Construction Specification 2 — Clearing and Grubbing Title 210 – Engineering Part 642 – Specifications for Construction Contracts Subpart B – National Construction Specifications June 2024

A. Scope

1. The work consists of clearing and grubbing and disposal of trees, snags, logs, brush, stumps, shrubs, and rubbish from the designated areas.

B. Protection of Existing Vegetation

1. Protect trees and other vegetation designated to remain undisturbed from damage throughout the duration of the construction period. Any damages resulting from the contractor’s operations or neglect must be repaired by the contractor.

2. Earthfill, stockpiling of materials, vehicular parking, and excessive foot or vehicular traffic must not be allowed within the drip line of vegetation designated to remain in place. Vegetation damaged by any of these or similar actions must be replaced with viable vegetation of the same species, similar condition, and like size unless otherwise approved by the contracting officer.

3. Any cuts, skins, scrapes, or bruises to the bark of the vegetation must be carefully trimmed, and local nursery-accepted procedures must be used to seal damaged bark.

4. Any limbs or branches 0.5 inch or larger in diameter that are broken, severed, or otherwise seriously damaged during construction must be cut off at the base of the damaged limb or branch, flush with the adjacent limb or tree trunk. All roots 1 inch or larger in diameter that are cut, broken, or otherwise severed during construction operations must have the ends smoothly cut perpendicular to the root. Roots exposed during excavation or other operations must be covered with moist earth or backfilled as soon as possible to prevent the roots from drying out.

C. Marking

1. The limits of the areas to be cleared and grubbed will be marked by stakes, flags, tree markings, or other suitable methods. Trees to be left standing and uninjured will be designated by special markings placed on the trunk about 6 feet above the ground surface.

D. Clearing and Grubbing

1. Clear all trees not marked for preservation and all snags, logs, brush, stumps, shrubs, rubbish, and similar materials from within the limits of the designated areas. Unless otherwise specified, all stumps, roots, and root clusters that have a diameter of 1 inch or larger must be grubbed out to a depth of at least 2 feet below

210 H 642 CS 2 (June 2024) CS 2-2 the subgrade for concrete structures and 1 foot below the ground surface at embankment sites and other designated areas.

E. Disposal

1. Dispose of all materials cleared and grubbed from the designated areas at locations shown on the drawings or in a manner specified in Section G.
