PART 3 -EXECUTION
3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02200, shall be
performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the
entire area of earthwork operations.
3 .02 TOPSOIL
A. The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and
before excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise, topsoil will be
replaced after excavation and embankment construction are complete.
B. Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six inches (6") from areas
where excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained
from greater depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality,
in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer.
C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will
later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in
locations approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept
separate from other excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by
objectionable materials that would render it unsuitable.
D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited) until construction activities are
complete that would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as
overcompaction or contamination. Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and
· irrigation pressure lines must be complete before topsoil replacement may begin.
D. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed,
processed, compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five
inches in depth. Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of
earthwork (including slopes), except where pavement is planned.
F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Fine
grading will be accomplished with a weighted spike harrow, weighted drag, tractor box
blade, light maintainer, or other acceptable machinery. All particles of the finish grade
shall be reduced to less than one inch in diameter or they shall be removed. All rocks of
one inch or greater shall also be removed. Grading operations and equipment will be
such that topsoil does not become overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front-end
loader buckets are· not acceptable devices for topsoil grading operations. Final grading
within five feet of constructed or installed elements shall be hand raked.
G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade, true in
plane, even in gradient (slope), uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction.
Areas of loose granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not ·acceptable and will
be reworked. Finished areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for
turf grass planting.

3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION
A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all
times, and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to
the areas under construction.
B. Surplus Material:
1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the
grading plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation,
embanlanent construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are
completed. Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as
specified in Section 02200. All such cost for removal shall be considered· as
incorporated into Earthwork costs
C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise
indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches (6") below
required sub grade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall
be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans.
3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed
in unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embanlanent
includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing,
conditioning, and compaction of fill material.
B. General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be
constructed in layers approximately parallel to· the finished grade of the graded area, and
each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading
plan. Embanlanents shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the
typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embanlanent shall
correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After
completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its
finished section and grade until the project is accepted.
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embanlanent is to
be placed. The sub grade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should
be reworked. Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller,
loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately twenty five
(25) tons except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to
vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the
embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by
approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the
ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or
otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other
methods, and, where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground
surface, thus prepared, shall be compacted by sprinlding and rolling.
EARTHWORK
02300
-4-
D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other
than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six ( 6") inches to provide a
bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be
accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the
loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to
the density specified herein for fill.
E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain
cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes
greater than 4: 1, the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the
existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet (2') normal to the slope shall be
removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm
foundation free of loose or disturbed material.
F . Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread, not
to exceed eight (8") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless
otherwise permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the
area to be filied and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of
fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times .
G. Watering: At the time of compaction, the moisture content of fill material shall be such
that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and
unyielding . Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted
until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction.
H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or
sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the
Owner. Hand-directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to
vehicular compactors.
I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper
densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity
or another as subgrade (e.g., under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement,
under structures, etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embanlanent shall be
graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to
depositing topsoil, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc.
3.05 DENSITY CONTROL
A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a
minimum of ninety percent (90%) of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus four
percent (4%) or minus two percent (2%) percentage points of optimum moisture
content.
B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6") inches of natural
earth comprising the sub grade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be
ninety five percent (95%) to ninety eight percent (98%) of Standard Density ASTM
EARTHWORK
02300
- 5 -
D698 with the moisture c_ontent at minus two percent (2%) to plus four percent (4%) of
optimum moisture content.
3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all
embanlanents that are to function as sub grade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select
embankment. After completion of the embanlanent, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss
of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of two
percent (2%) below optimum in the top twelve inches (12") of the fill will require that the top
twelve inches (12") of the embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to
placement of the structure, select fill or pavement. If desired, the Contractor may place an
asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus
eliminate the sprinkling requirement.
3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed to avoid any displacement or
damage to the subgrade. If any of the subgrade is rutted, damaged or displaced it shall be
restored prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02.

Prior to laying the sod, the planting bed shall be raked smooth to true grade and moistened to a
depth of four inches, but not to the extent causing puddling. The sod shall be laid smoothly, '
tightly butted edge to edge, and with staggered joints. The sod shall be pressed firmly into the
sod bed by mechanical roller so as to eliminate all air pockets, provide a true and even surface,
and insure knitting without displacement of the sod or deformation of the surfaces of sodded
areas. Following compaction, compost shall be used to fill all cracks between sods. Excess
compost shall be worked into the grass with suitable equipment and shall be well watered. The
quantity of compost shall be such that it will cause no smothering or burning of the grass.
3.04 FERTILIZING
Twenty-one days after planting, turf grass areas shall receive an application of 3-1-2 fertilizer at
the rate of 45 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Water well .after application to prevent burning as per

design has been approved by the Engineer in writing to the Contractor.
PART 3 -EXECUTION
3.01 REINFORCING
Metal reinforcing shall be accurately placed in accordance with the Plans and shall be
adequately secured in position by concrete, metal, or plastic chairs and spacers . Bar
splices shall overlap at least twelve inches. The re-bars shall be bent cold.
3.02 JOINTS
A. Expansion Joints: Expansion joint materials shall be installed perpendicular to
the surface. The bottom edge of the material shall extend to or slightly below the
bottom edge of the slab and the top edge shall be held approximately 1/2 inch
below the surface of the slab. The edge of joints shall be tooled with an edging
tool having a 1/7 inch radius.
B. Contraction Joints: Contraction joints shall be 1/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch deep,
tooled joints placed on six foot centers, unless otherwise indicated. Contraction
joints will not be required to be sealed. Sawed joints may be allowed only if
specifically approved by the Engineer. Joints will be sawed as soon as sawing
can be performed without stripping aggregate from the concrete, generally within
twelve to twenty-four hours after placement, and they shall be completed before
uncontrolled cracking of the pavement takes place. ·
C. Construction Joints: Construction joints shall be installed in all concrete work at
the locations shown on the Plans. Construction joints formed at the close of each
day's work shall be located at any of the control joints designated on the Plans.

·the subgrade shall be removed before resuming concreting operations.
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
03300
- 3 -
3 .03 PLACING CONCRETE
Placement of Concrete: The concrete shall be rapidly deposited on the subgrade
immediately after mixing is completed. Subgrade and forms shall be dampened prior to
placement of the concrete. The concrete shall be transported, ·placed and spread in such a
manner as to prevent segregation of the aggregate or an excess amount of water and fine
materials to be brought to the surface. No concrete shall be placed when t h e air
temperature is less than forty degrees Fahrenheit nor when the temperature of the
concrete is eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit or higher, without approval of Construction
Inspector.
Placement shall be carried on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and
flows readily into the space between the bars. No concrete that has partially hardened or
that has been contaminated by foreign material shall be deposited in the work nor shall
retempered concrete be used. Each section of pavement between expansion and
construction joints shall be placed monolithically.
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by suitable means during the operation of
placing and shall be thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded fixtures and
into the corners of the forms. Special care shall be taken to prevent voids and
honeycombing. The concrete shall then be.struck off and bull-floated to the grade shown
on the Plans before bleed water has an opportunity to collect on the surface.
3 .04 FINISHING
All concrete shall be finished by experienced, qualified concrete finishers. All concrete
shall have a neat, rounded edge. Edging and jointing (radius described on Plans) shall be
accomplished with care so as not to leave deep impressions in the concrete surface
adjacent to edges and joints. After the concrete has been floated and has set sufficiently
to support the weight of cement finishers, a smooth steel trowel will be used to produce
hard surface. The entire surface will then be brushed with a stiff bristle broom to produce
a uniform textured finish. All edges and sides of concrete exposed to view shall be free
of warp and blemishes with a uniform texture and smoothness as described in Plans.
3.05 CURING
Curing Compound: Immediately after the finishing operations, the concrete shall be
completely covered with a curing compound. The concrete surface shall be kept moist
between finishing operations and the application of the curing compound. The curing
compound shall be applied under pressure by means of a spray nozzle at a rate not to
exceed 200 square feet per gallon. A minimum of 72 hours curing time will be required.
3.06 CONCRETE WALLS
A . Placing Concrete
1. Where tremies are used, or where the free drop is 5'-0" or more, and
through reinforcement, use a dumping box or board, moving the concrete
therefrom by shovels or hoes .
CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE
03300
-4-
2. Deposit concrete so that the surface is kept level throughout, a minimum
being permitted to flow from one position to another, and place as rapidly
as practicable after mixing.
3. Do not use in this Work any concrete not placed within 30 minutes after
leaving the mixer.
4. Thoroughly work concrete around reinforcement and embedded fixtures,
and into comers of forms, during placing operations .
5. Completely compact with tamping poles and by tapping forms until the
concrete is thoroughly compact and without voids. Determine the number
of tampers needed by the amount and method of placing concrete.
6. Exercise care to tamp concrete vigorously and thoroughly to obtain
maximum density.
7. Use manual tampers as well as mechanical vibrators.
a. Exercise care to direct the quick handling of vibrators from one
position to another.
b. Do not over-vibrate concrete.
c. Do not move concrete by use of vibrator.
B. Finishing
1. All formed surfaces exposed to view shall have a smooth form finish.
2. After concrete has been properly placed and cured, sandblast finish if
indicated on the plans and per specification Section 03350.
3.07 PROTECTION
After concrete is placed, finished and cured as required, permit no traffic thereon for
three days thereafter and further protect the surface from damage due to other causes.
