This is a Special Provision document from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) detailing landscape fabric specifications and installation requirements for project 20RD815(A565). The work involves furnishing and placing black, nonwoven polypropylene landscape fabric at locations designated on project plans or as directed by the Engineer. The fabric must meet specific performance standards: 5 ounces in weight, needle punched construction, UV stabilized, 98.7 percent opaque to light, and a minimum flow rate of 6 gallons per minute per square foot. Prior to delivery, contractors must submit manufacturer's general certification and a 12-inch by 12-inch sample for Engineer approval. Installation requires placing fabric parallel to the building while minimizing seams, with a minimum 6-inch overlap and stakes secured in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.

Payment for completed landscape fabric work is based on the contract unit price per square yard. The document does not contain information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding sources, response dates, bid due dates, site visits, or bidder's meetings. This provision establishes the material specifications and construction standards that contractors must follow for this specific line item within the larger MDOT project.
