for Highway Construction Page 575 of 71 5 SECTION 650 – TIME -LAPSE CAMERA
650.01 Description.
Furnish and install a stationary time- lapse ca mera system at a location to view the work of each stage of construction. Move the camera to new locations, as necessary, to view the construction of the subsequent stages of construction. Upload images from the camera and ensure a fully -functional website is viewable by the public. The camera system will monitor work on the project site as well as capture images for the production of a time- lapse movie.
650.02 Materials.
Provide a stationary high resolution, wide lens time- lapse camera capable of capturing each stage of construction. Video and audio capabilities are not required. The camera system must be able to capture high resolution images of at least 6 megapixels for use in producing a high resolution Ultra HD 4K and 1080p time- lapse movie generated from the still images taken during the work. The camera system must be able to operate in typical Idaho weather conditions (e.g., 10°F to 120°F, 40 mph winds) for the time of year the construction is occurring. The camera system must be able to store data onsite (e.g., solid state hard drive) and communicate the data via a data connection (e.g., LTE cellular connection) to transmit the data to the Engineer. The camera system requires a website, viewable by the public, any time the project site is illuminate d. Provide all necessary hardware, software, data transmission, data storage, mo unting hardware, 24/7 technical support, monitoring, maintenance, lens cleaning, and power interruption alerts by email for the duration of the work.
650.03 Construction Requirements.
Install the stationary camera system in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions, requirements, or as directed. Digital still images will be taken every 20 minutes or otherwise directed. Each image must include the year, month, date, and time that the image was taken. Submit all original digital still images without alteration , manipulation, editing, or modifications us ing image -editing software. Submit a professionally produced high- resolution Ultra 4K and high- definition (1080p) time- lapse movie of the work. Editing will include image stabilization, color correction, removal of inclement weather footages and images outside the desired daily time range determined by the Engineer. Submission must include high- resolution still images captured at the increments required above. File naming must include the year, month, date, and time that each high resolution still image was taken.
650.04 Method of Measurement.
The Engineer will measure acceptably completed work by the each. The Engineer will measure acceptably completed services monthly. for Highway Construction Page 576 of 715 650.05 Basis of Payment . The Department will pay for acceptable work as follows: Pay Item Pay Unit Time -Lapse Camera .............................................................................. Each Time -Lapse Camera Serv ice ................................................................. Monthly Any additional items necessary to provide a fully -functional camera system are incidental (e.g., equipment, setup, installation, maintenance, support, removal, time- lapse movie). for Highway Construction Page 577 of 715 SECTION 651 – LAWN CONSTRUCTION
651.01 Description.
Prepare site, construct and install sod or turf, or apply seed, and maintain designated lawn areas. Ensure construction work and lawn area are established to the specif ied condition at the end of the specified establishment period.
651.02 Materials.
Ensure plant materials conform to the curren t edition of American Standard for Nursery Stock.
A.Turf Seed. Provide turf seed that consists of drought -tolerant, fine -textured, turf- type grasses that are specific for the project site. This may include fescue, bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, or a combination of the type suitable for the designated turf area. Refe r to 711.05 for fur ther seeding requirements.
B.Sod. Provide sod that consists of drought tolerant, fine textured, turf -type grasses that are specific for the project site. This may include fescue, bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, or a combination of the type suitable for the designated sod area. Provide grass species true to type and name in accordance with the standard plant names, current edition, by the Editorial Committee of the American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature. Provide grass sod less than 10 months old, free of weeds and undesirable plants , and not frozen or dormant. Obtain the Engineer’s prior approval of the supply source before cutting and delivering to the planting site. Ensure sod has been properly handled and cared for, has natural color, is in healthy condition, and properly stored, watered, and cultivated. The Engineer will reject sod showing evidence of improper handling or discoloration d ue to prolonged storage before delivery and placement .
C.Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners. Refer to 711.07 and 711.08.
D.Soil Amendment. Refer to 711.18.
E.Mulch . Refer to 711.10.
651.03 Construction Requirements.
Amen d the soil with fertilizers, soil conditioners, soil amendments and mulch or combinations to the specified condition, as per seed and sod nutrient requirements, and as recommended by a contractor -supplied soil analysis.
A.Lawn B ed Preparation. Till the lawn areas to at least 4 inches deep by means that will loosen the soil and bring it to a condition suitable for seeding, sodding, and fine grading. Before and during this operation, make the surface free of
