1015.12.2 Initial Retroreflectivity: All retroreflectivity readings

shall be measured with a geometry of 1.05 degrees observation angle and

88.76 degrees entrance angle as detailed in ASTM E1710.

For traffic paint, initial retroreflectance shall have a minimum of 250 mcd/lux/sq m for white and 17 5 mcd/lux/sq m for yellow. Glass beads shall be uniformly distributed to ensure that the full width of the line is visible at night.

305.01 DESCRIPTION. Subgrade layer is primarily used for new

roadway construction. Treat subgrade soil materials with portland cement, portland -pozzolan blended hydraulic cement, or a combination of portland cement and lime, or construct a subgrade layer of stone, recycled portland cement concrete, blended calcium sulfate, or asphalt concrete in accordance with plan details or as directed. When requiring traffic to be placed on the completed, unsurfaced subgrade layer, or when the subgrade layer falls below natural ground, blended calcium sulfate will not be allowed. When not specified, the subgrade layer may be composed of any of the types of materials listed above, at the option of the contractor. Use the same subgrade layer throughout the project unless otherwise approved by the project engineer. The plans may limit the types of subgrade layer allowed. These specifications set forth the minimum requirements for construction of the subgrade layer; however, construct a subgrade layer that will provide adequate support for construction equipment and processes. Quality assurance requirements shall be as specified in the latest edition of the Department’s publication titled Application of Quality Assurance Specifications for Embankment and Base Course. Submit a dust control plan to address weather, sight clearance, operational procedures, traffic control, and any other project specific concerns. Failure to maintain sight clearance will result in the engineer stopping contractor operations. The Department will identify the dust-sensitive areas on the plans. In order to meet air quality standards, the contractor may be required to use central plant mixing of cement or cement and lime treated mixtures in dust sensitive areas at no direct pay.

305.02 MATERIALS. Materials shall comply with the following

sections and subsections: Geotextile Fabric 203.11 & Section 1019 Asphalt Concrete Section 502 Portland Cement 1001.01 Blended Hydraulic Cement 1001.02 Emulsified Asphalt Section 1002 Stone 1003.01 & 1003.04.1 Recycled Portland Cement Concrete 1003.01 & 1003.04.1 Blended Calcium Sulfate 1003.01 & 1003.04.2 Water 1018.01 Lime 1018.02 Sample blended calcium sulfate in accordance with the requirements for stone in Section 302 of the Materials Sampling Manual .
