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
