Clearing and grubbing work that is directed by the Engineer to be performed on areas beyond the limits initially staked and/or areas outside the limits of right of way or easements shown in the original plans will be measured by the acre. All measurements will be made horizontally.
All materials which the Contractor has been directed to excavate from the location below the finished graded roadway section will be classified as undercut excavation and will be measured separately in accordance with Article 2257 except for the following.
1. Rock in the bottom of cuts which has been excavated 1 foot or less below the roadbed and ditches.
2. In cut areas, undercut excavation will be limited to excavation removed below the roadbed, removed below the inside slopes of roadway ditches, and removed below the bottom of flat bottom roadway ditches.
All work covered by this section will be paid for at the contract lump-sum price for "Grading" except as otherwise provided below.
Clearing and grubbing work that is directed by the Engineer to be performed on areas outside the limits originally staked or beyond the limits of the right of way or easements shown on the original plans will be paid for at the contract unit price per acre for "Supplementary Clearing and Grubbing". Where the contract does not include this item, a unit price per acre will be established by supplemental agreement.
The quantity of undercut excavation, measured as provided in Article 2263, will be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard for "Undercut Excavation". No separate payment will be made for materials utilized in backfilling the undercut areas as payment at the contract unit price per cubic yard for "Undercut Excavation" will be full compensation for furnishing such material.
