the top layer can be compacted as required. The recompacted surface shall then be scarified, as
needed, to provide a good bond between the foundation and fill materials.
3.06 FILL PLACEMENT:
A. The following general guidelines shall be followed except as noted elsewhere in this Section.
Section 02200
Earthworks
1. No fill materials shall be placed until the foundation and subgrade preparations have been
completed as specified herein, in Article 3.05 of this Section. The procedures for fill
placement shall be approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER prior to
start of fill placement.
2. No brush, roots, sod, frozen material, or other deleterious or unsuitable materials shall be
incorporated in the fills. The suitability of all materials intended for use in the fill shall be
subject to approval by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER. Fill placement
shall be temporarily stopped by CONTRACTOR due to weather conditions, if materials
and installation do not meet the SPECIFICATIONS, at no cost to CC &V. Fill shall not be
placed upon frozen material, such as snow or ice.
3. If the surface of the prepared foundation or the surface of any layer of the fill is too dry or
too smooth to bond properly with the layer of material to be placed thereon, it shall be
moisture- conditioned and/or worked with harrow, scarifier, disc, or other suitable
equipment to provide a satisfactory bonding surface before fill material is placed thereon. If
the surface of the prepared foundation or the rolled surface of any layer is excessively wet
for fill materials to be placed thereon, it shall be removed and allowed to dry or worked
with a harrow, scarifier, disc, or other suitable equipment to reduce the moisture content to
an acceptable level or meet project specifications as determined by MANAGER and
CERTIFYING ENGINEER. It shall then be compacted before the next layer of fill
material is placed. Determination of such dry or wet conditions shall be made by
CERTIFYING ENGINEER.
4. The distribution of materials shall be such that the fill is free from voids, lenses, pockets,
streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or gradation from the
surrounding material. The material of a fill shall be as described in Article 2.01 of this
Section.
5. Unless otherwise approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER, the entire
fill surface shall be at or near the same elevation at all times during construction. At all
times during construction, the surface of the fill shall be graded and maintained by the
CONTRACTOR to prevent ponding of water and to allow for storm water drainage.
6. Except as otherwise specified or approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING
ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall dump and spread fill in such a manner so that no
excessive gaps are left between successively dumped loads of materials. The fill shall be
leveled prior to compaction by means of a dozer or grader, or other suitable approved
equipment, to obtain a surface free from depressions.
7. Except in areas approved by MANAGER and CERTIFYING ENGINEER where space
is limited or otherwise specified, CONTRACTOR shall place fill by routing the hauling
and spreading units approximately parallel to the axis of the fill. As far as practical, hauling
units shall be so routed that they do not follow in the same paths, but split their tracks
evenly across the surface of the fill to enhance compaction.
