SUBARTICLE 120- 8 . 1 (Page 167) is deleted and the following substituted : 120-8 . 1 General : Construct embankments in sections of not less than 300 feet in length or for the full length of the embankment. Perform work in accordance with an approved Quality Control Plan meeting the requirements of 105 -3 . For construction of mainline pavement lanes , turn lanes , ramps , parking lots , concrete box culverts and retaining wall systems , a LOT is defined as a single lift of finished embankment not to exceed 500 feet . For construction of shoulder-only areas , bike/shared use paths , and sidewalks areas, a LOT is defined as 2 , 000 feet or one Day ' s Production, whichever is greater. Isolated compaction operations will be considered as separate LOTS . For multiple phase construction, a LOT shall not extend beyond the limits of the phase . SUBARTICLE 120 - 8 . 4 (Pages 169 — 170) is deleted and the following substituted : 120-8 .4 Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Method : 120-8 .4 . 1 General : Use only RAP material : 1 ) stored at facilities with an approved Florida Department of Environmental Protection Stormwater permit ; or, 2) transferred directly from a milling project to the Department project . Certify the source if RAP material is from an identifiable Department project. Do not use RAP material in the following areas : 1 ) Construction areas that are below the seasonal high groundwater table elevation ; 2) MSE Wall backfill ; 3 ) underneath MSE Walls or 4) The top 6 inches of embankment . Prior to placement, submit documentation to the Engineer for his approval , outlining the proposed location of the RAP material. 120-8.4 .2 Soil and RAP Mixture : Place the RAP material at the location and spread uniformly, using approved methods to obtain a maximum layer thickness of 4 inches . Mix this 4 inches maximum layer of RAP with a loose soil layer of 8 to 10 inches thickness . After mixing, meet all Embankment Utilization requirements of Index 505 for the location used. Do not mix RAP in the uppermost 12 inches in order to comply with 120 - 8 . 2 . 1 . The total RAP and other embankment material shall not exceed 12 inches per lift after mixing and compaction if the contractor can demonstrate that the density of the mixture can be achieved . Perform mixing using rotary tillers or other equipment meeting the approval of the Engineer. The Engineer will determine the order in which to spread the two materials . Mix both materials to the full depth . Ensure that the finished layer will have the thickness and shape required by the typical section . Demonstrate the feasibility of this construction method by successfully completing a 500 - foot- long test section . For embankment construction, meet the requirements of 1204 . For compaction requirements of the soil and RAP mixture, meet the requirements of 120 -9 . 120-8 .4 .3 Alternate Soil and RAP Layer Construction : Construct soil in 6 to 12 inch compacted lifts and RAP in alternate layers with 6 inch maximum compacted lifts . Use soil with a minimum LBR value of 40 to prevent failure during compaction of the overlying RAP layer. Demonstrate the feasibility of this construction method by successfully completing a 500- foot- long test section . For compaction requirements of both soil and RAP , meet the requirements of 120- 9 . - 54- FPID ( S ) : 423186 - 1 - 58 - 01
