description. If necessary, <br />AASHTO T 99, Method C. <br />test an additional sample for acceptance in accordance with <br />120-9.2 Maximum Density Determination: Determine the maximum <br />density and optimum moisture content by sampling and testing the material in accordance <br />with the specified test method listed in 120-9.3. <br />120-9.3 Density Testing Requirements: Ensure compliance with the <br />requirements of 120-9.5 by Nuclear Density testing in accordance with FDOT Florida Method <br />FM 1-T 238. Determine the in-place moisture content for each density test. Use Florida <br />Method FM 1-T 238, FM 5-507 (Determination of Moisture Content by Means of a Calcium <br />Carbide Gas Pressure Moisture Tester), or ASTM D 4643 (Laboratory Determination of <br />Moisture Content of Granular Soils By Use of a Microwave Oven) for moisture determination. <br />120-9.4 Soil Classification: Perform soil classification tests in <br />accordance with AASHTO T-88. Classify soils in accordance with AASHTO M-145 in order to <br />determine compliance with embankment utilization requirements. <br />120-9.5 Acceptance Criteria: Obtain a minimum density in accordance <br />with 120-7.2 with the following exceptions: <br />1) embankment constructed by the hydraulic method as specified in 120-6.3; <br />20-6.2.4; 2) material placed outside the standard minimum slope as specified in <br />1 <br />3) other areas specifically excluded herein. <br />120-9.6 Frequency: Conduct sampling and testing at a minimum <br />frequency listed in the table below. <br />Test Name <br />1204 <br />Fre uenc <br />Maximum Density <br />One per soil type <br />Density <br />1 per 500' RDWY Alt Lift <br />Soil Classification <br />One per Maximum Density <br />0 Maintenance and Protection of Work. <br />While construction is in progress, maintain adequate drainage for the roadbed at all <br />times. Maintain a shoulder at least 3 feet wide adjacent to all pavement or base construction <br />in order to provide support for the edges. <br />Maintain and protect all earthwork construction throughout the life of the Contract, and <br />take all reasonable precautions to prevent loss of material from the roadway due to the action <br />of wind or water. Repair any slides, washouts, settlement, subsidence, or other mishap which <br />may occur prior to final acceptance of the work. Maintain all channels excavated as a part of <br />the Contract work against natural shoaling or other encroachments to the lines, grades, and <br />cross-sections shown in the plans, until final acceptance of the project. <br />120-11 Construction, <br />120-11.1 Construction Tolerances: Shape the surface of the earthwork <br />to conform to the lines, grades, and cross-sections shown in the plans. In final shaping of the <br />surface of earthwork, maintain a tolerance of 0.3 foot above or below the plan cross-section <br />with the following exceptions: <br />1. Shape the surface of shoulders to within 0.1 foot of the plan cross-section. <br />tc. 2. Shape the earthwork to match adjacent pavement, curb, sidewalk, structures, <br />e <br />3. Shape the bott <br />om of ditches so that the ditch impounds no water. <br />01025-29 <br />Technical Specifications <br />F:\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1024-17thStreet and IR Blvd IntersectionWdmim\Contract Documents\Technical <br />Specifications.doc <br />
