the payment adjustment for all grades.
A payment adjustment per tonne of new asphalt cement will be established for each montb in
which paving occurs when tbe price index for tbe montb differs by more tban 10% from the price
index for tbe month in which tenders were opened for the Contract. When tbe price index
differential is less than 10%, there will be no payment adjustment established for that month.
Payment adjustments due to changes in the price index are independent of any other payment
adjustments made to the hot mix tender items.
The payment adjustment per tonne will apply to the quantity of new asphalt cement in the hot mix
accepted into the Work during tbe month for which it is established. However, a payment
adjustment will not apply to paving work done after the approved time for completion ofthe
Contract has expired, including the expiration of any extensions of time tbat have been granted.
The payment adjustment for the month will be calculated from the following formulae:
1. When Ip is greater tban 1.10 ITa, the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement is (Ip-
1.10 ITa) and the Contractor receives additional compensation of:
P A = (Ip - 1.1 0 ITa) x quantity of new asphalt cement in tonnes

2. When Ip is less than 0.90 ITO, the payment adjustment per tonne of asphalt cement is (0.90
ITO - Ip) and the Owner receives a rebate of:
P A = (0.90 ITO - Ip) x quantity of new asphalt cement in tonnes
Where:
P A = payment adjustment for new asphalt cement, in dollars
ITO = performance graded asphalt cement price index for the month in which tenders were
opened for the Contract
Ip = performance graded asphalt cement price index for the month in which paving occurs
The quantity of new asphalt cement includes all grades of asphalt cement supplied by the
Contractor with and without polymer modifiers. For each month in which a payment adjustment
has been established, the quantity will be calculated using the hot mix quantity accepted into the
Work and its corresponding asphalt cement content as required by the job mix formula except for
mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement.
For mixes which contain reclaimed asphalt pavement, the quantity of new asphalt cement will be
determined from the difference between the asphalt cement content required by the job mix
formula and the asphalt cement content of the reclaimed asphalt pavement incorporated into the
hot mix, as calculated by the Contract Administrator.
For mix containing a liquid anti-stripping additive, the quantity of anti-stripping additive will be
deducted from the quantity of new asphalt cement. No other deductions will be made for any other
additives.
For progress payment purposes, payment adjustments will be made on the monthly progress
payment certificates for the months in which hot mix paving occurs.
33. VARIATIONS IN TENDER QUANTITIES

OPSS specifications are not appropriate for Municipal use and shall not apply, as
determined in the sole discretion of the Director.
Since current testing methods do not enable-ongoing monitoring (and tberefore ron-ective

wi th no exceptions for 'borderline' test results permitted. Any reference to 'borderline'
or to taking 'immediate conective action' based on notification of laboratory test results
shall be deleted and the product deemed unacceptable. Ie. OPSS 0310.0804.02 which
permits air voids beyond acceptable limits, provided !be contractor takes 'immediate
corrective action" shall not apply. Unacceptable work shall be immediately removed.
Financial compensation using MTO fonnulas (to offset service life redllCtinn in
borderline work) may be considered. at the sole discretion of tbe Director, provided such
amounl is calculated by the Consulting Engineer, and all parties are in agreement.

Geotechnical Investigation
Beech Avenlll!
BuwmanviHe . Onlilrio
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your instructions we completed a geotechnical investigation for the
rehabilitation of Beech Ave., together with a number of other streets, in December 2002.
Thefieldworkfor Beech Ave. consisted of Boreholes 23,35,36 & 37 atthe locations shown
on Encl. I and were done on December 13, 2002.
Full details of the sub-surface conditions are shown on the borehole logs. Enclosures 2 to
5 inclusive and are summarized as follows:
All four boreholes encountered 25 ro 40 mm of asphalt. This was underlain by 150 mm of
concrete in Boreholes 23, 35 and 36. The asphalt in Borehole 37 and the concrete in Berehnle 23
were underlain by 150 to 300 mm of fn'anular base.
The pavement in allfour borehnles was underlain by 0.6 to 2.2 m ef.f111 which consisted of
silty sand in Borehole 23 and mixed clay, sil~ and sand with some organics in rhe other three
boreholes. Srandard Penetration Tests on rhe .fill gave N-va/ues of 4 to 6 blows/30a mm and the
natural moisture content ranged from 12 to 28%.
Based on the test results, together with a visual and tactile examination, the fill is considered
to be in a very loose to loose condition.
The fill in all four boreholes was underlain by dense to very dense si/tv sand till which
extended to a depth of at least 4 m below grade.

All boreholes were dry and open to the full depth and an examination of the soil samples
indicated that the fill was moist and the till was generally damp except in Borehole 35 where itwas
wet. Based on these observations the permanent ground water IfrVel is considered to be located at
a depth of at least 1.2 metre below ground
Discussion & Recommendations
Sewers
It is understood that sanitary and storm pipes are proposed in part of the road. It is
anticipated that invert of these sewers will be located at a depth of 2 to 3 metres below existing
grade. Reference to the borehole logs indk;ate that the subgrade will consistofvery dense silty sand
till which will provide adequate bearing supportjOr the pipes and allow the use of normal Class 'B'
bedding. Clear stone should not be used as bedding unless it is wrapped with geotextile since the
lIoids could be filled in with the surroUTIding soil and cause undesirable settlement.
The exislingfill subgrade below the cOTlCrete pavement is in a generally soft or fine conditkm
and is not IilcJ!ly to stand up well to construction traffic. In view of this it is suggested that the
existing concrete be left ill place until the sewer has been installed and bac/ifilled
The excavated material will consist of existing silty fill which will be difficult to compact in
the narrow confines of a trench. ff it is used it should be placed in 150 to 200 mm thick layers and
compacted to at least 95% of its Standard proctor maximum dry density.
Pavement
The boreholes encountered a pavement, consisting of 25 to 40 mm of asphalt underlain by
o to 180 mm of concrete and 0 to 300 mm of granular base. The sub grade consisted of generally
loose clayey fill.
The existing pavement has a granular base equivalent (G.B.E.) and asphalt equivalent as
follows:

UPDATED TREE INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT
Municipality of Clarington
Beech A venue, Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood
Date of Inspection: November 12, 2007
Project:
Project No.:
12-29601
I
Report By:
Lisa Cullen
I
The assessment presented in this report has been made using accepted standard arboriculture techniques
as outlined in the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Guide for Plant Appraisal, 9th Edition
(2000). These techniques include visual examination of above-ground parts of each tree. The trees
observed were not climbed, probed, cored, or dissected, and excavation for detailed root crown inspection
was not performed. Since some symptoms may only be present seasonally, the extent of observations that
can be made may be limited by the time of year in which the inspection took place.
I
I
lt must be realized that trees are living organisms, and their health and vigour continually change over
time due to seasonal variations, changes in site conditions, and other factors. For this reason, the
assessment presented in this report is valid at the time of inspection, and no guarantee is made about the
continued health oftrees that are deemed to be in good condition. lt is recommended that the trees be re-
assessed periodically. While every standing tree has the potential for failure and therefore poses some
risk, a tree assessment is a good indication of present health and potential problems that could arise in the
future.
I
I
Each tree is identified, sized, and assessed for condition. An overall rating was calculated for each tree
through examination of five factors: Roots, Trunk, Scaffold Branches, Small Branches and Twigs,
Foliage andlor Buds. Both structure and health are rated for roots, trunk, and scaffold branches. Small
branches and twigs, and foliage and/or buds are rated only for health The rating system is based on the
following scoring system:
No apparent problem 4
Minor problems 3
Major problems 2
Extreme problems I
Values are summed and divided by the possible total of 32 to express the condition rating as a percentage.
I
I
I
I
I
PURPOSE
To provide an updated inventory and condition assessment of the trees along Beech Avenue evaluated in
February of 2003 in the Old Bowmanville Neighbourhood. The assessment is meant to bring up to date
the previous inventory in the context of proposed road construction.
I
The following chart summarizes the observations made concerning species, size and condition for each
tree. The trees are numbered and recorded according to the original assessment, with new trees added.
Updates and differences in condition are included in bold text. In some cases, the same defect (such as
dead branches) is noted again in the update because action should be taken to correct the defect and
reduce risk. Trees B28 to B36 were not updated because they are closer to the Beech Centre and should
not be affected by work along Beech Avenue.

DISCUSSION
I
Structural Defects
Structural defects are often harmless when a tree is young, but can pose a problem when a tree grows
larger and the weight of branches puts added stress on defects that cause weakness. Also, the branches
and trunks of larger trees have the potential to cause more damage should they fail. Residential areas have
many potential targets (people and property) should a tree or branch fail, and therefore ongoing
maintenance and monitoring are important to minimize hazards.
I
Following is an explanation of some of the problems outlined in the Comments section and how they can
affect trees over time.
I
Girdling roots are roots that are crossing over each other or around the trunk of the tree. As the roots
grow larger, they can restrict the uptake of water and nutrients, and they can affect structural stability.
I
Included bark is bark that has become embedded in a crotch between limbs, weakening the attachment of
the branches. Narrow braru:h angles, especially when there is included bark, can be a problem when the
tree grows larger because there is poor attachment of inner wood. As the trunk and branch increase in
girth, the bark of the trunk and branch in the tight crotch begins to push apart and can eventually cause
failure of the branch. This situation is worse when the narrow angle is between codominant branches
(branches of approximately the same size), or when there are multiple branches from same point oj
attachment. Strong branch attachments occur between 2 limbs of unequal size with enough space for
branch enlargement and formation of the branch bark ridge.
I
I
Epicormic shoots arise from adventitious buds, usually after failure or pruning of branches. These
branches can be a problem when they become large, because typically they are weakly attached.
I
Crossing branches can eventually girdle each other, and usually have narrow attachment angles.
Strong trunks and branches are well tapered, distributing stress evenly along their length. Ifbranches are a
similar diameter along their length, they can be end-heavy and prone to breakage. Lion-tailing is pruning
that removes the small inner branches along a branch, leaving branches end-heavy with foliage only
towards the end of the branch.
I
I
Cankers and wounds on the trunk usually cause decay and reduce the strength of the wood. The severity
ofthe defect depends on the extent and location of decay, and the presence of other defects (for example
trunk decay is more serious if the tree leans). If there is a reasonable thickness of wood for a significant
portion of the circumference ofthe trunk, decay can be present with very little weakening of the trunk.
I
I
Sunken areas on the trunk under scaffold branches can be an indication of decay.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I
There are many trees which could potentially be impacted because oftheir proximity to the proposed road
and sidewalk and the work that will be required to build them. More specific comments could be made
regarding potential damage when preliminary design has been completed, however the following
recommendations and suggestions are intended to help prevent and minimize damage to trees.
I

I
Construction Management
The most typical construction damage to trees is root damage through compaction and severance. Root
loss can impact trees through compromising structural integrity and through restriction of nutrient uptake.
Trees that are very large are more susceptible to construction damage.
I
Especially with large trees, grade changes and construction activities that will cause soil compaction
should be kept as far away as possible from trees to avoid root damage which could compromise health as
well as structural stability. Where soil compaction in root zones cannot be avoided, measures should be
taken to reduce soil compaction. If disturbance of the root zones of trees will be significant, further
assessment should be done to ensure safety and continued health of the trees if they are retained.
I
I
The critical area to protect for continued stability of the tree is the main root plate, the area immediately
adjacent to the base of the trunk where structural roots flare out and anchor the tree. Ifroots must be cut
and it is questionable whether they are providing stability to the tree, an arborist should be on site to
assess potential damage and make recommendations, and if the stability of a tree is in question, it should
be removed.
I
I
The feeder roots of a mature tree in an open-grown situation typically grow out from the trunk up to 3
times the height of the tree. In urban environments, root space is more limited, and roots grow where
suitable conditions exist. Roots tend not to grow in compacted soil where there is little air space, such as
under sidewalks and roads. Most roots are typically found in the upper 30cm of soil where conditions for
root growth and nutrient uptake are optimal. During past construction along Beech Avenue, feeder roots
were encountered under the edge ofthe road starting at a depth of about 60cm. Protecting the feeder roots
of trees is important to ensure that nutrient uptake is not restricted. Diminished root function can lead to
death of branches or of the entire tree, but these symptoms can take several years to become evident.
I
I
Considering that roots will likely be damaged by construction work on the road side of many trees, it is
very important to minimize disturbance to the rest of the root Zone. Construction restrictions and
maintenance practices such as the following should be included in the contract for road reconstruction:
. If roots are severed, they should be cut cleanly with sharp pruning tools;
. Exposed roots should be protected from drying and compaction due to foot/vehicular traffic;
. No equipment should be driven over root zones, no materials should be stockpiled near trees, and
foot traffic should be limited especially during rainy periods when soil is more prone to
compaction;
. Road surface should be left in place until replacement to avoid compaction of roots that may be
present below the surface;
. Geotextile should be used under road base to reduce compaction of subsurface soil;
. Tree protection fencing should be erected and maintained where appropriate to ensure that these
restrictions are adhered to.
I
I
I
I
I
Branch Pruning
Dead branches could fail at any time. Several trees should be pruned to remove dead branches as noted by
shading and comments in the chart. For healthy branches that are likely to be damaged by construction
equipment, it is better to remove them before construction so that bark is not tom and wounds are not
more extensive than absolutely necessary. All pruning should be carried out according to accepted
arboriculture practices.

I
Removal Recommended
Linden B4 could be pruned to reduce the weight of the crown and therefore reduce the stress on the
weakened portion of the trunk, but the condition of the canker and the trunk lean that has been caused by

it will continue to worsen. The Jikely direction of failure would cause the tree to fall OVer the sidewalk
and the house, so damage could be quite significant, especially as the tree grows Jarger. Rather than
accept the risk associated with the tree, it is recommended that this tree be removed and then replaced
following construction.
New Trees
The newly pJanted trees (No. New 1-3) will have fairly limited root zones and impact from road
reconstruction should be minimal. However, care should be taken to not make grade changes close to the
root zone, and machinery should not be Jeft to idle near the trees. If significant impact can not be avoided,
the new trees could be transplanted.
Root Damage Prevention
The most likely potential damage to the trees along Beech A venue due to road reconstruction is to the
roots. Usually roots do not extend under paved areas such as roads and sidewalks because roots need air
space to grow, and compaction under hard surfaces Jimits air space to the point that there is very little
opportunity for root growth. A soil report has indicated that there is topsoil present under the concrete
road base, so there may be some roots present under the roadway. This is most likely for the larger trees
along the east side of the street because the trees are particularly large and close to the road, and they have
had plenty of time to expand their rooting zone under the street as their need for rooting space has
increased. During excavation to install a sewer pipe on Beech A venue several years ago, roots were
observed in the soil layer under the concrete road base. Compaction and disturbance of this area should be
avoided if possible.
The large trees are of the greatest concern because they have the biggest impact on the character of the
street, they are more susceptible to construction damage, and they are less able to recover from damage
than smaller trees. Both structural and feeder roots are of concern. The depth of excavation is not as
important as the location of excavation, because most roOls are in the top 30cm of soil. (Whether the
excavation is 30cm depth to install a sidewalk or several metres to install services, the damage can be the
same.) Excavation should be kept as far as possible from the large trees to minimize root damage.
For prevention of root damage, possible options to consider in roadway design and construction include:
. Keep the utility trenches as far as possible towards the west side of the road away from the
particularJy large trees,
. Use alternate base materials with Jess compaction requirements
. AJter construction methods to avoid compaction to subgrade under road if rools are present
. Use only hand or vacuum excavation in close proximity to trees
It is recommended that an arborist be on site during excavation to observe the extent of roots nnder
the roadway and further assess potential root damage. The Contractor should be aware that
excavation may need to be slowed during this time, and that construction methods may be altered
ou site during the construction process.
Streetscape Renewal Tree Planting
It is recommended that new trees be planted following construction where space is available. Tree No. B4
(Linden) to be removed should be replaced. Suggested species: Copper Beech.
It is recommended that a Red Oak be pJanted near the street in front of the Clarington Beech Centre, and
Hawthorn and Ivory SiJk Lilac trees be planted at the north end of the street where space is available (one
at36 Beech, 2 at39 Beech).
