The Contractor shall use existing stone fill as an underlayment beneath new splash stone. The elevation of the stone fill shall be as shown on the drawings.

3.3.2 Placement of Excess Existing Stone Fill

As the existing stone fill is being removed and repositioned as shown in plans, the amount of material encountered in some areas may exceed the space available. Excess satisfactory material from these areas shall first be used to fill any low areas along the length of the project. Any excess existing stone fill shall be stockpiled as directed by the Government's On-site Representative. All required transitions from areas of work to areas of no work shall be neat and uniform.

PART 2 PRODUCTS (Not Applicable)

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL EXCAVATION

The Contractor shall perform excavation of every type of material encountered within the limits of the project to the lines, grades, and elevations indicated and as specified.

Grading shall be in conformity with the typical sections shown and the tolerances specified in paragraph FINISHING.

Satisfactory excavated materials shall be transported to and placed in fill or embankment within the limits of the work.

Backfill material shall consist of satisfactory material as described in Paragraph 1.3.1. Backfilling shall not begin until construction below finish grade has been approved. Backfill shall be placed in layers not exceeding 6 inches loose thickness for compaction by hand operated machine compactors, and 8 inches loose thickness for other than hand operated machine, unless otherwise specified. Each layer shall be compacted to 90 percent maximum dry density unless otherwise specified. Backfill shall be compacted up to the tie rod elevation and to each side of the tie rod following completion of backfill to grade. The Contractor shall ensure that the tie rods are not subjected to any vertical loads from compaction equipment. Backfill shall be brought to indicated finish grade.

Backfill shall not be placed in wet or frozen areas. The Contractor shall dewater as necessary to achieve proper compaction. Areas shown on the drawings that require stone backfill do not require compaction.

3.3 FINISHING

The surface of excavations, embankments, and subgrades shall be finished to a smooth and compact surface in accordance with the lines, grades, and cross sections or elevations shown. The degree of finish for graded areas shall be within 0.1 foot of the grades and elevations indicated.

3.4 TESTING

Testing shall be performed by an approved commercial testing laboratory or by the Contractor subject to approval. If the Contractor elects to establish testing facilities, no work requiring testing will be permitted until the Contractor's facilities have been inspected and approved by the Government's On-site Representative.

3.4.1 Testing of Backfill Materials

Classification of backfill materials shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 2487 and the moisture-density relations of soils shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1557. A minimum of one soil classification and one moisture-density relation test shall be preformed on each different type of material used for bedding and backfill.

3.4.2 Density Tests

Test density in accordance with ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2922.

Conduct one test per 2500 square feet in each lift. Include density test results in daily quality control report.

3.5 EMBANKMENT PROTECTION

During construction, embankments and excavations shall be kept shaped and drained. Ditches and drains along subgrade shall be maintained to drain effectively at all times. The finished subgrade shall not be disturbed by traffic or other operation and shall be protected and maintained by the Contractor in a satisfactory condition at all times during construction. The storage or stockpiling of materials on the finished subgrade will not be permitted.

3.6 SEEDING

All areas indicating backfill as shown on the plans shall require seeding.

3.6.1 Inspection

Seed shall be inspected upon arrival at the job site for conformity to species and quality. Seed that is wet, moldy, or bears a test date five months or older, shall be rejected.

Other materials shall be inspected for compliance with specified requirements. The following shall be rejected: open soil amendment containers or wet soil amendments; topsoil that contains slag, cinders, stones, lumps of soil, sticks, roots, trash or other material over a minimum 1-1/2 inch diameter; and topsoil that contains viable plants and plant parts.

Unacceptable materials shall be removed from the job site.

3.6.2 Storage

Materials shall be stored in designated areas. Seed, lime, and fertilizer shall be stored in cool, dry locations away from contaminants. Chemical treatment material shall be stored according to manufacturer's instructions and not with seeding operation materials.

3.6.3 Seed Classification

State-certified seed of the latest season's crop shall be provided in original sealed packages bearing the producer's guaranteed analysis for percentages of mixture, purity, germination, hard seed, weed seed content, and inert material.

Labels shall be in conformance with applicable state seed laws.

3.6.4 Seeding Conditions

Seeding operations shall be performed only during periods when beneficial results can be obtained. When drought, excessive moisture, or other unsatisfactory conditions prevail, the work shall be stopped when directed. When special conditions warrant a variance to the seeding operations, proposed alternate times shall be submitted for approval.

3.6.5 Finished Grade and Topsoil

The Contractor shall verify that finished grades are as indicated on drawings, and smooth grading, and compaction requirements have been completed prior to the commencement of the seeding operation. The topsoil thickness shall be a minimum of 8 inches.

3.6.6 Prepared Surface

New surfaces shall be blended to existing areas. The prepared surface shall be completed with a light raking to remove debris.

3.6.7 Installing Seed

Seeding method shall be broadcast seeding, drill seeding or hydroseeding. Seeding procedure shall ensure even coverage.

Gravity feed applicators, which drop seed directly from a hopper onto the prepared soil, shall not be used because of the difficulty in achieving even coverage, unless otherwise approved. Absorbent polymer powder shall be mixed with the dry seed at the rate recommended by the manufacturer.

3.6.7.1 Broadcast Seeding

Seed shall be uniformly broadcast at the rate of 8 pounds per 1000 square feet using broadcast seeders. Half the total rate of seed application shall be broadcast in one direction, with the remainder of the seed rate broadcast at 90 degrees from the first direction. Seed shall be covered a maximum 1/4 inch depth by disk harrow, steel mat drag, cultipacker, or other approved device.

3.6.7.2 Drill Seeding

Seed shall be uniformly drilled to a maximum 1/2 inch depth and at the rate of 8 pounds per 1000 square feet, using equipment having drills a maximum 7 inches distance apart. Row markers shall be used with the drill seeder. Half the total rate of seed application shall be drilled in one direction, with the remainder of the seed rate drilled at 90 degrees from the first direction. The drilling equipment shall be maintained with half full seed boxes during the seeding operations.

3.6.7.3 Hydroseeding

Seed shall be mixed to ensure broadcast at the rate of 500 pounds per acre. Seed and fertilizer shall be added to water and thoroughly mixed to meet the rates specified. The time period for the seed to be held in the slurry shall be a maximum 24 hours. Wood cellulose fiber mulch and tackifier shall be added at the rates recommended by the manufacturer after the seed, fertilizer, and water have been thoroughly mixed to produce a homogeneous slurry. Slurry shall be uniformly applied under pressure over the entire area. The hydroseeded area shall not be rolled.

3.6.8 Hay or Straw Mulch

Hay or straw mulch shall be spread uniformly at the rate of 2 tons per acre. Mulch shall be spread by hand, blower-type mulch spreader, or other approved method. Mulching shall be started on the windward side of relatively flat areas or on the upper part of steep slopes and continued uniformly until the area is covered. The mulch shall not be bunched or clumped. Sunlight shall not be completely excluded from penetrating to the ground surface. All areas installed with seed shall be mulched on the same day as the seeding. Mulch shall be anchored immediately following spreading.

Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.

(d) The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Federal Contract Compliance, U.S. Department of Labor, within 10 working days following award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the contract resulting from this solicitation.
