424.01 Description. This work consists of constructing a surface course of aggregate and polymer modified asphalt binder mixed in a central plant and spread and compacted on a prepared surface. The requirements of 401 apply, except as modified by this supplemental specification.
424.02 Composition. For Type A mixes use 8.5 percent modified asphalt binder by total mix weight.
For Type B mixes, submit a proposed JMF according to 441.02 to the Laboratory that meets the requirements of a Type 1 surface course, except as follows:
A. Minimum VMA, 15.0 percent
B. Minimum total binder content, 6.4 percent
C. Design air voids, 4.0 percent
424.03 Materials. Furnish clean, uncoated aggregate conforming to the applicable requirements of Table A 424.03-1 and quality requirements of 703.05.
Use a PG 76-22M asphalt binder or a PG 64-22 asphalt binder modified by adding 5.0 +/- 0.3 percent by weight Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) solids. Conform SBR to 702.14. Provide mineral filler conforming to 703.07. Conform binders to 702.01.
Do not use reclaimed asphalt concrete pavement.

(1) Gradation includes any mineral filler and is specified in percent passing.
(2) Use natural sand with at least 50 percent silicon dioxide by weight according to ASTM C 146. Sources will be approved by Department.
(3) Fine Aggregate - Use natural sand with at least 50 percent silicon dioxide by weight according to ASTM C 146. Sources will be approved by the Department. For medium mixes, use no more than 20 percent limestone sand by weight of total aggregate. For heavy mixes, use 20 percent limestone sand or air cooled slag sand by weight of total aggregate.
(4) Coarse Aggregate - For medium mixes, use 10 percent two-faced crushed aggregate by weight of total aggregate. For heavy mixes, use 100 percent two-faced crushed aggregate. Conform two-faced crushed aggregate to ASTM D5821-95.
424.04 Mixing. Ensure the mixing plant conforms to 402. Discharge the mix from the plant at temperatures between 335°F to 370°F (168°C to 188°C) as required for good workability.
424.05 Weather Limitations. Do not place the asphalt concrete when the surface of the existing pavement is less than 60°F or the air temperature is less than 60°F.
424.06 Spreading and Finishing. Do not allow traffic on the compacted mixture until it has cooled sufficiently to prevent damage.
424.07 Surface Tolerances. Ensure the completed surface course conforms to 401.19.
424.08 Acceptance. Refer to Item 403 for acceptance requirements. Type A mixes will be accepted using the 301 procedures and Type B mixes will be accepted using the 448 procedures.
424.09 Basis of Payment. The Department will make payment for accepted quantities, completed in place, at the contract price for as follows:
