Contracting Officer, in surfaces to receive fill or in excavated areas or where soil cannot support
load bearing requirements. Scarify the surface to a depth of 150 mm before the fill is started. Plow,
step, bench, or break up sloped surfaces steeper than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal so that the fill
material will bond with the existing material. When subgrades are less than the specified density,
break up the ground surface to a minimum depth of 150 mm, pulverizing, and compacting to the
specified density. When the subgrade is part fill and part excavation or natural ground, scarify the

standard lot for all requirements will be equal to 2000 metric tons.Based on in-place density,
laboratory air voids, grade and smoothness in accordance with the following paragraphs. Grade and
surface smoothness determinations will be made on the lot as a whole. Exceptions or adjustments to
this will be made in situations where the mix within one lot is placed as part of both the
intermediate and surface courses, thus grade and smoothness measurements for the entire lot cannot
be made. In order to evaluate laboratory air voids and in-place (field) density, each lot will be
divided into four equal sublots.
