Clearing: The right of way shall be cleared to the width of,• ......................................•.._,.feet on each side of the center line unless in case of a heavy cut or fill or for other reasons it may be necessary to increase this width, in which case the engineer will specify the width to be cleared. The clearing must be done in such manner that all useful timber may be saved. Trees of large dimensions shall be trimmed and put in shape for use in construction purposes or for market; when so trimmed they shall be piled in such places along the line of the road as the engineer may direct. Brushwood, stumps, limbs,. etc., must not be cast upon the adjacent land, but shall be formed into piles and burned; stumps and other material that will not burn, must be removed from the work and disposed of by the contractor. All brush or trees that may fall upon the adjacent lands must be taken off and disposed of as above described. The land cleared must be left in a clean condition, and the contractor will be held responsible for all damages to crops, fences, fruit trees, timber or other property of adjacent owners. All stumps shall be cut off close to the ground. Grubbing; Where excavations do not exceed three (3) feet in depth or embankments one foot in height, all stumps shall be grubbed out. The drains and ditches shall 6e grubbed whenever required. Grading: Grading will include all excavations and embankments required to form a roadway, all excavations and embankments required to form connections with intersecting roads, excavations for the foundations of all structures, excavations for altering charnels of streams, etc., and all other excavations required for the full completion of the road. The grading shall be executed in accordance with the lines and grades given by the engineer. The portions which axe above grade are to be excavated, and such and so much of the excavated material as may be suitable for the purpose, and as may be necessary, shall be filled in those parts which are below the grade lines. The material excavated, not used for filling, shall be placed in spoil banks at such points as the engineer designates, and properly leveled. Embankments: The embankments will be formed to such height above grade as the engineer may direct, to provide for shrinkage, compression, washing and settlement, and they must be maintained to the required height, width, and shape until accepted. Whenever embankments are made from side ditches or borrow pits, the width of the berm to be left at the foot of the slopes will be given by the engineer and in no case shall be less than 4 feet. In the formation of embankments no mud, muck, vegetable matter, stumps or other perishable materials, will be allowed to be used. Such material must be removed from the line of the work and disposed of as the engineer may direct. The slopes of embankments will generally be 1=a feet horizontal to 1 ft. vertical, of earth excava- tions 1 ft. horizontal to 1 ft. vertical, of rock excavations / of 1 ft. horizontal to 1 ft. vertical; and no allowance for excavations outside the limits of these slopes will be made unless specially ordered by the engineer. The width, slopes, and other dimensions may be varied at any "time by the engineex to suit circumstances. Rock and boulders shall be excavated to the depth of one foot below the grade line and the space filled with earth or gravel. (2) easurement and Classification: All earthwork shall be measured in excavation and will be class- ified under the following heads, viz.: earth, loose rock, solid rock. Earth will include clay, gravel, loam, decomposed rock, and slate, stones and boulders containing less than one cubic foot, and all other matters of an earthy nature, however compact they may be, that can be plowed with six horses. Loose rock will include all boulders and detached masses of rock measuring more than one cubic foot and less than one cubic yard; also hardpan, cement gravel, sandstone, and all other materials of a rock nature, (except solid rock) which may be loosened with a pick, even though blasting maybe resorted to in order to expedite the work. Solid rock will include al] rock found in place in ledges, and in masses or boulders measuring one cubic yard or more, and which can only be removed by blasting, which fact will be determined by the engineer. Drains and Ditches: At such places as may be designated by the engineer, drains will be formed in the following manner: The trenches will be opened to the width and several depths given by the engineer. In the trenches so opened, drains of corrugated metal, porus or vitrified tile, stone, lumber or timber and of the form and dimensions directed by the engineer, shall be constucted. All catch-water and off-take ditches and all other drains and ditches shall be excavated by the contractor at such points and of such form and dimensions as the engineer may deem necessary for the proper drainage of the road. Corrugated 1VIetal Culvert: If the corrugated metal culverts are specified they will be of same design as and of a quality equal to that manufactured under U. S. patent No. 559,642. Tile: Tile must be of first quality, well burnt, straight, sound and free from all defects impairing strength or durability. Laging of Tile: The ends of the porus the shall be laid in close contact, covered with a piece of burlap 12 inches square folded twice, or by a strip of burlap 6 inches wide and long enough to wrap 1/ times around the pipe, giving double thickness on the top half ; the vitrified the shall be laid with the ~~bell end" up stream and the joints shall be closed with cement mortar; the filling of the trench shall be done with such kind of material as the engineer shall direct. In case wooden boxes are used in place of tiling the same will be shown on plan with specifications. Culverts: All culverts to be constructed of either first class concrete, third or fourth class masonry or of wood, as shown on lines of standard sheets with details stipulating the different parts entering into the construction of whichever kind to be used. Both ends of culverts made of first class concrete shall be flanked by wing walls made of loose rock or cobble under the directions of the engineer and placed at such an angle as to sustain all adjoining sloping banks. The foundation of culverts made of first class concrete or third class masonry shall consist of concrete where the nature of the soil demands, or of cobble or broken stone properly rammed ; in either case the dimension of said foundations shall be the same as shown on plans prepared by the engineer. Wooden Culverts: Wooden culverts of 12-inch waterways or less to consist of two logs either fir or cedar entirely sound throughout, of not less than 16 inches in diameter at the top end, trimmed smooth of all knots and knobs, and long enough to extend to center of ditches or toe of banks and laid parallel and not closer than 10 inches apart. Logs to be dapped or notched every 4 feet, 4 inches on top side to receive stringers for covering. Covering to consist of two 4x12-inch planks same length as logs. Planks to be sound and free from all decay or bad knots and acceptable to the engineer. wooden culverts of large diameter and up to 48-inch waterways shall be built of sound logs not less than 16 feet in length, not less than 14 inches in diameter, with tie logs at intervals of 8 feet and between all courses, properly notched into the face logs, extending across the full width of the embankment and properly anchored where necessary. Top logs to be dapped or notched as in smaller culverts, stringers or floor joist to be nbt less ~han 8 inches in diameter, flattened on upper side for all sizes of log culverts. cis . ,~.~.~~~~~. . ~. 's'~ i ~s; .. Concrete made of one part cement, three parts of clean sand and five parts of crushed stone or clean gravel, shall be used where directed by the engineer. The crushed stone or gravel shall be of such character as may be approved by the engineer and shall not exceed 2/ inches maximum dimensions, but shall include all smaller dimensions except crusher dust or sand, earth or other foreign matter. All concrete shall be deposited in a careful and workmanlike manner to the satisfaction of the engineer. 1Vlasonry: Third class masonry will generally be used for retaining and slope walls wherever deemed necessary by the engineer. It shall consist of sound stones laid on their natural beds, and roughly squared where used for face rock. The walls shall be carried up in courses ranging from 15 to 18 inches in height ; each course shall be well bonded, having a header at every three feet. Not more than one third of the stones shall be less than 9 inches thick, or contain less than two cubic feet, and no stone shall be less than 6 inches thick. The stones shall be laid in cement mortar consisting of one part cement and two parts sand, and each course well grouted. Fourth class masonry will be used for culverts, retaining and slope walls, and paving of box and arch culverts where deemed necessary by the engineer, and will consist of stone laid dry. The stones for this class of work must be sound, flat bedded stone. Not more than one third of the stones shall be less than one foot thick, and no stone shall be less than 6 inches thick or have a bed area of less than one foot. The stones shall be set horizontally on their largest bed and so well bedded and fitted as to require neither spans or wedges to keep them in place. Cement: All cement furnished must be of some well and favorably known brand and shall be tested and approved by the engineer. Any cement rejected by the engineer shall be removed at once from the work. Corduroy: Should corduroy be necessary at any point it shall be made of round timber not less than 12 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter or of split timber not less than 6 inches in thickness laid upon 4 longitudinal pieces of timber or sills not less than 6 inches in diameter or thickness. The sills shall he properly spaced and bedded deep enough to bring their tops flush with the ground. The transverse pieces shall be bound by a longitudinal walling of the same or greater dimensions, well treenailed through the floor and into the outside sills. Corduroy shall be well covered with earth or gravel to such depth as may be directed by the engineer. Short Span Bridges: 4 foot to 15 foot span to be constructed as per standard plans. Bridges of spans exceeding 15 feet will be constructed according .individual bridge including foundations and approaches and superstructures. to specific plans for each Riprap: In cases where slopes require protection from the action of water, the protection works will be constructed of stone or timber cribbing. Riprap embankment shall be composed of large and heavy stone not subject to disintegration or •decomposition. The stones shall be placed in the work as shown on the plans or as directed by the engineer. The front and top faces of embankments shall be formed of stone carefully placed in as close contact as possible, and laid at right angles to the slope and as true as practicable on the lines given by the engineer. In forming the face, its thickness shall consist, so far as practicable, of one stone and each stone shall be laid with its largest dimension placed up and down the slope so that the number of joints shall be the least possible. No stone shall be used which the engineer considers to be too irregular in .shape to form paving as contemplated. When soft bottom is found, brush may first be laid to prevent settlement of riprap into the mud. All stones shall break joints at least three (3) inches. (4) C i ~ Cribbing: Timber cribbing shall be built of sound straight logs, of the best kind of timber at :hand. Wherever cribbing is placed upon earth foundation the lower course of logs shall be laid upon mudsills which shall be not less than 3 feet in length and 12 inches thick with a 12 inch face and placed not more than 8 feet apart and sunk in the ground so that the top of the sill shall be level with the solid ground. The lower course of logs shall be,dapped so that the flat surface shall rest upon each sill and shall be drift bolted to each sill with /-inch drift bolts extending at least 6 inches into the sill. The top course of logs shall be bolted to the course below, at intervals of 8 feet, with ~~-inch drift bolts which shall extend at least 10 inches into the second log. The cribbing shall be built of logs not less than 16 feet in length and 12 inches in diameter at the :smaller end, and etch course of logs shall break joints with the adjoining courses. The crib logs shall be held in place by tie logs laid at intervals of not more than 8 feet and at right angles with the face of 'the crib, extending toward the center of the road and of such length as may be necessary to securely .hold the crib logs in place. The tie logs shall not be less than 8 inches in diameter, shall extend through the crib timber 4 inches clear of the outside of the crib, and each tie timber where the crib timber rests upon it, shall have a bevel cut to fit a corresponding cut in the crib timber, so that the crib timber resting on it shall bear on the crib timber beneath, and there shall be (i inches of clear wood in each tie timber between the bevel cuts and they shall be let into the crib timbers not less than 3 .inches.
