SECTION 02200 <br /> EARTHWORK <br /> 1. SCOPE <br /> 1.1 WORK INCLUDED: This Section includes construction of earth embankments <br /> and placement of embankment fills to construct final slopes to the established <br /> lines and grades at the locations shown on the Contract Drawings and as <br /> directed by the Engineer. <br /> 1.2 DEFINITIONS <br /> 1.2.1 Relative Compaction: "Relative compaction" is defined as the ratio, in <br /> percent, of the as-compacted field dry density to the laboratory maximum <br /> dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. Corrections for oversize <br /> material may be applied to either the as-compacted field dry density or the <br /> maximum dry density, as determined by the Engineer. <br /> 1.2.2 Optimum Moisture Content: "Optimum moisture content"shall be <br /> determined by the ASTM D 698 to determine the maximum dry density for <br /> relative compaction. Field moisture content shall be determined on the <br /> basis of the fraction passing the 3/ inch sieve. <br /> 1.2.3 Engineer: The licensed engineer in the State of Colorado designated to <br /> perform construction inspection services and administrative functions on <br /> behalf of the Owner. <br /> 1.3 SUBMITTALS <br /> 1.3.1 All submittals, including drawings and calculations, shall be required for <br /> the sole purpose of providing Engineer sufficient details to confirm that the <br /> Contractor's planned work and work in progress is in accordance with <br /> Contract Documents. Engineer's review shall not be construed to relieve <br /> Contractor in anyway of responsibilities under the Contract. Do not begin <br /> work on any item requiring a submittal until the required relevant <br /> submittals have been reviewed and approved by the Engineer. All <br /> structural designs and other engineered components shall be signed and <br /> sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Colorado. <br /> 1.3.2 Preconstruction Submittals—Submit to the Engineer the following a <br /> minimum of three weeks before the scheduled start of the applicable <br /> activity: <br /> A. A work plan for the earthwork that describes equipment means <br /> and methods anticipated for this project. <br /> 1.4 TESTING <br /> 1.4.1 All testing, including field and laboratory services,will be completed by the <br /> Owner. <br /> 02200-1 <br />
