STATEMENT OF WORK

DRIVEWAY REPAIR AND RESURFACING ASPHALT WORK AT CHANCERY

FRONT CAC.

US EMBASSY KUALA LUMPUR

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project is described as the repair and resurfaces the asphalt located at the Chancery
Front CAC driveway at the US Embassy Kuala Lumpur.
The Contractor is required to furnish all materials, labor, transportation, tools and
equipment and perform all work within in a fixed-price contract.
The entire Front CAC Parking asphalt is damaged with potholes. The soil is settling
around with cracks.
The work consists of milling, sweeping and overlaying the entire Front CAC driveway and
parking area with a 1 ½ inch compacted lift of asphalt.
Major Milling work shall be done with a self-propelled grinding machine capable of
removing 7ft of the asphalt in a single pass at a depth ranging from 1 to 2 inch. Minor
milling at the end of the lot or may be done with a smaller machine capable of removing
up to a 30 inch width. Unless otherwise noted, all milling shall do to an average depth of
1 ½ inches. All milling must be removed immediately from the pavement and must not
allow remaining in the lot more than a day. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the
existing concrete cover on the underground tanks adjoining storm sewer inlets. As such,
some chipping by use of a jackhammer maybe required.

exceeding 54 °C above the binder and at where there is a joint with existing asphalt surface.

ii) The surface shall be cured for the period as per manufacturer’s recommendations until a
tacky surface is visible.

b. Surface course

Surface Course Bituminous Concrete design mixtures shall respond to all ASTM and
AASHTO standard specifications for Hot Mix Asphalt stipulated above. The Contractor shall
submit, with the design mixtures, the sufficient passes to reach the optimum compaction of the
asphalt.

i) The hot asphalt mix shall be spread over the cured surface of tack coat by automatic asphalt
paver to the required profile and thickness.

ii) The mix shall be compacted as soon as possible after spreading the material. Tandem roller
shall follow the laying operation to carry out breakdown rolling up to a temperature of 110-
120° C.

Self-propelled rollers and Tandem rollers shall follow the breakdown rolling and sufficient
passes shall be made to achieve the required compaction.

Rolling shall start from the sides and proceed toward the center. Each trip of the roller shall
overlap the previous trip by at least 30 cm.

Roller wheels shall be kept moistened. The roller shall be capable of reversing without backlash
and shall be free from worn parts. Heavy tandem roller shall be used to complete all rolling
including elimination of waves caused by the lighter rollers. Full compaction shall be obtained
before the asphalt temperature reaches 80° C. Compaction shall be in accordance with
specification of relevant standard.

Along curbing, structures, and all places not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be
thoroughly compacted by tampers. Such tampers shall not weigh less than twenty-five (25)
pounds and shall have a tamping face of not more than fifty (50) square inches.

iii) No vehicular traffic loads shall be permitted on the newly paved area until adequate stability
has been attained and the material has cooled sufficiently to prevent distortion or loss of fines.
A minimum period of 12 hours shall be considered after the completion of the rolling.
