**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification covers the
requirements for cold milling of bituminous pavement
for airfields, roads, streets, parking areas, and
other general applications.

Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing
this guide specification or preparing new project
specification sections. Edit this guide
specification for project specific requirements by
adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed
items, choose applicable item(s) or insert
appropriate information.

PART 1 GENERAL

**************************************************************************
NOTE: This guide specification can be used to
specify cold milling alone on structurally sound
pavements for surface texturing to increase skid
resistance of a worn pavement, or for pavement
removal to restore roadway geometry. Cold milling
can also be used in conjunction with mill and fill
operations.

On the project drawings, show:

1. Location and extent of milling operation.

2. Required elevation of milled surface and finish

SECTION 32 01 16.71 Page 2

 surface of new pavement.

3. Section indicating in mm inches the depth that

existing pavement has to be removed.

4. Location of existing manholes, valve boxes and

utility lines.

1.1.1 Measurement

The quantity of milled pavement will be the number of square meters yards
completed and accepted as determined by the Contracting Officer.
Determine the number of square meters yards of milled pavement by
measuring the length and width of the milled surface within the specified
work area. Measure the width of the area to the closest mm inch and
measure the length of the area to the closest meter foot.

1.1.2 Payment

Payment will be to the nearest square meter yard. No payment will be made
for milling outside the specified area of work.

1.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE

1.2.1 Grade

Mill pavement such that the finished surface conforms to the lines,
grades, and cross sections indicated. The maximum allowable deviation of
the finished milled pavement surfaces from the established plan grade line
and elevation will be [0] [6] mm [0] [1/4] inch. The deviations from the
plan grade line and elevation will not be permitted in areas of pavements
where closer conformance with planned grade and elevation is required for
the proper functioning of appurtenant structures involved.

1.2.2 Surface Smoothness

The maximum allowable deviation of the finished surfaces from the testing
edge in the transverse or longitudinal direction will be 6 mm 1/4 inch.

1.2.3 Traffic Control

Provide all necessary traffic controls during milling operations.

1.3 EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, AND MACHINES

Maintain in a satisfactory working condition equipment, tools, and

machines used in the performance of the work.

1.3.1 Cold-Milling Machine

Provide a cold-milling machine which is self-propelled, capable of milling

SECTION 32 01 16.71 Page 3

 the pavement to a specified depth and smoothness and of establishing grade
control; with means of controlling transverse slope and dust produced
during the pavement milling operation. Machine will have capability of
adding water in front of equipment to minimize dust during milling
operation. The machine will have the ability to [windrow the millings or
cuttings] [remove the millings or cuttings from the pavement and load them
into a truck]. The milling machine will not damage any part of the
pavement structure that is not to be removed.

1.3.2 Cleaning Equiment

Provide cleaning equipment suitable for removing and cleaning loose

material from the pavement surface.

1.3.3 Straightedge

Furnish and maintain at the site, in good condition, one 3.66 meter 12 foot
straightedge or other suitable device for each milling machine, for
testing the finished surface. Make straightedge available for Government
use. Use straightedges constructed of aluminum or other lightweight metal,
with blades of box or box-girder cross section with flat bottom reinforced
to insure rigidity and accuracy. Use straightedges with handles to
facilitate movement on the pavement.

1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Do not perform milling when there is accumulation of snow or ice on the

pavement surface.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 MILLING OPERATION

**************************************************************************

When the milled material (cutting) is to be cold

recycled, the maximum size of the cuttings should be
equal to or less than one-half of the recycled
pavement thickness. Generally, the maximum size for
a single 100 mm 4 inch lift of pavement will be 50 mm
2 inches or less. For hot recycling the
recommended maximum size of the milled material is
50 mm 2 inches.

If design does not include removal of base course

material and it is desired not to disturb the base
course then the following may be included in this
paragraph:

Conduct cold-milling operation to ensure that only

bituminous pavement is removed and base course is
not disturbed. Leave in place a layer of bituminous
pavement, 25 mm 1 inch thick, over the undisturbed
base course.

SECTION 32 01 16.71 Page 4

 **************************************************************************

A minimum of seven days notice is required, prior to start work, for the
Contracting Officer to coordinate the milling operation with other
activities at the site. Make sufficient passes so that the designated
area is milled to the grades and cross sections indicated. Mill the
pavement in depth increments that will not damage the pavement below the
designated finished grade. If scabbing occurs, the surface will not meet
smoothness requirements. Take steps to modify the process as needed to
prevent scabbing from occuring. Repair or replace, as directed, items
damaged during milling such as manholes, valve boxes, utility lines,
pavement that is torn, cracked, gouged, broken, or undercut. [Window the
milled material.] Remove the milled material from the pavement and load
into trucks.

3.2 GRADE AND SURFACE-SMOOTHNESS TESTING

3.2.1 Grade-Conformance Tests

**************************************************************************
NOTE: For pavements in aircraft traffic areas such
as airfield runways and taxiways, lines of levels to
determine elevation of the milled pavement will be
run longitudinally and transversely at intervals not
exceeding 8 meters 25 feet.
**************************************************************************

Test the finished milled surface of the pavement for conformance with the
plan-grade requirements and for acceptance by the Contracting Officer by
running lines of levels at intervals of [7.5] [_____] meters [25] [_____]
feet longitudinally and [7.5] [_____] meters [25] [_____] feet
transversely to determine the elevation of the completed pavement.
Correct variations from the designated grade line and elevation in excess
of the plan-grade requirements as directed. Skin patching for correcting
low areas will not be permitted. Remove and replace the deficient low
area. Remove sufficient material to allow at least 25 mm 1 inch of
asphalt concrete to be placed.

3.2.2 Surface-Smoothness Tests

After completion of the final milling, the finished milled surface will be
tested by the Government with a straightedge. Other approved devices may
be used, provided that when satisfactorily and properly operated, such
devices reveal all surface irregularities exceeding the tolerances
specified. Correct surface irregularities that depart from the testing
edge by more than 6 mm 1/4 inch. Skin patching for correcting low areas
will not be permitted. Remove and replace the deficient low area. Remove
sufficient material to allow at least 25 mm 1 inch of asphalt concrete to
be placed.

3.3 REMOVAL OF MILLED MATERIAL

[Place material that is removed [in the disposal area as specified] [into
traveling mixing plant for cold-mix recycling].] [Transport material that
is removed to central plant for hot-mix or cold-mix recycling.] [Stockpile
material that is removed as specified and in such a manner to prevent
segregation or contamination.] [Material that is removed will become the
property of the Contractor and removed from the site.]
