The contract will be a lump sum contract. Monthly estimates
of the work done will be made by the Engineer in charge, and payment
will be made for ~5 per cent of the value of the work done: fifteen
per cent (15%) to be retained till the contract is completed and
accepted by the Oounty Engineer, County Commissioners and State High-
way Oommissioner.
As a basis for making monthly estimates, a schedule of prices
to be used will be based upon the prices in the preliminary estimate
which prices shall be increased or reduced in the same ratio that
the lump sum price bears to the preliminary estimate.
'The contractor must make payments to the State as are required
by Chapter 74 of the Laws of 1911 (Industrial Insurance Act).
All work on the contract shall be performed in days of eight hours,
except in case of extraordinary emergency.
In case of non-completion of the contract/from Sta. 0+00 to Sta.

will be allowed, unless a written permission shall have been previous-
ly obtained from the County Engineer.
H.. The oounty Engineer 'during the progress of the wbrk, may
by giving notioe to the oontraotors, alter any of the details of oon-
struction in any manner that may be found expedient or suitable: suoh
alterations shall not invalidate the oontraot, and the oontraotor must
aooept and execute the same as if they were part of the original con-
traot, and at the completion of the work an allowance will be made
for such alterations, eto, either for or against the oontraotor as
the oase may be, and the value of suoh alterations will be estimated
by the engineer from the sohedule of rates and prices attaohed to the
contraot" or should it not apply., the equitable amount will be esti-
mated by the engineer.
i.. It is mutually agreed between the parties to the oon-

The material required for the formation of embankment not formed
from the excavation taken from the regular sections of the roadbed
will be obtained from the side ditches as shown on the profile or as
staked by the Bngineer and from excavations outside of the roadbed
known as borrow pits.
The side ditches shall conform to the stakes set by the Engineer.
Should it be necessary at any place to be below the level of the
ground water in excavation) such excavated material will be included

under the heads of excavation or embankment and no additional com-
pensation will be made for wet excavation or fur such material placed
in embankmen t .
No shrinkage will allowed for material placed in embankment
from borrow pits and payment will be made on quantities computed from
the cross-section of the embankment as staked by the Engineero
Grading will be measured in excavation. If the roadbed excavation
of regular sections does not furnish sufficient material for forming
the embankment~1 the additional material required will be obtained
by widening the roadbed or from excavations outside of the roadbed
known as borrow pits. If a borrow pit is of necessity so irregular
in shape as to make an accurate measurement impossible, the settled
embankment formed from such borrow pit may be taken as the measure
of the excavation in the borrow pit.
Side slopes shall be made as staked by the enginerr. In case
slopes shall slide into the excavation during the progress of the
work, the slide material shall be removed at contract prices per
cubic yard for extra work. Overbreake due to blasting will be re-
moved by the Contra tor at his own expense
The surface of the roadbed shall conform strictly to the final
grades set by the Engineer, and shall be composed of the best ma~erial
'~ ;".,.
obtainable from the excavation. No boulders s~all be left protruding ,
from the surface and all stones of greater diameter than two inches
shall be removed from the entire surface of the roadbed.

The material composing the embankment must be entirely im~
perishable, and wherever the natural surface upon which the embank~
mentis to be placed is of such a nature as, in the opinion of the
Engineer, would impair the stability or usefulness of the surface,
it shall be removed to such width and depth aa the engineer may
direct, and the materials so removed, disposed of as ordered. When-
ever the site of an embankment is covered with snow sufficiently
deep to impair the utility of the worJ,the same must be removed
and deposited beyond the slope stakes. Work of this nature shall
always be at least one hundred (100) feet in advance of the embank....
ment. In all cases wherever the engineer may deem such a course
necessary, the cuttings shall be made below grade, and clean sand,
gravel, or other material deemed proper for a roadbed, shall be
procured by the contractor, and deposited a.s the engineer may direct,
and such work shal,l be estimated and paid for at the same price per
cubic yard as other grading.
All exca.Vation shall, if required, be ta.ken or hauled into
the nearest embankment to the extreme distance required by the
Engineer. The surplus beyond what is necessary to form the con-
tiguous embankment, is to be disposed of in widening the embank-
ments uniformly along one or both sides of the same, or is to be
deposited in waste banks or otherwise, or is to be hauled to form any
embankment on the road to be improved, as the Engineer may direct.
In cases where the quantity or material taken from the regular cut-
tings shall not be sufficient to form the requisite embankment, the
deficiency shallebe supplied by taking material from cuttings within
or without the right-of-way, at such places as the engineer may direct,

or from an enlargement of the regular outtings, made equally or
uniformly on one or both sides of the same, and the sides of the
exoavation in all cases shall be dreased to suoh slope as the Engineer
may require, provided, that if the contraotor shall have sloped suoh
exoavation by direotion of the Engineer before widening the same,
he shall reoeive for sloping the second time suoh compensation as
the Engineer may deem fair and reasonableo
Borrow pits shall be connected with ditches and drained to the
nearest natural outlet. Side slopes of borrow pits on the right-
of-way shall be the same as used in the oross-section of adjoining
roadbed. A berm of not less than six (6) feet in 'width shall be
left between the slope stakes of the embankment and the edge of the
borrow p~t: and a'berm of not les6 than two (2) feet shall be left
between the ,outside slope of the borrow pit and the right of way
i
line. The berm must consist of original unbroken ground.
In rock excavation the contractor shall be required to excavate
eight (8) inches below the grade and to back fill with material
approved by the engineer, to true grade andcrown. Allowance will
be made to the contractor, at contract prices for excavation and
borrow, if necessary to borrow material for back-fill..
Whenever the right-of-way is crossed by public or private roads,
commod~ous passing places must be kept open and in safe condition
for use, at the expense of the contraotor and in passing through
farms the contractor must also keep up, at his own expense, such
temporary fences as shall be necessary for the'preservation of the
crops, and all damages resulting from a non-compliance with this
spe'lfication wili be charged to the contractor.
Contractors, when directed by the engineer, shall deposit on
the side of the road, or at such convenient points as may be designated
any stone or rock that they may excavate, and if in so
doing, they shall deposit material required for, embankment, the
additional number of cubic yards of excavation required in forming

suoh embankment will be allowed and paid for. All stone or rook
exoavated and deposited as above, together with all timber removed
from the line of the road, shall be the property of the County and
the oontractor will be held responsible for its safekeeping until
removed by the property authority, or until the contraot is completed.
4. CULVERTS. Culverts are to be of concrete, and of wood as
shown on the profile. Log culverts shall be built of sound cedar logs
not less than 16 feet in length, not less than 12 inches in diameter
with tie logs at intervals of eight feet and between all oourses,
properly notched into the faoe of the log extending across the full
width of the embankment, and anchored where necessary. Covering to
oonsist of cedar slabs at least six inches in thickness and extending
across and at right angles to the side logs. Log culverts to be

shall be removed from the entire surface of the roadbed.
The materials composing the embankments must be entirely im-
perishable, and wherever the natur~l surfaoe upon which the embank-
ment is to be placed is of such a nature as, in the opinion of the
Engineer, would impair the stability or usefulness of the surface"
it shall be rempved to such width and depth as the engineer may
direot, and the materials so removed, disposed of as or~ere~~When-
ever the site of an embankment is covered with snow sufficiently
deep to impair the utility of the work, the same must be remoyed
and deposited beyond the slope stakes. Work of this na~ure shall
always be at least one hundred (100) feet in advance of the embank-
ment,~ In all cases wherever the. engineer may deem such a oourse
neoessary, the cuttings sha.ll be made below grade,,, and olea.n sand,

MIXING. Approved mixing machinery may be used.
Hand mixing shall be done as follows: The Contractor shall
provide water-tight platforms, of an approved size and form. The sand
and cement, each in its proper proportion, shall be thoroughly mixed
dry. Enough water shall then be added to make a plastic mortar.
After the Mortar has been brought to the proper consistency, the
broken stone, having previously been drenched with water, shall be
added. The mass shall then be turned with shovels at least three (3)
times, adding more water from time to time, until the mixture is plas-
tic and quakes under the blow of the tamper.
The concrete thus prepared shall be deposited in the forms
in uniform layers, of such thickness that it can be incorporated with
the one previously laid. It shall be so conveyed and placed that
there shall be no distinct separation of the differ~;Lt ingredients.
Each layer shall be tamped with iron-shod tamping bar's weighing not
less than eight pounds. The faces against the forms shall be well
spaded to give a smooth even surface when forms are removed. All
mortar and concrete shall be used while fresh and before it has been
set. Any mortar or concrete that has taken an initial set shall be
removed from the mixing boards, and not used in the work. No re-temp-
ering of mortar or concrete shall be allowed.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR GRAl'EL SURFAOE
#==!Fffl=m:fF#=#41-f1=./I-4/ifH=fHI=4I=m
Immediately in advanoe of depositing gravel, as surfaoing
material, all ruts and inequalities in the subgrade shall be
leveled and filled by dragging the subgrade with a log.drag
or other devioe a.pproved by the Engineer. Any existing ruts in
the subgrade whioh contain storm water shall be drained a.s far
as pOssible in advanoe of the dragging above specified. If the
surfaoe material is to be hauled over the subgrade, the oontrac,or
shall oonstantly keep the subg&ade in good repair, draining all
ruts and shaping the subgrade by dragging or other means as
m&y be found neoessary in order that the haul may tend to
oompaot a.nd. build up a firm sub'grade.. In oase. the hauling is
done over the surfaoing material already deposited, the surfaoe
sha.ll be dragged as often as may be direoted by the Engineer,
fillinf(; up all ruts that may be oaused:by the hauling in such
a way as to compact the surfaoing material alrea.dy laid a.s mlioh
as possible.
The quality' of the gravel to be used for surfaoing shall be
approved by the Engineer and shall oontain suoh a. percentage
of olay or other binding material as may be direotedby the Engineer.
A small peroentage of sa.nd or olay will be a.llowed with the
gravel, but if, in the opinion of the Engineer, ther<<: is a.n
exoess of such fine material, suoh excess s;&ll be screened
out and wa.sted. None. of the pebble&t oomposing the surfaoing
material shall exoeed one and one half inchea in their largest
dimensions, a.nd if aay larger stones are deposited upon the road,
they shall be removed therefrom by the oontraotor at his OWn expense.
Any stones exoee41n~' one and one half in~hes in their largest 1
dimensions which are foung upon the subgrade in advance of depositing ....
the surfaoing material shall be removed by the oontraotor and the oost
of removing same shall be inoluded in the oontraot price. Thej.
surfaoini material shall be deposited upon the road to a depth
of six (6) inoheaand a width of twelve (12) feet.. The spreadinj
shall be done a.s soon as the surfaoing materia.l is dumpe~a.nd the
materi~l shall be uniformly distributed. The maximum olay oontent
allowed shall be fifteen (15) peroent.
The intent of these speoifioations is to provtide a firm
and well drained subgrade a.nd a gravel surfaoe that will paok
quiokly and firmly under traffi~ and will not oontain annoying
hummooks or large stones.
Clay or other suitable binding material shall be added
in suah quantities as may be direoted by the Engineer, so that
the surfaoing material will paok firmly under traffi~1 and the
contraot prioe shall include the oost of plaoting suah olay or
binding material.
Gravel will be measured in place.
The Contra.ctor shall a.soertain: for himself, as to the looali ty
from which aochpta'ble surfa.oing ma.teria.l oa.m.be obta.ined.

:3. GRA1;)ING. Under this hea.d i8 included. all exoavations a.nd
embankments required for the format10n of the roadbed, the digging;
of drain ditohes a.nd cutting new cha.nnels for streams, either within
or without the right-ot-BY, exca.vations 01' embl.nk.menta for bridges
~nd eulverts and the grading of intersecting highways and private
roads, a.ndgrading new a.pproachea when ordered by the engineer.
The material required for the fornation of embankment not formed
froll the excavation ta.ken from the regulAr sections of the rOSodbed
19'111 be obtained.. from the aide ditches as shown on the profile or aa
staked by the Engineer and trom excavations outside of the roadbed
known a.s borrow pits.
The side ditches sha.ll conform to the a.kee set by the Engineer.
Should it be necessary a.t any pla.ce to go below the level of the
ground water in exoa.vation, such excavated ~teria.l w111 be included
under the hea.ds of exoa.va.tion or emba.nkment and no a.ddition_a.l com-
pensation will be made for wet exca.vation or for euch material placed
in ..banltment.

Grading will be .e&.ured in excav~tion. If the roadbed exo&vt1on
of regular seotions does not furnish sufficient materia.l tor forming
the em.'ba.nkments, the additional _terial required will be obatlned
by w1d.ening the rO&d.bed. or tram exoa:va. tion. out.ide ot the roa.dbed
known as corrow pits. If a. borrow pit is of necessity so irregula.r
in .hape a8 to ~ke an ..ourate measurement imposa1b16, the tattled
embankment formed from such borrow pit may be taken a.s the mea.sur.
ot the exoa.vation in the borrow pit.
Sid. slopes sha.llbe ma4e as staked. by the engineer. In ca.se
slopee ahall slide into the exoavation during tbe progresl of the
work, tIle slide material sha.ll be removed a.t contraot p ricea per
cubio yard for extra work. Overbreaks due to blasting will be removed
by the Contractor at his own expense.
The surf&ce of the roadbed ahall conform strictly to the final
grades set by the engineer, and shall be composed of the best material
obtainable from the exoavation. No boulders shall be left protruding
from the surfao$ and all stones of gr~ter diameter than t.o inches
shall bs removed from the entire surfaoe of the roa4bed.
The ~teria18 oomposing the embankmont must be entirely im-
perishable, a.nd wherever the natural surfa.ce upon which the em.bank-
ment i8 to be plaoed is of suoh a natureae, in the opinion of the
engineer, would impair the ata.billty or us.tulness of the surface,
1t aha.l1 'be removed to such widtb a.nd depth a.s the engineer .,
d1reot, and the material. so removed, disposed of as ordered.

Whenever the site of an embankment is oovered with anO"" suffioiently
deep to impair the u.tility of the work, the same must be removed a.nd.
deposited. beyond the alope stakes. Work: of this nature sha.ll alw$.Ys
be at least one hundred. (lOO) feet in a.dva.noe of the embankment. In
&11 cases wherever the engineer may deem such a. .our.. neoeseary, the
outtings sha.ll bemad.e below gra.de, a.nd olean san~, gravel, or other
_to1'1a.l deemed proper for a. road.bed, sh/il.ll be prooured by tlle contraot-
or ~nd deposited a.s the engineer may direct, a.nd suoh ~ork ah&ll be
eati_tad a.nd paid for at the sam. price per cubic yard as other grading.
All exoa.vations sba.ll, if'required,be ta.ken or ha.uled into the
nea.rest embankment to the extreme distance required by the Engineer.
!he surplus beyond wha.t 1s necessa.ry to form the oontiguous embankments,
is to be disposed of in widening the embankments uniformly along one or
both s1des of the same, or 1s tooe deposited in waste ba.nks or other-
1I'1ee, or 1s to be hauled to form a.ny emba.nkment on the road. to be
improved, as tlle engineer .y direct. In cases where the quantity of
material taken from the reqular cuttings ehall not be sufficient to
form the req,uielte embankment, the defioienoy shall be supplied by
taking materi~l from out~1nge within Q1'without the right-ot-way, at
suoh plaoes as the Engineer may direot, or from a.n enlargement of
the regular cuttings, made equally or uniformly on one or both sides
of the same, and the sides of the exoa."s.tion in all oases sh&ll be
dr..eed to suoh slope as the Engineer my require, provided that if
the oontractor .... sha.ll have 81 oped suoh exoa.va.tion by direotion
of the Engineer oefore widening the same, he shall receive for eloping
the seoond time such aompgens~tion as the engineer may deem fair and.
reasonable.
