75% of joint width, but neither more than 0.625" deep nor less than 0.375" deep. Seal over
expansion joint filler with poured sealant.
E. Workmanship: Employ only proven installation techniques, which will ensure that sealants will be
deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets, with complete OwettingO of
the joint bond surfaces equally on opposite sides. Except as otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet
to a slightly concave surface, slightly below adjoining surfaces. Where horizontal joints are
between a horizontal surface and a vertical surface, fill joint to form a slight cove, so that joint will
not trap moisture and dirt.
F. Joint Sizes: Install sealants to depths as indicated or, as recommended by the sealant manufacturer
but within the following general limitations:
1. For normal moving joints sealed with elastomeric sealants but not subject to traffic, fill
joints to a depth equal to 50% of joint width, but, not more than 1/2" deep or less than
1/4" deep.
2. For joints sealed with non-elastomeric sealants and caulking compounds, fill joints to a
depth in the range of 75% to 125% of joint width.
G. Spillage:
1. Do not allow sealants or compounds to overflow or spill onto adjoining surfaces, or to
migrate into the voids of adjoining surfaces. Use masking tape or other precautionary
devices to prevent staining of adjoining surfaces, by either the primer/sealer or the
sealant.
2. Remove excess and spillage of compounds promptly as the work progresses. Clean the
adjoining surfaces by whatever means may be necessary to eliminate evidence of
spillage. Do not damage the adjoining surfaces or finishes.
3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Samples: Where directed by the Architect, cut out and remove a total of three samples consisting
of the undisturbed sealant and back-up material from the joint. Samples shall be 6" in length.

President/Principal Engineer
Subject: Geotechnical Investigation
Rolland Moore Park Bridge
Fort Collins, Colorado
CTL I Thompson Project No. FC03551-130-L2
Secure:
The City of Fort Collins Cultural, Library, and Recreation Services Department
has proposed a pedestrian bridge across a canal on the south side of Rolland Moore
Park. The bridge will replace a shorter bridge that is Immediately to the west. CTL I
Thompson was retained to provide the engineering services for the abutment design.
CTL I Thompson has performed the geotechnical investigation and has retained
Secure Foundations, LLC to complete the abutment design.
A premanufactured bridge approximately 12 feet wide and 60 feet long is
proposed for the site. The client would prefer to found the bridge upon helix piers.
Traffic on the bridge will likely be mostly pedestrian and bicycle and an occasional
small maintenance vehicle. Currently the site is lightly vegetated. The canal is
approximately 8 feet deep and 12 feet wide. At the time of this investigation the water
was about 3 feet deep.
On August 2 and 4, 2005 two borings were advanced in the area of the
proposed bridge. The locations of these borings are shown on Figure 1 attached.
The borings were drilled to depths of 30 feet using a 4-inch diameter, continuous
flight power auger on a truck -mounted rig. Samples were obtained by our
representative at various depths and returned to our lab for inspection by the
geotechnical engineer for this project. Field resistivity tests were preformed and
various samples were selected for laboratory testing Including natural moisture
content, dry density, atterberg limits, gradation analysis, swell -consolidation and pH.
The soils penetrated by our borings were as follows. TH-1 penetrated 9 feetof
stiff, sandy clay fill over 10 feet of medium dense, silty sands underlain by hard
claystone. TH-2 penetrated 6 feet of medium stiff, sandy clay fill over 9 feet of medium
stiff, silty clays and 5 feet of medium dense, silty sands underlain by hard claystone.
Groundwater was not encountered at the time we drilled the borings. Graphical logs
of the borings, including results of field penetration resistance tests, are presented on
Figure 2 attached. The average resistivity of the soils was 3500 ohm -cm. This

capacity of the piles. For purpose of design, we believe the following geotechnical
criteria can be used in the L-pile method.

The above design values for the L-pile method do not include a factor of safety.
Helix piers can be designed to the following criteria.
Helix Piers
1. Commonly available helix pier systems have maximum working
capacities in the range of 30 to 50 kips. The design allowable load
(a.k.a. working load) should be shown on the plans for each pier
location. Helix piers should be installed to the required installation
torque so as to achieve an ultimate capacity defined using a minimum
factor of safety of two with respect to the design allowable loads
shown on the plans.
2. The number and size of helix blades should be determined by the
contractor to achieve the required torque and compressive capacityfor
the conditions at this site. However, the ratio of the design allowable
capacity for helix piers to the total area of the helix blades should not
SECURE FOUNDATIONS, LLC
ROLLAND MOORE PARK BRIDGE 2
CTL I T PROJECT NO. FC03551.130
exceed the allowable subsurface material bearing capacity. The
allowable subsurface material bearing capacity is Judged to be 7500 psf
between 89 and 95 feet In elevation and 35 ksf for the claystone below
89 feet in elevation.
3. Helix piers should be spaced at least 4 pier diameters apart center to
center or they should be designed as a group. If group design criteria
are needed, please call.
4. The minimum length of the helix piers, as measured as the distance
from the pier cap to the helical blade, should be below the thalweg of
the canal, which is a minimum of 8 feet below the existing ground
surface. Helix piers should be installed as close to vertical as possible.
5. The locations and angle of installation shall be clearly shown on the
plans for all helix piers.
6. Installation of helix piers should be observed by a representative of our
firm to confirm the depth and Installation torque of the helix piers are
adequate.
The above design criteria were prepared based upon our understanding of the
soils existing at the site. We would appreciate Secure keep us Informed of the
progress of the design. Please call with any questions.
Very Truly Yours,

SECTION 01160 — SITE CONDITIONS
PART 1 - SITE INVESTIGATIONS AND REPRESENTATION
1.01 General Investigations
A. The Contractor acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the nature and location of the work, the
general and local conditions, particularly those bearing upon access to the site; handling, storage, and
disposal of materials; availability of water, electricity and roads; uncertainties of weather, or similar
physical conditions at the site; the conformation and conditions of the ground; the equipment and
facilities needed preliminary to and during the execution of the work; and all other matters which can in
any way affect the work or the cost thereof under this Contract.
1.02 Soil Conditions
A. The Contractor further acknowledges that he has satisfied himself as to the character, quality and
quantity of surface and subsurface materials to be encountered from his inspection of the site and from
reviewing any available records of exploratory work furnished by the Owner or included in these
Documents. Failure by the Contractor to acquaint himself with the physical conditions of the site and
all the available information will not relieve hum from responsibility for properly estimating the
difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work.
1.03 Contractor Representation
A. The Contractor warrants that as a result of his examination and investigation of all the aforesaid data
that he can perform the work in a good and workmanlike manner and to the satisfaction of the Owner.
The Owner assumes no responsibility for any representations made by any of its officers or agents
during or prior to the execution of this Contract, unless (1) such representations are expressly stated in
the Contract and (2) the Contract expressly provides that the responsibility therefore is assumed by the
.Owner.
PART 2 - INFORMATION ON SITE CONDITIONS
2.01 General
Any information obtained by the Engineer regarding site conditions, subsurface information,
groundwater elevations, existing construction of site facilities, and similar data will be available for
inspection, as applicable, at the office of the Engineer upon request. Such information is offered as
supplementary information only. Neither the Engineer nor the Owner assumes any responsibility for
the completeness or interpretation of such supplementary information.
A. Differing Subsurface Conditions:
In the event that the subsurface or latent physical conditions are found materially different from
those indicated in these Documents, and differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and
generally recognized as inherent in the character of work covered in these Contract Documents, the
Contractor shall promptly, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the Owner in writing of
such changed conditions.
2. The Engineer will investigate such conditions promptly and following this investigation, the
Contractor shall proceed with the work, unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer. If the
Engineer finds that such conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the
cost of or in the time required for performing the work, the Engineer will recommend to the Owner
the amount of adjustment in cost and time he considers reasonable. The Owner will make the final
decision on all Change Orders to the Contract regarding any adjustment in cost or time for
completion.
City of Fort Collins SECTION 01160 — SITE CONDITIONS
Park Planning & Development Division Page 1 of 3
B. Underground Utilities:
Known utilities and structures adjacent to or encountered in the work are shown on the Drawings.
The locations shown are taken from existing records and the best information available from
existing utility plans, however, it is expected that there may be some discrepancies and omissions
in the locations and quantities of utilities and structures shown. Those shown are for the
convenience of the Contractor only, and no responsibility is assumed by either the Owner or the
Engineer for their accuracy or completeness.
PART 3 - CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR UTILITY PROPERTIES AND SERVICE
3.01 General
A. Where the Contractor's operations could cause damage or inconvenience to railway, telegraph,
telephone, television, oil, gas, electricity, water, sewer, or irrigation systems, the operations shall be
suspended until all arrangements necessary for the protection of these utilities and services have been
made by the Contractor.
B. Notify all utility offices which are affected by the construction operation at least 48 hours in advance.
Under no circumstances expose any utility without first obtaining permission from the appropriate
agency. Once permission has been granted, locate, expose, and provide temporary support for all
existing underground utilities.
C. The Contractor shall protect all utility poles from damage. If interference of power poles, telephone
poles, guy wires, or anchors is encountered, notify the Owner's Representative and the appropriate
utility company at least 48 hours in advance of construction operations to permit the necessary
arrangements for protection or relocation of the interfering structure.
D. The Contractor shall be solely and directly responsible to the Owner and operators of such properties
for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconvenience, delay, suits, actions, or claims of any character
brought because of any injuries or damage which may result from the construction operations under this
Contract.
E. Neither the Owner nor its officers or agents shall be responsible to the Contractor for damages as a
result of the Contractor's failure to protect utilities encountered in the work.
F. If the Contractor while performing the Contract discovers utility facilities not identified in the
Drawings or Specifications, he shall immediately notify the Owners and the utility in writing.
G. In the event of interruption to domestic water, sewer, storm drain, or other utility services as a result of
accidental breakage due to construction operations, promptly notify the proper authority. Cooperate
with said authority in the restoration of service as promptly as possible and bear all costs of repair. In
no case shall interruption of any water or utility service be allowed to exist outside working hours
unless prior approval is granted.
H. The Contractor shall replace, at his own expense, any and all other existing utilities or structures
removed or damaged during construction, unless otherwise provided for in these Contract Documents
or ordered by the Engineer.
3.02 Interfering Structures
A. Take necessary precautions to prevent damage to existing structures whether on the surface,
aboveground, or underground. An attempt has been made to show major structures on the Drawings.
The completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and it is presented simply as a guide to avoid
known possible difficulties.
3.03 Field Relocation
A. During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor relocations of the work will be necessary,
Such relocations shall be made only by direction of the Owner's Representative. If existing structures
are encountered that prevent the construction, and that are not properly shown on the Drawings, notify
the Owner's Representative before continuing with the construction in order that the Owner's
City of Fort Collins SECTION 01160 — SITE CONDITIONS
Park Planning R Development Division Page 2 of 3
Representative may make such field revision as necessary to avoid conflict with the existing structures.
If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Owner's Representative when an existing structure is
encountered, and shall proceed with the construction despite the interference, he shall do so at his own
risk.
3.04 Easements
A. Easements and permits will be obtained by the Owner where portions of the work are located on public
or private property Easements will provide for the use of the property for construction purposes to the
extent indicated on the easements. Copies of these easements and permits are available upon request to
the Owner. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to determine the adequacy of the easement
obtained in every case and to abide by all requirements and provisions of the easement. The Contractor
shall confine his construction operations to within the easement limits or make special arrangements
with the property owners or appropriate public agency for the additional area required. Any damage to
property, either inside or outside the limits of the easements provided by the Owner, shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor as specified herein. The Contractor shall remove, protect, and replace
all fences or other items encountered on public or private property. Before final payment will be
authorized by the Owner's Representative, the Contractor will be required to furnish the Owner with
written releases from property owners or public agencies where side agreements or special easements
have been made by the Contractor or where the Contractor's operations, for any reason, have not been
kept within the construction right-of-way obtained by the Owner.
B. It is anticipated that the required easements and permits will be obtained before construction is started.
However, should the procurement of any easement or permit be delayed, the Contractor shall schedule
and perform the work around these areas until such a time as the easement or permit has been secured.
3.05 Land Monuments
A. The Contractor shall notify the Owner's Representative of any existing Federal, State, Town, County,
and private land monuments encountered. Private monuments shall be preserved, or replaced by a
licensed surveyor at the Contractor's expense. When Government monuments are encountered, the
Contractor shall notify the Owner's Representative at least two (2) weeks in advance of the proposed
construction in order that the Owner's Representative will have ample opportunity to notify the proper
authority and reference these monuments for later replacement.

SECTION 01310 - CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
PART 1-GENERAL
1.01 General
A. It is the intent of the Owner to begin construction on approximately January 2007. The signing of the
contract and issuance of a Notice to Proceed will be completed promptly to accomplish that objective.
The Notice to Proceed will authorize the Contractor to begin project administration and construction
work on the site. Construction work shall not begin on site prior to the pre -construction conference.
B. The Contractor shall complete all work, including cleanup of the site by "Substantial Completion" date,
specified in the Agreement, subject to the "Liquidated Damages" provision described under
"Instructions to Bidders."
C. Delays during project contract period outside control of the Contractor are subject to time extension
consideration but not financial compensation unless such delay is significant enough to reasonably
require Owner initiated work suspension (demobilization) as determined in the field by the Owner at
the time of occurrence. See Paragraph 1.04 for requirements for modifying the Contract Time due to
weather delays.
D. Contractor shall plan and schedule his own work effort (personnel, equipment and material) to
complete the project satisfactorily within the project time limits. Such schedule shall be in general
conformance with the schedule submitted at the pre -construction conference. This includes the
requirement that the Contractor conduct his operations to enable a shift of work effort from one part of
the project to another to reasonably accommodate unexpected delays, and to conduct his daily
operations so as to not create a public nuisance including but not limited to access or traffic
obstruction, dust and mud generation, work outside of construction limits, noise, unsatisfactory cleanup
or site restoration, unacceptable equipment/materials staging, flooding, etc. No work is to begin at the
site until Citys acceptance of the Construction Schedule.
E. Contractor shall prepare and submit a Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule. The schedule shall show
all work completed within the contract time and shall cover the time from the date of Notice to Proceed
to the completion date. Contractor shall use Microsoft Project 2000 or approved equivalent to develop
and manage the CPM schedule.
Schedule shall include milestones that demonstrate the Contractor's approach to completing the project
within project time limits. Milestones shall be of sufficient number to indicate regular progress of work
and shall identify major components of the work. Milestones are subject to Owner approval prior to
work beginning at the site. If Contractor fails to meet a milestone, contractor shall submit an updated
schedule subject to Owner approval and demonstrate how the remaining milestones will be met. The
Owner may order work shut down or suspended for nonconformance with the approved schedule (See
Paragraph G. below)
G. Milestones (minimum required items)
(1) Rolland Moore Parking Lot and Bridge — Completed by March 15, 2007
H. The Contractor may voluntarily shut down or suspend work due to conditions beyond his control
provided a minimum of 24 hours notice is provided to the Owner together with the reasons for subject
suspension of work. The Contractor shall leave the project conditions in such a way so as not to cause
a public nuisance or a threat to public safety. Neither remobilization costs nor additional time will be
allowed for such suspension unless agreed to in writing in advance.
The Owner or Engineer may order work shut down or suspended for such nonconformance issues as

described on the warning. Failure to do so shall justify the Owner or Engineer to order work shut down
or suspended. Such shutdown will not be compensated by cost reimbursement or time schedule
adjustment.
J. Failure to promptly execute the approved schedule in the judgment of the Owner will result in a written
warning submitted to the Contractor explaining the specific compliance needed. Failure of the
Contractor to remedy the noted items may be considered a breach of contract possibly leading to work
shutdown for cause or contract termination.
1.02 Format and Submissions
A. Prepare Construction and Procurement schedules in a graphic format suitable for displaying schedule
and actual progress.
B. Submit two copies of each schedule to owner for review. Owner will return one copy to contractor with
revisions suggested or necessary for coordination of the Work with the needs of Owner or others.
1.03 Progress Revisions
A. A schedule update shall be submitted to the Owner at each weekly progress meeting that will reflect
work performed in the previous week and the upcoming two-(2) weeks. Schedule updates shall not
change any Contract times.
B. A complete schedule update shall be submitted with each application for progress payment.
C. Show changes occurring since previous submission.
1. Actual progress of each item to date.
2. Revised projections of progress and completion.
D. Provide a narrative report as needed to define:
Anticipated problems, recommended actions, and their effects on the schedule.
2. The effect of changes on schedules of other work
1.04 Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
A. The date of beginning and the times for completion of the work are essential conditions of the Contract
Documents and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion within the
contract time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner that
the contract time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time, taking into
consideration the climatic and other factors prevailing in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract Time" shown
in the proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates a "Normal" weather and climate condition in and
around the vicinity of the Project site during the times of year that the construction will be carried out.
Extensions of time based upon weather conditions shall be granted only if the Contractor demonstrates
clearly that such conditions were "unusually severe," would not have been reasonably anticipated, and
that such conditions adversely affected the Contractor's work and thus required additional time to
complete the work.
B. The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe
weather. The listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to adverse weather for
each month and is based upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar
data for the geographic location of the project.
City of Fort Collins SECTION 01310 — CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
Park Planning & Development Division Page 2 of 4
Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(7) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly (or portion
thereof) weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed and continuing
throughout the contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days and the impact of adverse
weather days that delay the work will be recorded on a day-to-day basis. It is assumed that the work
will be carried out Mondays through Fridays (holidays excluded) unless an approved construction
schedule or written authorization from the Owner indicates otherwise. The number of days of delayed
work due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be compared to the monthly adverse.
weather schedule above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the Contractor's workday,
delay work critical to the timely completion of the project, and be documented by the Contractor. The
City Representative observing the construction shall determine on a daily basis whether or not work can
proceed or if work is delayed due to adverse weather or the effects thereof. The Contractor shall notify
the Construction Coordinator in writing of any disagreement as to whether or not work can proceed on
a given date, within 2 calendar days of that date. The Owner will use the above written notification in
determining the number of working days for which work was delayed during each month.
C. At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to adverse
weather exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be executed which increases
the Contract Time. The number of workdays delayed due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will
then be converted to Calendar Days based on the contract completion day and date. This conversion
assumes a 5-day work week, Mondays through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the Contractor have
authorization to work weekends and/or holidays, then the method of conversion of workdays to
calendar days would take this into consideration. The contract time period will then be increased by the
number of calendar days calculated above and a new contract completion day and date will be set.
D. The Contractor's schedule must reflect the above -anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather -
dependent activities.
E. While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually severe" weather or climate conditions, the
Owner shall make no monetary compensation for any costs to the Contractor arising out of such delays.
The Contractor shall comply with the portions of the Contract Documents relating to his project
schedule and amendments thereto which result from the "unusually severe" weather condition,
F. Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered justification
for an extension of time. Liquidated damages will be assessed as delineated elsewhere.
G. The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in
completion of the work is due to the following, and the Contractor has promptly given written notice of
such delay to the Owner or Engineer.
1. To any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the Owner.
2. To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor,
including but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the Owner, acts of
another Contractor in the performance -of a contract with the Owner, fires, floods, epidemics,
quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and unforeseeable weather as
provided above; and
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs 1 and 2,
above.
1.05 City's Responsibility
A. City's review is only for the purpose of checking conformity with the Contract Documents and assisting

movable concrete blocks so as not to require excavation within the tree's drip line. There shall be
no storage or movement of equipment, material, debris, or fill within the fenced tree protection
zone. The drip line is defined as the area on the ground covered by the spread of branches.
B. There shall be no cleaning of equipment or material or the storage and disposal of waste material
such as paints, oils, solvents, asphalt, concrete, motor oil or any other material harmful to the life
of a tree within the drip line of any protected tree or group of trees.
C. No attachment, wires, signs, or permits may be fastened to any protected tree.
D. Large areas containing clumps, groves, or copses of protected trees which are naturally separated
from construction or land clearing areas, road rights -of -way and utility easements may be
"ribboned off," rather than erecting protective fencing around each tree as required above. This
may be accomplished by placing metal t-post stakes a maximum of thirty (30) feet apart and tying
ribbon or rope from stake -to -stake along the outside perimeters of such areas being cleared.
E. The temporary fencing shall be removed by the Contractor only after all heavy equipment has
been permanently withdrawn from the site.
3.02 Excavation
A. Install shoring or other protective support systems to minimize sloping or benching of excavations.
B.' Do not excavate within the tree drip line, unless otherwise indicated. Where excavation for new
construction is required within tree drip lines, hand excavate to minimize damage to root systems.
Use narrow -tine spading forks and comb soil to expose roots.
City of Fort Collins Section 02122 - Tree Protection
Park Planning & Development Division Page 1 of 2
C. Relocate roots in backfill areas wherever possible. If encountering large, main lateral roots,
expose beyond excavation limits as required to bend and relocate without breaking. If encountered
immediately adjacent to location of new construction and relocation is not practical, cut roots
approximately 3 inches back from new construction.
D. After excavation outside the drip line of trees, any severed roots should be cut again smoothly with
flush cuts.
E. Do not allow exposed roots to dry out before placing permanent backfill. Provide temporary earth
cover or pack with compost and wrap with burlap. Water and maintain in a moist condition and
temporarily support and protect roots from damage until they are permanently relocated and
covered with earth.
F. Root Pruning: Do not cut main lateral roots or tap roots; cut only smaller roots that interfere with
installation of new work. Cut roots with sharp pruning instruments; do not break or chop. Roots 1
inch and larger shall be painted with two coats of Tree Seal or approved equal.
G. Trenching should be done outside the drip line of trees. The installation of utilities, irrigation
lines, or any underground fixture requiring excavation deeper than six inches shall be
accomplished by boring under the root system of protected existing trees at a minimum depth of 24
inches. The auger distance is established from the face of the tree (outer bark) and is scaled from
tree diameter at breast height as described in the chart below.

On -site cohesive soils or imported soils should be placed and compacted in thin, horizontal lifts,
not to exceed 8 inches in thickness (measured prior to compaction), using equipment and
procedures that will produce recommended moisture contents and densities throughout the lift and
embankment height. On -site or imported cohesive soils should be compacted within a moisture
content range of optimum to 3% above optimum moisture content and compacted to 95% of the
Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM D698).
When embankment is to be placed and compacted on hillsides, or when new embankment is to be
compacted against existing embankments, or when embankment is built 1/2 width at a time, the
slopes that are steeper than 4:1 when measured longitudinally or at right angles to the adjacent
ground shall be continuously benched over those areas where it is required as the work is brought
up in layers. Benching shall be well keyed and where practical a minimum of 8 feet. Each
horizontal cut shall begin at the intersection of the original ground and the vertical sides of the

previous cuts. Material thus cut out shall be recompacted along with the new embankment
material at the CONTRACTOR's expense.
The ground surface underlying all fills shall be carefully prepared by removing all organic matter,
scarification to a depth of 8 inches and recompacting to 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor
Density (ASTM D698) at optimum moisture content + or - 2% prior to fill placement.
Embankment material shall be placed in horizontal layers not exceeding 8 inches (loose
measurement) and shall be compacted to 95% of the Maximum Standard Proctor Density (ASTM
D698) at optimum moisture content + or - 2%. Effective spreading equipment shall be used on
each lift to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. As the compaction of each layer
progresses, continuous leveling and manipulating will be required to assure uniform density.
A moisture density determination shall be made for each soil type encountered. Unless directed
by the geotechnical engineer, the standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) shall
apply.
For embankments which serve as berms, the downstream portion shall be "keyed" into the
subsurface soils a minimum of 3 feet to enhance the stability of the slope.
Materials which are removed from excavations beneath the water table may be over the
acceptable moisture content range and will require that they be dried out prior to reusing them.
Cross hauling or other action as appropriate will be ordered when necessary to insure that the best
available material is placed in critical areas of embankments, including the top 2 feet of all
embankments. No additional payment will be made for cross hauling ordered by the ENGINEER.
Frozen materials shall not be used in construction of embankments and embankments shall not be
constructed on frozen materials.
During the construction of the channels, the channel bottom shall be maintained in such condition
that it will be well drained at all times.
Excavation or Embankment (Fill), and Structural Backfill work either completed or in a stage of

of adequate water control or dewatering work by the CONTRACTOR; b) frozen for any reason;
or, c) that are disturbed by the CONTRACTOR's work or caused to become unacceptable for
foundation material purposes by means of the CONTRACTOR's equipment, manpower, or
methods of work shall be removed and replaced by the CONTRACTOR at his expense.
Dewatering should not be conducted by pumping from inside footing, structural floor slab, or
other structure foundation limits. This may decrease the supporting capacity of the soils.
Care should be taken when excavating the foundations to avoid disturbing the supporting
materials. Excavation by either hand or careful backhoe soil removal, may be required in
excavating the last few inches of material to obtain the subgrade of any item of the concrete work.
Any over -excavated subgrades that are due to the CONTRACTOR's actions, shall be brought
back to subgrade elevations by the CONTRACTOR and at his expense in the following manner:
1. For over -excavations of 2 inches or less, either: Backfill and compact with an approved
granular materials; backfill with 1/2 inch crushed rock; or fill within concrete at the time of
the appurtenant structure concrete pour.
2. For over -excavations greater than 2 inches, backfill and compact with an approved granular
material.
All granular footings, structural floor slabs, or other structure areas shall be compacted with a
vibratory plate compactor prior to placement of concrete, reinforcing, or bedding materials.
B. Backfill, and fill within 3 feet adjacent to all structures and for full height of the walls, shall be
selected non -swelling material. It shall be granular, well graded, and free from stones larger than
2 inches. Material may be job excavated, but selectivity will be required as determined by the
ENGINEER. Refer to the Plans for job specific requirements. Stockpiled material, other than
topsoil from the excavation shall be used for backfilling unless an impervious structural backfill is,
specified. The backfill material shall consist of either clean on -site granular materials free of
stones larger than 2 inches in diameter with no more than 20% passing the No. 200 sieve, or
equivalent imported materials. All backfill around the structures shall be consolidated by
mechanical tamping. The material shall be placed in 6-inch loose lifts within a range of 2% above
to 2% below the optimum moisture content and compacted to 95% of Maximum Standard Proctor
Density (ASTM D698) for sand soils, or to 75% relative density as determined by the relative
density of cohesionless soils test, ASTM D4253.
When specified on the Drawings or as required by the ENGINEER, Class I structural backfill
shall meet the following gradation requirements:
% by Weight Passing
Sieve Size Sguare Mesh Sieves
