About this file
This document is a comprehensive technical specification for the Los Reales Landfill Cell 4B Construction project, issued by the City of Tucson Environmental & General Services Department in Arizona. The project involves constructing a new landfill cell (Cell 4B) and includes multiple key construction activities such as surveying, excavation, subgrade preparation, stormwater channel construction, and riprap placement. The technical specifications detail extensive requirements for earthwork, geosynthetic liner installation, leachate collection systems, and associated infrastructure. The project scope encompasses multiple bid items including mass excavation, grading, pipe culverts, geosynthetic clay liner installation, geomembrane liner placement, leachate collection systems, and various ancillary components.
The contract is structured as a stipulated price agreement with detailed measurement and payment procedures for each bid item. The project requires extensive quality control testing, environmental compliance (including dust control and stormwater pollution prevention), and strict adherence to technical specifications for material selection, placement, and testing. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including health and safety plans, construction schedules, and material certifications. The technical specifications indicate a complex, environmentally sensitive project with multiple technical and regulatory requirements, emphasizing precise engineering standards for landfill cell construction and environmental protection.

SECTION 01016
HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
A. Preparing project site specific health and safety plan
B. Implementing project site specific health and safety plan
1.2 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
A. Section will be considered part of cost of all other items of work. OWNER will not make separate payment for this section.
1.3 OTHER
A. The exact nature of materials and wastes disposed of at the landfill is unknown. The possibility exists of encountering gases and/or other substances during the Work that may be potentially hazardous to the safety and health of personnel, especially those working in the vicinity of open excavations and pipes venting gases.
B. The CONTRACTOR is advised that decomposing refuse produces landfill gas which is approximately 50 percent methane (natural gas) by volume. Landfill gas is colorless, can be odorless, may contain hydrogen sulfide, toxic or hazardous material, is combustible and may contain no oxygen. Landfill gas can also migrate through several thousand feet of soil adjacent to landfills.
The CONTRACTOR is therefore advised of the need for precautions against fire, explosion and asphyxiation when working on the landfill and in or near excavations on the project site.
1.4 SUBMITTALS
A. CONTRACTOR shall submit with the bid documents, a general Health and Safety
Plan to the OWNER, for informational purposes only.
B. CONTRACTOR shall submit, after Notice of Award but prior to the pre-construction meeting, a Site Specific Health & Safety Plan to be approved by OWNER (See Section 01300). Acceptance of the plan by the OWNER does not release the CONTRACTOR of liability in the event of an accident or injury, nor does it place any liability on the OWNER.
C. Submittals may be completed electronically.

1.2 RELATED SECTIONS:
A. Section 01025 - Measurement and Payment
1.3 DESCRIPTION
A. Reference points: Reference points to be provided by OWNER pursuant to the
General Conditions will include referenced monuments and elevation benchmarks in the vicinity of the Project. If displaced by CONTRACTOR, replacement of these reference points will be at the expense of CONTRACTOR.
All surveys for record drawings shall tie to a minimum of three of these reference points and shall use the site coordinate system previously established by the OWNER’s survey and utilized in the design Drawings.
B. CONTRACTOR will furnish all necessary detail surveys including all lines, grades, and elevation appropriate to control construction. At a minimum, construction surveys are required for top of subgrade and top of the liner system.
C. Use by OWNER: OWNER may at any time use line and grade points and markers established by CONTRACTOR. CONTRACTOR's surveys are a part of the Work and may be checked by OWNER at any time. CONTRACTOR is responsible for any lines, grades or measurements which do not comply with specified or proper tolerances, or which are otherwise defective and for any resultant defects in the Work. CONTRACTOR will be required to conduct re-surveys or check surveys to correct errors indicated by review of the field notebooks or otherwise detected.
1.4 SURVEYS FOR MEASUREMENT FOR PAYMENT
A. When the Specifications or OWNER require Bid Schedule items of work to be measured by surveying methods, CONTRACTOR will perform the surveys. All such surveys, including control surveys for establishing the measurement reference lines, will be performed by a duly qualified and licensed surveyor in the presence of CONTRACTOR who will provide notice so OWNER may witness the surveying operation. OWNER may independently check calculations of final quantities for payment purposes. A duplicate of the note reductions and calculations will be given to OWNER. All calculated quantities shall be certified by surveyor as to accuracy.
1.5 SURVEYING ACCURACY AND TOLERANCES IN SETTING OF SURVEY STAKES
A. Perform control traverse field surveys and computations to an accuracy of at least 1:10,000.
B. The tolerances applicable in setting survey stakes are as set forth below.
Such tolerances cannot supersede stricter tolerances required by the Drawings or Specifications and cannot otherwise relieve the CONTRACTOR of responsibility for measurements in compliance therewith.
Type of Mark Horizontal Position Elevation
Permanent reference points 1 in 10,000 ±.01 ft.
General excavation and earthwork 1 in 2,000
±.10 ft.
C. Tolerances for designed thickness shown on Drawings and for elevations shown on the Drawings are ±0.10 foot unless otherwise specified.
D. Surveyor must be licensed in the State of Arizona.
