A) The prime coat shall be a rapid curing liquid cut back asphalt equal or equivalent to RC-70 or RC-250 at the Contractor' s option , and conforming to Sections 300 and 916-2 of the 1986 Edition of the Florida D . O . T. Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction , B) The surface of the base material shall be cleaned after final compaction and the moisture content of the base shall not exceed 90 percent of the optimum moisture before the prime coat is applied . The prime coat shall be applied uniformly with a pressure distributor. The entire length of the spray bar shall be set at the height above the surface recommended , by the Manufacturer for even distribution . The prime coat shall be applied to the finished base course at the rate of 0 . 15 gallons per square yard at a temperature between 100° F . to 150° F . The prime coat shall be applied such that a period of no longer than two (2) hours lapse prior to application of the asphaltic concrete wearing course , unless the prime coat is covered with sand or screenings as outlined in Section 300-6 . 5 of the 1986 Edition of the Florida D .
