• Longevity and Maintenance: The parking lot must be constructed to have the longest possible life and the lowest maintenance cost, using high-quality materials and workmanship. • Design Compliance: The design by Hooghan, LLC, is to be strictly followed. • Pavement Thickness: A conservative pavement thickness, as recommended in the design, is to be used to support daily vehicle traffic, including dumpster trucks. Subbase and Base Layer: The subbase must be checked for adequate compaction, with no visible water or movement. The base layer/subsoil must be firm and unyielding under the pressure of repeated construction trucks. • Drainage: Proper drainage must be constructed to prevent water puddling. • Utility Coordination: Before excavation, the contractor/firm must contact local utility authorities to prevent damage to underground utilities, referring to the design for specific locations. • Grading and Materials: The parking lot must be properly graded, the pavement must have the correct depth, and the correct crushed aggregate materials must be installed. • Accessibility: All ramps, parking areas, and walkways must meet American with Disabilities Act Standards. • Pre-Paving Inspection: Before asphalt mixture delivery, an inspector must review the site to ensure it is ready for construction and asphalt paving. • Safety: Safety is paramount. Steps must be taken to always ensure the safety of all workers and the public. This includes protecting entrances, exits, and crossing points, planning vehicle movement, ensuring pedestrian safety, and having construction warning signs and clear work zone markings. Traffic on Peshlakai Street must have proper signage for smooth flow. • Meetings: A pre-construction meeting is required within two weeks of the Notice-to-Proceed, followed by regular construction meetings to keep the project on schedule and ensure a high-quality product. Additional Considerations/Reference Notes: The design by Hooghan, LLC, and soil testing report developed by GeoMat, Inc., are to be used to ensure all necessary details, procedures, and specifications are included, even if omitted from this SOW.
