This work shall include placing and shaping
topsoil on all unpaved areas within the street right-of-way, within
drainage easements and in grassed ditches. The depth of topsoil shall
be six inches.
Material for this work shall conform to the
requirements for topsoil in State Form 810, Article M.13.01-1.
A.
The areas on which topsoil is to be placed shall be
graded to a reasonably true surface. Topsoil shall then be spread
and shaped to the lines and grades shown on the plans or as directed
by the Town Engineer. The depth of six inches to which the topsoil
is to be placed is that required after settlement of the material
has taken place. All stones, roots, debris, sod, weeds and other undesirable
material shall be removed. After shaping and grading, all trucks and
other equipment shall be excluded from the topsoiled area to prevent
excessive compaction. The contractor shall perform such work as required
to provide a friable surface for seed germination and plant growth
prior to seeding.
B.
During hauling and spreading operations, the contractor
shall immediately remove any material dumped or spilled on the shoulders
or pavement.
C.
It shall be the contractor's responsibility to restore
to the line, grade and surface all eroded areas with approved material
and to keep topsoiled areas in acceptable condition until accepted
by the Town.
