The basis for the measurement will be original surveys of the areas to be filled taken by the Government prior to CONTRACT AWARD, clearing, grubbing and vegetation removal operations, and prior to removal of existing gravel surfacing operations, and the theoretical gross cross section of the completed levee constructed within the specified tolerance. Quantities will be computed by the Government using the surface to surface method. There will be no separate measurement and payment for tolerances.

(2a) The basis for measurement of fill which replaces soft material in the foundation of the berms which is forced outward from the section will be a survey of the area outside the berm toe taken prior to the filling operations and a second survey of the same area after completion of the filling operations.

(2b) If the Contractor elects to use settlement gages, measurement of additional levee embankment fill material placed in each settlement measurement range by reason of foundation settlement, will be based on measurements on the respective settlement gage installed as specified in Section 31 24 00.00 09 EMBANKMENT, paragraph SETTLEMENT OF FOUNDATION and will be determined as follows:

(i) The settlement measured at each settlement gage will be considered to apply to the foundation area throughout the length of the settlement ranges specified herein in which the gage is located. No measurement for payment for settlement will be made in

SECTION 01 22 00.00 09 Page 6 the event that embankment over a settlement gage is constructed to a height in excess of specified gross construction grade plus the tolerance permitted under Section 31 24 00.00 09 EMBANKMENT, paragraph GRADE TOLERANCES. In instances where settlement plates have been set and cannot be found after completion of the embankment, no payment for settlement will be made for the reach of the plate.

(ii) The foundation settlement under the embankment at each transverse cross section within a settlement range will be considered to vary uniformly between break points in the cross section. At each breakpoint, the settlement allowance will be based upon the proportion that the specified fill height at the break point bears to the specified fill height at the settlement gage, in accordance with the following formula: S = (h X sm) / hm, where S is settlement to be computed at a break point; h is specified gross fill height at S; sm is measured for adjusted settlement at settlement gage; and, hm is specified gross fill height above settlement gage. Except as provided above and in Section 31 24 00.00 09 EMBANKMENT, paragraph SUDDEN FAILURE, no measurement for payment for additional fill material placed by reason of foundation settlement will be made.

(3) Unit of measure: cubic yard.

b. "Levee Surfacing, Crushed Stone"

(1) Payment will be made at the contract unit price for all costs associtated with constructing the new crushed stone levee and ramp surfacing, which price and payment shall constitute full compensation for blading and shaping levee crown and ramps;

furnishing, hauling, placing, spreading, performing moisture control, compacting and dressing the finished surfacing;

performing all required testing; furnishing scales and weighing for measurement; and all work incidental thereto.

(2) Crushed stone surfacing material for levee crown and ramps shall be measured for payment by being weighed by the Contractor on approved scales before being placed into the work. Each truck load shall be weighed to the nearest 0.1 ton and the final quantity rounded to the nearest whole ton. The Contractor shall furnish the scales and shall weigh the surfacing material in the presence of the Government representative, who will certify to the correctness thereof. Scales shall be of sufficient length to permit simultaneous weighing of all axle loads and shall be inspected, tested and sealed as directed by the Contracting Officer to assure an accuracy within 0.5 percent throughout the range of the scales. The scale's accuracy shall be checked and certified by an acceptable scales company representative prior to weighing any surfacing material and rechecked and recertified whenever a variance is suspected. The scales shall be located at the site of work. If commerical scales are readily available in close proximity (within 40 miles) of site of work, the Contracting Officer may approve the use of the scales. The Contracting Officer may elect to accept certified weight certificates furnished by a public weigh master in lieu of scales weights at the jobsite. Quarry weights will not be accepted. In any event, the Contractor shall not dump any load until it has been inspected and accepted by an authorized Government representative. If a load

SECTION 01 22 00.00 09 Page 7 is dumped without this inspection and measurement, the Contractor shall reload the material as directed by the Government representative and remove it from the jobsite until proper inspection and measurement can be made at not additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall not allow the accumulation of material deposits in the trailer, i.e., lodged dirt, mud, gravel or stone.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 HAUL ROADS

Haul roads between borrow areas and fill areas shall meet the minimum requirements specified herein. At no additional cost to the Government, the Contractor shall increase the minimum specified requirements as necessary, due to job site conditions, to assure safe operations.

Whenever practical, one-way haul roads shall be used. Haul roads used for this work shall comply with the following:

(a) One-way haul roads for off-the-road haulage equipment; (e.g., belly dumps, scrapers, and off-the-road trucks) shall have a minimum usable width of 25 feet. One-way haul roads for over-the-road haulage equipment (e.g., dump trucks, etc.) shall have a minimum usable width of 15 feet.

When it is impractical to obtain the specified minimum widths for one-way haul roads (e.g., a road on top of a levee), a usable width of not less than 10 feet may be approved, provided a positive means of traffic control is implemented. Such positive means shall include signs, signals, or signalmen and an effective means of speed control.

(b) Two-way haul roads for off-the-road haulage equipment shall have a minimum usable width of 60 feet. Two-way haul roads for over-the-road haulage equipment shall have a minimum usable width of 30 feet.

SECTION 31 23 00.00 09 Page 2

(c) Haul roads shall be maintained to keep the surface free from potholes, ruts and similar conditions that could result in unsafe conditions. Haul roads shall be maintained free of all construction related debris, including loose riprap.

(d) Curves and changes in grade shall allow a minimum sight distance of 200 feet for one-way haul roads and 300 feet for two-way haul roads. Sight distance is defined as the centerline distance an equipment operator (4.5 feet above the road surface) can see an object

4.5 feet above the road surface. When conditions make it impractical to obtain the required minimum sight distances (e.g., ramps over levees), a positive means of traffic control shall be implemented.

(e) Dust abatement shall permit observation of objects on the roadway at a minimum distance of 300 feet.
