Inquiry #1: In the special provisions, a paragraph is replaced in Section 39-3.04A which states that cold planing and HMA placement must occur during the same shift at Repair Failed area locations. Does this mean that cold planning and placing of HMA can occur during different shifts at other locations? And if so, how long can the cold planed surface be left open?

Response #1:Submitted for consideration.
