- Joint sealing and spall repair on rigid (concrete) pavements - this standard addresses flexible (asphalt) surfaces only.
## Full-depth structural patching of failed base or subgrade areas is a separate scope that shall be completed before surface rehabilitation begins; that patching is performed under [[sync/asphalt-paving]] and is not part of the surface treatment bid. {note}

## Milling depth shall be controlled to correct cross-slope and re-establish positive drainage to inlets and channels, not merely to mill a constant thickness off the existing profile.
## Edge and joint transitions at curb ramps, utility frames, drainage structures, and building entry aprons shall match the adjacent finished grade so that the grade change from milling does not create a trip hazard or an out-of-tolerance accessible route.
## After milling and overlay, accessible routes, curb ramps, and accessible parking stalls shall not exceed a 2.0% cross-slope, verified against the civil drawings at every ramp and stall.
## Finish grade at accessible routes, curb ramps, and accessible parking stalls shall be coordinated with the civil scope under [[sync/site-rough-grading]].
## Select milling depth and edge treatment. {note}

# Hot-Mix Asphalt Overlay {toc}
2 unchanged lines
## A tack (bond) coat shall be applied to the milled surface before the overlay; the tack coat shall be allowed to break and cure before paving, and shall not be tracked off the surface.
## Tack coat omission or under-application on a milled surface causes delamination of the overlay; the tack coat type and application rate shall be specified and verified, not left to the paving crew's discretion. {note}

## The overlay-to-mill-depth ratio shall be a minimum of 3:1 to control longitudinal and reflective cracking; a thin overlay shall not be placed over a deep mill.

## All cracks shall be cleaned of vegetation, dirt, and moisture (compressed air, hot air lance, or wire wheel as appropriate) immediately before sealant is placed.
2 unchanged lines
## Hot-applied crack sealant shall conform to the type required by ASTM D6690-21, or to ASTM D3405 where the project specifies the stricter low-temperature requirements.
## Sealant shall be finished recessed approximately 1/8 in. below the pavement surface (flush to a maximum of 1/4 in. below); overbanding shall not be used where the pavement is scheduled for future milling.
## Cold-applied crack filler (pourable, asphalt-based) shall be used only for non-working cracks narrower than approximately 1/4 in.; it shall not be substituted for hot-applied sealant on working cracks.
## Select crack treatment type and reservoir. {note}
