Question
Question Date: 7/14/2020
The new Latex Overlay is 4" thick; does the 4" removal and subsequent overlay get carried all the way thru to the open joint or is it the intent to leave part of old deck on either side of the joint? If the 4" removal gets carried thru to the open joint it will have to be formed; how is this paid for; please advise. Is the forming of the new joint up to 4" deep incidental to the Latex Overlay or is it part of Bid Item 0050; please clarify. Please explain/clarify what will determine if Bid Item 0090 Reconstruct Expansion Joint will be paid for.

The actual latex over lay is variable. The milling operation will remove approximately 1.25”, the Hydro will then remove the failing and existing concrete to at least 1” below the top mat of steel or as directed by the Engineer during the demo operation as stated in Section 425 of the R&B Specs. The demo should continue thru the joints. In accordance with Section 425.03 paragraph 6 “Expansion joints and dams shall be maintained through the overlay. A bulkhead equal in thickness to the width of the joint shall be installed to the required grade and profile prior to concrete placement.” VDOT considers this incidental and is not measured for additional payment. Bid Item 0090 Reconstruct Expansion Joint will be marked by the Engineer during the Hydro or Milling operation and will be determined based on the condition of the existing joint. In essence if the deck or backwall has deteriorated to where additional forming above and beyond the bulkhead discussed above is required to reestablish the shape of the deck or backwall the LF of repair will be measured for payment under bid item 0090. 7/16/2020
