ITEM 200 AGGREGATE SUBBASE COURSE

This item shall consist of
furnishing, placing and
compacting an aggregate subbase
course on a prepared subgrade in
accordance with this Specification
and the lines, grades and cross-
sections shown on the Plans, or as
directed by the Engineer.
200.1
Description
201.2 Material Requirements
Aggregate for subbase shall consist of
hard, durable particles or fragments of
crushed stone, crushed slag, or crushed or
natural gravel and filler of natural or
crushed sand or other finely divided
mineral matter. The composite material
shall be free from vegetable matter and
lumps or balls of clay, and shall be of such
nature that it can be compacted readily to
form a firm, stable subbase.

The subbase material shall conform to Table 200.1,
Grading Requirements






ITEM 203 LIME STABILIZED
ROAD MIX BASE COURSE
203.1 Description
This Item shall consist of a foundation for
surface course composed of soil aggregate,
lime and water in proper proportions, road-
mixed and constructed on a prepared
subgrade/subbase in accordance with this
Specification and the lines, grades and typical
cross-sections shown on the Plans or
established by the Engineer.
203.2 Material Requirements
It shall consist of any combination of
gravel, sand, silt and clay or other
approved combination of materials free
from vegetable or other objectionable
matter. The crushed or uncrushed
granular material shall consist of hard,
durable stones and rocks, of accepted
quality, free from an excess of flat,
elongated, soft or disintegrated pieces or
other objectionable matter.

The soil-aggregate shall conform to the grading
requirements of Table 203. 1.


ITEM 204 PORTLAND CEMENT
STABILIZED ROAD MIX BASE COURSE
This Item shall consist of a foundation
for surface source composed of soil
aggregate, Portland Cement and
water in proper proportions, road-
mixed and constructed on a prepared
subgrade/subbase.
204.1
Description
ITEM 100 CLEARING AND GRUBBING
100.1
Description
This item shall consist of clearing,
grubbing, removing and disposing all
vegetation and debris as designated
in the Contract, except those objects
that are designated to remain in
place or are to be removed in
consonance with other provisions of
this Specification. The work shall also
include the preservation from injury
or defacement of all objects
designated to remain.
100.2 Construction Requirements
All surface objects and all trees, stumps, roots and other protruding obstructions, not designated to
remain, shall be cleared and/or grubbed, including mowing as required, except as provided below:
(1) Removal of undisturbed stumps and roots and nonperishable solid objects with a minimum depth of
one (1) meter below subgrade or slope of embankment will not be required.
(2) In areas outside of the grading limits of cut and embankment areas, stumps and nonperishable solid
objects shall be cut off not more than 150 mm (6 inches) above the ground line or low water level.
(3) In areas to be rounded at the top of cut slopes, stumps shall be cut off flush with or below the
surface of the final slope line.
(4) Grubbing of pits, channel changes and ditches will be required only to the depth necessitated by the
proposed excavation within such areas.
100.3 Method of Measurement
Measurement will be by one or more of the following alternate methods:
1. Area Basis. The work to be paid for shall be the number of hectares and fractions thereof
acceptably cleared and grubbed within the limits indicated on the Plans or as may be adjusted
in field staking by the Engineer. Areas not within the clearing and grubbing limits shown on the
Plans or not staked for clearing and grubbing will not be measured for payment.
2. Lump-Sum Basis. When the Bill of Quantities contains a Clearing and Grubbing lump-sum
item, no measurement of area will be made for such item.
3. Individual Unit Basis (Selective Clearing). The diameter of trees will be measured at a height
of 1.4 m (54 inches) above the ground. Trees less than 150 mm (6 inches) in diameter will not
be measured for payment.

100.4 Basis of Payment


Item 205 ASPHALT STABILIZED ROAD
MIX BASE COURSE
This Item shall consist of a foundation for
surface course, composed of soil-
aggregate and asphaltic material in
proper proportions, road mixed and
constructed on a prepared
subgrade/subbase in accordance with
this Specification and the lines, grades
and typical cross-sections shown on the
Plans or established by the Engineer.
205.1
Description
ITEM 107 OVERHAUL
Overhaul shall consist of
authorized hauling in excess of the
free-haul distance. Freehaul
distance is the specified distance
that excavated material shall be
hauled without additional
compensation. Unless otherwise
provided in the Contract, the free-
haul distance shall be 600 meters.
107.1
Description
In determining what constitutes authorized overhaul, it
will be assumed that material taken from excavation will
be deposited in embankment after having been hauled
the shortest distance. The overhaul distance for material
obtained and placed within the roadway limits will be
measured along the centerline of the roadway. No
allowance will be made for transverse or lateral
movement to or from the centerline except materials
moved to or from designated areas outside the roadway
limits; such as Case 1, Borrow Pits, disposal areas, etc. In
such case, measurement shall be along the shortest
route determined by the Engineer to be feasible and
satisfactory unless otherwise provided. If the Contractor
chooses to haul material over some other route, and
such other route is longer, the computation for payment
shall be based on the overhaul distance measured along
the route designated by the Engineer.
107.2 Method
of
Measurement
The accepted quantities, measured as prescribed
in Section 107.2, shall be paid for the contract unit
price for Overhaul, for the particular Pay Item
listed below that is shown on the Bill of Quantities,
which price and payment shall be full
compensation for overhaul, including all labor,
equipment, tools and incidentals necessary to
complete the work prescribed in this Item.
Payment will not be made for overhaul of Borrow,
Case 2, Foundation Fill, bedding materials and
material removed in the rounding of cut slopes
when rounding is a separate pay item. When the
Bill of Quantities does not show estimated
quantities for Overhaul from the Pay Item listed
below, overhaul will not be directly paid for, but
will be considered as a subsidiary obligation of the
Contractor under other contract items.
107.3
Basis of
Payment
Item 105 SUBGRADE
PREPARATION
105.1 Description
This Item shall consist of the
preparation of the subgrade for the
support of overlying structural layers.
It shall extend to full width of the
roadway. Unless authorized by the
Engineer, subgrade preparation shall
not be done unless the Contractor is
able to start immediately the
construction of the pavement
structure.
105.2
Material
Requirements
When the subgrade is in
rock cut, all materials
below subgrade level to
a depth of 150 mm. Any
work on the preparation
of the subgrade shall not
be started unless
approved by the
supervising engineer.
