parallel to the paving lane centerline, overlapping each trip half the roller
width, and gradually progressing to the crown of the parking lot or roadway.
2. When the pavement abuts a previously placed lift, roll the longitudinal joint
first followed by regular rolling procedures.
3. on sloped sections, begin roiling at the low side and progress to the high
side, by overlapping the longitudinal trips parallel to the paving lane
centerline.
4. Along forms, curbs, headers, walls, and other places not accessible to
rollers, thoroughly compact the mixture with hot hand tampers or with
mechanical tampers.
5. The pavement shall be rolled so that no roller marks ridges, porous spots or
impressions are visible and the resulting surface has the required elevation
and surface smoothness requirements.
D. Compaction shall be obtained by the Ordinary Compaction Method. Uniformly
compact each course until there is no further evidence of consolidation and all roller
marks are eliminated. A minimum of two rollers shall be on the site at all times. A
vibratory steel roller shall be used for breakdown and finish rolling and a pneumatic
roller shall be used after breakdown, unless directed otherwise by the Engineer.
02500-6
E. Repairs: Remove and replace areas mixed with foreign materials or defective areas
as directed by the Engineer. Sawcut the areas, remove the existing bituminous and
replace with new, hot plant mix bituminous. Compact the area by rolling to the air
voids and smoothness specified. The removal and replacement of contaminated
plant mix bituminous shall be done at no cost to the Owner.
F. Surface Smoothness: The surface of the pavement when finished shall be of uniform
texture, smooth, true to crown and elevation and free from defects to the satisfaction
of the Engineer. When tested with a 10-foot straight edge in any direction, the
maximum deviation of the surface shall not exceed 1/8 inch. Unsatisfactory joints,
as determined by the Engineer, will be rejected and replaced at the Contractor's
expense. Areas showing deviations greater than 1/8 inch or where surface water
ponding will result, shall be milled, tack coated and repaved with bituminous.
O. Protection: Erect barricades to prohibit vehicular traffic from the pavement after final
rolling until it has fully hardened and cooled to the same temperature as the
surrounding soil or original asphalt pavement.
H. Restrictions: No MN /DOT bituminous mixtures shall be placed after November 1.

residual chlorine content is less than one part per million.
E. Extreme care shall be taken during the sterilizing operation to ensure that a strong
chlorine solution does not enter the existing watermains or water supply.
3.04 PRESSURE TESTS
A. After the pipe has been laid, openings plugged, and fittings and bends have been

test is performed, backfill the trench sufficiently to ensure that the pipe and
accessories will not move or be forced apart because of the applied pressure.
B. The Contractor shall furnish water, materials, and equipment required to perform the
testing and conduct the testing. The leakage shall be defined as that amount of
water required to be pumped into the mains being tested to maintain the test
pressure after the mains have been filled with water and the air has been expelled.

or as directed by the city engineer.
C. The allowable leakage shall not be greater than the quantity as determined by the
following formula:
in which L equals the allowable leakage in gallons per hour; N is the number of joints
in the length of pipe line being tested; D is the nominal diameter of the pipe in inches;
and P is the average test pressure during the leakage test in psi. (the allowable
leakage according to the formula is equivalent to 30 U.B. gallons per 24 hours, per
mile of pipe, per inch of pipe diameter for pipe in 13' lengths evaluated on a pressure
basis of 150 psi. or as directed by city engineer.)
D. Should tests of the pipe show a leakage of greater than the allowable limit, the
Contractor, at his own expense, shall locate and repair all defects until retests show
that the leakage is within the allowable limits.

ammeter and shall remain steady without interruption or excessive fluctuation
throughout the five - minute test period.
D. Insufficient current or intermittent current or arcing, indicated by large fluctuations of
the ammeter needle, shall be evidence of defective contact in the pipeline. The
cause shall be isolated and corrected. Thereafter, the section in which the defective
test occurred shall be re-tested as a unit and shall meet the requirements.
E. After the test, the hydrant shall be shut off and a cap loosened to allow the hydrant to
drain. Tighten the cap after drainage is complete.
