END OF SECTION Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening\General Requirements General Reqs. - 17 SECTION 01570 TREE PROTECTION A. Tree Barriers: All trees which will be preserved, but are within the limits of construction, must be protected from all damage associated with construction. A sturdy, physical barrier (fluorescent orange in color) must be fixed in place around each tree for the duration of construction. This barrier will be placed no closer than six (6) feet from the trunk, or one-half of the drip line, whichever is greater. The barrier itself must be fixed so it cannot be moved easily, but the material can be flexible, such as orange safety fence attached to metal T- posts driven into the ground, but must act as an effective deterrent to deliberate or accidental damage of each tree. The Project Engineer or Manager must approve actual materials and location of barrier. The movement or storage of equipment, material, debris, or fill within these required protective barriers is completely prohibited. In situations where the construction will come closer to a tree than six (6) feet, the orange barrier must still be erected. However, additional padding must be placed around the trunk of each tree starting at ground level and proceeding up the trunk to a height of six or seven feet. Padding should be a minimum eight (8) inches thick, and made of a material strong enough to protect the bark from accidental impacts with hand tools or power equipment. B. Accidental Poisoning: During the construction, the Contractor shall not cause, or permit the cleaning of equipment or material within the root zone of any tree. The Contractor shall not store or dispose of waste material including, but not limited to; paints, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar, or any other material harmful to the life of a tree, within the root zone of each tree, or group of trees. C. Root Pruning Specifications: When the cutting of tree roots is necessary, each final cut must be made as cleanly as possible for all roots over three (3) inches in diameter using the following method: 1. The line of excavation will be drawn out and appropriate excavation equipment used to clear the area at least six inches in front of the actual finished excavation line. Roots can then be cut using tools such as axes, stump grinders, or trenchers. 2. Each root over three (3) inches in diameter will then be cut cleanly back to the excavation line using stump grinder operated by an experienced licensed arborist. A sharp hand or bow saw is acceptable for roots under three (3) inches in diameter. Axes and trenchers do not cut roots cleanly and will not be used for final root cuts. D. Contractor shall coordinate with the Owners’ Field Representative prior to and during the tree protection erection and root pruning activities. Owners’ Field Representative, at his/her opinion, will contact the City Forester and/or City Arborist for advice and approval of the tree protection measures taken by the Contractor and also the City’s advice and approval during the root pruning activities. E. No damaging attachments, wires, signs, permits or other objects may be fastened by any means to any tree preserved on this project. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening\General Requirements General Reqs. - 18 F. Violation of Specifications and Penalties for Damaging Trees: Any violation of these specifications will lead to penalties based on the type of violation and/or the resulting damages, and may be grounds for the termination of this contract. The penalties will be assessed based on the amount of damage done and the total value of that tree, or group of trees, prior to the damage. The minimum penalty will be $100.00. Penalties for any damage will be based on the total value of the tree as determined by the City Forestry Division staff and the severity of the damage as a proportion of the total value of that tree. This could include up to the full value of the tree. As an example, there are two American Elm trees to be preserved on another project. They are valued at $7,960 and $6,667 for the south and north trees respectively. The south tree is approximately 100 inches in circumference; therefore each inch is worth one-hundredth of the value, or $79.60 per inch. Similarly, the north tree is 91 inches in circumference, making each inch worth $73.26. To extend this to penalties paid, if one inch of the bark on the south tree is scuffed, the penalty would be $100 (the minimum allowed); if two inches are damaged, the penalty would be $159.20 and so on up to 50% of the circumference of the trunk. If 50% or more is damaged, the full value of the tree will be assessed as a penalty. (This example serves to illustrate how damages will be assessed). This method of assessing penalties will be applicable to all trees not marked for removal on the project, accidental poisoning and improper pruning.

END OF SECTION Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 17 REVISION OF SECTION 307 FLYASH SUBGRADE STABILIZATION Section 307 of the Standard Specifications is revised as follows: This item shall consist of treating the sub-grade, adding Class "C" fly ash, mixing and compacting of the mixed material to the required depth and density. This item applies to natural ground or embankment and shall be constructed as specified herein and in conformity with the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer. MATERIALS A. Fly Ash - The fly ash shall meet ASTM Specification 618, Section 3.2, when sampled and tested in accordance with Sections 4, 6, and 8 unless otherwise shown on the plans. Fly ash shall be Class C designation containing a minimum of 25 percent CaO. B. Water - The water used in the stabilized mixture shall be clean, clear, and free of sewage, vegetable matter, oil, acid, and alkali. Water known to be potable may be used without testing. All other sources shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO T-26 and approved by the Materials Engineer. EQUIPMENT A. The machinery, tools and equipment necessary for proper prosecution of the Work shall be on the project site and approved by the Engineer prior to the beginning of construction operations. All machinery, tools and equipment used shall be maintained in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner. B. Fly ash shall be stored and handled in closed weatherproof containers until immediately before distribution on the road. If storage bins are used, they shall be completely enclosed. C. If fly ash is furnished in trucks, each truck shall have the weight of fly ash certified on public scales or the Contractor shall place a set of standard platform truck scales or hopper scales at a location approved by the Engineer. CONSTRUCTION METHODS A. General It is the primary purpose of this specification to secure a completed course of treated material that contains the following: 1. Uniform fly ash/soil mixture with no loose or segregated areas; 2. Uniform density and moisture content 3. Is well bound for its full depth 4. A smooth surface suitable for placing subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of his work; to process a sufficient quantity of material to achieve full depth as shown on plans; to use the proper amounts of fly ash; to maintain the work; and to rework the courses as necessary to meet the above requirements at no additional cost. Before other construction operations are initiated, the sub-grade shall be graded and shaped to enable the fly ash treatment of materials in place, in conformance with the lines, grades, and thickness shown on the plans. Unsuitable soil or materials shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material. The sub--grade shall be firm and able to support, without displacement, the construction equipment and the compaction hereinafter specified. Soft or yielding sub-grade shall be corrected and made stable by scarifying, Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 18 adding fly ash, and compacting until it is of uniform stability. If the Contractor elects to use a trimming machine that will remove the sub-grade material accurately to the secondary grade, he will not be required to expose the secondary grade or windrow the material. However, the Contractor shall be required to roll the sub-grade, as directed by the Engineer, before using the trimming machine and correcting any soft areas that this rolling may reveal. This method will be permitted only where a machine is provided which will ensure that the material is cut uniformly to the proper depth and which has cutters that will plane the secondary grade to a smooth surface over the entire width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that visible indication is given at all times that the machine is cutting to the proper depth. B. Application The fly ash shall be spread by an approved spreader at the rate of 12% dry weight of soil as shown on the plans and as directed by the Engineer. A motor grader shall not be used to spread the fly ash. The fly ash shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in such manner as to reduce the scattering of fly ash by wind to a minimum. Fly ash shall not be applied when wind conditions, in the opinion of the Engineer, are such that blowing fly ash becomes objectionable to traffic or adjacent property owners. During final mixing, water shall be added to the materials as directed by the Engineer, until the proper moisture content has been secured. Water shall be added through the pulverizing machine or method acceptable to the Engineer to develop a uniform, controlled rate addition of the needed moisture. Initial mixing after the addition of fly ash will be accomplished dry or with a minimum of water to prevent fly ash balls. Final moisture content of the mix, prior to compaction, shall not exceed the optimum moisture content of the mix by more than two percent nor by less than the optimum by more than four percent. Should the natural moisture content of the soil be above the specified range, aeration of the soil may be required prior to addition of the fly ash. C. Mixing The soil and fly ash shall be thoroughly mixed by approved rotary mixers or other approved equipment, and the mixing continued until, in the opinion of the Engineer, a homogeneous, friable mixture of soil and fly ash is obtained, free from all clods or lumps. Water required to achieve the specified moisture content for the mixture should be added after initial mixing. If the soil fly ash mixture contains clods, they shall be reduced in size by raking, blading, disking, harrowing, scarifying or the use of other approved pulverization methods so that when all non-slaking aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder of the material shall meet the following requirements when tested at the field moisture condition or dry by laboratory sieves: Minimum Passing 1: inch sieve 100 percent Minimum Passing No. 4 sieve 60 percent D. Compaction Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after mixing of the fly ash and be completed within one hour following addition of fly ash and water. The material shall be sprinkled as necessary to maintain the optimum moisture. Compaction of the mixture shall begin at the bottom and shall continue until the entire depth of mixture is uniformly compacted to a specified density. All non-uniform (too wet, too dry or insufficiently treated) areas which appear shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas affected, adding or removing material as required and reshaping the recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. The surface of the course shall be maintained in a smooth condition, free from undulations and ruts, until other work is placed thereon or the work is accepted. Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 Technical Specs - 19 The stabilized section shall be compacted to the extent necessary to provide the density specified below: Description For fly ash treated sub-grade, existing sub-base or existing base that will receive subsequent sub-base or base courses For fly ash treated sub-base or base that will receive surface course Not less than 95 percent maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) Not less than 95 percent maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) In addition to the requirements specified for density, the full depth of the material shown on the plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and stable under construction equipment. After each section is completed, the Engineer will make tests as necessary. If the material fails to meet the density requirements, the Engineer may require it to be reworked as necessary to meet those requirements or require the Contractor to change his construction methods to obtain required density on the next section. Throughout this entire operation, the shape of the course shall be maintained with a blade, and the surface, upon completion, shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical section shown on the plans and to the established lines and grades. Grading should be terminated within two hours after blending of the fly ash. Should the material, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density and finish before the next course is placed or the work is accepted, it shall be reprocessed, re-compacted and refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Reprocessing shall follow the same pattern as the initial stabilization, including the addition of fly ash. E. Finishing, Curing and Preparation for Surfacing After the final course of the treated sub-grade, sub-base or base has been compacted; it shall be brought the required lines and grades in accordance with the typical sections. 1. The resulting base surface shall be thoroughly rolled with a pneumatic tire roller and “clipped”, “skinned” or “tight bladed” by a power grader to a depth of approximately 3 inch, removing all loosened stabilized material from the section. Re-compaction of the loose material should not be attempted. The surface shall then be thoroughly compacted with the pneumatic roller, adding small increments of moisture as needed during rolling. If plus No. 4 aggregate is present in the mixture; one complete coverage of the section with the fat wheel roller shall be made immediately after the “clipping” operation. When directed by the Engineer, surface finishing methods may be varied from this procedure provided a dense, uniform surface, free of surface compaction plans, is produced. The moisture content of the surface material must be maintained within the specified range during all finishing operations. Surface compaction and finishing shall proceed in such a manner as to produce, in not more than two hours, a smooth, closely knit surface, free of cracks, ridges or loose material conforming to the crown, grade and line shown on the plans. 2. After the fly ash treated course has been finished as specified herein, the surface shall be protected against rapid drying by either of the following curing methods for a period of not less than three days or until the surface or subsequent courses are placed: (a) Maintain a thorough and continuously moist condition by sprinkling. (b) Apply a two-inch layer of earth on the completed course and maintain in a moist condition. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 20 (c) Apply an asphalt membrane to the treated course, immediately after same is completed. The quantity and type of asphalt approved for use by the Engineer shall be sufficient to completely cover and seal the total surface of the base between crown lines and all voids. If the Contractor elects to use this method, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to protect the asphalt membrane from being picked up by traffic by either sanding or dusting the surface of same. The asphalt membrane may remain in place when the proposed surface or other base courses are placed. Asphaltic emulsions are not acceptable for the asphaltic membrane. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT Fly Ash Sub-grade Stabilization will be measured by the square yard to the limits as constructed in the field and be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard.

Followers shall be used only when specified on the plans or approved in writing by the Engineer. 502.04 Approval of Pile Driving Equipment. All pile driving equipment discussed in subsection 502.03 shall be approved by the Engineer prior to delivery to the site. Approval will be based upon pile driving equipment data, such as rated energy, impact energy, or striking ram weight, which the Contractor shall submit. When the equipment is of questionable adequacy, the WEAP will be used to determine approval. If the Contract includes hammers determined by subsection 502.03(a)3., the Contractor will be notified of the acceptance or rejection of the driving system within ten calendar days of the Engineer’s receipt of the pile and driving equipment data. The approval criteria for wave equation analysis will consist of (1) the pile stress at the required ultimate pile capacity and (2) pile drivability. The driving stresses in the pile indicated by the Wave Equation Analysis shall not exceed 90 percent of the yield stress of the steel. Once approved, changes in the pile driving equipment shall not be made without additional approval, and will be considered only after the Contractor has submitted the necessary information for a revised Wave Equation Analysis. The approval process outlined above shall be applied to the revised driving equipment. All pile hammers delivered to the job site which the Engineer determines, either by observation or by pile driving analyzer, are not in good working condition will be rejected. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 36 502.05 Driving Piles. Foundation piles shall not be driven until the excavation is complete unless authorized by the Engineer. After driving is complete, all loose and displaced material shall be removed from around the piling before pouring any concrete. Piles shall be driven with a variation of not more than ¼ inch per foot from the vertical or from the batter shown in the Contract. Foundation piles shall not be out of the position shown in the Contract more than 6 inches after driving. A minimum pile penetration of 10 feet in natural ground is required for all piles. This requirement may be waived by the Engineer if the subsurface material at the pile tip location is bedrock or other acceptable bearing material provided that the bearing elevation is below scour depth. If a minimum pile tip elevation is specified in the Contract, all piles shall be driven to or below this elevation unless otherwise approved in writing. If the pile cannot be driven to the minimum tip elevation, the Engineer will determine if predrilling is required. Any predrilling not required by the Contract and ordered by the Engineer will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. The depth of the predrilling will be determined by the Engineer. Piles shall be driven to virtual refusal in natural ground at or below the estimated tip elevations specified on the plans. Virtual refusal is defined as a penetration of 1 inch or less for the final ten blows unless modified by the Engineer based on the pile driving analyzer results as described below. If virtual refusal has been reached in natural ground and piles have not been driven to the estimated tip elevation but have been driven below minimum tip elevation, the Engineer may order the driving to be continued for 40 additional blows. Water jets may be used in conjunction with the hammer to obtain the specified penetration only with approval. The last 3 feet of penetration shall be obtained by driving without the use of water jets. Test blows to determine average penetration shall be applied after the jets have been removed. The use of water jets will not modify any of the requirements of this section. The Engineer may monitor the pile driving by using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) to determine the condition of the pile, the efficiency of the hammer and the static bearing capacity of the piles, and to verify or modify the pile driving criteria specified in this Section. Modifications may include relaxing or stiffening the refusal criteria. The monitoring will be conducted by the Engineer. It is estimated that the Engineer will need approximately one hour per pile to install the PDA measurement equipment. Not more than two piles per project will be monitored unless specified in the Contract. All necessary work performed by the Contractor associated with the dynamic monitoring will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the work. If the Engineer requests additional piles to be monitored, or requests the Contractor to monitor the pile or piles, all necessary time required and work performed by the Contractor will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. 502.06 Drilling Holes to Facilitate Pile Driving. Holes to facilitate pile driving shall be drilled at all locations shown on the plans and to elevations shown. When test piles are shown on the plans they shall be used to determine if drilling holes to facilitate pile driving is required. If the test pile or piles do not reach the estimated tip elevation as specified in Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 37 subsection 502.05, holes shall be drilled to facilitate pile driving. If the test pile or piles reach the estimated tip elevation shown on the plans and develop the required bearing capacity as determined in subsection 502.05, drilling holes will not be required and the remainder of the piles shall be driven in the normal manner. The drilling of holes shall be done in such manner that the piling will stand accurately positioned as shown on the plans. The diameter of the drilled holes and the material used to fill oversize holes shall be as stipulated herein unless otherwise designated on the plans. The minimum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 1 inch larger than the outside diameter of steel pipe piles. The minimum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 2 inches larger than the web depth for H piles. The maximum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 2 inches larger than the minimum diameter specified above. If the maximum diameter of the drilled hole is exceeded due to sloughing, drifting, over-drilling, or other causes, the void area between the driven pile and the edge of the hole shall be filled with sand or pea gravel at the Contractor’s expense. The Engineer will determine if shooting holes with explosives or redesign is necessary when piles cannot be driven or holes drilled. 502.07 Capping Piles. Steel pipe or shell piles will be inspected after all adjacent piles within a 5 foot radius have been driven. The Contractor shall supply suitable lights for the inspection of the insides of these piles. Water or other foreign material shall be removed and the pipe or shell shall be filled with concrete. The tops of all steel piles shall be cut off square and embedded in the concrete as shown on the plans. 502.08 Extensions and Splices. There will not be a limit placed on the number of splices allowed for steel piles; however, payment will be limited to two splices per pile. Steel piling shall be spliced with a square-groove butt-joint weld using a 1/8 inch root opening. Weld deposition on pipe piles shall be made in two separate passes around the outside perimeter of the pile. Weld deposition on steel “H” piles shall be made in two passes. The first pass shall be made from one side of the part being welded and shall penetrate one-half the thickness of the member. The second pass shall be made on the side opposite from the first. For both types of piles, the slag left by the first pass shall be completely removed before making the second pass. All cuts at splices are to be made normal to the longitudinal axis of the pile. The cut-off portion may be driven to start the next pile or it may be welded to previously driven piles to provide the necessary extension length. Splices must be authorized. Welding shall conform to the applicable requirements of ANSI/AWS D1.1. Welders shall be prequalified in accordance with the standard qualification procedure of the American Welding Society. The Engineer may consider a welder qualified when the Welders’ Certificate states that the welder has been doing satisfactory welding of the required type within a one year period previous to the subject work. A certification shall be submitted for each welder and for each project, stating the name of the welder, the name and title of the person who conducted the examination, the kind of Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 38 specimens, the positions of welds, the results of the tests and the date of the examination. Such certification of pre-qualification may also be accepted as proof that a welder on field welding is qualified, if the Contractor who submits it is properly staffed and equipped to conduct such an examination or if the examining and testing is done by a recognized agency which is staffed and equipped for such purpose. Approved commercial splices may be used as an alternate for welded splices. 502.09 Defective Piling. Piles damaged in driving by reasons of internal defects or improper driving; driven out of their proper location; or driven below the elevation specified on the plans without approval shall be corrected at the Contractor’s expense by one of the following approved methods: (1) The pile shall be withdrawn and replaced by a new, and if necessary, longer pile. (2) A second pile shall be driven adjacent to the defective pile. (3) The pile shall be spliced or built up. (4) A sufficient portion of the footing shall be extended to properly embed the pile. All piles pushed up by the driving of adjacent piles shall be driven down again. 502.10 Pile Tips. Pile tips shall be placed on piles when shown on the plans. Pile tips and details for fastening tips to piles shall be in accordance with the plans or approved. If difficult driving conditions are encountered, the Engineer may order the Contractor to furnish and attach pile tips even though tips are not required by the plans. In that event, the tips will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. 502.11 Painting Steel Piles. The exposed portion of steel piles not embedded in concrete, including 2 feet below the stream bed or ground line, shall be painted as described in Section 509. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 502.12 Piling will be measured by the linear foot in place. Measurement shall be from the tip to the cut-off elevation. The length of pile cut-off to be measured will be those random lengths of piling which result from cutting off the tops of driven piles and which are not used in the work. Where piling is driven to within 1 foot of the elevation of cut-off, butt ends will be included in the length measured for piling actually driven. Measurement of splices will be limited to two per steel pile, except when extra splices are ordered. Splices for piles will be measured as additional length of pile. The additional length for each splice will be as follows: steel “H” piles, 3 linear feet; steel pipe piles, 3 linear feet. Pile tips and end closure plates for steel pipe piles will be measured by the actual number used. Drilled holes to facilitate pile driving will be measured by the linear foot, to the nearest foot.

END OF SECTION Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening\General Requirements General Reqs. - 17 SECTION 01570 TREE PROTECTION A. Tree Barriers: All trees which will be preserved, but are within the limits of construction, must be protected from all damage associated with construction. A sturdy, physical barrier (fluorescent orange in color) must be fixed in place around each tree for the duration of construction. This barrier will be placed no closer than six (6) feet from the trunk, or one-half of the drip line, whichever is greater. The barrier itself must be fixed so it cannot be moved easily, but the material can be flexible, such as orange safety fence attached to metal T- posts driven into the ground, but must act as an effective deterrent to deliberate or accidental damage of each tree. The Project Engineer or Manager must approve actual materials and location of barrier. The movement or storage of equipment, material, debris, or fill within these required protective barriers is completely prohibited. In situations where the construction will come closer to a tree than six (6) feet, the orange barrier must still be erected. However, additional padding must be placed around the trunk of each tree starting at ground level and proceeding up the trunk to a height of six or seven feet. Padding should be a minimum eight (8) inches thick, and made of a material strong enough to protect the bark from accidental impacts with hand tools or power equipment. B. Accidental Poisoning: During the construction, the Contractor shall not cause, or permit the cleaning of equipment or material within the root zone of any tree. The Contractor shall not store or dispose of waste material including, but not limited to; paints, solvents, asphalt, concrete, mortar, or any other material harmful to the life of a tree, within the root zone of each tree, or group of trees. C. Root Pruning Specifications: When the cutting of tree roots is necessary, each final cut must be made as cleanly as possible for all roots over three (3) inches in diameter using the following method: 1. The line of excavation will be drawn out and appropriate excavation equipment used to clear the area at least six inches in front of the actual finished excavation line. Roots can then be cut using tools such as axes, stump grinders, or trenchers. 2. Each root over three (3) inches in diameter will then be cut cleanly back to the excavation line using stump grinder operated by an experienced licensed arborist. A sharp hand or bow saw is acceptable for roots under three (3) inches in diameter. Axes and trenchers do not cut roots cleanly and will not be used for final root cuts. D. Contractor shall coordinate with the Owners’ Field Representative prior to and during the tree protection erection and root pruning activities. Owners’ Field Representative, at his/her opinion, will contact the City Forester and/or City Arborist for advice and approval of the tree protection measures taken by the Contractor and also the City’s advice and approval during the root pruning activities. E. No damaging attachments, wires, signs, permits or other objects may be fastened by any means to any tree preserved on this project. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening\General Requirements General Reqs. - 18 F. Violation of Specifications and Penalties for Damaging Trees: Any violation of these specifications will lead to penalties based on the type of violation and/or the resulting damages, and may be grounds for the termination of this contract. The penalties will be assessed based on the amount of damage done and the total value of that tree, or group of trees, prior to the damage. The minimum penalty will be $100.00. Penalties for any damage will be based on the total value of the tree as determined by the City Forestry Division staff and the severity of the damage as a proportion of the total value of that tree. This could include up to the full value of the tree. As an example, there are two American Elm trees to be preserved on another project. They are valued at $7,960 and $6,667 for the south and north trees respectively. The south tree is approximately 100 inches in circumference; therefore each inch is worth one-hundredth of the value, or $79.60 per inch. Similarly, the north tree is 91 inches in circumference, making each inch worth $73.26. To extend this to penalties paid, if one inch of the bark on the south tree is scuffed, the penalty would be $100 (the minimum allowed); if two inches are damaged, the penalty would be $159.20 and so on up to 50% of the circumference of the trunk. If 50% or more is damaged, the full value of the tree will be assessed as a penalty. (This example serves to illustrate how damages will be assessed). This method of assessing penalties will be applicable to all trees not marked for removal on the project, accidental poisoning and improper pruning.

END OF SECTION Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 17 REVISION OF SECTION 307 FLYASH SUBGRADE STABILIZATION Section 307 of the Standard Specifications is revised as follows: This item shall consist of treating the sub-grade, adding Class "C" fly ash, mixing and compacting of the mixed material to the required depth and density. This item applies to natural ground or embankment and shall be constructed as specified herein and in conformity with the typical sections, lines and grades as shown on the plans or as established by the Engineer. MATERIALS A. Fly Ash - The fly ash shall meet ASTM Specification 618, Section 3.2, when sampled and tested in accordance with Sections 4, 6, and 8 unless otherwise shown on the plans. Fly ash shall be Class C designation containing a minimum of 25 percent CaO. B. Water - The water used in the stabilized mixture shall be clean, clear, and free of sewage, vegetable matter, oil, acid, and alkali. Water known to be potable may be used without testing. All other sources shall be tested in accordance with AASHTO T-26 and approved by the Materials Engineer. EQUIPMENT A. The machinery, tools and equipment necessary for proper prosecution of the Work shall be on the project site and approved by the Engineer prior to the beginning of construction operations. All machinery, tools and equipment used shall be maintained in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner. B. Fly ash shall be stored and handled in closed weatherproof containers until immediately before distribution on the road. If storage bins are used, they shall be completely enclosed. C. If fly ash is furnished in trucks, each truck shall have the weight of fly ash certified on public scales or the Contractor shall place a set of standard platform truck scales or hopper scales at a location approved by the Engineer. CONSTRUCTION METHODS A. General It is the primary purpose of this specification to secure a completed course of treated material that contains the following: 1. Uniform fly ash/soil mixture with no loose or segregated areas; 2. Uniform density and moisture content 3. Is well bound for its full depth 4. A smooth surface suitable for placing subsequent courses. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to regulate the sequence of his work; to process a sufficient quantity of material to achieve full depth as shown on plans; to use the proper amounts of fly ash; to maintain the work; and to rework the courses as necessary to meet the above requirements at no additional cost. Before other construction operations are initiated, the sub-grade shall be graded and shaped to enable the fly ash treatment of materials in place, in conformance with the lines, grades, and thickness shown on the plans. Unsuitable soil or materials shall be removed and replaced with acceptable material. The sub--grade shall be firm and able to support, without displacement, the construction equipment and the compaction hereinafter specified. Soft or yielding sub-grade shall be corrected and made stable by scarifying, Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 U:\CFarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 18 adding fly ash, and compacting until it is of uniform stability. If the Contractor elects to use a trimming machine that will remove the sub-grade material accurately to the secondary grade, he will not be required to expose the secondary grade or windrow the material. However, the Contractor shall be required to roll the sub-grade, as directed by the Engineer, before using the trimming machine and correcting any soft areas that this rolling may reveal. This method will be permitted only where a machine is provided which will ensure that the material is cut uniformly to the proper depth and which has cutters that will plane the secondary grade to a smooth surface over the entire width of the cut. The machine shall be of such design that visible indication is given at all times that the machine is cutting to the proper depth. B. Application The fly ash shall be spread by an approved spreader at the rate of 12% dry weight of soil as shown on the plans and as directed by the Engineer. A motor grader shall not be used to spread the fly ash. The fly ash shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in such manner as to reduce the scattering of fly ash by wind to a minimum. Fly ash shall not be applied when wind conditions, in the opinion of the Engineer, are such that blowing fly ash becomes objectionable to traffic or adjacent property owners. During final mixing, water shall be added to the materials as directed by the Engineer, until the proper moisture content has been secured. Water shall be added through the pulverizing machine or method acceptable to the Engineer to develop a uniform, controlled rate addition of the needed moisture. Initial mixing after the addition of fly ash will be accomplished dry or with a minimum of water to prevent fly ash balls. Final moisture content of the mix, prior to compaction, shall not exceed the optimum moisture content of the mix by more than two percent nor by less than the optimum by more than four percent. Should the natural moisture content of the soil be above the specified range, aeration of the soil may be required prior to addition of the fly ash. C. Mixing The soil and fly ash shall be thoroughly mixed by approved rotary mixers or other approved equipment, and the mixing continued until, in the opinion of the Engineer, a homogeneous, friable mixture of soil and fly ash is obtained, free from all clods or lumps. Water required to achieve the specified moisture content for the mixture should be added after initial mixing. If the soil fly ash mixture contains clods, they shall be reduced in size by raking, blading, disking, harrowing, scarifying or the use of other approved pulverization methods so that when all non-slaking aggregates retained on the No. 4 sieve are removed, the remainder of the material shall meet the following requirements when tested at the field moisture condition or dry by laboratory sieves: Minimum Passing 1: inch sieve 100 percent Minimum Passing No. 4 sieve 60 percent D. Compaction Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after mixing of the fly ash and be completed within one hour following addition of fly ash and water. The material shall be sprinkled as necessary to maintain the optimum moisture. Compaction of the mixture shall begin at the bottom and shall continue until the entire depth of mixture is uniformly compacted to a specified density. All non-uniform (too wet, too dry or insufficiently treated) areas which appear shall be corrected immediately by scarifying the areas affected, adding or removing material as required and reshaping the recompacting by sprinkling and rolling. The surface of the course shall be maintained in a smooth condition, free from undulations and ruts, until other work is placed thereon or the work is accepted. Timberline Road Widening Project Data: December 14, 2005 Technical Specs - 19 The stabilized section shall be compacted to the extent necessary to provide the density specified below: Description For fly ash treated sub-grade, existing sub-base or existing base that will receive subsequent sub-base or base courses For fly ash treated sub-base or base that will receive surface course Not less than 95 percent maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) Not less than 95 percent maximum dry density (ASTM D-698) In addition to the requirements specified for density, the full depth of the material shown on the plans shall be compacted to the extent necessary to remain firm and stable under construction equipment. After each section is completed, the Engineer will make tests as necessary. If the material fails to meet the density requirements, the Engineer may require it to be reworked as necessary to meet those requirements or require the Contractor to change his construction methods to obtain required density on the next section. Throughout this entire operation, the shape of the course shall be maintained with a blade, and the surface, upon completion, shall be smooth and in conformity with the typical section shown on the plans and to the established lines and grades. Grading should be terminated within two hours after blending of the fly ash. Should the material, due to any reason or cause, lose the required stability, density and finish before the next course is placed or the work is accepted, it shall be reprocessed, re-compacted and refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Reprocessing shall follow the same pattern as the initial stabilization, including the addition of fly ash. E. Finishing, Curing and Preparation for Surfacing After the final course of the treated sub-grade, sub-base or base has been compacted; it shall be brought the required lines and grades in accordance with the typical sections. 1. The resulting base surface shall be thoroughly rolled with a pneumatic tire roller and “clipped”, “skinned” or “tight bladed” by a power grader to a depth of approximately 3 inch, removing all loosened stabilized material from the section. Re-compaction of the loose material should not be attempted. The surface shall then be thoroughly compacted with the pneumatic roller, adding small increments of moisture as needed during rolling. If plus No. 4 aggregate is present in the mixture; one complete coverage of the section with the fat wheel roller shall be made immediately after the “clipping” operation. When directed by the Engineer, surface finishing methods may be varied from this procedure provided a dense, uniform surface, free of surface compaction plans, is produced. The moisture content of the surface material must be maintained within the specified range during all finishing operations. Surface compaction and finishing shall proceed in such a manner as to produce, in not more than two hours, a smooth, closely knit surface, free of cracks, ridges or loose material conforming to the crown, grade and line shown on the plans. 2. After the fly ash treated course has been finished as specified herein, the surface shall be protected against rapid drying by either of the following curing methods for a period of not less than three days or until the surface or subsequent courses are placed: (a) Maintain a thorough and continuously moist condition by sprinkling. (b) Apply a two-inch layer of earth on the completed course and maintain in a moist condition. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 20 (c) Apply an asphalt membrane to the treated course, immediately after same is completed. The quantity and type of asphalt approved for use by the Engineer shall be sufficient to completely cover and seal the total surface of the base between crown lines and all voids. If the Contractor elects to use this method, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to protect the asphalt membrane from being picked up by traffic by either sanding or dusting the surface of same. The asphalt membrane may remain in place when the proposed surface or other base courses are placed. Asphaltic emulsions are not acceptable for the asphaltic membrane. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT Fly Ash Sub-grade Stabilization will be measured by the square yard to the limits as constructed in the field and be paid for at the contract unit price per square yard. NOTE: The square yards of Fly Ash Sub-grade Stabilization is an estimate only based on the soils report and general knowledge of the soil conditions in this area. The sub-grade areas to be stabilized with fly ash will be determined by the Engineer based upon results after proof rolling and effects resulting from inclement weather conditions. Sub-grade areas not requiring fly ash stabilization will be Reconditioned (Revision of Section 306), measured by the square yard as constructed in the field and paid for at the Reconditioning contract unit price per square yard.

All pile hammers delivered to the job site which the Engineer determines, either by observation or by pile driving analyzer, are not in good working condition will be rejected. Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 36 502.05 Driving Piles. Foundation piles shall not be driven until the excavation is complete unless authorized by the Engineer. After driving is complete, all loose and displaced material shall be removed from around the piling before pouring any concrete. Piles shall be driven with a variation of not more than ¼ inch per foot from the vertical or from the batter shown in the Contract. Foundation piles shall not be out of the position shown in the Contract more than 6 inches after driving. A minimum pile penetration of 10 feet in natural ground is required for all piles. This requirement may be waived by the Engineer if the subsurface material at the pile tip location is bedrock or other acceptable bearing material provided that the bearing elevation is below scour depth. If a minimum pile tip elevation is specified in the Contract, all piles shall be driven to or below this elevation unless otherwise approved in writing. If the pile cannot be driven to the minimum tip elevation, the Engineer will determine if predrilling is required. Any predrilling not required by the Contract and ordered by the Engineer will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. The depth of the predrilling will be determined by the Engineer. Piles shall be driven to virtual refusal in natural ground at or below the estimated tip elevations specified on the plans. Virtual refusal is defined as a penetration of 1 inch or less for the final ten blows unless modified by the Engineer based on the pile driving analyzer results as described below. If virtual refusal has been reached in natural ground and piles have not been driven to the estimated tip elevation but have been driven below minimum tip elevation, the Engineer may order the driving to be continued for 40 additional blows. Water jets may be used in conjunction with the hammer to obtain the specified penetration only with approval. The last 3 feet of penetration shall be obtained by driving without the use of water jets. Test blows to determine average penetration shall be applied after the jets have been removed. The use of water jets will not modify any of the requirements of this section. The Engineer may monitor the pile driving by using a Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) to determine the condition of the pile, the efficiency of the hammer and the static bearing capacity of the piles, and to verify or modify the pile driving criteria specified in this Section. Modifications may include relaxing or stiffening the refusal criteria. The monitoring will be conducted by the Engineer. It is estimated that the Engineer will need approximately one hour per pile to install the PDA measurement equipment. Not more than two piles per project will be monitored unless specified in the Contract. All necessary work performed by the Contractor associated with the dynamic monitoring will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the work. If the Engineer requests additional piles to be monitored, or requests the Contractor to monitor the pile or piles, all necessary time required and work performed by the Contractor will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. 502.06 Drilling Holes to Facilitate Pile Driving. Holes to facilitate pile driving shall be drilled at all locations shown on the plans and to elevations shown. When test piles are shown on the plans they shall be used to determine if drilling holes to facilitate pile driving is required. If the test pile or piles do not reach the estimated tip elevation as specified in Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 37 subsection 502.05, holes shall be drilled to facilitate pile driving. If the test pile or piles reach the estimated tip elevation shown on the plans and develop the required bearing capacity as determined in subsection 502.05, drilling holes will not be required and the remainder of the piles shall be driven in the normal manner. The drilling of holes shall be done in such manner that the piling will stand accurately positioned as shown on the plans. The diameter of the drilled holes and the material used to fill oversize holes shall be as stipulated herein unless otherwise designated on the plans. The minimum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 1 inch larger than the outside diameter of steel pipe piles. The minimum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 2 inches larger than the web depth for H piles. The maximum diameter of the drilled holes shall be 2 inches larger than the minimum diameter specified above. If the maximum diameter of the drilled hole is exceeded due to sloughing, drifting, over-drilling, or other causes, the void area between the driven pile and the edge of the hole shall be filled with sand or pea gravel at the Contractor’s expense. The Engineer will determine if shooting holes with explosives or redesign is necessary when piles cannot be driven or holes drilled. 502.07 Capping Piles. Steel pipe or shell piles will be inspected after all adjacent piles within a 5 foot radius have been driven. The Contractor shall supply suitable lights for the inspection of the insides of these piles. Water or other foreign material shall be removed and the pipe or shell shall be filled with concrete. The tops of all steel piles shall be cut off square and embedded in the concrete as shown on the plans. 502.08 Extensions and Splices. There will not be a limit placed on the number of splices allowed for steel piles; however, payment will be limited to two splices per pile. Steel piling shall be spliced with a square-groove butt-joint weld using a 1/8 inch root opening. Weld deposition on pipe piles shall be made in two separate passes around the outside perimeter of the pile. Weld deposition on steel “H” piles shall be made in two passes. The first pass shall be made from one side of the part being welded and shall penetrate one-half the thickness of the member. The second pass shall be made on the side opposite from the first. For both types of piles, the slag left by the first pass shall be completely removed before making the second pass. All cuts at splices are to be made normal to the longitudinal axis of the pile. The cut-off portion may be driven to start the next pile or it may be welded to previously driven piles to provide the necessary extension length. Splices must be authorized. Welding shall conform to the applicable requirements of ANSI/AWS D1.1. Welders shall be prequalified in accordance with the standard qualification procedure of the American Welding Society. The Engineer may consider a welder qualified when the Welders’ Certificate states that the welder has been doing satisfactory welding of the required type within a one year period previous to the subject work. A certification shall be submitted for each welder and for each project, stating the name of the welder, the name and title of the person who conducted the examination, the kind of Timberline Road Widening Project Date: December 12, 2005 U:\Cfarver\Craig\Timberline Road Widening Project\Technical Specs Technical Specs - 38 specimens, the positions of welds, the results of the tests and the date of the examination. Such certification of pre-qualification may also be accepted as proof that a welder on field welding is qualified, if the Contractor who submits it is properly staffed and equipped to conduct such an examination or if the examining and testing is done by a recognized agency which is staffed and equipped for such purpose. Approved commercial splices may be used as an alternate for welded splices. 502.09 Defective Piling. Piles damaged in driving by reasons of internal defects or improper driving; driven out of their proper location; or driven below the elevation specified on the plans without approval shall be corrected at the Contractor’s expense by one of the following approved methods: (1) The pile shall be withdrawn and replaced by a new, and if necessary, longer pile. (2) A second pile shall be driven adjacent to the defective pile. (3) The pile shall be spliced or built up. (4) A sufficient portion of the footing shall be extended to properly embed the pile. All piles pushed up by the driving of adjacent piles shall be driven down again. 502.10 Pile Tips. Pile tips shall be placed on piles when shown on the plans. Pile tips and details for fastening tips to piles shall be in accordance with the plans or approved. If difficult driving conditions are encountered, the Engineer may order the Contractor to furnish and attach pile tips even though tips are not required by the plans. In that event, the tips will be paid for in accordance with subsection 109.04. 502.11 Painting Steel Piles. The exposed portion of steel piles not embedded in concrete, including 2 feet below the stream bed or ground line, shall be painted as described in Section 509. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 502.12 Piling will be measured by the linear foot in place. Measurement shall be from the tip to the cut-off elevation. The length of pile cut-off to be measured will be those random lengths of piling which result from cutting off the tops of driven piles and which are not used in the work. Where piling is driven to within 1 foot of the elevation of cut-off, butt ends will be included in the length measured for piling actually driven. Measurement of splices will be limited to two per steel pile, except when extra splices are ordered. Splices for piles will be measured as additional length of pile. The additional length for each splice will be as follows: steel “H” piles, 3 linear feet; steel pipe piles, 3 linear feet. Pile tips and end closure plates for steel pipe piles will be measured by the actual number used. Drilled holes to facilitate pile driving will be measured by the linear foot, to the nearest foot.
