5 10.3. Installation Procedures Sod shall be placed by hand with close joints and no overlapping. All spaces between sections of sod, openings at angles, and similar gaps shall be plugged with sod. After laying, the sod shall be thoroughly watered and then tamped with an approved sod tamper or rolled sufficiently to incorporate the sod with the sod bed and insure tight joints between the sections of strips. Rolling shall not be done to the extent that it causes excessive compaction. Any voids, openings, or crevices before and after tamping or rolling shall be filled with topsoil. Upon completion of the above work, the surface of the sodded area shall coincide with the finish grade and shall be flush with other grassed areas. 10.4. Protection of Sod Prior to Handover It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to repair any damage, to newly sodded and established grass areas, at the sole cost to the Contractor until the work area has been turned over to OWNER or AGENT. Following the sodding operations within an area of disturbance and after the planted area(s) has been accepted by OWNER or AGENT, the maintenance and watering of these areas will be the responsibility of OWNER or AGENT. The Contractor accepts responsibility for repairing any damage caused by drainage problems, irrigation breaks and run-off, as result to the construction means and methods of the Contractor until the area has been accepted by OWNER or AGENT. Contractor will be required to repair damaged areas, so the repaired area(s) match the surrounding turf conditions in terms of both plant population and quality of turf. Contractor may be required to install sod within the damaged areas. If, after the third mowing by OWNER or AGENT problems arise or are perceived, in any grassed areas, which are related to construction methods used on the project, the Contractor is responsible for repair of these areas. All areas disturbed as a result of construction works shall be restored to their original condition or to the desired new appearance as directed by OWNER or AGENT. 11. SAND PLACEMENT After the entire bunker is lined using the above procedures, sodding has been completed and written approval given, the Contractor will clean the cavity with a hand blower to remove all foreign debris. Absolutely no loose soil shall remain in the bunker cavity prior to sand placement. NO SAND WILL BE PLACED IN BUNKER UNTIL OWNER OR AGENT HAS APPROVED IN WRITING THE SOD, BUNKER LINING INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF ALL DEBRIS. After approval, the sand shall be spread evenly throughout at a minimum compacted depth of four (4) inches on slopes and six (6) inches on the bottom of the cavity. Contractor will spread the sand against the bunker edges upon completing the installation of the sand in the specific bunker. Should machines be used to spread bunker sand, care must be taken to avoid any damage to the polymer bound gravel layer. Machines entering bunkers for sand installation must sit atop a minimum of twelve (12) inches of bunker sand and plywood. Contractor must protect the vertical bunker edges at all times when dumping sand along the bunker edges. After spreading, all sand shall be water settled and compacted with a hand operated compaction machine. If any sand bunker has less than four (4) inches of sand, the Contractor shall be responsible for installing additional sand to meet specifications on sand depth. The Contractor is responsible for controlling and removing any vegetative growth or contamination within sand bunkers during construction. 12. PROJECT SCHEDULE The project is anticipated to begin in mid-September 2024 and be completed by the end of October 2024. Docusign Envelope ID: 06528EA8-C8FB-4176-8C2E-D53F24B897F0
