226-1 DESCRIPTION
226-3 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
The specification for comprehensive grading is written to include the work, measurement, and payment for Sections 200, 225, 230, 235, 250, 500 and 560 of the Standard Specifications under the line item “Grading", which is lump sum. A project with lump sum grading will still include the estimated quantities in the plans for bidders to review and to aid project personnel during construction.
When it is anticipated that a contract will include a large quantity of one of those sections referenced in the specifications, a project special provision is often included which will identify which section is not included under the LS pay item. There will be separate line item in the contract for the sections not included in the grading line item.
Regardless of the type of pavement encountered, no additional compensation will be provided as all pavement removal is included in comprehensive grading. Note the listed exceptions to measurement of undercut excavation.
On comprehensive grading projects, when local material is deemed unsuitable, material obtained from a borrow source to backfill the pipe from the springline to existing grade should be paid for in accordance with Article 104-7 if there is no borrow line item. If there is a line item for borrow, and the borrow meets the requirements for select bedding and backfill, then no deductions should be made to the borrow quantity used for bedding & backfill.
