Q

What happens during the preliminary surveying phase?

A

During preliminary surveying, the contractor will verify property boundaries, roadway geometries, the limit of construction (or limit of work) line and other major dimensions, as well as identify stockpiling areas.

26
Other names for design specifications
Material and workmanship specifications
27
Three types of specifications
Design Specifications Performance Specifications Closed & Proprietary Specifications
28
Components of a design specification
Highly prescriptive, detailed instructions that state HOW the work will be conducted. Contractor is not held liable if the end result is not achieved by following the specification.
29
Components of a performance specification
Contractor’s work satisfies the specification only if their work meetings the technical performance requirements outlined in the specifications E.g. the compressive strength of the concrete shall be 3,000 psi
30
Closed & Proprietary Specifications
Closed specification requires a specific item or system proprietary specifications are a type of closed specifications that specify a product where there is no allowance for alternatives.
31
reference Specifications
Introduced established tests or formal procedures into design or performance specifications
32
Standard specifications
An entire set of technical specifications that have been developed by an owners. Once developed they can be used across many projects with similar requirements.
33
When written as a ratio (i.e. 12:1) what comes first, horizontal or vertical distance?
Horizontal
34
What is contained in a bid form? (7)
Base bid price Alternatives or modifications to the base bid and their price impact Provisions for additional work Time of completion Bid Surety Qualifications, financial statement, list of subs Signature of a certification by the contractor
35
Project manual consists of 4 documents
Bidding Documents General Conditions Supplementary Provisions Technical Specifications
36
Documents included in the bid documents (6)
Notice to bidders Instructions to Bidders Bid Form Contract Form Specifications Project-specific attachments and exhibits (like geotechnical report)
37
This document outlines the rules under which a project will be built and contain “boilerplate” language that establishes the contract.
General Conditions
38
Which document include the following: Notice to bidders Instructions to bidders Bid Form Contract Form Specifications Addendum of project-specific attachments such as a geotechnical report
Bidding Documents
39
A document included in the project manual which augments the general conditions with project specific information. Can include cost-reporting requirements, traffic control measures, and specific information about material substitutions.
Supplementary Provisions
40
Concave Slope Contour Signature
Contour lines that are spaces at increasing distance in the downhill direction. Meaning the slope is steeper at the higher elevations and becomes progressively more flat at the lower elevations.
41
Convex slope contour signature
Contour lines are spaced at decreasing distances in the downhill direction. The slope is flatter at the higher elevations and becomes progressively steeper at the lower elevations
42
Measuring invert elevations
note that invert elevations are always measured from the bottom of the interior surface of the pipe
43
reference to include on drawing for subsurface drainage (on grading plan)
designation for material, diameter, length, and slope
44
There are four general phases to grading activities during construction:
STEP 1: Site preparation STEP 2: Rough grading/bulk excavation STEP 3: Backfilling and fine grading STEP 4: Finish surfacing.
45
When to place grade stakes
The last step in preparing a site for excavation is the placement of grade stakes. Grade stakes are used to indicate the amount of cut or fill necessary to achieve the proposed subgrade.
46
To be included in the vicinity map:
Bolder Street Names of adjoining streets Scale North arrow Project site boundaries with natch
47
Components requirements of a cover sheet
Project location map Vicinity Map Project Description Sheet Index Licensure stamp
48
Standard plan information to include on all drawings
Title block North arrow Graphic scale Site survey information showing existing conditions to remain Limit of work line
49
Purpose of a layout plan
Establish the horizontal position, orientation an extent of specific design elements
50
Which plan establishes the horizontal layout of the project elements
Layout plan
51
Which plan establishes the vertical position of the design elements
Grading plan
52
Typically included in a layout plan beyond Standard Plan Graphics/Information
Property lines with bearings and distances Easements, setbacks, and survey benchmarks Final reference notes to supplement graphic instruction and general notes
53
What sheet would show lighting, if a separate lighting plan is not provided
Layout plan
54
What layout method is demonstrated in this image?
Perpendicular offset
55
What layout method is represented in the image
Baseline system
56
A layout system used to locate curvilinear elements that do not require a high degree of accuracy. Offsets are taken at fixed intervals from the reference point to the edge or centreline of the proposed element
Baseline systems
57
When should a coordinate layout system be used? (4)
Projects with irregular geometry when a baseline is difficult to establish Landscape design is not related to a building in construction Complex topography existing Small scale work such as residential gardens
58
Key station points in a stationing layout
Full stations (100 ft intervals) Half Stations (50 ft intervals) High / Low Points Street intersections Beginnings / ends of curves
59
In this image, what is the: point of vertical curve (PVC) Point of vertical intersection (PVI) Point of vertical tangency (PVT)
60
Superelevation
Superelevation is the cross-slope of a road from the outside edge to the inside edge, and is a necessary design feature on high-speed curves to counteract centrifugal force and to improve traction on the roadway surface.
61
The cross-slope of a road from the outside edge to the inside edge, to counteract centrifugal force on high-speed curves and to improve traction on the roadway surface.
Superelevation
62
Proposed landscape architecture improvements including pavement/hardscape, joint locations and conditions, walls and wall types, site furnishings, guardrails, handrails and fencing would be included on which plan?
Materials plan
63
what plan would include signage
materials plan
64
three primary documents used in solicitation of bids by an owner
Invitation to bid Instructions to Bidders Bid Form
65
information regarding award of contract and rejection of bids would generally be found in what bid document
instructions to bidders
66
Hot dip galvanizing
dipping metal in molten zinc (reduces rusting)
