2026-11-03

The Project The project is located on Beach Street in Saco , Maine . The project begins 10 feet west of the existing pavement joint at the intersection of Beach Street and Middle Street extending easterly approximately 4 , 275 feet to 30 feet east of the crosswalk at the intersection of Beach Street and Old Orchard Road . A Project Location Map is provided below . The work in this project includes pavement milling of the existing pavement surface and Hot Mix Asphalt Shim Course and Surface Course and adjusting all structures affected by paving operations . The Contractor shall mill 2 - inches of pavement and apply 0 . 5 - inches of shim course and 1 . 5 - inches of surface asphalt . Removing Pavement Surface Project Specifications This work shall consist of removing , milling and disposing of all designated bituminous pavement which are required to be removed , except for the obstructions to be removed and disposed of under other contract items . It shall also include salvaging designated materials . The equipment for removing the bituminous surface shall be a power operated milling machine or grinder capable of removing bituminous concrete pavement to the required depth , transverse cross slope , and profile grade by the use of an automated grade and slope control system . The controls shall automatically increase or decrease the pavement removal depth as required , and readily maintain desired cross slope , to compensate for surface irregularities in the existing pavement course . The equipment shall be capable of accurately establishing profile grades by referencing from a fixed reference such as a grade wire , or from the existing pavement surface using a 30 - foot minimum contact ski ( floating beam ), or 24 - foot non - contact grade control beam . The Contractor shall locate and remove all objects in the pavement through the work area that would be detrimental to the planning or grinding machine . The finished milled surface will be inspected before being accepted , and any deviations in the profile exceeding 1 / 2 inch under a 16 - foot string line or straightedge placed parallel to the centerline will be corrected . Any deviations in the cross - slope that exceed 3 / 8 inch under a 10 - foot string line or straightedge placed transversely to centerline will be corrected . All corrections will be made with approved methods and materials . Any areas that require corrective measures will be subject to the same acceptance tolerances . Excess material that becomes bonded to the milled surface will be removed to the City ' s satisfaction before the area is accepted . Removing Portland cement concrete pavement , removing bituminous concrete pavement , pavement butt joints , and removing pavement surface will be measured by the square yard with no deductions made for areas occupied by existing catch basins and manholes . The accepted quantity of removing pavement surface will be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard . This price will be full compensation for removing the material to the required depth , profile and cross slope , complete cleaning of the milled surface suitable for paving , and for salvaging , hauling , and stockpiling excess material to an approved designated area . Locating and removing objects , and additional milling and paving required to correct deviations will not be paid for separately but will be included in the contract unit price per square yard . Pavement Butt Joints The equipment for removing the bituminous surface shall be a cold milling machine or a power operated planer capable of removing the existing pavement to the required depth , width , grade , and slope .
