SUMMARY

Measurement and payment for contract work will be made only for and under those pay items included in the Schedule of Items. All other work, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to successfully complete the project will be considered as included in the payment for items shown. This section defines the method of measurements and basis of payment for work items listed in the Schedule of Items.

When more than one class, size, type, thickness, etc. is specified in the Schedule of Items for any pay item, suffixes will be added to the item number to differentiate between the pay items.

DETERMINATION OF QUANTITIES

The following measurements and calculations shall be used to determine contract quantities for payment.

For individual construction items, longitudinal and lateral measurements for area computations shall be made horizontally or corrected to horizontal measurement unless otherwise specified. Measurements for geotextiles, netting and erosion control blankets shall be along slope lines.

For excavation or embankment volumes, the average end area method shall be used to compute volumes. However, if in the judgment of the Contracting Officer (CO), the average end area method is impractical, measurement shall be made by volume in hauling vehicles or by other three-dimensional methods.

For Structures, they shall be measured according to neat lines shown on the drawings or as altered by the CO, in writing, to fit field conditions.

For items that are measured by the linear foot, such as pipe culverts, fencing, guardrail, piping, utilities, and underdrains, measurements shall be made parallel to the base or foundation upon which the structures are placed.

For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture content, unless otherwise provided for.

For standard manufactured items (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduits) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be accepted.

Earthwork Tolerances - Adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment, within the tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet shall be made by the contractor as necessary to produce the designed sections and to balance earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes."

UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

Payment shall be by units defined and determined according to U.S. Standard measure and by the following:

Acre: Make longitudinal and transverse measurements for area computations horizontally.

Cubic Yard (CY): A measurement computed by one of the following methods:

Excavation, Embankment, or Borrow. The measurement computed by the average end area method from measurements made longitudinally along a centerline or reference line.

Material in Place or Stockpile. The measurement computed using the dimensions of the in-place material.

Material in the Delivery Vehicle. The measurement computed using measurements of material in the hauling vehicles at the point of delivery. Vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity. Leveling of the loads may be required when vehicles arrive at the delivery point.

Each (EA): One complete unit, which may consist of one or more parts.

Gallons (GAL): The quantity shall be measured by any of the following methods:

Measured volume in container.

Metered volume by approved metering system.

Commercially package volume.

Hour (HR): Measurement will be for the actual number of hours (or fraction thereof) ordered by the Contracting Officer and performed by the contractor.

Linear Foot (LF): Measurement of work along its length from point-to-point; parallel to the base or foundation. Do not measure overlaps.

Lump Sum (LS): One complete unit.

Mile: Measured horizontally along the centerline of each roadway, approach, or ramp.

Pound (LB): For sacked or packaged material, measurement will be the net weight as packed by the manufacturer.

Square Foot (SF): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

Square Yard (SY): Measured on a plane parallel to the surface being measured.

Ton: Measured as a short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

One of the following methods of measurement for determining final payment is designated on the Schedule of Items for each pay item:

ACTUAL QUANTITIES (AQ) - These quantities are determined from actual measurements of completed work.

DESIGNED QUANTITIES (DQ) - These quantities denote the final number or units to be paid for under the terms of the contract. They are based upon the original design data available prior to advertising the project. Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units shown in the Schedule of Items may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

As a result of changes in the work authorized by the CO.

As a result of the CO determining that errors exist in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more.

As a result of the Contractor submitting to the CO a written request showing evidence of errors in the original design that cause a pay item quantity to change by 15 percent or more. The evidence must be verifiable and consist of calculations, drawings, or other data that show how the designed quantity is believed to be in error.

LUMP SUM QUANTITIES (LSQ) - These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract, including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They shall not be measured.

STAKED QUANTITIES (SQ) - These quantities are determined from staked measurements prior to construction.

Filter fabric should contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and stabilizers to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life at a temperature range of 0 to 120 F.

Support Posts: 4 foot - 2 x 2 wood.

STRAW BALES

Oat or wheat straw, free from weeds, viable weed seeds, foreign matter detrimental to plant life, and dry.

Grass hay bales are not acceptable.

In order to prevent deterioration of the bindings, all bales shall be either wire-bound or string-tied so that bindings are oriented around the sides rather than along the tops and bottoms of the bales.

STRAW WATTLES OR ROLLS

Furnish straw wattles or rolls that are manufactured from weed free straw and wrapped in a tubular photodegradable plastic netting made from 85% high density polyethylene, 14% ethyl vinyl acetate and 1% color for UV inhibition. Conform to the following:

EXECUTION

CONSTRUCTION

Install straw bales at local drainage ways to prevent silt intrusion upon adjacent drainage courses. Remove straw bales following establishment of vegetation cover and utilize as mulch at swales or on steep slopes.

Prior to construction, install silt fence along the downhill construction limits to prevent silt intrusion upon adjacent land.

Install sediment and erosion control measures on the down slope toe of all topsoil stockpiles.

Maintain and remove all erosion controls as specified.

Temporary seeding shall be placed on exposed surfaces that will not be brought to final grading or permanent cover treatment within 30 days of the exposure to reduce erosion and sedimentation by stabilizing exposed soils. Seeded areas shall be checked regularly for bare spots, washouts, and healthy growth to assure that a good stand of grass is being maintained. Reseed areas that fail to establish vegetation cover as soon as such areas are identified.

DUST CONTROL

In areas subject to surface and air movement of dust, where on-site or off-site damage is likely to occur, one or more of the following preventive measures shall be taken for dust control:

Minimize the period of soil exposure through the use of temporary ground cover and other temporary stabilization practices.

Sprinkle the site with water until surface is wet. Repeat as needed.

SILT FENCE

Silt fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

Immediately upstream of the point(s) of runoff discharge from a site before flow becomes concentrated. Below disturbed areas where runoff may occur in the form of overland flow.

Along the down slope toe of all topsoil stockpiles.

Materials.

Utilize standard strength synthetic filter fabric for sediment barriers. The filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous roll cut to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joints. When joints are necessary, filter cloth shall be spliced together only at a support post, with a minimum 6-inch overlap, and securely sealed.

The standard strength filter fabric shall be stapled or wired to the fence and 6 inches of the fabric shall be extended into the ground. Filter fabric shall not be stapled to existing trees.

Support posts shall be spaced at a maximum 6 feet and driven securely into the ground a minimum of 24 inches.

Filter fabric shall be buried a minimum of 12 inches.

The height of a silt fence shall not exceed 36 inches. Higher fences may impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure.

Maintenance.

Silt fences and filter barriers shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during prolonged rainfall.

Silt fences shall be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, and to see if the fabric is securely attached to the fence posts, and to see that the fence posts are firmly in the ground. Any deficiencies shall be repaired immediately.

Should the fabric on a silt fence of filter barrier decompose or become ineffective prior to the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still be necessary, the fabric shall be replaced promptly.

Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event and/or when deposits reach approximately 1/3 the height of the barrier or when the sediments limit or prevent the flow of water through the fabric hydraulic.

Any sediment deposits remaining in place after the silt fence or filter barrier is no longer required shall be dressed to conform with the existing grade, prepared, and seeded.

STRAW BALE EROSION CONTROL FENCE

Straw bale erosion control fences are appropriate for the following general locations:

Sheet flow applications: Straw bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise on the contour with ends of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another.

Channel flow applications: Straw bales shall be placed in a single row, lengthwise and oriented perpendicular to the direction of flow with ends of adjacent bales tightly abutting one another. The barrier shall be extended to such a length that the bottoms of the end bales are higher in elevation than the top of the lowest middle bale to assure that sediment laden runoff will flow either through or over the barrier but not around it.

The barrier shall be entrenched and backfilled. A trench shall be excavated the width of a bale and the length of the proposed barrier to a minimum depth of 4 inches. After the bales are staked and chinked, the excavated soil shall be backfilled against the barrier. Backfill shall conform to the ground level of the downhill side and shall be built up to 4 inches against the uphill side of the barrier.

Each bale shall be securely anchored by at least 2 stakes or rebar driven through the bale. The first stake in each bale shall be driven toward the previously laid bale to force the bales together. Stakes or rebar shall be driven a minimum of 12 inches into the ground or deep enough into the ground to securely anchor the bales, whichever is greater.

The gaps between bales shall be chinked (filled by wedging with straw to prevent water from escaping between the bales). Loose straw scattered over the area immediately uphill from a straw bale barrier tends to increase barrier efficiency.

STRAW WATTLE OR ROLL

Straw wattles shall be installed in accordance to manufacturer’s installation guidelines.

At a minimum:

The wattle shall be entrenched and backfilled. A trench shall be excavated the width of the straw waddle and the length of the proposed barrier to a depth of 2-3 inches.

Each wattle shall be securely anchored by at least one 18-24 inch stake every 3-4 feet and with a stake on each end. Stakes shall be driven perpendicular to slope face through the middle of the wattle until 2-3 inches remains exposed above the waddle.

After the wattles are staked, compact excavated soil against the uphill side of the barrier.

Adjacent wattles should tightly abut.

MAINTENANCE

Inspection shall be frequent and repair or replacement shall be made promptly as needed. Straw bale carriers shall be removed when they have served their usefulness, but not before the upslope areas have been permanently stabilized.
