6 PART 3 EXECUTION 3.01 INSTALLATION OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVING FOR PEDESTRIAN PAVING AND BASKETBALL COURTS: A. Installation procedures for bituminous concrete pavements shall comply with Standard Specifications, Section 420. B. Installation of bituminous concrete paving shall be as shown on the Drawings and specified herein. C. Align bituminous concrete walks and patches as shown on the Drawings. 1. Obtain landscape architect's approval layout of all walks before work is done. Make adjustments as required in the layout to ensure smooth continuous curves and straight lines and transitions. D. Subgrade preparation and installation of Gravel Base Course shall be found in SECTION EARTHWORK, of these specifications. E. Make any corrections necessary to subbase course (minor cuts and fills) furnished and installed under SECTION EARTHWORK, to bring to the sections and elevations shown on the Drawings. F. Remove loose material from compacted gravel base surface immediately before installing bituminous concrete. Proof roll prepared gravel base surface to check for unstable areas requiring additional compaction. Do not begin paving work until deficient gravel base areas have been properly compacted as specified. G. Construct Bituminous Concrete Paving in accordance with the Standard Specifications Sections 420 and 460. H. No bituminous material shall be applied when the temperature is below 32 F. I. No vehicular traffic of any kind shall be allowed to pass over the newly finished surface until it has had time to set. Twenty-four hours will be considered sufficient time for the pavement to set in most cases, but this period may be extended by the Engineer as required by weather or other reasons. J. The Contractor shall ensure that positive drainage occurs on all walks, patches and court surfaces. All areas of finished paving on which water stands or which are found excessively uneven shall be promptly brought to the correct grade and line. There shall be no deviation from true surface planes represented by the grade elevations shown on the Drawings

7 K. Pavement Edges: The Contractor shall construct a neat tamped edge as shown on the Drawings at all proposed pavement edges not abutting vertical faces of adjacent structures or pavements. New paving shall be well blended into adjoining existing paving and thoroughly rolled to present continuous uniform surface without perceptible arises or depressions at the jointure. L. The bituminous pavement shall cure for fourteen days prior to applying the Color Surfacing or Line Paint. M. Do any repair or patching to pavements outside the project site damaged by the work of the Contract. N. All cuts in existing pavement shall be "saw cut" TACK COAT A. Apply to contact surfaces of existing or previously constructed asphalt or portland cement concrete and surfaces abutting or projecting into bituminous concrete pavement. Distribute at a rate of 0.30 to 0.35 gallons per square yard of surface or greater to provide complete coverage. 1. Apply tack coat to vertical surface of all saw cut existing bituminous concrete. B. Allow to dry or until at proper condition to receive paving APPLICATION OF ATHLETIC SURFACING AND LINES A. Athletic surfacing and lines shall be applied in strict conformance with the manufacturer's specifications and requirements and as specified herein. B. Bituminous Paving Surface Preparation: Preparation for areas requiring athletic surfacing shall be cleaned before installation of each of these items as follows: 1. All dirt, sand, dust and other loose debris materials and grease, oils and other foreign materials shall be cleaned from the paved areas to be covered by sweeping with brooms and pressure washing with water and or other methods as applicable. 2. Prior to the application of surfacing materials, the entire surface shall be checked and all minor depressions or irregularities located. 3.
