over the mineral aggregate and thoroughly mixed to produce a homogeneous mixture
in which all particles of the mineral aggregate are coated uniformly.

 Transportation and Delivery of Mixture: The mixture shall be transported from the
mixing plant to the point of use in vehicles.

 Spreading and Finishing: The mixture shall be laid upon an approved surface and only
when weather conditions are considered suitable. the Contractor shall use approved
spreading equipment or acceptable hand methods

 Compaction: Immediately after spreading, the surface shall be checked and any
inequalities adjusted. The mixture shall then be thoroughly and uniformly compacted
by rolling. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept
properly moistened, excess water will not be permitted. The surface of the mixture
after compaction shall be smooth and to the level.
