? '^ Ca 33042 .4 Pavement Smoothness : Construct a smooth pavement meeting the requirements of this Specification . 33042 .4 . 1 General : Furnish a 15 foot manual and a 15 foot rolling straightedge meeting the requirements of FM 5 - 509 . Obtain a smooth surface on all pavement courses placed, and then straightedge all layers as required by this specification . 33042 .4 .2 Test Method : Perform all straightedge testing in accordance with FM 5 - 509 in the outside wheel path of each lane . The Engineer, or these specifications , may require additional testing at other locations within the lane . 33042 .4 .3 Traffic Control : Provide traffic control in accordance with Section 102 and the Design Standards Index Nos . 607 or 619 during all testing. When traffic control cannot be provided in accordance with Index Nos . 607 or 619 , submit an alternative Traffic Control Plan as specified in 1024 . Include the cost of this traffic control in the Contract bid prices for the asphalt items . 33042 .4 .4 Process Control Testing : Assume full responsibility for controlling all paving operations and processes such that the requirements of these Specifications are met at all times . Address in the QC Plan the methods to be used to control smoothness . 33042 .4 .5 Quality Control Testing : 33042 .4 .5. 1 General : Straightedge the final Type SP structural layer and friction course layer in accordance with 33042 . 4 . 2 , regardless of whether the method of acceptance is by straightedge or laser profiler. Test all pavement lanes and ramps where the width is constant and document all deficiencies in excess of 3 / 16 inch on a form approved by the Engineer. 33042 .4 . 5.2 Straightedge Exceptions : Straightedge testing will not be required in the following areas : shoulders , intersections , tapers , crossovers , parking lots and similar areas , or in the following areas when they are less than 250 feet in length : turn lanes , acceleration/deceleration lanes and side streets . As an exception, in the event the Engineer identifies a surface irregularity in the above areas that is determined to be objectionable, straightedge and address all deficiencies in excess of 3 /8 inch in accordance with 33042 . 5 . The Engineer may waive straightedge requirements for transverse joints at the beginning and end of the project, at the beginning and end of bridge structures, at manholes , and at utility structures if the deficiencies are caused by factors beyond the control of the Contractor, as determined by the Engineer. In addition, the Engineer may also waive the straightedging requirements on ramps and superelevated sections where the geometrical orientation of the pavement results in an inaccurate measurement with the rolling straightedge . 33042 .4 . 5 .3 Intermediate Layers and Temporary Pavement : When the design speed is 55 mph or greater and the intermediate Type SP layer or temporary pavement is to be opened to traffic , if the Engineer identifies a surface irregularity that is determined to be objectionable, straightedge and address all deficiencies in excess of 3 /8 inch within 72 hours of placement in accordance with 330- 12 . 5 . 33042 .4 . 5 .4 Final Type SP Structural Layer : Straightedge the final Type SP structural layer in accordance with 330 - 12 . 4 . 2 , either behind the final roller of the paving train or as a separate operation . Notify the Engineer of the location and time of straightedge testing a minimum of 48 hours before beginning testing . The Engineer will verify the straightedge testing by observing the Quality Control straight edging operations . Address all deficiencies in excess of 3 / 16 inch in accordance with 330 - 12 . 5 . - 78 - FPID ( S ) : 423186 - 1 - 58 - 01
