Procurement DocumentsTechnical reportsThe Corps of Engineers has published two technical reports on the researchand construction experiences of RMP:AConstruction and Evaluation of <strong>Resin</strong> <strong>Modified</strong> <strong>Pavement</strong>,@ Technical ReportGL-91-13, USAE Waterways Experiment Station, 1991 (Ahlrich andAnderton 1991b).ADesign, Construction, and Performance of <strong>Resin</strong> <strong>Modified</strong> <strong>Pavement</strong> at FortCampbell Army Airfield, Kentucky,@ Technical Report GL-94-5, USAEWaterways Experiment Station, 1994 (Anderton and Ahlrich 1994).Applicable specificationsSeveral guide specifications are available to provide assistance in completingan RMP construction project. One of two applicable guide specifications is to beused for the construction of the AC layer beneath the RMP surfacing (unless theRMP is to be overlaid directly over an existing pavement surface). The choice ofasphalt concrete specifications will depend upon the traffic requirements. Thereis also a guide specification available for the construction of the RMP layer itself.These specifications are as listed below:CEGS-02551, ABituminous Paving for Roads, Streets, and Open StorageAreas (Central Plant Hot Mix),@ Department of the Army, Corps of EngineersGuide Specification, Washington, DC, April 1989 (Headquarters, Department ofthe Army 1989).CEGS-02556, AAsphaltic Bituminous Heavy-Duty <strong>Pavement</strong> (Central-PlantHot Mix),@ Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers Guide Specification,Washington, DC, June 1991 (Headquarters, Department of the Army 1991).CEGS-02548, A<strong>Resin</strong> <strong>Modified</strong> <strong>Pavement</strong>,@ Department of the Army, Corpsof Engineers Guide Specification, Washington DC, October 1993 (Headquarters,Department of the Army 1993).GSA listingNoneVendors list and recent pricesLocal contractors with experience in AC paving and PCC production shouldbe able to successfully construct an RMP. Recent RMP construction projectsindicate a price range of $9.60 to 19.20 per square meter ($8 to 16 per squareyard) for a 50-mm- (2-in.-) thick RMP layer in place. Prices for any underlyingAC, base course, and subbase course layers should be based upon recent local bidexperiences.G - 33
