d. Backfill each side of the pipe culvert with gravel.

e. Place gravel over and around the pipe culvert.

f. Compact gravel everyone (1) foot in depth.

g. Place new concrete headwalls on each end of new culvert for stability. Headwalls shall be flush with the top of asphalt road.

h. Patch asphalt that was disturbed so it is level with remaining asphalt road.

i. Contractor shall dispose of old culvert and headers off site at the Contractor’s expense.

j. See Map 2 for approximate location.

5. Placing Topsoil-

a. All areas disturbed by roadside ditching work shall be placed with topsoil and seeded.

b. On areas to receive topsoil, the compacted subgrade shall be scarified to a 2-inch depth for binding with subsoil. Topsoil then shall be spread, tilled, and shaped to an even surface. Topsoil shall not be spread when frozen, excessively wet, or dry. Final topsoil grade shall be flush with edge of pavement.

c. The thickness of topsoil specified to be placed is that required after settlement and compaction of the material has taken place. Sufficient topsoil shall be placed to allow for settlement overtime.

d. All stones, roots, weeds, and any other undesirable material shall be removed from the surface after finish grading. After grading and shaping, all trucks and other equipment shall be excluded from topsoiled areas. Protect finished topsoil areas from damage by vehicular or pedestrian traffic.

e. During the hauling and spreading operations, the Contractor shall exercise care so that no topsoil is spilled, spread, or dumped on the pavement. Any topsoil spilled or deposited on pavement shall be immediately removed therefrom.
