P.C.C. in utility trench patches shall be placed to a depth matching the existing <br />pavement or seven (7) inches, whichever is greater. Where the existing pavement <br />is P.C.C. over Cement Treated Base (C.T.B.) or Asphalt Treated Base (A.T.B.), <br />replacement depth shall be the combined depth of the P.C.C. and C.T.B. or A.T.B. <br />3. Where the replacement P.C.C. on the outside edge of an alley abuts A.C. a <br />minimum of 24 inches of A.C. shall be removed to allow sufficient room for the <br />placement of the alley concrete forms and proper compaction of asphalt restoration. <br />Where the alley outside edge abutting material is P.C.C., a full length expansion <br />.joint shall be placed. <br />4.

Utility trenches patched with P.C.C. shall be kept free of traffic or other detrimental <br />trespass through use of suitable barriers and other traffic control devices for a <br />minimum period of seven (7) days. An alternative using 9.0 sacks of portland <br />cement per cubic yard of concrete allows the traffic to be returned after a minimum <br />period of (3) days. <br />6. Pavement cuts encountering P.C.C. overlaid by asphalt concrete may be replaced <br />by full depth asphalt concrete. <br />7. Internal vibration shall be used to consolidate P.C.C. which is being placed in <br />depths greater than seven (7) inches. <br />3.B.2 Asphalt Cement Concrete Streets <br />In addition to general requirements 1 through 20 given in section 3.B above, work within <br />Asphalt Cement Concrete (A.C.) streets and alleys shall conform to the following <br />requirements: <br />Utility & R/W Permit Policy 20 02/09/98 <br />
