MATCHING EXISTING WALKS

Where new walks are added adjacent to old brick walks the new concrete walks shall be carried to

the property line to grade. A tapered section shall then be constructed to the adjoining old brick

walks to prevent an un-uniformed step or obstruction. This section shall be removed at the time of

rounding tool and shall extend into the concrete at least 1/3 of the depth of the concrete or by

cutting entirely though the fresh concrete with a trowel. If sawed, the sawing can proceed as soon

as concrete will allow sawing without tearing the sawed edge.

FINISHING

Sidewalks shall be finished with a straight edge until the surface is brought to a true and uniform

section then finished with a wooden float with a light broom finish to provide a non-slip surface.

and replaced with new concrete driveway crossing when so designated on the contract drawings or

when new curb and gutter is to be installed as part of this contract.

curb or curb and gutter or as an existing culvert located in a ditch overtop of which has

been built up with an improved surface such as stone, concrete or asphalt.

specified above, shall be considered temporary driveways. If the property owner

desires to upgrade their driveway to permanent status, the property owner will be

installed during construction of the project. The property owner shall have the

Contractor install the new permanent driveway at the contract unit price. The property

owner will pay the Contractor for work for the new permanent driveway and payment

will be made before the work begins. This work will be considered a separate contract

between the property owner and the Contractor and DPW’s involvement will consist

of inspection duties only.

2.8 Concrete Sidewalk

The concrete sidewalk shall be screeded to a true surface, free from depressions and other

irregularities and shall be floated with a magnesium alloy float. After it has taken its original set,

it shall be floated again with a magnesium alloy float to produce a hard smooth finish free from

water. The surface shall be given a light broom finish acceptable to the Project Manager.

11

Should the sidewalk be too wide to properly finish from each side, it shall be bridged so that the

concrete will not be disturbed after it is screeded.

Wherever full width sidewalk is placed from the curb to the Property line, the sidewalk shall be

placed in alternate blocks. The size of these blocks shall be determined by the Inspector. Every

effort shall be made to maintain color and texture.

Entrance (Carriage) walks connecting with the City sidewalk that have to be cut off, shall be cut

with a concrete saw and all exposed ends faced up with concrete, leaving a neat appearing surface.

The cost of this work is to be included in the price bid for concrete sidewalk.

Preparation of Sub-grade – The sub-grade for new brick sidewalks, reconstructed brick sidewalks,

and sidewalks that replace existing concrete sidewalks shall be prepared by the removal and

satisfactory disposal of all unsuitable material above the normal sub-grade. All unsuitable material

shall include existing concrete sidewalk and existing brick sidewalk. Any material removed

above normal sub-grade shall be disposed of by the contractor in an area approved by the Project

Manager. No tree roots encountered above normal sub-grade will be cut unless approved by the

City Arborist.

Sub-grade shall be compacted to a theoretical density of 95% at optimum moisture (Standard

Proctor), and shall be graded off to a surface that will not vary more than ½‖ at any one point

from normal sub-grade. Wherever tree roots prevent excavation of existing ground surface to

normal sub-grade, sub-grade will be determined by the construction Inspector in the field.

Measurement and Payment

Payment for all new concrete sidewalk and for removal and replacement of existing walk with

new concrete sidewalk shall be made at the contract unit price bid per square yard for “4”

concrete sidewalk, complete in place (remove and replace existing sidewalk).

This work shall consist of restoring or installing new Granite Spall (a.k.a. Cobblestone).

Granite Spall – Granite Spall shall be from four (4) to seven and one-half (7 ½) inches deep, from

three (3) to (6) inches wide and from three (3) to ten (10) inches long. The sides shall permit

lying with joints, not over three-quarters (3/4) of an inch in width, and joints of that shall be

exceptional. The upper face shall be uniform to permit laying to the general surface of the

shall be a maximum of two (2) inches thick.

Cobblestone or brick shall be place on a dry mortar bed. Level the area under the bricks. Smooth

the sanded area under the sidewalk and add or remove more sand if necessary to bring the area level

with the rest of the bricks.

12

Tamp down the sand. Use one of the bricks to tamp down the sand until it is hard and flat. If there

are still uneven spots, add or remove more sand and tamp it down again.

Fill in the hole with bricks. Use the old bricks where possible, and replace any broken bricks with

identically measured new ones. Keep to the existing pattern. You should have no trouble simply

pushing the bricks into place until you reach the final brick. This likely will be a tight squeeze,

and you may need to tap it into place with the rubber mallet.

Fill in the areas around the bricks with sand. Sprinkle the sand over the joints in the bricks and

then push it in by hand. Once you have forced as much sand as possible into the joints, you can

sweep off the walkway. The sand will hold the brick repair in place, and your brick sidewalk

should look as good--or better--than new.

If the inspector determines that concrete bedding is required, the concrete shall be paid as a separate

pay item based on depth.

2.10 New Brick Sidewalk on Concrete Base

Brands of Brick – Brick for new sidewalks and sidewalks that replace existing concrete sidewalks

shall be a North Carolina Common, Lawrenceville Common, or an approved equal provided by

in the brick sidewalk area, a tree box shall be formed with the bricks which are to be used in the

brick sidewalk. The tree box shall be 5’ by 5’ (unless otherwise noted on the drawings), and shall

be formed by embedding bricks on side, end to end, in 2” of a 1:3 cement mortar. The Construction

Inspector will determine in the field the exact location and size of any required tree boxes. The

cost of the tree boxes shall be included in the unit price bid for Brick Sidewalk.

Laying Brick – Bricks shall be stored in areas designated by the Construction Inspector. All bricks

shall be carefully laid with the best face up in the pattern notes on the contract drawings or

designated by the Project Manager. Bricks shall be cut, not broken, using a high-speed masonry

saw producing clean, sharp edges.

The bricks shall be laid with a uniform 1/8” joint between each brick, and joints shall be filled with

a 1:3 cement-sand mixture. Sand used for filling joints shall be very fine in gradation and Cement

shall be Portland cement with conforms to ASTM C150. Wooden mallets or the wooden end

of a brick mason’s Hammer will be used to strike each brick to insure a proper set during placement

of the bricks and after sweeping the cement-sand mixture into the joints.

2.11 New Brick Sidewalk on Cement – Sand Bedding

Back Face of Sidewalk – Wherever curb or an adjoining property wall do not exist on the property

line of a new brick sidewalk or sidewalks that replace existing concrete or existing brick sidewalks,

a retaining row of bricks shall be set for the purpose of preventing the new brick sidewalk from

failure due to movement. This retaining row of bricks shall be formed by setting new sidewalk

brick on end, side to side, in a row along the back edge of the sidewalk. The lower portions of the

retaining row of bricks shall be embedded in 2” of a 1:3 cement mortar. The cost of the retaining

row of bricks shall be included in the unit prices for brick sidewalk and will be shown on the

drawings when needed.

13
