SUMMARY OF WORK

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

Work for this project consists of constructing a roadway embankment with turnouts and lead-off ditches; installing specified multi-axial geogrid geosynthetic on approved constructed roadway; furnishing, placing and compacting the aggregate material base course on the geogrid;

seeding and installing specified erosion control material; and a final shaping of the roadway as specified. Work will be performed on a designated 1.7 miles of Whitetail Road #224 per Base Item, with Optional Item of additional aggregate placement on Whitetail Road #224. Roadway will be constructed to a fourteen (14) foot wide roadway surface as Shown on the Drawings.

Blade the placed aggregate to provide a smooth-running surface with a centerline crown.
