K. Bedding Fill
Bedding Fill shall be placed within the limits of the valley leach facility as shown on the
DRAWINGS.
CONTRACTOR shall place and compact the Bedding Fill in loose lifts such that the
compacted lift thickness is a minimum of 12- inches. CONTRACTOR shall condition the
Bedding Fill to allow a surface that does not cause rutting or other deleterious effects. The
moisture content and density shall be uniform throughout the lift. If a lift of compacted
Bedding Fill dries out during placement operations, CONTRACTOR shall scarify,
moisture condition the dry soil and recompact the lift. If a lift of compacted Bedding Fill
becomes overly wet due to precipitation or over watering, CONTRACTOR shall allow the
wet soil to dry to the specified moisture content range before recompaction of fill and
placement of geosynthetic materials.
CONTRACTOR shall assist CQA Monitor in obtaining soil samples for CQA testing.
Bedding Fill sampling shall be scheduled by CQA Monitor with CONTRACTOR to
facilitate CQA field testing.
4. CONTRACTOR shall trim the surface of the Bedding Fill to the design grades shown on
the DRAWINGS.
5. CONTRACTOR shall roll the surface of the Bedding Fill with a smooth drum roller to
remove ridges and surface irregularities greater than 0.5 inches in height. CERTIFYING
ENGINEER shall determine if surface preparation is sufficient to place geomembrane. On
areas with slopes steeper than 3H:1 V, CONTRACTOR shall adopt methods as necessary to
obtain the same final surface preparations that would be obtained by the passage of a
smooth -drum roller on flat or level ground. Pushing of compaction equipment by tracked
equipment shall not be performed. Wheel ruts on the surface of the Bedding Fill from
grading equipment shall be repaired by CONTRACTOR prior to placement of the
geomembrane by rolling the surface as approved by CQA Monitor. CONTRACTOR shall
take whatever steps necessary to prepare Soil Liner Fill surface to the satisfaction of
MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER, at no additional cost to CC &V.
6. CONTRACTOR shall maintain the Bedding Fill surface in a condition suitable for
geomembrane installation as specified in these SPECIFICATIONS and in the CQA Plan
until the surface is covered. CONTRACTOR shall repair all weather related damage to
Bedding Fill surfaces or other portions of the Work that have or have not been covered by
geomembrane, at no additional cost to CC &V.
If any moisture is allowed to collect under the geomembrane prior to or after final seaming
and softens the Bedding Fill, the geomembrane shall be removed and CONTRACTOR
shall recondition and recompact the Soil Liner Fill to meet all placement and trimming
SPECIFICATIONS, at no additional cost to CC &V.
7. CONTRACTOR shall remove all hubs and survey stakes in the Bedding Fill and backfill
all holes with MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER approved material.
CONTRACTOR shall verify the final thickness of Bedding Fill to determine compliance
with this SPECIFICATION. CONTRACTOR shall record as part of the as -built
documentation the location, elevation, and thickness of each Bedding Fill verification test.
CQA Monitor will witness all verification measurements. Areas with deficiencies shall be
