Macadam foundation course.
(1)
Description. The macadam foundation course shall consist
of the construction of a pavement base course of macadam and the preparation
of the subgrade.
(2)
Materials. The materials for large aggregate and screenings
shall be broken stone of trap rock, granite, gneiss, dolomite or limestone
or blast furnace slag. The largest aggregate shall be 2 1/2 inches
in size. The materials shall conform to the requirements of Article
8.5.5 and Article 8.5.7, respectively, of the "New Jersey State Highway

(b)
The macacam foundation course shall be constructed
of two-and-one-half-inch crushed stone rolled to a minimum thickness
of four inches, or as specified, with a three-wheeled power roller
weighing not less than 10 tons and a weight on the rear rolls of not
less than 330 pounds per inch of width of roll. The rolling shall
begin at the sides and progress to the center parallel to the center
line of the road. After the stone has been properly rolled, stone
dust shall be spread over its surface and worked into the voids. This
dust shall be applied in thin layers with intermittent rolling between
each application. After completion of the rolling, the entire base
surface shall be broomed and swept so no surplus stone dust remains
on the surface. The faces of the two-and-one-half-inch stones shall
show clean and clear. Areas that have become loose, raveled or rutted
shall be repaired and rerolled to the satisfaction of the Engineer
or his duly authorized representative.
(c)
The macadam foundation shall not be constructed
more than two weeks prior to the time that the bituminous surface
is to be applied. The contractor or developer shall repair any foundation
defects to the satisfaction of the Engineer or his duly authorized

combined that they will produce mixtures conforming to the gradation
requirements hereinafter specified. The soil aggregates shall be free
from vegetable matter, lumps or balls of clay, adherent films of clay
or other matter that will prevent thorough coating with bituminous
material. The portion passing the No. 40 sieve shall be nonplastic
when tested in accordance with A.A.S.H.O. Designation T91.
B.
Bituminous concrete binder course type CA-BC.
(1)
Description. The bituminous concrete for type CA-BC
shall be composed of course aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral filler
and bituminous material.
(2)

over the entire macadam base course at an application rate of 1/5
gallon per square yard in accordance with the "New Jersey State Highway

Construction," by a bituminous concrete paver, which shall be self-contained,
power-propelled, provided with an activated screed or strikeoff assembly,
and shall meet the requirements as specified therefor in Article 3.10.3
of the "New Jersey State Highway Department Standard Specifications,
1961."
(b)
The mixture shall be laid only upon a base which
is dry, and when the weather conditions are suitable in the opinion
of the Engineer or his duly authorized representative. No bituminous
concrete material shall be placed when the atmospheric temperature
is below 450º F., except when approved by the Engineer or his
duly authorized representative, or when the weather is foggy, rainy
or otherwise unfavorable in the opinion of the Borough Engineer or
his duly authorized representative. The mixture shall be spread and
struck off so as to obtain, after compaction, the grade and crown
shown on the plans or adjustments thereof made or ordered by the Engineer
or his duly authorized representative.
(c)
On areas where irregularities or unavoidable
obstacles make the use of self-powered spreading and finishing equipment
impracticable, in the judgment of the Engineer or his duly authorized
representative, the mixture may be spread and raked by hand. On such
areas the mixture shall be dumped on steel dump boards and spread
and raked to give the thickness of material required.
(d)
After the mixture has been properly spread,
initial compaction shall be obtained by rolling with a three-wheeled,
power-driven roller having a load of not less than 330 pounds per
inch of width of rear wheel and a total metal weight of not less than
10 tons.
(e)
Subsequent rolling shall be done with a two-axle
tandem roller which shall be power-driven, shall have a load of not
less than 250 pounds per inch of width of tread of drive roll and
shall have a total metal weight of not less than eight tons.
(f)
Rolling shall begin at the sides and progress
gradually to the center, until the entire surface has been rolled
by the rear wheels. If the width of the binder course permits, it
shall be subjected to a diagonal rolling in two directions, the second
diagonal rolling crossing the lines of the first.
(g)
Any pavement that becomes loose and broken or
mixed with dirt, or is in any way defective, shall be removed and
replaced with a fresh hot mixture which shall be immediately compacted
to conform to the surrounding area. Any area showing an excess of
bituminous material shall be removed and replaced.

cut samples from the completed pavement and forward same to the Engineer.
The areas of pavement so removed shall be replaced with new mixtures
and refinished.
(j)
No dwellings shall be occupied within major
subdivisions during the period between November 15 and March 15 unless
the bituminous concrete binder course type CA-BC has been installed,
or unless otherwise consented to by the Mayor and Council.

continued until all roller marks are eliminated and the finished surface
meets the requirements specified under Surface Requirements, Article
3.10.3 of the "New Jersey State Highway Department Standard Specifications,
1961."
