deletions, or revisions in the Work. The OWNER shall provide CONTRACTOR with a proposal request,
identifying the Work to be added, deleted or revised. Upon receipt, CONTRACTOR shall promptly submita
written proposal for the changed work prepared in accordance with Articles 11 and 12. If the proposal request
calls only for the deletion of Work, the OWNER may order the partial suspension of any Work related to the

not be entitled to claim lost profits on deleted work. All changed Work shall be executed under the applicable
conditions of the Contract Documents.
10.2. Additional Work performed by CONTRACTOR without authorization of a Change Order will not
entitle CONTRACTOR to an increase in the Contract Price or an extension of the Contract Time, except in the
case of an emergency as provided in Article 6. The effect of this paragraph shall remain paramount and shall
prevail irrespective of any conflicting provisions contained in these Contract Documents.
10.3. Upon agreement as to changes in the Work to be performed, Work performed in an emergency

to be reasonable by OWNER. If CONTRACTOR falls to sign such Work Change Directive, CONTRACTdR
may submit a claim in accordance with Articles 11 and 12, but CONTRACTOR shall nevertheless be obligated
to fully perform the work as directed by the Work Change Directive.
10.5. CONTRACTOR shall proceed diligently with performance of the Work as directed by OWNER,
regardless of pending claim actions, unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

approximations prepared by OWNER for bid purposes and that the actual compensation payable to

quantities of items involved as measured in the field and required to complete the Work as originally defined !in
the Contract Documents.

required to complete the Work as defined in the Contract Documents.
11.3.3. Other Unit Prices. For items not designated in the bid proposal as unit prices, OWNER alild
CONTRACTOR may establish unit prices as agreed on by Change Order.
11.3.4. Lump Sum. When it is determined by OWNER that an addition, deletion or revision to the
Work is required which results in a change in Work designated in the Bid Proposal as a lump sum item, the
amount of increase or decrease in the lump sum price shall be established by mutual agreement of the
parties.
11.3.5. If the pricing methods specified in 11.3 are inapplicable, or if the parties are unable to agree ~>n
a price for the changed work, a reasonable price for the same shall be established by OWNER in accordan~e
with 11.4 and 11.5. OWNER shall then process a unilateral Change Order, specifying the said reasonat}le
price, in accordance with 11.4 through 11.6. CONTRACTOR shall pertorm the Work as directed in tne

Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation; and th~t
CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such
payment, PROFESSIONAL will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuoJs
on-site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond th'e
responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in the Contract Documents or that there may not be
other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally t\y
OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. !
14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation
by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to fin~1
payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. I
14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, !n
PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL
may also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or tHe
results of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extert
as may be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: :
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction 9r
replacement.
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order.
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13.14. or '
. 14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated lin
paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive. i
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because clairlls
have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work 6r
Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a off-~t
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (witH a
copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action. !

i
14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use, CONTRACTqR
shall notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for
items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issuel a
certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and
PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. I If
PROFESSIONAL does not consider the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify
CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substanti~lIy
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 certificat~ 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 a1ny

provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objections, PROFESSIONAL conclud~
that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will, within fourteen days after submission ofttlb
tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing stating the reasons therefor. If, aftJr
consideration of OWNER's, objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete,
PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR la
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be completed 6r
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 and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as ~o
division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to
security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER ahd
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAl's issuihg

inspection of that part ofthe Work to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consid~r
that part of the Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify OWNER and CONTRACTO~,
in writing, giving the reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part of the Work to be SUbstantiallY
complete, the provisions of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substant al
Completion of that part of ttle Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
I

1. DESCRIPTION !
The work covered by this section consists of furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment to perform' all
neces,sary operations to topsoil, fine grade, fertilize, mulch and maintain temporary and permanbnt
seeding of all graded, cleared, or disturbed areas during construction. The work covered by this section
shall be in conformance with the latest version of local and state Department of Transportation
requirements. I
2.1. TODsoil i
Topsoil shall be from stockpiles created from stripping and required excavation. Should additional topsoil
be required in excess of that obtained from stripping and excavation, the contractor shall obtain matdrial
from other sources on the site where authorized by the OWNER, or from approved sources off the ~ite_
The tlJpsoil shall be natural, friable soil, possessing characteristics of representative soils in the vicihity
which produce heavy growths of crops of grass. It shall be obtained from naturally well-drained ardas,
shall be reasonably free from subsoil, brush, objectionable weeds, and other litter and shall be free frbm
toxic :substances, clay lumps, stones, roots and other objects larger than 1 inch in diameter, or any other
material which might be harmful to plant growth or be a hindrance to grading, planting, and maintenatce
operations.
2.2. Fertilizer i
I
Fertili:zer shall be the product of an approved commercial fertilizer manufacturer and shall be 5~10-5
grade, uniform in composition, free-flowing material suitable for application with approved stand~rd
equipment. The fertilizer shall conform to the applicable State fertilizer laws and shall be delivered to the
site in bags or other convenient containers each fully labeled and bearing the name, trademark, ~nd
warranty of the producer. '
2.3. Lime ,
Lime shall be ground limestone containing not less than 85% of total carbonates and shall be groun~ to
such '~neness that at least 50% will pass through a 100-mesh sieve and at least 90% will pass through a
20-mE~sh sieve. Coarser materials will be acceptable provided the specified rates of application ~re
increc:lsed proportionately on the basis of quantities passing the 1 DO-mesh sieve, but no additi~nal
payml9nt will be made for the increased quantity. I
2.4. Mulch

3. INSTALLATION
3.1. Seedbed Preoaration
3.1.1. Clearing 1
Prior to or during grading and tillage operations, the ground surface shall be well drained, cleared o~ all
brush, roots, stones larger than 2 inches in diameter, or any other material which may hinder proper
grading, tillage, or subsequent maintenance operations. '
3.1.2. Fine Grading :
Areas to be seeded shall be graded as shown on the drawings or as directed and all surfaces shall be Ileft
in an even and properly compacted condition so as to prevent the formation of depressions where wJter
will stand. Areas to be topsoiled shall be graded to a smooth surface and to a grade that will allow
topsoiling to finished grade. [
3.1.3. Topsoiling
ImmEldiately prior to placing topsoil, the subgrade, where excessively compacted by traffic or other
cauSE~S, shall be loosened by scarifying to a depth of at least 2 inches to permit bonding of the topsoil to
the subgrade. Topsoil shall be uniformly spread by approved equipment in sufficient quantity to provi~e a
compacted layer of 4 inches in thickness over the designated areas and in such manner that planting can
proceed with little additional soil preparation or tillage. Topsoil shall not be placed when the subgrad~ is
frozen, excessively wet, extremely dry, or in a condition otherwise detrimental to the proposed planting or
to prclper grading. Topsoil shall be graded to the lines indicated or as directed and any irregularities in j' he
surface resulting from topsoilin9 or other operations shall be corrected to prevent formations of
deprE~ssions where water will stand. i
3.1.4. Tillage i
After topsoiled areas required to be seeded have been brought to the grades shown on the plans and as
specified, they shall be thoroughly tilled to a depth of 3 inches by approved methods, until the conditio~ of
the soil is acceptable to the ENGINEER. Any objectionable undulations or irregularities in the su~ce
resulting from tillage or other operations shall be removed before planting operations are begun. The
work shall be performed only during periods when satisfactory results are likely to be obtained. When
conditions are such, by reason of drought, excessive moisture or other factors, that results are not likely' to
be scltisfactory, the ENGINEER will stop the work and it shall be resumed only when, in his opinion. ~he
desifl~ results are likely to be obtained. !

revoked at any time if equipment is not maintained in satisfactory working condition, or if the equipment
operaltion damages the seed. !
3.2.3. Limestone, fertilizer, and seed shall be applied within 24 hours after completion of seedbed
prepalration unless otherwise permitted by the ENGINEER, but no limestone or fertilizer shall I be
distributed and no seed shall be sown when the ENGINEER determines that weather and soil conditions
are unfavorable for such operations. I
3.2.4. During the application of fertilizer, adequate precautions shall be taken to prevent damagJ to
structures or any other appurtenances. The CONTRACTOR shall either provide adequate covering or
chanue methods of application as required to avoid such damage. When such damage occurs, ~I he
CONTRACTOR shall repair it, including any cleaning that may be necessary. .
i
3.3. Limestone and Fertilizer i
Limestone may be applied as a part of the seedbed preparation, provided it is immediately worked into ~he
soil. If not so applied, limestone and fertilizer shall be distributed uniformly over the prepared seedbe~ at
a specified rate of application and then harrowed, raked, or otherwise thoroughly worked or mixed into Ithe
seedbed. .
3.3.1. If liquid fertilizer is used, storage containers for the liquid fertilizer shall be located on the project
and shall be equipped for agitation of the liquid prior to its use. The storage containers shall be equipped
with clpproved measuring or metering devices which will enable the ENGINEER to record at any time lthe
amount of liquid that has been removed from the container. Application equipment for liquid fertilifer,
other than a hydraulic seeder, shall be calibrated to insure that the required rate of fertilizer is apPlied
uniformly. .
I
3.4. SeedinQ i
Seed shall be distributed uniformly over the seedbed at the rate indicated in the seeding schedule, and
imme'diately harrowed, dragged, raked, or otherwise worked so as to cover the seed with a layer of Soil.
The depth of covering shall be as directed by the ENGINEER. If two kinds of seed are to be used wrlich
require different depths of covering, they shall be sown separately. !
i
3.4.1. . When a combination seed and fertilizer drill is used, fertilizer may be drilled in with the seed after
limestone has been applied and worked into the soil. If two kinds of seed are being used which req~ire
different depths of covering, the seed requiring the lighter covering may be sown broadcast or with a
special attachment to the drill, or drilled lightly following the initial drilling operation. I
3.4.2. When a hydraulic seeder is used for application of seed and fertilizer, the seed shall not remai~ in
water containing fertilizer for more than 30 minutes prior to application unless otherwise permitted by !the
ENGINEER. I
3.4.3. Immediately after seed has been properly covered, the seedbed shall be compacted in Ithe
manner and degree approved by the ENGINEER.
3.5. Modifications :
When adverse seeding conditions are encountered due to steepness of slope, height of slope, or soli
conditions, the ENGINEER may direct or permit that modifications be made in the above requirements
I
3.7.2. Mowing
The seeded areas shall be mowed with approved mowing equipment as per seeding schedule.
or other undesirable vegetation threaten to smother the planted species, such vegetation
removed at no cost to the OWNER.

shall I be
which pertain to incorporating limestone into the seedbed; covering limestone, seed, and fertilizer; and
compaction of the seedbed. I
3.5.1. Such modifications may include but not be limited to the following.
3.5.1.1. The incorporation of limestone into the seedbed may be omitted on (a) cut slopes steeper t~an
2: 1 (b) on 2: 1 cut slopes when a seedbed has been prepared during the excavation of the cut and is still in
an acceptable condition; or (c) on areas of slopes where the surface of the area is too rocky to permitlthe
incorporation of the limestone. ;
3.5.1.2. The rates of application of limestone, fertilizer, and seed on slopes 2:1 or steeper or on robky
surfaces may be reduced or eliminated. I
3.5.1.3. Compaction after seeding may be reduced or eliminated on slopes 2: 1 or steeper, on rofkY
surfaces, or on other areas where soil conditions would make compaction undesirable.
3.6. Mulch
3.6.1. General i
All seeded areas shall be mulched unless otherwise indicated on the plans or directed by the ENGINEER.
Application rate of mulch shall be indicated in seeding schedule. !
3.6.2. Mulching i

ENGINEER. Care shall be exercised to prevent displacement of soil or seed or other damage to the
seeded area during the mulching operations. ,
3.6.3. Mulch shall be uniformly spread by hand or by approved mechanical spreaders or blowers that!will
provide an acceptable application. An acceptable application will be that which will allow some sunligHt to
penetrate and air to circulate but also partially shade the ground, reduce erosion, and conserve ~il
moisture. I
3.6.4. Mulch Binding !
Mulch shall be held in place using devices approved by the ENGINEER as per manufactuqers
recommendations. During application, the CONTRACTOR shall take adequate precautions to pre~ent
damage to structures or appurtenances. i
