(as provided in 120-6.2.2), compact the top 6 inches (compacted thickness) of such layer to the density as specified in 120-9.5. 120-7.2.4 Compaction Where Plastic Material Has Been Removed: Where ' unsuitable material is removed and the remaining surface is of the A-4, A-5, A-6, or A-7 Soil I Groups, as determined by the Engineer, compact the surface of the excavated area by rolling with a sheepsfoot roller exerting a compression of at least 250 psi on the tamper feet, for the full width of the roadbed (subgrade and shoulders). Perform rolling before beginning any backfill, and continue until the roller feet do not penetrate the surface more than 1 inch. Do not perform such rolling where the remaining surface is below the normal water table and I covered with water. Vary the procedure and equipment required for this operation at the discretion of the Engineer. 120-7.2.5 Compaction of Material To Be Used In Base, Pavement, or Stabilized Areas: Do not compact embankment material which will be incorporated into a pavement, base course, or stabilized subgrade, to be constructed as a part of the same Contract. 120-7.2.6 Compaction ofGrassed ShoulderAreas: Forthe upper6 inch layer j of all shoulders which are to be grassed, since no specific density is required, compact onlyto the extent directed. 120-7.2.7 Compaction of Grassed Embankment Areas: For the outer layer of all embankments where plant growth will be established,do not compact. Leave this layer in a loose condition to a minimum depth of 6 inches for the subsequent seeding or planting operations. 120-7.3 Compaction of Subgrade: If the plans do not provide for stabilizing, compact the subgrade in both cuts and fills to the density specified in 120-9.5. For undisturbed soils,do not apply density requirements where constructing narrowwidening strips or paved shoulders 5 feet or less in width. Where trenches for widening-strips are not of sufficient width to permit he use of standard andara compaction equipment, perform compaction using vibratory ropers,trench I rollers, or other type compaction equipment approved by the Engineer. Maintain the required density until the base or pavement is placed on the subgrade. 120-8 Backfilling Around Structures and Pipe. 120-8.1 Requirements for all Structures: 120-8-1.1 General: Backfill around structures and pipe in the dry whenever normal dewatering equipment and methods can accomplish the needed dewatering. 129-8.1.2 Equipment and Methods: Provide normal dewatering equipment including, but not limited to, surface pumps, sump pumps, wellpoints and header pipe and trenching/digging machinery. Provide normal dewatering methods including, but not limited to, constructing shallow surface drainage trenches/ditches,-using sand blankets,perforated pipe- __ drains, sumps and siphons. 120-8.1.3 Backfill Materials: Backfill to the original ground surface or subgrade surface of openings made for structures, with a sufficient allowance for settlement. The Engineer may require that the material used for this backfill be obtained from a source entirely apart from the structure. Do not allow heavy construction equipment to crossover culvert or storm sewer pipes until placing and compacting backfill material to the finished earthwork grade or to an elevation at least 4 feet above the crown of the pipe. i, I 01025-29 Technical Specifications FAPublic Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTS\1123 43rd Ave Sidewalk improvements 26th St.to Airport Dr WestWdmim\bid documents\Master Contract Documents\Technical Specirications.doc �'
