§ 25-76. Method and specifications for repair.

(a)

All backfilling materials shall be free from lumps, large rocks, boulders or other foreign material and debris if not located in or under a street. Any backfilling material in or under a street shall be approved sand, rock or cement stabilized sand (one-sack mix).

(b)

All excavation, alteration, backfill and repairs shall be made in conformance with the city's paving, drainage, water and sewer specifications on file in the offices of the city, unless in exceptional circumstances, when in the judgment of the city, modifications will be necessary to ensure and protect the best interests of the city.

(c)

If reasonable doubt exists as to the compacted density of any backfill, the city may require density tests to be run at a reputable testing laboratory. If the material tested fails to meet compaction requirements (ninety-five (95) percent Modified Proctor), the expense of the testing shall be borne by the contractor performing the work, and he shall take immediate action to correct all deficiencies, or, if the questionable area, after testing, is shown to meet compaction requirements, the cost of the test shall be borne by the city.
