Caution tape is not considered to be a barricade and is not acceptable as barricade substitutes. B. If necessary, the Contractor shall provide continuous on-site inspection of the newly poured concrete until it is set to a point beyond potential damage by vandals. C. The work will consist of saw cutting and/or removing existing concrete, asphalt, topsoil, tree roots or other objects in the way of the designated line and grade of the proposed concrete. The Contractor shall be responsible for having a mechanical plate tamper on-site and he shall firmly compact each surface upon which concrete is to be poured with that tamper. The Contractor shall saw cut existing concrete edges as indicated at each job site. Broken existing edges shall not be acceptable. The estimated budget is $40,000.
