal/state regulations for creosote-containing ties. Remove existing abandoned concrete drainage grate next to sidewalk (approximately 4' x 4'). Once ties have been removed, excavate and prepare a base per manufacturer's specifications for a pre-cast retaining wall block with textured face. Block will be set flush with existing sidewalk and constructed to a height so to secure 14" minimum of KY Class II channel liner that will be overlaid behind the block. Minimum weight of the block will be no less than 500 pound per block. Once block is set, an expansion joint compound will be applied along the wall where the seam meets the existing sidewalk. All site preparation and matching to existing grade will be the responsibility of the contractor. Digital contour data can be supplied to contractor after award to assist with the site development plan and associated site prep. 2. Steps above Sidewalk: Remove existing railroad tie steps above the existing sidewalk and replace with 4' wide concrete steps (approximate length of new steps is 10'). Steps should be poured to match run and rise of existing steps from parking lot. The new steps should terminate at the existing sidewalk at grade. An expansion joint compound will be applied along the steps where the seam meets the existing sidewalk and new retaining wall block. Once steps have cured, install 1.25" T6 Aluminum handrail with matching Aluminum Alloy 535 set-screw connections and matching bolt-down base. All new T6 aluminum handrail should match the height of the existing handrail. 3. RipRap Overlay (Area 1): Remove approximately 75 linear feet of railroad ties holding back existing riprap overlay and dispose of per federal/state regulations for creosote-containing ties. Once ties have been removed, place 14" minimum of KY Class II channel liner over the area depicted as "RipRap Overlay - Area 1" on Exhibit 1 (Area to be covered is approximately 4,640 square feet). b. CLIN 0002 (Option 1): Widen Existing Asphalt Road Note: Options may be exercised within 30 days from Notice to Proceed. Options will not extend the Period of Performance. 1. Widen Existing Asphalt Road: Remove approximately 85 linear feet of railroad ties holding back existing riprap overlay and dispose of per federal/state regulations for creosote-containing ties. Once ties have been removed, prepare base (specifications below) for the approximately 443 square feet of asphalt road. a. Cut as needed for preparation of the subgrade. Subgrade will be 6" of compacted DGA (dense grade aggregate) stone. Two (2) inches of compacted base asphalt and 1-1/2" of surface asphalt will be constructed on prepared subgrade. The new asphalt must match the grade and finished surface of the existing access road. b. Paved areas shall be so constructed that water will quickly drain from the surface and be conducted away from the area through approved systems. Transverse and/or longitudinal slopes of not less than 5/8 inch in 10 feet shall be provided. c. Successive layers of the pavement shall be offset from the edge of the underlying layer a distance equal to the course thickness of the lower layer. New Asphalt Construction Procedures 1. Grades shall be established by the contractor and the grade stakes shall be set to the desired section by the contractor. In establishing the grades, due allowances shall be made for existing improvements, proper drainage, and good appearance. Corps project personnel shall approve grades established. 2. Pay careful consideration to seasonal and weather limitations per industry standards. All debris, vegetation, or other perishable materials shall be removed from the job site. The site to be paved shall be graded to the required section and all excess material will be disposed of by the Contractor. All soft and yielding material and other portions of sub-grade which will not compact readily when rolled or tamped shall be removed and replaced with suitable material, placed and compacted. The sub-grade shall be thoroughly compacted with suitable equipment so as to have uniform density at moisture contents of not less than standard optimum (AASHTO-T98M/T98) The entire surface of the sub-grade after compaction shall be hard, uniform, smooth, and true to grade and cross section. 3. On the prepared sub-grade, the asphalt base shall be laid in a single course to a compacted thickness of 3 inches. Placing of the asphalt surface course shall follow and be laid in a single course to a compacted thickness of 1.5 inches. The asphalt shall be spread and struck off with a paver. Any irregularities in the surface of the pavement course shall be corrected directly behind the paver. Excess material forming high spots shall be removed with a shovel or a lute. Indented areas shall be filled with hot mix and smoothed with a lute or the edge of a shovel being pulled over the surface. Casting of mix over such areas shall not be permitted. If it is impractical to use a paver or spread box in areas of 1000 square yard or less asphalt base and surface courses may be spread and finished by hand. Wood or steel forms, rigidly supported to assure correct grade and cross section, may be used. Placing by hand shall be performed carefully to avoid segregation of the mix. Broadcasting of the material shall not be permitted. Any lumps that do not break down readily shall be removed. Rolling shall start as soon as the hot mix material can be compacted without displacement. Rolling shall continue until thoroughly compacted and all roller marks have disappeared. In areas too small for the roller, a vibrating plate compacter or hand tamper shall be used to achieve thorough compaction. The surface of the completed work, when tested with a ten foot straightedge, shall not contain irregularities in excess of ¼ inch. 4. A tack coat shall be applied on each layer. 5. Priming material for the sub-grade shall be of good quality according to industry standards. 6. Longitudinal joint spacing shall not exceed 12.5 feet. 7. Transverse joint spacing shall be at regular intervals of 20 feet. 8. All transverse construction joints shall have a depth equal to ¼ of the pavement thickness c. CLIN 0003 (Option 2): Retaining Wall Block - Section 2 Note: Options may be exercised within 30 days from Notice to Proceed. Options will not extend the Period of Performance. 1. Excavate and prepare a base per manufacturer's specifications for a pre-cast retaining wall block with textured face. Block will be set flush with new asphalt access road widening and constructed to a height so to secure existing KY Class II channel liner already in place. Minimum weight of the block will be no less than 500 pound per block. All site preparation and matching to existing grade will be the responsibility of the contractor. Digital contour data can be supplied to contractor after award to assist with the site development plan and associated site prep. d. CLIN 0004 (Option 3): Rip-Rap Overlay (Area 2) Note: Options may be exercised within 30 days from Notice to Proceed. Options will not extend the Period of Performance. 1. Rip-Rap Overlay (Area 2): Place 6" minimum of KY Class II channel liner over the area depicted as "Rip-Rap Overlay - Area 2" on Exhibit 1 (Area to be covered is approximately 4,714 square feet).
