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 a
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
installation of tree protection 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.

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.

Subsection 202.01 is revised to include the following:
The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all concrete sidewalk, curb and gutter, crosspans, driveways, inlets, irrigation
structures, pipe, structures, asphalt, fence, trees, retaining walls and any other obstructions that are designated for
removal by the Engineer. All such removals will be measured in the field, and quantities agreed to by the Contractor and
the Engineer.
Subsection 202.02 is revised to include the following:
Remove Pipe (RCP, CMP, PVC) - The Contractor shall remove all (clay tile, concrete, PVC, ductile, corrugated metal,
steel) pipes according to the construction drawings or as directed by the Engineer. All trenches will be backfilled to City
of Fort Collins specifications to 95% compaction. All areas must be graded according to Engineers direction and all pipe
removed is to be the property of the Contractor except in the residential drive approaches.
The pipes that cross the Emerson Acres Lots will become the property of the adjacent property owners. All property
owners must be given 24 hours notice prior to any work. If the property owners are not interested in keeping the pipe,
the pipe then becomes the property of the Contractor. In the instance that the property owner retains the pipes, the
Contractor will be asked to place the pipe at the right-of-way boundary for the property owner to retrieve. All drive
approaches must be re-compacted and temporary surface placed for access. The driveway materials will be paid for
under the Borrow ABC line item. All other labor, materials and equipment used to remove the pipe and re-compact the
excavated areas.
Remove Existing FES (30” and 42” RCP) - The Contractor shall remove the flared end sections and have the City
representative determine if they can be re-used. If the flared end sections are in determined to be in good conditions, then
the Contractor will be responsible for storing and placing this item. If the flared end sections have been determined to be
unacceptable, then it becomes the property of the Contractor. All labor, equipment, and materials necessary to perform
this work, will be paid for under this item.
Remove Landscape Timbers and Concrete Block in Driveway (Lot 1 Emerson Acres) – The property owner will be
given the option to keep the materials. If the owner is not interested in salvaging the railroad ties and concrete blocks,
then the materials become the property of the Contractor. In the case that the owner is interested in retaining the
landscaping materials, then the Contractor will be asked to place all materials along the right-of-way boundary.
Remove Concrete Irrigation Manholes – The Contractor must expose the 12” ADS pipe on the manhole located on the
west side of Lemay Avenue and cut the pipe to protect the existing pipe. The end of the pipe will be plugged with
concrete, the manhole removed and the area compacted to 95%. The manhole on the east side of Lemay Avenue will
need to be removed and the area compacted to 95%. All labor, materials, equipment, disposal cost and cost to plug the
existing pipe must be included in this unit price.
Remove Concrete Ditch – Contractor will be required to remove and dispose of all materials. The unit price must
include all equipment, labor and materials necessary to complete this work.
Rotomill Asphalt Pavement (Carpenter Road – 2” Depth) – This work will be done under traffic. The Contractor
must submit a traffic control plan to the City of Fort Collins Traffic Operations department for review, 2 weeks prior to
work commencing. The Contractor must provide: pick-up broom, labor, small front end loader (skip tractor),
superintendent, and TCS. Prior to the rotomill operations, the Contractor will be required to spot check elevations with a
string line or transit. The material will be the property of the Owner and will be hauled to a designated area on site. This

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, from back of curb to back of curb, adding Class "C" flyash, 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. Flyash - The flyash 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. Flyash 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. Flyash 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 flyash is furnished in trucks, each truck shall have the weight of flyash 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.
D. All sheep foot compactors shall have all cleaner bars in working condition.
E. At the direction of the on-site Engineer a water truck will be on site to support finish and tilling operation.
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 flyash/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 flyash; 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 flyash
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.
South Lemay Avenue Widening Project (2006) Date: May 10, 2006
P:\Street Oversizing\South Lemay Avenue Widening Project 2006\Bid Docs\Construction Specs\Technical Specs
Technical Specs - 14
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,
adding flyash, 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 flyash 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 flyash.
The flyash shall be distributed at a uniform rate and in such manner as to reduce the scattering of fly sh by wind
to a minimum. Flyash shall not be applied when wind conditions, in the opinion of the Engineer, are such that
blowing flyash 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 flyash will be accomplished dry or with a minimum of water to prevent flyash 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 flyash.
C. Mixing
The soil and flyash 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 flyash 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 flyash 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: 1inch sieve 100 percent
Minimum Passing: No. 4 sieve 60 percent
D. Compaction
Compaction of the mixture shall begin immediately after mixing of the flyash and be completed within one hour
following addition of flyash 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 re-compacting 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.
The stabilized section shall be compacted to the extent necessary to provide the density specified below:
South Lemay Avenue Widening Project (2006) Date: May 10, 2006
P:\Street Oversizing\South Lemay Avenue Widening Project 2006\Bid Docs\Construction Specs\Technical Specs
Technical Specs - 15
Description
For flyash treated sub-grade, existing sub-base
or existing base that will receive subsequent
sub-base or base courses
Not less than 95 percent maximum pry density (ASTM
D-698)
For flyash treated sub-base or base that will
receive surface course
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 flyash.
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 flyash.
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 flyash 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.
(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
Flyash 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 Flyash 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 flyash
will be determined by the Engineer based upon results after proof rolling and effects resulting from
inclement weather conditions. Sub-grade areas not requiring flyash 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.
Subsection 307.01 and 307-02 is revised to include the following: If the field soil tests show one or more sulfate
indicate a concertration of 0.5 percent a doubble treatment of flyash will occure. The first treatment of 6 percent
flyash will installed. The cure time will be two weeks the area will be damped to cure with all coonstruction traffic
kept off of area. The second application of flyash will be at 8 percent a cure time of 2 days will be required. In
each application of flyash the area will be treated in proceedure as the normal specifications called out in Section
307. the sub grade will be blue topped and cut accrdingly.
