(1)Level and thoroughly compact the bottom of the holes at the proper elevation. Place the monument

and backfill with suitable material and thoroughly compact in 6 -inch layers. 621.3.2.4 Aluminum Drive-In Monuments

(1)If the plans or the engineer specifies aluminum drive-in monum ents for use in unstable soils, drive the

monuments into the ground to the minimum depth the plans show a nd drive the top flush with the surface.

(2)Increase the depth as the engin eer directs to obtain a suitabl e foundation for the monument.

621.3.2.5 Monument and Cover

(1)Under the Landmark Reference M onuments and Cas t Iron Covers an d Landmark Reference

Monuments and Aluminum Covers bid items, construct cast in plac e or precast reinforced concrete monuments in holes excavated in the ground and covered with cas t iron covers or, if specified, aluminum monuments excavated or driven into the ground and cove red with aluminum covers.

(2)Construct cast in place or preca st concrete monuments or aluminum monuments as specified in the

above subsections, except as follows:

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 373 2019 Standard Spec ifications - Place 12 inches of granular b ackfill to an elevation at least 3 inches below the top of concrete monuments according to plan details. - If using cast in place conc rete monuments, form at least the top 3 inches of the monument.

(3)Place and adjust the cover as specified in 611.

621.3.3 Protecting and Curing

(1)Cure exposed portions of cast i n place concrete monuments as s pecified in 415.3.12 except the

contractor may use curing compound conforming to 501.2.9 . Wait at least 72 hours before loading.

(2)Protect placed concrete monuments as specified for concrete pa vement in 415.3.14

(3)Protect cast in place concrete monuments from freezing for 7 d ays.

621.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure bid items under this section as ea ch individual monument acceptably

completed.

621.5Payment

(1)The department will pay for measured quantities at the contrac t unit price under the following bid

items: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

621.0100 Landmark Reference Monuments EACH

621.1100 Landmark Reference Monuments and Cast Iron Covers EACH

621.1200 Landmark Reference Monuments and Aluminum Covers EACH

(2)Payment for the Landmark Refere nce bid items is full compensation for excavati ng; for providing

concrete; for providing aluminum monuments, including markers; for providing steel rod; for placing department-furnished markers; for providing and adjusting iron or aluminum covers; for backfilling; and for disposing of surplus materials.

(3)The department will not pay for the increased depth of monumen t if the engineer directs this to obtain

suitable foundation.

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 374 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 623 Dust Control Surface Treatment

623.1Description

(1)This section describes applying dust control surface treatment to aggregate bases, shoulders, and

other drivable surfaces.

623.2Materials

623.2.1 General

(1)Furnish either magnesium chloride or calcium chloride in either a liquid or a solid state. Furnish stable

solutions with less than 1 percent sediment falling out of solution below 0 F.

(2)Provide a certified report o f test or analysis from the manufa cturer or supplier certifying chemical

composition. The department will ac cept material based on those certifications as specified in 106.3.3 . 623.2.2 Magnesium Chloride

(1)Furnish liquid solutions containing 30 percent or more magnesi um chloride by weight, less than 1

percent calcium chloride by wei ght, and less than 1 percent sod ium chloride by weight.

(2)Furnish solid containing 47 percent or more magnesium chloride by weight, less than 1 percent

calcium chloride by weight, and le ss than 1 percent sodium chlo ride by weight. 623.2.3 Calcium Chloride

(1)Furnish liquid solutions containing 38 percent or more calcium chloride by weight, l ess than 1 percent

magnesium chloride by weight, and less than 1 percent sodium ch loride by weight.

(2)Furnish solid containing 77 perc ent or more calcium chloride b y weight, less than 1 percent

magnesium chloride by weight, and less than 1 percent sodium ch loride by weight.

623.3Construction

(1)The contractor is responsible for dust control on the project as specified in 107.18. Treat vulnerable

areas of the project as necessar y to control dust from construction equipment and public traffic. Consult with engineer before applying dust control chemical. Ap ply chemical treatment as the engineer directs.

(2)Arrange to have available, within 24 hours of receiving notice from the engineer, a sufficient supply of

dust control chemical to treat thos e areas of the project vulnerable at any time during construction. Also, provide, within the same 24 hours, sufficient spreading e quipment to apply the chemical. Provide spreading equipment capable of applying the dust control chemical, uniformly and without runoff, over the treated surface at the s pecified application rate.

(3)After shaping and compacting the surface to be treated, apply a sufficient quantity of water to

penetrate at least 2 inches. After this pre-wetting and while the surface is still moist but not muddy, apply the required quantity of chem ical uniformly over that sur face at the following rate:

1.For liquids, 0.33 gallons or more/square yard. Do not excee d 0.50 gallons/square yard.

2.For solids, 1.5 pounds or more/square yard. Do not exceed 2 pounds/square yard.

(4)Do not apply dust control chemical in the rain, when the offic ial weather bureau forecasts rain within

24 hours, or under other conditions that might result in a significant loss of material.

623.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure Dust C ontrol Surface Treatment by the square yard acceptably

completed. The engineer may calculate the yardage using volume or weight and applying a conversion factor.

623.5Payment

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

item: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

623.0200 Dust Control Su rface Treatment SY

(2)Payment for Dust Control Surfac e Treatment is full compensatio n for providing the dust control

treatment and pre-wetting water.
