In general, the items of work to be performed under this section shall include: clearing and grubbing, removal of trees and stumps (where required), protection of trees to remain, stripping and storage of topsoil, fill compaction and rough grading of entire site. 2. Excavated material that is suitable may be used for fills. All unsuitable material and all surplus excavated material not required shall be removed from the site. The location of dump and length of haul shall be the Contractor's responsibility. 3. Provide and place any additional fill material from off the site as may be necessary to produce the grades required. Fill obtained from off site shall be of kind and quality as specified for fills herein and the source approved by the Owner. 4. The Contractor shall accept the site as he finds it and shall remove all trash, rubbish and debris from the site prior to starting excavation. B. Work not included: The following items of related work are specified and included in other sections of these specifications: 1. Excavation, grading and backfilling for utility lines 2. Storm drainage systems 3. Sanitary sewer systems 4. Streets and paving 5. Water supply system 2. BENCH MARKS Maintain carefully all bench marks, monuments and other reference points; if disturbed or destroyed, contractor shall contact engineer. 3. REMOVAL OF TREES A. Remove all trees and stumps from area to be occupied by road and surfaced areas. Removal of trees outside these areas shall only be done as noted on drawings or approved by the Owner. B. All brush, stumps, wood and other refuse from the trees shall be buried onsite or removed to disposal areas off of the site. Disposal by burning shall not be permitted unless proper permits are obtained (where applicable). The location of on site bury pits shall be designated by the owner or the Engineer. 4. PROTECTION OF TREES A. General Protection: The Contractor shall be responsible for the protection of tops, trunks and roots of existing trees on the project site that are to remain. Existing trees subject to construction damage shall be boxed, fenced or otherwise protected before any work is started; do not stockpile within branch spread. Remove interfering branches without injury to trunks and cover scars with tree paint, 5. HANDLING OF TOPSOIL A. Remove all organic material from the areas to be occupied by buildings, roads, walks and parking areas. Pile and store topsoil at a location where it will not interfere with construction operations. Topsoil shall be reasonably free from subsoil, debris, weeds, gross, stones, ect. B. After completion of site grading and subsurface utility installation, top soil shall be replaced in areas designated on the erosion control plan for seeding and/or sodding. Any remaining top soil shall be used for finished grading around structures and landscaping areas. 6. DISPOSITION OF UTILITIES: A. Rules and regulations governing the respective utilities shall be observed in executing all work under this section. B. If active utilities are encountered but not shown on the drawings, the Engineer shall be advised before work is continued. C. Inactive and abandoned utilities encountered in excavating and grading operations shall be reported to the Engineer. They shall be removed, plugged or capped as directed by the Utility Company and the Engineer. D. It shall be the responsibility of each contractor to verify all existing utilties and conditions pertaining to his phase of the work. It shall also be the contractors responsibility to contact the owners of the various utilities before work is started. 7. SITE GRADING: A. Grades: Contractor shall perform all cutting, filling, compacting of fills and rough grading required to bring entire project area to grade as shown on the drawings. B. Rough Grading: the tolerance for paved areas shall not exceed 0.10 feet plus or minus above the established subgrade. All other areas shall not exceed 0.10 feet plus or minus the established grade. All banks and other breaks in grade shall be rounded at top and bottom. C. Compaction Requirements: 1. All building pad areas shall be compacted to standards specified by local and/or state building codes. 2. For compaction requirements of paved areas, see street specifications. 8. Earth Work Balance The Contractor shall confirm all earthwork quantities prior to start of construction. If an excess or shortage of earth is encountered, the Contractor shall confirm with the Owner and Engineer the requirements for stockpiling, removal or importing of earth. Minor adjustments to the grades may be required to earthwork balances when minor excess material or shortages are encountered. It is recognized by the parties hereto that the calculations of the Engineer in determining earthwork quantities shall be ac- complished in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers Standards for such calculations. Further, that these calculations are subject to the interpretations of soil borings as the physical limits of the various soil types, also the allowable variation in finish grade and compaction permitted the contractor, and that all of these parameters may cause either an excess or shortage of actual earthwork materials to complete the project. If such an actual minor excess or shortage of materials occurs, the contractor shall contact the engineer to determine if adjustment can be made to correct the imbalance of earth.
