2.0 PROJECT EXECUTION
2.1 Surface Preparation:
All existing street surfaces shall be properly prepared by filling
depressions with asphalt and grading, planning, or scarifying as required
to remove any existing asphalt which does not conform to the predominant
typical section of the street. In some cases, a level in course may be
required for the full street length to produce a uniform typical section
before application of the surface course. The existing pavement is to be
cleaned with a mechanical sweeper followed by a hand broom where
necessary. The above-described preparation shall be considered
incidental to surface construction and no separate payment shall be
allowed except for asphalt used for leveling which shall be paid for at the
contract unit price for bituminous surface.
2.2 Base Preparation:
Where surfacing is to be placed on an aggregate base, the aggregate is to
be graded and compacted as directed by the Engineer. The aggregate
base, as prepared, shall be approved by the Engineer before the prime
coat is applied. This preparation is considered incidental to surface
construction and no separate payment shall be allowed.
2.3 Base Construction:
Where required, additional dense graded limestone base shall be
constructed to a grade and density satisfactory to the Engineer.
Excavation, which may be necessary before construction of the dense
graded base is not included as part of this item. If the Contractor is
requested to do any preliminary excavation, payment for such shall be
based on the cost of equipment and labor plus TEN PERCENT (10%) for
profit and overhead. Prior to beginning work, the Contractor shall submit
an Equipment Cost List to the City Engineer for approval.

FY 2026-2027 Request for Street Paving Bid Documents
2.4 Bituminous Tack Coat:
A bituminous tack coat shall be applied to all existing surfaces before the
resurfacing material is applied. Tack coat shall consist of emulsified
asphalt SS-1H satisfying the requirements of the Bureau of Highways
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Tack coat may
be applied without dilution providing uniform and satisfactory coverage is
achieved. If an acceptable tack coat is not consistently achieved, the
Engineer may direct the SS-1H be diluted with an equal quantity of water,
be thoroughly mixed before application, and be applied to sufficient time in
advance of the paver to ensure that all water has evaporated before the
bituminous mixture is placed. Unless otherwise specified in the
requirement for the bituminous mixture being placed, the application rate
shall be 0.4 pound (0.05 gallon) per square yard, when the Engineer
requires dilution, the diluted material shall be applied at 0.8 pound (0.10
gallon) per square yard. This item is considered incidental to the
bituminous surface construction and no separate payment shall be
allowed.
2.5 Bituminous Prime Coat:
All aggregate bases shall be primed with an emulsified asphalt, Primer L,
before application of the surface course. Material and application
procedure shall be in accordance with Kentucky Department of Highway
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Application
rate shall be 0.50 gallons per square yard unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer. This item is considered incidental to the bituminous surface
construction and no separate payment shall be allowed.
2.6 Bituminous Pavement and Milling Texture:
Bituminous milling shall consist of improving the profile, cross section, and
surface texture of an existing bituminous pavement. All work shall be
performed according to Kentucky Bureau of Highway Standard
Specification, Section 412, and shall include all labor, materials,
equipment, and incidental items necessary to complete the work, including
disposal or all resultant cuttings. The Contractor shall deliver to the City, to
a location determined by the Engineer, all cuttings removed from City
streets.
The resurfacing program shall be scheduled to follow milling operation
within two (2) weeks. The Engineer shall supply to the Contractor a list of
streets to be milled.
The Contractor shall provide for the protection of affected traffic in
accordance with the latest addition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices. The Contractor shall make provisions to include traffic
control for manholes that are at a higher grade due to the pavement
milling and profiling.

FY 2026-2027 Request for Street Paving Bid Documents
2.7 Bituminous Surface Construction:
Surface mixtures shall be given in Section 1.3 for Superpave or Marshall
equivalent mixtures. In either case, a job-mix formula (JMF) should be
submitted for review and approved for use in conjunction with expected
ESAL loadings for any particular project.
Surface thickness for overlay projects shall be approximately 112 inches
but may vary, at the discretion of the Engineer, from 1 inch to 212 inches.
Density requirements shall be the requirements set forth in Section 401.17
of the Kentucky Bureau of Highways Standard Specifications for Road and
Bridge Construction.
Payment for bituminous concrete construction shall be at the contract unit
price per ton of material installed.
2.8 Manhole Adjustment:
Manhole(s) adjustments shall be done just ahead of the resurfacing
operation and stabilized with asphalt so as not to be damaged by the
paver. If the Contractor elects to adjust manholes on streets that cannot
be resurfaced during the same working day, the Contractor shall provide
for the protection of affected traffic in accordance with the latest edition of
the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The Contractor shall make
provisions to include traffic control for manholes that are at a higher grade
due to the required adjustment.
Where possible, manhole adjusting rings supplied by the City shall be
used to adjust manhole covers to the proposed resurfacing grade. No
payment shall be allowed for this installation. When an entire casting must
be raised for manhole adjustment, care shall be taken in digging out the
existing casting so that no damage is done to the unit. The Contractor
shall also be careful not to allow debris to fall into the manhole during the
adjustment and shall promptly remove any that does fall. The adjustment
shall be made with bricks and mortar or mortar only as the elevation
requires. Only the raising of the entire casting shall be paid for at the
contract unit price for manhole adjustment.
2.9 Shoulder Construction:
Dense graded limestone aggregate shall be used for shouldering material.
Shoulder construction shall be performed by a self-propelled shouldering
machine unless an alternate method proves suitable to the Engineer.
Shoulder widths and slopes shall be determined by the Engineer for each
location but in all cases the pavement edge of the shoulder, when
compacted, shall be at the same elevation as the edge of pavement. A 4-6
tandem roller shall be used to compact the DGA to a density satisfactory
to the Engineer. Care shall be taken so as not to break off or weaken the
edges of pavement. Shoulder material around intersection radii, culverts,
entrances, etc., shall be distributed and compacted manually, if
necessary.
