Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	Moved to Ph IV based on review comments. 1/09 http://enr.construction.com/products/materials/2009/0204-Asphalt.asp	Feb 10, 2009	138
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	Y Approve	Cabinet has no price info in Annual bid prices for Standard Chip seal type treatments, let alone Microsurfacing. Cost of.45/sq ft equates to $4.05 sq yd, which is much greater(+25%) I can't see this application on long streches of KY HMA roads. It may have application for bridge decks as water proofing, although this is marketed here as skid improvement. If KY wishes to waterproof bridgedecks, Cabinet should consider standard Polymer Concrete that Virginia DOT has used for years. Quite similar to chip seal where polymer (I beleive High weight Methyl Methacralate) is sprayed on a clean(typically shotbalst first),sound (some cured patches are probably ok)deck and covered with an agreegate spread. I believe two applications. They have 20+ years of experience. Michael Sprinkel's research. This link is to a TRB 2007 presentation on a similar product http://www.cargillsafelane.com/documents/SprinkelCargillOLPres1.pdf	Oct 06, 2008	87
Maintenance	36 Wayne Simpson Agency	Y Approve		Oct 03, 2008	81
Ky Assoc. of Hwy Contractors	47 Michael LaRue Agency	Y Approve	We received no comments on this product and therefore give our approval for consideration of approval to use this product.	Sep 29, 2008	79
KYTC D6	62 Robert Hill Agency	U Undecided	Bridge deck overlays need waterproofing for longer than 10 years. We would like to see information on how the product responds to freeze and thaw cycles in a more northern state like Kentucky. There are no Phase II study results regarding the product as a wearing course. Need more information on durability, permeability, ability to handle heavier traffic loads, ESALS. Product doesn't appear to provide comparable structural value to that of an asphalt overlay. May be more suitable for driveways, park roads or sidewalks. Would require new equipment.	Sep 26, 2008	76
KYTC D8	66 Bruce Neely Agency	Y Approve		Sep 17, 2008	75
KYTC D9	48 Phil Mauney Agency	Y Approve	I would reccommend this product on small projects. I would suggest using on a city street where the color appearance would be a benefit as well as the skid properties where sudden stops are often encountered and would help by not having to mill the street.	Sep 16, 2008	73
KYTC D2	39 Brad Houck Agency	Y Approve		Sep 10, 2008	71
KYTC D3	60 Greg Meredith Agency	Y Approve	I agree that we should evaluate this product on a bridge deck overlay type application.	Sep 08, 2008	68
KYTC D1	41 Michael McGregor Agency	Y Approve	I think that it could be a useful product that we should give a try.	Sep 05, 2008	66
