borrow material until all acceptable excavated materials on the site have been utilized in the work. f.
Place the various types of materials in the areas as designated on the Plans, or as directed by the
Engineer. 2. Ground Surface Preparation, Placement and Compaction: Following the necessary cuts to
grade the site, all of the exposed subgrades shall be proof-rolled and densified until at least 95 percent
of the Modified Maximum Dry Density, ASTM D-1557, is obtained. The proof –rolling and compaction
should be performed using a large vibratory roller with a static weight of at least 10 tons. The proof-
rolling and compaction operations should be performed in the presence of the Engineer. The vibratory
function of the roller should not be used within 20 feet of any existing structure and the roller should be
used in static mode in these areas. Any structural fill placement which is required below the foundation
level shall extend a minimum distance of 10 feet beyond the foundation line and at least one foot above
the footing sub-grade elevation. Above this elevation, the distance of the structural fill placement
beyond the footing line may be reduced accordingly, if required. All loose areas detected during the
densification operation shall be corrected. Correcting shall consist of either (a) excavation of the soft
area in those cases where the materials encountered are unsuitable, or too wet to be compacted; or (b)
if the moisture content is adequate, densifying the exposed materials. After the proofrolling and
densification process is completed, the Geotechnical Engineer's representative will authorize the
placement of fill. Any imported fill required to grade the site shall consist of well-graded granular soils
(sand and gravel) containing less than 15 percent fines (silt and clay). All fills should be placed in layers
ranging from ten to twelve inches in loose thickness and shall be compacted to at least the following
densities, expressed as a percent of the Maximum Modified Density, ASTM D-1557: Below Foundations:
98% Below Slabs: 95% Below Pavements: 90% Backfill of Retaining Walls: 95% Remaining Areas: 90%
The contractor shall provide soil moisture density tests in order to determine the optimum moisture
content required to obtain the above specified densities. Where required, the contractor shall modify
the in-place soil moisture contend so as to ensure that the above specified densities are obtained.
02315-7 3. Moisture control: a. Where subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned
before compaction, uniformly apply water to surface of subgrade, or layer of soil material, to prevent
free water appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction operations. b. Remove and
replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified density. c.
Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction may be stockpiled or
spread and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing, harrowing or pulverizing until moisture content is
reduced to a satisfactory value. 4. Puddling or jetting will only be permitted in landscape areas after
approval by the Engineer. 5. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy, frozen, or
contain frost or ice, or other unsuitable materials. N. Grading: 1. General: Uniformly grade areas as
shown in the proposed site plan, including adjacent transition areas. Smooth finish surface within
specified tolerances, compact with uniform levels or slopes between points where elevations are shown,
or between such points and existing grades. 2. Grading surface of materials under proposed structures,
and all other areas as shown on the plans: Grade smooth and even, free of voids, compacted as
specified, and to required elevation. Provide final grades within a tolerance of 1/2 inch when tested with
a ten foot (10') straight edge. 3. Compaction: After grading, compact subgrade surfaces to the depth and
percentage of maximum density for each area classification. 4. Treatment after grading: a. After grading
is completed and the Engineer has finished his inspection, permit no further excavating, filling or grading
except with the approval of and inspection of the Engineer. 02315-8 b. Use all means necessary to
prevent erosion of freshly graded areas during construction and until such time as permanent drainage
and erosion control measures have been installed. O. Field quality controUlU: 1. Quality control testing:
Allow testing service to inspect and approve fill layers after grading work is completed. The contractor
will supply and pay for the testing service. 2. If in the opinion of Engineer based on testing service
reports, subgrade or fills which have been placed are below specified density, the contractor shall
provide additional compaction and testing as directed by the Engineer, at no expense to the Owner. This
shall include compaction and testing at areas initially tested and at other locations as directed. a.
Perform in-place field density tests in accordance with ASTM D-1556-07 (Sand Cone Method), or ASTM
D-6938-08a (Nuclear Method). b. Footing Subgrade: At footing subgrades, at least one (1) test of each
soil type to verify design bearing capacities. Subsequent verification and approval by the Engineer of
other footing subgrades may be based on a visual comparison of each subgrade with related tested
strata. c. Pavement & Slab Areas: At subgrade and at each compacted fill and backfill layer, at least one
(1) field in-place density test for every 2,000 sq ft (186 sq. m) or less of paved area or slab, but in no case
fewer than three (3) tests. d. Foundation Wall Backfill: In each compacted backfill layer, at least one (1)
field in-place density test for each 100 ft (30 m) or less of wall length, but no fewer than two (2) tests
