The material shall be stacked in such a way that there shall be minimum voids. The rate includes quarrying blasting, hand breaking collection transporting, to the site and stacking in measurable stacks at site. Inferior quality of material brought on site shall be immediately removed from the site without any extra cost.

Item No.04 : Labour charges for spreading the spouls 127 mm thickness Layer earth filling correcting the grade and camber comp. with watering, rolling, including preparing the surface by brushing for removing all loose or dirt etc. completed. The item relates to labour work of soling. The spouls stacked at any lead from the filling area should be used good earth obtained from outside only after Engineer in charge approved. The spouls shall be sorted out from stacks. Extra earth, debris, shall be removed and the spouls shall be placed in position over the earth level formed to give a suitable soling formation by packing voids, no hollow space is left.

Rolling with 10 T.roller etc. complete as directed. The metal shall be screened of any rubbish, dust or grass. Then metal shall be laid uniformly in two layers of 50 mm each, to the required grade and camber as directed by the Engineer in charge. Laying of metal shall be started after the consolidating soling layers prepared perfectly to the proper line level and camber. Where camber of soling is found doubtful it shall be corrected prior to spreading metal. Metal filled in the basket shall be spread evenly in required number of layers as directed. Metal shall be spread in proper grade and camber if required using camber boards, so as to ensure the corrected

surface. The surface shall be checked at every 15 mts. by means of template and string for correctness of the camber. The consolidation of metal shall be done by the contractor with a minimum 8 to 10 T roller. The contractor shall provide required number of labors at the time of rolling to rectify the undulation that might have occurred during rolling. To carryout grouting of the above said 50 mm thick metalling coat the contractor shall bring all the required equipment and materials as directed. Bitumen of 80/100 grade penetration of approved quality heated to a temperature of about 150 C. and shall be applied hot by means of a sprayer uniformly over the surface at the rate of 1.5 kg./sq. mt. up to the satisfaction of Engineer in charge. Immediately following the application of bitumen and while it is still hot second layer of metal shall be spread in proper thickness and again application of bitumen at the rate of 1.5 kg./sq. mt. as above for second layer shall be done. Key aggregate of as specified in below table and of approved quality shall be evenly spread out at rate of 0.013 cum. per sq. mt. After spreading the chipping the whole area shall be rolled over thoroughly with a 8 T to 10 T. roller It is important that the rolling should be done while the bitumen is still soft and it should be continued until the road sets and there is no settlement under the roller. During the period between the initial compaction of coarse aggregate and compaction of the surface course shall be protected form all traffic other than essential to its construction, till the final compaction level is attained. All above operation shall be carried by the contractor using his equipments and material including fuel or wood required for burning etc. and as directed up to the entire satisfaction of Engineer in charge .
