Tree Bark Mulch, Type III used for plant pits (multiple plants in one bed area) and plant holes outside of plant pit areas shall meet the requirements of Subsection 715.07. Tree Bark Mulch, Type V used for the surface mulching plant holes and plan t pits shall meet the requirements of Subsection 715.07. Straw mulch delivered in bales shall be commercially available baled straw with an approximate length of 32 inches.
233.03 Construction Requirements .
233.03.1 General . All work shall conform to good horticultural practices.
233.03.2 Placement . The specified kinds of mulc h shall be placed uniformly on

The mulch shall be placed to the specified depth by an approved method and in a manner that will present a neat uniform appearance. The mulch shall be kept within the designated areas without undue scattering. The areas to receive mulch and the rates of application will be shown on the plans or designated by the Engineer. The tolerances from the specified rates will be as determined by the Engineer to be reasonable.
233.03.3 Protection and Maintenance . The Contractor shall maintain and protect
mulch areas until release of maintenance of the project. The Contractor shall take every precaution to prevent unnecessary foot and vehicular traffic on the mulched areas and shall repair and restore immediately all displacement of mulc h without additional compensation. 233.04--Method of Measurement . Mulch for woody plant materials will be measured by the cubic yard or ton as specified herein. Tree Bark Mulch, Type III for tree plant holes and for shrub plant holes outside of plant pit areas will be measured per cubic yard. Tree Bark Mulch, Type V for tree and shrub plant holes outside of plant pit areas requiring bed preparation and in unplanted ar eas where the mulch is utilized as a surface treatment will be measured per cubic yard;. Tree Bark Mulch, Type V within plant pit areas will not be measured for payment. Tree bark mulch will be measured by the cubic yard as packaged or baled. Unless the Engineer determines otherwise, the volume shown on the manufacturer's label or tag will be used to determine the volume. Aggregate mulch will be measured by the cubic yard (LVM). Straw mulch will be measured by the cubic yard, ton, or each bale. When measuring straw mulch by the cubic yard, the volume for measurement will be the product of the number of bales of straw mulch acceptably placed and the average volume per bale. When measuring straw mulch by the ton, the weight for measurement will be the product of the number of bales of straw mulch accepta bly placed and the average weight per bale as determined on approved scal es provided by the Contractor.
233.05 Basis of Payment . Mulch of the kinds, types, or classes specified will be paid
for at the contract unit price per cubic yard for tree bark mulch, per cubic yard (LVM) for aggregate mulch, and per cubic yard, ton or each for straw mulch, which prices thus paid shall be full compensation for completing the work. Payment will be made under: 233-A: Tree Bark Mulch, Type - per cubic yard 233-B: Aggregate Mulch - per cubic yard 233-C: Straw Mulch, Class - per cubic yard, ton, or each SECTION 234 - SILT FENCE
234.01 Description . This work consists of furnishing, constructing and maintaining a
water permeable filter type fence, inlet siltation guard or turbidity barrier for the purpose of removing suspended soil particles from the water passing through it in accordance with the requirements shown on the plans, as directed by the Engineer and these specifications.
