613SALVAGED ROAD MATERIALS

613.01Description

This work shall consist of removing approved material from an existing road within the limits of the contract, including intersecting approaches, and using it in reconstruction of the road in accordance with these specifications or as directed.

613.02Materials

Approved materials may be asphalt treated or untreated gravel, stone, slag, or all combinations of these or other materials which are suitable for salvaging. 10

613.03Construction Requirements

Before any filling or further work is done at locations where material is to be salvaged, such material shall be removed and stored in stockpiles outside the construction limits and adjacent thereto, or it may be incorporated directly into the work without stockpiling if conditions allow.

613.03

The quantities removed, if available, shall be sufficient to complete the item of work or certain portions thereof for which it is intended. The depth of excavation shall be as directed. 20

The incorporation of the salvaged material into the work shall be in accordance with applicable provisions of the specifications for which the material is to be used or in accordance with the special provisions, depending on the nature of the material and the use to which it is put.

613.04Method of Measurement

Salvaged road material will be measured by the cubic yard in stockpiles after removal from its original position or, if the Contractor prefers, it will be measured by the cubic yard in its original position. All measurements will be made by means of 30 cross-sections. The volumes will be computed by the average end area method.

If salvaged road material is used as subbase, the combined pay qu antities of subbase and salvaged road material for subbase shall equal but shall not exceed the total theoretical volume as calculated to the neat lines shown on the plans for subbase. If the volume of salvaged road material used as subbase determined by the cross- section method does exceed the total theo retical volume of subbase, the final pay quantity for salvaged road material for subbase shall be the total theoretical volume.

The final pay quantity of subbase will be determined by deducting the final pay 40 quantity of salvaged road material for s ubbase from the total theoretical volume of subbase.

If salvaged road material is obtained from within the pay limits of the new construction, such cubic yardage of salvaged material will be deducted from the excavation quantities to be measured for payment.

613.05Basis of Payment

The accepted quantities of salvaged road material for the use shown in the Schedule of Pay Items will be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard, 50 complete in place.

Payment will be made under:
