SECTION 935 REMOVING BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT BY MICRO-MILLING
935.01 DESCRIPTION. This work consists of the removal of bituminous material using micro-
milling to a depth specified on the Plans or as dire cted by the Engineer, all in accordance with these Specifications.
935.02 MATERIALS. Not applicable.
935.03 Construction Methods.
935.03.1 Equipment. The milling equipment for removing the bituminous pavement shall be
designed specifically for grinding asphalt surfaces to close tolerances and shall be operated at a rate that will avoid tearing and gouging of the pavement surface. The equipment shall be capable of accurately establishing profile grades and cross slopes, and shall have a positive means for preventing any dust resulting from the operation from escaping into the air. An averaging ski not less than 25 feet in length shall be utilized with the pavement removal equipment on all limited-access highways and on other types of highways w hen indicated in the Contract Documents. 9−78 The equipment furnished by the Contractor shall be in good repair and shall be maintained so as to produce a clean cut to the pavement at all times.
935.03.2 Control Strip. The Contractor shall grind a control strip at least 500 feet long with
uniformly textured surface and cross section. The milled pavement surface shall have a transverse pattern 0.3 inches or less between the centers of each strike area. The macrotexture shall be 1/16 inches or less as measured using ASTM E965.
935.03.3 Pavement Grinding. Upon the approval of the Control Strip by the Engineer, all areas
designated for micro-milling shall be ground using the identical procedures , settings and speed, and shall conform in all respects to the requirements for the control strip. No asphalt cuttings shall remain on the project at the end of the workday. Asphalt cuttings shall be removed and legally disposed of by the Contractor. Care shall be exercised in cold planing adj acent to roadway joints, roadway appurtenances and face of curbing.
935.04 Method of Measurement . “Removing Bituminous Pavement by Micro-Milling” will be
measured by the number of square yards of said pavement actually removed in accordance with the Plans and/or as directed by the Engineer.
935.05 Basis of Payment – The accepted quantity of “Removing Bituminous Pavement by Micro-
Milling” will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard as listed in the Proposal. The price so-stated constitutes full and complete compensation for all labor, materials, equipment, disposal and all incidentals required to finish the work, complete and accepted by the Engineer. SECTION 936 MOBILIZATION AND DEMOBILIZATION
936.01 DESCRIPTION. 936.01.1 Mobilization consists of those efforts necessary for the movement of the Contractor's
personnel and equipment to the project site, the establishment of all the Contractor's field offices, buildings and other facilities required for the performance of the Contract, and all other incurred costs for work or operations required to be performed prior to the actual commencement of work on the Proposal items in the Contract.
936.01.2 Demobilization consists of removal of all materials, equipment, temporary structures and
all other facilities of a temporary nature from the project site at the conclusion of the project, and restoration of the project site, including those ar eas used for storage of equipment, materials or the placement of temporary facilities.
936.02 MATERIALS . Not applicable.
