Rough grading of all areas within the construction limits, including adjacent transition areas shall be reasonably smooth and compacted. The rough graded subgrade surface generally shall not be more than 6 inches above or below the established subgrade elevations. All ditches, swales, and gutters shall be graded to drain adequately. The subgrade shall be evenly sloped to provide drainage away from building walls in all directions at a minimum slope of 1%. The Contractor shall provide rounded transitions at top and bottom of banks and other breaks in grade. 2. Fill and backfill materials shall be inorganic soils, free of roots, rocks, boulders, and debris. 3. Bedding material or granular backfill larger than 2" in its largest dimension shall not be allowed within 2 feet of new underground pipes. Material larger than 3" in its largest dimension shall not be allowed within 1 foot of subgrade elevation. 4.

The proposed imported fill material shall be tested by an independent testing lab for suitability as compacted fill for this project. The Contractor shall pay for the testing services and provide a copy of the test results to the Engineer. 5. The Contractor shall fill and grade as necessary to bring surfaces to required elevations, and provide all materials necessary, whether obtained on or off the project site. 6. The Contractor shall place compacted material in uniform horizontal lifts not exceeding 8" in depth for clay soils, and 12" in depth for sandy soils, and compact as required to achieve specified density. 7. Compaction shall be obtained with the use of vibratory rollers or rammers. During compaction, fill material shall contain moisture content, as necessary, for the required compaction as indicated by an independent testing laboratory. The moisture shall be uniform throughout each lift. If the material is too dry, water shall be added with approved equipment and methods, which will not wash out fine material. If the material is too wet, it shall be dried by harrowing, disking, blading, or other approved methods recommended by the independent testing laboratory. 8. Areas designated for pavement in excavated (cut) areas shall be scarified to a depth of 1 foot. The Contractor shall bring the subgrade material to optimum moisture content as indicated by the independent testing laboratory, and compact the subgrade to the specified density listed below for soils underneath pavements. 9. The Contractor shall not place fill material when either the fill material, or the material on which it is to be placed, is frozen. Any soft or yielding areas appearing in the fill resulting from frost, rain, or any other reason whatsoever shall be scarified, removed, recompacted and/or otherwise rectified to the satisfaction of the Engineer before any new fill is placed. UNFORESEEN OBSTACLES 1.
