4.01 TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION: It is the meaning and intent of this
contract, unless otherwise hereir. specifically provided, that the contractor
shall be allowed to prosecute his work at such times and seasons, in such
order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conductive to
eccnomy of construction; provided, however, that the order and the time
of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as
a whole and in part, in accordance with this contract, the plans and
specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the Proposal;
provided, also that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract
or by his own force, the Engineer may direct the time and manner of constructing
the work done under this contract, so that conflict will be avoided and the
construction of the various works being done for the OErser shall be harmonised.
The Contractor shall submit, at such times as mAy reasonably be
requested by the Engineer, schedules which shall show the order in which the
Contractor proposes to carry on the work with dates in which the Contractor
will start the several parts of the work, and estimated dates of completion
of the several parts.
4.02 EXTENSION OF TIMES Should the Contractor be delayed in the completion
of the work by any act or neglect of the Owner or Engineer, or of any
employees of either, or by other contractors employed by the Owner, or by
12
changes ordered in the work, or by strikes, lockouts, fires, and unusual
delays by common carriers, or unavoidable cause or causes beyond the
Contractor's control, or by any cause which the Engineer shall decide justifies
the delay, then an extension of time shall be allowed for completing the
work, sufficient to compensate for the delay, the amount of the extension
to be determined by the Engineer; provided, however, that the Contractor
` shall give the Engineer prompt notice in writing of the cause of such delay.
4.03 HINDRANCES AND DELAYS: No claims shall be made by the Contractor for
damages resulting from hindrances or delays from any cause (except where
the work is stopped by order of the Owner) during the progress of any
portion of the work embraced in this contract. In case said work shall be
stopped by the act of the Owner, then such expense as in the judgment of the
Engineer is caused by such stoppage of said work shall be paid by the Owner
to the Contractor.
4.04 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: The Contractor agrees that time is of the
essence on this contract, and that for each day of delay beyond the number
of days herein agreed upon for the completion of the work herein specified
and contracted for (after due allowande for such extension of time as is
provided for under Extension of Time hereinabove), the Amer may withhold
permanently from the Contractor's total compensation, the sum set forth in
the Special Conditions or Special Provisions (or as elsewhere set forth
in these Contract Documents), as.stipulated liquidated damages for such
delay.
5. MEASUREMENT AND PA'z" /ZNT
5.01 QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS: No extra or customary measurements
of any kind will be allowed, but the actual measured and/or computed
length, area, solid contents, number, and weight only shall be considered,
unless otherwise specifically provided.
5.02 ESTIMATED QUANTITIES: This Agreement, including the specifications,
plans and estimate, is intended to show clearly all work to be done and
material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are
shown for the various classes of work to be done and material to be
furnished under this Contract, they are approximate and are to be used only
as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing
the proposals offered for the work. If is understood and agreed that the
actual amount of work to be done and material to be furnished under this
contract may differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis
for payment under this contract is the unit price method, payment shall
be for the actual amount of such work done and the material furnished.
13
1
Where payment is based on the unit price method, the Contractor I
agrees that he will make no claim for damages, anticipated profits
or otherwise on account of any differences which may be found
between the quantities of work actually done, the material actually
furnished under this contract and the estimated quantities contem-
plated and contained in the proposal; provided, however, that in
case the actual quantity of any item should become as much as 25%
more than, or 25% less than the estimated or contemplated quantity
for such items, then either party to this Agreement, upon demand,
shall be entitled to a revised consideration upon the portion of
the work above or below 25% of the estimated quantity.
Any revised consideration is to be determined by agreement between
the parties, otherwise by the terms of this Agreement, as provided
under "Extra Work".
5.03 PRICE OF WORK: In consideration of the furnishing of all the
necessary labor, equipment and material, the completion of all
work by the Contractor, and on the completion of all work and of
the delivery of all material embraced in this contract in full
conformity with the specifications and stipulations herein con-
tained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the prices set
forth in the Proposal hereto attached, which has been made a part
of this contract. The Contractor hereby agrees to receive such
prices in full for furnishing all material and all labor required
for the aforesaid work, also for all expense incurred by him, and
for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in
the manner and according to this Agreement, the attached specifi-
cations, and requirements of the Engineer.
5.04 PARTIAL PAYMENTS: On or before the 10th day of each month
the Engineer shall prepare a statement showing as completely as
practicable the total value of the work done by the Contractor up
to and including the last day of the proceeding month. Said state-
ment shall also include the value of all sound materials delivered
on the site of the work that are to be fabricated into the work.
The owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the 15th
day of the current month the total amount of the Engineer's state-
ment, less 10 per cent of the amount thereof, which 10 percent shall
be retained until final payment and further leas all previous payments
and all further sums as agreed upon. It is understood, however,
that in case the whole work be near to completion and some unex-
pected and unusual delay occurs due to no fault or neglect on the
part of the Contractor, the Owner may, upon written recommendation
of the Engineer, pay a reasonable and equitable portion
14
of the retained percentage to the Contractor; or the Contractor, at the
owner's option, may be relieved of the obligation to fully complete the
work and, thereupon, the Contractor shall receive payment of the balance
due him under the contract subject only to the conditions stated under
"Final Payment".
5.05 USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS: The Owner shall have the right to
take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions
of the work, notwithstanding the time for completing the entire work
ou such portions may not have expired, but such taking possession and
use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in
accordance with the Contract Documents. If such prior use increases
the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor shall be entitled
to such extra compenaation, or extension of time, or both, as the
Engineer may determine.
5.06 FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE: Within ten (10) days after
the Contractor has given the Engineer written notice that the work
has been completed, or substantially completed, the Engineer and the
Owner shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work be
found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents, the Engineer shall issue to the Owner and the
Contractor his Certificate of Completion, and thereupon it shall be
the dt:ty of the Owner within the ten (10) days to issue a Certificate
of Accepts-ice of the work to the Contractor.
5.07 FINAL PAYMFXT: Upon the issuance of the Certificate of Completion,
the Engineer shall proceed to make. final measurements and prepare final
statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished
under the terms of the Agreement and shall certify same to the Owner,
who shall pay to the Contractor on or after the 30th day, and before the
35th day, after the date of the Certificate of Completion, the balance
due the Contractor under the terms of this Agreement, provided he has
fully performed his contractual obligations under the terms of this
contract; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said
performance by the Contractor. Neither the Certificate of Acceptance
nor the final payment, nor any provision in the Contract Documents,
shall relieve the Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of
any warranty which may be required in :he Special Conditions of the
Specifications.
5.08 PAYMENTS WITHHELD: The Owner :nay, on account of subsequently
discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any
certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself
from loss on account of:
15
a. Defective work not remedied
b. Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating probable
filing or claims
c. Failure of the Contractor to make payments properly to
sub-contractors or for materials or labor
d. Damage to another contractor
When the sbove grounds are removed, or the Contractor provided a Surety
Bond satisfactory to the Owner, which will protect the Owner in the
amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of
them.
5.09 DELAYED PAYMENTS: Should the Owner fail to make payment to the
Contractor of the sum named in any partial or final statement, when
payment is due, or should the Engineer fail to issue any statement
on or before the date above provided, then the Owner shall pay to the
Contractor, in addition to the sum shown as due by such statement,
interest thereon at the rate of six (6) per cent per annum, unless
otherwise specified, from date due as provided under "Partial Payments"
and "Final Payments", until fully paid, which shall fully liquidate
any injury to the Contractor growing out of such delay in payment,
but the right is expressl; reserved to the Contractor in the event
payments be not promptly ~rde, as provided under "Partial Payments",
at any time thereafter to treat the contract as abandoned by the owner
and recover compensation, as provided under "Abandonment of Contract",
unless such paym-rats ar^ withheld in accordance with the provisions
of "Payments Withhel
6. EXTRA WORK AND CLAIMS
6.01 EXTRA WORK: It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all
Extra Work under the direction of the Engineer when presented with a
Written Work Order signed by the Engineer, subject however, to the
right of the Contractor to require a written confirmation of such
Extra Work Order by the Owner. 1: is also agreed that the compensation
to be paid the Contractor for performing said Extra Work shall be
determined by one or more of the following methods:
Method A - By agreed unit prices; or
Method B - By agreed lump sum; or
Method C - If neither Method A nor Method B be agreed upon
before the Extra Work is commenced, "hen the
Contractor shall be paid the "actual field cost"
of the work, plus fifteen (15) per cent.
16
In the event, said Extra Work be performed and paid for under
Method C, then the provisions of til.S paragraph shall apply and the
"actual field cost" is hereby defined to include the cost of all
workmen, such as foremen, timekeepers, mechanics. and laborers, and
materials, supplies, teams, trucks, and rentals on machinery and
equipment, for the time actually employed or used on such Extra
work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred
together with all power, fuel, lubricants, water, and similar
operating expenses, also all necessary incidental expenses incurred
directly on account of such Extra Work, Including Social Security,
Old Age Benefits and other payroll taxes, and a rateable proportion
of premiums on Performance and Payment Bonds, and Maintenance Bonds,
and on Public Liability and Property Damage, and Workmen's Compen-
sation, and all other insurance as may be required by any law or
ordinance, or directly by the Engineer or Owner, or by them agreed
to. The Engineer may direct the form in which accounts of the
"actual field cost" shall be kept and the records of these accounts
shall be made available to the Engineer. The Engineer may also
specify in writing before the work commences the method of doing
the work and the type and kind of machinery and eqpipment to be used;
otherwise these matters shall be determined by the Contractor. Unless
otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and
equipment shall be determined by using 100 per cent, unless otherwise
specified, of the latest schedule of Equipment Ownership Expense
adopted by the Associated General Contractors of America. Where
practicable the terms and prices for the use of machinery and
equipment shall be incorporated in the Written Extra Work Order. The
fifteen (1:+) per cent of the "actual field cost" to be paid the
Contractor shall cover azd compensate him for his profit, overhead,
general superintendance, and field office expense, and all other elements
of cost and expense not #.mbraced within the "actual field cost" as
hereindefined, save that where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office
must be maintained primarily on account of such Extra Work; then the
cost to maintain and operate the same shall be included in the
"actual field coat."
No claim for Extra Work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in
writing by the Engineer. In case any orders or instructions, either
oral or written, appear to the Contractor to involve Extra Work for
which he should !receive compensation or an adjustment in the construction
time, he shall make written request to the Engineer for written order
authorizing such Extra Work. Should a difference of opinion arise as
to what does or does not constitute Extra Work, or as to the payment
therefor. and the Engineer insists upon its performance, the Contractor
17
v
p.K
shall proceed with the work after making written request for written
order and shall keep an accurate account of the "actual field cost"
thereof, as provided under Method C. The Contractor will thereby
preserve the right to submit the matter of payment to arbitration,
as hereinbelow provided.
6.02 TIME OF FILING CLAIMS: It is further agreed by both parties
hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the
Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Engineer within
thirty (30) days after the Zngineer has given any directions, order
or instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception.
The Engineer shall, within a reasonable time, reply to such written
exceptions by the Contractor and render his final decision in writing.
In case the Contractor should appeal from the Engineer's decision,
a demand for arbitration shall be filed with the Engineer and the
Owner in writing within ten (10) days after the date of delivery
to Contractor of the Engineer's final decision. It is further
agreed that final acceptance of the work by the Owner and the
acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be a bar
to any claims by either party, except where noted otherwise in the
Contract Documents.
6.03 ARBITRATION: All questions of dispute under this Agreement
shall be submitted to arbitration at the request of either party
to the dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbiter; otherwise,
there shall be t1r,ee, one named in writing by each patty and the
third chosed by the two arbiters so selected; or if the arbiters
fail to select a third within ten (10) days, he shall be chosen by
a District Judge serving the County in which the major portion of
the project is located, unless otherwise specified. Should the
party demanding arbitration fail to name an arbiter w.'.thin ten (10)
days, the Engineer shall appoint such arbiter. Should either party
refuse or neglect to supply the arbiters with any papers or informa-
tion demanded in writing, the arbiters and empowered by both patties
to take ex parte proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any two
shall be binding on both parties to the contract. The decision of
the arbiters upon any question submitted to arbitration under this
contract shall be a condition precedent to any right of legal action.
The decision of the arbiter or arbiters may be filed is court to
tarry it into effect.
The arbiter, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized to
award the party whose contention is sustained, such sums as they
deem proper for the time, expense and trouble incident to the
appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable cause, they
may award damages for delay occasioned thereby. The arbiters
18
shall fix their own compensation, unless otherwise provided by
agreement, and shall assess the coat and charges of the arbitration
upon either or both parties. V -e award of the arbiters must be
made in writing.
7. ABANDONMENT OF CONTRACT
7.01 ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR: In case the Contractor should
abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days
after written notification from the Owner, or the Engineer, or
if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of the Engineer
when such orders are consistent with the Contract Doc=ents, then,
and in that case, where performance and payment bonds exist, the
Surety on the bonds shall be notified in writing and directed to
complete the work, and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to
the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor shall
not remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials,
or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any
materials and equipment under contract for the work, may be held
for use on the work by the Owner or the surety on the performance
and payment bonds, or another contractor in completion of the work;
and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefor
(except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall
be allowed as provided for under Section b, Extra Bork and Claims),
it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials
will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and be reflected
in the final settlement.
Where there is no performance bond provided or in case the Surety
should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion
hereinbefore, within ten (10) days after service of such notice,
then the owner may provide for completion of the work in either of
the following elective manners:
7.011 The Owner may thereupon employ such force if men and
use such machinery, equipment, toolF, materials, and supplies as
said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the
expense of such labor, machinery, equipment,tools, materials, and
►\~ppliea to said Contractor, and expense so charged shall be
ded,etted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may thereafter
at any time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreeme,.t. In case such expense is less than the sum which would
have been p±yable under this contract if the same had been completed
by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference.
19
In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been
payable under this contract if the same had been completed by said
Contractor, then the Contractor and/or 14s Surety shall pay the
amount of such excess to the Omer; or
7.012 The Owner, under sealed bids, after five (5) days notice
published one or more times in a newspaper having general circulation
in the county of the location of the work, may let the contract for
the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and
conditions which are provided in this contract. In case of any
increase In cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared
to what would have been the cost under this contract, such increases
shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and
remain bound therefor. However, should the cost to complete any
such new contract prove to be less than what would have been the
cost to complete under this contract, the Contractor and/or his
Surety shall be credited with the difference.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor
and his Surety shall be so notified and Certificates of Completion
and Acceptance, as provided in.Paragraph 5.06 hereinabove, shall
be issued. A complete itemized statement of the contract amounts,
certified by the Engineer as being correct, shall then be prepared
and delivered to the Contractor and his Surety, whereupon the
Contractor and/or his Surety must pay any amount due the Owner, as
indicated by said statement, within fifteen (15) days after the date
of such Certificate of Completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete
the work is less than that which would have been the coat to the
Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms
of this Contract, then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials,
or supplies left on the site of work shall be turned over to the
Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work
exceed the contract price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety
fail to pay the amount due to the Owner within the time designated
hereinabove, and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools,
materials, or supplies on the site of work, notice.thereof, together
with ai itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed
to the Contractor as designated in this contract; provided, however,
that a;tual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this
condition. After mailing, or. other giving of such notice, such
property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and his Surety
subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to
protect such property. After fifteen (15) days from the late of
20
I
I
said notice the Owner may sell such machinery, equipment, tools,
materials, or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such
sale to the credit of the Contractor and his Surety. Such sale
may be made at either public or private sales, with or without
notice, as the Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any
machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies, which remain
on the work and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his
Surety, to their proper owners. The books on all operations here-
in shall be open to the Contractor and his Surety.
~I
7.02 ABANDONMENT BY OWNER: In case the Owner shall fail to comply
with the terms of this Contract, and should fail or refuse to comply
with said terms within ten (10) days after written notification by
the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon
the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and
equipment, and all materials on the site of work that have not been
included in payments to the Contractor and have not been wrought
into the work. And thereupon, the Engineer shall make an estimate
of the total amount earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall
include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor
(at the prices stated in the attached proposal where unit prices
" are used), the value of all partially completed work at a fair and
equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the
prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract,
and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by
the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion and which
can be utilized. The Engineer shall then make a final statement
of the balance due to the Contractor by deducting from the above
estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums
that may be retained by the Owner under the terms of this Agree-
ment, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay to the
Contractor, on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the
notification by the Contractor, the balance shown by said final
statement as due the Contractor under the terms of this
Agreement.

DETAIL SPECIFICATIONS
SECTION - 100 GENERAL
100.1 MATERIALS: These specifications are intended to be so written that
only materials of the beat quality and grade will be furnished. The fact
that the specifications may fail to be sufficiently complete in some
detail will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility for providing
materials of high quality and protecting them adequately until incorporation
in the project, The specifications for materials set out the minimum
standard of quality which the Owner believes necessary to procure a
satiefrctory project. No substitutions will be permitted until the
Contractor has received written permission of the Engineer to make a
substitution for the material which has been specified.
100.2 WORKMANSHIP: These specifications contain detail instructions and
descriptions covering the major items of construction and workmanship
necessary for building and completing the various units or elements of
the project. The specifications are intended to be so written than only
first class workmanship and finish of the beat grade and quality will
result. The fact that these specifications may fail to be so complete
as to cover all details will not relieve the Contractor of full responsibility
for providing a completed project of high quality, first class finish and
appearance, and satisfactory for operation, all within the apparent intent
of the plans and specifications.
100.3 HANDLING MATERIALS NOT APPROVED: The Contractor shall remove from
the site any materials found to be damaged, and any materials not meeting
the specifications. These materials shall be removed promptly, unless
the Engineer will accept the materials after repairing. Materials which
are installed and found damaged or not acceptable, shall be removed and
replaced. Inspection before installation shall not relieve the Contractor
from responsibility.to furnish good quality materials.

SECTION 101 - CLEARING AND GRUBBING
101.1 CLEARING SITE: Site clearing shall include the removal and disposal
of all existing materials to the extent as shown within construction limits
on the plans, including asphalt surface, trees, brush, and all other materials
not to be incorporated in the completed work/ The trees and brush designated
for preservation shall be carefully trimmed as directed and shall be pro-
tected from scarring, barking, or other injuries during construction operations.
101.2 GRUBBING: On areas required for construction of embankments, all
stumps, roots, etc., shall be removed to a depth of at least one foot
below the existing ground surface.
On the areas required for borrow sites and material soucesi stumps, roots,
etc., shall be removed to the complete extent necessary to prevent such
objectionable natter from becoming mixed with the material to be used in
construction.
101.3. CLEANING UP: All materials cleared and grubbed shall be disposed
of, and at'the time of final acceptance of the project, thL. work shall
present a neat appearance, free from ell weeds, brush, rubbish, and
stumps.
101:4 MUSUREMEN't AND P4Y NT: Clearing and grubbing work will not be
measured for direct'psyment, but will be considered as subsidiary work
partaining`tolthe varfous items of the'Contract, and payment therefor
shail"be'i'cludad'kn't6 'Contract unit prices as shown on the'proposal.

102.1 PREPARATION FOR PLACING:
EMBANKMENT: Prior to placing a-ky embankment material, the
area upon which it is to be placed shall be scarified or roughened
by plowing parallel to contours or perpendicular to the natural slope
of the ground. It is essential that the ground be a roughened condition
to provide good bond when the first lift of embankment is placed.
PLACING EMBANKKENTs The embankment shall be constructed to
the elevation, lines, grades, and slopes shown on the drawings, and as
staked on the ground by the Engineer.
No frozen material shall be placed in any portion of the embankment nor
shall materials be placed on a frozen surface. No roots, trash, or
debris will be allowed in the embankment. After the subgrade or
base has been prepared as described above, the placing of embankment
material shall proceed as follows:
Upon the wetted subgrade, suitable earthen material shall
be placed in horizontal layers, not to exceed eight (811)
inches in thickness, loose, and leveled by road grader, bull-
dozer, or other approved means. Each layer shall be thoroughly
and uniformly wetted to approximately optimum moisture content
to obtain maximum density in the embankment. Final compaction
shall be at least 952 Standard Proctor. The embankment shall

oars shall be deformed. Reinforcing mesh shall be woven or
electrically welded wire m?sh fabric, cold drawn mild steel con-
forming to ASTM Designation A185-37.
103.2 BENDING: The reinforcement shall be bent cold to shapes
indicated on the plans. All bending of hard grade and rail-steel
bars shall be done in the shop. Bending of other grades. shall
preferably be done in the shop. Bends shall be true"to the shapes
indicated, and irregularities in bending for stirrups and ties
shall be made around a pin having a diameter of not less than three f
times the minimum thickness of the bar.
103.3 STORING OF STEEL: Steel reinforcement shall be stored above
the surface of the ground upon plaLL'orms, skids, or other supports
and shall be protected as far as practicable from mechan:.cal injury
and surface deterioration caused by exposure to conditions produ r
ing rust. When placed in the work it shall be free from dirt,.
scale, rust, dust, paint, oil or other foreign material.
103.4 PLACING AND MAINTAINING REINFORCEMENT: The steel shall be
placed in the forms exactly as shown on the plans. It shall be
maintained in place by wiring, by blocks of "one to two" mortar
properly grooved to hold the bars from lateral displacement, or
by an other effective means approved by the Engineer. In instances
where two or three layers of reinforcement are shown, approved
spacing blocks shall also be placed between each layer, spaced
sufficiently close together to prevent appreciable sag of the bars.
The slab reinforcement shall be raised nf.f the forms by means of
small concrete blocks of mixture as mentioned above and shall be t
wired to the longitudinal bars to maintain the proper spacing. It
is very important that the length of the bare, spacing and bending
points in same be maintained as shown on the plans. Where splicing
is necessary, the bars shall be lapped at least 24 bar diameters,
but no bar shall be spliced at points of maximum tension. At all ,
corners and junctions, the reinforcement must tie together so that
the strength of the junction shall equal the strength of the wall
or member, with bends and laps of at least 24 bar diameters.
103.5 INSPECTION: All reinforcing steel is to be inspected after 1
placing and approval by the Engineer. Not until this inspection
has been made, and approval obtained, may ths'pouring of concrete

SECTION 104 - PREPARATION OF SUBGRADE INCLUDING LIME APPLICATIOX t
104.1 DESCRIPTION: After removing- all material to top of subgrade: E
as shown on Plana, the base shall be scarified to a depth of six (6") c
inches, then wind-rowed, bladed, and prepared to receive the lime for p
stabilization. The subgrade shall then be pulverized completely with
an approved pulvimixer until all lumps and clods are thoroughly
pulverized.
i'
104.2 METHOD OF APPLYING LIME: Lime shall be applied to the prepared
subgrade so that the initial operation can be completed during the
same day. The application of the lime in the subgrade shall be i
accomplished by the method hereinafter called the "Slurry Method".
The required amount of lime and water shall be determined by a
laboratory at the expense of the Owner. !
104.3 APPLICATION OF LIME TO SUBGRADE: The slurry will be applied with
an approved distributor or water truck by making successive passes, if C
necessary, to apply the correct amount: of lime. The distributor or water
tank will be equipped with an agitator to keep the slurry in a consistent
mixture.
104.4 INITIAL MIXING WITH A DIST HARROW will follow lime application
immediately. After initial mixing, the subgrade will be lightly compacted
with a pneumatic roller to protect against rain damage. The subgrade
will be allowed to cure from twenty-four (24) to forty-eight (48) hours.
104.5 AT THE CONCLUSION OF INITIAL CURING final mixing shall begin.
The lightly compacted subgrade will be scarified to the required depth.
A high speed rotar-I mixer, such as a Seamon-nndwall Pulvi-mixer, will
follow until all clay .:lods will pass a one inch screen. The subgrade
material shall then be brought to optimum moisture. i
104.6 FINAL COMPACTION SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED in single or multiple lifts,
depending on the equipment used. In either case, the subgrade will be
compacted from the bottom up to at least 95% of Standard Proctor. Moisture
density test will be made continuously during compaction.
'104.7 AFTER FINAL COMPACTION has been attained, the subgrade shall be
• moistened, if necessary, shaped to final lines, grades, and cross-section,
and shall have a uniform surface, free from compaction planes. t~t
f104.8 FOLLOWING FINAL COMPACITON AND SHAPING., the roadway will be closed
to all heavy traffic and allowed to cure for 5 days. At the conclusion
of the curing period, the base material will be laid in the normal manner. t
104.9 THE PREPARATION OF THE SUBGRADE, including lime application, will
be a pay item. -This will include all necessary items needed to complete
the -lob, except the lime which will be a separate pay itea. The limits
of the prepared subgrade shall'be the entire width of the paved area
extending six (b") inches back of the curb on both sides.
