(A) The cost of making compaction tests shall be paid by the owner or the contractor. The tests shall be made at the locations and depths specified by the Director of Public Works or his or her representative. A minimum of one set of tests will be required for each four feet of trench depth for trenches within the area defined in § 96.23(B)(2). The minimum number of passing tests per set anticipated to prove specification compliance may be estimated at the following rates:
(1) Pavement cut crossings: one test per crossing;
(2) Pavement cuts or trenches within two feet of pavement edge: two tests per 500 lineal feet;
(3) At all other locations: one test per 400 lineal feet;
(4) Test may be taken at four foot vertical increments in the same vertical plane at the option of the Engineer of Record; and
(B) Copies of all test reports shall be sent directly to the Engineer of Record from the testing laboratory, and to the Director of Public Works within five days after tests are conducted.
(C) Pavement cutting and restoration shall be as follows:
(1) All cuts in asphalt or concrete pavement shall have saw cut or neat and straight edges. Excavated pavement material shall be removed from the site.
(2) The asphaltic material used for replacement of pavement cuts shall conform to the applicable M.A.G. Specifications. The thickness of the pavement and aggregate base replaced shall be consistent with the thickness of the existing asphalt pavement and base cut shall not be less than two inches of asphaltic pavement over nine inches compacted depth of aggregate base compacted to 100% of maximum density for the material. For Portland cement concrete paving cut replacement, this same specification will apply. The existing pavement shall be trimmed to a neat edge and the edge shall be treated with a proper emulsion to ensure a bond between the existing pavement and the patch.
(3) It is required that all roadway crossing of lines four inches in diameter or less to be installed under pavement which is less than two years old, be bored under the pavement.
