Florida Department of General Services to maintain and make available to other political entities
a 'convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who are disqualified from public

entity crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or
Federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with
any public entity in Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with
the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for goods or services to be

every subcontractor by the terms of the Contract Documents.

notify the City in writing of its intention to make claim for extra compensation before work begins on

method acceptable to the City for keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby waives
its request for such extra compensation. The City is not obligated to pay the Contractor if the City is not
notified as described above. The Contractor may refuse to perform additional work requested by the City

validity of the claim.

sectioned and classified by the Engineer. Such excavation will be paid for under the appropriate bid item
in the Bid Proposal.
a. Earth excavation includes the removal and disposal of pavements and other obstructions visible on
the ground surface, underground structures and utilities indicated to be demolished and removed,
material of any classification indicated in data on subsurface conditions, and all other materials
encountered that are not classified as rock excavation or unauthorized excavation.
b. Rock excavation consists of the removal and disposal of materials encountered that cannot be
excavated with a 3/4 cubic yard capacity power shovel without drilling and blasting, or continuous
use of a ripper or other special equipment, except such materials that are classified as earth
excavation. Typical of materials classified as rock are boulders 1/2 cu. yd. or more in volume, solid
rock, rock in ledges, and rock -hard cementitious aggregate deposits.
c. Intermittent drilling that may be performed to increase production and is not necessary to permit
excavation of the material encountered will be classified as earth excavation.
C. Rock shall be removed to the following limits:
00"k 1. Two feet outside of concrete work for which forms are required, except footings. One foot outside the
perimeters of footings.
2. In pipe trenches, a minimum of 44nches below invert elevation of pipe and 2 -feet wider than the inside
02200-2
diameter of pipe, but not less than 3 -foot minimum trench width.
'^ 3. Neat outside dimensions of concrete work where no forms are required.
4. Under slabs on grade, 6 -inches below bottoms of concrete slab.
D. Unauthorized excavation consists of removal of materials beyond indicated elevations without the
specific direction of the Engineer. Replace unauthorized excavation by backfilling and compacting as
specified for authorized excavations of the same classification, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
E. Additional Excavation:
1. When excavation has reached required subgrade elevations, notify the Engineer who will make an
inspection of conditions.
2. If unsuitable materials are encountered at the required subgrade elevations, carry excavations deeper and
replace the excavated material as directed by the Engineer.
3. Removal of unsuitable material and its replacement as directed will be paid for under the appropriate bid
item in the Bid Proposal.
F. Dewatering:
1. Prevent surface water and subsurface or groundwater from flowing into excavations, and flooding the
project site and surrounding area.
2. Do not allow water to accumulate in excavations. Remove water from excavations to prevent softening
of foundation bottoms, undercutting footings, and soil changes detrimental to the stability of subgrades
and foundations. Provide and maintain pumps, well points, sumps, suction and discharge lines, and other
dewatering system components necessary to convey the water away from the site.
'lml� 3. Convey water removed from excavations and rainwater to collecting or run-off areas. Do not use trench
excavations for site utilities as temporary drainage ditches.
4. Contractor shall be required to obtain any demolition permits as may be required due to dewatering
volume requirements set by local and state agencies.
G. Material Storage:
1. Stockpile excavated materials classified as satisfactory soil material where directed, until required for
fill. Place, grade, and shape stockpiles for proper drainage.
2. Dispose of excess unsatisfactory soil material, trash and debris, as specified.
3.3 BACKFILL AND FILL
A. Ground Surface Preparation:
1. Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and deleterious materials from
ground surface prior to placement of fills. Plow, strip, or break-up sloped surfaces steeper than one
vertical to four horizontal so that fill material will bond with existing surface.
2. When the existing ground surface has a density less than that specified under "Compaction" for the
particular area classification, break-up the ground surface, pulverize, moisture -condition to the optimum
moisture content, and compact to the required depth and percentage of maximum density.
B. Placement and Compaction:
1. Place backfill and fill materials in layers not more than 8 -inches in loose depth for material compacted by
/ft� heavy compaction equipment, and not more than 4 -inches loose depth for material compacted by hand -
operated equipment.
02200-3
2. Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide the optimum moisture content of
/1 the soil material. Compact each layer to the required percentage of maximum dry density or relative dry
density for each area classification. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy,
frozen, or contain frost or ice.
a. Backfill excavations as promptly as the work permits, but not until completion of inspection, testing,
approval, and recording location of underground utilities, as required.
3.4 COMPACTION
A. General:
1. Control soil compaction during construction, providing the minimum percentage of density specified for
each area classification.
2. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirement:
a. Lawn Areas: Compact each layer of backfill or fill material at 85% maximum density (optimum
moisture).
b. Walkways: Compact top 6 -inches of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material at 95%
maximum density (optimum moisture).
B. Moisture Control:
1. Where the subgrade or layer of soil materials must be moisture conditioned before compaction,
uniformly apply water to the surface of subgrade, or layer of soil material, to prevent free water
appearing on the surface during or subsequent to compaction operations. Remove and replace, or scarify
and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit compaction to specified density.
2. 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 disking, harrowing or pulverizing, until the moisture content
s..� is reduced to a satisfactory value.
3.5 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. Quality Control Testing During Construction:
1. Testing service must inspect and approve subgrades and fill layers before further construction work is
performed thereon.
2. Secure representative samples of the fill material and determine the Standard Density and required
moisture content to be maintained by the Moisture -Density Relation Test ASTM D-1557.
3. Make in-place soil density tests during compaction operations in accordance with ASTM D-1556.
4. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, based on reports of the testing service and inspection, the subgrade or
fills which have been placed are below the specified density, additional compaction and testing will be
required until satisfactory results are obtained.
a. The results of density tests of soil -in-place will be considered satisfactory if the average of any four
consecutive density tests which may be selected are in each instance equal to or greater than the
specified density, and if not more than one density test out of five has a value more than 2% below
the required density.
3.6 MAINTENANCE
A. Reconditioning Compacted Areas:
1. Where completed compacted areas are disturbed by subsequent construction operations or adverse
weather, scarify the surface, re -shape, and compact to the required density prior to further construction.
3.7 DISPOSAL OF EXCESS AND WASTE MATERIALS
A. Removal from Owner's Property:
,/� 1. Remove waste materials, including excavated material classified as unsatisfactory soil material, trash and
debris, and dispose of it off the Owner's property in a lawful manner.

existing underground structures and conflicts. Care shall be exercised to avoid damage to existing
structures. When obstructions that are not shown on the drawings are encountered during the progress of
work and interfere so that an alteration of the plans is required, the Engineer will alter the drawings or
order a deviation in line and grade or arrange for removal, relocation, or reconstruction of the
obstructions. When crossing existing pipelines or other structure, alignment and grade shall be adjusted
as necessary, with the approval of the Engineer to provide clearance as required by federal, state or local
regulations or as deemed necessary by the Engineer to prevent future damage or contamination of either
structure.
3.2 ALIGNMENT AND GRADE
A. The pipelines shall be laid and maintained to the lines and grades established by the drawings and
specifications, with manholes, service connections, fittings, and appurtenances at the required locations
unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
3.3 TRENCH CONSTRUCTION
A. The trench shall be excavated to the required alignment, depth, and width. Trench preparation shall
proceed in advance of pipe installation for only as far as necessary to allow proper pipe installation. The
width of the trench at the top of the pipe shall be ample to permit the pipe to be laid and joined properly
and allow the backfill to be placed as specified. Trenches shall be of such extra width, when required, to
permit the placement of timber supports, sheeting, bracing and appurtenances.
B. Holes for the bells shall be provided at each joint but shall not be larger than necessary for joint
assembly and assurance that the pipe barrel will lie flat on the trench bottom. Other than noted
previously, the trench bottom shall be true and even in order to provide support for the full length of the
pipe barrel, except that slight depression may be provided to allow withdrawal of pipe slings or other
lifting tackle.
C. When excavation of rock is encountered, all rock shall be removed to provide a clearance of at least 6 -
inches below and on each side of all pipe for pipe sizes 24 -inches or smaller, and 9 -inches for pipe sizes
30 -inches and larger. When excavation is completed, a bed of sand, crushed stone, or earth that is free
from stones, large clods, or frozen earth, shall be placed on the bottom of the trench to the previously
02611-2
mentioned depths, leveled, and tamped. These clearances and bedding procedures shall also be observed
Out% for pieces of concrete or masonry and other debris or subterranean structures, such as masonry walls,
piers, or foundations that may be encountered during excavation. This installation procedure shall be
followed when gravel formation containing loose boulders greater than 8 -inches in diameter are
encountered. In all cases, the specified clearances shall be maintained between the bottom of all pipe
and appurtenances and any part, projection, or point or rock, boulder, or stones of sufficient size and
placement which, in the opinion of the Engineer could cause a fulcrum point.
D. Should the trench pass over a sewer or other previous excavation, the trench bottom shall be sufficiently
compacted to provide support equal to that of the native soil or conform to other regulatory
requirements in a manner that will prevent damage to the existing installation.
E. When the subgrade is found to be unstable or to include ashes, cinders, refuse, organic material, or other
unsuitable material, such material shall be removed, to a minimum of at least 3 -inches, or to the depth
ordered by the Engineer and replaced under the directions of the Engineer with clean, stable backfill
material. The bedding shall be consolidated and leveled in order that the pipe may be installed as
specified.
F. When the bottom of the trench or the subgrade is found to consist of material that is unstable to such a
degree that, in the judgment of the Engineer, it cannot be removed, a foundation for the pipe and/or
appurtenance shall be constructed using piling, timber, concrete, or other materials at the direction of
the Engineer.
G. Pipe cutting for the insertion of fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in neat, workmanlike manner
without creating damage to the pipe or lining.

02720-4
7. Backfill carefully and evenly around manhole sections.
/-1 B. Manhole Pipe Connections.
1. Construct manhole pipe connections, including pipe stubs, as specified above. Close or seal pipe
stubs for future connections with a gasketed watertight plug.
C. Brickwork.
1. Mix mortar only in such quantity as may be required for immediate use. Use mortar before initial set
has taken place. Mortar shall be used within 1-1/2 hours and shall be constantly worked with hoe or
shovel until used. Anti -freeze mixtures shall not be included in the mortar. Install masonry when the

3.2 LEAKAGE TESTS
A. Test each manhole for leakage. ENGINEER shall observe each test. Perform exfiltration test as described
below:
B. Assemble manhole in place; fill and point all lifting holes and exterior joints within 6 -ft of the ground
surface with an approved non -shrinking mortar. Test prior to placing the shelf and invert and before
filling and pointing the horizontal joints below 6 -ft of depth. Lower ground water table below bottom of
the manhole for the duration of the test. Plug all pipes and other openings into the manhole and brace to
prevent blow out.
C. Fill manhole with water to the top of the cone section. If the excavation has not been backfilled and no
water is observed moving down the surface of the manhole, the manhole is satisfactorily water -tight. If
the test, as described above is unsatisfactory as determined by the ENGINEER, or if the manhole
excavation has been backfilled, continue the test. A period of time may be permitted to allow for
absorption. Following this period, refill manhole to the top of the cone, if necessary and allow at least 8
hours to pass. At the end of the test period, refill the manhole to the top of the cone again, measuring the
volume of water added. Extrapolate the refill amount to a 24-hour leakage rate. The leakage for each
manhole shall not exceed one gallon per vertical foot for a 24-hour period. If the manhole fails this
requirement, but the leakage does not exceed three gallons per vertical foot per day, repairs by approved
methods may be made as directed by the ENGINEER. If leakage due to a defective section of joint
exceeds three gallons per vertical foot per day, the manhole shall be rejected. Uncover the rejected
02720-5
/'!
manhole as necessary and to disassemble, reconstruct or replace it as directed by the ENGINEER. Retest
the manhole and, if satisfactory, fill and paint the interior joints.
D. No adjustment in the leakage allowance will be made for unknown causes such as leaking plugs,
absorptions, etc. It will be assumed that all loss of water during the test is a result of leaks through the
joints or through the concrete.
E. An infiltration test may be substituted for an exfiltration test if the ground water table is above the
highest joint in the manhole. If there is no leakage into the manhole as determined by the ENGINEER,
the manhole will be considered water -tight. If the ENGINEER is not satisfied, testing shall be performed
as described hereinbefore.
F. Leakage Tests for Structures
1. The ENGINEER will visually inspect structure(s) for possible leaks before backfilling of structures
is allowed. Seal all joints to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER.
2. The ENGINEER may require an exfiltration test as described for manholes on any structure for
which he/she deems the test appropriate.
3.3 CLEANING
A. Thoroughly clean all new manholes of all silt, debris and foreign matter of any kind, prior to final
inspections.

3.3 CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Curing:
1. Immediately after surface defects have been repaired, apply a spray coat of curing compound to all
exposed surfaces, including slabs, walls, beams and columns in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Protect exposed steel keyways and other embedded items from the curing
compound. Water cure, as specified in paragraph B hereunder, all concrete surfaces that are to be
exposed to wastewater, surfaces that are to coated with a coal tar epoxy system, and concrete floors
requiring a bond for special finishes.
2. Do not apply compound during periods of rainfall. Should the film become damaged from any cause
within the required curing period, immediately repair the damaged portions with additional
compound. Upon removal of forms, immediately coat the newly exposed surfaces to provide a curing
treatment equal to that provided for the surface.
DOWN 3. Curing and Sealing Compound: Use clear compound conforming to Federal Specification
TT -C -800A, 30% solids content minimum, having test data from an independent laboratory
indicating a maximum moisture loss of 0.030 grams per sq. cm. when applied at a coverage rate of
03100-5
300 sq. ft per gallon, and equal to Super Floor Coat or Super Pliocure by The Euclid Chemical
Company or Masterseal 66 by Master Builders. Furnish manufacturer's certification as required.
4. Apply specified clear curing and sealing compound to all horizontal areas so noted on the Drawings
or in the Specifications. Apply immediately after final finishing. Apply this compound to
non-structural construction joints of slabs on grade to act as a bond breaker prior to placement of
adjacent concrete.
B. Water Curing Method: Cure all concrete that is to be water cured by either the wet burlap method, by
continuous fogging or by covering the waterproof sheet.
1. Wet Burlap Method: Cover concrete surface with a double thickness of burlap, cotton mats, or other
approved materials, kept thoroughly saturated with water. Keep the forms wet until removed and
upon removal, start the curing specified herein immediately. Cure the concrete for a period of 7 days
for normal Portland cement or 4 days for high early strength cement. Do not submerge concrete
poured in the dry until it has attained sufficient strength to adequately sustain the stress involved and
do not subject it to flowing water across its surface until it has cured 4 days.
2. Continuous Fogging: Perform continuous fogging by fogging with a nozzle which so atomizes the
flow of water that a mist, and not a spray, is formed. Fog the concrete surface regularly without
allowing any part of the surface to become dry. Take all necessary precautions to prevent erosion of
the concrete surface by water.
3. Covering the Waterproof Sheets: Keep the entire area to be cured continuously wet by fogging, as
specified in the fogging paragraph above, for at least 18 hours and then immediately cover the
waterproof curing sheet conforming to ASTM C171, waterproof paper and polyethylene film, free of
holes or tears. Keep sheet fully fat, without wrinkles or air bubbles, held down tautly at all edges.
Do not use this method on slabs which will be exposed to view.
3.4 PLACING REINFORCEMENT

minimum percentage of indicated design compressive strength or for the period of time specified in the
following table.
Note: Time periods in the table include all days except those in which the temperature falls below 40
degrees F.
3.7 CONCRETE FINISHINGS
A. Repair of Surface Defects:
1. General: Repair surface defects, including tie holes immediately after form removal. Dampen the
area to be patched and an area at least 6 inches wide surrounding it to prevent absorption of water
from the patching mortar. Notify the Engineer prior to commencing operations.
2. Removal of Defective Concrete: Remove all honeycombed and other defective concrete down to
sound concrete. Cut edges perpendicular to the surface or slightly under cut. Sand blast surfaces to
receive repair.
3. Bonding Grout: Thoroughly dampen surfaces to be patched and apply a coat of bonding grout
consisting of one part cement to one part fine sand passing a No. 30 sieve and having the consistency
^ of thick cream.
4. Placing Patching Mortar: After the bonding grout begins to lose its water sheen, apply a premixed
patching mortar, thoroughly consolidating it into place and striking it off so as to leave the patch
slightly higher than the surrounding surface. Leave mortar undisturbed for one hour to permit initial
shrinkage and then finally finish.
/N
5. Tie Holes: After being cleaned and thoroughly dampened, fill the tie holes solid with patching
mortar.
B. Floated Finish: After concrete has been placed, consolidated, struck off and leveled, do not work the
surface further until water sheen has disappeared and the surface has hardened sufficiently to permit
floating. During the first floating, check the planeness of the slab with a 10 foot straightedge applied at
no less than two angles. Cut down all high spots and fill all low spots to produce a surface having the
required tolerance. Then refloat the slab to a uniform sandy texture.
C. Light Broomed Finish: After floating, power trowel slabs to receive a light broomed finish to produce a
smooth surface, relatively free of defects. Before the surface sets, pass a soft broom drag over the
surface to produce a surface uniform in texture and appearance.
D. Troweled Finish: After floating, power trowel slabs to receive a troweled finish to produce a smooth
surface, relatively free of defects. Hand trowel after the surface has hardened sufficiently. When a
ringing sound is produced as the trowel is moved over the surfaces, perform final troweling by hand to
produce a surface which is thoroughly consolidated, free from trowel marks, uniform in texture and
appearance and plane to a tolerance of 1/8 inch of 10 feet as determined by a 10 foot straightedge placed
anywhere on the slab in any direction.
E. Hardener Finish: Where indicated to receive a troweled hardener finish, water cure slabs without
application of curing and sealing agent. When slab is at least 20 days old and thoroughly dry, apply the
03100-8
/ti hardener in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Where dry -shake hardener or slip
resistant finish is required, apply the hardener or slip -resistant product prior to complete curing and
finishing, in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the product manufacturer.
F. Saw Cut Joints: Cut joints that are to be saw cut not sooner than 2 hours after the concrete is poured and
not later than 8 hours after the pour.
3.8 TESTS

Aonr�, PREVENTION, CONTROL, AND ABATEMENT OF EROSION AND WATER POLLUTION
/"N
104-1 DESCRIPTION.
Construct and maintain temporary erosion control features or, where practical, construct and maintain
permanent erosion control features as shown in the plans or as may be directed by the Engineer.
104-2 GENERAL.
Coordinate the installation of temporary erosion control features with the construction of the
permanent erosion control features to the extent necessary to ensure economical, effective, and
continuous control of erosion and water pollution throughout the life of the Contract.
Due to unanticipated conditions, the Engineer may direct the use of control features or methods other
than those included in the original Contract. In such event, the Department will pay for this additional
work as unforeseeable work.
104-3 CONTROL OF CONTRACTOR'S OPERATIONS WHICH MAY RESULT IN WATER POLLUTION
Prevent pollution of streams, canals, lakes, reservoirs, and other water impoundments with fuels, oils,
bitumens, calcium chloride, or other harmful materials. Also, conduct and schedule operations to avoid
or otherwise minimize pollution or siltation of such water impoundments, and to avoid interference
with movement of migratory fish. Do not dump any residue from dust collectors or washers into any
live stream.
Restrict construction operations in rivers, streams, lakes, tidal waters, reservoirs, canals, and other
water impoundments to those areas where it is necessary to perform filling or excavation to
accomplish the work shown in the plans and to those areas which must be entered to construct
temporary or permanent structures. As soon as conditions permit, promptly clear rivers, streams, and
impoundments of all obstructions placed therein or caused by construction operations.
Do not frequently ford live streams with construction equipment. Wherever an appreciable number of
stream crossings are necessary at any one location, use a temporary bridge or other structure.
Except as necessary for construction, do not deposit excavated material in rivers, streams, canals, or
impoundments, or in a position close enough thereto, to be washed away by high water or runoff.
Where pumps are used to remove highly turbid waters from enclosed construction areas such as
cofferdams or forms, treat the water by one or more of the following methods prior to discharge into
State waters: pumping into grassed swales or appropriate vegetated areas or sediment basins, or
confined by an appropriate enclosure such as turbidity barriers when other methods are not considered
appropriate.
Do not disturb lands or waters outside the limits of construction as staked, except as authorized by the
Engineer.
Obtain the Engineer's approval for the location of, and method of operation in, borrow pits, material
pits, and disposal areas furnished for waste material from the project (other than commercially
operated sources) such that erosion during and after completion of the work will not result in
probability of detrimental siltation or water pollution.
104-4 MATERIALS FOR TEMPORARY EROSION CONTROL.
The Engineer will not require testing of materials used in construction of temporary erosion control
features other than as provided for geotextile fabric in 985-3 unless such material is to be incorporated
into the completed project. When no testing is required, the Engineer will base acceptance on visual
inspection.
The Contractor may use new or used materials for the construction of temporary silt fence, staked
D104-1
/'\
turbidity barriers, and floating turbidity barrier not to be incorporated into the completed project,
subject to the approval of the Engineer.
104-5 PRECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE.
Prepare the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and have the NOI on record with FDEP.
The Contractor will be responsible to have the SWPPP on-site at all times and must adhere to the
guidelines to the SWPPP.
The SWPPP will include the erosion control plan and all additional measures that will be employed to
dispose of, control, or prevent the discharge of solid, hazardous, and sanitary wastes to waters of the
U.S. Include procedures to control off-site tracking of soil by vehicles and construction equipment and
a procedure for cleanup and reporting of non -storm water discharges, such as contaminated
groundwater or accidental spills. The Department will review and approve the Contractor's part of the
SWPPP, including required signed certification statements, before soil disturbing activities begin.
Failure to sign any required documents or certification statements will be considered a default of the
Contract. Any earth disturbing activities performed without the required signed documents or
certification statements may be considered a violation of the Clean Water Act by the EPA.
The erosion control plan shall describe, but not be limited to, the following items or activities:
1. For each phase of construction operations or activities, supply the following information:
(A) Locations of all erosion control devices
(B) Types of all erosion control devices
(C) Estimated time erosion control devices will be in operation
(D) Monitoring schedules for maintenance of erosion control devices
(E) Methods of maintaining erosion control devices
(F) Containment or removal methods for pollutants or hazardous wastes
2. The name and telephone number of the person responsible for monitoring and maintaining the
erosion control devices.
3. Submit for approval the erosion control plans meeting paragraphs 3A, 313, or 3C below:
(A) Projects permitted by the St. Johns River Water Management District, require the following:
Submit a copy of the erosion control plan to the Engineer for review and to the
appropriate Water Management District Office for review and approval. Include the
WMD permit number on all submitted data or correspondence.
The Contractor may schedule a meeting with the appropriate WMD Office to discuss his
erosion control plan in detail, to expedite the review and approval process. Advise the
Engineer of the time and place of any meetings scheduled with WMD.

104-6 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS.
104-6.1 Limitation of Exposure of Erodible Earth:
A0%% The Engineer may limit the surface areas of unprotected erodible earth exposed by the construction
operation and may direct the Contractor to provide erosion or pollution control measures to prevent
contamination of any river, stream, lake, tidal waters, reservoir, canal, or other water impoundments or
to prevent detrimental effects on property outside the project right-of-way or damage to the project.
Limit the area in which excavation and filling operations are being performed so that it does not
exceed the capacity to keep the finish grading, grassing, sodding, and other such permanent erosion
control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule.
Do not allow the surface area of erodible earth that clearing and grubbing operations or excavation and
2 z
filling operations expose to exceed 750,000 ft [70,000 m ] without specific prior approval by the Engineer.
This limitation applies separately to clearing and grubbing operations and excavation and filling operations.
The Engineer may increase or decrease the amount of surface area the Contractor may expose at any one
time.
104-6.2 Incorporation of Erosion Control Features:
Incorporate permanent erosion control features into the project at the earliest practical time. Use
approved temporary erosion control features to correct conditions that develop during construction
which were not foreseen at the time of design, to control erosion prior to the time it is practical to
construct permanent control features, or to provide immediate temporary control of erosion that
develops during normal construction operations, which are not associated with permanent erosion
control features on the project.
The Engineer may authorize temporary erosion control features when Topsoil is specified in the
Contract and the limited availability of that material from the grading operations will prevent
scheduled progress of the work or damage the permanent erosion control features.
/"e
/^
104-6.3 Scheduling of Successive Operations:
Schedule operations such that the area of unprotected erodible earth exposed at any one time is not
larger than the minimum area necessary for efficient construction operations, and the duration of
exposure of uncompleted construction to the elements is as short as practicable.
Schedule and perforin clearing and grubbing so that grading operations can follow immediately
thereafter. Schedule and perform grading operations so that permanent erosion control features can
follow immediately thereafter if conditions on the project permit.
104-6.4 Details for Temporary Erosion Control Features:
104-6.4.1 General:
Use temporary erosion and water pollution control features that consist of, but are not limited to,
temporary grassing, temporary sodding, temporary mulching, sandbagging, slope drains, sediment
basins, sediment checks, berms, baled hay or straw, floating turbidity barrier, staked turbidity
barrier and silt fence. For design details for some of these items, refer to the Water Quality Section
of the Design Standards.
104-6.4.2 Temporary Grassing:
The Engineer may designate certain areas of grassing constructed in accordance with Section 570
as temporary erosion control features. The Engineer may direct the Contractor to omit permanent
type grass seed from grassing and the reduce the specified rate of spread for fertilizer used in
conjunction with grassing operations when such work is designated as a temporary erosion control
feature.
D104-3
104-6.4.3 Temporary Sod:
Furnish and place sod in accordance with Section 575 within areas designated by the Engineer to
temporarily control erosion. If the Engineer determines that the sod will be of a temporary nature,
he may not require fertilizer and lime. Keep the sod in a moist condition in order to ensure growth,
The Department will pay for all required watering under Item No. 570-9 [2570-9].
104-6.4.4 Temporary Mulching:
Furnish and apply a 2 to 4 inch [50 to 100 mm] thick blanket of straw or hay mulch to designated
areas; then mix or force the mulch into the top 2 inches [50 mm] of the soil in order to temporarily
control erosion. Use only undecayed straw or hay which can readily be cut into the soil and which
otherwise complies with 981-3. The Contractor may substitute other measures for temporary
erosion control, such as hydromulching, chemical adhesive soil stabilizers, etc., for mulching with
straw or hay, if approved by the Engineer. When beginning permanent grassing operations, plow
under temporary mulch materials in conjunction with preparation of the ground.
104-6.4.5 Sandbagging:
Furnish and place sandbags in configurations to control erosion and siltation.
104-6.4.6 Slope Drains:
Construct slope drains in accordance with the details shown in the plans, the Design Standards, or
as may be approved as suitable to adequately perform the intended function.
104-6.4.7 Sediment Basins:
Construct sediment basins in accordance with the details shown in the plans, the Design Standards,
or as may be approved as suitable to adequately perform the intended function. Clean out sediment
basins as necessary in accordance with the plans or as directed.
104-6.4.8 Berns:
Construct temporary earth berms to divert the flow of water from an erodible surface.
104-6.4.9 Baled Hay or Straw:
Provide bales having minimum dimensions of 14 by 18 by 36 inches [350 by 450 by 900 mm], at
the time of placement. Construct baled hay or straw dams to protect against downstream
accumulations of silt. Construct the baled hay or straw dams in accordance with the details shown
in the plans or the Design Standards. Meet the provisions of 981-3.1 for all baled hay or straw.
Place the dam to effectively control silt dispersion under conditions present on this project. The
Contractor may use alternate solutions and usage of materials if approved.
104-6.4.10 Temporary Silt Fences:
104-6.4.10.1 General:
Furnish, install, maintain, and remove temporary silt fences, in accordance with the
manufacturer's directions, these Specifications, the details as shown on the plans, and the
Design Standards.
104-6.4.10.2 Materials and Installation:
Use a geotextile fabric made from woven or nonwoven fabric, meeting the physical
requirements of Section 985 according to those applications for erosion control.
Choose the type and size of posts, wire mesh reinforcement (if required), and method of
installation. Do not use products which have a separate layer of plastic mesh or netting.
/1 Provide a durable and effective temporary silt fence that controls sediment comparable to
the Design Standards, Index No. 102.
D 104-4
Install all sediment control devices in a timely manner to ensure the control of sediment and
the protection of lakes, streams, gulf or ocean waters, or any wetlands associated therewith
and to any adjacent property outside the right-of-way as required.
At sites where exposure to such sensitive areas is prevalent, complete the installation of any
sediment control device prior to the commencement of any earthwork.
After installation of sediment control devices, repair portions of any devices damaged at no
expense to the Department.
Erect temporary silt fence at upland locations across ditchlines and at temporary locations
shown on the plans or approved by the Engineer where continuous construction activities
change the natural contour and drainage runoff. Do not attach temporary silt fence to
existing trees unless approved by the Engineer.
104-6.4.10.3 Inspection and Maintenance:
Inspect all temporary silt fences immediately after each rainfall and at least daily during
prolonged rainfall. Immediately correct any deficiencies. In addition, make a daily review
of the location of silt fences in areas where construction activities have changed the natural
contour and drainage runoff to ensure that the silt fences are properly located for
effectiveness. Where deficiencies exist, install additional silt fences as directed by the
Engineer.
Remove sediment deposits when the deposit reaches approximately 1/2 of the volume
capacity of the temporary silt fence or as directed by the Engineer. Dress any sediment
deposits remaining in place after the temporary silt fence is no longer required to conform
with the finished grade, and prepare and seed them in accordance with Section 570.
/%� 104-6.4.11 Floating Turbidity Barriers and Staked Turbidity Barriers:
Install, maintain, and remove turbidity barriers to contain turbidity that may occur as the result of
dredging, filling, or other construction activities which may cause turbidity to occur in the waters of
the State. The Contractor may need to deploy turbidity barriers around isolated areas of concern
such as seagrass beds, coral communities, etc. both within as well as outside the right-of-way limits.
The Engineer will identify such areas. Place the barriers prior to the commencement of any work
that could impact the area of concern. Install the barriers in accordance with the details shown in
the plans or as approved by the Engineer. Ensure that the type barrier used and the deployment and
maintenance of the barrier will minimize dispersion of turbid waters from the construction site. The
Engineer may approve alternate methods or materials.
Operate turbidity barriers in such a manner to avoid or minimize the degradation of the water
quality of the surrounding waters.
104-6.4.12 Rock Bags:
Furnish and place rock bags to control erosion and siltation. Place the bags as shown in the plans,
the Design Standards or as directed by the Engineer. Use a fabric material with openings that are
clearly visible to minimize clogging yet small enough to prevent rock loss. Use material of
sufficient strength to allow removing and relocating bags without breakage. The bag size when
filled with rocks shall be approximately 12 by 12 by 4 inch [ 300 by 300 by 100 mm]. Use No. 4 or
No. 5 coarse aggregate rock.
104-6.5 Removal of Temporary Erosion Control Features:
In general, remove or incorporate into the soil any temporary erosion control features existing at the
time of construction of the permanent erosion control features in an area of the project in such a
/^ manner that no detrimental effect will result. The Engineer may direct that temporary features be left
in place.
D104-5
104-7 MAINTENANCE OF EROSION CONTROL FEATURES.
104-7.1 General:
Provide routine maintenance of permanent and temporary erosion control features, at no expense to the
Department, until the project is complete and accepted. If reconstruction of such erosion control
features is necessary due to the Contractor's negligence or carelessness or, in the case of temporary
erosion control features, failure by the Contractor to install permanent erosion control features as
scheduled, the Contractor shall replace such erosion control features at no expense to the Department.
If reconstruction of permanent or temporary erosion control features is necessary due to factors beyond
the control of the Contractor, the Department will pay for replacement under the appropriate Contract
pay item or items.
Inspect all erosion control features at least once every seven calendar days and within 24 hours of the
end of a storm of 0.25 inches [6 mm] or greater. Maintain all erosion control features as required in the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and as specified in State and/or Federal environmental
regulatory permits. Use the inspection form provided by the Engineer to report all inspection findings
and to document all corrective actions taken as a result of the inspection. Sign each inspection report
and submit it weekly to the Engineer.
104-8 PROTECTION DURING SUSPENSION OF CONTRACT TIME.
If it is necessary to suspend the construction operations for any appreciable length of time, shape the
top of the earthwork in such a manner to permit runoff of rainwater, and construct earth berms along
the top edges of embankments to intercept runoff water. Provide temporary slope drains to cant' runoff
from cuts and embankments that are in the vicinity of rivers, streams, canals, lakes, and
impoundments. Locate slope drains at intervals of approximately 500 feet [150 m], and stabilize them
by paving or by covering with waterproof materials. Should such preventive measures fail,
immediately take such other action as necessary to effectively prevent erosion and siltation. The
Engineer may direct the Contractor to perform, during such suspensions of operations, any other
^, erosion control work deemed necessary.
104-9 BASIS OF PAYMENT.
Prices and payments for prevention control, abatement of erosion and water pollution shall be included
in the various items of work. Any additional costs resulting from compliance with the requirements
of this Section, other than construction, routine maintenance, and removal of temporary erosion
control features and mowing, will be included in the various items of work.
Separate payment will not be made for the cost of constructing temporary earth berms along the edges
of the roadways to prevent erosion during grading and subsequent operations. The Contractor shall
include these costs in the Contract prices for grading items.
In case of repeated failure on the part of the Contractor to control erosion, pollution, or siltation, the
Engineer reserves the right to employ outside assistance. Any such costs incurred, including
engineering costs, will be charged to the Contractor and appropriate deductions made from the
monthly progress estimate.
