The second method of rehabilitation will consist of removing the existing asphalt pavement structure, excavating additional subgrade material as required to achieve the required pavement section, performing cement stabilization to a depth of 18 inches in order to remediate weak subgrade conditions, placing a 6 inch course of P-209 Crushed Aggregate Base Course, and placing a new asphalt section consisting of 3 inches of FAA Specification P-403 Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement Base Course and 2 inches of FAA Specification P-401 Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement Surface Course.
The project is divided into a base bid and two additive alternates. The project will also include placing new asphalt pavement markings on the apron and taxiways and the re-application of the Runway 11-29 pavement markings as well as mobilization and all other appurtenances required for a complete project as detailed in the construction plans and specifications prepared by Chapman Technical Group.
