I. SCOPE OF WORK
A. The work to be done under this heading shall consist of furnishing all
materials, equipment, tools, transportation, supervision and services and
performing all labor for excavating, filling and backfilling, required for
the construction of all structures indicated on drawings.
II. WEATHER
No excavation, grading, or other earthwork shall be done in wet, cold, or other weather
conditions which the owner’s representative may consider unfavorable for
securing the best construction.
III. EXCAVATIONS

2. Wet down all cut and fill areas necessary to prevent soil from
becoming airborne.
3. All vehicles leaving the site shall have their wheels cleaned of mud
and dirt to prevent tracking onto public streets.
If existing foundations, existing underground lines or other obstructions not shown on the
drawings are in the way of excavation, notify the owner’s representative for
instruction as to the proper method to follow in either moving the obstruction or
work around it. This will be handled as an addition to the scope of the contract.
A. The Contractor shall divert and/or pump out, bail or otherwise remove any
water which may be found or shall accumulate in the excavations, and
shall perform all work necessary to keep them entirely free from water
while construction under this contract is being completed.
B. If ground water is of the extent that well pointing is necessary, this shall
be handled as an addition to the scope of the contract, unless this site
condition is expressly indicated in the scope of work.
C. Temporary grading and elevations shall slope away from the buildings at a
rate of not less than 2%. It is required that low point elevations do not act
as reservoirs for runoff.

VI. SHORING, BRACING AND SHEETING
B. The size and arrangement of members shall be such that banks are
retained in place so that no earth movements can occur that would damage
adjacent structures or underground facilities.
A. Material for fill and backfill shall be approved clean granular material.
Stones, boulders or cobbles, or any other rock material greater than 5
inches in the longest dimension shall not be allowed in the fill material.
The rock materials used in the fill shall not be grouped in a manner known
as “nesting”.
D. No materials will be placed until the previous lift has attained the proper
compaction.
F. No fill material shall be placed until excavations and areas have been
cleared of unsound material, rubbish and debris; or when free water is
standing in the area, or on surfaces which have not been approved by the
Owner’s representative.

before the next lift is placed. Any soft spots resulting from frost shall be
removed or recompacted before new material is placed.
H. Any soft or spongy areas in any new fill or backfill shall be excavated,
refilled and re-compacted at the expense of the Contractor.
K. At all times, the Contractor shall drag, blade or slope the embankment to
provide proper drainage.
L. The Contractor shall be responsible for the stability of all fills made under
contract, and shall replace, without additional compensation, any portion
of the fill which shows distress at the discretion of the owner’s
representative.
IX. INSPECTION
A. For fill required where structures are to be built, the fill material shall be
approved by the owner’s representative and all distribution, compaction,
etc., shall be done in a manner acceptable to the owner’s representative.
B. The owner reserves the right to inspect the work in progress at any time.
Inspection may include any or all the following:
1. Verification of excavation.
2. Verification of compaction.
3. Verification of suitability and quality of fill materials.
