The railroad ties will need to be removed. Are they considered HAZMAT that require special handling / disposal? Depending on when the railroad was constructed, the ties may or may not be contaminated with creosote and considered an environmental hazard. As such, ties should be handled as hazardous waste and disposed of properly. Note a laboratory analysis may be required to properly classify.

Per spec section 01 45 35 are all inspections provided by and paid for by the Owner? Are there any required inspections that are to be contractor provided? Please clarify. (This question was asked, and an answer was provided in the first set of responses. However, the response was unclear as to whether the GC would be responsible for hiring the Special Inspector or if this would be by the owner.) Government will pay for inspections as deemed necessary to ensure quality assurance of the construction. All other 3rd party inspections are the expense of the GC.
