The amount of completed and accepted work, measured as provided for above will be paid
for at the unit rate per cubic meter for Structural Excavation in Soils and Structural
Excavation in Rock in the BOQ which rate will be full compensation for execution, clearing,
compaction of bottom of trench, side support, removal of any portion of existing structures
below ground necessitated by construction of the new structure, trimming, cleaning,
backfilling, compaction, disposal of surplus materials and supplying equipment, tools, labor,
and other items necessary for proper completion of the works.
The unit rate per cubic meter in the BOQ for ‘Extra Over for Structural Excavation Under
Water’ will be full compensation for sheet piling, pumping, dewatering, materials, equipment,
labor and other items necessary for the proper execution of the works related only to the
presence of water in the excavation.
In a mixed soil and rock strata excavation, when the soil layers are less than 50% of the
total excavated thickness, the entire volume excavated will be paid for as ‘Structural
Excavation in Rock’. Where the percentage of the strata classified as ‘Structural Excavation
in Soil’ is greater than 50 % of the total thickness below the stripped overburden, the soil
and rock layers will be measured separately. Overburden will be paid for as ‘Structural
Excavation in Soil.’
