RI · 2024 Standard SpecificationsBook pages 604605View official source ↗

9−72 932.04 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. "Cutting and Matching Pavement" will be measured by the length in linear feet of cuts actually m ade on designated courses of pavement in accordance with the Plans and/or as directed by the Engineer.

932.05 BASIS OF PAYMENT. The accepted quantities of "Cutting and Matching Pavement" of the

types specified will be paid for at their respective contract unit prices per linear foot as listed in the Proposal. The prices so-stated constitute full and complete compensation for all labor, materials and equipment and all incidentals required to finish the work, complete and accepted by the Engineer. 932.05.1 Cold Joints. No additional payment will be made for installation of cold joints if such joints are caused by the Contractor's sequence of paving operations. OF TRAFFIC COUNT LOOP DETECTORS

933.01 DESCRIPTION. This work consists of saw cutting a slot into existing pavement surfaces

for the purpose of installing a traffic count loop detector at the locations indicated on the Plans, all in accordance with these Specifications. 933.02 MATERIALS. Not applicable.

933.03 CONSTRUCTION METHODS. Representatives of the Department will establish the

location for the traffic count loop detectors. The Contractor shall then cut a slot into the existing pavement surface 7/32-inch in width and between 1½-inches and 2½-inches in depth depending upon the thickness of the final surface course. The method of saw cutting shall be approved by the Engineer prior to the start of construction operations. The cutting of the slot is the Contractor's only responsibility under this item of work. The cutting of the slot must be made prior to the placement of the final surface course regardless of the specified thickness of that course. Personnel from the Department will provide all labor and materials required to install the detector loop wire and to subsequently seal the cut at each location. 933.04 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT. "Saw Cutting of Pavements for Installation of Traffic Count Loop Detectors" will be measured by the length in linear feet of the slots actually cut in accordance with the Plans and/or as directed by the Engineer. 933.05 BASIS OF PAYMENT. The accepted quantity of "Saw Cutting of Pavements for Installation of Traffic Count Loop Detectors" will be paid for at the contract unit price per linear foot as listed in 9−73the Proposal. The price so-stated constitutes full and complete compensation for all labor, materials, and equipment and all incidentals required to finish the work, complete and accepted by the Engineer. SECTION 934 FIELD CONTROL AND CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT

934.01 DESCRIPTION. This work consists of establishing, on the ground, all required Field Control

and Construction Layout. Project Field Control and Lay out is defined as accurately providing all necessary computations, stakes and marks required to establish lines, slopes, elevations, points, and continuous profile grades in order to perform a ll the required work for the project in accordance with the Contract requirements. Field Control and Layout is required to enable the Engineer to complete all necessary inspection, checks, verification of quantities and Contract Administration duties. The staking shall include, but not be limited to, clearing and grubbing, grading, drainage, culverts, embankments, borrow, aggregate base c ourse, pavements, bridges, utilities, signs, pavement markings, erosion control, and turf establishment items to complete the project as represented in the plans. The Surveying must be done in a way that is timely, and that is reflective of the continuing and ongoing nature of construction and inspection activities which will generally require frequent, separate project visits by the C ontractor’s survey crew, to the project to accommodate the various stages of construction and inspection activities that will occur. Field Control shall also include all survey required to accurately generate standard cross sections, measure quantities, layout for utility companies, and generate as-built drawings.

934.02 MATERIALS. All survey wedges and survey stakes shall be of seasoned oak and free of

knots. Survey wedges used for control staking shall be 1-¾” x 1-¾” and 18-inches in length. For slope limits, pavement edges, gutter lines, etc., the use of survey stakes shall be acceptable and shall be 1” x 1” and 4’-0” in length.

934.03 Construction Layout

934.03.1 General Responsibilities. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to establish field control

and to lay out the work which is proposed within the Contract. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor with basic field control and survey data for all projects except for resurfacing projects, as basic field control is not necessary to perform the work on these projects.

934.03.02 Department's Responsibility. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor with basic field

control and survey data for all projects, except re surfacing projects, upon Contract Award. This shall include confirming and re-establishing c ontrol, in the field. The basic field control will include control points, benchmarks, survey data files, survey plan sheets, and other data, which may be required for the Contractor to perform construction staking, layout, and maintenance of the basic field control. Survey work may be monitored by the E ngineer for conformance to standard survey practices. The Engineer shall be notified, by t he Contractor, 24 hours prior to any survey work being performed in the field. The Engineer/Surveyor may check the control of the work, as established by the Contractor, at any time as the work progresses.
