ITEM 9 REVEGETATION AND FINAL GRADING <br /> This Item includes grading of all disturbed areas to blend with the surrounding landscape. All <br /> excavated or disturbed areas will be graded so that, when completed, all cut slopes match the <br /> contour of immediately adjacent areas. <br /> All areas disturbed during reclamation work and any other areas specified in these Special <br /> Conditions will be revegetated according to the Revegetation Specifications in the General Bid <br /> Specifications. Seed will be supplied by the OWNER. <br /> Surface scarification must occur where bedrock is not exposed across the 1 acre project <br /> area. Scarification will be accomplished by tracked machine, and will create benches on the <br /> barren slopes that are not solid bedrock. The benches will be a minimum twelve inches (12") <br /> wide, cut perpendicular to the fall of the slope on contour, by approximately six inches (6") deep <br /> (cut into the slope)creating a backwall of six to eight inches (6-8)inches in height. The benches <br /> will be created in an offset pattern from top to bottom of the slope. Shelves will be no further <br /> than two feet(2') apart, from edge to edge perpendicular to the fall of the slope (on contour), and <br /> no further than four feet(4') apart as measured parallel to the fall of the slope. Crews must start <br /> at the top of the slope crest, and work down slope. This bid item will be completed using <br /> primarily tracked equipment. <br /> Commercial fertilizer is required for this project. Triton fertilizer or approved equivalent,will <br /> be provided, delivered, and applied to the site at a rate of 1,000 lbs per acre.
