Section 4: Project Background & Project Description The GSA has initiated a project to prevent any further damage to the existing clay liner to the flood levee in Pembina ND. There are signs of erosion to the embankment after the 2020 flood and to prevent any further damage to the levee, it is proposed to line the embankment with riprap material.

Section 5: Project Objectives The contractor shall provide labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to perform:

1) The area where riprap will be installed shall be placed at a consistent elevation throughout the dike. The contractor may need to shoot the elevation of the top of riprap and make that consistent throughout the top of the dike. The area of the riprap will be approximately 25’ wide and 350’ long. See picture Below.

2) The RipRap shall be 18” – 24” deep and placed over an approved geofabric material.

3) The contractor shall use stone that is clean and free of deleterious material.

4) The stone shall be field stone or quarry stone that meet the criteria of Grade I on the Riprap Gradation chart under section 256 of the NDDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.

5) The contractor shall not use field stone that consists of sandstone, shale, or soft limestone, nor shall the stone have cracks or flaws that would cause splitting or breaking up or is easily abraded or crushed.

6) the contractor shall place the stones on sloped areas beginning at the toe of the slope. Set stones to obtain an even outer surface and a uniform appearance.

7) The contractor shall remove any topsoil if present, and place the largest stones in the base, filling gaps with smaller stones.

Contractor shall be careful not to remove any of the existing clay liner.

a. Place stones by mechanical means or by hand.

b. Distribute stones evenly over the riprap area without:

i. Material segregation

ii. Deviating from the designated slope and grade by greater than 6 inches.

c. Do not drop riprap stones from a height greater than 3 feet. Place stones greater that 250 pounds with no free-fall.

Achieve contouring of the stones during initial placement. Do not roll the stones along the surface. Begin placement of the stone cover at the base of the slope and at the center of the fabric covered zone.

8) The contractor shall place the geosynthetic (type RR) with the longest dimension parallel to the direction of the water flow. Place overlaps so the upstream strip overlaps the downstream strip. Overlap splices and joints at least 18 inches. Pin or staple all overlaps at 3-foot intervals.

9) The contractor shall patch damaged areas of the geosynthetic material by overlapping the tear a minimum of 36 inches with geosynthetic and secure the perimeter of the patch area with pins or staples.

10) The contractor shall re-seed any disturbed areas on the top side of the dike.

11) A staging area will be determined by mutual agreement after contract award.
