and untreated surface. via: earth sub-grade, crushed aggregate base course, cement or lime, stabilized base course, top of
roadway shoulders, concrete bridge deck, etc in accordance with the Specification and in close conformity with the lines
shown in the Drawing or established by the Engineer.
Slow setting cationic emulsified bitumen is chosen as the prime coat, whose quantity and quality are in conformity with the
Specification. Pre-distribution is done to check the consistency of bitumen:
The prime coat is sprayed after clearing the cutting left over of existing defective pavement. A slight application of water is
made if the surface is over dry.
It is determined to execute by a bitumen distributor, which is fitted with a handheld, manually operated bar fed by a
flexible line for use on areas too small to be satisfactory sprayed with the main bar.
Before any bitumen distributor is used on the works, the calibration of the nozzle shall be checked in a series of field tests
to maintain appropriate speeds for the proper application of the bitumen. During the progress of the work, it is
sprayed uniformly at one time in accordance with the designated bitumen capacity in case of bitumen's flowing to
penetrate into the base course. Oil slick formed on the surface is not permitted. Once any omission occurs, remedial
spraying is done manually. After the spraying, the traffic is strictly regulated in case of any vehicle or person passing
through.
No spraying is carried out on a wet pavement, while rain appears imminent or during high winds; the extra prime
coat bitumen, which has not penetrated into base course, is cleared immediately.
5.3.3
Bituminous Seal Coat
This work shall be applied to the execution of the prime coat. Reference shall be made to 5.3.2.
5.3.4
Sealing Aggregate
Aggregate spreader is used in the execution of construction:

and bitumen, crushed stone aggregate is spread once emulsion stops flowing.
The crushed stone aggregate is spread uniformly and not be overlapped, which cover the full pavement with no
exposing bitumen. Manually remedial work is done when any local omission occurs. The crushed stone aggregate
adheres to bitumen emulsion through rolling and integrates with it after its breaking. Where there is excess aggregate,
the unsuitable is removed immediately to make the surface level uniform.
Pneumatic-tired roller of 10 tons is used to compact, which is executed when the bitumen becomes fully black and
emulsion has been breaking. One to two-time light rolling is done firstly and re-rolling be started after it is dry.
5.3.5
Repair of Cracks
This work applies to the repair of linear cracking, or narrow-sections of block cracking in accordance with the
Specification or otherwise directed by the Engineer. The method of repair depends on the width of cracking and the area of

created, and to dampen stored materials during dry and windy weather. Stockpiles of friable materials are covered with
clean tarpaulins, with application of sprayed water during dry and windy weather. Stockpiles of material or debris are
dampened prior their movement
Any vehicle with an open load-carrying area used for transporting potentially dust-producing material have to have
properly fitting side and tailboards. Materials having the potential to produce dust are not loaded to a level higher than the
side and tail boards, and are covered with a clean tarpaulin in good condition. The tarpaulin is properly secured and extend
at least 300 mm over the edges of the side and tailboards.

Noise
The Contractor has to consider noise as an environmental constraint in his planning and execution of the Works. The
Contractor has to take all necessary measure that the operation of all mechanical equipment and construction processes on and
off the Site does not cause any unnecessary or excessive noise, taking into account applicable environment requirements.
The Contractor has to use all necessary measures and maintain all plant and silencing equipment in good condition so as
to minimize the noise emission during construction works.
9.4
Control of Wastes
The Contractor has to control the disposal of all forms of waste generated by the construction operations and in all
associated activities. No uncontrolled deposition or dumping is permitted. Waste to be so controlled includes, but is not
limited to, sewerage, all forms of fuel and engine oils, bitumen, cement, surplus concrete, surplus aggregates, gravels etc.
The Contractor has to make specifies provision for the proper disposal of these and any other waste products, conforming
to local regulations and acceptable to the Engineer. In the event of any spoil or debris or silt from the Site being deposited
on any adjacent land, the Contractor immediately remove all such spoil debris or silt and restore the affected area to its
original state to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

1 Routine Maintenance Unit will be set up by mid-July 2012 and will works for Section 1 & 3 of performance/output
based routine maintenance (Section 1: KM0+000 to KM12+300, at the beginning of road section and Section 3:
KM32+850 to KM 54+300). This unit will manage and control 2 pools of mobile pavement/shoulder repair. Each pool
will be equipped with mobile/patrol trucks, machineries, materials and tools for potholes/patching, cutting trees and
grassing, removing/collecting all foreign objects on the carried-way and shoulders. They also will regularly check
drainage/culvert/bridges to remove any blocking of water way.
The Routine Maintenance Unit will be responsible to maintain at all times a detailed and complete knowledge and
inventory of the condition of the road sections included in the contract, and to provide to the management of all the
information needed in order to efficiently manage and maintain the road sections. The Unit will be also obliged to carry
out, in close collaboration with the Engineer, the formal and scheduled inspections of service quality levels which will
take place regularly.
The compliance (or non-compliance) report will be prepared by the Routine Maintenance Unit and will be submitted to
the Engineer in the form of tables (a mandatory standard format table and report, with assistance of a Performance Base
Specialist of Engineer), will be prepared and adopted within the first month of the Contracts commencement date. One
table required for each road and one table required for each 1 km test section. The tables form part of the Contractors
monthly statement for IPC, and they may be complemented by comments for which a specific format is not required.
The monitoring of the performance will be done on a daily, monthly, and annual basis.
10.2
Contract Staffing and Sub-Contractors
In-house staff will be provided only approximately 15% of Contract services. The remaining services will be
subcontracted to the several local sub-contractors. In order to raise the quality of services of subcontractors and improve
competition among them, we will engage in an extensive training program for small contractors.
