Item 3 - Revegetation <br />This item includes the revegetation of all areas disturbed and/or compacted during site work. All <br />areas will be revegetated according to the Revegetation Specifications (20.0) in the General Bid <br />Specifications. Commercial fertilizer OR manure may be used for this project. Seed will be <br />supplied by the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR will supply the fertilizer, fertilizer application, seed <br />application, certified noxious weed free mulch, mulching, and mulch crimping. Revegetation work <br />will be initiated immediately upon completion of all excavation and backfilling work. Excavation and <br />other site work are estimated to disturb approximately 1 acre which will require revegetation. <br />Measurement and Payment <br />Payment for this item will be reflected in a lump sum bid under Item 3. This lump sum bid will cover <br />payment of all costs for fertilizing (including supplying fertilizerj, seeding, mulching (including <br />supplying mulch), and mulch crimping. These revegetation procedures will be performed on all <br />regraded, backfilled and other areas requiring revegetation. There will be no measurement for <br />payment. Payment shall be as this item is completed and approved by the PROJECT MANAGER. <br />Payment for this item will be made only for that amount shown under Item 3 of the Bid Schedule. <br />Any or all incidental costs incurred by the CONTRACTOR shall be reflected in each Bid Item or shall <br />be paid at the Contractor's expense. <br />Item 4 - Adit backfill <br />Opening ID <br />Type of Feature <br />Present Dimension <br />Construction Dimension <br />Depth <br />Shape of Opening <br />Surficial Material <br />Depth to Bedrock <br />RECLAMATION <br />2 <br />Adit <br />6'h x 8'w <br />8'h x 12'w <br />unknown <br />Square <br />Concrete, cinder block lining <br />unknown <br />The above feature will be backfilled according to the Backfilling Closure Specifications (2.0) in the <br />General Bid Specifications, 1996. Access improvements for an approximate 200-foot horizontal and <br />80 foot vertical distance will be made from the edge of the field above the feature. The concrete <br />housing structure and existing cinder block bulkhead will be demolished with the concrete debris <br />placed into the mine workings. Once the structure and cinder block seal have been removed and <br />placed into the mine workings, the feature will be recontoured to blend in with the adjacent slope. <br />Initial access improvements and any area to be impacted for borrowing fill will first have the surface <br />vegetation removed plus the top 24 inch of soils removed and stockpiled in a manner which can be <br />retrieved and replaced in sequence upon completion of slope recontouring. This may require the <br />cutting of shrubs or woody material prior to removal. After slope recontouring, stockpiled top soils <br />will be placed over the worked areas. Finally, stockpiled vegetation previously removed will be <br />redistributed over the recontoured backfill and access areas to act as mulch to prevent erosion. A <br />methanometer will be available for methane detection prior to initiating any site work. In the event <br />that methane levels are elevated, then precautionary measures will include either the venting of the <br />gases behind the bulkhead seal or systematic bulkhead seal removal to provide ventilation prior to <br />any demolition work which would produce sparks and or flames. If methane levels are elevated, <br />
