sequential number for each item,and is for the Architect's use in tracking the dates and status of each
submittal.
The Contractor may also use the register to track the status of submitting but should not rely solely on the
register as a complete listing ofrequired submittals. Failure to Est a submittal on the registerwill not relieve
the Contractor from responsibility to provide the submittal.
The Architect will periodically issue updated copies ofthe register to the Contractor until the requirements
for submittals,including closeout submittals,are met. The Contractor should mark each submittal with the
appropriate submittal number when transmitting submittals for review.

Removal and disposal includes the following:
Stumps,roots, trees and other organic materials.
Pavement, foundations, concrete, and other inorganic materials.
Abandoned utilities and utilities indicated to be removed.
Organic and other unsuitable soil materials.
Stability of Excavations:

concrete on the bearing surface. Increase the foundation depth accordingly.
Cold Weather Protection: Protect excavationbottoms against freezing when the atmospheric temperature
is less than 35 degrees F.
COMPACTION REQUIREMENTS
General: Compact and fill and backfill to the same density as adjacent in-place material.

be made with the roller. Any soft yielding areas shall be excavated and replaced with acceptable fill
material. Fill shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 12 inches in loose thickness(6 inches for mechanical
hand tampers). Continue compaction until requirements specified herein are attained.
Percentage ofMaximum Density Requirements: Compact soils to not less than the following percentages
of the Modified Proctor maximum dry density, ASTM D 1557.
Existing Subgrades Under Structures: Compact subgrade 24 inches below existing grade to 95 percent
maximum density at optimum moisture.

maximum density at optimum moisture.
Walks and Slabs: Compact top 12 inches of subgrade and each layer of fill orbackfill to 95 percent
maximum density at optimum moisture.
Moisture Control:
Where the subgrade or layer of soil material must be moisture conditioned before compaction,
uniformly apply water to the surface or subgrade,or layer of soil material,to prevent free water
appearing on the surface during subsequent to compaction operations.
