satisfaction of Owner and from time to time deliver the same to such person or

persons as Owner may from time to time authorize or appoint to receive the same.

D.1.7 CLASSIFICATION

Signature of Bidder Page 32 of

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

D.1.7.1 All materials to be excavated shall be classified by Engineer, into one of the

following classes and shall be paid for at the rate tendered for that particular class

of material. No distinction shall be made whether the material is dry, moist or wet.

The decision of Engineer regarding the classification of the material shall be final

and binding on Contractor and not be a subject matter of any appeal or arbitration.

D.1.7.2 Any earthwork will be classified under any of the following categories:

D.1.7.2.1 Ordinary and Hard Soils

These shall include all kinds of solid containing kankar, sand, silt, moorum and / or

shingle, gravel, clay, loam, peat, ash, shale etc. which can generally be excavated by

spade, pick axes and shovel, and which is not classified under “soft and

decomposed rock” and “hard rock” defined below. This shall also include

embedded rock bounders not longer than 1 meter in any one direction and not

more than 200 mm in any one of the other two directions.

D.1.7.2.2 Soft and Decomposed Rock

This shall include rock, bounders, slag, chalk, state, hard micaschist, laetrile and all

other materials which in the opinion of Engineer is rock, but does not need blasting

and could be removed with picks, hammer, crow bars, wedges, and pneumatic

breaking equipment. The mere fact that Contractor resorts to blasting for reasons

of his own, shall not qualify for classification under ‘hard rock’.

This shall also include excavation in macadam and tarred road and pavements. This

shall also include rock boulders not longer than 1 meter in any direction and not

more than 500 mm in any one of the other two directions. Masonry to be

dismantled will also be measured under this item.

D.1.7.2.3 Hard Rock

This shall include all rock occurring in large continues masses which cannot be

removed except by blasting for loosening it. Harder varieties of rock with or

without veins and secondary minerals which, in the opinion of Engineer require

blasting shall be considered as hard rock. Bounders of rock occurring in such sizes

and not classified under (a) and (b) above shall also be classified as hard rock.

Concrete work both reinforced and unreinforced to be dismantled will be

measured under this item, unless a separate provision is made in the Schedule of

Signature of Bidder Page 33 of

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

D.1.8 EXCAVATION

D.1.8.1 All excavation work shall be carried out by mechanical equipment’s unless,

in the opinion of Engineer, the work involved and time schedule permit

D.1.8.2 Excavation for permanent work shall be taken out of such widths, lengths, depths

and profiles as are shown on the drawings or such other lines and grades as may be

specified by Engineer. Rough excavation shall be carried out to a depth 150 mm

above the final level. The balance shall be excavated with special care. Soft

pockets shall be removed ever below the final level and extra excavation filled up a

directed by Engineer. The final excavation if so instructed by Engineer, should be

carried out just prior to laying the mud-mat.

D.1.8.3 Contractor may, for facility of work or similar other reasons, excavate, and also

backfill later, if so approved by Engineer, at his own cost outside the lines shown on

the drawings or directed by Engineer. Should any excavation be taken below the

specified elevations, Contractor shall fill it up, with concrete of the same class as in

the foundation resting thereon, upto the required elevation. No extra shall be

claimed by Contractor on this account.

D.1.8.4 All excavation shall be done to the minimum dimensions as required for safety and

working facility. Prior approval of Engineer shall be obtained by Contractor in each

individual case, for the method he proposes to adopt for the excavation, including

dimensions, side slopes, dewatering, disposal etc. This approval, however, shall not

in any way relieve Contractor of his responsibility for any consequent loss or

damage. The excavation must be carried out in the most expeditious and efficient

manner. Side slopes shall be as steep as will stand safely for the actual soil

conditions encountered. Every precaution shall be taken to prevent slips. Should

slips occur, the slipped material shall be removed and the slope dressed to a

modified stable slope. Removal of the slipped earth will not be paid for if the slips

are due to the negligence of Contractor.

D.1.8.5 Excavation shall be carried out with such tools, tackles and equipment as described

hereinbefore. Blasting or other methods may be resorted to in the case of hard

rock; however not without the specific permission of Engineer.

D.1.8.6 Engineer may also direct that in some extreme case, the rock may be excavated by

heating and sudden quenching for splitting the rock. Fire-wood shall be used for

burning and payment shall be made for such work as called for in the schedule of

Signature of Bidder Page 34 of

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

D.1.9 STRIPPING LOOSE ROCK

D.1.9.1 All loose boulders, semi detached rocks (along with earthy stuff which might

move therewith) not directly in the excavation but so close to the area to be

excavated as to be liable, in the opinion of Engineer, to fall or otherwise

endanger the workmen, equipment, or the work, etc. shall be stripped off and

removed away from the area of the excavation. The method used shall be

such as not to shatter, or render unstable or unsafe the portion which was

originally sound and safe.

D.1.9.2 Any material not requiring removal as contemplated in the work, but which, in the

opinion of Engineer, is likely to become loose or unstable later, shall also be

promptly and satisfactorily removed as directed by Engineer. The cost of such

stripping will be paid for at the unit rates accepted for the class of materials in

D.1.10 FILL, BACK FILLING AND SITE GRADING

D.1.10.1 General

D.1.10.1.1 All fill material will be subject to Engineer’s approval. If any material is rejected by

Engineer, contractor shall remove the same forthwith from the site at no extra cost

to the owner. Surplus fill material shall be deposited / disposed off as directed by

Engineer after the fill work is completed upto a distance of 5 Km.

D.1.10.1.2 No earth fill shall commence until surface water discharges and streams have been

properly intercepted or otherwise dealt with as directed by Engineer.

D.1.10.2 Material

D.1.10.2.1 To the extent available, selected surplus soils from excavated materials shall

be used as backfill. Fill material shall be free from clods, salts, sulphates,

organic or other foreign material. All clods of earth shall be broken or

removed. Where excavated material is mostly rock, the bounders shall be

broken into pieces not larger than 150 mm size, mixed with properly graded

fine material consisting of murrum or earth fill up the voids and the mixture

used for filling.

D.1.10.3 If any selected fill material is required to be borrowed, Contractor shall make

arrangements for bringing such material from outside borrow pits. The material

and source shall be subject to prior approval of Engineer. The approved borrow pit

area shall be cleared of all bushed, roots of trees, plants, rubbish etc, top soil

containing salts / sulphate and other foreign material shall be removed. The

materials so removed shall be burnt or disposed off as directed by Engineer.

Contractor shall make necessary access to borrow areas and maintain the same, if

such access road does not exist, at his cost.

D.1.10.4 Filling in pits and trenches around foundations of structures, walls etc.

Signature of Bidder Page 35 of

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation

D.1.10.4.1 As soon as the work in foundations has been accepted and measured, the spaces

around the foundations, structures, pits, trenches etc. shall be cleaned of all

debris, and filled with earth in layers not exceeding 20 cm, each layer being

watered, rammed and properly consolidated, before the succeeding one is laid.

Each layer shall be consolidated to the satisfaction of Engineer. Earth shall be

rammed with approved mechanical compaction machines if instructed. Usually

no manual compaction shall be allowed unless Engineer is satisfied that in some

cases manual compaction by tampers cannot be avoided. The final backfill

surface shall be trimmed and levelled to proper profile as directed by Engineer or

indicated on the drawing.

D.1.10.5 Plinth filling

D.1.10.5.1 Plinth filling shall be carried out with approved material as described herein before

in layers not exceeding 20 cm, watered and compacted with mechanical

compaction machines. If required engineer may however permit manual

compaction by hand tampers in case he is satisfied that mechanical compaction is

not possible. When filling reaches the finished level, the surface shall be flooded

with water, unless otherwise directed for atleast 24 hours, allowed to dry and then

the surface again compacted as specified above settlements at a later stage. The

finished level of the filling shall be trimmed to the level / slope specified.

D.1.10.5.2 Where specified in the schedule of works, compaction of the plinth fill shall be

carried out by roller in case of compaction of granular materials such as stands and

gravel, vibratory rollers shall be used. A smaller weight roller may be used only if

permitted by Engineer. As rolling proceeds water sprinkling shall be done to assist

consolidation. Water shall not be sprinkled in case of sandy fill.

D.1.10.5.3 The thickness of each unconsolidated fill layer can in this case be upto a maximum

of 200 mm. Engineer will determine the thickness of the layers in which fill has to

be consolidated depending on the fill material and equipment used. Rolling shall

commence from the outer edge and progress towards the centre and continue

until compaction is to the satisfaction of Engineer, but in no case less than

passes of the roller will be accepted for each layer. The compacted surface shall be

properly shaped, trimmed and consolidated to an even and uniform gradient. All

soft spots shall be excavated and filled and consolidated. At some locations / areas

if may not be possible to use rollers because of space restrictions etc. Contractor

shall then be permitted to use pneumatic tampers, rammers etc. and he shall

ensure proper compaction.
