From top of graded aggregate base backfill to bottom of paving, the backfill materials shall be flowable fill with a compressive strength of 200-250 psi in 48 hours. Flowable fill shall be placed a minimum of forty-eight (48) hours prior to the placing of the asphalt or concrete topping. Where it is impractical to use flowable fill because of terrain, slope, width of trench, or other situations, the material for the backfill in the roadway areas may be approved for cement treated aggregate base at the sole discretion of the City Engineer.
