4−44 with a power driven mechanical agitator and circul ation pump. The melter shall be equipped with a thermostat to maintain the sealing compound within the range of temperatures specified by the manufacturer and with a suitably mounted thermometer to indicate the temperature of the sealing compound in the melter. The melting temperature of the sealer will be furnished by the manufacturer, and shall not be exceeded by more than 10 OF. The joint seal shall be applied with a pressurized mobile carriage and rubber shoe and the system shall have a flow control valve which allows all cracks to be filled to refusal so as to eliminate all voids or entrapped air and so as to not leave unnecessary surplus crack sealer on the pavement surface. The hot seal shall completely fill the joint, such that, after cooling, the level of the sealer will be flush with the pavement surface. Any depression in the seal shall be brought up to the specified limit by the further addition of hot seal. Care shall be taken in the sealing of the joints such that the final appearance will present a neat fine line. Overfilling of the joints will not be allowed, and spillage of the sealer should be avoided. All workmanship shall be of the highest quality, and all excess or spilled sealer must be removed from the pavement by approved methods and discarded. 409.04 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. "Sawing and Sealing Transverse Joints in Bituminous Concrete Pavement" will be measured by the number of linear feet of sealed joint actually installed in accordance with the Plans and/or as directed by the Engineer. 409.05 BASIS OF PAYMENT. The accepted quantity of "Sawing and Sealing Transverse Joints in Bituminous Concrete Pavement" will be paid for at the contract unit price per linear foot as listed in the Proposal. The price so-stated constitutes full and complete compensation for all labor, materials and equipment, and for all incidentals requir ed to finish the work , complete and accepted by the Engineer.
