Protect pavement edges that traffic is not expected to cross, except accidentally, as follows:
Less than 2” - No protection required.
2” to 4” - Place plastic drums, vertical panels, or barricades every 50 feet. During daylight working hours only, the Engineer will allow the Contractor to use cones in lieu of plastic drums, panels, and barricades. Wedge the drop-off with DGA or asphalt mixture for leveling and wedging with a 1:1 or flatter slope in daylight hours, or 3:1 or flatter slope during nighttime hours, when work is not active in the drop-off area.
A pre-bid meeting will be held to allow all prospective Bidders/Offers to review site conditions and gain a complete understanding of the full scope of work.

COMPACTION OPTION B
OPTION B
Be advised that the County will control and accept compaction of asphalt mixtures furnished on this project under OPTION B in accordance with KYTC Standard Specifications Sections 402 and 403.
ASPHALT MIXTURE
Unless otherwise noted, the County estimates the rate of application for all asphalt mixtures to be 110 lbs/sy per inch of depth.
INCIDENTAL SURFACING
The County has included in the quantities of asphalt mixtures established in the proposal estimated quantities required for resurfacing or surfacing mailbox turnouts, farm field entrances, residential and commercial entrances, curve widening, ramp gores and tapers, and road and street approaches, as applicable. Pave these areas to the limits as shown on Standard Drawing RPM-110-06 or as directed by the Engineer. The County will not measure placing and compacting for separate payment but shall be incidental to the Contract unit price for the asphalt mixtures.
FUEL AND ASPHALT PAY ADJUSTMENT
The County understands the fluctuation in fuel and asphalt prices. If necessary, the County will pay Asphalt Adjustment and Fuel Adjustment at an established Contract unit price of $1.00. The County will calculate actual adjustment quantities after work is completed. If existing Contract amount is insufficient to pay all items on the contract with the adjustments, the County will establish additional monies with a change order.
The County will compare the Kentucky Average Price Index (KAPI) for the month of project execution with the KAPI for the month of October 2024 to determine the percent change. When the average price of the liquid asphalt increases or decreases more than fifteen percent from the original bid price, the County will adjust the Contractor’s compensation. If a price adjustment is necessary, the adjusted price will take effect the first day of the following month and will remain in effect for all Purchase Orders issued that month. The KAPI is calculated monthly using the average price, per ton at the terminal, from the active suppliers of liquid asphalt. Asphalt content will be calculated at 5.3% in all mixes on this contract. For recycled mixtures, the County will determine the adjustment for the virgin asphalt cement only. The County will determine the price adjustment using the following formulas:
When PC is greater than PL:
Asphalt Price Adjustment = (Q x 5.3)/100 x PL x [(PC – PL)/ PL – 0.15]
When PC is less than PL:
Asphalt Price Adjustment = (Q x 5.3)/100 x PL x [(PC – PL)/ PL + 0.15]
Where:
Q = Tons of material or mixture used
PL = KAPI for the month of May 2026
PC = KAPI for the month of adjustment
For the Kentucky Average Price Index (KAPI) go to
http://transportation.ky.gov/Construction/Pages/Fuel-and-Asphalt-Adjustment.aspx
The adjustment schedule is as follows:
Month Let May 2026
Contract Effective Date May 2026
1st Adjustment Evaluation TBD
Adjustment (if necessary) Effective TBD
SPECIAL NOTE FOR TYPICAL SECTION DIMENSIONS
Do not widen existing pavement or shoulders unless specified elsewhere in this proposal or directed by the Engineer.
COORDINATION OF WORK WITH OTHER CONTRACTS
Be advised, there may be an active project at the time of resurfacing. The Engineer will coordinate the work of the Contractors. See Section 105.06.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR EDGE KEY
Construct Edge Keys at the beginning of project, end of project, at railroad crossings, and at ramps, as applicable. Unless specified in the Contract or directed by the Engineer, do not construct edge keys at intersecting streets, roads, alleys, or entrances. Cut out the existing asphalt surface to the required depth and width shown on the drawing and heel the new surface into the existing surface. The County will make payment for this work at the Contract unit price per ton for Asphalt Pavement Milling and Texturing, which shall be full compensation for all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals for removal and disposal of the existing asphalt surface required to construct the edge key.
Thickness = 1 Inch
L = 100 LF
L= Length of Edge Key
SAMPLING AND TESTING
SPECIAL NOTE FOR ASPHALT BASE REPAIR
Repair locations listed on the summary are approximate only. The Engineer will determine actual repair locations and dimensions at the time of construction. Prior to overall milling and/or leveling and wedging, excavate the designated to a depth 12 inches below the existing asphalt pavement surface level. Dispose of the excavated materials at waste sites off of the Right-of-Way obtained by the Contractor at no additional cost to the County.
Place 12” of Class 2 Asphalt Base 1.00D PG64-22 in the excavated areas. Compact the asphalt base to the compaction required in Section 403.03.10. Seal the asphalt base with leveling and wedging. Perform all repairs in such a manner that removal and replacement are completed on the same day. Repairs should be made in 3 lifts of 4-inch thickness. Top lift shall be placed in a manner such that it will be level with existing pavement height after being pneumatically compacted by traveling motorists during the time between placement of the Asphalt Repair and final resurfacing.
The bidder must draw conclusions as to the conditions encountered. The County does not give any guarantee as to the accuracy of the data and will not consider any claim for additional compensation if the materials encountered that are not in accord with the classification shown.
Accept payment at the Contract unit prices per square yard for Asphalt Base Repair as full compensation for all labor, equipment, and incidentals for removing pavement and disposing of the materials, furnishing and placing asphalt base, leveling and wedging, and all other items necessary to complete the work according to these notes to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
