A registered Geotechnical Engineer is required to sign the Geotechnical Report. Accompany the submitted report with a cover letter identifying any report recommendations proposed to be adopted into the design which are interpreted by the Contractor as a changed condition to Geotechnical or Pavement related requirements of the RFP.

The Contractor's final design drawings must include any relevant information presented in the RFP, as well as additional borings and laboratory test result data performed by the Contractor. The data provided is required to include:

- Logs of Borings and related summary of laboratory test results and groundwater observations. Provide 24-hour groundwater observations for at least 20 percent of the borings, minimum one boring. Provide notes explaining any abbreviations or symbols used and describing any special site preparation requirements.

- Indicate the locations of borings on the drawings. Revise the design drawings to reference the Contractor’s Geotechnical Report as being a basis for design.

3.1.3. Clearing and Grubbing

The Contractor shall clear and grub the site for project construction. Vegetation on the project site to be removed as part of clearing and grubbing will become the property of the Contractor and must be disposed off-site.

Clear trees, shrubs, brush, and vegetation for construction of the project. Clearing includes the felling, trimming, and cutting of trees into sections and the satisfactory disposal of the trees and other vegetation designated for removal, including downed timber, snags, brush, and rubbish occurring within the areas to be cleared.

Preserve and protect trees, shrubs and vegetation not directly impacted by the construction.

Remove and dispose of trees to a depth of at least 18 inches (450 mm) below ground surface. Fill depressions with satisfactory material and compact. Mound fill 2 inches (50 mm) above adjacent surface to allow for settling when not part of a subbase.

Remove stumps to a depth of at least 18 inches (450 mm) below ground surface. Fill depressions with satisfactory material and compact. Mound fill 2 inches (50 mm) above adjacent surface to allow for settling when not part of a subbase.

Within the clearing limits, remove and dispose of logs, shrubs, brush, matted roots, roots larger than 2 inches (50 mm) in diameter, and other debris to a depth of at least 18 inches (450 mm) below ground surface. Fill depressions made by grubbing with satisfactory material and compact to make the new surface conform to the adjacent surface of the ground.

Remove any existing concrete and asphaltic concrete paving and slabs as required for construction of the project. Remove the existing aggregate base in areas to receive new pavement to the depth of the proposed pavement section below new finish grade. Remove the existing aggregate base in areas not to receive new pavement to a depth of 8 inches (200 mm) below existing adjacent grade and break remaining pavement (if any) to allow drainage. Provide neat saw cuts at limits of pavement removal;

protect saw cuts so that new pavement butts against the existing without feathering.

3.1.4. Grading, Excavation, and Compaction

Perform site grading in accordance with standard practices.

Prior to excavation, Contractor must contact the host nation. Contractor will be responsible for obtaining dig permits.

Finished grade shall slope away from buildings at 1:10 for a distance of six feet (3 m) from building.

Finish floor elevations for new facilities shall be 12-inch (30 cm) minimum above the highest adjacent finished grade.

Establish finish floor elevations so that the floor is a minimum of four inches (10cm) above highest grade adjacent to the building. Provide a slope away from the building of 1:10 for a distance of five feet (150cm) from all sides of the building.

The Contractor shall preserve natural topographic features to minimize the impact on the existing drainage patterns at and adjacent to the site.

Finish grading shall provide drainage towards new and existing drainage features. Finish grading shall not result in low spots that hold water or that direct runoff towards new or existing facilities and/or site amenities.

The Contractor shall preserve natural topographic features to minimize cut and fill requirements. Re-use suitable excavation material as fill material as needed. All unsuitable material and surplus excavation shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of as specified above.

Requests for additional compensation shall not be made by the Contractor for degree of hardness or difficulty encountered in removal of material. All unsuitable material and surplus excavation shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be disposed of as specified above.

If necessary, provide borrow and select fill from acceptable sources in accordance with the Geotechnical Report.

Where sufficient topsoil and satisfactory materials are not available on the project site, provide suitable borrow materials.

Remove unsatisfactory soil materials from the site as specified above and replace with satisfactory soil materials.

Soils that are determined as clean fill via testing shall be backfilled and compacted in accordance with these requirements.

Blasting is not permitted.

Compact in accordance with ASTM D698 (or Tunisian equivalent) except for roads, airfields, lay-down areas, and other heavily loaded areas, which should use ASTM D1557 (or Tunisian equivalent) compaction; or the recommendations of the Contractor’s Geotechnical Engineer, whichever is greater.

Stabilize slopes through appropriate grading and site design for a minimum factor of safety of 1:5 or slope that does not exceed the maximum slope per local code requirements.
