(A) General. The Contractor shall restore (unless otherwise specified or ordered by the Engineer) all permanent type pavements, sidewalks, driveways, curbs, gutters, shrubbery, fences, poles and other property and surface structures removed or disturbed during or as a result of construction operations to a condition which is equal in appearance and quality to the condition that existed before the work began.
(B) Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Surface. Where the existing pavement surface is portland cement concrete, the pavement replacement shall consist of ten inch portland cement concrete pavement reinforced the same as adjacent pavement. Portland cement concrete shall conform to the applicable provisions of those specifications and shall have a compressive strength of 3,500 pounds per square inch at 28 days. Construction methods for portland cement concrete pavement shall conform to § 501 of the current requirements of the Indiana State Highway specifications for portland cement concrete pavement. Pavement joints in the replacement surface shall conform to and match the joints in the adjacent pavement area.
(C) Bituminous Concrete Pavement Surface-Rigid Base. Where the existing pavement surface is bituminous concrete and the base consists of a rigid material such as brick, portland cement concrete, soil cement, natural cement or a combination of these materials, the base replacement shall consist of eight-inch portland cement concrete base course reinforced as indicated by the Engineer. Portland cement concrete shall conform to applicable provisions of these specifications and shall have a compressive strength of 3,500 pounds per square inch at 28 days. Construction methods for portland cement concrete base course shall conform to § 501 of the current requirements of the Indiana State Highway Specifications for portland cement concrete base course. The surface replacement shall consist of a bituminous prime coat and three inch minimum thickness bituminous concrete surface course conforming to § 403 of the Indiana State Highway specifications for bituminous concrete surface course.
(D) Bituminous Plant Mix Pavement or Bituminous Treated Surface Flexible Base. Where the existing pavement is bituminous plant mix material or bituminous surface treatment and the base consists of a flexible material such as gravel or crushed stone, the base replacement shall consist of an eight-inch compacted thickness of material conforming to aggregate materials as described in the Indiana State Highway Specifications.
(E) Placing and compacting of the base course material shall conform to the methods described in the above-referenced specifications for aggregate base course. The surface replacement shall consist of a bituminous prime coat and a bituminous surface plant mix three inches in thickness conforming to the Indiana State Highway Specifications for bituminous surface plant mix.
(F) Concrete Sidewalks, Driveways, Curb, and Gutter. When it is necessary to remove and replace concrete sidewalk, driveways, curb and curb and gutter, replacements shall be made as follows:
(1) Concrete sidewalks, driveways, curbs and curbs and gutter shall be replaced with concrete meeting the applicable provisions of these specifications and having a compressive strength of not less than 3,500 psi at 28 days. Minimum thickness shall be five inches for sidewalks and seven inches for driveways.
(2) Curb or curb and gutter dimensions and cross-sections shall conform, as nearly as practicable, with the existing installations. Sidewalks shall be finished to match existing adjacent sidewalk surfaces unless otherwise specified or directed by the Engineer.
(G) Brick Sidewalks and Driveways. Brick sidewalks or driveways shall be replaced with brick, using salvage materials where in good condition. Where shown on the plans, or directed by the Engineer, brick sidewalks or driveways shall be replaced with concrete in accordance with division (F) above.
