3.4 Placing and Finishing Concrete: Concrete shall be placed on a moist
shbgrade . Concrete mixed to the proper consistency shall be deposited on
the prepared subgrade rapidly in successive batches by means of a discharging
device and in a manner which will not cause separation in the mix and
shall be distributed to the required depth and for the entire width of
the pavement by shoveling or other approved methods. Rakes shall not be
used -.in handling concrete. Concrete adjacent to joints shall be deposited
on the subgrade as near to the joints as possible without touching them.
It shall then be shoveled against both sides of the joint simultaneously
maintaining equal pressure on both sides. After placing, the concrete
shall be leveled and immediately struck off by means of an approved trans-
verse mechanical finishing machine or by approved hand methods by using
• steel screed weighing not less than four hundred (400) pounds and having
• face resting on the forms of not less than ten (10) inches in width.
The templet shall be shaped to the desired cross--section and have suf-
ficient strength to retain its shape under working conditions . The

motion. If necessary, the cep:=p]at chall be used a second time or until
a true surface is obtained. All concrete adjacent to forms or other
surfaces shall be thoroughly spaded so as ;;n ',ring sufficient mortar to
the face of the surfaces to eliminate ho-L,e,_o,,'oing. After the concrete
has been screeded it shall be finished as follows:
The concrete shall be floated with a wooden transverse
float and the float shall be moved forward with a combined
longitudinal and crosswise motion. The float shall be
used until all free water has been removed and the sur-
face presents a smooth appearance. After floating with
the transverse wooden float, the concrete shall then be
finished with sixteen (16) foot longitudinal float or
by an approved mechanical longitudinal float. The de-
sired finish may be put on the concrete by means of a
hand belt, burlap or other approved methods. The outer
edge of the concrete shall be tool rounded. The outer
edge of the concrete shall be tested with a sixteen (16)
foot straight edge, laid parallel to the edge of the
pavement so as to bridge any depression. Any irregu-
larities exceeding one-eighth (1/8) o= an inch shall
be corrected.

testing agency, but payment will be made by the contractor. The laboratory will
send the original report to the owner and copies to the contractor, of all re-
ports covering the plant's operations.
3. CONSTRUCTION METHODS
3.1 Sub-grade: All boulders, organic material, soft clay, spongy material=
and any other objectionable material shall be removed and replaced with
approved material. The subgrade shall be properly shaped, rolled and uni-
formly compacted to conform with the accepted crass--sections and grades
to 90% of Standard Proctor. Immediately prior to placing the asphalt for
the street, the contractor, at his own expense, shall furnish the City a
report from an approved testing laboratory, showing that the asphalt con-
forms to all specifications of the City of Euless in regard to gradation
and other technical specifications, such testing locations shall be se-
lected by the City Engineer or City Inspector, but not more than two to
each block to be paved.
3.2 Spreading and Finishing: Each course shall be spread and finished
as follows: The bituminous base mixture shall be spread and finished im-
mediately after the sub-grade has been properly shaped and cleaned. Where
cement or masonry edging is not specified on the accepted plans, suitable
side forms of wood or steel shall be firmly fastened in place and shall be
true to line and grade as shown on the accepted plans. These forms shall
remain in place until initial compaction has been obtained.
The bituminous mixture shall be delivered on the job at a temperature of
not less than 250 deg. F. Whenever practical, the mixture shall be spread
by means of an approved L• Lhanical self--powered paver, capable of spread-
ing the mixture true to the line and grade and crown as shown on the ac-
cepted plans and cross-section.
When the mixture is to be spread by hand, it shall be deposited outside
of the area on which it is to be spread. Immediately thereafter, it shall
be distributed into place by means of hot shovels and spread with hot
rakes in a loose layer of uniform density and correct depth. Loads shall
not be dumped and distributed any faster than they can be properly handled
by the shovelers and rakers. The raking shall be carefully and skill-
fully done in such a manner that after the first passage of the roller
over the raked mixture, a minimum amount of back patching will be required.
- ll -
Placing of the mixture shall be as continuous as possible and the roller
shall pass over the unprotected edge of the fresh laid mixture only when
the laying of the course is to be discontinued for such length of time
as to permit the mixture to become chilled.
Longitudinal and transverse joints shall be well bonded and sealed. If
necessary to obtain this result the ,joints shall be cut back to the full
depth of the previously laid course, painted with RC--2 asphalt. Before
placing the mixture against them, all contact surfaces of curbs, gutters,
headers, manholes, etc ., shall be painted with a thin uniform coating
of RC-2 asphalt or asphalt cement dissolved in naptha.
3.3 Compaction: After spreading, the mixture shall be thoroughly com-
pacted by a tandem power driven roller, weighing not less than ten (10)
tons, as soon after being spread as it will bear the roller without undue
displacement. Rolling shall start longitudinally at the sides and pro-
d ceed toward the center of the pavement overlapping on the successive
trips by at least one-half the width of the wheel. The pavement shall
be rolled diagonally in two directions with a tandem roller, weighing
not less than ten (10) tons, the second diagonal rolling shall cross
the lines of the first. Phenumatic rollers shall be used for final
rolling, satisfactory to the Engineer.
Along curbs, headers, manholes and similar structures and at all places
not accessible to the roller, thorough compaction must be secured by
means of hot tempers and at all contacts of this character the ,joints
between these structures and the surface mixture must be effectively
sealed.
Field density samples shall be taken by the contractor for density and
extraction tests. The density of the completed pavement shall be not
less than 92.00 or more than 98.0 of the theoretical density computed
from the ,job mix formula or bin weights used.
4. SEASONAL LIMITS:
4.1 No asphalt material shall be laid when the temperature of the air
is 50 deg. F. and fallir.,, or during unfavorable weather conditions, or
as directed by the Engineer.
7.
Any street installation, when made, shall become the property of the
City of Euless, Texas, free and clear of all encumbrances. No building permits
nor any water, sewer, plumbing or electrical permits shall be issued to the
owner or any other person with respect to any property in any subdivision
covered by this ordinance until:
A.
Such time as the Developer and/or Owner shall have completely constructed
12 -
and installed the streets with proper paving, curbs and gutters, all in ac-
cordance with the specifications of this ordinance and accepted by the City; or
B.
Until an escrow deposit sufficient to pay for the cost of such street
improvements as determined by the City Engineer, computed on a private com-
mission rate basis has been made with the City Secretary, accompanied by an
agreement signed by the Developer and/or Owner, authorizing the City to make
such improvements at prevailing private contract rates and pay for same out of
the escrow deposit, should the developer and/or owner fail or refuse to in-
stall the required street improvements within the time stated in such written
agreement, but in no case shall the City be obligated to make such improvements
itself. Such deposit may be used by the owner or developer as progress pay-
ments as the work progresses in making such improvements by making certified
requisitions to the City Secretary supported by evidence of the work done; or
C.
Until the developer and/or owner and/or contractor or contractors per-
forming or to perform such street improvements for the developer and/or owner
files a corporate bond with the City Secretary in favor of the City in the
amount equal to the cost of such street improvements for the designated area
guaranteeing the installation thereof within the time stated in the bond. In
the event two or more contractors performing or to perform such improvements
for the developer and/or owner, then each such contractor shall file with the
City Secretary the above specified bonds in the amount of the cost of the
street improvements to be performed by each, provided however, that no building
permits, nor any water, sewer, plunbing or electrical permits shall be issued
until all such contractors performing or to perform such improvements for the
developer and/or owner have filed such bonds in accordance herewith. Such
bonds so filed under this provision shall be furnished by a Surety Corporation
authorized to do business in Texas, pursuant to Chapter Seven (7), Insurance
