IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SURETY BOND CUSTOMERS REGARDING

As a surety bond customer of one of the SAFECO insurance cmpanies (SAFECO Insurance Company of
America, General Insurance Company of America, First National kurance Company of America, American
States Insurance Company or American Economy lnsurance Company), it is our duty to notify you that the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 extends to ''surety insurae'. This means that under certain circum-
stances we may be eligible for reimbursement of certain surety bond losses by the United States government
under a formula established by this Act.
-
Under this formula, the United States government pays 90% of losses caused by certifed acts of terrorism that
exceed a statutorily established deductible to be paid by the iwance company providing the bond. The AC~
also establishes a $1 06 billion cap for the total of all losses to be paid by all insurers for certified acts of
terrorism. Losses on some or all of your bonds may be subject to this cap.
This notice does not modify any of the existing terms and condrbons of this bond, the underlying agreement
guaranteed by this bond, any statutes governing the terms of VUS bond or any generally applicable rules of law.
At this time there is no premium change resulting from this Adi.

may be so designated by the Engineer are not included in computing the percentage of work

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors
EDGE Development, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of EDGE Development, Inc. as of December 31,
2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
_-
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of EDGE Development, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. The supplementary information shown on pages 14 through 22 is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in
our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company is engaged in the construction of institutional, industrial, and commercial buildings in
Southern and Northern California. The work is performed under fixed-price, time and materials and
design and build contracts. The contracts generally provide for progress payments as stages of the
work are completed. The Company also manages, for a fee, construction projects of others.
f
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Management also determines the accounting principles to be used in the preparation of
the financial statements. A description of the significant accounting policies employed in the
preparation of these financial statements follows:
Recognition of Revenue on Contracts
The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the percentage-of-completion method, which
takes into account the revenue earned to date on fixed-price and design and build construction contracts.
The amount considered as revenue earned under this method is that portion of the total contract price
that the costs incurred to date bear to the anticipated total costs, based on current estimates of costs to
complete the project. Because of uncertainties involved in estimating these future costs, it is at least
reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the next year, and the change could be
significant. Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred
during the period, plus a percentage for overhead and profit. Revenues earned under some construction
management agreements is the portion that elapsed time bears to the total estimated time to complete
the project and on others on the basis of the project's completion percentage which is the portion of
costs incurred to date by contractors performing on the project bear to the anticipated total costs.
Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in estimated profitability are recognized in the period in which the revisions are
known.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances with one financial institution in excess of the
FDIC insurance limits. Restricted amounts consisted of deposits in lieu of retentions.
Equipment, Property and Leasehold Improvements
-7-
Equipment, property and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Additions and major
improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are
expensed as incurred.

1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
The stockholders of the Company have elected to be subject to the provisions of Subchapter S of the
Internal Revenue Code and comparable state statutes. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the
stockholders report their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income on their income tax
returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in these financial statements.
State income taxes at the S Corporation tax rate are not significant and are included in operating
expenses.

,- IMPORTANT NOTICE TO SURETY BOND CUSTOMERS REGARDING
THE TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002
As a surety bond customer of one of the SAFECO insurance companies (SAFECO Insurance Company of
America, General Insurance Company of America, First National Insurance Company of America, American
States Insurance Company or American Economy Insurance Company), it is our duty to notify you that the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 extends to "surety insurance". This means that under certain circum-
stances we may be eligible for reimbursement of certain surety bond losses by the United States government
under a formula established by this Act.
Under this formula, the United States government pays 90% of losses caused by certified acts of terrorism that
exceed a statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the bond. The Act
also establishes a $106 billion cap for the total of all losses to be paid by all insurers for certified acts of
terrorism. Losses on some or all of your bonds may be subject to this cap.
This notice does not modify any of the existing terms and conditions of this bond, the underlying agreement
guaranteed by this bond, any statutes governing the terms of this bond or any generally applicable rules of law.
At this time there is no premium change resulting from this Act.

fied. Compact each loose lift as specified in paragraph "General Compaction" before
placing the next lift. Do not backfill where the material in the trench is muddy, except as
authorized. Where settlements greater than the tolerance allowed herein for grading occur
in trenches and pits due to improper compaction, excavate to the depth necessary to rectify
the problem, then backfill and compact the excavation as specified herein and restore the
surface to the required elevation. Coordinate backfilling with testing of utilities. Complete all
testing for utilities before backfilling.
GENERAL COMPACTION
Use hand-operated, plate-type, vibratory, or other suitable hand tampers in areas not accessible to larger rollers or compactors. Avoid damaging pipes and protective pipe coatings. Compact material in accordance with the following unless otherwise specified. If
necessary, alter, change, or modify selected equipment or compaction methods to meet
specified compaction requirements.

Concrete Pavements” for asphalt concrete pavement specifications.
3.08 SOIL TESTING
The geotechnical engineer shall make random field density tests of the compacted soil to provide a basis for expressing an opinion as to whether the fill material is compacted as
specified. The basis for his opinion that the fill material has been compacted to at feast the minimum relative compaction specified shall be that no tests in compacted or recompacted
fill areas indicate a relative compaction of less than that specified. Density tests hall be
made in the compacted materials below any disturbed surface. When these tests indicate
that the density of any layer of fill or portion thereof is below that specified, the particular
layer or areas represented by the test shall be reworked until the specified density has been
achieved .

which are well graded reduce porosity, and may require reduction of cementitous con-
tent to meet void specifications. Note that reductions of percent voids and cementitious
contents below the minimums of paragraph 107 require written approval of the Engineer
and Resident Engineer‘s Representative.
E. Admixtures: Admixtures shall conform to ASTM C 494
Type A Water Reducing Admixtures
Type B Set Retarding
Type D Water Reducing and Set Retarding
A hydration stabilizer may be utilized in warmer weather and for longer transport times.
The admixture shall also meet the requirements of ASTM C 494 Types B or D.
F. Water: Potable or shall comply with conventional good concrete practice.
G. Reinforcement: If used, reinforcement shall be fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). Such
reinforcing bar may be used to tie adjacent pavement lanes together and shall be placed
as detailed on the design drawings. FRP rebar shall be of at least one-half inch diame-
ter. Steel or epoxy-coated steel shall not be used due to the exposure to moisture ex-
perienced in pervious concrete.
A. Cement Content: For pavement subject to vehicular traffic loading, the total cementi-
tious content shall not be less than 630 pounds per cubic yard.
B. Aggregate Content: The volume of aggregate per cubic yard shall be equal to 27’cubic
feet when calculated as a function of the unit weight determined in accordance with
ASTM C29 jigging procedure.
C. Admixtures: Shall be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
D. Mix Water: Mix water shall be such that the cement paste displays a wet metallic sheen
without causing the paste to flow from the aggregate. (Mix water yielding a cement
paste with a dull-dry appearance has insufficient water for hydration).
a. Insufficient water results in inconsistency in the mix and poor bond strength.
b. High water content results in the paste sealing the void system primarily at the
bottom and provides a poor surface bond.

PART 3 EXECUTION
SUBGRADE PREPARATION AND FORM-WORK
A. Subgrade Material: The top 6 inches shall be composed of W aggregate base conform-
ing to Section 02233 of this site work specification. Granular subbase may be placed
over 12 inches of subgrade compacted to 95% maximum relative density.
8. Subgrade Permeability: Subgrade shall have a reasonable level of permeability. One
suggested test for subgrade permeability is double ring infiltrometer.
C. Subgrade Support: The subgrade shall be compacted by a mechanical vibratory com-
pactor to 95% of a maximum dry density as established by ASTM D1557 or AASHTO
T180. Subgrade stabilization shall not be permitted.
If fill material (embankment) is required to bring the subgrade to final elevation, it shall
be clean and free of deleterious materials. It shall be placed in 8-inch maximum layers,
and compacted by a mechanical vibratory compactor to a minimum density of 95% of a
dry density as established by ASTM Dl557 or AASHTO T180.
D. Subgrade Moisture: The subgrade shall be in a moist condition (within +/- 3% of the
optimum moisture content as determined by the modified compaction test ASTM D1557
or AASHTO T180).
E. Forms: Forms may be of wood or steel and shall be the depth of the pavement. Forms
shall be of sufficient strength and stability to support mechanical equipment without de-
formation of plan profiles following spreading, strike-off and compaction operations.
Forms shall have a removable spacer of Y‘” to 3/4” thickness placed above the depth of
pavement. The spacers are removed following placement and vibratory strike-off to al-
low roller compaction. Forms shall allow for tie-in to adjacent concrete via the use of fi-
berglass reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcing bar if so detailed.
MIXING, HAULING AND PLACING
A. Mix Time: Truck mixers shall be operated at the speed designated as mixing speed by
the manufacturer for 75 to 100 revolutions of the drum.
B. Transportation: The Portland cement aggregate mixture may be transported or mixed
on site and shall be used within one (1) hour of the introduction of mix water, unless oth-
erwise approved by an engineer. This time can be increased when utilizing the hydra-
tion stabilizer specified in section 205.
C. Discharge: Each mixer will be inspected for appearance of concrete uniformity. Water
may be added to obtain the required mix consistency. A minimum of 20 revolutions at
the manufacturer’s designated mixing speed shall be required following the addition of
any water to the mix. Discharge shall be a continuous operation and shall be completed
as quickly as possible. Concrete shall be deposited as close to its final position as prac-
ticable and such that fresh concrete enters the mass of previously placed concrete.
D. Placing and Finishing: Unless otherwise approved by the Resident Engineer or Engi-
neer in writing, the Contractor shall provide mechanical equipment of either slipform or
form riding with a following compactive unit that will provide a minimum of 10-psi vertical
e* r.# Revised 10/08/03 Contract No. 38022 Page 148 of 321 Pages
force. The pervious concrete pavement will be placed to the required cross-section and
shall not deviate more than +/- 3/8 inch in 10 feet from profile grade.
Normal placement procedures involve utilizing a mechanical vibratory screed to strike off
the concrete 1/2” to 3/4” above final height, utilizing the form spacers described in section
405. Following strike-off, the spacers are removed, and the concrete compacted to form
level utilizing a steel roller made from nominal 10” diameter steel pipe. Care shall be
taken during compaction that full compactive force is achieved without working the con-
crete surface enough to seal off the surface porosity. Any apparent defects in the sur-
face can be remedied by placing fresh concrete into any depressions and compacting
using a hand tamper.
Hand tampers shall be used to compact the concrete along the slab edges immediately .
adjacent to the forms.
After roller compacting and defect inspection/fixing, no further finishing except the rolling
of joints is performed on the concrete. The surface shall be immediately and continu-
ously misted or fogged (see section 505) until curing material is applied.
E. Curing: Curing procedures shall begin within 20 minutes after final placement opera-
tions. The pavement surface shall be covered with a minimum of six (6) mil thick poly-
ethylene sheet or other approved covering material. Prior to covering, a fog or light mist
shall be sprayed above the surface when required due to ambient conditions (tempera-
ture, wind and humidity). The low waterkement ratio and high amount of exposed sur-
face of pervious concrete makes its especially susceptible to drying. The cover shall
overlap all exposed edges and shall be secured (without using dirt or stone) to prevent
dislocation due to winds or adjacent traffic conditions.
The surface shall remain covered for the following periods:
1. Portland Cement Type I, II or IS - 7 days minimum
2. Portland Cement Type I or I1 with Class F Flyash (as part of the total cementitious) or
Type IP - 10 days minimum
3. No truck traffic shall be allowed for 10 days (no passenger cadlight trucks for 7days).
If approved by the Resident Engineer and Engineer, portions of the cure time after 48 hours can
be met by continuously misting an uncovered surface that is subjected to only light vehicular
traffic.
F. Jointing: Control (contraction) joints shall be installed at regular intervals not to exceed
40 feet, or two times the width of the placement. They shall be installed at a depth of 1-
1/2” or ?A the concrete thickness for thicknesses greater than 8. These joints can be
installed in the plastic concrete or saw cut. Joints installed in the plastic concrete are
generally rolled in utilizing a “salt roller” to which a beveled fin has been welded around
the circumference. Plastic joints are formed immediately after roller compaction and
immediately prior to curing.
If joints are saw cut, the procedure shall begin as soon as the pavement has hardened sufficiently
to prevent raveling and uncontrolled cracking (normally after 24 hours, so curing cover must be
removed and surface re-misted and recovered after joint sawing). Transverse construction joints
shall be installed whenever placing is suspended for a sufficient length of time that concrete may
begin to harden. Isolation (expansion) joints will not be used except when pavement is abutting
slabs or other adjoining structures.

4. Sodium hypochlorite solution may also be used to increase the total chlorine residual if the concentration from the initial chlorination of the system is found to be low. The solution shall be added to the system in sufficient amounts at appropriate locations to ensure that the disinfecting solution is present at a concentration within the specified range throughout the piping system.
PROCEDURE FOR DISINFECTING WATER MAINS AND APPURTENANCES
The pipeline shall be filled at a rate not to exceed 1 ,135 liters per minute (300 GPM) or a velocity of 0.3m per second (1 foot per second), whichever is less.
Disinfection shall result in a total chlorine concentration of not less than 25-mg/l.
This concentration shall be evenly distributed throughout the system to be disinfected, using
a continuous feed method of chlorination.
All valves shall be operated with the disinfection solution present in the pipeline. All
appurtenances such as air-vacuum relief valves, blowoffs, hydrants, backflow prevention
devices, and water service laterals shall be flushed with the treated water a sufficient length
of time to ensure a chlorine concentration within the specified range in all components of
each appurtenance. (Note the limitations for discharge of chlorinated water outlined below.)
The Engineer will verify the presence of the disinfection solution throughout the system by
sampling and testing for acceptable chlorine concentrations at the various appurtenances
and/or at the test ports provided by the Contractor. Areas of the system found to be below
the specified chlorine concentration level shall receive additional flushing as noted above
and/or additional disinfection solution as necessary. (Note the limitations for discharge of
chlorinated water outlined below.) Addition of disinfection solution after the initial charging of
the line shall be made by either the liquid chlorine (gas) method, or the sodium hypochlorite
method as directed by the Engineer.
The chlorinated water shall be retained in the system for a minimum of 24 hours. The District
Engineer will test the total chlorine residual. The system shall contain a total chlorine resid-
ual of not less than 80% of the initial total chlorine residual before the 24-hour soaking period
began. If the total chlorine residual has decreased more than 20%, the system shall be
soaked for an additional 24-hour period. If the total chlorine residual has not deceased after this additional 24-hour period, the system shall be flushed in accordance with the procedure detailed herein. If the total chlorine residual has decreased, the system shall be flushed in accordance with the procedure detailed herein, and shall be re-disinfected.
Following a successful retention period as determined by the District Engineer, the
chlorinated water shall be flushed from the system at its extremities and at each appurte- nance, using potable water from a source designated by the District Engineer. The minimum water velocity during flushing shall be 0.9 meters per second (3 feet per second) or as
directed by the Engineer. Flushing shall continue until the replacement water in the new system is equal in chlorine residual to the potable source of supply as verified by the District.
(Note the limitations for discharge of chlorinated water outlined below.)
The Contractor shall contract with a State certified sampling laboratory to perform sampling,
transport samples and perform bacteriological sampling and testing as specified herein.
DISCHARGE OF CHLORINATED WATER
Indiscriminate onsite disposal or discharge, to sewer systems, storm drains, drainage
courses or surface waters of chlorinated water is prohibited.

In locations where chlorine neutralization is required, the reducing agent shall be applied to
the water as it exits the piping system. The Developer shall monitor the chlorine residual during the discharge operations. Total residual chlorine limits in these locations, and for the
discharge of chlorinated water from the testing of pipelines to surface waters of the San
Diego Region are as follows:
Total Residual Chlorine Effluent Limitations 30-Day Average - 0.002 mg/l Average Daily Maximum - 0.008 mg/l instantaneous Maximum - 0.02 mg/l
The various methods of dechlorination available can remove residual chlorine to concentra-
tions below standard analytical methods of detection, 0.02 mgh, which will assure compli-
ance with the effluent limit. The Developer will perform all necessary tests, keeping and
providing records to the Engineer to ensure that the total residual chlorine effluent limitations
listed above are met.
In locations where no hazard to the environment is evident based on the joint examination described above, the chlorinated water may be broadcast for dust control on the surface of the immediate site. Care shall be exercised in broadcasting the water to prevent runoff.
BACTERIOLOGICAL TESTING
The Contractor shall employ a State certified laboratory to perform bacteriological sampling
and testing of all new system installations. The testing methodology employed by the District
shall be as set forth in "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water''
(current edition). Testing requirements are as set forth in the California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring Regulations and commensurate with current requirements for surface water testing. The testing laboratory will analyze the samples for the presence of coliform bacteria and heterotrophic-type bacteria (heterotrophic plate count). The evaluation criteria employed by the District for a passing test sample is as follows:
Coliform bacteria: no positive sample, and
Heterotrophic plate count (HPC): 500 colony forming units/ml or less.
REDISINFECTION
If the initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory bacteriological test results, the pipeline
system shall be re-flushed and re-sampled. If the second set of samples does not produce
satisfactory results, the pipeline system shall be re-chlorinated, flushed, and re-stamped. The
chlorination, flushing, and sampling procedure shall continue until satisfactory results are
obtained. Re-disinfection and retesting shall be at the Contractor's expense.
DISINFECTING TIE-INS AND CONNECTIONS
Pipes, fittings, valves and all other components incorporated into connections with the
District's existing system shall be spray disinfected or swabbed with a liquid chlorine solution
in accordance with AWWA C651 and as specified herein. Upon connection to the main, the line shall be flushed as directed by the District Engineer. Disinfection by this method is generally limited to assemblies of 6m (20') or less in length. Alternate methods such as
"predisinfection" prior to installation in accordance with AWWA C651 may be required at the discretion of the District Engineer.

EXCAVATION
A single benchmark shall be established prior to any excavation and maintained by a
licensed surveyor of record during the entire construction process. The site shall be exca-
vated to subgrade depth as indicated on the Plans and specified in the Standard Specifica-
tions for Public Works Construction ("Green Book").
In the event of over-excavation, select-fill material shall be used to achieve design subgrade
elevations. Select materials shall be as specified in Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction ("Green Book").
Proof roll and mark "soft spots" for additional compaction or correction. Use static tandem
drum-type roller of not less than five (5) tons weight. Proof rolling operations shall be per-
formed in the presence of a Geotechnical Engineer.
Excavate perimeter drainage collector trenches as shown on the Plans. The trenches shall
be excavated with a minimum of 0.5% slope starting from the low point of the drainage
system at the outlet extending toward the high point(s). Design of the collector trenches
shall incorporate the following:
1.
2.
All loose debris shall be removed from the trenches. The trenches shall be backfilled using base materials specified in this Section.
UNDER DRAIN SYSTEM
Membrane: Verify subgrade elevations of the finished subgrade. The elevations shall
conform to the elevations shown on Drawings.
Prior to under drain system construction, the subgrade surface shall be uniform and free of
rocks, depressions, voids, and irregularities.
Perimeter Collector Drains: Install perforated pipe in the perimeter collector trenches. The centerline of the pipe shall coincide with the centerline of trench. The pipes shall be strong
and capable of withstanding the anticipated loading without deformation.
1. A minimum of 2 clean, drainable crushed stone aggregate shall be placed in the
bottom of collector trenches, on top of the membrane. The crushed stone should be
compacted suitably. Place a minimum of 4" clean, crushed aggregate on top of the pipe network. Compact
suitably.
2.
AGGREGATE LAYER
Install the permeable base over the entire subbase and the composite drain system. The
aggregate shall comprise of a minimum 8" compacted, stable, permeable, processed stone.
Care shall be taken to maintain the grade designed for the subbase. The capability of the
processed stone drainage layer to meet the stability and permeability requirement shall be
determined by a certified laboratory prior to construction of the course. The processed
stone layer shall be compacted to a minimum density of 90%. Nuclear density tests shall be
performed during aggregate placement and rolling to ensure specified compaction.
4m
fr#Revised 10/08/03 Contract No. 38022 Page 305 of 321 Pages
3.04 PROPERTIES AND INSTALLATION OF PERMEABLE STONE
A. Deliverv Moisture Content: Processed stone shall contain 90% to 110% of the optimum
moisture content to ensure that fines do not migrate in transit or during placement and to
facilitate proper compaction. This is critical. The contractor shall ensure that aggregate
leaving the source plant meet this requirement. The contractor is required to apply water to
the processed stone on site to attain and maintain this minimum moisture content. Stone
base materials shall be 100% crushed.
B. Handlina and Placement:
1.
2.
Prior to aggregate placement, remove any excess or contaminated backfill from the
drainage trenches.
Should any separation of the materials occur, during any stage of the spreading or
stockpiling, the Contractor shall immediately remove and dispose of segregated mate-
rial and correct or change handling procedures to prevent any further separation. Dou-
ble handling of materials shall not be allowed.
The Contractor shall utilize laser control equipment for the grading of the processed
stone to ensure accuracy in the grade tolerances of +O" to -1/4".
Install processed stone base, from sideline toward center-line, parallel to the composite
drain network, to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Under no circumstance
shall the material be pushed more than 30' from the point of discharge.
The Contractor shall shape the complete surface of the processed stone to receive the
elastic layer component and continue until the deviation from the required elevation
does not exceed a maximum deviation from grade of +O" to -1/4" in ten feet (lo'), when
measured in any direction using a 10' straight-edge.
Each layer shall be spread uniformly with equipment that will not cause perceptible
separation in gradation (segregation of the aggregates), preferably a self-propelled pav-
ing machine or small laser controlled low ground pressure (LPG) dozer.
3.
4.
5.
6.
C. Compaction and Planarity:
1. The processed stone shall be compacted to a minimum density of not less than 95% of
maximum density as determined by ASTM D698 and measured using a nuclear
method.
Proof roll wherever possible and mark "soft spots" for additional compaction or correc-
tion. Use static tandem drum-type roller of not less than five (5) tons weight. Proof roll-
ing operations shall be preformed in the presence of a Geotechnical Engineer.
The finished surface shall not deviate (tolerance-to-grade) from designated compacted
grade. This means that the surface shall not deviate more than 1/4" in 10' (any direc-
tion) when placed under a 10 foot straight edge. This tolerance is required over the en-
tire field.
2.
3.
D. Areas that deviate shall be marked with spray paint and corrected with Vi'' to 3/8 crushed
stone or granite chips (limestone will not be acceptable) and rolled tight to achieve proper
density. Such remedial actions shall be done by hand and rechecked by means of test
procedures described above.
E. Testinq:
1. The surface of the processed stone course shall be well drained at all times. No
standing water shall be permitted at any time. The permeability of the aggregate shall
4w

be checked per Din 8035 Part 7, ASTM 2434 (constant head), or ASTM D3385 (double-
ring) testing methods. Test samples shall be taken (at a minimum of) one sample per
every 5,000 square feet or as otherwise directed by the Owner's Representative.
All test results will be logged and documented by the Owner's Technical Representative
or Geotechnical Engineer. If at any time the processed stone base does not meet
specifications, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to restore, at his expense, the
processed stone base to the required grade, cross-section and density.
After the contractor has independently confirmed compliance with all the above toler-
ances (planarity and elevation verified by a licensed surveyor and compaction, grada-
tion, & permeability verified by Geotechnical Engineer), he shall notify the appropriate
party and schedule a final inspection for approval. The contractor shall make available
an orbital laser system to the Inspection Team for the inspection process.

dear resident:
As a part of the City of Carlsbad’s ongoing program to maintain it: streets, your street will be resurfaced with a layer of asphalt concrete over the existing roadway surface. This construction will require the clos ing of your street to through traffic for one day. Your street, from XYZ St to XYZAve. will be closed to through traffic and resurfaced on:
from 7:OOA.M. to 5:OO P.M.
If you don’t plan to leave your home by 7:OO A.M. on the above date please park your car on an adjacent street in your neighborhood that will not be resurfaced. Streets scheduled for resurfacing can be determined by calling either-the Contracfor or the City of Carlsbad Engineering In-
spection Department. When walking to and from your car, remember no1 to walk on the newly overlaid street or you will have black residue on the bottom of your shoes. Please do not drive, walk on, walk pets, play, or skate on the newly overlaid asphalt. Also, please refrain from watering your lawns, washing cars, etc., approximately 6-8 hours after the asphall is laid as running water will cause damage to the new surface.

and inform the Contractor of the date. If you have any concerns which cannot be addressed by the Contractor, you may call the City’s Engineer- ing Inspection Department at 438-1 161x4323. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to make a better City of Carlsbad.
