8. Cementious matter
9. Foreign matter of any kind
B. Unsuitable materials will be disposed of as "waste" as specified in Section 02100.
C. Wet Material: If fill material is unsatisfactory for use as embankment solely because of
high moisture content, the Architect/Engineer may grant the Contractor permission to
process the material to reduce the moisture content to a usable optimum condition.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
� 3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02100, shall be
performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the
entire area of earthwork operations.
�

�
J
��'!
3.02 TOPSOIL
A. The removal and storage of topsoil shail occur after site preparation is cornplete 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 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.
n C. Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will
U later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shali be out of the way of earthwork operations in
locations approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept
0 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.
E. Replacement: Topsoil wiil 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
J turfgrass 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,
embankment construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are
completed. Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as
specified in Section 02100.
2. At this Park, the Architect/Engineer shall permit the Contractor to "waste" the
surplus by constructing additional embankment in an approved location. No
additional payment for such work would be due that Contractor.
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 below rec�uired
subgrade 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 EMBAlVICMENT
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed
in unclassified excavation and/or imported filt. The construction of embankment
includes preparing the area on which fiil is to be placed and the depositing,
conditionin�, 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. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the
typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall
EAItTHWORK
02200
-4-
�
� 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.
�
�I
',
�
J
�
�
�
�
�
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to
be placed. The subgrade 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 ec�uipment weighing approximately 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 sprinkling and rolling.
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 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 shail 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 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 inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless
otherw�se permitted, each layer of fill mater�al shall cover the length and width of the
� area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of
fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times.
J
J
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.

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 embankment 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 90 percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus 4 percent or minus
2 percentage points of optimum moisture content.
B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top 6 inches of natural earth
comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be 95 percent
to 98 percent of Standard Density ASTM D698 with the moisture content at minus 2
percent to plus 4 percent of optimum.
3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all
embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select
embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss
of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of 2
percent below optimum in the top 12 inches of the fill will require that the top 12 inches 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 subjrade. 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.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 GENERAI.,
All turfing operations are to be executed across the slope, parallel to finished grade contours.
3.02 SOIL PREPARATION
A. Scarify subgrade to a depth of three inches before depositing the rec�uired topsoil.
B. Tillage shall be accomplished to loosen the topsoil, destroy existing vegetation and
prepare an acceptable sod bed. All areas shall be tilled with a heavy duty disc or a chisel-
type breaking plow, chisels set not more than ten inches apart. Initial tillage shall be done
in a crossing pattern for double coverage, then followed by a disc harrow. Depth of tillage
shall be five inches. A heavy duty rototiller may be used for areas to be planted with sod.
C. Cleaning: Soil shall be further prepared by the removal of debris, building materials,
rubbish, weeds and stones larger than one inch in diameter.
D Fine Grading: After tillage and cleaning, all areas to be planted shall be topdressed with
one-half inch compost and then shall be leveled, fine graded, and drug with a weighted
spike harrow or float drag. The required result shall�be the elimination of ruts,
depressions, humps and objectionable soil clods. This shall be the final soil preparation
step to be completed before planting.
3.03 PLANTING
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 rolling or by hand tamping with an approved tamper 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, turfgrass 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.
