Each course shall be thoroughly tamped or rolled, and shall be firm and uniform or backfilling may be made as directed by the Road Supervisor.
Material satisfactory to the Road Supervisor shall be used as the final course, so there will be a firm and solid surface. In no case shall the material so placed be allowed to project above or below the grade of the road as originally established. All surplus material shall be removed in a manner satisfactory to the Road Supervisor. The permit holder shall maintain the berm over the trench in a manner acceptable to the Road Supervisor for the period of one year.
If the work performed is under the pavement, it will be required that any portions removed in excavating or damaged in the progress of the work, with the exception of the road base and surface, shall be replaced in accordance with the above section. It is required that the permit holder notify the Road Supervisor of the day on which the opening of the pavement will be made, also the time of completion of the backfill.
