• full-site clearing and grubbing, followed by mass earthwork involving approximately 65,000 cubic yards of cut and approximately 718,000 cubic yards of fill. Resulting in import and placement of 653,000 cubic yards of net fill material. • This effort is intended to elevate the site an average of 8 to 10 feet across the limits of disturbance, effectively raising the project area out of the floodway. • Grading operations will include a maximum cut of up to 13 feet in designated areas and a maximum fill depth of up to 17 feet in others, in accordance with the plans and contract documents. • This phase will also include the construction of key site drainage features such as swales, detention ponds, and erosion control to manage surface runoff during and after grading operations. These components are critical to maintaining site stability and controlling erosion throughout the development process. • The work will involve the disturbance of several delineated wetlands, which is accounted for within the environmental permitting for this phase. However, the central creek corridor running through the site, serving as a natural divider between the RV Campground and the Soccer Complex, will remain undisturbed and protected throughout this phase but with the potential for a temporary creek crossing for construction. No utility installation is included in this package; all underground utility work will be addressed in subsequent bid phases. • The Contractor is responsible for obtaining the fill material and importing the material to the site. • An option to consider is the City of Benton owns a nearby source of fill material on property owned by the City (Saline County parcels 805-22300-006 and 805- 22200-003), located near Mountain View Elementary and Benton Fire Station #6. This borrow site contains an estimated 894,000 cubic yards of potential fill material, which will be made available to the contractor at no cost. A grading exhibit showing available cut volumes can be provided upon request. Contractors are responsible for conducting all necessary testing to confirm the material’s suitability for use prior to transport and placement.
