SECTION 405: DETOUR PAVEMENTS

405.1 DESCRIPTION
This Work consists of the following:
1. Providing and placing surfacing Materials, including Subgrade preparation, Base
Course, prime coat, asphalt Material, tack coat, and OGFC, if required;
2. Maintaining, removing, hauling, and disposing of Detour pavements in an
environmentally-acceptable manner;
3. Hauling and stockpiling salvageable Detour pavements as directed by the Project
Manager.
Unless otherwise noted in the Contract, Detour pavements do not include Detour
Embankments, drainage, and major Structures. Embankment, drainage, and major Structures
will conform to their applicable sections.
405.2 MATERIALS
405.2.1 General
Obtain surfacing Material for the Detour construction from a suitable source in
accordance with Section 106, Control of Materials.
405.2.2 Approval of Pavement Section
The Department based the Detour pavement section in the Contract on the Subgrade
design R-value for the Project. If the Contractor or Department finds that the Subgrade
R-value of the existing material is different from the Subgrade design R-value shown in the
Contract, the Contractor shall use Material with a suitable Subgrade R-value. The Department
will use the Contractor-proposed Subgrade R-value to determine the appropriate new
structural number using the structural coefficients shown in Table 405.2.3:1, Acceptance
Testing Tolerances, and adjust the thickness of the Detour section accordingly. (The
structural number of a pavement layer is the thickness multiplied by the structural coefficient.)
Detour section Material within two (2) ft of the finished Subgrade will meet or exceed the
Subgrade design R-value specified by the State Materials Bureau.
405.2.3 Alternate Pavement Section
Two (2) weeks before constructing the Detour, submit the pavement section proposal to
the Project Manager for approval. The proposal shall include the surfacing thickness and the
types of Materials.
The approved alternate Detour pavement section must have at least the same structural
number specified in the Contract.
Determine the structural number in accordance with the structural coefficients in
Table 405.2.3:1, Acceptance Testing Tolerances.
Table 405.2.3:1
Acceptance Testing Tolerances
Description Structural coefficient
Base Course 0.11
Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) 0.44
Cold-mixed asphalt pavement 0.15
The Contractor may use cold-mixed asphalt pavement in low-traffic areas, with
the District Construction Engineers written approval.
405.3 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
Section 405: Detour Pavements Page 158
405.3.1 General
Construct the Detour pavement in accordance with the following applicable
Specifications:
1. Section 207, Subgrade Preparation;
2. Section 304, Base Course;
3. Section 403, Open Graded Friction Course;
4. Section 407, Tack Coat; and
5. Section 408, Prime Coat.
Detours shall include a final surface of OGFC, if specified in the Contract.
405.3.2 Contractor Testing/Design Requirements
Provide Subgrade R-values for the top two (2) ft of the Detour Subgrade. Use the
Departments procedures to determine the Subgrade R-values from sieve analysis and
Atterberg limits. Obtain referenced documents and manuals from the Department's State
Materials Bureau web site.
405.3.3 Maintenance of Detour Section
Ensure that the maintenance and repair of the Detours do not impact the public. Maintain
safe traffic flow during construction.
If the Project Manager determines that the Detour surfacing is damaged, correct the
problem immediately. If the Project Manager determines that the corrective actions failed,
overlay the Detour with additional HMA at no additional cost to the Department.
If the Contractor does not immediately fix the Detour surfacing as directed by the Project
Manager, the Department will assess liquidated damages in accordance with Section 108,
Prosecution and Progress, for each Day that the Detour remains unacceptable to the Project
Manager.
405.3.4 Removal of Detours
When removing the Detour, dispose of the surfacing material in an environmentally
acceptable manner, or salvage the material as shown in the Contract.
The salvage of the Detour pavement Material includes hauling and stockpiling.
405.4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
The Department will measure the Detour Pavement Construction actually placed and
maintained on the top width and length of the detour if paid by the unit of the Contract Item. If
no Contract Item exists for Detour Pavement Construction, payment will be Incidental to
Section 618, Traffic Control Management and Section 702, Construction Control Devices.

Section 407: Tack Coat Page 160
SECTION 407: TACK COAT
407.1 DESCRIPTION
This Work consists of providing and applying asphalt Material to an existing hot-mix
asphalt or portland cement concrete pavement surface.
407.2 MATERIALS
Use one (1) of the following asphalt Materials types for the tack coat:
1. CSS-1, CSS-1H, or SS-1, or SS-1H emulsified asphalt;
2. Performance-graded asphalt binder; or
3. Project Manager approved selection from the Departments Approved Products List.
Provide the asphalt Materials in accordance with Section 402, Asphalt Materials,
Hydrated Lime, and Anhydrite Based Material.
407.3 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
The Project Manager will determine the tack coat application rate.
407.3.1 Temperature and Weather Limitations
Do not apply tack coat on a wet surface. Do not apply emulsified asphalt when the air
temperature is below the manufacturers recommended application temperature.
407.3.2 Equipment
The Equipment shall include an asphalt distributor and Equipment for heating asphalt
Material. Provide Equipment that is in accordance with Section 408, Prime Coat.
407.3.3 Preparation of Surface
The surfaces and edges to be tack coated shall be dry, patched, cleaned, and free of dirt,
surface moisture, vegetation and other Deleterious Materials or irregularities.
407.3.4 Application of Asphalt Material
Uniformly apply asphalt Material with a pressure distributor at a rate determined by the
Project Manager (to provide a residual asphalt cement content of from 0.04 gal per square
yard to 0.08 gal per square yard). Ensure that the nozzles on the pressure distributor are fully
open and at the same angle from the spray bar, approximately 30. Keep the spray bar at a
height above the pavement surface to provide for a double or triple lap of the applied asphalt
Material. Keep traffic off of the tack coat, unless otherwise approved by the Project Manager.
If the Roadway being paved is closed to traffic, the Contractor may place tack coat a
maximum of 24 h ahead of the laydown operation. If the Roadway being paved is open to
traffic, place the tack coat only over the area that can be paved during that Days laydown
operation. If the Contractor uses an emulsified asphalt tack coat, the Contractor may begin
paving operations after the emulsified asphalt is cured. Reapplication of tack coat damaged by
traffic or construction Equipment will be at no cost to the Department.
407.4 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
The Department will consider any water added to further dilute emulsified asphalts
Incidental to Asphalt Material for Tack Coat and no separate payment will be made.
