616.03 Method of Measurement

616.04 Basis of Payment
616.01 Description. This work consists of applying water or dust palliative for the alleviation or prevention of dust nuisance originating from earthwork construction operations from within the project construction limits.

616.02 Construction Requirements. Perform dust control operations at the time and location and in the amount ordered by the Engineer. Maintain control of the application of water or dust palliative at all times to minimize dust but not to create saturated soil conditions. The Engineer will determine whether water or dust palliative is to be used to alleviate or prevent dust nuisance, and the amounts of each material to be used. Do not apply calcium chloride to areas that will be subsequently seeded or sodded.

Furnish and apply water used for dust control by means of tanks equipped with suitable sprinkling devices.

Use dust palliative consisting of 712.02 calcium chloride or a brine solution containing a minimum of 30 percent by weight of calcium chloride. Spread the calcium chloride uniformly over the surface.

616.03 Method of Measurement. The Department will measure Water by the M gallons (cubic meters) applied and measured either in tanks, tank wagons, or trucks of predetermined capacity; or by means of meters of a type and furnished and installed by the Contractor at no expense to the Department; or determined by weight conversion.

The Department will measure Calcium Chloride by the number of tons (metric tons) by weight measurement, furnished and applied. When brine is used, the Department will determine the weight of calcium chloride by multiplying the number of gallons (cubic meters) by the factor 0.0024 (0.575).

617.03 Prosecution

617.04 Shoulder Preparation

617.05 Furnishing and Compacting Additional Aggregate

617.06 Method of Measurement

617.07 Basis of Payment
617.01 Description. This work consists of preparing the shoulder, and furnishing and compacting additional aggregate on the existing or prepared shoulder.

Use all suitable material in the work. Alternatively, legally use, recycle, or dispose of all excavated materials according to 105.16 and 105.17.

617.02 Materials. Furnish materials conforming to 703.18.

617.03 Prosecution. If reconditioning shoulders in connection with a resurfacing project and where traffic is maintained, place shoulder material along with the paving operations as rapidly as possible. Complete all shoulder reconditioning within 4 days following the placement of the surface course or any course that results in a drop-off of 2.0 inches (50 mm) or greater.

617.04 Shoulder Preparation. If shoulder preparation is specified, loosen the existing surface to a depth of 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm). If the surface is an asphalt mix or seal, cut the surface along the edge of the pavement with a blade or disc to give a straight vertical edge. Reduce pieces of loosened material that exceed approximately 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) in size to at least this maximum size or consider these pieces unsuitable material. Remove and dispose of oversized or other unsuitable material that would interfere with placing of aggregate. Reshape the loosened material as necessary to conform to the requirements for placing aggregate.

617.05 Furnishing and Compacting Additional Aggregate. Spread aggregate with approved spreaders. Do not dump or store aggregate on the pavement. Remove spilled aggregate from the pavement as spreading progresses.

Perform the initial compaction of the material using crawler-type tractors, tamping rollers, trench rollers, suitable pneumatic tire equipment, or other suitable equipment. Use compaction equipment weighing at least 6 tons (5 metric tons) and use a minimum of four total passes. Perform final compaction of the surface of the shoulder using approved pneumatic tire equipment. Compact the aggregate immediately after the spreading operation to prevent loss of contained moisture and displacement of the material.

Apply water as directed by the Engineer when required to aid compaction and to prevent segregation of the material.

617.06 Method of Measurement. The Department will measure Shoulder Preparation by the number of square yards (square meters).

The Department will measure Compacted Aggregate, by the number of cubic yards (cubic meters) in place computed from the profile grade and typical sections.

The Department will measure Water by the number of M gallons (cubic meters) according to 616.03.

If the plans provide for the use of aggregate in a variable width or depth course and the Department cannot readily calculate the quantity from profile grade and typical sections, the Department will determine the volume by converting weight (mass) to cubic yards (cubic meters) according to Table 617.06-1.

Table 617.06-1
Aggregate	lb/yd^3	kg/m^3
Crushed stone	3800	2255
Crushed gravel	3900	2315

[1] Based on average dry rodded weight of standard sizes of slag on record at the Laboratory. The conversion factors listed are the long gradation weights. These numbers are based on the dry rodded weights of No. 67, 57, or 8 gradation. The Department will determine slag weights based on weights obtained from the original source.

The Department will classify salvaged or mixed materials according to the material that makes up the majority of the mixture.

The moistures of the delivered material will be less than 2 percent above saturated surface dry condition or the payment will be based on the dry densities and dry weights.

Furnish freight bills or certified weigh bills according to Item 109.

618.02 Construction of Rumble Strips on Shoulders

618.03 Method of Measurement

618.04 Basis of Payment
618.01 Description. This work consists of grinding depressions (rumble strips) in paved shoulders.

Construct rumble strips according to the standard construction drawings.

618.02 Construction of Rumble Strips on Shoulders. Furnish equipment to grind the depressions with a rotary cutting head that will produce the required dimensions and a pattern of cutting tips to produce a smooth cut with approximately 0.06 inches (1.5 mm) between peaks and valleys. Ensure that the cutting head is on its own suspension system, independent from that of the power unit, to allow the head to align itself with the slope of the shoulder or any irregularities in the shoulder surface. Equip the cutting tool with guides or a guidance system, clearly visible to the operator, to provide for consistent alignment. Take effective measures to control dust during the grinding operation. Remove and dispose of all grinding materials deposited on the roadway pavement in a manner approved by the Engineer and before opening the roadway to traffic.

618.03 Method of Measurement. The Department will measure Rumble Strips by the number of feet (meters) or mile (kilometer) as the sum of the lengths of the individual segments. The Department will measure lengths along the inside edge of the shoulder, from the center of the first depression in a segment to the center of the last depression in that segment. If Rumble Strips are provided on more than one shoulder, the Department will measure lengths separately for each shoulder segment and add the individual lengths together to obtain the total length.

618.04 Basis of Payment. The Department will not pay for repairing surface damage and extraneous marks caused by the Contractor’s operations.

D. Closer than 2 inches (50 mm) to a pavement construction (transverse or longitudinal) joint or within an intersection.

E. Within 3 feet (1 m) of a bridge expansion joint.

If the initial location of a RPM is determined to violate one of the aforementioned conditions, relocate the affected RPM longitudinally. Relocate the RPM within a distance not exceeding 25 percent of the specified RPM spacing. If necessary to relocate the RPM to a distance greater than 25 percent of the specified RPM spacing, do not install the affected RPM.

RPMs along double yellow centerline are to be placed in line or on line, but no closer than 2” (50 mm) to a pavement construction (transverse or longitudinal) joint. RPMs installed along a channelizing line are to be placed no more than 1 inch (25 mm) from the edge of the painted line and no closer than 2” (50 mm) to a pavement construction (transverse or longitudinal) joint. Place the RPMs installed along a lane line or dashed yellow centerline between and in line with the dashes no closer than 2” (50 mm) to a pavement construction (transverse or longitudinal) joint.

Install replacement RPMs within 3 feet (0.9 m) longitudinally of the damaged or missing RPM.
