payment the same was if the material had been hauled from excavation to embankment,
as above contemplated.
(g) Where the amount of material excavated from the roadway is
insufficient to make the embankment,the extra material required shall be furnished by
the Contractor from borrow pits. If borrow pits are located within the lines of the road to
be improved,their location, cross-section and grades shall be as approved by the
Superintendent of Streets.

ORD. 113 3
being deposited in proper place embankment. When such distance is 1,000 feet or less, no
payment for overhaul shall be made, it being understood that a"free haul" of 1,000 feet is
covered by the contract price for excavation. The overhaul shall be the gross haul, less
1,000 feet.

(b) Depressions shall be filled with additional and satisfactory material
and watered and tamped as before. If necessary,plowing,watering and tamping shall be
repeated until the roadbed and shoulders are properly compacted.
(c) After the tamping process is satisfactorily completed the roadbed
shall be rolled with a roller weighing not less than 300 pounds to the inch width of rolls,
until uniformly hard and smooth. As finished,the roadbed shall conform to the grades
and lines given by the Engineer and to the cross-section called for in the plan. The
Contractor may finish the shoulders to the required grade after the pavement has been
completed.
(d) Pavement shall not be laid until the roadbed therefore is in a
condition acceptable to the Superintendent of Streets.

Section 20 these specifications.
(b) The upper surface of the concrete pavement shall be finished
parallel to and one-half inch below the grade of the finished pavement by either hand
tamping or by the use of the templates cut to the prescribed crown of the pavement. As
finished the concrete shall be thoroughly consolidates, free from unevenness of surface
and slightly roughened with rakes,brooms or other appliances to prepare it for the
bituminous wearing surface hereinafter described.
(c) Expansion joints will not be provided for, but to prevent irregular
cracking of the pavement on account of contraction and expansion it shall be grooved or

which sand shall be evenly spread over the surface of the pavement in sufficient quantity
to absorb any excess of asphaltic oil and fill the voids of the stone screenings.
ORD. 113 5

pressure spraying type acceptable to the Superintendent of Streets.
(g) The right is reserved to vary the quantities of the various materials
composing the asphaltic oil wearing surface and the order and manner of placing said
materials, as may be required to obtain the best results,provided that the thickness of
wearing surface shall remain substantially the same.
(h) Any oil used above the amount called for under these
specifications, shall be furnished by the Contractor at his own expense.
(i) All of the oiling covered by these specifications shall be done only
when the atmosphere temperature is above sixty-five (65) degrees Fahrenheit, and even
then only during such periods as the sun is shining. This rule may be suspended by the
Superintendent of Streets, when in his judgment,the same may not be determental to the
work.
(j) No oiling will be permitted unless the surface to be covered is dry.
SAND AND BROKEN STONE SCREENINGS FOR WEARING SURFACE
Section 18. (a) Sand for the wearing surface shall be clean, sharp and shall be

acceptable to the Engineer.
SHOULDERS
Section 19. (a) Shoulders of the dimensions shown on the plans or of such
dimensions as the Engineer shall specify, shall be built on both sides of the paved way.
(b) If the Superintendent of Streets shall so direct, any material which
he may select from the excavation of the existing roadbed shall be stacked in piles, saved
for use on the shoulders and used therefore when directed by the Superintendent of
Streets.
(c) The shoulders shall be shaped to conform to the cross-section
prescribed in the plan and shall be rolled with a roller weighing not less than 300 pounds
to the inch width of rolls,until smooth and unyielding. When completed the shoulders
shall join truly to the pavement and otherwise conform to the prescribed lines and cross-
sections.
(d) The cost of all materials used in the shoulders and all work
pertaining to their construction,except as provided in Section 14,will be considered as
ORD. 113 6
included in the price paid for grading, and no additional allowance will be made

Portland Cement, three cubic feet of fine aggregate and six cubic feet of coarse aggregate.
(h) The mixing of the ingredients of the concrete shall be performed in
such a manner as to secure their uniform distribution throughout the mass. If this work be
done by hand,water tight platforms or boxes shall be used to prevent the waste of
cement.
(i) If a machine mixer is used, a kind shall be employed into which
materials, including the water, can be precisely and regularly proportioned, and which
will produce a concrete uniform in consistency and color and with the coarse aggregate
and water thoroughly mixed and incorporated with the mortar. The machine, if used to
mix concrete for road pavement, shall be provided with a devise for depositing the
concrete in place with out a segregation of the ingredients.

Superintendent of Streets, and in such case,it shall be deposited in a way that will
prevent the separation of the fine and coarse aggregate. Concrete shall not be laid in
running water.

replaced by removing the defective work and refilling the space with one to one cement
mortar. Exposed surfaces shall be finished smooth and uniform, by removing all form
marks and imperfections. A neat cement grout shall be applied over the entire surface, if
required by the Superintendent of Street.
(n) When joining new concrete with concrete already set, the surface
shall be cleansed, roughed,thoroughly watered and coated with a thin cement mortar, or
dusted with dry cement.

shall be drenched with water immediately before concrete is placed against them. Forms
shall not be removed until the Superintendent of Streets has authorized it and the manner
and order or removal.
(q) Reinforcing rods shall be placed as shown on the plans and in such
manner as to be held firmly in place until embedded in the concrete.
(r) For six days after being placed,the concrete shall be kept moist; it
shall be protected against injury until it has thoroughly set.

mixed with the described proportion of sand and this aggregate shall be composed of
material of siliceous, igneous or granitic character and shall be clean, sound and tough
and free from deleterious materials.
(t) Gravel shall consist of materials which will pass a screen having
circular perforations two and one-half(2 1/2)inches in diameter and be retained on a
screen having circular perforations one-quarter(1/4) inch in diameter. The proportions of
the various sizes of stone in the gravel shall be such as to reduce the percent of voids, in a
measured quantity of gravel,to a minimum. In general a regular gradation in size of stone
will most nearly meet the requirements in this respect.
(u) Sand shall be of such size that all of it will pass a screen having
circular perforations one-quarter(1/4) inch in diameter. It shall be so graded in size of
grains that not more than eighty(80)per cent nor less than fifty(50)per cent will pass a
No. 30 Commercial Sieve, and not more than seven(7)per cent will pass a No. 100
