There is a clarification needed with the engineered fill under the floor slab. Detail 1/S-300 clearly shows there being 12” of engineered fill under the floor slab. This will require about 6” of existing material to be excavated out of the entire 1st floor area. Specification 03 30 00 3.3 Vapor Barrier, says there is to be a continuous 10mil vapor barrier with 4” of fine granular fill on top of the vapor barrier. This detail and the vapor barrier specifications do not mesh. Are we to put the 4” of granular fines on top of the engineered fill making it 16” of fill? Please clarify with either a revised detail or a revision to the vapor barrier specification.

The finished earthwork was designed at 12” below top of existing floor (99’). This will allow 8” of granular fill and 4” of cast-in-place concrete. Contractor shall field-verify existing elevations.

Detail 1/S-300 shall be changed to 8” engineered fill and 4” cast-in-place concrete. Also, in Specification 03 30 00, 3.3 Vapor Barrier, remove A.1.
