1 SECTION PART 1 GENERAL 1.01 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS A. PART A and DIVISION 1 of PART B are hereby made a part of this SECTION. B. Examine all conditions as they exist at the project prior to submitting a bid for the work of this SECTION Related Work: A. Documents affecting work of this Section include, but are not necessarily limited to, General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, and Sections in Division One of these Specifications. 1. Earthwork - Section Finish Grading - Section Storm Drains - Section 4. Soil Preparation - Section Lawns and Grasses- Section CONTRACTOR'S IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 1 % MINIMUM PIPE PITCH DESIGN CRITERIA A. The Contractor is to establish the invert elevations from the following design criteria and as shown on the drawings to install the subdrainage system. The intent is to follow the slope of surface finish grades that keep the trench depth constant. Exceptions to this would be where runs are level, or less than 1%, or on lines which have to connect to storm drainage structures, in these cases the depth of the trench and its component parts would increase as necessary to accommodate a minimum of 1% or greater slope. B. Layout: Pipe layout and sizing is shown on the drawings. C. Adjustments: 1. Adjust the Subdrainage System to accommodate any adjustments that may be required. Notify the landscape architect of these conditions before doing adjustments
