SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. PLANS AND WORKING DRAWINGS
The contract plans furnished consist of general drawings and
show such details as are necessary to give a comprehensive
idea of the construction contemplated. All authorized
alterations affecting the requirements and information given
on the contract plans shall be in writing.
The contract plans shall be supplemented by such working
drawings prepared by the Contractor as are necessary to
adequately control the work. No change shall be made by the
Contractor in any working drawing after it has been approved
by the Engineer.
Working drawings for any part of the permanent work shall
include, but not be limited to: stress sheets, anchor bolt
layouts, shop details, erection plans, equipment lists and
any other information specifically required elsewhere in the
specifications.
Working drawings for cribs, cofferdams, false work, temporary
support systems, haul bridges, centering and form work and for other temporary work and methods of construction the
Contractor proposes to use, shall be submitted when required
by the specifications or ordered by the Engineer. Such
working drawings shall be subject to approval insofar as the
details affect the character of the finished work and for
compliance with design requirements applicable to the
construction when specified or called for, but details of
design will be left to the Contractor who shall be
responsible for the successful construction of the work.
Working drawings shall be approved by the Engineer before any
work involving such drawings is performed. It is expressly
understood that approval of the Contractor's working drawings
shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his responsibility
under the contract for the successful completion of the work
in conformity with the requirements of the plans and
specifications. Such approval shall not operate to waive any
of the requirements of the plans and specifications or
relieve the Contractor of any obligation thereunder, and
defective work, materials and equipment may be rejected
notwithstanding such approval.
Full compensation for furnishing all working drawings shall
be considered as included in the prices paid for the contract'
items of work to which such drawings relate and no additional
compensation will be allowed therefor.

checked for coverage prior to planting.
Nursery stakes in plant containers stored at the project, site
shall be removed before transporting the plants to the
planting areas.
Plant locations for trees and shrubs shall be adjusted so
that no plant is closer than 8 feet to an impact or pop-up
type sprinkler.
Where shrubs are shown on the plans to be planted in groups,
the outer rows shall be parallel to the nearest roadway or

specified immediately after the removal from the containers.
Containers shall not be cut prior to delivery of the plants
to the planting area.
Roots of plants not in containers shall be kept moist and
covered at all times, and shall not be exposed to the air
except while actually being placed in the ground.
Before planting in holes or trenches, water shall be applied
to the backfill with a pipe or tube inserted into the bottom
of the hole or trench until the backfill materials is
saturated for the full depth,
Plants shall be set in the backfill material, in flat
bottomed holes, to such depth that, after the soil has
settled, the top of the root ball will be even with the
bottom of the basin or even with the surrounding soils where
there is no basin. Plants shall be planted in such a manner
that the roots will not be restricted or distorted.
Any plants which have settled deeper than specified in the
above paragraph, or as shown on the plans, shall be raised
back to the required level, or replaced, at the option of the
Contractor.
At the time the plants are planted, wood stakes shall be
placed at certain plants and the plants shall be tied
thereto. The plants to be staked shall be as shown on the
plans or specified in the special provisions. Stakes shall
be installed against, but not through, the plant ball to a
minimum depth of 18 inches below the ground, and shall be
placed on the site toward the prevailing wind, unless
otherwise directed by the plans.
Stakes shall be 8 feet long. The stakes shall be either 2-
inch nominal diameter round stakes, or 2" x 2" nominal square
stakes, at the Contractor's option.
The cross-sectional dimensions of 2-inch stakes may be
reduced if the strength and durability of the smaller
dimensioned stake is not less than a corresponding 2-inch
nominal redwood stake as determined by the Engineer. In no
case shall stakes have a cross-section dimension of less than
1 1/4 inches, unless otherwise shown on the plans.

formed twice. Each end of the tie then shall be wrapped one
and one-half turns around the stake and securely tied. Other
materials and methods approved by the Engineer may be used
for ties.

during normal fruiting season of such plants. Plants shall
be in normal healthy condition, free from apparent disease,
injury, or pests. Seeds shall be maintained in a healthy and
viable state until hydroseed application.
Stolens shall be gathered using a vertical cut mower to
produce healthy, viable stoleniferous bodies. Harvesting
shall occur only during normal growing season. Stolens shall
be maintained in a healthy and viable state until hydroseed
application.
Rooted clumps shall be inspected and deemed free of disease,
injury, or pests prior to removal for transplantation

after planting. Water shall be applied until the backfill
soil around and below the roots or ball of earth around the
roots of each plant is thoroughly saturated. Where watering

end of a hose be allowed to fall within the basin around any
plant.
Master remote control valves or gate valves on the discharge
side of the backflow preventers shall be kept closed at all
