spec if ications : is
(a) General
(a.l) Purpose: If at any time it is determined poor workmanship or construction`
a
is being done following the concise specifications of this regulation, it is the right of they
engineer to require the contractor to conform to the complete regulations as specified in the ?I
current FSRD standard specifications for road and bridge construction.
(a.2) Definitions:
Approval - Direct approval either by the Board of County Commissioners or
'i
the County Engineer.
Engineer - County Engineer, or approved professional engineer for the project.
(a.3) Supervision:
An approved engineering firm or professional engineer must control and
supervise construction.of all paved streets at the expense of the owner. Each stage of con-
struction as subgrade, base, seal and surface, shall receive approval.

(a.4) Base Width:
All bases shall be one foot wider than the final pavement width with the.
exception of a marl base which is to be two foot wider than the final pavement width.
(a.5) Pavement width:
The minimum pavement width shall be 18;feet. Split pavements for a boulevard
type street shall have a minimum width of 11 feet. Pavements with curbs shall have a minimum
width of 20 feet.
(a.6) In instances where the property owners of an existing recorded subdivision
wish to pave their streets, it shall be at their own expense and no funds are to be contri-
buted by the County. However, in instances where there are more than two streets involved,
the County Engineer will take off the actual centerline distance of the streets, and propor-
tion an equivalent footage for each property owner. This is to eliminate the discrimination
which would be placed on a corner lot owner, and more equally distribute the costs. The --
property owners shall contact for bids for the paving and the work shall completely comply
with all county regulations as to drainage and paving specifications. Where culverts must
be placed under cross streets, the County will furnish them.
b. Types of Pavement
(b.l) A six inch thick compacted sub -grade, a six inch thick lime rock compacted
base, a seal coat, and a sand seal wearing surface.
(b.2) A six inch thick compacted sub -grade, a six inch thick compacted soil cement
base, a seal coat, and a sand seal wearing surface.
(b.3) A six inch thick compacted sub -grade, a six inch thick compacted mixed in
place base, a seal coat, and a sand seal wearing surface.
(b.4) A six inch thick compacted sub -grade, a six inch thick compacted marl base,
a seal coat, and a one and one-half inch thick asphaltic concrete wearing surface. This type
of pavement is limited to areas of satisfactory drainage and land elevation. Specific approv
for the area must be obtained.
(b.5) A road way which may be a partial combination of two of the above mentioned
pavements, however, only upon specific approval.
(b.6) The pavements stipulated in Articles &.1, s..2 and a.3 may have an alternate
wearing surface of one inch asphaltic concrete or a double surface treatment.
c. Sub -Grade
(c.l) The road bed shall be excavated and shaped in conformity with a typical sect
shown on the plan and to the lines and grade established by the engineer. All unstable or
otherwise objectionable material shall be removed from the sub -grade and replaced with approvec
material. All holes, ruts and depressions shall be filled with approved material, and, if
required, the sub -grade shall be thoroughly wetted with water and reshaped and rolled to the
extent directed in order to place the sub -grade in an acceptable condition to receive the
base material. The surface of the sub -grade shall be finished to line and grade as establishec
and be in conformity with the typical section shown on plans. The stability of the sub -grade
shall be such as to support construction and equipment without rutting, and/or shall be com-
pacted to a;. -density of not less than 95% of the maximum density as determined by the A.A.S.H.
0. Method T99 at optimum moisture, or other approved methods.
(c.2) The sub -grade width shall be two feet wider than the base course with the ex-
ception that the sub -grade width shall be such as to include the curb and gutter sections when,
they are to be constructed. Approval of sub -grade shall be obtained before the base course
is begun.
d. Base Course
(d.l) Lime Rock Base.
The material used shall conform with the requirements specified in a Florida 1
i
State Road Department standard specifications for Road and Bridge construction under Section
503 approved and adopted April 1, 1954, subject to supplements and new publications as issued
approved and adopted by the State Road Department.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on
t
the project, in first class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineerI
before construction is started.
No forms shall be required unless specified.
The lime rock shall be transported and dumped by approved methods.
;i
The lime rock shall be spread uniformly with equipment approved by the enginee.
d
All segregated areas of lime or coarse rock shall be removed and replaced with well -graded
rock. After spreading is completed the entire surface shall be scarified and shaped so'.as
to produce the exact grade and cross-section after compaction. When the material does not have,
the proper moisture content to insure the required density, wetting or drying will be re-
;,i
quired. As soon as proper conditions of moisture are attained the material shall be compacted!]
to the satisfaction of the engineer and/or to an average density of at least 95% of the
maximum density obtainable A.A.S.H.O. Method T99, at optimum moisture, or other approved
methods.
Unless otherwise directed by the engineer, the surface shall be 11hard-planed"r!

with a blade grader immediately prior to the application of the prime coat, to remove the thin
glazed or cemented surface of the base. If at any time the sub -grade material should become
mixed with the base -course material, the contractor shall, without additional compensation,
dig out and remove the mixture, reshape and compact the sub -grade and replace.the materials
removed with clean base material, which shall be shaped and compacted as specified above. a
�i
If cracks or checks appear in the base, either before or after priming, which, in the opinion p
of the engineer, would impair the structural efficiency of the base course, the contractor
shall remove such cracks or checks by rescarifying, reshaping, adding base material where
necessary and recompacting.
Thickness determination shall be made as directed by the engineer.
0.2) Soil Cement Base
The materials used shall conform with the requirements specified in the Florida
State Road Department Standard Specifications for --.Road and Bridge Construction. That is, pori-
land
or -land cement, Type 1, water which shall be clean and practically free of oil, acid, alkali,

cloride, organic matter, or other deleterious substances, and the soil for this base course
shall consist of the natural material in the roadway or selected soil placed in the roadbed.
Portland cement shall be applied in the amount determined by tests run by the engineer for
the particular soil to be used. No processing of the base shall be started until all -tests
of the soil to be used have been completed and the exact quantity of cement required for the
particular soil has been determined. The quantity of water required shall be the amount
necessary for optimum moisture content in the compacted mixture. The hand squeeze procedure
for determining moisture content may be used.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on the
project in first class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineer before
construction is started. Unless otherwise approved a Seaman Mixer or a P&H Pulvi Mixer shall
be used to mix the material in place and a sheep's foot roller shall be used for compaction.
No forms will be required unless specified.
Before undertaking this work the sub -grade shall have been shaped and compacted as
specified in Section X -3(c). Prior to the application of cement the soil to be treated shall
be pulverized for sufficient width and depth to give the compacted cross section shown on the
plans. All roots and other foreign matter whall be removed.
After the soil aggregate is shaped to the approximate cross sections as shown on
the plan the specified quantity of portland cement required shall be distributed uniformly
over the surface. No cement shall be applied where the moisture content of the soil immediate
beneath the pulverized material exceeds the moisture content specified by the engineer. No
cement shall be applied during periods of high winds which make occasional loss of cement.
Immediately after the cement has been distributed it shall be mixed with the loose soil for
the full depth of treatment. Mixing shall be continued and repeated as often as necessary,
as determined by the engineer, to insure a thorough uniform and intimate mix of the soil and
cement and until the resulting mixture is homogeneous and uniform in appearance. The mixture
shall then be shaped to the approximate lines and grades shown on the plans. Only that amount
of roadway which can be completed within the working day is to be mixed with cement. Imme-
diately after mixing of soil and cement is complete the moisture content of the soil cement
mixture.'shall be determined by the engineer and if required water shall be applied in such
quantity and at such rate as directed by the engineer until the proper moisture content is
obtained. 'he Base shall then be uniformly compacted with sheep's foot rollers until the feet
of the roller walk out to within la inches of the surface. After the mixture is compacted, the
surface of the base shall be reshaped to the required lines, grades and cross section. The
surface shall then be thoroughly rolled with a neumatic tired roller exerting a compression
of not less than 200 pounds per inch width of each tire both front and rear, followed by a
motor grader, and then the smooth wheel tandem roller weighing from 5 to 8 tons. Rolling shall
continue until all rutting ceases and until the entire base conforms to the density require -
meets specified by the engineer.
A wooden header cut to proper crown shall be placed perpendicular to the sub -grade
and at right angles to the center line at the end of each day's run. Extreme care must be
l
exercised to overcome any tendency for the base in the vicinity of a junction between runs to
I
fail to be full thickness and true to grade or to be inadequately compacted, improperly pro-
portioned, inadequately wetted, or incompletely mixed. When any of these operations, after
I
the application of cement, are interrupted for more than two hours for any reason, or when the
uncompacted soil cement mixture is wetted by rain so that the required moisture content is
lost, the entire section shall be reconstructed, except that the quantity of cement to be
B
added to the previously processed soil cement mixture shall be 50% of the amount originally
i�
specified.
No cement shall be applied unless the temperature is at least 40 degrees F. and ris-
ing.
Immediately after compacting and finishing, the completed base shall be covered and
protected against rapid drying either by an approved method of earth curing or by a bituminous
seal coat. Thickness determination shall be made as directed by the County Engineer.
(d.3) Mixed in place base.
This base course shall be composed of a compacted mixture of 60% mineral
aggregate and 40% marl (excluding plastic material) or shell material together with asphaltic
material. The constituents of the mixed in place base shall be combined in such proportions`
that after complete mixing, the resultant mixture shall be homogeneous and all particles
i
coated with bituminous material. The exact quantity of bituminous material shall be determined';,
by the engineer during the operations of applying and mixing and will depend upon the character!,#
and grading of the aggregate material. The proportions shall be varied, as directed by the
engineer, after laboratory tests and field trials are conducted. The quantity of bituminous
material shall be approximately 0.3 to 1.3 gallons per square yard per inch of compacted
thickness. Unless otherwise specified and approved, the bituminous material shall be cut back
asphalt grade RC -1S.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on
the project, in first class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineer
before construction is started. Unless.otherwise approved a Seaman Mixer or a P&H Mixer
shall be used to mix the material in place and a sheep's foot roller., or other approved types
& methods, shall be used for compaction. If in place material is to become a portion of the
base course the amount to be used must be wind rowed and the sub -grade prepared as described
in Section X -3(c). All base course material shall have all roots and foreign matter removed
to the satisfaction of the engineer. After the placing of the base material it shall be
machined with the grader until a uniformity of line and grade has been obtained as determined
by the engineer. No bituminous material shall be applied when the moisture content of the
aggregate material is greater than 5% by weight, unless otherwise specified by the engineer.
No application of bituminous material, mixing, spreading or finishing shall be done when the
air temperature is less than 50 degrees F., or when in the opinion of the engineer the weather
condition or the condition of the aggregate material is unsuitable.
After mixing has been completed the mixture shall be cured until it has reached the
proper consistency to be compacted. The mixture shall first be rolled with the sheep's foot

roller until the feet of the roller walk out to within la inches of the surface. The graders
shall be used in conjunction with the sheep's foot rollers to keep the mixture shaped to
approximate plan and cross-section and also to keep the sheep's foot indentation in the mix -
tune filled so that uniform action will be obtained. After compaction the surface shall then
be shaped to line, grade and cross section allowing sufficient elevation of the mixture to
compensate the final compaction. The mixture shall then be thoroughly rolled with a 8 ton
tandem roller equipped with scrapers and oil sacks on the wheels to prevent picking up the
material. Thickness determination shall be made as directed by the County Engineer.
0.4) Marl Base
The material used shall either be a shell-iparl which in its original state is
either in the loose stage or cemented, or a comparatively soft shell rock. The material shall
be such as will not require crushing. The material shall be free from trash or other foreign
matter. It shall not contain lumps or aggregate in sufficient quantity to prevent securing
a smooth surface free from pits or pockets. When the material is excavated from water it
shall be stock piled and allowed to dry out before being placed. The marl shall be approved
by the engineer for use. No plastic material shall be used.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction for this work shall be
placed on the project, in first class working condition, and shall have been approved by the
engineer before construction is started.
No forms will be required unless specified.
After the sub -grade has been compacted as specified in Section X -3(c), the
base material shall be placed and spread over the sub -grade to such loose thickness as to
insure that the finished base course will have the thickness required by the typical section.
After spreading is completed the entire surface shall be scarified and shaped so as to pro-
duce exact grade and cross section after compaction. When the material does not have the
proper moisture contentto insure the required density, wetting or drying will be required.
As soon as proper conditions of moisture are obtained the material shall be compacted to the
satisfaction of the engineer and/or to an average density of at least 95% of the maximum den-
sity obtainable under A.A.S.H.O. Method T99, at optimum moisture, or other approved methods.
Unless otherwise directed by the engineer, the surface shall be (Hard planed)
with a blade grader immediately prior to the application of the prime coat, to remove the
thin glazed or cemented surface of the base. If at any time the sub -grade material should
become mixed with the base course material, the contractor shall without additional compen-
sation, dig out and remove the mixture, reshape and compact the sub -grade and replace the
materials removed with clean base material, which shall be shaped and compacted as specified
above. If cracks or checks appear in the base, either before or after priming, which, in the
opinion of the engineer, would impair the structural efficiency of the base course, the con-
tractor shall remove such cracks or checks by re -scarifying, reshaping, adding base material
where necessary, and recompacting.
The completed base course shall be open to the traffic for a sufficient period
of time as determined by the engineer, to allow the base to become thoroughly cured before the
prime and/or wearing surface is laid. If at any time during this curing period the base
shall be subjected to rainfall and lose its compaction it shall be rescarified, reshaped and
recompacted.
Thickness determination shall be made as directed by the County Engineer.
a�
Section (e) Surface Cdurses ;
(e.1) Seal Coat.
All base courses as specified in Section X 3(d) shall receive a seal coat.
The seal coat shall be an application of cut-back asphalt grade RC -1S or other material as
specifically approved by the engineer. For lime rock bases the rate of application shall be
!a
not less than 0.10 gallons per square year. For marl, soil cement, and mixed in place basesxxzk
the rate of application shall be not less than 0.15 gallons per square yard. The seal coat G
i,
shall be applied with a pressure distributor equipped withpneumatic tires having a sufficient
width of rubber in contact with the road surface to avoid breaking the bond of or forming a
`9
rut in the surfacing.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on
the project, in first class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineer
i
before the construction is started.
A light uniform application of clean sand shall be applied prior to opening
the primed base to traffic. The sand shall not contain any noticable amount of roots or other
:a
foreign material.
Before any bituminous material is applied all loose material, dust, dirt,
caked clay and foreign material which might prevent proper bond with the existing surface
will be moved to the shoulders for the full width of the application. No bituminous material;;
shall be applied when the temperature of the air is less than 50 degrees F., or when, in the
opinion of the engineer, the weather conditions or the conditions of the existing surface is
unsuitable. The temperature of the prime material shall be between 100 degrees F. and 150
degrees F. The exact temperature shall be such as will ensure uniform distribution and
shall be designated by the engineer. The exact amount to be applied will be dependent on
the character of the surface and will be sufficient to coat the surface thoroughly and uni-
formly without having any excess to form folds or to flow off the base. If deemed necessary,
the engineer may require that the base be lightly sprinkled with water in advance of the
application of the prime.
(e.2) Sand Seal Wearing Surface
This wearing surface is to be composed of asphalt material grade AC -15
applied in one application and covered with sand cover material applied in a single applica-
tion. Such work to be constructed on an existing base with seal coat in accordance with the
specifications and in conformity with the lines, grades and cross section of the proposed
pavement., The proportion shall be approximately 0.30 gallons of asphalt and 0.30 cubic feet
of cover material per square yard. Other bituminous material may be used upon specific
approval. The cover material shall be clean sand. The sand shall be practically free from
clay, silt, sticks, trash, roots, vegetation and other organic matter, and shall be approved
by the engineer before use.

fore construction is started.
Before any bituminous material is applied, all loose material, dust, dirt,
caked clay and foreign material which might prevent proper bond with -the existing surface
will be moved to the shoulders for the full width of the application. No bituminous material
shall be applied when temperature of the air is less than 50 degrees F. or when in the opinion
of the engineer, weather conditions or the condition of the surface is unsuitable. An approx-
imate 2 week curing period for seal coat shall be given before the surface course is applied.
The asphalt shall be applied at a temperature of between 275 degrees and 325 degrees F. The
exact temperature shall be such as will ensure uniform distribution and shall be designated
by the engineer.
Immediately.after spreading and dragging the cover material, the entire sur-
face must be rolled with a 5 ton to 8 ton pneumatic traffic roller. The rolling in all cases
shall begin within 30 minutes after spreading of the material. Rolling shall begin at the
edges and progress to the center of the surface uniformly lapping each preceding track and
covering thoroughly the entire surface.
e.3) Double Bituminous Surface Treatment
This wearing surface to consist of a double application of bituminous material
covered with a double application of cover material, applied on a previously prepared base
with seal coat in accordance with the specifications. The bituminous material shall be
asphalt grade AC -15 or an asphalt material which has had specific approval. The cover maters
shall be State Road Specification Rock Grade II and the.second course cover material shall be
State Road Specification Rock Grade 15, or approved slag material. The first application of
bituminous material shall be from .18 to .25 gallons per square year and a cover material
from .40 to .50 cubic feet per square yard. The second application of bituminous material
shall be from .25 to .35 gallons per square yard and the second application of cover material
to be from .22 to .25 cubic feet per square yard.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on
the project, in forst class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineer
before the construction has started.
The surface to be covered shall be swept clean and free from sand, dirt and
dust and other deletrious material by means of mechanical road sweepers, hand brooms, and
approved mechanical blowers, and shall be free from moisture. The existing seal coat must
have an approximate 2 week curing period before the application of the first bituminous coat.
No bituminous material shall be applied when the temperature of the air is less than 50 degrees
F. or when in the opinion of the engineer, the weather conditions or the condition of the exist
ing surface is unsuitable. The asphalt material grade AC -15 shall be applied at a temperature
of between 275 degrees and 325 degrees F. The exact temperature shall be such as will ensure
uniform distribution and shall be designated by the engineer.
Immediately following the application of bituminous material the cover material"
shall be distributed uniformly over the bituminous surface by means of approved mechanical it
spreaders or trucks. Immediately after each application of cover material, brooming by ex-
perienced and skilled workmen shall be done to secure a uniform distribution which will
t�
ensure a smooth surface, Additional aggregate shall be placed by hand on any areas not pro-
perly covered. Immediately after spreading and dragging the cover material the entire sur-
face shall be rolled with a three ton to five ton steel tired roller. Rolling shall begin
at the adges and progress to the center of the surface, uniformly lapping each preceding track11
and covering thoroughly the entire surface. The rolling shall be repeated as much as nec-
essary to ensure thorough keying of the cover material into the bituminous material.]
r
The second bituminous application and the second application of cover material shall�i
be done in a manner as described above for the first application.
The finished surface shall be uniform and shall conform to the lines, grades and
typical cross sections.
(e.4) Asphaltic Concrete Wearing Surface
This consists of the construction of an asphaltic concrete surface course
composed of a mixture of aggregate, mineral filler and asphalt cement, properly laid upon a
prepared base. The asphaltic concrete shall be in conformance with the Florida State Road
Department Specifications for an asphaltic concrete surface course Type II, unless otherwise
specified below. The thickness will be as specified in Section X -3(b), and it shall be
placed on a compacted base with a seal coat as specified in these regulations. Pavement thick=
ness more than 1/8" deficient shall not be acceptable.
All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on
the project, in fc.rst class working condition, and shall have been approved by the engineer
before construction is started.
Before any bituminous material is applied all loose material, dust, dirt,
caked clay and foreign material which might prevent proper bond with the existing surface]
will be moved to the shoulders for the full width of the application. No bituminous material
shall be applied when the temperature of the air is less than 50 degrees F. or when, in the
s!
opinion of the engineer, the weather conditions or the condition of the existing surface is'I
unsuitable. After proper cleaning a tack coat shall be applied with a pressure distributor. i
The bituminous material shall be heated to a suitable consistency as designated by the eng-
ineer. The bituminous material shall be applied in a thin uniform layer. The rate of
application shall be between 0.04 to 0.08 gallons per square yard'. The exact rate shall be
designated by the engineer. The tack coat shall be applied sufficiently in advance of the lays
ing of the wearing surface to permit drying but shall not be applied so far in advance or
over such an area as to lose its adhesiveness as a result of being covered with dust or other
foreign material. The tack coat may be cut-back asphalt grade RC -1S or other approved material.
The tack coat -ishall be kept free from traffic until the wearing surface is laid. R
