About this file
This is a standard specifications document from Greenville County Public Works detailing site clearing requirements for the Merrifield Park Drainage Improvement Project (IFB #27000) in Greenville County, South Carolina. The scope of work encompasses clearing and grubbing operations including the cutting, removal, and disposal of all trees, brush, debris, and objectionable material from designated work areas, as well as the removal of stumps, roots, and organic material to a minimum depth of 18 inches below the existing surface. All cleared materials must be removed from the site and disposed of off-site. Trees designated for preservation must be carefully protected during grading operations, with any contractor-caused damage or destruction resulting in replacement costs at fair market value as determined by the County Engineer. The clearing and grubbing operations require certification by the County Engineer prior to rough grading, filling, or as mandated by local government agencies. Traffic control for work in public streets, roads, and highways must comply with current regulatory authority requirements and, at minimum, the South Carolina Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (1982, latest revision).
The specifications establish that all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary for clearing operations are the contractor's responsibility. The document references related sections of the contract specifications, general provisions, and special provisions that apply to all work sections. These standard specifications serve as the technical framework governing how site clearing activities must be executed as part of the broader drainage improvement project, ensuring compliance with county standards and regulatory requirements for proper site preparation and environmental stewardship.
