609Paved Drainage

609.10.1 Description. This work shall consist of constructing curb, gutter or combination curb and gutter and

paved ditches as shown on the plans or as directed by the engineer.

609.10.2 Material. Material, proportioning, air-entraining, mixing, slump and transporting of concrete shall be

in accordance with Sec 501. Concrete shall be either Class B or Pavement concrete. All material shall be in accordance with Division 1000, Material Details, and specifically as follows: Item Section Reinforcing Steel for Concrete Structures 1036 Concrete Curing Material 1055.2 Material for Joints 1057

609.10.3 Construction Requirements.

609.10.3 1 These items shall be placed on a prepared subgrade of uniform density. Forms joined neatly and

tightly, set accurately to alignment and grade and securely held in place by connections and bracing shall be used for this work. Forms for curved form lines shall be provided in a manner similar to that required for setting forms for concrete pavement in Sec 502. Slip-form methods may be used for placement of concrete curb, concrete gutter, curb and gutter and paved ditch, provided proper lines, grades and typical sections are maintained.

609.10.3 2 Required reinforcement and tie bars shall be held in the specified position during the placing of

concrete by bar chairs or other devices approved by the engineer. Joints shall be constructed at intervals and locations shown on the plans or as directed by the engineer.

609.10.3 3 Concrete shall be placed, finished and cured in accordance with Sec 703.

609.10.3 4 Concrete shall be placed on the prepared and sprinkled subgrade, consolidated and struck off to the

required thickness. Concrete shall be tamped or vibrated sufficiently to eliminate all voids and to bring mortar to the top, after which the surface shall be finished smooth and even. All edges shall be rounded with an edging tool having a 1/4-inch radius. Faces of curb shall be rounded at the top and bottom, by means of an approved tool, to the radius shown. After finishing, concrete shall be cured in the same manner as required for concrete pavement, except transparent membrane shall be used in lieu of pigmented membrane.

609.10.3 5 After the concrete has set sufficiently, the forms shall be removed, and where necessary, the

contractor shall backfill adjacent to the concrete with suitable material, compacted and finished in a satisfactory manner.

609.10.3 6 During cold weather, the weather limitations and protection requirements of Sec 502 will apply to

this work.

609.10.4 Method of Measurement.

609.10.4 1 Curb, gutter and combination curb and gutter will be measured to the nearest linear foot.

Measurement will be made along the curb face or along the flow line of gutters exclusive of paved approaches.

609.10.4 2 Paved ditches will be measured to the nearest 1/10 square yard.

609.10.5 Basis of Payment. The accepted quantities of curb, gutter, curb and gutter, and paved ditch, complete

in place, will be paid for at the contract unit price for each of the pay items included in the contract. No direct payment will be made for the following:

609.20.1 Description. This work shall consist of curb constructed on the edge of concrete pavement as shown

on the plans or as directed by the engineer.

609.20.2 Material. All material shall be in accordance with Division 1000, Material Details, and specifically as

follows: Item Section Concrete Curing Material 1055 Material for Joints 1057

609.20.2 1 Integral curb shall be constructed of concrete conforming to that required for concrete pavement,

except coarse aggregate in accordance with the gradation requirements of Sec 1005 may be used.

609.20.2 2 The quantity of coarse aggregate in the mix may be reduced to obtain better workability.

609.20.3 Construction Requirements.

609.20.3 1 The curb shall be an integral part of the supporting concrete pavement. The curb may be placed

immediately after all pavement finishing operations have taken place and before the pavement has taken initial set, or tie bars may be set in the freshly finished pavement to serve ultimately as a tie between the pavement and the curb, which may be constructed later. If the curb is to be constructed later, an epoxy coated longitudinal bar shall be tied to the tie bars. Neither of these methods will be required for the distance needed for paving equipment to be backed up near a construction joint. The pavement surface within this relatively short distance shall be roughened throughout the area to be covered by the curb.

609.20.3 2 Forms joined neatly and tightly, set accurately to alignment and grade, and securely held in place by

connections and bracing shall be used for this work. Forms for curved form lines shall be provided in a manner similar to that required for setting forms for concrete pavement in Sec 502. Slip-form methods may be used for placement of integral curb provided all other requirements of Sec 609.20 are met. Form placement and slip form use shall ensure one-inch minimum concrete cover for longitudinal bar and tie bars, when used.

609.20.3 3 The finished curb shall be true to line, grade and cross section, with the top and face finished smooth.

The top edges of the curb shall be rounded with approved edging tools. Curing shall be accomplished in the same manner as required for concrete pavement, except transparent membrane shall be used. Joints of preformed material shall be placed through the curb and into each underlying transverse pavement joint to the full depth of the joint in the pavement. The preformed material shall extend entirely through the curb to within 1/4 inch of the top and face of the curb.

609.20.3 4 Where tie bars are set in freshly finished pavement surface and membrane curing is used on the

pavement, care shall be taken to avoid spraying the membrane on the protruding tie bars, longitudinal bar or the area on which the integral curb is to be placed. One of the other curing methods allowed in accordance with Sec 502 shall be used for curing this area of the pavement.

609.20.3 5 Integral curb straightedged parallel to the centerline shall not show a variance greater than 1/4 inch

from a 10-foot straightedge.

609.20.4 Method of Measurement. Final measurement of the completed integral curb will not be made except

for authorized changes during construction or where appreciable errors are found in the contract quantity. Where required, integral curb will be measured to the nearest linear foot along the curb face, exclusive of paved approaches. The revision or correction will be computed and added to or deducted from the contract quantity.

609.20.5 Basis of Payment. The accepted quantity of integral curb, complete in place, will be paid for at the

contract unit price for each of the pay items included in the contract. Payment for curb constructed on paved approaches will be included in the contract unit price for paved approaches. SECTION 609.30 ASPHALT CURB.

and asphalt binder combined in such proportions that the composition by weight of the finished mixture shall be within the limits specified for BP-3 or SP048 mixture in accordance with Sec 401 and Sec 403. The contractor shall submit in writing to Construction and Materials for approval of the job mix formula the contractor proposes to use for asphalt curb. A mixture demonstrating satisfactory results provided by the contractor may be used in lieu of the above mixtures.

609.30.4 Construction Requirements.

609.30.4 1 The curb shall be placed in position on a primed surface by means of an approved automatic curb

machine that shapes and compacts the mixture to the specified cross section. The placement temperature of the mixture shall be approximately 260 F. All joints shall be carefully made in such a manner as to ensure a continuous bond between the old and new sections of the curb.

609.30.4 2 The newly laid curb shall be protected from traffic until the heat of the asphalt mixture has

dissipated. Immediately after the asphalt curb has hardened, the curb shall be backfilled where required with suitable material.

609.30.4 3 If painting of the asphalt curb is specified in the contract, a primer coat of commercial grade asphalt

base aluminum paint shall be applied first.

609.30.5 Method of Measurement. Asphalt curb will be measured to the nearest linear foot.

609.30.6 Basis of Payment. The accepted quantity of asphalt curb will be paid for at the contract unit price. No

direct payment will be made for priming prior to placing the curb or for painting the completed curb. SECTION 609.40 DRAIN BASIN.
