Perform the necessary test pits to collect soil samples at depths suitable for the anticipated loads. Perform laboratory testing on the obtained soil samples to determine all engineering properties required for proper layout and construction of the proposed features. Perform groundwater recordings and percolation tests as base of design for underground constructions, drainage facilities, etc. Visually inspect soil for potential contaminants. If contaminants are suspected, provide technical contaminant analysis. In case of positive result for contaminants, provide risk assessment and recommendations for removal.

After installation, the water supply lines shall be tested according to local codes for leakage. Before the water supply line is put into final operation, it shall be disinfected, and then flushed through to remove traces of the sterilization agent. The line shall not be put into operation until absence of coliform bacteria is proven by a bacterial examination of the treated line. Test results shall be provided to the COR and, if the test results are unsatisfactory, necessary remedial work shall be at no additional cost.

2.11 PAVEMENT

Provide a drive through access area for child drop off and pick up. Provide access road (and turnaround area if needed) for commercial deliveries and garbage trucks. Driving surfaces must be asphalt concrete (AC) or Portland cement concrete (PCC). Provide geometric layout of the paved area to allow for the design vehicles to access the site features and exit the site safely. In the Design Analysis, demonstrate the turning path of the largest anticipated vehicle(s) in the most constrained situations on the site plans. Largest design vehicles for this site are local school bus, garbage truck and commercial delivery truck. Coordinate design with future road and parking improvements.

Provide a PCC area for garbage dumpsters. Provide PCC or paving block sidewalks around the building and connecting exterior doors to public sidewalk (or paved areas) at adjacent streets.

In the absence of Host Nation standards, compact asphalt pavements to 95% density, and provide density tests at a frequency of 1 test per 15 meters of road and pedestrian paths. Round up to nearest whole number (i.e. a 25 meter road requires two tests). The location of all tests shall be selected by the Contractor’s geotechnical engineer, and copies of all test results shall be furnished to the COR.
