B. Stockpile in sufficient quantities to meet project schedule and requirements.
C. Separate differing materials with dividers or stockpile apart to prevent mixing.
D. Direct surface water away from stockpile site so as to prevent erosion or deterioration of

authorized excavations of same classifications, unless otherwise directed by
Geotechnical Engineer.
FOUNDERS HALL SITE 31 00 00- 7
BATHROOM RENOVATIONS EARTHWORK
CORNELL DIVISION 31 EARTHWORK
Ithaca, New York SECTION 31 00 00 SITE EARTH WORK
C. Additional Excavation: When excavation has reached required subgrade elevations,
notify Geotechnical Engineer who will make an inspection of conditions.
1. If unsuitable bearing materials are encountered at required subgrade elevations,
carry excavations deeper and replace excavated material as directed by the
Geotechnical Engineer. Excavation of unsuitable material must extend laterally
beyond the edge of the footing or slab for a distance equal to or greater than the
required depth of the excavation.
2. Removal of unsuitable material and its replacement as directed will be paid on
basis of contract conditions relative to changes in work.
D. Perform excavation with drip line of large trees to remain by hand, and protect the root
sys-tem from damage or dryout to the greatest extent possible. Maintain moist condition
for root system and cover exposed roots with burlap. Paint root cuts of one (1) diameter
and larger with emulsified asphalt tree paint.
E. Rock Excavation:
1. Excavate and remove rock by mechanical method. Utilize hydraulic ramming
equipment to fracture rock.

4. Correct areas of utility trench over-excavated with compacted bedding material.
5. Provide bedding material of the type and depth specified for the utility and in
accordance with the Drawings.
6. Remove all excavated rock material from the site. Dispose of excavated rock
material at a site designated by the Owner.
F. Stability of Excavations: Slope sides of excavations to comply with local codes and
ordinances having jurisdiction. Shore and brace where sloping is not possible because of
space re-strictions or stability of material excavated. Maintain sides and slopes of
excavations in safe condition until completion of backfilling. The employment of a
Professional Engineer (PE), hired by the Contractor, is required to assess and stabilize all
existing conditions prior to demolition.
G. Shoring and Bracing: Provide materials for shoring and bracing, such as sheet piling,
uprights, stringers, and cross braces, in good serviceable condition.
1. Establish requirements for trench shoring and bracing to comply with local codes
and au-thorities having jurisdiction.

Ithaca, New York SECTION 31 00 00 SITE EARTH WORK
H. Dewatering: Prevent surface water and subsurface or ground water from flowing into
excavations and from flooding project site and surrounding area.
1. Do not allow water to accumulate in excavations. Remove water to prevent
softening of foundation bottoms, undercutting footings, and soil changes
detrimental to stability of subgrades and foundations. Provide and maintain
pumps, well points, sumps, suction and discharge lines, and other dewatering
system components necessary to convey water away from excavations. Maintain
water levels below base of excavation to control hydrostatic pressure on subgrade
soils.
2. Establish and maintain temporary drainage ditches and other diversion outside
excava-tion limits to convey rain water and water removed from excavations to
collecting or run-off areas. Do not use trench excavations as temporary drainage
ditches. Provide temporary erosion and sediment control.
3. Do not discharge sediment laden water into the adjoining storm or sanitary sewer
system or open swales. Pump sediment laden water from excavations into a
portable sediment tank or a high-strength, non-woven geotextile fabric bag. Size
portable sediment tanks in accordance with the New York Guidelines for Urban
Erosion and Sediment Control.
I. Material Storage: Stockpile satisfactory excavated materials where directed until required
for backfill or fill. Place, grade and shape stockpiles for proper drainage.
1. Locate and retain soil materials away from edge of excavations. Do not store
within drip line of trees indicated to remain.
2. Dispose of excess soil material and waste materials not re-used.
3.05 OPEN EXCAVATION
A. Excavate topsoil or gravel from areas to be further excavated or re-graded.
B. Stockpile topsoil in area designated on-site to be reused.

H. Pile excavated material in manner that will not endanger the Work and that will avoid ob-
structing drives, temporary ditches or natural water courses, or create erosion or landslide
hazards.
I. Remove all excess excavated materials from the site.

to prevent free water appearing on surface during or subsequent to compaction
operations.
1. Remove and replace, or scarify and air dry, soil material that is too wet to permit
compaction to specified density.
2. Soil material that has been removed because it is too wet to permit compaction
may be stockpiled or spread and allowed to dry. Assist drying by discing,
harrowing or pulverizing until moisture content is reduced to within + 2% of its
optimum moisture content.
