PREPARATION
. Sub-grade for planting beds and tree pits:
. Scarify subsoil below root-ball to the depth and width shown on planting details.
. Location of trees:
Stake out all tree locations and planting beds, and obtain the Landscape Architect's
approval before excavating. Cooperate with the Landscape Architect where minor
adjustments to such locations are necessary. The proposed location of trees and
plants on drawings is approximate only and may require adjustment due to site
conditions.
. Excavation for trees and planting beds:
Excavate planting pits for trees as detailed, unless otherwise shown on drawings.
Minimum diameter of pits to be 600 mm larger than the root-ball diameter for all
trees.
Excavate planting beds to minimum depth of 400 mtn, unless shown otherwise on
drawings.
Backfilling for planting beds and trees:
-+ Add bone-meal to the soil mixture at the rate of 0.6 kglm2.
-+ Mix topsoil, peat-moss, and other additives thoroughly on site, not more than two
days before backfilling.
-+ Do not mix or backfill when soil mixture is in a muddy or frozen condition.
-+ Backfill to a height above finished grade sufficient to allow for, natural
settlement, or as more specifically shown on the planting details.
-+ Backfill soil mixture in layers not exceeding 150 mm in depth. Tamp each layer
firmly before placing subsequent layers.
-+ Rake soil mix smooth to indicated finish grade levels.
-+ Compact soil mix by rolling to a consistent Standard Proctor Density of 80%-
85%, or as directed by the Landscape Architect.
-+ Finish grades to a smooth, loose-textured surface free of depressions and stones,
roots, branches, and similar natural materials larger than 50 mm. Remove all
materials of an unnatural kind, and concentrated accumulations of gravel.
SP-62
PLANTING TIME
· Provide the Landscape Architect with a planting schedule. Extending planting operations
over a long period, using a limited crew, will not be acceptable.
· Ensure that watering facilities are available. Use anti-desiccant when planting during
heat of summer only as directed by the Landscape Architect. Contractor shall not assume
that water for plant materials is available on site.
· Plant only under conditions that are conducive to the health and best physical conditions
of plant material.
INSTALLATION
. Plants and trees:
Plant during suitable weather conditions, according to locally accepted practice, and
with the Landscape Architect's approval. Set plumb in the centre of the pit at the
same relation to grade as originally shown, after settlement has taken place.
Plant trees and shrubs vertically and faced to give best appearance in relation to
primary visual experience.
Set plants in partly filled pits or beds of soil mixture, allowing at least 150 rom of soil
mixture under each plant. Remove all ropes, wires, etc., and pull burlap away from
top of root-ball. Constantly tamp soil around root-ball to eliminate air pockets. Soak
soil mixture thoroughly with water when hole is filled halfway. Fill hole completely,
leaving a shallow saucer directly over the root-ball, and slightly smaller in diameter
than the excavation. Allow enough soil mix to anticipate settling to the specified
depth and finish grade. Water trees and planting beds thoroughly immediately after
planting. Apply specified mulch.
Ensure that the top of the root-ball of caliper sized trees and coniferous trees are 150
mm above surrounding finished grade.
Stake trees as per detail.
. Pruning:
Prune only as necessary to remove dead, broken, or diseased branches. Preserve the
natural form and character of plants.
Use only sharp, clean tools and make cuts almost flush without leaving stubs. Trace
back to living tissue all cuts, bruises, and scars on the bark.

SECTION GC 8.0 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
GC 8.01
Measurement
GC 8.01.01
Quantities
.01 The Contract Administrator will make an estimate once a month, in writing, of the quantity of Work
performed. The first estimate will be the quantity of Work performed since the Contractor
commenced the Contract, and every subsequent estimate, except the final one, will be of the quantity
of Work performed since the preceding estimate was made. The Contract Administrator will provide
the copy of each estimate to the Contractor within 10 Days of the Cut-Off Date.
.02 Such quantities for progress payments shall be construed and held to approximate. The final
quantities for the issuance of the Completion Certificate shall be based on the measurement of Work
completed.
.03 Measurement of the quantities of the Work performed will be either by Actual Measurement or by
Plan Quantity principles as indicated in the Contract. Adjustments to Plan Quantity measurements
will normally be made using Plan Quantity principles but may, where appropriate, be made using
Actual Measurements. Those items identified on the Tender by the notation (P) in the unit column
shall be paid according to the Plan Quantity. Items where the notation (P) does not occur shall be
paid according to Actual Measurement.
GC 8.01.02
Variations in Tender Quantities

Contractor under a unit price tender item will exceed or be less than the tender quantity, the
Contractor shall proceed to do the Work and/or supply the Material required to complete the tender
item and payment will be made for the actual amount of Work done and/or Material supplied at the
unit prices stated in the Tender except as provided below:
a) In the case of a Major Item where the quantity of Work performed and/or Material supplied by the
Contractor exceeds the tender quantity by more than 15%, either party to the Contract may make
a written request to the other party to negotiate a revised unit price for that portion of the Work
performed and/or Material supplied which exceeds 115% of the tender quantity. The negotiation
shall be carried out as soon as reasonably possible. Any revision of the unit price shall be based
on the reasonable cost of doing the Work and/or supplying the Material under the tender item plus
a reasonable allowance for profit and applicable overhead.
b) In the case of a Major Item where the quantity of Work performed and/or Material supplied by the
Contractor is less than 85% of the tender quantity, the Contractor may make a written request to
negotiate for the portion of the actual overheads and fixed costs applicable to the amount of the
underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity. For purposes of the negotiation, the overheads
and fixed costs applicable to the item are deemed to have been prorated uniformly over 100% of
the tender quantity for the item. Overhead costs shall be confirmed by a statement certified by the
Contractor's senior financial officer or auditor and may be audited by the Owner. Alternatively,
where both parties agree, an allowance equal to 10% of the unit price on the amount of the
underrun in excess of 15% of the tender quantity will be paid.
Written requests for compensation must be received no later than 60 Days after the issuance of the

classifications of being buth sand type soi1~. There ~ little: or no significant differences
between them in their physical properties. The following is their physical composition.

Fertility Analvsis:
Report Number C0614S-01 5
General Overview
The following report is based on evaluating the soils submitled fUf the purpose of
growing tuTf and ornamentals only. It docs not evaluate or make referenee to
contaminant~ or specific amendment materiaJs n)r the purpose of amending the topsoil.
This agronomic l'CJXlrl applies to the Nt)il samples fertility status only, with reference to it
supporting, and growing quality plants that are more resistant to both disease, and
moisture stress. Due 10 the many cnvironm(,-ntal variable; afTecting the outcome and
success growini of plants, the besl management fertili~.er guidelines suggested docs not
ensure stress and succes.~rul establishment can be avoided.
In nMt=w of the fertility analysis we conducted on these two panicular soil
!C3JI1ple.~ the agronomic properties arc ~imilar in both samples. The diffcrcnc=; f()r lhe
most part can generally be considt=red within DOnnaJ soil variation in topsoil. 1l1c:reforc
these two soils could be considered a commun soil for use pwposcs. The textural analysis
bas dctcnnined both these soils 1.0 be true sands, with minimal silt and clay fractions. The

of fertilizer to supplement, and improve the main nutrients., phosphnru.~ and potassium
deiicjenci~l\, plus routine maintenance applications to s~tain and gradually build the soil
fertility levels. There should also be 3 supplement containing biome m8b'llcsium to
supplement the very low magnesiunl as well. TIle post maintenance fcrtili.,.LT trcatment~
should grc1dual1y build the soil levels with time. The micronutrients, the second., row of
nutrients arc somewhat mure variahle ranging from again low to very high for this soil
type. We would also suggest an initial treatment containing some zinc as part of the
starter amendment, and leave the others as an option ba.c;ed un the end-use of this soil.
'Iberc is one Ia.c;t element that as a precaution, we also monitor due to its
intcrfere",,~ and that is the clement sodium. The ~ium level. due to the status of the
other cations could eau!;e some plant growing problems, if there i~ a significant level.
Th~"" two soils have levels of sodium that are below the critical limit, and shuuld nul
prcs""I1l a pmblem. The critical reference on sodium levels is 0.5% base saturation, and
these samples arc at 0.1-0.8% Nudium. SamJlle #2 is somewhat higher compared to
sample # 1, but we would not expect this to presenl a problem. Generally sodium
becomes a problem in cxc~~s of 1.0%. increasing to 2.0% where we begin to see severe
Jlhytotoxicity. The balance of the report will djscu.\'S the agronomics of the paramelel1l\.
Ol"JaDie matter: The urgllnic matter in these two soils arc 1.3-2.7%, which
is low to average for unamended topsoil. Idcany Jhr landscape purposes and generally
good topsoil the percent organic malter should be 4.0 % or bctter in ~()iI for turf
establishment The organic matter plays an important role in the fertility and dynamics or
the soil a.c; well as adds to the nutrient availability and mujstur~ retention.
PhOSDborus: The plant available phosphorus levels arc similar and both
would rate low in available phosphorus. In s()ils of this type, and for good plant
establishment the optimum level or phosphorous should be a minimum ()r 30-ppm Rray
PI to assure proper turf establishment. We would recommend the addition of some
phosphorus a.1I a starter pre-plant program prior to seeding or sodding plu~ a mainlenance
progr.m of phosphorus after to build and su.c;tain good levels to support the turf growth
over the ycar~.
Potassium: Potassium levels of27-35 ppm would also nite vel)' low for these
soils. Thc..c;c sojl~ ideally should contain elose to 200 ppm oj" K (Potassium), and have a
pr..-rcenl base saturation of percent K greater than 2.0%. Roth samples due to their type are
approximalely 0.S-0.9% plant available potassium.
M8e.uesium: The magnesium level in lhe lwo soils is different low based again
on the wil type and high proportion of calcium. Soil lor the best availability of
magnesium. should have a percent base satur.lion ()f Mg greater than 10.0%. These soils
have available magnesium at 3.9-11.0% base saturation, whieh is Jia less [han optimum
f()r sample ff I. The magnesium clement influences the uptake and utilw.ation ur

KIM2 Ratio: This ratio indicates the level ufpotassium to magnesium and the
interaction that they ~'\VC on one another. The ideal range for KlMg rcltio is 0.2 - 0.35. In
this case a KlMg ratio of 0.OS-0.13 indicates the two elcm~:nu in consideration of one tn
the other are low in potassium to the magnesium. Unfortunatcly th()ugh balanced, both of
th~ importanl clements are critically dclicient Any amendmcn.t should contain a
balance of both nutrients such as sulfate of pota.~h magnesia fcrtili7.er to help (l'Tset this
deficiency .
Calcium: The calcium level in the soils is very high in bulb the samples. Soil
having a base saturation of calciwn in excess of 8S % often cause; problems of
availability with the other major nutrients. Th~ soils arc both above the uptimum at 87-
96% availablc calcium. This calcium is not at t(lxic levels but it docs influence
availability of the other catiuns (potassium, magnesium). Il is not unusual to have high
calci um contenl soils in Ontario though due to the nature of the parent mat"Tials.
Sodium: The sodi'UDllevel in ppm is low, but in planting situations the critical
thre~hold levels of ~()dium depends on the pcrcl'nl base saturation. 'lhc sodium percent
base satunation level shuuld be below 0.5%. '!besc soils are approximately 0.1-0.8%.
which is below the critical thr,,-o;hold, for most gnlss specics germination and growth, and
should n<)l he a.ffectcd as long as levels in the stockpile remain approximately 1.0% or
less.
PH: 'lhe pH bc."l suited for gross growth is between 6.2-6.8. At this level most
nutrients arc morc available for plant uptake. A pH or 7.7-7.9 is alkaline and could
po.ssihly restrict the availability of sume of these Dutrients. '!bc soil pH is typical lhuugb
for a lot uf soils regionally in Ontario, The soil submitted is very high in the available
calcium percent ba.cce saturation, which partly explains the high pH reading. RemediaJ
lowering of lhe pH is difficult versus that of r.tising it. Attention, to acidic materials for
tCrtili1y would help assist this. Materials such as low-pH peal, or an organic suil with
lower caleium levels would be possibilities for amendment
Mieronutrients: The micronutrients (second row of clements) in these soils are for
the most part variablc. Due to lhe intended end-use of the soil em application of 7.ine
would be recommended at thc timC of establishment.
Pre-plantbal! Amendments
The fertility n.~rnmCJ1dation included is made to amend the values of the soil nutrients
only. Any follow-up maintenance prllgrcl1Tl should include magncsium tn support the
existing levels.
Fertility Rccommendation5
Prior to the Seeding and worked into the top layer (6 in. depth) of thc lopsoi1.
Cautio11: }c'crtili:l.er should not be ~read on the surface with the seed.

This treatment should be broadcast prior to seeding or lbe laying of sod and worked into
the soil. The nitrogen applicalion should be split, SO pounds per acre now (J.5 pound per
thousand square feet) and 20 to 30 puunds top dre.c;~d after the gr~s has emerged.
Heavier or mure application.~ may be required in weak area.;.

Split the Nitrogen and Potash appJication of the maintenance progrdln into four to
six equal trealments and spread these over the growing scuon. Suggested times of
applicatinn arc early spring, latc May. early July and early September.
Thi~ program should be followed for 2-3 years and then the soil ro tested to
design a new program. This maintenance program is a long-tcnn program and a soillc~t
should be taken every twu years to J'C evaluate the fertility NlatuS. 'lbe prot,rram is also
designed for developing a good stHnd of turf over a period of time. Irlurfis to be u~ as
cover only~ after establishment the maintenance progr.un could be reduced to save
expense.
