About this file
This solicitation is for design-build-bid construction services to repair approximately 1,500 feet of levee along the San Joaquin River in Tracy, California. Work includes removing an existing fence, clearing vegetation, and constructing a seepage berm with materials like levee fill, geotextile, filter sand, drain rock, and riprap. The project also requires seeding, aggregate surfacing, and installing a replacement fence. Construction is planned for Spring through Fall 2022 and must be complete by November 1, 2022. Interested vendors can view the solicitation, plans and specifications on SAM.gov and must self-identify on that site. The Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District will manage the project but will not coordinate partnering between parties.

d. QA Representative will meet with the Contractor to determine if the preliminary pay request and corresponding back-up is acceptable.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 INSTALLATION
3.1.1 Work Plan
The Contractor must submit a geotextile installation work plan that includes construction schedule and sequence of operations for approval as part of the preconstruction submittals. The plan must describe the general work sequence and layout of operations. The plan must provide a description of quality control equipment and testing and sampling equipment. The plan must describe the sampling and testing procedures, sample test forms for reporting test results, including offsite independent laboratory.
3.1.2 Subgrade Preparation
The surface underlying the geotextile must be smooth and free of ruts or protrusions which could damage the geotextile. Subgrade materials and compaction requirements must be in accordance with Section 31 00 00
SECTION 31 05 19 Page 4 April 2022
EARTHWORK, using equipment that will not damage the subgrade or cause excessive ruts.
3.1.3 Placement
The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer a minimum of 24 hours prior to installation of geotextile. Geotextile rolls which are damaged or contain imperfections must be repaired or replaced as directed. The geotextile must be laid flat and smooth so that it is in direct contact with the subgrade. The geotextile must also be free of tensile stresses, folds, and wrinkles. On slopes steeper than 10 horizontal on 1 vertical, lay the geotextile with the machine direction of the fabric parallel to the slope direction.
3.2 SEAMS
3.2.1 Overlap Seams
Continuously overlap geotextile panels a minimum of 12 inches at all longitudinal and transverse joints. Where seams must be oriented across the slope, lap the upper panel over the lower panel. If approved, sewn seams may be used instead of overlapped seams.
3.3 PROTECTION
Protect the geotextile during installation from clogging, tears, and other damage. Damaged geotextile must be repaired or replaced as directed. Use adequate ballast (e.g. sand bags) to prevent uplift by wind. The geotextile must not be left uncovered for more than 14 days after installation.
3.4 REPAIRS
Repair torn or damaged geotextile. Clogged areas of geotextile must be removed. Perform repairs by placing a patch of the same type of geotextile over the damaged area. The patch must extend a minimum of 12 inches beyond the edge of the damaged area. Patches must be continuously fastened using approved methods. The machine direction of the patch must be aligned with the machine direction of the geotextile being repaired.
Remove and replace geotextile rolls which cannot be repaired. Repairs must be performed at no additional cost to the Government.
3.5 COVERING
Do not cover geotextile prior to inspection and approval by the Contracting Officer. After approval place cover soil in a manner that prevents soil from entering the geotextile overlap zone, prevents tensile stress from being mobilized in the geotextile, and prevents wrinkles from folding over onto themselves. On side slopes, soil backfill must be placed from the bottom of the slope upward. Cover soil must not be dropped onto the geotextile from a height greater than 3 feet . No equipment must be operated directly on top of the geotextile without approval of the Contracting Officer. Use equipment with ground pressures less than 7 psi to place the first lift over the geotextile. A minimum of 12 inches of soil or spalls must be maintained between full-scale construction equipment and the geotextile. Cover soil material type, compaction, and testing requirements are described in Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK. Equipment placing cover soil must not stop abruptly, make sharp turns, spin their wheels, or travel at speeds exceeding 5 mph .
SECTION 31 05 19 Page 5 April 2022
3.6 MANUFACTURING QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLING AND TESTING
The Manufacturer is responsible for establishing and maintaining a quality control program to assure compliance with the requirements of the Specification. A minimum of 7 days prior to scheduled use, submit manufacturer's quality control manual . Documentation describing the quality control program must be made available upon request. Perform manufacturing quality control sampling and testing in accordance with the manufacturer's approved quality control manual. As a minimum, geotextiles must be provided from each manufacturing lot delivered to site for testing in accordance with ASTM D4354, Procedure A. Acceptance of geotextile must be in accordance with ASTM D4759. Tests not meeting the specified requirements will result in the rejection of applicable rolls.
3.7 QUALITY ASSURANCE SAMPLES AND TESTS
3.7.1 Quality Assurance Samples
Provide assistance to the Contracting Officer in the collection of quality assurance samples for quality assurance testing; assign 7 days in the schedule to allow for testing. Collect samples upon each lot delivery to the site in accordance with ASTM D4354, Procedure B. Lot size for quality assurance sampling must be considered to be the shipment quantity of the product or a truckload of the product, whichever is smaller. The unit size must be considered one roll of geotextile. Identify samples with a waterproof marker by manufacturer's name, product identification, lot number, roll number, and machine direction. The date and a unique sample number must also be noted on the sample. Discard the outer layer of the geotextile roll prior to sampling a roll. Samples must then be collected by cutting the full-width of the geotextile sheet a minimum of 3 feet long in the machine direction. Rolls which are sampled must be immediately resealed in their protective covering.
3.7.2 Quality Assurance Tests
The Contracting Officer will provide quality assurance samples to an Independent Laboratory. Samples will be tested to verify that geotextile meets the requirements specified in Table 1. Test method ASTM D4355/D4355M must not be performed on the collected samples. Geotextile product acceptance must be based on ASTM D4759. Tests not meeting the specified requirements will result in the rejection of applicable rolls.
3.8 GEOTEXTILE CLOSEOUT AND ACCEPTANCE
3.8.1 Construction Records
Construction Records are reports, documentation, test results, logs, and material certificates. Construction Records must be submitted for the geotextile. All information must be submitted in electronic format and hard copy. Data/test summaries must be in Microsoft Excel files. Text reports must be Microsoft Word files.
