1 . The design traffic level and the design number of gyrations ( Ndesign ) . 2 . The source and description of the materials to be used . 3 . The FDOT source number and the FDOT product code of the aggregate components furnished from an FDOT approved source ( if required ) . 4 . The gradation and proportions of the raw materials as intended to be combined in the paving mixture . The gradation of the component materials shall be representative of the material at the time of use . Compensate for any change in aggregate gradation caused by handling and processing as necessary . 5 . A single percentage of the combined mineral aggregate passing each specified sieve . Degradation of the aggregate due to processing ( particularly material passing the No . 200 sieve ) should be accounted for and identified . 6 . The bulk specific gravity ( Gsb ) value for each individual aggregate and RAP component . 7 . A single percentage of asphalt binder by weight of total mix intended to be incorporated in the completed mixture , shown to the nearest 0 . 1 percent . 8 . A target temperature at which the mixture is to be discharged from the plant and a target roadway temperature . Do not exceed a target temperature of 330 ° F for modified asphalts and 315 ° F for unmodified asphalts . 9 . Provide the physical properties achieved at four different asphalt binder contents . One shall be at the optimum asphalt content , and must conform to all specified physical requirements . 10 . The name of the Mix Designer . 11 . The ignition oven calibration factor . 3344 Contractor Quality Control . Assume full responsibility for controlling all operations and processes such that the requirements of these Specifications are met at all times . Perform any tests necessary at the plant and roadway for quality control purposes . 334- 5 General Construction Requirements . 334-5 . 1 Weather Limitations : Do not transport asphalt mix from the plant to the roadway unless all weather conditions are suitable for the laying operations . 334- 5 . 2 Limitations of Laying Operations : 334 -5 . 2 . 1 General : Spread the mixture only when the surface upon which it is to be placed has been previously prepared , is intact , firm , and properly cured , and is dry . 334 -5 . 2 . 2 Air Temperature : Spread the mixture onlywhen the airtemperature in the shade and away from artificial heat is at least 40° F for layers greater than 1 inch ( 100 Ib/yd2 ) in thickness and at least 45° F for layers 1 inch ( 100 Ib/yd2 ) or less in thickness (this includes leveling courses ) . The minimum temperature requirement for leveling courses with a spread rate of 50 Ib/yd2 or less is 50° F . 334 -5 . 3 Mix Temperature : Heat and combine the ingredients of the mix in such a manner as to produce a mixture with a temperature at the plant and at the roadway , within a range of ± 30 ° F from the target temperature as shown on the mix design . Reject all loads outside of this range . 334 -5 . 4 Transportation of the Mixture : Transport the mixture in vehicles previously cleaned of all foreign material . After cleaning , thinly coat the inside surface of the truck bodies with soapy water or an asphalt release agent as needed to prevent the mixture from adhering to the beds . Do not allow excess liquid to pond in the truck body . Do not use diesel fuel or any 35 Technical Specifications F :\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\0744-8th St-US1 to 6th Ave\Admim\bid documents\0744 CONTRACT DOCUMENTS\Technical Specification s .doc
