Centerline of new aggregate shall follow existing road centerline. Road Stabilization will be applied and mixed to provide uniform distribution throughout the 4” of aggregate. Surface course fill slopes shall be 2:1 minimum.

5. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits for this type of construction, including any associated fees.

6. The contractor may be allowed to camp at the site during the construction period. This will require a district issued camping permit at no cost to the contractor. There are no restroom facilities in the immediate vicinity. Contractor shall provide portable facilities for their employees.
