DEFINITIONS OF TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY

Appurtenances:
Detailed items such as drainage facilities, and items that are
necessary and related to the proper functioning of the
Landfill final cover system.
Atterberg Limits:
The liquid limit and plastic limit of soil.
Caliche:
Gravel, sand, or desert debris cemented by porous calcium
carbonate; also calcium carbonate itself.
Clay:
Soil material with an equivalent mean grain size smaller
than 0.002 mm. Clay soils are also defined as plastic fines.
Clay Clod:
A chunk of cohesive soil or clay soils (also referred to as
“clod”).
Cohesive Soils:
Soil material, which has a high plasticity index, is sticky, and
tends to form clods when dry.
Compaction Curve:
Plot of dry unit weight versus molding water content, based
on the data obtained from moisture-density relationship
tests.
Dry Density:
The dry weight of soil material per total volume, including
air space, also known as dry density. The dry weight is
usually measured after drying in an oven at 212 degrees F
(°F) for 30 hours or until a constant weight is achieved.
Electrical
Conductivity:
Electrical conductivity, abbreviated as EC, of soil is defined
as the ease at which electrical current flows through soil
mass. According to Ohm’s law, EC equals the inverse of the
electrical resistivity. In soils, the resistivity of the individual
soil grains are high and therefore, if there is to be a passage
of current through a soil mass it will be exclusively through
electrolytic action due to the presence of dissolved salts
and solids within the pore spaces of the soil particles. The
EC of soil is indicative of the soil’s acidity or alkalinity.
Geosynthetics:
Generic term for all geosynthetic materials such as
geotextiles,
geomembranes,
geonets,
geogrids,
geosynthetic clay liners, and geocomposites.
Geotextile:
A permeable geosynthetic material fabricated with only
textiles, which may be woven, non-woven, or knitted.
Gravel:
Soil material, which is coarser than 4.76 mm in least
dimension, or retained on a No. 4 sieve.

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION A01015 - 7 of 10
Hydraulic
Conductivity:
Also known as permeability, refers to the capacity of a
material to discharge certain fluids through a material.
Discharge of fluid through a unit cross-sectional area of a
porous media under a unit hydraulic gradient, and standard
temperature of 68 degrees F defines this property.
Lift:
Discrete layer of soil (usually 6 to 10 inches thick) placed
and compacted for construction of engineered fill.
Liquid Limit:
The minimum water content of soil at which the soil
behaves like a viscous liquid. It is the arbitrary limit
between the liquid and plastic state of soil.
NICET:
An acronym for the National Institute for Certification in
Engineering Technologies, an organization that administers
examinations
for
bituminous
material,
concrete,
geosynthetics, and earthen materials for construction.
Outliers:
Data points which do not fit into the specified or required
maxima or minima values.
Permittivity:
For a geotextile, the volumetric flow rate of water per unit
cross-sectional area, per unit head, under laminar flow
conditions, in the normal direction through the fabric.
pH of Soil:
The pH of a soil sample measures the hydrogen-ion
concentration and is indicative of the soil’s acidity or
alkalinity.
Plasticity or Plastic
Index (PI):
The range of moisture content of soil in which the soil
behaves like a plastic solid. The numerical value is the
difference between the liquid limit and plastic limits.
Plastic Limit (PL):
The minimum water content, above which a soil material
behaves like a plastic solid.
Polymer:
A macromolecular material formed by the chemical
combination of monomers having either the same or
different chemical composition. Plastics, rubbers, and
textile fibers are all high-molecular-weight polymers.

Polyolefin:
A family of polymeric materials that includes polypropylene
and polyethylene, the former being very common in
geotextiles, the latter in geomembranes. Many variations
of each exist.

SECTION A01015 - 8 of 10
Seam Strength:
Strength of a seam of geotextile material measured either
in shear or peel modes. Strength of seams are reported
either in absolute units (pounds per inch of width), or as a
percent of the strength of the geotextiles.
Unit Weight:
Weight of soil samples per total volume including air space.
May include weight of water present within the pore
spaces.

FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT
A.
GENERAL
a. The ENGINEER will adjust monthly progress payments up or down as
appropriate for cost fluctuations in diesel fuel as determined in accordance
with these special provisions.
b. A fuel cost adjustment will be made when fluctuations in the price of
diesel fuel, in excess of 15 percent, occur throughout this contract. The
ENGINEER will not provide such adjustments for fluctuations in the price
of diesel fuel of 15 percent or less.
c. No adjustments will be made for fluctuations in the price of fuels other
than diesel.

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION A01025 - 7 of 9
B.
MEASUREMENT
a. The base index price of fuel will be determined by the ENGINEER from
the selling prices of diesel fuel published by OPIS (Oil Price Information
Service). The base index price to be used will be the price for Diesel fuel
No. 2, Ultra Low Sulfur, PAD 5, City of Phoenix Rack. The reported
average value for the Phoenix area will be used.
b. The base index price for each month will be the arithmetic average of the
selling price for diesel fuel, as specified above, shown in the last four
reports received prior to the last Wednesday of the month.
c. This price will be effective as of the last Wednesday of each month. The
current price may be seen at the following website:
https://www.azdot.gov/business/ContractsandSpecifications/PriceAdjust
mentforBituminousMaterialandDieselFuel
d. This price will be deemed to be the "initial cost" (IC) for diesel fuel on
projects for which bids are opened during the following month.
e. The current index price for diesel fuel in subsequent months will be the
base index price, determined as specified above, for the current month.
For example; an adjustment for diesel fuel used in May, if applicable, will
be based on the “current price” (CP) for May as posted on the last
Wednesday of May. The amount of adjustment per gallon will be the net
difference between the "initial cost," adjusted by 15 percent, and the
current index price. The monthly adjustment will be determined by the
ENGINEER and included in the payment estimate as a fuel adjustment.
For fluctuations in excess of 15 percent, fuel cost adjustments will only be
made for current price index increases greater than 1.15 times the "initial
cost" or for decreases less than 0.85 times the "initial cost." No calculation
will be made for fluctuations in the current index price of 15 percent or
less when compared to the "initial cost."
f. If the Fuel Cost Adjustment applies according to this Section A -
GENERAL, then the number of gallons of diesel fuel used per month will
be considered to equal 7.5 percent of the dollar amount of work reported
by the CONTRACTOR for each month. Such dollar amount will not
include revenue accrued in the previous month for fuel price adjustments.
g. A monthly adjustment, if applicable, will be made on this quantity, as
shown below:

S =
0.075(Q)
IC
x (CP −AC)

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION A01025 - 8 of 9

Where;
S = Monetary amount of the adjustment (plus or minus) in dollars

Q = Dollar amount of work completed for the month

CP = Current index price in dollars per gallon

AC = Adjusted "initial cost" (1.15 or 0.85 times IC) in dollars per gallon

IC = "Initial cost" as determined above, dollars per gallon

As of today’s date, the following values have been determined:

• IC for October 2022 = $3.69/gal
• AC is calculated to be $3.69*1.15 = $4.24 or $3.69*0.85 =
$3.14/gal

h. If adjustments are made in the contract quantities, the CONTRACTOR
shall accept any fuel adjustment as full compensation for increases or
decreases in the price of fuel regardless of the amounts of overrun or
underrun.
i. The value calculated above (plus or minus) will be adjusted to include
sales tax and other taxes as applicable.
j. No additional compensation will be made for any additional charges,
costs, expenses, etc., which the CONTRACTOR may have incurred since
the time of bidding and which may be the result of any fluctuation in the
base index price of diesel fuel.
k. No adjustments will be made for work performed after Substantial
Completion, as defined in Section A01010 Subsection 1.09, has been
achieved.
C.
PAYMENT
a. Price adjustments will be shown on the monthly progress estimate, but
will not be included in the total cost of work for determination of
progress or for extension of contract time.
1.08
CONTRACT CONTINGENCY
A.
Contract contingency items are provided for the purpose of encumbering funds.
No work shall be conducted under contract contingency without prior approval
by the ENGINEER. The amount, if any, of the contingency item is determined
by the ENGINEER and is not subject to individual bid pricing. All bidders shall
incorporate the amount pre-entered in the bid proposal and shall reflect the same
in the total amount bid for this project. This amount may or may not be used.

GENERAL
1.01
REQUIREMENTS
A.
The CONTRACTOR shall furnish, install and maintain required construction aids
and barriers as required to prevent public entry, and to protect the Work, existing
facilities, trees and plants from construction operations and other temporary
facilities required to complete the Work.
B.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide and maintain methods, equipment, and
temporary construction, as necessary to provide controls over environmental
conditions at the construction site and related areas under the CONTRACTOR’s
control.
C.
The CONTRACTOR shall remove all temporary facilities at completion of the

D.
The CONTRACTOR shall not interfere with the normal business traffic and the
operations of the Glendale Landfill including not using customer traffic
circulation roads.
E.
In addition to any other remedy available by law or equity to the OWNER, the
parties expressly agree that the CONTRACTOR shall be liable for and shall pay
to the OWNER the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each notice of
violation and/or citation of a federal, state, county, city, agency, or administrative
law, rule, regulation, ordinance or court order resulting from the
CONTRACTOR’s acts, errors, or omissions on the Project. This sum will be
taken out of the CONTRACTOR’s Contract with the OWNER. This sum is in
addition to any penalty, fine, or fee imposed by a court of law or administrative
agency related to the notice of violation and/or citation, and in addition to the
CONTRACTOR’s acts, errors, or omissions on the Project. The parties expressly
agree that the sum fixed above is reasonable and approximates the actual
anticipated loss to the OWNER at the time and making of this agreement in the
event that a notice of violation and/or citation is levied on the Project. The parties
expressly acknowledge and agree to the fixed sum set forth above because of the
difficulty of proving the OWNER’s actual damages in the event that a notice of
violation and/or citation is levied on the Project.
1.02
DUST CONTROL
A.
Dust control is absolutely critical on this Project. Due to residences and
institutions in close proximity to this landfill, its operations are under public

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION A01500 - 2 of 13
scrutiny at all times. Under Maricopa County’s requirements for an Earthmoving
Permit, the CONTRACTOR must place a sign for public viewing, with a
telephone number that can be used by the public to make complaints to the
Maricopa County Air Quality Department. Such a call will result in a visit to the
site by County Dust Enforcement personnel and may result in a Notice of
Violation (NOV). Notices of violation are issued to the holder of the Earthmoving
Permit (the CONTRACTOR), but they reflect unfavorably on the City of
Glendale.
The CONTRACTOR shall be prepared to spend as much time as required to keep
dust controlled in accordance with regulatory requirements. The air contaminant
emission at the Work area shall not exceed 20-percent opacity during the Contract
period. Local regulatory requirements may be more stringent than the maximum
allowable stated above. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for identifying and
complying with all applicable regulatory levels. Whenever any dust emissions
that can be seen by the naked eye, rising from the operation, and/or fugitive
emissions obstructing the view of the operations, the CONTRACTOR is in
violation of these Specifications. If the CONTRACTOR fails to provide the
necessary dust control, to the ENGINEER’S satisfaction, the Project will be shut
down, at the CONTRACTOR’s expense, until the CONTRACTOR presents
satisfactory evidence to the ENGINEER that he can continue Work and prevent
dust as required.
B.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide continuous positive methods and apply dust
control measures to prevent rising dust from construction operations, and provide
positive means to prevent airborne dust from dispersing into the atmosphere.
Chemical dust suppressants must be approved by the ENGINEER prior to use.
C.
The CONTRACTOR shall control dust by preventing blowing and movement of
dust from exposed soil surfaces and access roads to reduce on- and off-site
damage and health hazards. Control may be achieved by irrigation in which the
site shall be sprinkled with water until the surface is moist. The process shall be
repeated as needed.
1.03
NOISE CONTROL
A.
The CONTRACTOR’s vehicles and equipment shall be such as to minimize noise
to the greatest degree practicable. Noise levels shall conform to the latest OSHA
standards and in no case will noise levels be permitted which interfere with the Work
of the OWNER or others.
1.04
PEST AND RODENT CONTROL
A.
Provide rodent and pest control as necessary to prevent infestation of construction
or storage areas.

EXCAVATION

A.
The CONTRACTOR shall, during excavation, uniformly moisture condition and
remove materials in an orderly manner. Material with excessive or inadequate
moisture content shall not be considered suitable for proper compaction. The
CONTRACTOR, at his own expense, shall remove or add moisture to material
being excavated to bring it within a range of ±2 percent of the optimum moisture
content. Where tests indicate that moisture content of the material being excavated
is below the Project requirements, the moisture content of the material shall be
adjusted by the CONTRACTOR and retested. No material will be excavated and
hauled to stockpile locations until it meets the moisture content requirements of
these Specifications to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER.

B.
Where work is interrupted by heavy rains, fill operations shall not be resumed until
observations and field tests by the ENGINEER indicate the moisture content of the
materials being excavated are within the limits previously specified. This
requirement does not preclude the CONTRACTOR from disking or aerating
excessively wet areas to enhance drying.

C.
Throughout construction, all excavation areas shall be graded to provide positive
drainage to appropriate detention basins or drainage structures to prevent ponding
of water. Surface water shall be controlled to avoid damage to adjoining properties
or to finished work on the Site. The CONTRACTOR shall assume all responsibility
for surface water damage to completed work or adjoining properties arising from
the CONTRACTOR’S work.

D.
The CONTRACTOR shall inspect the condition of all existing slopes prior to bid
to determine the extent of remedial work necessary to construct the slopes shown
on the Contract Drawings. The submission of a bid will be considered proof that
the bidder has examined the Site and understands the conditions to be encountered
in performing the Work. The CONTRACTOR shall use material from the north
area excavation to complete the required remedial slope fills. The CONTRACTOR
will be responsible for the stability and safety of the existing slopes during remedial
slope filling.

E.
The CONTRACTOR shall not haul any material excavated from the north area
excavation to locations other than General or Engineered Fill areas shown on the
Drawings or the stockpile locations shown on the Contract Drawings, unless
otherwise directed by the ENGINEER.

excavation. Materials shall be free of objectionable material, with no stone
dimension greater than as specified by material type.
B.
The CONTRACTOR shall not operate heavy equipment over pipes and
buried structures until at least 1.5 feet of fill material has been placed and
compacted over the top in conformance with the requirements specified
herein, or as directed by the ENGINEER. The CONTRACTOR shall select
and operate compaction equipment so that structures are not damaged nor
over stressed during compaction operations. The CONTRACTOR shall use
hand-operated mechanical tampers for compaction of fill material adjacent
to structures where rolling equipment is impractical for use in compaction.
C.
The CONTRACTOR shall place fill materials in horizontal layers not
exceeding the allowable lift thickness and which, after compaction, meet or
exceed established compaction requirements. The CONTRACTOR shall
place material containing stones in a manner to prevent segregation of the
material and to prevent the formation of rock nests and voids in the fill.
D.
The CONTRACTOR shall place and compact fill materials while at their
required water content.
E.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide general fill to lines, grades, and
elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings or as required in writing by
the OWNER or ENGINEER.
F.
The CONTRACTOR shall place material in continuous layers not
exceeding the required loose condition depth unless otherwise directed or
approved. The cross fall of each layer shall not exceed one foot in 20 feet.
G.
The CONTRACTOR shall backfill systematically, as early as possible, to
allow maximum time for natural settlement. The CONTRACTOR shall not
backfill over porous, wet, or spongy subgrade surfaces.
H.
The CONTRACTOR shall make changes in grade gradual and blend slopes
into level areas.
I.
The CONTRACTOR shall compact each layer with a sufficient number of
passes of the soil compactor. The number of passes shall be determined
such that in the opinion of ENGINEER, sufficient compaction has been
obtained.
J.
Soils which cannot be placed and compacted to the criteria indicated in the

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION B02223 - 7 of 8
Specifications due to excessive moisture content should be air dried for a
sufficient amount of time such that they may be placed and compacted to
meet the criteria or removed and replaced.
K.
In the event of a failing test, supplemental testing shall be performed prior
to placing additional fill in order to define the area that has been
inadequately compacted. The area shall be reworked and/or removed and
replaced, then retested prior to subsequent material being placed over the
area.

3.04
REMEDIAL SLOPE FILLS

A.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide Engineered Fill to lines, grades and
elevations as shown on the Contract Drawings and as approved by the
ENGINEER.
B.
The CONTRACTOR shall place the processed soil materials in
approximately ten-inch loose lifts to produce a compacted lift thickness of
approximately eight inches. The CONTRACTOR shall compact each lift
to meet the requirements specified herein.
C.
Compaction shall be performed with appropriate equipment capable of
providing compactive forces commensurate with the densities required.
D.
Engineered fill materials are to be compacted to at least 90 percent
compaction as specified by ASTM D 1557 unless otherwise specified or
approved by the ENGINEER.
E.
Moisture content shall be maintained uniform throughout and within the
limits of ±2 percent of optimum moisture content.
F.
The maximum compacted lift thickness shall be 8”.
G.
The CONTRACTOR shall separate/segregate fine grained and course
grained materials as directed by the ENGINEER. Fine grained materials
will be used for remedial slope fills.
H.
Where work is interrupted by rains, fill operations shall not be resumed until
observations and field tests by the ENGINEER indicate that the moisture
content and density of the in-place fills are within specified limits.
I.
Unless otherwise specified by the ENGINEER, no permanent cut slopes
shall be excavated steeper than allowed by the ENGINEER, the OWNER
or the Regulator.

3.05
UNSUITABLE MATERIALS

A.
Unsuitable material encountered below the natural ground surface in fill
areas or below the grading plane in excavation areas shall be excavated and

CITY OF GLENDALE – GLENDALE LANDFILL
NORTH CELL PHASE 2B EXCAVATION, HAUL, AND STOCKPILE PROJECT
SECTION B02223 - 8 of 8
disposed of as directed by the ENGINEER. Unsuitable material is defined
as material the ENGINEER determines to be one of the following:

1.
Of such unstable nature as to be incapable of being compacted to
specified density using ordinary methods at optimum moisture
content;
2.
Too wet to be properly compacted and circumstances prevent
suitable in-place drying prior to incorporation into the Work; or
3.
Otherwise unsuitable for the planned use.

The presence of excessive moisture in a material is not, by itself, sufficient
cause for determining that the material is unsuitable.
B.
When unsuitable material is removed and disposed of, the resulting space
shall be filled with material suitable for the planned use. Such suitable
material shall be placed and compacted in layers as herein specified
C.
The CONTRACTOR shall dispose of foreign materials, rubble, abandoned
construction waste, and material that is unacceptable to the ENGINEER for
fill in accordance with local regulations.
D.
The CONTRACTOR shall grade temporary waste holding areas to maintain
a natural appearing variable percentage slope and to prevent slope failures.

3.06
TEMPORARY DRAINAGE

A.
The CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for constructing, operating and
maintaining temporary drainage systems while construction occurs prior to
the permanent drainage system being constructed and operational.
Temporary drainage systems shall be required to handle existing drainage
and the revised drainage patterns as they occur during construction.
Temporary drainage systems shall not impact the ability to construct
permanent drainage systems. The CONTRACTOR shall be solely
responsible for repairing/replacing appurtenances and/or Work damaged
due to inadequate stormwater management during construction at no cost to
the OWNER.
