EXCAVATION FROM BORROW AREAS Sample Clauses

EXCAVATION FROM BORROW AREAS. Wherever required or directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall obtain suitable material for compacted fill from borrow areas. Such suitable borrow material shall be excavated, moved to fill areas and spared as specified. The locations and boundaries of the borrow areas as well as the depths and slopes of excavation therein shall be as determined or approved by the Engineer’s Representative. Before commencing to extract filling material from any borrow area, the Contractor shall strip its surface as specified in Sub-Section 201.2.3 above and shall also remove therefrom all material which is, in the Engineer’s opinion, unsuitable for filling. The surface of the borrow shall be left in a reasonably smooth and even condition, as approved by the Engineer’s Representative. No excess borrow material shall be brought to fill areas. Unnecessary material shall be rejected and dumped and shall not be measured for payment. Measurement for payment of excavation in borrow areas shall be made only for excavation of borrow material actually used as fill, to the lines and dimensions prescribed by the Engineer’s Representative. Measurement shall be by cubic metres and the unit rate shall include for stripping (which shall not be measured and paid for) and for removing unsuitable material, hauling to fill areas at any distance. All materials from borrow pits placed in embankments and compacted backfill will again be included for payment under the applicable rates of the Bills of Quantities for compacting such earthwork. Provided always that the cost of borrowed material has not been specified to be included in those relevant pay items for which the same borrowed material is to be supplied.
