Effective with the December 2018 Letting 519 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 690 Sawing
690.1 Description
(1) This section describes sawing o f existing concrete or asphalt including pavement, curb & gutter, driveways, sidewalks, and similar work.
690.2 (Vacant)
690.3 Construction 690.3.1 Equipment
(1) Use diamond blades for sawing concrete where a full-depth cut is required. The contractor may use carbide cutting wheels to saw c oncrete that will be overlaid or for full-depth cuts where the cut face does not join the new concrete. 690.3.2 Sawing Asphalt (1) Make straight saw cuts at leas t 2 inches deep. Saw so the surf ace remaining is generally vertical over its full depth. Saw to the depth the plan indicates or as the e ngineer directs or allows. 690.3.3 Sawing Concrete (1) Do not extend saw cuts into newly placed concrete pavement or into existing pavements more than 12 inches beyond the limits the engineer designates. Saw full-depth unless the plans indicate otherwise or the engineer directs or allows otherwise. (2) Remove sawing sludge after comp leting each saw cut. Minimize sludge on live traffic lanes. Remove sludge from all traffic control devices each day before dark. D ispose of sludge at an acceptable material disposal site or on engineer-approved areas of the roa dway or roadside.
690.4 Measurement
(1) The department will measure Sawing Asphalt and Sawing Concrete by the linear foot acceptably completed. The department will no t measure overcuts beyond the limits the plans show or the engineer directs. (2) If performing Sawing Concrete in conjunction with concrete pavement repair and replacement or concrete base patching, the depa rtment will measure the applica ble total quantity of the following:
1.One full-depth longitudinal cut th rough the repair area if the engineer deems that cut necessary.
2.Two full-depth transverse cuts, one at each limit of the re pair area.
3.Additional transverse cuts as necessary to reduce the remov al slabs to a transportable size. The department will not measure cuts made to reduce removal slabs t o a width less than 7 feet.
4.Additional full-depth cuts the engineer directs to extend t he repair limits, unless t hose cuts were required because of damage contractor operations caused. (3) The department will measure and pay for composite cuts through both asphalt and concrete as concrete.
690.5 Payment
(1) The department will pay for measured quantities at the contrac t unit price under the following bid items: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT
690.0150 Sawing Asphalt LF
690.0250 Sawing Concrete LF
(2) Payment is full compensation for sawing and sludge removal. Effective with the December 2018 Letting 520 2019 Standard Spec ifications Part 7 Quality Management Program Effective with the December 2018 Letting 521 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 701 General QMP Requirements Rewrite and reorganize section 701 to coordinate with the a ddition of sections 730 and 740 for base aggregate and ride.
701.1 Description
701.1.1 General (1) This section describes contrac tor responsibilities common to Q MPs under part 7 including quality control plans; personnel and laboratory certification; quality control testing; data submission; and record keeping. This section also describes department responsi bilities, common to all QMPs under
Part 7 — , for verification and quality assurance testing. Excepti ons and additional requirements under the
QMP program are specified in the individual QMP provisions. 701.1.2 Quality Control Program 701.1.2.1 General (1) Provide and maintain a quality control program, defined as all contractor activities and documentation of the following:
1.Gradation and mix design.
2.Control and inspection of production and placement processe s.
3.Material sampling , testing, and correct ion of in-place work . (2) CMM chapter 8 provides additional detailed gui dance for QMP work and describ es required sampling and testing procedures. (3) The department’s materials reporting system (MRS) software all ows contractors to submit selected data to the department electroni cally, estimate pay adjustments , and print reports. Qualified personnel may obtain MRS software at: http://www.atwoodsystems.com/ 701.1.2.2 Quality Control Plan Revise 701.1.2.2(1) to require projec t-specific QC plans for each individual QMP specification and require engineer approval for changes. (1) Prepare a project-specific writt en quality control plan for eac h individual QMP specification and construct the project as that plan provides. Submit each individual quality control plan to the engineer no later than 10 business days bef ore placing the respective ma terial. Obtain engineer approval before making process or materia l changes that differ from thos e provided in approved QC plans. Update QC plans with changes as they become effective. Provide current plans to the engineer and post in each contractor laborator y before producing material an d as changes are adopted. Revise 701.1.2.2(2) to add aggregate source certification numbers and batch plant & processing locations. (2) Ensure that quality control plans include the following elemen ts:
1.Organizational chart includi ng names, telephone numbers, cu rrent certifications, and roles and responsibilities of quality control personnel.
2.Process for disseminating qu ality control and corrective ac tion information to appr opriate persons. Include a list of recipients, the communi cation means used, and action time frames.
3.Locations of QC laboratories.
4.Material sources ; include unique identifier fo r each aggregate source. 5 . Batch plants and processing locations.
6.Initial and rout ine equipment c hecks and docu mentation.
7.Frequency of contractor quality control testing. 8. Process control testing the contractor intends to perform, and associated control charts or other documentation the contractor wi ll make available to the departm ent.
9.Procedures for identifying an d documenting the locations of yielding foundation before placing material. 701.1.2.3 Small Quantities (1) For contracts with small quantities of material, as defined un der specific contract QMP provisions, the contractor may submit an abbrevia ted quality control plan consi sting of only items 1, 4, 5, and 7 of 701.1.2.2(2) or integrate that small-quanti ty work into another contract QC plan. 701.1.2.4 Personnel Certification (1) Have personnel that are HTCP-ce rtified at or above the minimum levels specified in table 701-1 perform sampling, testi ng, and documentation. (2) A certified technician coordinat es and is responsible for work an assistant certifi ed technician (ACT) performs. The certified technici an ensures that sampling and te sting is performed correctly, analyzes
