CONSTRUCTION STAKING 01050

GENERAL

Scope

This section specifies layout and construction staking required for all construction contract work.

EXECUTION

General The Contractor shall perform the layout of facilities and the construction staking for vertical and horizontal control for all items, including toilet buildings, picnic units, and trails as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS.

Temporary bench marks shall be set for vertical control by the Contractor. Elevations and grades noted in the grading plans are for finish grade (FG), top of asphalt, top of wall (TW), concrete or surface of trails, as applicable, as SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. All trails and picnic units shall be staked by the Contractor at the grades specified under the plans and specifications and approved by the COR.

The finish floor elevations (FFE) of the toilet buildings are approximated on the Grading Plans and shall be verified by the Contractor. The COR shall approve all subgrade and structure layout before ground disturbance occurs. Shifts in the alignments can be expected to avoid large boulders and excessive tree removal. Any discrepancies for Grading Plans in meeting the required grades should be reported immediately to the COR for resolution before construction commences.

The Contractor shall be responsible for establishing and maintaining all construction stakes and bench marks for quality control. No construction activities shall occur without visible points of control or staking, and supervision by the Contractor. Slopes shall not be undercut, therefore slope stakes shall determine all catch points of Excavation/Embankment on trails or picnic units. Quality control is the full responsibility of the Contractor.

The Contractor shall give the COR 48 hours notice for approval of construction staking or facility layout.

Tolerances from FG are as noted under Section 02225, Excavation and Embankment.

Contract Drawings The contract Site Plans and details are plotted to scale, which can be lost by the multiple copying of the drawings. Upon request, the COR shall provide the Contractor with additional plots for accurate layout, at larger scales. The existing features were surveyed and an existing site plan with interpolated topography produced. Bench marks from the survey are located within the project area.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Measurement The work described herein will not be measured for payment.

Payment This work is incidental to other items in this Contract and direct separate payment will not be made.

DIVISION 1 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT 01150

GENERAL

Description Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for and under those pay items included in the schedule of items. All other work and materials will be considered as included in the payment for items shown.

When more than one class, size, or thickness is specified in the schedule of items for any pay item, suffixes may be added to the item number to differentiate between the pay items.

Determination of Quantities The following methods of measurement are used to determine contract quantities for payment.

For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations will be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified. Measurements for seeding, mulching, geotextiles, netting, erosion control blankets, and sodding will be along slope lines.

The average end area method will be used to compute volumes of excavation or embankment. However, if in the judgment of the CO, the average end area method is impractical, measurement will be made by volume in hauling vehicles or by other three dimensional methods.

Structures will be measured according to neat lines SHOWN on the drawings or as altered by the COR in writing to fit field conditions.

For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as waterline, culverts, fencing, guardrail, underdrains, etc., measurements will be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed. Pipe and pipe arch culverts will be measured along center of invert and arches will be measured at spring line.

For standard manufactured items, such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapesidentified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, such identification shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances will be accepted.

Units of Measurement Payment will be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure and by the following:

Acre. 43,560 square feet.

Cubic Yard. A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

(1) Excavation, Embankment or Borrow. The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

(2) Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

(3) Material in the Delivery Vehicle. The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

Each. One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

Linear Foot. One foot measured parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are to be placed.

Lump Sum. One complete unit of work usually consisting of many activities or parts which are not broken down separately.

Square Foot. A measure of area, horizontal or vertical, 1 foot by 1 foot.

Square Yard. A measure of area 3 feet by 3 feet.

Station. One hundred linear feet measured horizontally.

Ton. Short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

Methods of Measurement One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is DESIGNATED on the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS for each pay item:

Designed Quantities (DQ). Final number of units to be paid the terms of the contract. Changes in the number of units SHOWN in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

(1) As a result of changes in the work authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(2) As a result of the Contracting Officer determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

(3) As a result of the Contractor submitting to the Contracting Officer a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from measurements of completed work.

Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

Lump Sum Quantities (LSQ). These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They will not be measured.

Basis of Payment The accepted quantities of pay items will be paid for at the contract unit price for each pay item listed in the Schedule of Items. All other items of work necessary to complete the project will be considered subsidiary to these pay items. Payment shall be full compensation for all labor, material, equipment, tools, transportation, and incidentals necessary to complete the work prescribed.
