Wisconsin WisDOT Standard Specifications (within FDM) — Section 214

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 114 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 214 Obliterating Old Road

214.1Description

(1)This section describes grading portions of the old road required to be abandoned, and includes

scarifying or plowing areas of the old roadway. The work under this section applies only to those portions of the old roadway, des ignated for obliteration, located outside the slope limits of the grading for the new roadway. 214.2 (Vacant)

214.3Construction

(1)Grade and trim areas of the old roadway contiguous to and lyin g partly within the lateral grading limits

of the new construction as require d, to obliterate the old road way.

(2)Clear and grub areas outside the clearing and grubbing limits of the new project, necessary to properly

obliterate the old road. Remove and dispose of or salvage misce llaneous structures from within the limits designated for obliteration. Topsoil, fertilize, and seed the area within the limits designated for obliteration.

(3)After the road is no longer needed for traffic, fill the old d itches and grade the roadway, either to

approximately restore the original contour of the ground or to produce a contour that merges with the contour of the adjoining land. If possible, place waste materia l from the new construction in cuts on the old road. If the engineer allows, i n writing, the contractor ma y obtain borrow or sel ect borrow required for the new construction from fills on the old road.

(4)Break-down and bury, or remove old bridges and culverts to be removed, for which no separate

provision for disposal is included in the contract, as specifie d for their removal under 203, except, leave no parts of the structures within 2 feet of the finished surface.

(5)Break pavements, curb, gutter, and similar rigid structures, t hat have no separate provision for

disposal in the contract, and that occur within 2 feet of the p roposed finished surface into pieces no larger than one square foot befor e covering. Break down and rem ove pavements, curb, gutter, and similar rigid structures if occ urring within one foot of the pr oposed finished surface as specified for removing or abandoning miscellaneous structures under 204.

(6)Scarify or plow old road aggregate or asphaltic surfacing unde rlying the proposed finished surface by

less than one foot, that have no separate contract provision fo r salvage or disposal, , to effectively mix the material with soil. If possibl e, blade the surfacing material into the old ditches and cover with suitable soil.

(7)Remove rocks, boulders, and su rface stone encountered in the w ork and dispose of as specified for

roadway and drainage excavation under 205. Place stones larger than 6 inches at least 6 inches below the proposed finished sur face. If the obliterated area is suitable for cultivation keep stone to a reasonable minimum in the upper 18 inches of completed embankme nt and place no structure or pavement concrete or other debris within 2 feet of the finished grade.

(8)After completing rough grading, place topsoil as specified in 625 in the areas of the obliterated old

road the plans designate, the co ntract specifies, or the engineer directs. After completing necessary topsoiling, harrow, smooth, fe rtilize, and seed the entire area of the obliterated old roadway as specified for fertilizer and seeding in 629 and 630, unless the engineer approves otherwise.

(9)Remove material from culverts or bridges and other material, designated for salvage, to avoid

damage, and place in neat piles on the right-of-way at locations the engineer designates.

214.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure Oblit erating Old Road, by the station acceptably completed, measured to

the nearest 1/10 station along t he old road centerline or reference line of those portions of the old roadway, designated for obliteration, located outside the slope limits of the grading for the new roadway. The department will excl ude areas of the old road from which the contractor has obtained material under the Borrow or Select Borrow bid items. 214.5 Payment

(1)The department will pay for the measured quantity at the contr act unit price under the following bid

item: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

214.0100 Obliterating Old Road STA

(2)Payment for Obliterating Old Ro ad is full compensation for gra ding, scarifying, and plowing; for

removing non-rigid pavement surfa cing; and for the other work r equired under this section except as follows:

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 115 2019 Standard Spec ifications 1. The department will pay separ ately for clearing and grubbin g under the Clearing and Grubbing bid items as specified in 201.5 .

2.The department will pay separately for grading and trimming areas of the old roadway contiguous to and

lying partly within the lateral grading limits of the new const ruction under the Exca vation bid items as specified in 205.5 .

3.The department will pay separately for borrow or select bor row required for the construction of the new

roadway, if obtained from the ol d road, under the Borrow or Select Borrow bid items as specified in 208.5 .

4.The department will pay for asphaltic surfacing, gravel, cr ushed stone or other mat erials salvaged from the

old road and used in the constr uction of the new road, as calle d for on the plans or ordered, separately.

5.If the contract contains the Re moving Pavement bid item, th e department will pay separately for removing

concrete pavement, brick pavemen t, and rigid base, from within the limits designated for obliteration, under the Removing Pavement bid item as specified in 204.5 .

6.If the contract includes separate bid items for removing sp ecific miscellaneous structures from within the

limits designated for obliteration, the depar tment will pay sep arately for these removals under the 204 bid items specified under 204.5 .

7.The department will pay separately for removing old culverts and bridges under the 203 bid items specified

in 203.5 .

8.The department will pay for separately for topsoiling under the Topsoil or Salvaged Topsoil bid items as

specified in 625.5 .

9.The department will pay separately for fertilizing under th e Fertilizer bid items as specified in 629.5 .

10.The department will pay separ ately for seeding under the S eeding bid items as specified in 630.5 .
