(A) Where trenches cross existing improved roadways or drives or where the trench parallels an existing improved roadway which is disturbed by the contractor's operations, the contractor shall consolidate the trench backfill and shall immediately place a temporary gravel fill, meeting 21AA Aggregate Gradation at least eight inches thick; and shall, during the life of the project, maintain the same in good condition with additional gravel as settling takes place. All structures, including curbing, walks, paving, gravel, or sheet road surfaces, and the like, that may be damaged or destroyed by the contractor's operations, shall be repaired and replaced by the contractor at their expense. In restoring pavement, a saw shall be used and a cut equal to tire thickness of the existing pavement shall be made on each side of the part to be restored. Concrete shall be 3500 psi, using six sacks of cement per cubic yard of concrete, unless otherwise required.
(B) If the pavement removed had an asphaltic concrete surface, the surface shall be removed to a distance one foot beyond the limits of the removed asphaltic concrete pavement. The butt joint in asphaltic concrete removal shall be prepared by sawing through the total depth of asphaltic concrete. The surface shall be replaced with a nominal three inches of MDOT bituminous surface mixture as required by the village and meeting the requirements of the Michigan Department of Transportation as to materials and method of replacement at no extra cost to the village.
