2314.01 GENERAL.
This work shall consist of furnishing calcium chloride and applying this material with or without water furnished by the Contractor, as provided in the contract documents and in accordance with the following provisions.

2314.02 MATERIALS.
The materials used shall meet the following requirements:

A. Water.
Water shall be clear and free from suspended matter.

B. Calcium Chloride.
Unless otherwise provided in the contract documents, the calcium chloride may be furnished, at the Contractor's option, in any of the forms meeting requirements of Article 4194.01.

2314.03 EQUIPMENT.
The equipment shall meet requirements of Section 2001 and the following:

A. Equipment for Applying Water or Calcium Chloride Solution.
Article 2001.09 shall apply.

B. Equipment for Applying Calcium Chloride in a Solid Form.
Equipment for applying calcium chloride in solid form to the road surface shall be capable of such calibration and control that the quantity of calcium chloride applied in any 25 foot (10 m) length of road shall not vary more than 10% from the intended quantity of material in that unit of length.

C. Belt or Spiral Flight Conveyors.
Belt or spiral flight conveyors for handling bulk shipments of solid form calcium chloride to be applied in solution shall be provided with a revolution counter conveniently located so the rate of delivery may be accurately calibrated.

D. Weighing Equipment.
Article 2001.07 shall apply.

2314.04 APPLICATION.
The calcium chloride may be applied to the road surface in the solid form and the water applied separately, or a liquid form may be furnished or the solid form may be made into a solution and applied to the road surface. Calcium chloride shall not be applied during rain or when, in the opinion of the Engineer, the weather is unsuitable for the application.

When calcium chloride is to be applied to the road in the solid form, unless otherwise provided in the contract documents, water shall first be applied uniformly to the center portion of the roadbed at a rate sufficient to produce the desired condition of moisture on the road surface to be treated.

It is anticipated that this will require 10,000 gallons (23.5 kL) of water per mile (kilometer) of road, but this rate may be increased or decreased in increments of 1000 gallons per mile (1 kL/km) at the direction of the Engineer.

Unless otherwise provided in the contract documents, the solid form shall be spread at a rate which will deliver to the road surface 1 pound (0.5 kg) of calcium chloride per square yard (square meter), computed on the anhydrous basis. When calcium chloride is applied in solid form, it shall be spread uniformly over the road within 1 hour after application of water to that section. The total quantity of calcium chloride applied on each mile (kilometer) of road shall be within 5% of the specified quantity.

When calcium chloride is to be applied in solution, water and calcium chloride shall be thoroughly mixed into a uniform solution completely dissolving any solid material before the solution is spread on the road. The concentration of the solution and the rate of distribution of the solution on the road surface shall be controlled to deliver to the road surface the quantity of calcium chloride specified above.

Unless results of laboratory analysis of samples of material actually used are available, the rate of distribution may be computed on the following percentages for the respective material:

Material	Assumed % Calcium Chloride by weight (mass) (anhydrous basis)
Regular Flakes	77.0%
Conc. Flakes, Pellets, or other gran. form	94.0%
Calcium Chloride Liquor	32.0%*
* Total calcium chloride. This percentage may be modified with the approval of the Engineer.

2314.05 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT.
The work involved in surface application of calcium chloride will be measured as follows:
