APPENDIX E <br />LGC VALLEY, INC. <br />General Earthwork and Gradinz Specifications For Rou,-h Grading <br />1.0 General <br />1.1 Intent: These General Earthwork and Grading Specifications are for the grading and <br />earthwork shown on the approved grading plan(s) and/or indicated in the geotechnical <br />report(s). These Specifications are a part of the recommendations contained in the <br />geotechnical report(s). In case of conflict, the specific recommendations in the <br />geotechnical report shall supersede these more general Specifications. Observations of <br />the earthwork by the project Geotechnical Consultant during the course of grading may <br />result in new or revised recommendations that could supersede these specifications or <br />the recommendations in the geotechnical report(s). <br />1.2 The Geotechnical Consultant of Record: Prior to commencement of work, the owner <br />shall employ a qualified Geotechnical Consultant of Record (Geotechnical Consultant). <br />The Geotechnical Consultant shall be responsible for reviewing the approved <br />geotechnical report(s) and accepting the adequacy of the preliminary geotechnical <br />findings, conclusions, and recommendations prior to the commencement of the <br />grading. <br />Prior to commencement of grading, the Geotechnical Consultant shall review the "work <br />plan" prepared by the Earthwork Contractor (Contractor) and schedule sufficient <br />personnel to perform the appropriate level of observation, mapping, and compaction <br />testing. <br />During the grading and earthwork operations, the Geotechnical Consultant shall <br />observe, map, and document the subsurface exposures to verify the geotechnical design <br />assumptions. If the observed conditions are found to be significantly different than the <br />interpreted assumptions during the design phase, the Geotechnical Consultant shall <br />inform the owner, recommend appropriate changes in design to accommodate the <br />observed conditions, and notify the review agency where required. <br />The Geotechnical Consultant shall observe the moisture -conditioning and processing of <br />the subgrade and fill materials and perform relative compaction testing of fill to <br />confirm that the attained level of compaction is being accomplished as specified. The <br />Geotechnical Consultant shall provide the test results to the owner and the Contractor <br />on a routine and frequent basis. <br />LGC Valley, Inc. <br />General Earthwork and Grading Specifications <br />Pag i Council 18 — 960 10/3/2023 <br />
