The work covered by this section consists of the removal and disposal of the portland cement concrete or asphalt components of an existing roadway pavement structure, including paved shoulders, within the limits shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer. This work shall also include the removal of any temporary roadway pavement structure placed during construction to serve as a detour. The work covered by this section shall not include the removal and disposal of sidewalks, driveways, curb and gutter, traffic islands, and parking areas, or any other incidental paved structures which are not part of a roadway pavement structure.
250-2 PAVEMENT REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL.
The pavement shall be broken up and removed for its entire depth. Where concrete (See Standard Special Provisions) pavement is to be removed, the Contractor shall provide a neat edge along the pavement being retained by sawing the pavement approximately 2 inches deep before breaking the adjacent pavement away. The disposal of all materials resulting from the pavement removal shall be done as provided herein.
When existing pavement is located where embankment is to be constructed, and the depth of the embankment is greater than 1 foot exclusive of base and pavement, removal of the existing pavement will not be required but the existing pavement shall be broken up into pieces no larger than approximately 1 square foot in area.
Insofar as possible, all materials shall be used in the construction of embankments, but such use shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer. Where indicated on the plans or directed by the Engineer materials which the Department desires to use shall be stockpiled on the right of way at locations approved by the Engineer.
Where the Contractor requests permission to use salvageable material in other parts of the work and such material has been intended for use in the construction of embankments, the Engineer may permit such use provided the Contractor furnishes at no cost to the Department an adequate quantity of material for embankment construction to replace the material used in all other parts of the work.
All materials which cannot be used in the work shall be disposed of by the Contractor in accordance with Section 802.
The quantity of pavement removed to be paid for will be in the area of square yards of existing (See Standard Special Provisions) pavement actually removed and disposed of in accordance with the requirements of this section. The quantity will be determined by actual surface measurement of the (See Standard Special Provisions) pavement prior to its removal. No measurement will be made for (See Standard Special Provisions) pavement which is broken up and incorporated in embankment.
250-4 BASIS OF PAYMENT.(See Standard Special Provisions)
The quantity of pavement removal, measured as provided in Article 2503, will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard for "Removal of Existing Pavement."
