5. SCOPE:
The National Park Service (NPS), Obed Wild and Scenic River will be contracting the 32,308 square feet
micro-surface overlay for Jett Parking and Lilly Bridge Parking Areas. Painting and striping of all
parking and lane surfaces are to be included in the project.
6. TASK:
General Specifications
The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, material, supplies, signage, traffic control, and
other incidentals necessary to provide 1 to 1.5 inch Micro Surfacing at the Jett Parking and Lilly
Bridge Parking Areas.
Micro Surfacing shall consist of a mixture of an approved polymer-modified emulsified asphalt,
mineral aggregate, water, and specified additives, proportioned, mixed and uniformly spread
over a properly prepared asphalt surface.
3
A tac coat primer shall be used to adhere the new asphalt to existing asphalt. A butt joint shall
keep all areas level where the new asphalt meets the other surfaces. “Tapering down” the new
asphalt to less than 1 inch thick to meet the existing asphalt will not be acceptable. The
completed Micro Surfacing shall leave a homogeneous mat, adhere firmly to the prepared
surface, and have a skid-resistant surface texture throughout its service life.
Aggregate: The aggregate shall consist of manufactured granite crusher fines. The smooth
textured crusher fines shall have less than 1.25% water absorption. The aggregate shall be gray
in color and clean and free from organic matter, other deleterious substances and clay balls.
Oversized granular material and/or presence of clay balls will require the project to be stopped
and shall meet the following requirements. The aggregate shall be spread uniformly.
Areas receiving Micro Surfacing will be allowed to cure from one to three hours or
until the treated pavement will not be damaged by traffic. The Contractor will protect the area
with suitable barricades or markers for the full curing period. Areas which are damaged
within 24 hours of application of Micro Surfacing, or prior to moving to new work locations,
shall be repaired by the Contractor at their expense.
Surface Preparation: Immediately prior to applying the Micro Surfacing, the surface shall be
cleared of all loose material, oil spots, vegetation and other objectionable material. Any standard
cleaning method will be acceptable. If water is used, cracks shall be allowed to dry thoroughly
before Micro Surfacing. Manholes, valve boxes, drop inlets and other service entrances shall be
protected from the Micro Surfacing by a suitable method. The Project Manager shall approve the
surface preparation prior to surfacing.
Weather Limitations: Micro surfacing shall not be applied if either the pavement or air
temperature is below 50°F (10°C) and falling, but may be applied when both pavement and air
temperatures are above 45°F (7°C) and rising. No Micro Surfacing shall be applied when there is
the possibility of freezing temperatures at the project location within 24 hours after application.
The Micro Surfacing shall not be applied when weather conditions prolong opening to traffic
beyond a reasonable time.
Traffic Control: Suitable methods shall be used by the contractor to protect the Micro
Surfacing from damage from all types of vehicular traffic. Opening to traffic does not constitute
acceptance of the work. The Project Manager shall be notified of the methods to be used. In
areas that are subject to an increased rate of sharp-turning vehicles, additional time may be
required for a more complete cure of the Micro Surfacing mat to prevent damage. Slight tire
marks may be evident in these areas after opening but will diminish over time with rolling
traffic. If these areas are not severely rutted, they should be considered as normal characteristics
of a Micro Surfacing.
Clean Up: All areas, such as man-ways, gutters and intersections, shall have the Micro
Surfacing removed as specified by the Project Manager. The Contractor shall remove any debris
associated with the performance of the work on a daily basis.
