About this file
This is Addendum 3 to the Site Grading Plan for Sheraden Park Phase 1 Improvements, a project managed by the City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Works in collaboration with the landscape architect Klavon Design Associates, civil engineer Fahringer, McCArty, Grey Inc., and geotech engineer The Gateway Engineers Inc. The addendum presents updated existing contours for Area 1 of the park site located at 701 Thornton Street, Pittsburgh, and establishes grading parameters for the construction phase. The project encompasses approximately 3,500 cubic yards of cut with a maximum depth of 4.25 feet and 2,000 cubic yards of fill with a maximum depth of 3.00 feet. Cut slopes must comply with a maximum ratio of 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical), while fill slopes are limited to 2:1. The grading plan includes specifications for site preparation, compaction requirements for both cohesive and granular fill materials, slope stabilization through vegetation and plantings, and protocols for managing erosion and elevated soil moisture conditions. The contractor is responsible for locating all underground utilities prior to construction, fine-grading all disturbed beds and planting areas, and verifying field conditions against the survey prepared by Tri-State Design and Development dated February 8, 2023, with additional information updated September 5, 2023.
The addendum includes detailed technical requirements for subgrade preparation, including proof-rolling with a minimum of ten passes using a walk-behind vibratory roller compactor and potential stabilization using AASHTO No. 1 crushed stone if unsuitable conditions are encountered. Cohesive fill must be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum standard Proctor dry density per ASTM D698, while granular fill requires compaction to at least 70 percent relative density per ASTM D4253 and D4254-16. All existing curbing, asphalt, concrete roadway, and concrete sidewalk edges are to be saw-cut to clean, smooth edges where they abut new construction. The contractor is responsible for repairing any damage to utilities, structures, or site appurtenances resulting from construction activities. Klavon Design is responsible for applying for all parent permits necessary to initiate work, while the contractor must pick up all parent permits and apply for subsequent permits required to complete the project.
