None.
Comply with Section 7020, 1.08, except as modified herein:
A. Asphalt Overlay by Ton:
1. Measurement: Measurement will be in tons of asphalt overlay.
2. Payment: Payment will be at the unit price per ton of asphalt overlay.
3. Includes: Unit price includes, but is not limited to, asphalt mix with asphalt binder, tack coats between layers, construction zone protection, and quality control.
B. Asphalt Overlay by Square Yards:
1. Measurement: Measurement will be in square yards for each different thickness of asphalt overlay. The area of manholes, intakes, or other fixtures in the pavement will not be deducted from the measured pavement area.
2. Payment: Payment will be at the unit price per square yard for each thickness of asphalt overlay.
3. Includes: Unit price includes, but is not limited to, asphalt mix with asphalt binder, tack coat, construction zone protection, and quality control.
2.01 ASPHALT OVERLAY MATERIALS
Comply with Iowa DOT Section 2303, with the following exception:
Follow the procedure outlined in Iowa DOT Materials I.M. 510 for asphalt mixture designs, except replace Table 1 in Appendix A, Asphalt Mixture Design Criteria with the SUDAS Asphalt Mixture Design Criteria (Table 7020.01) (Tables 2 through 4 in Appendix A still apply).
2.02 WARM MIX ASPHALT MATERIALS
If use of warm mix asphalt (WMA) is approved by the Jurisdiction, comply with Iowa DOT Section 2303.
2.03 RECYCLED ASPHALT MATERIALS
When recycled asphalt materials (RAM) are used and they exceed 20% replacement of the total binder, the binder grades may need to be modified. Comply with Iowa DOT Materials I.M. 510.
A. Recycled Asphalt Pavement: If use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is approved by the Jurisdiction, comply with Iowa DOT Section 2303.
B. Recycled Asphalt Shingles: If use of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) is approved by the jurisdiction, comply with Iowa DOT Section 2303.
A. Conventional Overlays: Use the specified binder grade.
B. Asphalt Interlayer: Use PG 58-34E meeting AASHTO T 321 with minimum 100,000 cycles to failure. Comply with Iowa DOT Materials I.M. 510A. Do not use RAP.
C. High Performance Thin Lift: Use PG 64-34E+ complying with requirements of PG 64-34E except that a minimum percent recovery of 90% when tested at 64°C per AASHTO T 350 at 3.2kPa is required. Comply with Iowa DOT I.M. 510A. Do not use RAS.

2.06 NOMINAL AGGREGATE SIZE FOR ASPHALT OVERLAYS
Nominal aggregate size dictates lift thickness. Minimum lift thickness should be at least 3 times the nominal maximum aggregate size to ensure aggregate can be aligned during compaction to achieve required density. Therefore, desired lift thickness can direct the decision on nominal aggregate size to use.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
Comply with Section 7020, Iowa DOT Section 2303, Section 7040, and the following:
A. Preparation of Existing Pavement:
1. Remove pavement by
milling as required by the contract documents. Mill to the depth, cross-section,
or profile specified.
2. Sweep existing pavement with approved broom. Provide dust control during brooming.
3. If milling is not required, correct irregularities in existing pavement cross slope with partial patching, full-depth patching, and leveling base coat prior to placing the overlay. Use base or intermediate course mixes to correct irregularities. Surface course thickness per plan.
B. Special Requirements for Thin Lift Overlays and Asphalt Interlayer:
1. Apply tack coat prior to placement of thin lift overlay and asphalt interlayer. Comply with Section 7020.
2. Compact with static steel wheel roller.
Comply with Section 7020, 3.03.
Comply with Section 7020, 3.04.
Comply with Section 7020, 3.05.
A. General: Comply with Section 7020, 3.06.
B. Special Requirements for Thin Lift Overlays and Asphalt Interlayer:
1. Complete field voids for Class II compaction as defined in Iowa DOT Section 2303.
2. Sample and test from windrow or hopper. Apply Iowa DOT Article 2303.05, A, 3 for AAD acceptance. Air void target is based on approved JMF.
3. Take at least one cold feed each day for gradation control.
Comply with Section 7040.
