The street surface shall be permanently restored 12 inches beyond the excavation on all sides by milling the surface surrounding the excavation to a depth of two inches to extend the surface course restoration. The permanent restoration shall consist of a minimum of six inches of dense graded aggregate, four inches of bituminous stabilized base course and two inches of FABC-1 surface course applied with appropriate tack coat to the adjacent pavement surface or a pavement cross-section consistent to the existing pavement section.
