The classifications for necessary excavation for arch superstructures outside the limits of foundation excavation or waterway excavation shall be those governing the excavation inside the limits of foundation excavation or waterway excavation, depending on the location of the excavation for the arch superstructure. Such excavation shall be bounded by vertical planes which are 1 ft outside the outside faces of the arch ring and parallel thereto, by a vertical plane passing through the intersection of the intrados of the arch ring and the or iginal ground line and parallel to the face of the abutment, and the vertical plane bounding the foundation excavation on the side 420 adjacent to the arch ring. Th e lower limit shall be a sloping plane which is 1 ft below a plane connecting the intersection of the intrados of the arch ring and the original ground, and the intersection of the intrados of the arch ring with the vertical plane bounding the foundation excavation. For U-abutments, the limits of dry excavation to be paid for will be extended to include all material removed from between the limits of the wing excavation and above the elevation of the bottom of the lowest tie beam. If the bottom of the lowest tie beam is below the upper limits of wet excavation, the limits of wet excavation and dry excavation to be paid for will be extended to include material actually and necessarily 430 removed from between the limits of the wing excavation.

Where it is necessary to excavate outside the foundation excavation limits for superstructure or extensions other than those described above, the pay limits will be extended to include all such excavation, as determined necessary. If a suitable sump is constructed outside the pay limits as described above, such limits will be extended to include the actual lines of the sump. The additional pay limits added for the sump will not exceed 4% of the area of the footing involved. 440

(c)Traffic Structure Supports The cost of excavation for traffic structure supports, except for class X material

in accordance with 206.02(a)1, shall be include d in the cost of the foundation material.
