The material resulting from the vegetation removal operations on the side of the existing levee shall be stockpiled within the right-of-way limits and be evenly spread over the completed embankments prior to the fertilizing and seeding operation.

3.4.2 Windrows

Debris may be placed in a windrow at the edge of the spoil area. The debris shall be placed in a neat windrow or piles with the tree limbs trimmed sufficiently to make the windrow as small as practicable. No debris or cleared or grubbed material shall extend beyond the clearing limit.”

This variation in estimated quantities clause is applicable only to item Nos. 0006 and 0018.

(a) Variation from the estimated quantity in the actual work performed under any second or subsequent subline item or elimination of all work under such a second or subsequent subline item will not be the basis for an adjustment in contract unit price.

(b) Where the actual quantity of work performed for item Nos. 0006 and 0018 is less than 85% of the quantity of the first subline item listed under such item, the contractor will be paid at the contract unit price for that subline item for the actual quantity of work performed and, in addition, an equitable adjustment shall be made in accordance with the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.211-18, VARIATION IN ESTIMATED

QUANTITY.

(c) If the actual quantity of work performed under item Nos. 0006 and 0018 exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the total estimated quantity of the subline item under that item and/or if the quantity of the work performed under the second subline item or any subsequent subline item under item Nos. NONE exceeds 115% or is less than 85% of the estimated quantity of any such subline item, and if such variation causes an increase or a decrease in the time required for performance of this contract the contract completion time will be adjusted in accordance with the clause FAR 52.211-18, VARIATION IN ESTIMATED QUANTITY.
