Portland Cement Concrete Shoulders Art. 483.05 On pavement and shoulder resurfacing projects, the shoulder resurfacing will be paid for at the contract unit price per ton (metric ton) for HOT-MIX ASPHALT SHOULDERS. When the work is performed under QCP criteria, the pay adjustments in

Article 406 — 14(a) shall apply.

The construction of shoulder strips for resurfacing pavements will be paid for as hot-mix asphalt binder or surface course, according to Section 406. SECTION 483. PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE SHOULDERS

483.01 Description. This work shall consist of constructing portland cement

concrete shoulders on a prepared subgrade or subbase.

483.02 Materials. Materials shall be according to the following.

Item Article/Section

a.Portland Cement Concrete ..................................................................... 1020
b.Tie Bars ............................................................................................. 1006.10
c.Poured Joint Sealers .............................................................................. 1050
d.Protective Coat .................................................................................. 1023.01

483.03 Equipment. Equipment shall be according to the following.

Item Article/Section

a.Forms ................................................................................................ 1103.05
b.Formless Paver .................................................................................. 1103.16
c.Miscellaneous Equipment .................................................................. 1103.17 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

483.04 General. Except for Articles 420.10 and 420.15, portland cement

concrete shoulders shall be constructed according to Articles 420.04 through 420.18, except as modified in Articles 483.05 and 483.06. Whenever concrete shoulders are constructed adjacent to a pavement constructed on an improved subgrade and additional material is needed to extend the improved subgrade to the bottom of the concrete shoulder, the additional material shall be subbase granular material, Type C, according to Section 311.

483.05 Placing and Finishing. The pavement edge at all transverse joints

shall be sealed or caulked to prevent the intrusion of mortar from the shoulder placing operation into the joint. When the slip form method is used, the slip form paving equipment may operate from the adjacent lane or on tracks spanning the shoulder area. Art. 483.06 Portland Cement Concrete Shoulders Edging shall be per Article 420.09(e) and shall include the outer edge. The final finish shall be according to Article 420.09(e)(1).

483.06 Joints. Joints shall be constructed as shown on the plans and as

follows.

a.Longitudinal Construction Joint. Tie bars shall be placed and the sealant reservoir shall be constructed according to Article 420.05(b). The joint shall be sealed according to Article 420.12.
b.Transverse Contraction and Transverse Expansion Joints. Contraction and expansion joints shall be constructed in line with the contraction and expansion joints in the adjacent pavement.
c.Transverse Construction Joints. When the shoulder contraction joints are spaced at 20 ft (6.1 m) or less, the transverse construction joints shall be located at a contraction or expansion joint. When the shoulder contraction joints are spaced greater than 20 ft (6.1 m), transverse construction joints shall be located either midway between shoulder contraction joints or at shoulder contraction joints.

483.07 Tolerance in Thickness. The shoulder shall be constructed to the

thickness shown on the plans. Thickness determinations shall be made according to

Article 482 — 06, except the option of correcting deficient pavement with additional lift(s)

shall not apply.

483.08 Opening to Traffic. The shoulders shall be open to traffic according

to Article 701.17(a).

483.09 Method of Measurement. This work will be measured for payment as

follows.

a.Contract Quantities. The requirements for the use of contract quantities shall conform to Article 202.07(a).
b.Measured Quantities. This work will be measured for payment in place and the area computed in square yards (square meters). The width for measurement will be from the edge of the pavement to the edge of the portland cement concrete shoulder as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. The area of shoulder upon which the protective coat is applied will be measured for payment in place and the area computed in square yards (square meters). Subbase granular material, Type C, will be measured for payment according to Article 311.08. Portland Cement Concrete Shoulders Art. 483.10

483.10 Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price

per square yard (square meter) for PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE SHOULDERS, of the thickness specified. The specified thickness shall be the thickness shown on the plans at the edge of the pavement. If a protective coat is applied, it will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard (square meter) for PROTECTIVE COAT. Subbase granular material, Type C, will be paid for according to Article 311.09. Art. 501.01 Removal of Existing Structures

Division 500 — Structures

BRIDGES SECTION 501. REMOVAL OF EXISTING STRUCTURES

501.01 Description. This work shall consist of the removal of existing traffic

and drainage structures or portions thereof. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

501.02 General. The Contractor shall submit a demolition plan to the

Engineer for approval, including the proposed methods of demolition and the location(s) and type(s) of equipment to be used, for the removal of existing bridge structures or bridge decks (with the exception of box culverts), when such work will be adjacent to or over an active roadway, railroad, or waterway designated on the plans as “Public Waters”. The demolition plan shall include an assessment of the structure condition and an evaluation of the capacity and stability of the structure during demolition and shall be sealed by an Illinois Licensed Structural Engineer. Materials that are to be salvaged under the contract and which the Engineer deems fit for reuse shall be carefully removed in transportable sections and stockpiled near the site at a location designated by the Engineer. If the material for reuse is unfit, through no fault of the Contractor, the material shall be disposed of according to Article 202.03. When the Contractor damages or destroys such material, the Contractor shall repair or replace the material in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer. Materials that are not to be salvaged shall be removed and disposed of according to Article 202.03. When a superstructure is specified to be salvaged for reerection, all members and loose parts shall be properly matchmarked, all machined steel surfaces treated with an approved anti-rust compound, and all loose parts wired to adjacent members or packed in marked boxes.

501.03 Protective Shield System. When required, a protective shield system

shall be erected and maintained to protect pedestrian, vehicular, or railroad traffic from falling objects. The system shall protect the bridge length shown on the plans. The width to be protected shall be the out-to-out width of the existing structure, unless otherwise shown on the plans. The protective shield system shall be designed and constructed to sustain loads of 200 lb/sq ft (9.5 kPa) in addition to its own weight. Protective shield systems comprised of wood members shall be designed for a minimum loading duration of seven days. The system may be either fixed or mobile. The existing vertical clearances above roadways and/or railroad tracks shall be maintained. The Contractor shall coordinate the installation with municipalities and/or utilities to ensure protection of their facilities during the removal process. The Contractor shall submit working drawings and calculations prepared and sealed by an Illinois Licensed Structural Engineer to the Engineer for the protective shield system. The drawings shall provide full details, dimensions, and types of
