Work Details The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and materials (with the exception of those listed as provided by the government) to perform all work required to sealcoat an asphalt surfaced hiking trail.

The surface must be free of all foreign material and dry immediately prior to sealcoat application. Cleaning methods may include air blowing, vacuuming, mechanical sweeping, washing, or other approved techniques. Areas of structurally unsound asphalt concrete such as alligator cracking or low spots must be repaired prior to sealcoat placement. Application of the asphalt sealcoat shall be by mechanical means using rubber faced squeegees or brooms. The application must be uniform and free flowing without lumps or inconsistencies. Traffic shall not be allowed on the sealcoat until it is thoroughly cured, which takes approximately 24 hours in warm weather conditions.
