and no less than six inches (6") in length(front to back), with a back slope angle which does not exceed forty degrees (40°) as measured parallel with the outslope gradient. The depressions or benches must be offset so that when constructed, no two parallel depressions or benches are closer together than the width of any one individual bench or depression. When constructed on the steep slopes, parallel depressions or benches must not be separated by more than eighteen inches (18"). The imprinter or similar machinle proposed to be utilized by CONTRA CTOR will be inspected by PROJECT MANAGER or other designated representad ve of the OWNER prior to the machine being accopted for use at the project.

OWNER reserves the right to inspect the imprinter or similar machine of the apparent low bidder prior to awarding the bid. If the imprinter or similar machine of the apparent low bidder does not appear to be capable of accomplishing the job specifications, the bid may be rejected by the OWNER. In order to avoid rejection after opening of the bid, BIDDERS are encouraged to bring their machine to the pre- bid meeting for approval. Prior to initiating work with the imprinter, fertilization of the outslopes will be accomplished. Commercial fertilizer is required for this project. Fertilizer shall be provided by CONTRACTOR, and shall conform to Section 20.2 (commercial fertilizer) of the Revegetation Specifications, attached. Fertilizer shall be applied as per the attached specifications. Each mine bench or road outslope designated for treatment by the imprinter or similar machine will be completely treated by such machine. Each slope shall be treated from top to bottom and side to side. Note that many of the slopes are irregular in shape, which will require careful maneuvering of the equipment to ensure complete coverage of the designated sloes. PROJECT MANAGER will mark the perimeter of the outslopes to be treated prior to CONTRACTOR beginning operations. CONTRACTOR is responsible for repairing any damage which may be inflicted to the reclaimed lands immediately above the outslopes to be revegetated. Repair may include, but may not be limited to, grading, ripping and revegetation. Any revegetation which is required to be accomplished shall be done according to the requirements of section 20.0 of i the General Specifications, 1996, wh ch is attached.
