520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Examines the problem of co-ordinating and measuring earthworks on highway contracts. Suggests making it clear in the works preamble that the work will be measured as billed, regardless of the contractors chosen method of undertaking the work, to avoid later conflicts. Gives advice on general measurement, classification of materials, assessing acceptable material, rendering unacceptable material acceptable, and soft spots and other voids. Concludes MMHW/MMRW provides an adequate method of measuring earthworks, providing it is remembered that it is not an exact science. Any variance in the balance between acceptable and unacceptable materials can disrupt the contractor's programme and lead to claims for extra costs.
