covering and heating. No chemicals or other materials
shall be used in the mix to lower the freezing point of
the concrete.
1 . Forms shall be removed only after concrete has
attained sufficient strength to support its own
weight, construction live loads placed thereon, and
lateral loads, all without excessive deflection or
damage to the structures. See ACI 347 "Recommended
Practice for Concrete Formwork" for detailed
discussion of form removal .

TREE AND SHRUB PRESERVATION
SPECIFICATIONS
Foreword. Due to the high expense of follow-up care necessary to
offset construction damage to trees, shrubs, and soils, and the
importance of our tree and shrub collections to the overall quality
of life on our campus, it is -expected that every effort will be
made to eliminate construction damage .
1. CLEARING, GRUBBING, AND REMOVAL
1.1. All trees and shrubs, unless noted to remain, shall be-cut
and removed in their entirety. All stumps, brush, vegetation,
rubbish and other perishable or objectionable matter shall be

of trees and shrubs tc be sated. Promptly upon completion of
layout work and before any clearing or other construction work is
begun on the site, the Contractor shall arrange a conference on the
site with the Project Manager and the Director of the Botanic
Garden or his/her designate to identify and mark trees and areas of
trees and shrubs which are to remain. After the conference, the
Contractor shall erect sturdy, temporary fencing along the work
area limits, separating it From protected areas. Minimum distances
from protected trees shall be to the outer drip lines around each
tree or group of trees and shrubs. Sensitive species may require
fencing at even greater distances from the main trunk. Do no
clearing without a clear understanding of existing conditions to be
preserved.
1 .3 . Limits of clearing shall be those areas defined by the limits
of cut and fill . Removal of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous
perennials outside those areas shall be done only as noted on the
drawings and as approved by the Project Manager and the Director of
the Botanic Garden .
1 .4 . Fell trees in such a way as to not injure trees to be saved. .
A representative of the Botanic Garden shall designate trees that
are to be carefully topped rather than felled. No trees shall be
go removed until authorized by the Botanic Garden representative .

trees shall be effectively protected by timbers placed
as protective housing. Particular care shall be taken
in the use! of heavy machinery during excavation
Ww operations: to prevent injury to roots and branches .
E. Any damage done to existing tree crowns or root systems,
P. including compensatory pruning for root loss, shall be
repaired immediately by an approved tree surgeon at the
direction of the Owner at no cost to the Owner.
