Re:
LAYTEX MODIFIED EMULSIFIED ASPHALT PAVEMENT
Notice to Bidders - Review of Bids Received
Dear Ray:
As per your request, I have reviewed two bid packages that
were submitted by different contractors concerning the above
referenced notice to bidders, I have compared both bids with the
original bid specifications and have come to the fo]lowing
conclusion,
Mr. Gannon, of Thos. H. Gannon and Sons, Inc., has suggested
that the Bid of Paul Corazzini, Jr. and Sons does not meet the
specifications that were published by the Town. The written bid
specifications require an Emulsified Asphalt with a specific brand
name cai]ed "Ra]umac" as Manufactured by Koch Materials Company.
This would be an example of Proprietary bidding. Any and ail bids
receiver with an approved equivalent product should be considered
va]id. The product specified by Mr. Corazzini is cai]ed
"Macrosea]" This material appears to meet the industry
requirements of the Micro-Surfacing Emu]sion.
If you have any questions or require any additional
information regarding this product, please contact my office.

Re: Gannon & Sons Later
Dear Sir,
In r~ference to the mix design and the letter submitted to the Town of Southold, I would offer the
following comments:
The specifications do indeed call for Ralumac. In fact, the specifications call for Ralumac by Koch
materials. This is simply a form ofproprieta~y bidding. Koch is the local distributor of Rainmac and
purchased the rights in your area to make this product. Ralumae is one of several forms of
Mierosurfacing. Rainmac is a brand name.
The material you are proposing to use is also a Microsuffaoing, trade named Macroseal, Of the four most
common microsurfacing systems in the world, Ralmna~ and Macwseai ar~ the two most h=ard of. Being
the mos heard of docs not always translate into thc best although both o£these products have a history
'of ~tisfactory re~lts,
Thc issu= of natural robber latex is not a valid argument. Both systems are designed to be able to use
nettu'al rubber or synthetic rubber and in the pest they used to prefer the use of natural robber. Ifl
remember correctly, a study which has been taking place over the past two years by Koch Materials
Technical division has shown no discernible difference between the two when used properly. Both
systems used secret emulsifiers to accomplish the desired results. Both are forms of imidazolines.
Mr. Cannon is in error when he states that tbe mix you propose is not a microsuffacing. I have used both
materials for years arid there are hundreds ofr~fcfanccs for both, I would treat them as equsls.
Mr. C~nnon also did not read the mix design closely. I do not know if this is the actual rock you are
going tO use but il'so, it ia a typo two mate~al. The confusion comes from the fhet that £rgon (the testing
lab) rtms ell their tests using a Type III standard, Type III is the normal standard for a micmsurfacing,
Type II mt=rosur~ac~,,g in rare. Your mix design was done on a Type 11 material as reflected in the
gradation numbers. All other figures are valid.
Tbe issue ofmachlner~ not being owned is true, not by your fault. We have arranged for you to have
machinery, one brand new and one not yet a year old. This is the most advanc~ machinery on the
market today and easily outperforms any other equipment available. The ownership fact should not be an
.i~ue. The people with the experience is not the Wisconsin qontractor but us, CPM. If the Town would
Koc ,t, iais on cpM. har y to uppiy so.

Re; Southold, N. Y. Mlcro~ufecing Project
Regarding your question of synthetic latex versus natural latex in a
microsurfacing system, I have the following comments.
The mix design you have was completed with the raw materiels intended for use
in the production of the microsurfeoing mixture that will be used on this project,
As the design shows, the mixture peues all performance and compatibility tests
suggested by the ISSA to insure a quality product.
The state of New York has one of the best specifications in place for
mio'osurfacing that you will find in North America. Your mix design exceeds all
of these rigid specifications,
There may well I:)e certain ways to test the physical properties of a polymer
modified that show one latex to be "better" than another. You should realize
however, that these test~ do not necessarily indicate barfer performance in
micro~urfacing mixture.
I would also point out that there are hundreds of thousands of tons of
micrcaurfecing in place throughout the United States using the same synthetic
latex as you will use for this project. There are no i~'oblems associated with its
use to date.
Finally I would point out that there are no states which specify a particular type
of latex for these systems. The reason for this is that both types of latex make a
quality microsurfecing product.
Sincerely,
Mark Ishee

Re: Micro-surfacing
Dear Mr. Jacobs,
Regarding the bid submitted by Corazzini & Sons for the
application of micro-surfacing to Town roads, we would like to
address the following areas.
The specification, as published by the Town, calls for the paving
material to be "Ralumac" micro-surfacing. This micro-surfacing
system uses a specialized micro-surfacing emulsion (MSE) which
incorporates natural rubber latex. The natural rubber latex is
milled into the emulsion, as called for in the specification. This
emulsion was specified by Thos. H. Gannon & Sons, Inc. and all
supporting paper work was supplied. The bid price submitted by
Thos. H. Gannon & Sons, Inc. is based on supplying the materials as
specified, the natural rubber milled into the emulsion is more
expensive than synthetic latex, if we were to use another emulsion
which did not meet your specification our bid price could certainly
have been lower. Tests have shown the advantages of natural rubber
latex emulsion used in micro-surfacing.
The Ergon micro-surfacing system specified by Corazzini & Sons
uses a CSS-IH emulsion with synthetic latex added. This material
does not meet the published specification, and is less expensive to
manufacture.
The aggregate specified by the Town is a Type II aggregate which
must meet a certain gradation. Thos. H. Gannon & Sons, Inc. uses a
Type II aggregate meeting the specification. Corazzini & Sons has
submitted a mix design using a Type III aggregate which does not
meet the Town specification.
The Town specification calls for the contractor to meet certain
qualifications and provide submittals as evidence of being a bona
fide micro-surfacing contractor. Thos. H. Gannon & Sons, Inc. meets
or exceeds the specification on every level.
Corazzini & Sons has no experience in the application of micro-
surfacing. The technical information provided was developed for New
York Bituminous Co. of Chester, N.Y. They do not own any micro-
surfacing equipment. They propose to rent or borrow equipment from
a Wisconsin company who have little,if any, experience in applying
micro-surfacing.
It is for these reasons, and to insure that the Town of Southold
continues to get the type of material specified, that we
respectfully ask an award be made to Thos. M. Gannon & Sons, Inc.
as the lowest responsible bidder for the application of micro-
surfacing.
Very truly yours,
President

Discussion.
Standard trial mixes, 30 and 60 minute cohesions with 0/~.4
aggregate gradation and 13% asphalt emulsion were performed to
determine mixing and setting characteristics, The effect of 0,0 to
2.0% Portland cement on cohesion values determined Portland
cement filler requirements at 0.80 - 1.00% Portland cement at
13.0% asphalt emulsion,
The 60 C cured cohesion values were adequate.
The optimum AE content of 13% at 65.4% residue is selected. At
65.4% residue the optimum AC content is 8.50% added or 7.78%
extracted. This aggregate is recommended for rut-fill in multi-layer
applications only. ( Single layer applications followed by traffic
compaction.)

Equimment. All equipment, tools and machines used in the
performance of this work shall be maintained in satisfactory
working order at all times. Descriptive information on the mixing
and application equipment to be used shall be submitted for
approval not less than 10 days before work starts.
(a) Mixing Equipment - The material shall be mixed by a mixing
machine which shall be a continuous-flow ~ixing unit able to
accurately deliver and proportion the aggregate, emulsified
asphalt, mineral filler, field control additive and water to a
revolving multi-blade mixer and discharge the thoroughly mixed
product on a continuous basis. The machine shall have sufficient
storage capacity for aggregate, emulsified asphalt, mineral filler,
field control additive and water, to maintain an adequate supply to
the proportioning controls.
(b) Proportioning Devices - Individual volume or weight controls
for proportioning each material to 'be added to the mix shall be
provided. Each material control device shall be so calibrated and
properly marked. They shall be accessible for ready calibration and
to be equipped with a revolution counter or similar device so that
the engineer may determine the amount of each material used at any
time.
(c) Emulsion Pump - The emulsion pump shall be a heated positive
displacement type.
(d) Spreading Equipment - The paving mixture shall be spread
uniformly by means of a mechanical type squeegee box, equipped with
paddles to agitate and spread the materials throughout the box. The
equipment shall provide sufficient turbulence to prevent the mix
from setting in the box or causing excessive side buildup or lumps.
Flexible seals shall be in contact with the road surface to prevent
loss of mixture from the box. The rear seal shall act as a final
strike off and shall be adjustable. The contractor shall operate
the spreading equipment in such a manner to prevent the loss of
mixture on super-elevated curves. The mixture shall be spread to
fill cracks and minor surface irregularities and leave a uniform
skid-resistant surface without causing skips, lumps or tears in the
finished surface.
~e) Roller - The roller, if required, shall be a self-propelled, i0
ton pneumatic tired roller capable of exerting a contact pressure
during rolling of 50 pounds per square inch.
If) Auxiliary Equipment - Other tools or equipment such as brushes,
hand squeegees, hose equipment, tank trucks water distributors and
flushers, power blowers, barricades, etc., shall be provided as
required.
Machine Calibration. Each mixing unit to be used in the performance
of the work shall be calibrated in the presence of the engineer
prior to construction, or previous calibration documentation
covering the exact materials to be used may be acceptable provided
they were made during the calendar year.
Weather Limitations. The material shall be ~pread only when the
road surface and atmospheric temperatures are at least 45 degrees
F. and rising and the weather is not foggy or rainy and there is nc
forecast of temperatures below 32 degrees F. within 48 hours from
the time of placement of the mixture.
Surface Preoaration. The area to be surfaced shall be thoroughly
cleaned of vegetation, loose aggregate, dirt, grease, oil or any
type of objectionable surface film. Manholes, valve boxes and other
service entrances shall be protected from the surfacing material.
~ockoiles. Precautions shall be taken to insure that stockpiles
do not become contaminated. Stockpiles shall be kept in areas that
drain readily.
~oLication. The surface shall be pre-wetted by fogging ahead of
the spreader box. The entire surface should be damp with no
apparent flowing water in front of the box.
The surfacing mixture shall be of the desired consistency upon
leaving the mixer and no additional materials should be added.
A sufficient amount of material shall be carried in all parts of
the spreader at all times so that a complete coverage is obtained.
Overloading of the spreader box should be avoided. No lumping.
balling, or unmixed aggregate shall be permitted. No streaks, such
as those caused by oversized aggregate, will be left in the
finished surface. If excess oversize develops, the Job will be
stopped until the contractor proves to the engineer that the
situation has been corrected.
No excess buildup, uncovered areas or unsightly appearances shall
be permitted on longitudinal or transverse Joints. The contractor
shall provide suitable width spreading equipment to produce a
minimum number of joints.
T}~e finished surface shall present a uniform and skid resistant
texture satisfactory to the engineer.
Areas which cannot be reached with the mixing machine shall be
surfaced using hand squeegees to provide complete and uniform
coverage. The area to be handworked shall be lightly dampened prior
to the mix placement. Care shall be exercised to leave, no unsightly
appearance from handwork.
~qalitv Control. The contractor will permit the engineer to take
samples cf the aggregate and asphalt emulsion to be used in the
project at the engineers discretion. Gradation and sand equivalent
tests may be run on the aggregate and residual asphalt tests on the
emulsion. Test results will be compared to the specifications.
Samples of the mixture could be taken daily. Consistency and
residual asphalt content tests may be made on the samples and
compared to the specifications. The contractbr will be notified
immediately if any test fails to meet the specifications.
If any two successive tests on the material fail, the Job shall
be stopped. If any two successive tests on the mix from the same
machine fail, the use of that machine will be suspended.
Traffic Maintenance. The contractor shall ne responsible for
providing maintenance and protection of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic associated with this work.
Method of Measurement. The quantity to be paid for under this item
shall be the number of square yards of pavement covered in
accordance with the specification.
Ba,%i_S of Payment. Payment shall be made at the contract unit price
per square yard. The price shall be full compensation for
furnishing all materials, for preparing, mixing and applying these
materials, traffic control and all labor, equipment, tools and
incidentals necessary to complete the work.
