NOTE: FAILURE TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS ADDENDUM ON THE BID FORM
DOES NOT AFFECT THE BIDDER’S OBLIGATION FOR COMPLIANCE.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: At location V8, should we be including a new access control enclosure? From what
we see, the alternative would be roughly 200’ of cable running back to P11.
Answer: A new access control enclosure is included at vehicle gate V8. The schedule of work
on sheet E52 clarifies this, along with note 4 on sheet E62 .
Question: Do you want card readers with or without keypads?
Answer: Keypads will not be included; card readers only.
Question: All gates scope MS cams. Can you provide further details here? (i.e., 2 -sensor? 4-
sensor?) What are we hoping to accomplish with these cameras?
Answer: These cameras must be Avigilon 20C-H5A-4MH-30, 4-sensors with a 360-degree
view. At the pedestrian gates, the camera monitors the person who is accessing the gate and
the gate surroundings. At the vehicle gates, the camera monitors the gate, piggy backing, and
the gate surroundings.

If the spreading and finishing equipment in use leaves tracks or indented areas, or produces
other blemishes in the pavement that are not satisfactorily corrected by the scheduled
operations, the use of such equipment shall be discontinued.
The paver shall be capable of paving to a minimum width specified in paragraph 40 3-4.11.
403-4.6 Rollers. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the
asphalt to the required density while it is still in a workable condition without crushing of the
aggregate, depressions or other damage to the pavement surface. Rollers shall be in good
condition, capable of operating at slow speeds to avoid displacement of the asphalt. All rollers
shall be specifically designed and suitable for compacting asphalt concrete and shall be
properly used. Rollers that impair the stability of any layer of a pavement structure or underly ing
soils shall not be used.
403-4.6.1 Density Device. The Contractor shall have on site a density gauge during all paving
operations in order to assist in the determination of the optimum rolling pattern, type of roller
and frequencies, as well as to monitor the effect of the rolling operations during produc tion
paving. The Contractor shall also supply a qualified technician during all paving operations to
calibrate the density gauge and obtain accurate density readings for all new asphalt. These
densities shall be supplied to the RPR upon request at any time during construction. No
separate payment will be made for supplying the density gauge and technician.
403-4.7 Preparation of Asphalt Binder. The asphalt binder shall be heated in a manner that
will avoid local overheating and provide a continuous supply of the asphalt material to the mixer
at a uniform temperature. The temperature of the unmodified asphalt binder delivered to the
mixer shall be sufficient to provide a suitable viscosity for adequate coating of the aggregate
particles, but shall not exceed 325°F when added to the aggregate. The temperature of modified
asphalt binder shall be no more than 350 °F when added to the aggregate.
403-4.8 Preparation of Mineral Aggregate. The aggregate for the asphalt shall be heated and
dried. The maximum temperature and rate of heating shall be such that no damage occurs to
the aggregates. The temperature of the aggregate and mineral filler shall not exceed 350°F
(175°C) when the asphalt binder is added. Particular care shall be taken that aggregates high in
calcium or magnesium content are not damaged by overheating. The temperature shall not be
lower than is required to obtain complete coating and uniform distribution on the aggregate
particles and to provide a mixture of satisfactory workability.
403-4.9 Preparation of Asphalt Mixture. The aggregates and the asphalt binder shall be
weighed or metered and introduced into the mixer in the amount specified by the JMF. The
combined materials shall be mixed until the aggregate obtains a uniform coating of asphalt
binder and is thoroughly distributed throughout the mixture. Wet mixing time shall be the
shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture, but not less than 25 seconds for batch
plants. The wet mixing time for all plants shall be establis hed by the Contractor, based on the
procedure for determining the percentage of coated particles described in ASTM D2489, for
each individual plant and for each type of aggregate used. The wet mixing time will be set to
achieve 95% of coated particles. For continuous mix plants, the minimum mixing time shall be
determined by dividing the weight of its contents at operating level by the weight of the mixture
delivered per second by the mixer. The moisture content of all asphalt upon discharge shall not
exceed 0.5%.

Airport Gate & Perimeter Security Upgrades P-403 – 9 (Add. 1) Technical Specifications
403-4.10 Application of Prime and Tack Coat. Immediately before placing the asphalt
mixture, the underlying course shall be cleaned of all dust and debris.
A prime coat in accordance with Item P -602 shall be applied to aggregate base prior to placing
the asphalt mixture.
A tack coat shall be applied in accordance with Item P -603 to all vertical and horizontal asphalt
and concrete surfaces prior to placement of the first and each subsequent lift of asphalt mixture.
403-4.11 Laydown Plan, Transporting, Placing, and Finishing. Prior to the placement of the
asphalt, the Contractor shall prepare a laydown plan with the sequence of paving lanes and
width to minimize the number of cold joints; the location of any temporary ramps; laydown
temperature; and estimated time of completion for each portion of the work (milling, paving,
rolling, cooling, etc.). The laydown plan and any modifications shall be approved by the RPR.
Deliveries shall be scheduled so that placing and compacting of asphalt is uniform with
minimum stopping and starting of the paver. Hauling over freshly placed material shall not be
permitted until the material has been compacted, as specified, and allowed to cool to
approximately ambient temperature. The Contractor, at their expense, shall be responsible for
repair of any damage to the pavement caused by hauling operations.
Contractor shall survey each lift of asphalt surface course and certify to RPR that every lot of
each lift meets the grade tolerances of paragraph 403-6.2e before the next lift can be placed.
Edges of existing asphalt pavement abutting the new work shall be saw cut and the cut off
material and laitance removed. Apply a tack coat in accordance with P-603 before new asphalt
material is placed against it.
The speed of the paver shall be regulated to eliminate pulling and tearing of the asphalt mat.
Placement of the asphalt mix shall begin along the centerline of a crowned section or on the
high side of areas with a one way slope unless shown otherwise on th e laydown plan as
accepted by the RPR. The asphalt mix shall be placed in consecutive adjacent lanes having a
minimum width of 12 feet except where edge lanes require less width to complete the area.
Additional screed sections attached to widen the paver to meet the minimum lane width
requirements must include additional auger sections to move the asphalt mixture uniformly
along the screed extension.
The longitudinal joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal joint in the course immediately
below by at least 1 foot; however, the joint in the surface top course shall be at the centerline of
crowned pavements. Transverse joints in one course shall be offset by at least 10 feet from
transverse joints in the previous course. Transverse joints in adjacent lanes shall be offset a
minimum of 10 feet. On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of
mechanical spreading and finishin g equipment impractical, the asphalt may be spread and luted
by hand tools.
The RPR may at any time, reject any batch of asphalt, on the truck or placed in the mat, which
is rendered unfit for use due to contamination, segregation, incomplete coating of aggregate, or
overheated asphalt mixture. Such rejection may be based on only visual inspection or
temperature measurements. In the event of such rejection, the Contractor may take a
representative sample of the rejected material in the presence of the RPR, and if it can be

paver and a minimum of 10 feet long.
403-4.12 Compaction of Asphalt Mixture. After placing, the asphalt mixture shall be
thoroughly and uniformly compacted by self -propelled rollers. The surface shall be compacted
as soon as possible when the asphalt has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not
cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the
type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at
all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in
compaction. Any surface defects and/or displacement occurring as a result of the roller, or from
any other cause, shall be corrected at the Contractor’s expense.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue until
the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross -section, and the required field density
is obtained. To prevent adhesion of the asphalt to the roller, the wheels shall be equipped with a
scraper and kept moistened with water as necessary.
In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with approved
power tampers.
Any asphalt that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check -cracking, or in any
way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and immediately compacted
to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall be done at the Contractor’s expense. Skin
patching shall not be allowed.
403-4.13 Joints. The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to ensure a
continuous bond between the courses and obtain the required density. All joints shall have the
same texture as other sections of the course and meet the requirements for smoothness a nd
grade.
The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid asphalt except when
necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint, it shall be
made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course. The taper ed edge shall be cut
back to its full depth and width on a straight line to expose a vertical face prior to placing the
adjacent lane. In both methods, all contact surfaces shall be coated with an asphalt tack coat
before placing any fresh asphalt against the joint.
Longitudinal joints which have been left exposed for more than four (4) hours; the surface
temperature has cooled to less than 175°F; or are irregular, damaged, uncompacted or
otherwise defective shall be cut back with a cutting wheel or pavement saw a maximum of 3
inches to expose a clean, sound, uniform vertical surface for the full depth of the course. All
cutback material and any laitance produced from cutting joints shall be removed from the
project. An asphalt tack coat or other product approved by th e RPR shall be applied to the

g. Smoothness for Contractor Quality Control.
The Contractor shall perform smoothness testing in transverse and longitudinal directions
daily to verify that the construction processes are producing pavement with variances less than
¼ inch in 12 feet, identifying areas that may pond water which could l ead to hydroplaning of
aircraft. If the smoothness criteria is not met, appropriate changes and corrections to the
construction process shall be made by the Contractor before construction continues
The Contractor may use a 12-foot straightedge, a rolling inclinometer meeting the
requirements of ASTM E2133 or rolling external reference device that can simulate a 12 -foot
straightedge approved by the RPR. Straight-edge testing shall start with one-half the length of
the straightedge at the edge of pavement section being tested and then moved ahead one -half
the length of the straightedge for each successive measurement. Testing shall be continuous
across all joints. The surface irregularity shall be determined by placing the freestanding
(unleveled) straightedge on the pavement surface and allowing it to rest upon the two highest
spots covered by its length and measuring the maximum gap between the straightedge and the
pavement surface in the area between the two high points. If the rolling inclinometer or external
reference device is used, the data may be evaluated using the FAA profile program, ProFAA,
using the 12-foot straightedge simulation function.
Smoothness readings shall not be made across grade changes or cross slope transitions.
The transition between new and existing pavement and between the start and stop of lanes
place shall be evaluated separately for conformance with the plans.
(1) Transverse Measurements. Transverse measurements shall be taken for each
day’s production placed. Transverse measurements will be taken perpendicular to the pavement
centerline each 50 feet or more often as determined by the RPR. The joint between lanes shall
be tested separately to facilitate smoothness between lanes.
(2) Longitudinal Measurements. Longitudinal measurements shall be taken for each
day’s production placed. Longitudinal tests will be parallel to the centerline of paving; at the
center of paving lanes when widths of paving lanes are less than 20 feet; and at the third points
of paving lanes when widths of paving lanes are 20 ft or greater. When placement abuts
previously placed material the first measurement shall start with one half the length of the
straight edge on the previously placed material.
Control charts shall be kept to show area of each day’s placement and the percentage of
corrective grinding required. Corrections to production and placement shall be initiated when
corrective grinding is required. If the Contractor’s machines and/or methods produce significant
areas that need corrective actions in excess of 10 percent of a day’s production, production
shall be stopped until corrective measures are implemented by the Contractor.
h. Grade. Grade shall be evaluated daily to allow adjustments to paving operations when
grade measurements do not meet specifications. As a minimum, grade shall be evaluated prior
to the placement of the first lift and then prior to and after placement of the surface lift.
Measurements will be taken at appropriate gradelines (as a minimum at center and edges of
paving lane) and longitudinal spacing as shown on cross -sections and plans. The final surface
of the pavement will not vary from the gradeline elevations and cross -sections shown on the
plans by more than 1/2 inch vertically and 0.1 feet laterally. The documentation will be provided
by the Contractor to the RPR within 24 hours.
Areas with humps or depressions that exceed grade or smoothness criteria and that retain
water on the surface must be ground off provided the course thickness after grinding is not more
than 1/2 inch less than the thickness specified on the plans. Grinding shall be in accordance

accordance with ASTM D5361. The Contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, and materials for
cleaning, and filling the cored pavement. Laitance produced by the coring operation shall be
removed immediately after coring, and core holes shall be filled within one day after sampling in
a manner acceptable to the RPR.
(2) Bond. Each lift of asphalt shall be bonded to the underlying layer. If cores reveal that
the surface is not bonded, additional cores shall be taken as directed by the RPR to determine
the extent of unbonded areas. Unbonded areas shall be removed by milling and replaced at no
additional cost as directed by the RPR.
(3) Thickness. Thickness of each lift of surface course will be evaluated by the RPR for
compliance to the requirements shown on the plans after any necessary corrections for grade.
Measurements of thickness will be made using the cores extracted for each sublot for dens ity
measurement. The maximum allowable deficiency at any point will not be more than 1/4 inch
less than the thickness indicated for the lift. Average thickness of lift, or combined lifts, will not
be less than the indicated thickness. Where the thickness tolerances are not met, the lot or
sublot shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense by removing the deficient area and
replacing with new pavement. The Contractor, at his expense, may take additional cores as
approved by the RPR to circumscribe the deficient area.
(4) Mat Density. One core shall be taken from each sublot. Core locations will be
determined by the RPR in accordance with ASTM D3665. Cores for mat density shall not be
taken closer than one foot from a transverse or longitudinal joint. The bulk specific gravity of

compaction (density) of each sample will be determined by dividing the bulk specific gravity of
each sublot sample by the TMD for that sublot.
(5) Joint Density. One core centered over the longitudinal joint shall be taken for each
sublot which contains a longitudinal joint. Core locations will be determined by the RPR in
accordance with ASTM D3665. The bulk specific gravity of each core sample will be determined
in accordance with ASTM D2726. The percent compaction (density) of each sample will be
determined by dividing the bulk specific gravity of each joint density sample by the average
TMD for the lot. The TMD used to determine the joint densi ty at joints formed between lots will
be the lower of the average TMD values from the adjacent lots.
403-6.2 Acceptance Criteria.
a. General. Acceptance will be based on nuclear gauge testing of mat density and joint
