B. Placing of Surface Course
1. Lay mixture upon a base which is dry and when weather conditions are suitable. Prior to
delivery of the mixture on the work, clean the prepared base of all loose or foreign matter.
2. Do not start the binder course unless the air temperature at the surface is 45 degrees F, and
rising and not until any frost or moisture from previous inclement weather has evaporated and
left a dry surface.
3. During both binder and surface course construction when the air temperature drops below the
minimum specified above, suspend the paving operations.
4. Deliver the mixtures to the job site at a minimum workable temperature and in no case shall it
be less that 235 degrees F, immediately after spreading and prior to initial rolling of roads or
parking lots.
5. Adjust the width of individual courses so that the center joint of successive courses do not
coincide.
6. Eliminate surface irregularities exceeding 1/4" under a 10 ft. straight edge and to prevent
puddling. Roll asphalt with a 10 ton steel tandem roller to produce a smooth, dense, uniform
surface. Tamp areas around manholes, curbs, or other inaccessible areas manually to
produce a surface to match rolled areas. A 5 ton roller may be used for walks and confined
areas of light duty paving.
7. Cross roll asphalt to direction in which it is spread.
8. Trim all exposed edges of pavement to a neat straight edge.
9. Correct irregularities in alignment and grade along the outside edges by the addition or
removal of mixture before the edge is rolled.
10. Make longitudinal and transverse joints in a careful manner. Well bonded keyed joints are
required.
11. Carefully make joints between old and new pavements or between successive days work
in such a manner to ensure a thorough and continuous bond between the old and new
surfaces. Cut back the edge of the previously laid course to its full depth to expose a
fresh vertical surface, clean up any broken or loose material, and paint with an approved
bituminous emulsion; after which, place the hot mixture in contact with it and rake to a
proper depth and grade.
12. On surface courses, the method of making joints shall be such that the excess material is
not scattered on the surface of the freshly laid mat. Remove such excess material
carefully and discard it.
13. Finish pavement surfaces to finish elevations indicated on drawings. Finished elevations
shall be the elevations of finished grade and paved surface shall be accurate within
tolerances to prevent puddles forming.
14. Bituminous formed curbing to be laid within Contract limits as per site plan.

SECTION 02500 - BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVING
1.1 GENERAL
A. Weather Limitations: Do not apply prime and tack coats when temperature is below 50 degrees F
(10 degrees C) or when base is wet. Apply hot-mixed asphalt paving only when temperature is
above 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and when base is dry.
B. Special Protection: Barricade area to prevent traffic from vehicles and people for at least 24
hours after completion.
1.2 PRODUCTS
A. Materials and methods of construction shall comply with the following standard:
1. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
2. American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
3. Asphalt Institute (AI).
4. National Crushed Stone Association (NCSA).
5. Intemational Slurry Seal Association (ISSA).
B. Binder Course:
1. 2 1/2"after rolling, hot laid plant mix

C. Surface Course:
1. 1 1/2" after rolling, hot laid plant mix
1.3 EXECUTION
A. Placing of Binder Course
1. Before work commences ensure that subgrading and filling, as specified, has been correctly
completed and that the subgrade is satisfactory in all aspects for placing of pavements.
Personnel from Smith College Physical Plant shall inspect subgrade before contractor
commences laying binder course. Report to Smith College Physical Plant any deficiencies
before proceeding with work.
2. Shape the base course materials accurately and finish by blading and rolling to the specified
cross-section and profile. Roll with a 5 ton "vibra-roller" or 10 ton steel-wheeled roller.
Sprinkle water on the material during tamping, grading and rolling and immediately ahead of
the compacting unit to aid compaction or reduce nuisance or both.
3. Eliminate surface irregularities exceeding 1/2" under a 10 foot straight edge.
4. Extend the binder course 4" beyond the edge of road and parking lot paving, to form a
shoulder.
