DESCRIPTION
708.01 Description
This work consists of furnishing and erecting monuments or markers composed of Portland cement concrete or other materials approved by the Engineer. Monuments and Markers shall be of the kind, size, dimensions, shapes, and markings as shown on the Plans. MATERIALS
708.02 Materials
Furnish monuments and markers manufactured of Class A concrete, composed of materials including reinforcement meeting 604.02. Provide c oncrete right-of-way markers that have a smooth finish and are fabricated as shown on the Plans. Stone for monuments and markers shall meet 921.07. Metal materials shall conform to the requirements shown on the Plans or specified in the Special Provisions. Provide paint, if required, that meets 910 for the kind and type of paint called for on the Plans. 708.03 711 EQUIPMENT
708.03 Equipment
Provide hoisting equipment, rollers, skids, protecting mats, and other equipment necessary to handle monuments or markers without damage. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
708.04 Foundation Preparation
A.Monuments Unless otherwise shown on the Plans, excavate for monuments to not less than 6 inches larger on all sides than the base of the monument, and to a depth of not less than 6 inches below the grade of the base of the monument, unless solid rock is encountered. Remove all soft or yielding material in the foundation to such depth as directed by the Engineer, and refill and tamp in 6 -inch layers with material satisfactory to the Engineer. If solid rock is encountered, excavate to below the grade of the base, remove soft or flaky material, and bring to a true even grade. Ensure that the foundations for all monuments are of such character as will hold the monu ment in place and in its intended position. Obtain the Engineer’s approval of the foundation.
B.Markers Prepare the excavation for markers by digging holes to the depth shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer, and of such size as will allow satisfactory backfilling and tamping. If rock is encountered above the grade of the base of the marker, the Contractor may cut off the marker, provided it is set 1 foot in solid rock and the area around the marker is filled with Class A concrete or mortar meeti ng 905.02. Place the backfill in 6-inch layers. Thoroughly tamp each layer, and when the backfilling is completed, ensure that the marker is substantial and unyielding.
708.05 Manufacture and Erection of Monuments and Markers
Concrete monuments and markers may be precast or cast -in-place. The concrete shall meet the requirements of 604.03 for Class A concrete. 708.06 712 Manufacture monuments and markers in accordance with the applicable provisions of 604. Cut stone monuments and markers from stone conforming to 921.07 and to be of the size and shape and to contain such other details as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer. Place markers in the prepared excavation, and hold firmly in place, true to line and grade, until backfilled. Place backfill in 6 -inch layers, and thoroughly tamp each layer. Install or erect stone or precast monuments on the prepared foundation, set accurately at the proper elevation, and in a manner that will ensure they will remain firmly in place. Set the monuments on blocks or shims to line and grade. Fill the excavation below the bottom of the monument with Class A concrete. Work the concrete in, under, and around the base of the monument until all voids are filled. After the concrete has set, backfill the remainder of the excavation to the natural ground line with suitable m aterial. Perform painting, if called for on the Plans, as specified in 603.
708.06 Final Finishing and Cleanup
The Engineer will inspect monuments or markers after they have been placed in their final position. Remove all defects and scars. Neatly shape the surface of the ground immediately around each installation to the established grade. Dispose of all excess material as directed by the Engineer. Perform f inal cleanup as specified in 104.10. COMPENSATION
708.07 Method of Measurement
The Department will measure Monuments and Markers for payment by the number of individual units furnished, placed, and accepted, complete in place. 708.08 713 The Department will consider e xcavation and foundation preparation, and the backfill material and concrete used in preparing foundations or backfilling the excavation, to be incidental to the work.
708.08 Basis of Payment
The Department will pay for accepted quantities, complete in p lace, at the contract prices as follows: Item Pay Unit Monuments (Description) Each Markers (Description) Each Such payment is full compensation for all labor, materials, equipment, and all other incidentals necessary to complete the work. 709.01 714 SECTION 709 – RIPRAP AND SLOPE PAVEMENT
