Upon completion of the Surveyor's work. the Landscape Architect shall review the final setting of the trail centerline on the site with the Surveyor and Contractor for adjustments and review. EXCAVATION: Excavation is Unclassified, and includes excavation to subgrade as indicated, regardless of character of materials and obstructions encountered. The Contractor shall perform excavation to the dimensions and elevations indicated on the drawings for the trail and work incidental thereto. Excavated materials to be reused for backfill or other purposes shall be piled away from the edge of the excavated area in approved locations. Excess material from excavation not suitable nor required for backfill or other purposes shall be hauled from the site and disposed of legally. Do not excavate to full depth when rain or freezing conditions are imminent. EXCAVATION OF ROCK: Where rock is encountered which cannot be excavated or removed by conventional earthmoving equipment, remove or excavate such materials b}t'means which will neither cause additional cost to the Owner nor endanger buildings or improvements on or off the site. Where rock or shale is encountered in trenches, a layer of rock-free gravel (1/4-inch maximum size) or sand shall be hand tamped over the trench bottom, with the trench excavated deeper as required for this purpose. This layer shall be a minimum of 4" thick. Where wet or unstable soil that is incapable of properly supporting the trail is encountered, such soil shall be removed to the depth required and the trench backfilled to the proper grade with coarse sand, fine gravel, shale, or other equivalent material.

Excavate to depths as specified. Excavate to width shown ondrawir19s Trench bottom shall have proper and uniform grade. Bottoms of all trenches shall be trimmed by hand or by a suitably shaped excavator bucket. FILLING AND BACKFILLING: Backfill excavations as promptly as progress of the work permits, but not until completion of the following: Acceptance of construction below grade. Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of underground utilities, to be logged with General Contractor. Removal of trash and debris. Ground Surface Preparation: Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills. When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under "Compaction" for particular area classification, break up ground surface, pulverize, moisture-condition to optimum moisture content, and compact to required depth and percentage of maximum density. COMPACTION: Placing and Compaction: Backfill to rough grade by placing backfill and fill materials in layers not more than 8 inches in loose depth for material compacted by heavy compaction equipment, and not more than 4 inches to 6 inches in loose depth for material compacted by mechanical hand tampers. Exercise care not to displace grade beams, foundations, walls, tanks, piping, etc. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide optimum moisture content. Compact each layer to required percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or fill materials on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, piping or conduit to required elevations. Take care to prevent wedging action of backfill against structures or displacement of piping or conduit by carrying material uniformly around structure, piping or conduit to approximately same elevation in each lift. General: Control soil compaction during construction providing minimum percentages of density specified for each area classification indicated. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: Compact soil to not less than the following percentages of maximum density for soils which exhibit a well-defined moisture density relationship (cohesive soils) determined in accordance with ASTM D 1557, and not less than the following percentages of relative density, determined in
9020
SITE EARTHWORK
02200 - 5
accordance with ASTM D 2049, for soils which will not exhibit a well-defined moisturedensity relationship (cohesionless soils) . . Trail with asphalt or gravel pavement: Compact top 12" of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 90% maximum dry density for cohesive material or 80% relative density for cohesion less material. Shoulders: Compact top 6" of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 85% maximum dry density for cohesive soils and 70% relative density for cohesionless soils. Should a dispute arise as to the numerical value of the maximum density on which compaction is based, as performed by the General Contractor's testing agent, the Contractor may elect to have testing done by another independent testing laboratory, at the Contractor's expense, for review by the Site Engineer. Records of such tests shall be submitted to the General Contractor and Owner. Moisture Control: Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface of subgrade, or layer of soil material. Apply water in manner to prevent free water appearing on the surface during or subsequent to compaction operations. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified density. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrowing, or pulverizing until moisture content is reduced to a satisfactory value. GRADING: General: Uniformly grade areas within limits of grading under this section, including adjacent transition areas. Smooth finished surface within specified tolerances, compact with uniform levels or slopes between points where elevations are indicated, or between such points and existing grades. Grading Around Bridges and Structures: Grade areas adjacent to bridges and structures to drain away from structures and to prevent ponding. Finish surfaces free from irregular surface changes, and as follows: Pavements: Shape surface of areas under pavement to line, grade and crosssection, with finish surface not more than 1/2 inch above or below required subgrade elevation. PAVEMENT SUBBASE COURSE: General: Subbase course consists of placing subbase material for the asphalt paved section of the trail, in layers of specified thickness, over subgrade surface to support an asphalt pavement base course. See Section 02513 for asphalt paving specifications. Grade Control: During construction, maintain lines and grades including crown and cross-slope of subbase course.
9020
SITE EARTHWORK
02200 - 6
Shoulders: Place shoulders along edges of subbase course to prevent lateral movement. Construct shoulders of acceptable soil materials, placed in such quantity to compact to thickness of each subbase course layer. Compact and roll at least a two-foot width of shoulder simultaneously with compacting and rolling of each subbase course. Placing: Place subbase course material on prepared subgrade in layers of uniform thickness, conforming to indicated cross-section and thickness. Maintain optimum moisture content for compacting subbase material during placement operations. When a compacted subbase course is shown to be 6" thick or less, place material in a single layer. When shown to be more than 6" thick, place material in equal layers, except no single layer more than 6" or less than 3" in thickness when compacted. FIELP QUALITY CONTROL: Quality Control Testing During Construction: Allow General Contractor's testing service to inspect and approve subgrades and fill layers before further construction work is performed. Testing service shall perform field density tests in accordance with ASTM D 1556 (sand cone method) or ASTM D 2167 (rubber balloon methOd), as applicable. If, in opinion of the Landscape Architect or Site Engineer, based on testing service reports and inspection, subgrade or fills which have been placed are below specified density, the Contractor shall provide additional compaction and testing at no additional cost to the Owner. MAINTENANCE: Protection of Graded Areas: Protect newly graded areas from traffic and erosion. Keep free of trash and debris. Repair and re-establish grades in settled, eroded, and rutted areas to specified tolerances. Reconditioning Compacted Areas: Where completed compacted areas are disturbed by subsequent construction operations or adverse weather, scarify surface, re-shape, and compact to required density prior to further construction. Settling: Where settling is measurable or observable at excavated areas during general project warranty period, remove surface (pavement, or other finish), add backfill material, compact, and replace surface treatment. Restore appearance, quality, and condition of surface or finish to match adjacent work, and eliminate evidence of restoration to greatest extent possible.

ASPHALTIC PRIME COAT: Apply at rate of 0.20 to 0.50 gallon per square yard over compacted subbase. Apply material to penetrate and seal, but not flood, surface. Cure and dry as long as necessary to attain penetration and evaporation of volatile. Allow to dry until at proper condition to receive paving. PLACEMENT OF BITUMINOUS PAVING: General: Place bituminous paving mixture on prepared surface, spread and strike-off. Spread mixture at minimum temperature of 225 degrees F (107 degrees C). Place inaccessible and small areas by hand. Place each course to required grade, crosssection, and compacted thickness. Paver Placing: Place in strips not less than 8-feet wide. After first strip has been placed and rolled, place succeeding strips and extend rolling to overlap previous strips. Complete base course for a section before placing surface course. Joints: Make joints between old and new pavements, or between successive days' work, to ensure continuous bond between adjoining work. Construct joints to have same texture, density, and smoothness as other sections of bituminous paving course. Clean contact surfaces and apply tack coat. Tack Coat: Apply to contact surfaces of previously constructed asphalt or portland cement concrete and surfaces abutting or projecting into asphalt concrete pavement. Distribute at rate of 0.05 to 0.15 gal. per sq. yd. of surface. Allow to dry until at proper condition to receive paving. ROLLING OF BITUMINOUS PAVING: General: Begin rolling when mixture will bear roller weight without excessive displacement. Compact mixture with hot hand tampers or vibrating plate compactors in areas inaccessible to rollers. Breakdown Rolling: Accomplish breakdown or initial rolling immediately following rolling of jOints and outside edge. Check surface after breakdown rolling, and repair displaced areas by loosening and filling, if required, with hot material. Second Rolling: Follow breakdown rolling as soon as possible, while mixture is hot. Continue second rolling until mixture has been thoroughly compacted. Finish Rolling: Perform finish rolling while mixture is still warm enough for removal of roller marks. Continue rolling until roller marks are eliminated and course has attained maximum density. Patching: Remove and replace paving areas mixed with foreign materials, defective areas, areas which puddle, and/or do not drain. Cut-out such areas and fill with fresh, hot asphalt concrete. Compact by rolling to maximum surface density and smoothness.

PART 3 • EXECUTION
Site Clearance: Remove gates, fencing and approach pads from structures and protect site with temporary barricades to prevent accidental use of bridge structure until railings and approach fencing is installed. Layout: Confirm all span lengths and establish layout of existing and/or replacement ties to permit later insertion of bridge floor beams. Tie Installation: Install new and/or replacement ties on structure and two (2) new approach deck ties for each abutment backwall location and install temporary spacers. This work will involve renotching some ties and trimming or grooving two ties on spans that have upstanding angles on the top flange. Cut a 3-1/2 in. wide by 1 in. deep (approximate) notch on both sides of all ties to receive lower chord member of trusses. Verify that all notches are in horizontal alignment and bottom of notches are at same elevation. ARRroach Slab Installation: After the bollard footing and adjacent end posts are placed (see Section 02600 - Finish Sitework) the 10 ft. X 10 ft. bituminous approach pad can be installed at each end of each bridge. Footbridge Installation: The footbridge spans should be installed by lifting or rolling the manufactured structure into place and inserting the lower chord into the notched ties. This placement must be done from deck level or above. Under no circumstances will the streams below the bridges be disturbed or entered during the installation of the bridge structures. Securing the Structures: The hold down bolts and adjacent railing bolts should be installed as soon as the structures are properly positioned. The hold down locations (nearest floor beam to the 1/3 points) should be established and field drilled to enable the insertion of the bolts to secure the pedestrian structure to the existing railroad bridge. Verify that no obstruction exists before drilling any floor beam. DisRosal of Material: Remove all demolished concrete, discard ties, planking, trash and debris from the site and legally dispose of it off Owner's property. Comply with legal disposal of waste materials. END OF SECTION 02990
