6. The contractor shall place 4 inches minimum of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) over approximately 650’ x 12 feet of the regraded access road in accordance with PA DOT standards. The RAP shall extend from the public road to just beyond the facility fence and shall be compacted and shaped to 95% maximum dry density with a vibrating roller.

7. The contractor shall remove offsite any excess spoils or debris as a result of cleaning or creating the drainage swales.

8. The contractor shall place additional Reclaimed Asphalt at all low points within the VOR fenced in area. A plate compactor shall be used adjacent to the VOR facility to minimize any impacts to the active site.

9. The Contractor shall remove both utility poles found near the access road entrance. Any abandoned FAA meter boxes, conduits and conductors

Summary of Work 01 11 00 - 2 encountered shall be removed to the max extent allowable. Cut and abandoned remaining conductors and conduit below grade at the nearest elbow.

B. Protection of water resources. - The Contractor shall control the disposal of fuels, oils, bitumens, calcium chloride, acids or harmful materials, both on and off the premises and shall comply with applicable Federal, State, County and Municipal laws concerning pollution of rivers and streams while performing work under this contract. Special measures shall be taken to prevent chemicals, fuels, oils, greases, bituminous materials, herbicides and insecticides, and surface drainage from entering public waters. Water used in on-site material processing, concrete curing, foundation and concrete cleanup, and other waste waters shall not be allowed to re-enter a stream if an increase in the turbidity of the stream could result therefrom.

3.13 Dust control. - The Contractor shall maintain all excavations, embankments, stockpiles, access roads, plant sites, waste areas, borrow areas, and all other work areas free from excess dust to such reasonable degree as to avoid causing a hazard or nuisance to the Using Service or to others.

Approved temporary methods consisting of sprinkling, chemical treatment, or similar methods will be permitted to control dust. Dust control shall be performed as the work proceeds and whenever a dust nuisance or hazard occurs.

3.14 Erosion control. - Surface drainage from cuts and fills within the construction limits, whether or not completed, and from borrow and waste disposal areas, shall be graded to control erosion within acceptable limits. Temporary control measures shall be provided and maintained until permanent drainage facilities are completed and operative. The area of bare soil exposed at any one time by construction operations should be held to a minimum.

3.15 Post-construction cleanup or obliteration. - The Contractor shall obliterate all signs of temporary construction facilities such as haul roads, work areas, structures, foundations of temporary structures, stockpiles of excess or waste materials, and other vestiges of construction prior to final acceptance of the work. These disturbed areas shall be graded and filled and the areas seeded unless otherwise noted on the drawings.

3.16 QUALITY ASSURANCE:

A. When excavations are completed, the contractor shall notify the COR for his inspection and approval prior to placement of concrete or installation of cables, ducts, conduits, or piping.
