Prior to placing the geotextile fabric and aggregate subbase course, verify that the Highway Superintendent has observed proof rolling of the subgrade. Proof rolling shall be accomplished with a smooth drum roller weighing at least 7 tons and operating in the vibratory mode. Any settlement or movement of the subgrade ahead of or under the roller that indicates a potential soft. area will require removal and replacement with suitable compacted granular material. 2.

Apply prime coat after reshaping base course and if possible before recompacting. Apply at a rate between 0.2 -0.5 gallons per square yard depending upon compacted/uncompacted base course and dense /porous aggregate surface. Avoid `flooding' base course with excessive emulsion. 3. Bituminous material shall not be applied on a wet surface, when the ambient temperature is below 50 degrees F in the shade or greater than 95 degrees F or when weather conditions would prevent the proper construction of the surface treatment. 4. The following equipment shall be required: a bituminous material distributor, a pneumatic rubber tire roller, aggregate spreader, a rotary power broom, all of which shall conform to NYSDOT specifications. 5. The surface shall be free from irregularities to provide a reasonably smooth and uniform surface to receive the treatment.

Bituminous material shall be applied by means of a pressure distributor in a uniform, continuous spread over the section to be treated. The quantity of base course bituminous material shall be 0.50 gallons per square yard. The length of spread of bituminous material shall not be in excess of that which trucks loaded cover coat material can immediately cover or which can be satisfactorily compacted. The spread of the bituminous material shall not be more than 6 inches wider than the width covered by the cover coat material from the spreading device. Under no circumstances shall operations proceed in such a manner that bituminous material will be allowed to chill, set up, dry, or otherwise impair retention of the cover aggregate. The distributor, when not spreading, shall be parked so that the spray bar of mechanism will not drip bituminous material on the surface of the traveled way. T Immediately following the application of the bituminous material, the base cover aggregate of No. 1 crushed stone shall be spread at a rate of 30 pounds per square yard. Spreading shall be accomplished in such a manner that the tires of the trucks or aggregate spreader at no time contact the uncovered and newly applied bituminous material. Immediately after the cover aggregate is spread, any deficient areas shall be covered by additional material. If uniform, the Highway Superintendent may order the contractor to use a drag broom before rolling. Pneumatic tire rolling shall begin begin immediately and shall be continued until a minimum of 3 complete passes are are obtained. Any free bituminous material on the surface caused by a deficient amount of cover material shall be covered in such a manner so as not to displace displace imbedded material. Excess material shall be swept from the entire surface by means of brooms. 8.

This is to be immediately followed by the application of No. 1 stone at the rate of 25 pounds per square yard and rolled into the bituminous material in the manner stated above. '-M -_ 1. Culverts shall be placed in natural waterways and low points in the roadway grade. Where culverts cross the roadway, the top of culvert shall not extend above the elevation of the roadway subgrade. 2. Install culverts beginning at the low point of the drainage system, true to grades and alignment with unbroken continuity of the invert. Join and install pipe and couplings in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. 39 All culverts, including driveway culverts, shall be installed in galvanized flared end sections at the inlet and outlet. 4. Driveways shall be graded so that runoff from the driveways will not sheet across the road surface. 5. Provide temporary soil erosion control devices in accordance with standards of the New York "Guidelines for Urban Erosion and Sediment Control." Remove any silt or debris periodically from drainage ways to avoid a backup of storm water. Maintain devices until drainage ways are firmly established with vegetation or lined. 1. All disturbed natural areas within the road right -of- -way or proposed drainage easements shall be restored with a minimum 4 inches of topsoil and reseeded with a grass mixture compatible with the surrounding environment. April 17, 2001, continued 2. For late fall construction and prior to winter, seed rough graded areas with a temporary conservation mix of winter rye, winter wheat and annual ryegrass. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1. Materials Source for Roadway Subbase and Base Course: Submit name and address of imported aggregate materials suppliers. Provide materials from the same source throughout the construction. Change of source requires approval by the Highway Superintendent. Submit test reports directly to the Highway Superintendent. Analysis of aggregate materials performed in accordance with ASTM C 136 and within the past three months. 2. Schedule inspections of the road construction in accordance with Exhibit A. Notify the Highway Superintendent a minimum of 24 hours in advance of each inspection. Such inspection by the Town Highway Superintendent, or designated representative, does not obligate the Town to accept the road upon offering for dedication nor relieves the builder and/or Developer from complying with the requirements of these specifications. 3.
