570-3.3 Sod: Place the sod on the prepared surface, with edges in close contact. Do not
use sod which has been cut for more than 48 hours. Place the sod to the edge of all landscape areas as shown in the Plans and the Standard Plans. Place rolled sod parallel with the roadway and cut any exposed netting even with the sod edge. Monitor placed sod for growth of exotic or invasive pest plants and noxious weeds. If exotic or invasive pest plants and/or noxious weeds manifest themselves within 30 days of placement of the sod during the months April through October, within 60 days of placement of the sod during the months of November through March treat affected areas by means acceptable to the Department at no expense to the D epartment. If pest plants and/or noxious weeds manifest themselves after the time frames described above from date of placement of sod, the Engineer, at hi s sole option, will determine if treatment is required and FY 2023-24 Return to Table of Contents
