Dear client:
I have compiled the accompanying balance sheet of EAGLE UTILITY
CONTRACTING, INC. as of June 30, 2009, and the related statement
of income for the six months then ended, in accordance with
statements on standards for accounting and review services
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial
statements information that is the representation of management.
I have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial
statements and, accordingly, do not express an opinion or any
other form of assurance on them.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the
disclosures and the cash flow statement required by generally
accepted accounting principles. If the omitted disclosures were
included in the financial statements, they might influence the
user's conclusions about the company's financial position,
results of operations, and cash flow. Accordingly, these
financial statements are not designed for those who are not
informed about such matters.

PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL

shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not
consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the
reasons therefore. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare
and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial
Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected
before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to
make written objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after
considering such objections. PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete,
PROFESSIONAL will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify
CONTRACTOR in writing. stating the reasons therefore. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections,
PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will wittJin said fourteen days
execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a
revised tentative list of items to be completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative
certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the
time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER

Waiver of Claims:

elsewhere, and finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case CONTRACTOR shall not be
entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price
exceeds the direct, indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees
and charges of PROFESSIONAls, architects, attorneys and other PROFESSIONALs and court and arbitration
costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR
shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by
PROFESSIONAL and incorporated in a Change Order, but when exercising any rights or remedies under this
paragraph OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
15.3. In the event OWNER terminates the contract for cause and it is subsequently judicially
determined that there was no cause for termination, the termination for convenience provision will be the
means for disposition of the balance of the contract obligations.
Termination for Convenience
15.4. Upon seven working days' written notice to CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL, OWNER may,
without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the Contract.
In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without duplication of any items):
15.4.1. For completed and acceptable Work executed in accordance with the Contract Documents
prior to the effective date of termination, including fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
Work;
15.4.2. For expenses sustained prior to the effective date of termination in performing services and
furnishing labor, materials or equipment as required by the Contract Documents in connection with
uncompleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such expenses;
15.4.3. For all claims, costs, losses and damages incurred in settlement of terminated contracts with
Subcontractors, suppliers and others; and
15.4.4. For reasonable expenses directly attributable to termination.
CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.5. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination will not
affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue.
Any retention or payment of moneys due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from
liability.
CONTRACTOR May stop Work or Terminate:
15.6. If through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the Work is suspended for a period of more than
ninety calendar days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or PROFESSIONAL fails
to act on any Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted or OWNER fails for thirty-one
days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may upon seven
working days' written notice to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL and provided OWNER or PROFESSIONAL did not
remedy such suspension or failure within that time, terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER
payment on the same terms as provided in 15.2. In lieu of terminating the Agreement and without prejudice
to any other right or remedy, if PROFESSIONAL has failed to act on an Application for Payment within thirty
days after it is submitted, or OWNER has failed for thirty-one days after it is submitted, or OWNER has failed
for thirty-one calendar days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined to be due, CONTRACTOR may

APPLICATION FOR PAYMENT

INSTRUCTIONS
I
I
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
I
I
The sample form of Schedule of Values is intended as a guide only. Many projects require a more
extensive form with space for numerous items, descriptions of Change Orders, identification of variable
quantity adjustments, summary of materfals and equipment stored at the site and other information. It is
expected that a separate form will be developed by Engineer and Contractor at the time Contractor's
Schedule of Values is finalized. Note also that the format for retainage must be changed if the Contract
permits (or the law provides), and Contractor elects to deposit securities in lieu of retainage. Refer to
Article 14 of the General Conditions for provisions concerning payments to Contractor.
B. COMPLETING THE FORM
I
I
The Schedule of Values, submitted and approved as provided in paragraphs 2.05.B.3 and 2.07 of the
General Conditions, should be reproduced as appropriate in the space indicated on the Application for
Payment form. Note that the cost of materials and equipment is often listed separately from the cost of
installation. Also, note that each Unit Price is deemed to include Contractor's overhead and profit.
All Change Orders affecting the Contract Price should be identified and included in the Schedule of
Values as required for progress payments.
I
The form is suitable for use in the Final Application for Payment as well as for Progress Payments;
however, the required accompanying documentation is usually more extensive for final payment. All
accompanying documentation should be identified in the space provided on the form.
I
C. LEGAL REVIEW
I
All accompanying documentation of a legal nature, such as Lien waivers, should be reviewed by an
attorney, and Engineer should so advise Owner.

CHANGE ORDER
INSTRUCTIONS
A. GENERALINFO~TION
This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract
Price or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into
a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times.
Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The
practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes.
If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed.
For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times,
a Field Order should be used.
B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM
Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon
documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both.
Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval,
depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated
agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent
to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both
parties.
If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply.

Job No. U1478, Report No. 27578
QORE, Inc. has completed soil test borings for the referenced project in accordance with our
proposal number 02220 dated September 12,2003. Test boring records are attached.
Project Information. The project consists of the addition to several new sanitary sewer lines in
Richmond County, Georgia, just east of Fort Gordon. The new lines will be in the upper region
of a sub-drainage basin which is downstream and east of Jamestown subdivision. The borings
were authorized by your firm to determine rock and groundwater levels at the requested boring
locations and to provide an indication of the nature of the excavated materials.
Field Exploration Methods. A total of 18 soil test borings were performed at the requested
locations throughout the area where the proposed sewer lines will be installed. The borings were
performed on Crest Rd. (81 and 82), Pepperdine Rd. (83), Whittier PI. (84), Harwood Dr. (85),
Arrowood Circle (88 and 89), Yellowood Ct. (810), the north side of Tobacco Rd. (811), New
Karlene Rd. (812, 813, and 814), Nance 8lvd. (815), 8arker Rd. (816), and 81ackmon Ct. (817).
80rings 86, 87, and 818 were performed off of the road. 80ring 86 was performed off of
Harwood Dr., 80ring 87 was performed off of Arrowood Circle, and boring 818 was performed off
of Crest Rd. All borings were completed to their planned termination depths of 10 or 15 feet
below grade, except for boring 86 which caved in at a depth of five feet. The test boring locations,
identified by Profile sheet and station or manhole number, are indicated on each Test 80ring
Record.

The subsurface exploration began with a visual site reconnaissance performed by a member of
our professional staff. Our personnel located the soil test borings by estimating right angles and
measuring distances from existing features based on the drawings provided. Soil test borings B 1
through B5 and B7 through B17 were performed utilizing a truck mounted CME 55 drill rig. The
soil test borings were drilled by mechanically advancing hollow stem augers into the ground.
Standard penetration tests (SPT) were performed with a rope and cathead at regular intervals in
the borings to estimate soil consistency and to obtain soil samples. Portions of each sample were
transported to our laboratory for testing, engineering review, and visual classification. Borings
B6 and B18 were performed with a hand auger and logged in the field our geotechnical engineer.
The depth to groundwater was measured in the borings before backfilling the boreholes, with
auger cuttings. Borings in paved areas were repaired with a commercially available cold patch
material. Soil descriptions, standard penetration test results, and other subsurface data are
presented in the Test Boring Records.
The procedures used by QORE for field sampling and testing were performed in general
accordance with ASTM procedures and established practice. More detailed descriptions of our
drilling procedures are attached.
Geology. The site is located in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province of Georgia. The
Coastal Plain is a wedge-shaped deposit of Cretaceous and younger sediments that range in
thickness from near zero at the contact with the Piedmont Physiographic Province (the Fall
Line) along its northwest edge, to thousands of feet at the coast. Coastal Plain soils are marine
deposits laid down in the geologic past when ocean levels were higher and can contain various
materials including interbedded soft and hard limestones, gravel, sands, silts, and clays, as well
as organics.
Subsurface Conditions. Soils encountered were typical Coastal Plain soils and refusal was not
encountered in any of the borings. Shallow subsurface materials encountered in the borings
consisted of a combination of asphalt, topsoil, silty sands and clayey sands. Below the shallow
subsurface materials, borings B5, B13, B14, B15, and B16 encountered materials determined
to be fill. The fill consisted of a combination of very loose to very firm silty sands and plastic
clays and ranged in depth from three to 13 feet below grade. Beneath the shallow subsurface
materials in the remaining borings and the fill in the affected borings, a combination of very
loose to very dense silty sands and silty clayey sands were encountered to boring termination,
except for borings B6 and B 15 which encountered materials determined to be soft to very stiff
clays.

The above information and our Test Boring Records do not reflect variations in the subsurface
conditions, which are likely to exist intermediate of our borings, and in unexplored areas of the
site. These variations are due to the inherent variability of the subsurface conditions in this
geologic region as well as past land uses: The indicated boundaries between soil strata are
approximate and the transitions between strata are generally gradual.
Excavation. While none of the borings encountered "refusal", very high consistency soils
(standard penetration values of more than 50 blows per foot) were in encountered in borings B2,
B4, and B8. We anticipate that these materials can be excavated using a large crawler mounted
backhoe. We recommend that the project specifications require that a backhoe comparable to a
Caterpillar 235 be used for trench excavation.
Groundwater. Groundwater was encountered in borings B5, B6, and B16 at approximate depths
of 11, 4.5, and 10.5 feet below the ground surface, respectively. Boring B 18 did not encounter
any groundwater at the time of this exploration, but it is in an area that receives surface sheet
flow runoff from a large surrounding area. Depending on seasonal rainfall, future groundwater
levels may be encountered at depths different from those identified in our borings. It is likely
that permanent groundwater at this site will be encountered during construction. Because of
the length of the project and variation of subsurface conditions, different types of dewatering
systems will be required.
In areas where the subsurface materials have a relatively low permeability (stiff to hard clayey
soils) drainage trenches and/or pumping from shallow sumps may be suitable for temporary
dewatering of the excavation. In areas where silty sands (SM) or clayey sands (SC) are present
below the groundwater level, the water level should be lowered and maintained at least 3 feet
below the proposed bearing level to permit excavation and construction without disturbing the
foundation soils.
In areas where broken line streams or significant surface drainage flow is anticipated to be
interrupted by construction activities, alternate conduits should be considered to handle the flow.
Large flow volumes can degrade the structural continuity of excavations and bearing materials.
Fill Placement. In grassed or non load bearing areas most of the excavated soils should be
suitable for backfill. Fill in these areas should be placed in lifts no greater than 12 inches thick and
compacted to least 90 percent of the soil's maximum dry density as determined by the standard
Proctor compaction test. Trenches beneath paved areas or future structures should be backfilled
to their design subgrade levels with structural fill. Structural fill is defined as inorganic natural soil
with maximum particle size of 1 inch and a maximum plasticity index of 30. Structural fill should

be placed in relatively thin (4- to 8-inch) layers and compacted to at least 95 percent of the soil's
standard Proctor maximum dry density. The upper i-foot of all structural fill beneath pavements
should be compacted to at least 98 percent.
In our opinion, the sand soils (classifications SM and SC) can be used as a source of structural fill
with some wetting or drying to obtain the required density. The clay soils (CL and CH) may also
be used for backfill, but significant wetting or drying may be required to obtain the required
densities. In areas where these soils are below the water table or are otherwise wet, it may be
more economical to import select fill for areas beneath structures and pavements.
Field Density Testing. We recommend that density testing be performed on a full-time basis
during placement of structural fill beneath roadways and structures. During full-time density
testing, the test frequency can be determined by our personnel based on the area to be tested,
the equipment used, and construction schedule. Tests should be performed at vertical intervals of
2 feet or less as the fill is being placed. We recommend density testing by a technician working
under the direction of our project engineer.
OORE appreciates the opportunity to perform these borings. We can provide additional services
necessary to develop this project, including environmental assessment. Please call us if you have
any questions about this report or our services.

PROCEDURES
SOIL TEST BORING, ASTM 0-1586
The borings were made with a hollow-stem auger powered by a 125-horsepower drill rig.
At regular intervals, soil samples were obtained through the hollow augers with a standard
1.4-inch I.D., 2.0-inch 0.0. split-tube sampler.
The sampler was initially seated 6 inches to penetrate any loose cuttings; then driven an
additional foot with blows of a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches actuated by a rope and
cathead. The number of hammer blows required to drive the sampler the final foot was
recorded and is designated as the standard penetration resistance. Penetration
resistance, when properly evaluated, is an index to soil strength and density.
In the field, the driller logged and described the samples as they were obtained.
Representative portions of each soil sample were then sealed in labeled glass jars and
transported to our laboratory. The samples were examined by a graduate geotechnical
engineer or engineering geologist to visually check the field descriptions. Boring data,
including sample intervals, penetration resistances, soil descriptions, and groundwater
level are shown on the attached Test Boring Records.

Geotechnical Services Are Performed for
Specific Purposes, Persons, and Projects
Geotechnical engineers structure their services to meet the spe-
cific needs of their clients. A geotechnical engineering study con-
ducted for a civil engineer may not fulfill the needs of a construc-
tion contractor or even another civil engineer. Because each geot-
echnical engineering study is unique, each geotechnical engi-
neering report is unique, prepared solely for the client. No one
except you should rely on your geotechnical engineering report
wittlOut first conferring with the geotechnical engineer who pre-
pared it. And no one-not even you-should apply the report for
any purpose or project except the one originally contemplated.
Reiad the Full Report
Senous problems have occurred because those relying on a
geotechnical engineering report did not read it all. Do not rely
on an executive summary. Do not read selected elements only.
A Eieotechnical Engineering Report Is Based on
A Unique Set of Project-Specific Factors
Geotechnical engineers consider a number of unique, project-spe-
cific factors when establishing the scope of a study. Typical factors
include: the client's goals, objectives, and risk management pref-
erences; the general nature of the structure involved, its size, and
configuration; the location of the structure on the site; and other
planned or existing site improvements, such as access roads,
parking lots, and underground utilities. Unless the geotechnical
engineer who conducted the study specifically indicates other-
wise, do not rely on a geotechnical engineering report that was:
. not prepared for you,
. not prepared for your project,
. not prepared for the specific site explored, or
. completed before important project changes were made.
Typical changes that can erode the reliability of an existing
geotechnical engineering report include those that affect:
. the function of the proposed structure, as when
it's changed from a parking garage to an office
building, or from a light industrial plant to a
refrigerated warehouse,
. elevation, configuration, location, orientation, or
weight of the proposed structure,
. composition of the design team, or
. project ownership.
As a general rule, always inform your geotechnical engineer
of project changes--even minor ones-and request an
assessment of their impact. Geotechnical engineers cannot
accept responsibility or liability for problems that occur
because their reports do not consider developments of which
they were not informed.
Subsurface Conditions Can Change
A geotechnical engineering report is based on conditions that
existed at the time the study was performed. Do not rely on a
geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have
been affected by: the passage of time; by man-made events,
such as construction on or adjacent to the site; or by natural
events, such as floods, earthquakes, or groundwater fluctua-
tions. Always contact the geotechnical engineer before apply-
ing the report to determine if it is still reliable. A minor amount
of additional testing or analysis could prevent major problems.
Most Geotechnical Findings Are
Professional Opinions
Site exploration identifies subsurface conditions only at those
points where subsurface tests are conducted or samples are
taken. Geotechnical engineers review field and laboratory data
and then apply their professional judgment to render an opinion
about subsurface conditions throughout the site. Actual sub-
surface conditions may differ-sometimes significantly-from
those indicated in your report. Retaining the geotechnical engi-
neer who developed your report to provide construction obser-
vation is the most effective method of managing the risks asso-
ciated with unanticipated conditions.
I
I
A Report's Recommendations Are Not final
Do not overrely on the construction recommendations included
in your report Those recommendations are not final, because
geotechnical engineers develop them principally from judgment
ana opinion. Geotechnical engineers can finalize their recom-
mendations only by observing actual subsurface conditions
revealed during construction. The geotechnical engineer who
developed your report cannot assume responsibility or liability for
the report's recommendations if that engineer does not perform
construction observation.
I
I
I
A Geotechnical Engineering Report Is Subject
To Misinterpretation
Other design team members' misinterpretation ofge6technical
engineering reports has resulted in costly problems. Lower
that risk by having your geotechnical engineer confer with
appropriate members of the design team after submitting the
report Also retain your geotechnical engineer to review perti-
nent elemen~s of the design team's plans and specifications.
Contractors can also misinterpret a geotechnical engineering
report Reduce that risk by having your geotechnical engineer
participate in prebid and preconstruction conferences, and by
providing construction observation.
I
I
I
I
Do Not Redraw the Engineer's logs
Geotechnical engineers~prepare final boring and testing logs
based upon their interpretation of field logs and laboratory
data. To prevent errors or omissions, the logs included in a
geotechnical engineering report should never be redrawn for
inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. Only photo-
graphic or electronic reprOduction is acceptable, but recognize
that separating logs from the report can elevate risk.
I
I
I
Give Contractors a Complete
Report and Guidance
Some owners and design professionals mistakenly believe they
can make contractors liable for unanticipated subsurface condi-
tions by limiting what they provide for bid preparation. To help
prevent costly problems, give contractors the complete geotech-
nical engineering report, but preface it with a clearly written let-
ter of transmittal. In that letter, advise contractors that the report
was not prepared for purposes of bid development and that the
I
I
I
report's accuracy is limited; encourage them to confer with the
geotechnical engineer who prepared the report (a modest fee
may be required) and/or to conduct additional study to obtain
the specific types of information they need or prefer. A prebid
conference can also be valuable. Be sure contractors have suffi-
cient time to perform additional study. Only then might you be in
a position to give contractors the best information available to
you~ while requiring them to at least share some of the financial
responsibilities stemming from unanticipated conditions.
Read Responsibility Provisions Closely
Some clients, design professionals, and contractors do not
recognize that geotechnical engineering is far less exact than
other ~ngineering disciplines. This lack of understanding has
created unrealistic expectations that have led to disappoint-
ments, claims, and disputes. To help reduce such risks, geot-
echnical engineers commonly include a variety of explanatory
provisions in their reports. Sometimes labeled "limitations",
many of these provisions indicate where geotechnical engi-
neers responsibilities begin and end, to help others recognize
their own responsibilities and risks. Read these provisjons
closely. Ask questions. Your geotechnical engineer should
respond fully and frankly.
Geoenvironmental Concerns Are Not Covered
The equipment, techniques, and personnel used to perform a
geoenvironmental study differ significantly from those used to
perform a geotechnical study. For that reason, a geotechnical
engineering report does not usually relate any geoenvironmen-
tal findings, conclusions, or recommendations; e.g., about the
likelihood of encountering underground storage tanks or regu-
lated contaminants. Unanticipated environmental problems have
led to numerous project failures. If you have not yet obtained
your own geoenvironmental information, ask your geotechnical
consultant for risk management guidance. 00 not rely on an
environmental report prepared for someone else.
Rely on Your Geotechnical Engineer lor
Additional Assistance
Membership in ASFE exposes geotechnical engineer~ to a wide
array of risk management techniques that can be of genuine ben-
efit for'Bveryone involved with a construction project. Confer with
your AS FE-member geotechnical engineer for more information.

5.1 This is not a routine test. The values recorded are
applicable only to the manhole being tested and at the time of
testing.
6. Preparation of the Manhole
6.1 All lift holes sha.ll be plugged.
6.2 iul pipes entering the manhole shall be temporarily
plugged, tabng care to securely brace the pipes and plugs to
prevent them from being drawn into the manhole.
7. Procedure
7.1 The test head shall be placed at the top of the manhole
in accordance with the manufactmer's recommendations.
7.2 A vacuum of 10 in. Hg shan be drawn on the manhole,
the valve onthe vacuum line of the test head dosed, and the
vacuum pump shut off. The time shall be meaSured for the
vacuum to drop to 9 ilL Hg.
7.3 Ibe manhole is acceptable if the time for the vacuum
reading to drop from 10 in. Hg to 9 in. Hg meets or exceeds the
values inciicated in Table 1 ,or Tilble .

A.
Grass Seed: Fresh, clean, dry, new-crop seed complying with AOSA's "Journal of Seed
Technology; Rules for Testing Seeds" for purity and germination tolerances.
B.
Seed Species: State-certified seed of grass species, as indicated on drawings.
TOPSOIL
A.
Topsoil Source: Reuse surface soil stockpiled on-site. Clean surface soil of roots, plants, sod,
stones, clay lumps, and other extraneous materials harmful to plant growth.
FERTILIZER
A.
Commercial Fertilizer: Commercial-grade complete fertilizer of neutral character, consisting of
fast- and slow-release nitrogen, 50 percent derived from natural organic sources of urea
formaldehyde, phosphorous, and potassium in the following composition:
1. Composition: 1 lb/1 000 sq. ft. of actual nitrogen, 4 percent phosphorous, and 2 percent
potassium, by weight.
MULCHES
A.
Straw Mulch: Provide air-dry, clean, mildew- and seed-free, salt hay or threshed straw of
wheat, rye, oats, or barley.
EXAMINATION
A.
Examine areas to receive lawns and grass for compliance with requirements and other
conditions affecting performance. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions
have been corrected.
PREPARATION
A.
Provide erosion-control measures to prevent erosion or displacement of soils and discharge of
soil-bearing water runoff or airborne dust to adjacent properties.

GRASSED AREA PREPARATION
A.
Limit grassed area lawn sub grade preparation to areas to be planted.
B.
Newly Graded Subgrades: Loosen sub grade to a minimum depth of 4 inches. Remove stones
larger than 3 inches] in any dimension and sticks, roots, rubbish, and other extraneous matter
and legally dispose of them off Owner's property.
1. Apply fertilizer directly to subgrade before loosening.
2. Thoroughly blend planting soil mix off-site before spreading or spread topsoil, apply soil
amendments and fertilizer on surface, and thoroughly blend planting soil mix.
C.
Finish Grading: Grade planting areas to a smooth, uniform surface plane with loose, uniformly
fine texture. Grade to within plus or minus 1 inch of finish elevation. Roll and rake, remove
ridges, and fill depressions to meet finish grades. Limit fine grading to areas that can be planted
in the immediate future.
D.
Moisten prepared grassed areas before planting if soil is dry. Water thoroughly and allow
surface to dry before planting. Do not create muddy soil.
E.
Restore areas if eroded or otherwise disturbed after finish grading and before planting.
SEEDING
A.
Sow seed with spreader or seeding machine. Do not broadcast or drop seed when wind velocity
exceeds 5 mph. Evenly distribute seed by sowing equal quantities in two directions at right
angles to each other.
1. Do not use wet seed or seed that is moldy or otherwise damaged.
B. Rake seed lightly into top 1/8 inch oftopsoil, roll lightly, and water with fine spray.
C. Protect seeded areas by spreading straw mulch. Spread uniformly at a minimum rate of 2
tons/acre to form a continuous blanket 1-1/2 inches in loose depth over seeded areas. Spread by
hand, blower, or other suitable equipment.
1. Anchor straw mulch by crimping into topsoil with suitable mechanical equipment.
3.5 HYDRO SEEDING (OPTION)
A. Hydroseeding: Mix specified seed, fertilizer, and fiber mulch in water, using equipment
specifically designed for hydroseed application. Continue mixing until uniformly blended into
homogeneous slurry suitable for hydraulic application.
1. Mix slurry with nonasphaltic tackifier.
2. Apply slurry uniformly to all areas to be seeded in a one-step process. Apply mulch at a
minimum rate of 1500-lb/acre dry weight but not less than the rate required to obtain
specified seed-sowing rate.

3.6 SATISFACTORY GRASSING
A. Satisfactory Seeded Grassing: At end of maintenance period, a healthy, uniform, close stand of
grass has been established, free of weeds and surface irregularities, with coverage exceeding 80
percent over any 10 sq. ft. (0.92 sq. m) and bare spots not exceeding 5 by 5 inches.
B. Reestablish grassing that does not comply with requirements and continue maintenance until
grassing is satisfactory.
3.7 CLEANUP AND PROTECTION
A. Remove erosion-control measures after grass establishment period.
