H. Temporary Pavement Repairs. Temporary pavement repair shall be hard surfacing hot or cold mix or steel plates placed over properly placed backfill material. Arterial and commercial streets will have temporary pavement repairs made at the close of each work day. Residential streets will have temporary pavement repairs completed at the close of each work day unless otherwise permitted under subsection (G) of this section.
I. Permanent Pavement Repairs. Permanent pavement repairs, as shown in American Public Works Association Standard Plan No. 18, shall be completed within 14 days of the start of excavation. Inspection will be required prior to placement of the P.C.C. spanning stab or prior to placement of the class “B” paving in cases when the P.C.C. spanning stab is not required. The marginal lines of all patches in permanent pavement will be trued with the use of a concrete saw or asphalt spade. When a patch will extend to within three feet of an expansion or construction joint said patch must be extended to the joint and finished so as to preserve the purpose of the joint.
J. Maintenance Responsibility. The contractor shall be responsible for the adequacy of the permanent pavement repairs. (Ord. 1885 § 1, 2015; Ord. 636 § 2, 1981. Formerly 12.12.020)
