APPENDIX F UPDATED WORK PLAN FOR <strong>PHASE</strong> <strong>II</strong>I<br />
1.0 <strong>PHASE</strong> <strong>II</strong>I OBJECTIVE<br />
The objectives of Phase <strong>II</strong>I is to actually use mix designs in accordance with the procedures<br />
outlined in this report on projects identified by the states supporting this study. Attempts will be<br />
made to place these mixes in a variety of environmental and traffic conditions.<br />
2.0 GUIDELINES AND SPECIFICATIONS<br />
It was first estimated that by the end of Phase <strong>II</strong>, the work plan would be considered to be<br />
essentially final. Due to the cancellation of the project, additional research is anticipated before<br />
final guidelines and specifications can be produced. Much of the Reference Manual, 1.5-day<br />
training course and the “tailgate” training are near completion. This chapter describes what has<br />
been done and what remains to be done on the phase.<br />
3.0 PURPOSE OF <strong>PHASE</strong> <strong>II</strong>I STUDY<br />
The purpose of Phase <strong>II</strong>I is to validate that mixes designed in the laboratory, using the new and<br />
revised procedures as outlined in Phase <strong>II</strong>, can actually be built in the field. This chapter<br />
presents the proposed Work Plan to complete the following tasks, as outlined in the original<br />
proposal:<br />
• Develop guidelines and specifications for the proper use of slurry and microsurfacing.<br />
• Develop a workshop training program that includes a pre-construction module to<br />
educate and inform agency, contractor, and material supplier personnel of the new<br />
design procedures and constructability issues.<br />
• Construct and monitor pilot projects for the validation effort.<br />
• Revise the procedures or the training program based on test section field<br />
performance.<br />
• Prepare a Final Report documenting all the activities throughout the project.<br />
4.0 TASK 1: DEVELOPMENT OF GUIDELINES/SPECIFICATIONS<br />
During this phase of the work, the project team will develop guidelines that can be used by both<br />
contractor and agency personnel that will aid them in the proper selection of projects and the<br />
appropriate use of these treatments. For example, the guidelines for proper project selection<br />
will address issues such as type and condition of the existing pavement. These treatments are<br />
