SCOPE OF WORK The scope of this project is to demolish, re-asphalt, and restripe the West and East parking lots at the Montgomery VARO as follows: Provide one staging location for the duration of construction. Coordinate limits with COR at the parking bend adjacent to the warehouse on the far side of the employee parking lot. Remove and replace all asphalt in the visitor lot. This lot consists of 39 parking spaces, including 4 handicapped spaces. Remove and replace or clean concrete curb and gutter in this lot. Remove and replace all asphalt in the employee parking lot. This lot consists of 214 parking space; 15 of these are handicapped spaces. Remove and replace or clean concrete curb and gutter in this lot. Perry Hill-Samuel J Intersection. Remove and replace all asphalt drive and remove and replace or clean concrete curb and gutter. Provide proper signage and traffic control to allow visitors and employee access with minimal confusion. Discuss the potential for weekend work in this location with the COR. Samuel J Remove and replace all asphalt drive and remove and replace or clean concrete curb and gutter. Employees will be need to be routed through the main VA campus while this work is complete. Medal of Honor Memorial Dr Samuel J Intersection. Discuss the potential for weekend work in this location with the COR, as this will cut off access to the entire employee parking lot. Once each area is complete, the contractor is to restripe all affected areas. This includes but is not limited to: parking lines, handicapped parking spaces, crosswalks, lane lines, turn arrows, etc. Curb and gutter is to be replaced in all locations where damaged or at the direction of the COR. Clean all curb and gutter existing to remain. Approximate quantities of work are: Remove and replace 99,600 SF of asphalt Remove and Replace 1000 LF of curb and gutter Clean 3750 LF of curb and gutter Restripe to match existing (see attached documentation for more detail) See attached documentation for additional information.

Immediately before applying the prime coat, the full width of the surface shall be cleaned with compressed air. The bituminous material for the prime coat shall be applied by means of bitumen spray tankers. This shall be applied in a single layer at the rate of 0.7 1.5 liters /sq.m and at a temperature not exceeding 70 deg C. This surface shall be cured for 24 hours. The over spread area shall be cured more than 24 hours/ until excess prime coat is evaporated. Binder Course Quality of Binder should be Bituminous Concrete as per ASTM D6373 and AASHTO M-320 Standard Specifications for Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder. Immediately before paving the binder course material, the surface of the prime coat shall be cleaned with compressed air and shall be ensured that the surface is dry. The hot asphalt mix shall be brought from the mixing plant by 6 wheel trucks or trailers. Upon arrival at site, the asphalt mix shall be dumped into the asphalt paver. The asphalt paver shall lay the material to the required thickness and level. The mix shall be compacted as soon as possible after spreading the material. Tandem rollers shall follow the laying operation to carry out breakdown rolling up to temperature of 110-120°C. Pneumatic tired rollers and tandem rollers shall follow the breakdown rolling and sufficient passes shall be made to achieve the required compaction. Rolling shall start from the sides and proceed toward the center. Each trip of the roller shall overlap the pervious trip by at least 30 cm. Roller wheel shall be kept moistened. The roller shall be capable of reversing without backlash and shall be free from worn parts. Heavy rollers shall be used to complete all rolling including elimination of waves caused by the lighter rollers. Full compaction shall be obtained before the asphalt temperature reaches 100°C. Compaction shall be in accordance with specification of relevant standard. Construction joints shall be prepared by cutting the layer vertically down by means of asphalt saw cutting machine or with jack hammer. The joint shall be cleaned well by compressed air and tack coat material shall be applied on the vertical and horizontal surface for better bonding. Extremely good care shall be taken when asphalt is laid at construction joints. Areas inaccessible for heavy rollers shall be compacted with plate compactors or hand tampers. After reaching the base course top level, suitable fill material (dune sand) shall be dumped to the top level of base course on the sides of road shoulders. It shall be leveled, shaped (1:6 ratios) and compacted to 90% maximum dry density. Tack Coat Provide emulsified asphalt conforming to ASTM D 2397 and AASHTO M-208 Standard Specification for Cationic Emulsified Asphalt. Dilute the emulsified asphalt with equal parts water. The base asphalt used to manufacture the emulsion shall show a negative spot when tested in accordance with AASHTO T 102. The material shall be applied at the rate of 0.3 to 0.6 lit/ sq.m at the temperature not exceeding 54 °C above the binder and at where there is a joint with existing asphalt surface. The surface shall be cured for the period as per manufacturer s recommendations until a tacky surface is visible. Surface Course Surface Course Bituminous Concrete design mixtures shall adhere to all ASTM and AASHTO standard specifications for Hot Mix Asphalt stipulated above. The Contractor shall submit, with the design mixtures, the sufficient passes to reach the optimum compaction of the asphalt. The hot asphalt mix shall be spread over the cured surface of tack coat by automatic asphalt paver to the required profile and thickness. The mix shall be compacted as soon as possible after spreading the material. Tandem roller shall follow the laying operation to carry out breakdown rolling up to a temperature of 110- 120°C. Self-propelled rollers and Tandem rollers shall follow the breakdown rolling and sufficient passes shall be made to achieve the required compaction. Rolling shall start from the sides and proceed toward the center. Each trip of the roller shall overlap the previous trip by at least 30 cm. Roller wheels shall be kept moistened. The roller shall be capable of reversing without backlash and shall be free from worn parts. Heavy tandem roller shall be used to complete all rolling including elimination of waves caused by the lighter rollers. Full compaction shall be obtained before the asphalt temperature reaches 80°C. Compaction shall be in accordance with specification of relevant standard. Along curbing, structures, and all places not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted by tampers. Such tampers shall not weigh less than twenty-five (25) pounds and shall have a tamping face of not more than fifty (50) square inches. Immediately before paving the binder course material, the surface of the prime coat shall be cleaned with compressed air and shall be ensured that the surface is dry. No vehicular traffic loads shall be permitted on the newly paved area until adequate stability has been attained and the material has cooled sufficiently to prevent distortion or loss of fines. A minimum period of 12 hours shall be considered after the completion of the rolling. Concrete Curb and Gutter Removal and Replacement of onsite curb and gutter shall be performed to the applicable provisions of the Alabama DOT standard specifications to including, but not limited to: Section 501 Structural Portland Cement Concrete Section 623 Curb, Gutter, and Combination Curb and Gutter Section 800 Materials Section 832 Concrete Joint Fillers, Joint and Crack Sealants, and Waterstop Materials Concrete curb and gutter that will not be removed and replaced will be cleaned with appropriate materials and methods to the approval of the Contracting Officer.
