Background:
Based on the survey and design work for the Ward Road project, minimal grading was anticipated to widen the road and match existing ground outside the roadway area. However, during construction, several site specific conditions were observed during rain events that indicated additional grading would be necessary to create positive drainage along the project.
Sod was called for in the plans to restore grass along this project because most of the areas were residential lots or residential common areas. The additional grading for drainage disturbed larger areas, so the sod quantities were increased to restore turf in those areas added to the project. These grading site adjustments during construction and increased sod quantities are captured in this change order.
