Subject: Street Maintenance Project 98-02, Phase IliA - Unauthorized Utility Cuts
Dear Maurice:
We are very disappointed to learn that a section of our newly paved street on Hamilton Avenue at
Grace Avenue was cut into yesterday by your contractor, R.W. French. I worked quite
extensively with Edward Lambing, San Jose Water Co. (SJWC) Engineer, early this year to
ensure that your project would be completed pdor to July 1, 2001 under City Encroachment
Permit #ENC2001-00054. It was also our understanding that SJWC had agreed that all of the
work had been completed prior to the overlay of the street· Most importantly I feel very disturbed
that your contractor cut into our street without prior notification to the City's Inspection team· As a
result of our meeting yesterday, I hope we can rectify the problems that occurred and ensure that
in the future they are dealt with in the appropriate manner.
As a clarification to our discussion, the City expects SJWC to correct the problem by milling and
replacing 2" of asphalt concrete in the specified repair area. The area of removal and
replacement shall include the full half-street section (approx. 45 feet wide) that the City paved just
two weeks earlier by 30 feet in length from the most outer utility cut on each side. The City
requires SJWC to replace the asphalt concrete with %" maximum-medium gradation, Type A AR-
8000 asphalt concrete (preferably Raisch material), pavement fabric, and all pavement
requirements per the City's specifications for the above noted project. The project's
specifications are attached, and SJWC shall comply with all of the highlighted sections for this
repair work.
In the future, please coordinate all work with the City's Senior Public Works Inspector, Alan Hom,
at least 48 hours in advance prior to starting any work and, make sure you are aware of and
comply with the conditions required for the particular encroachment permit and our City
standards.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Alan Hom, Senior Public Works
Inspector, at (408) 866-2168. Thank you.
s~ncerely, -,_:

these special provisions. Attention is directed to "Hours of Work" and "Days of Work" under
10-1, "General Construction Requirements, and 10-2 "Traffic Control" of these Special
Provisions.
Asphalt concrete overlay shall be placed within the project limits as specified on the plans and
as marked in the field. Two working days in advance of the paving operations, the Contractor
shall submit to the Engineer, a description of the proposed paving operation including the pass
widths, the establishment and control to maintain a uniform grade, and the rolling equipment
and procedures to be used.
34
Special Provisions
The Contractor shall schedule the asphalt concrete overlay work so that the overlay will be
completed on the entire pavement width, (from lip of gutter to the lip of gutter or face of curb
on the median island), at the end of each working day. Contractor shall follow this schedule so
that no longitudinal pavement drop-offs between adjacent lanes exist at the end of each working
day.
The asphalt concrete overlay shall be Type A - 3/4" maximum - medium gradation and shall
meet the following gradation:
%" Max - Medium, Type A Asphalt Concrete

Dust shall be kept at 1% unless otherwise approyed.
Asphalt binder shall be AR 8000. A tack coat shall be applied to the existing vertical surfaces
prior to placement of the overlay, and to all existing pavement surfaces in areas that will not
receive pavement fabric. If asphalt overlay operations occur between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00
p.m., undiluted SS-iH emulsified asphalt can be used as a tack coat; otherwise, the contractor
shall use an AR 4000 paving asphalt binder as the tack coat.
Asphalt concrete shall meet the SS requirement for the LA Rattler Test. All Asphalt Concrete
shall be compacted to a relative compaction of not less than 95 %.
Final compaction of the paving shall be tested by the City by nuclear gauge using test method
ASTM D2950. The test maximum density shall be derived from the laboratory compacted
specimens made in accordance with CTM 304 and tested for Bulk Specific Gravity and Density
in accordance with ASTM Dl188. Cores may be taken in lieu of nuclear gage testing to
determine compaction of asphalt concrete. Cores shall be tested under CTM 308 Method A or
ASTM Dl188. The test results from coring shall take precedence when determining if the
paved areas meet the required relative compaction.
35
Special Provisions
Before placing the layer adjacent to cold transverse construction joints, such joints shall be
trimmed to a vertical face and to a straight line. Transverse joints shall be tested by the City
with a 12-foot straightedge and shall be cut back as required to conform to the requirements for
surface smoothness. The Contractor shall provide the 12-foot straightedge.
Longitudinal joints shall be trimmed to a vertical face and to a straight line, if, in the opinion
of the Engineer, the edges of the previously laid surfacing are in a condition that the quality of
the completed joint will be affected. The material being placed in the abutting lanes shall be
tightly crowded against the face of the previously placed lane. The paving machine shall be
positioned to overlap the existing mat only to the extent that the material placed against the
joint is tightly crowded against the vertical face at the joint and that the conform leaves no
ridges or depressions. Before compacting the joint, the coarse aggregate in the overlapped
material that has dislodged through raking shall be removed from the pavement surface and
discarded.
The Contractor shall ensure that connections to existing or previously laid surfacing shall
conform to the requirements of surface smoothness or the Contractor shall correct all these
deficiencies to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The Engineer's decision whether the
Contractor has met the requirements of surface smoothness shall be final.
The completed surfacing shall be thoroughly compacted, smooth, and free from ruts, humps,
depressions, or surface irregularities. When the 12 foot long straightedge is laid on the
finished surface and parallel to the center line, the surface shall not vary more than 0.01-foot
from the lower edge of the straightedge. The transverse slope of the finished surface shall be
uniform to a degree such that no depressions greater than 0.02-1hot are present when tested
with a 12 foot straightedge laid in a direction transverse to the center line and extending from
edge to edge of the traffic lane. Should these tolerances and smooth surface requirements not
be met, the Contractor shall grind all failed pavement sections using abrasive grinding
equipment utilizing diamond cutting blades and the sections slurry sealed. Attention is directed
to Sections 37-2 and 42-2 of the SS. Should the Contractor fail to perform these requirements,
the Engineer may elect to have the City or contract forces perform these requirements,
deducting the expenses incurred from any moneys that are due, or to become due, to the
Contractor. By exercising this option, the Contractor is in no way relieved of the responsibility
to perform these requirements.
The Contractor shall water test the entire overlay area in the presence of the Engineer to check
the direction of water flow and ponding. Contractor shall repair all areas of ponding and
reverse flow.
36
Spe.cial Provisions
The Contractor shall provide a minimum of two competent and qualified flaggers dedicated
solely to directing traffic into and out of driveways and cross-streets across overlaid areas
during the overlay operations (including the placement of the asphalt binder and pavement
fabric). Flaggers shall be equipped with all equipment necessary to properly direct and control
traffic.
Temporary lane line markers (slurry tabs) shall be installed as required immediately following
the paving operation and shall be in place before two adjacent lanes are opened to public
traffic. Temporary pavement markings (tape only) shall be installed on the same work day as
the paving operation and shall delineate all two-way left turn lanes, left turn pockets, right ['urn
pockets, limit lines, and crosswalks. Contractor shall maintain temporary striping and
markings until the permanent striping and markings are installed. All temporary markings and
striping shall be removed by the Contractor (on the same day) after the permanent markines
and striping are installed. ~
If the Contractor fails to comply in providing the temporary lane line markers and temporary
pavement markings, the Engineer may elect to have the City or contract forces perform all
these duties, deducting all the expenses incurred from any moneys that are due or become due
to the Contractor. By exercising this option, the Contractor is in no way relieved of the
responsibilities to perform these duties.
Payment for flagging and providing, installing and maintaining the temporary lane lines and
pavement markings shall be deemed included in the price paid various items of work and no
additional compensation shall be allowed therefore.
