- Description
- Contractor to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies and materials to pave the driveway approach to Cowboy Camp Trail Head. The project is located at milepost 1.0 on Highway 16, one mile south of Highway 20 in Colusa County. The job includes placing 4 inches of asphalt concrete over base rock placed by the Bureau of Land Management on an approach to conform to a commercial driveway approach as seen on Exhibit "A". The job will be bid in two parts. Part "A" is approximately 2375 square feet and the depth is 4 inches. Part "B" is approximately 2000 square feet is 4 inches. Weather Limitations: Place bituminous mixture only during dry weather and on dry surfaces. Place courses only when the surface temperature of the underlying course is greater than 45 degrees F. Tack Coat: Shall be used prior to placing 2 inch overlay over existing asphalt. The paint binder (Tack Coat) shall meet Caltrans specifications SS-1. Asphalt: Shall be acquired from a commercial source and shall meet the requirements of ? inch minus, type B from the State of California Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, Section 39 dated July 1999. General: Construction equipment used shall be dependable and adequate for the purpose intended, properly maintained in satisfactory and safe operating condition at all times. Rolling Equipment: Self propelled steel wheeled rollers. The number, type and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the mixture to the required density without detrimentally affecting the compacted material. All rollers shall be suitable for rolling hot mix bituminous pavements and capable of being operated both forward and backward without turning on the mat, and without loosening the surface being rolled. Equip rollers with suitable devices and apparatus to keep the rolling surfaces wet and prevent adherence of bituminous mixture. Hand Tampers: Shall have a minimum weight of 25 pounds with a tamping face of not more than 200 square inches. Asphalt concrete shall meet the requirements of Caltrans ? inch minus, type B. Shall provide all flagging, cones and flagmen as required by Caltrans to close the south bound lane of traffic on Highway 16 during paving operation. Surface Preparation of Underlying Course: Prior to the laying of the asphalt, clean underlying course of all foreign or objectionable matter with power blowers or power brooms, supplemented by hand brooms and other cleaning methods where necessary. Preparation of Bituminized or Concreted Surfaces: The surface shall be cleaned to remove deleterious matter. The edges of existing pavement, which are to be adjacent to new pavement, shall be cleaned of loose material to permit adhesion of the bitumen. Tack Coat: Furnish and apply a tack coat over existing asphalt surface. Placing of Bituminous Material: The pavement shall consist of hot mineral aggregate uniformly mixed with hot bituminous material. Transportation of Bituminous Mixtures: Transport bituminous material from the mixing plant to the paving site in trucks having tight, clean, smooth beds that have been coated with a minimum amount of concentrated solution of hydrated lime and water or other approved coating to prevent adhesion of the mixture to the truck bodies. Petroleum products will not be permitted for coating truck bodies. If air temperature is less than 60?F or if haul time is greater than 30 minutes, cover each load with canvas or other approved material of ample size to protect the mixture from the loss of heat. Make deliveries so that the spreading and rolling of all the mixture prepared for one day's run can be completed during daylight, unless adequate approved artificial lighting is provided. Deliver mixture to the area to be paved in such a manner that the temperature at the time of dumping into the spreader will be higher than that specified herein. Reject any loads that are below minimum temperature, that have crusts of cold unworkable material, or that have been wet excessively by rain. Hauling over freshly laid material is not permitted. General Requirements for Use of Bituminous Spreaders: The range of temperatures of the mixtures at the time of spreading shall be in accordance with Caltrans section 39. Adjust spreader and regulate speed so that the surface of the course is smooth and continuous without tears and pulling, and of such depth that, when compacted, the surface conforms with the cross section, grade, and contour indicated. Placing of Bituminous Material: The pavement shall consist of hot mineral aggregate uniformly mixed with hot bituminous material. Place the pavement in one or more layers, as indicated. Shoveling, Raking, and Tamping After Machine spreading: A sufficient number of shovelers and rakers shall follow the spreading machine adding or removing hot mixture and raking the mixture as required to obtain a course that when completed will conform to all requirements specified herein. Broadcasting or fanning of mixture over areas being compacted is not permitted. When segregation occurs in the mixture during placing, suspend spreading operation until the cause is determined and corrected. Correct any irregularities in alignment left by the spreader by trimming directly behind the machine. Immediately after trimming, compact edges of the course by tamping laterally with a metal lute or by other approved methods. Distortion of the course during tamping is not permitted. Hand spreading in Lieu of Machine spreading: In areas where the use of machine spreading is impractical, spread mixture by hand. The range of temperatures of the mixtures when dumped onto the area to be paved shall be in accordance with Caltrans section 39. Bituminous concrete having temperatures less than minimum spreading temperature when dumped onto the area to be paved will be rejected. Spread mixture with hot rakes in a uniformly loose layer of a thickness that, when compacted, will conform to the required grade, thickness, and smoothness. During hand spreading, place each shovelfull of mixture by turning the shovel over in a manner that will prevent segregation. In no case shall the mixture be placed by throwing or broadcasting from a shovel. Do not dump loads any faster than can be properly handled by the shovelers and rakers. Compaction of Mixture: Affect compaction by rolling. Begin rolling as soon as placement of the mixture will bear the rollers without undue displacement. Joints: All joints shall present the same texture, density, and smoothness as other portions of the course. Carefully make joints between old and new pavement or within new pavements in a manner as to ensure a thorough and continuous bond between old and new sections of the course. Paint all vertical contact surfaces of previously constructed sections with a thin uniform coat of emulsion or other approved bituminous material just before the fresh mixture is placed. Transverse Joints: The roller shall pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture only when the laying of the course is to be discontinued. Except when an approved bulkhead is used, cut back the edge of the previously laid course to expose an even, vertical surface for the full thickness of the course. When exposed, rake fresh mixture against joints, thoroughly tamp with hot tampers, smooth with hot smoothers, and roll. Smoothness: Straightedge test the compacted surface of the leveling, binder and wearing course as the work progresses. Apply straightedge parallel with and at right angles to the centerline after final rolling. Unevenness of the leveling and binder course shall not vary more than plus or minus 1/4 inch in 10 feet; variations in the wearing course shall not vary more than plus or minus 1/8 inch in 10 feet. Correct any portion of the pavement showing irregularities greater than that specified. Requirements: The Contractor shall be responsible for cleanup of all waste, spilled, and excess material as a result of his work. No site tour will be held. This solicitation is 100 percent set aside for small business concerns. SOLICITATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON OR AROUND August 13, 2004, and will close September 13, 2004, 12 a.m. EST.
