roller weighing not less than 5 nor more than 10 tons. Portions of the
subgrade inaccessible to the roller shall be wetted and tamped solidly
with a hand tamp weighing not less than twenty (20) pounds and having a

Rolling shall continue until the subgrade is uniformly compacted
and brought to a true shape. Where the soil in the roadway consists of
sand or sandy soil incapable of compaction by rolling or tamping, said
compaction shall be accomplished by thoroughly flooding the subgrade.
After being prepared in the above manner the subgrade shall be so main-
tained until the pavement has been placed thereon. No base course or
curb shall be placed until the subgrade has been approved by the Engineer.
CHECKING AND ACCEPTANCE: Immediately before the pavement is laid,
the subgrade shall be checked by means of an approved template, shaped
on the under side to conform to the lower surface of the finished pave-
ment, or by a method of testing approved by the Board of Local Improve-
ments. All high places shall be removed to true grade and any low places
filled with sandy soil and rolled or hand tamped until smooth and firm.
The subgrade shall be checked and completed in accordance with these re-
quirements, for a distance of not less than one hundred (100) feet in
advance of the pavement. If hauling over the subgrade after it has been
finished and checked as specified results in ruts or other such objection-
able irregularities, the contractor shall reroll or hand tamp the sub -
grade and place it in smooth and satisfactory condition before the pave-
ment is deposited upon it. If the condition of the subgrade is such that
it cannot be placed in satisfactory condition to receive the pavement,
paving shall be stopped by the Engineer unless the contractor provides
and hauls over suitable trackways or uses other means for the protection
and maintenance of the subgrade. The cost of subgrade preparation and
all excavation and replacement required by these specifications shall be
included in the unit price bid for Special Excavation.
SE14ER CONNECTIONS: All existing connections to the present sewer
shall be protected against damage during the construction of this proposed
improvement. Any connections damaged shall be repaired immediately by
the Contractor at his own expense.

ment is complete. It shall be used for backfilling trenches, between
new retaining walls and existing foundation walls, building foundations,
water main excavations and any other cavity which may occur in the area
of this improvement or where the inner edge of a trench is within two
feet of the edge of this improvement.

sides of each roadway herein provided to be improved there shall be con-
structed a Concrete Curb or Combination Concrete Curb and Gutter. Said
curb or curb and gutter shall be built on the rolled or prepared sub -

Section 80 of the "Standard Specifications" insofar as the same may
apply.

face course in the case of single course construction, unless otherwise
directed by the Engineer.
