Animal Control Facility Asphalt Paving Project

Paving of a new wearing course of asphalt on the main parking lot and drive and the employee only drive at the Monroe County Animal Control, 911 South Raisinville Road, Monroe, MI 48161. 1. Clean and remove all loose debris on the parking lot and drive surfaces. 2. Dress back the edges and remove any and all grass and or weeds at the edges. 3. Asphalt pavement shall be placed to the edge of the existing asphalt generally and where indicated with stakes and/or marked with line marking paint. A grass strip exists on the west side of the building between the foundation and existing asphalt driveway. Under this proposal, include new paving material to pave right up to the edge of the building. There should be no gap between the pavement and the building block exterior wall. For the drive approaches entering the site from the service drive off Raisinville Road, the approach shall include sweeping radius corners to provide an asphalt surface for vehicle turning. 4. Repair all minor cracks and depressions in the existing surfaces (surface is in poor condition). 5. Severely damaged asphalt must be more thoroughly repaired and patched prior to the new course being installed. In the alternative, the damaged asphalt may be removed and the area filled with crushed stone and compacted. 6. Install a tack or bond coat of MS-2a or SS-1H on existing pavement prior to installation and placement of new wearing course. 7. Install the asphalt wearing course in compacted thickness of 3” as specified over bond coat.

Protect paving from driving for a minimum of twenty four (24) hours after completion. 9. Install final striping in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Lines shall be 4” wide and according to the prevailing code. The existing layout is to be copied onto the new surface or as may be directed differently by the County.
