Grading

1.01 DESCRIPTION

The work of this section consists of excavation, fill placement, and removal and disposal of excess and unsuitable material all as required to establish site grades as shown on the plans.

Excavation includes excavation and grading for roadways, areas adjacent to structures, parking areas, slope rounding, benching, waterways, furrow and interception ditches, embankments, unsuitable material from the roadbed and beneath fill areas.

The Contractor shall utilize the material as specified herein and uniformly spread and compact any surplus at a location near the project site where directed by the Facility Manager.

07/07/2025 A1-10 of A1-24 LFEB - PW

1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Testing is required to determine compliance for the work of this section. All testing shall be the responsibility of the State. Areas where test results indicate noncompliance shall be corrected before placing additional fill.

1.03 PROJECT CONDITIONS

Maintain fills, slopes, and ditches within the limits of the new construction until final acceptance. Repair areas damaged as a result of storms or construction. Take necessary precautions to prevent the entrance of soils and other materials into streambeds, lakes or water courses.

Note: The underlying soils at this location are hard rock that may be difficult to grade. The Contractor should review existing conditions before grading operations begin. Blasting may be necessary for rough grading.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

A. GENERAL

1. All fill material shall be subject to approval by the State Representative.

2. Material shall be free from detrimental quantities of organic materials and free of all debris, muck, and other unsuitable materials. Frozen material will not be permitted as fill.

B. EROSION CONTROL

1. The Contractor is responsible for keeping all project areas free of erosion.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 GENERAL

Finish grades and existing or natural grades in the area adjacent to the structures are indicated on the plans. The Contractor shall do all grading, filling-in or excavating as required to completely grade the site to lines and grades shown, and to provide for the indicated drainage. Where finish grade corresponds practically with existing grade, the ground shall be worked up and graded off evenly with existing grade. The grading operation shall generally consist of moving and transporting materials within the area; however, the Contractor shall provide any additional fill material, if necessary, to complete the site grading to the elevations shown, or to uniformly spread any excess material on-site which may result as directed by the State Representative at no additional cost to the State.

Before commencing any earthwork operations:

1. The Contractor shall verify shrinkage characteristics of imported soils and existing soils to be reused.

07/07/2025 A1-11 of A1-24 LFEB - PW

2. The State will not be responsible for additional costs associated with variations in shrinkage factors and related earthwork quantities.

3. Verify existing grades and conditions are as indicated on the drawings prior to commencing work.

4. Should indicated conditions conflict with actual conditions and contours, notify the State Representative and await their directions before proceeding. Commencement of work indicates acceptance of existing conditions.

3.02 GROUND SURFACE PREPARATION

Before excavating or placing fill material, complete all clearing, grubbing, and stripping and scarify ground surface to provide ample bond between old and new material.

3.03 PLACEMENT OF FILL

Place fill material in layers not exceeding 8-inches loose measurement. Compact each layer before placing the next layer. As the compaction of each layer progresses, continually level and manipulate to assure uniform moisture and density. Add water to obtain specified moisture content.

3.04 DENSITY REQUIREMENTS

The top 2.5 feet of fill materials or top 1.0 feet of cut that are to support aggregate base and asphaltic concrete roadway pavements, parking areas, ADA walking trails, viewing platform and concrete areas shall be compacted to 95 percent of the maximum density determined by Calif. Test Method No. 216. All fill below the top 2.5 feet and all fill not supporting roadways, parking areas, or walks shall be compacted to 90 percent of maximum density.

3.05 DITCHES

Construct drains, channels, and inlet and outlet ditches for culverts as shown or as directed.

Round and trim ditch slopes neatly to grade. Final flow line elevations should be reasonably uniform and provide free drainage without ponding.

3.06 SLOPE FINISHING

Leave earth slopes with a roughened but reasonably uniform surface without noticeable breaks. The final surface should be similar to that obtained by using a farm disk or harrow parallel to the roadway. Blend slopes smoothly with the adjacent terrain. Grading shall provide for drainage away from all sides of structures.

3.07 DISPOSAL OF EXCESS MATERIAL

Excess material shall be hauled offsite and disposed of legally unless specified otherwise by the State Representative.

07/07/2025 A1-12 of A1-24 LFEB - PW

3.08 DISPOSAL OF UNSUITABLE MATERIAL

Unsuitable material shall be recycled if possible. If material cannot be recycled, it is to be properly disposed of offsite at the Contractor's expense. Records of disposal and/or chain of custody forms, if needed, shall be made available to State Representative upon request.

1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Evaluation of all fill materials and testing required to determine compliance for the work of this section will be the responsibility of the Contractor and at the Contractor's expense. All areas where test results indicate noncompliance shall be corrected before placing additional backfill. Additional costs for re-testing shall be paid by the Contractor.

1.04 RELATIVE COMPACTION TEST

A. The contractor shall provide material testing, at their expense, where specified and as required to complete the work.

B. Relative compaction is defined as the ratio, in percent, of the compacted dry density to the laboratory maximum dry density. The laboratory maximum dry density is defined in accordance with ASTM D 1557, latest edition.

1. A soils report is not provided; contractor is responsible for meeting the compaction requirements set forth in these specifications.

C. Where compaction tests indicate a failure to meet the specified compaction, the State will take additional tests every 50 feet in each direction until the extent of the failing area is identified. Re-work the entire failed area until the specified compaction has been achieved and to the satisfaction of the State Representative.
