5D-1 Earthwork Deliverables for Plan Turn-in
Section 20B-71 discusses the electronic files required for plan turn-in. Included with those files are the related electronic earthwork files discussed in this section.
Electronic Earthwork Files
Along with the .pdf files submitted for plan turn-in the T Sheet Excel Spreadsheet, CADD files with cut/fill meshes, and ORD earthwork reports should be included as part of the E-Files submittal.
Legend Sheets (T.1 Sheets)
The T Sheets will include at a minimum two sheets for detailing the typical earthwork components in the project. Projects with both urban and rural cross sections will likely require additional sheets. Designers should use the provided legend sheets from Methods, and tailor the sheets to fit individual project as needed. The first page shows unadjusted and adjusted Class 10 areas for both cut and fill situations. The second page includes the plus cuts (+C), minus cuts (-C), plus fills (+F), and minus fills (-F), as well as bid items and explanations.
Calculation Sheets (T.2 Sheets)
The remaining T Sheets originate in the T Sheet Calculation File. They will normally begin with T.2, or T.2A (T Sheets with more columns may require an A and B sheet). The Designer will fill in the column equations on the first sheet and bid item equations their origins on the final summary sheet.

5D-2 Bidding Contractor Furnished Borrow
Bidding
If the amount of contractor furnished borrow exceeds 10,000 cubic yards, use the Embankment-in-Place, Contractor Furnished bid item.
If the amount of contractor furnished borrow is less than 10,000 cubic yards, use the Embankment-in-Place bid item. Masterworks has a default Estimate Reference Note indicating the embankment is contractor provided. This item does not require the testing and approval involved with the contractor furnished item above.
Bid material that cannot or should not be placed in the fill using either the Excavation, Class 10, Waste or the Excavation, Class 13, Waste bid item. Include a note informing the contractor that wasting of material can only be done when it is clear more than enough fill is available for the roadway unless there is no desire to use it as fill.
| On projects with Contractor Furnished Embankment or Contractor Furnished Select Treatment, or a combination of Contractor Furnished Embankment and Contractor Furnished Select Treatment, greater than 50,000 cubic yards, coordinate with the Design Bureau Plan Review section and ODAC to post the A, B, D, E, H, and T sheets 4 to 6 months ahead of the letting (often at DM5 Turn-in) to allow contractors time to seek out borrow sources. Industry recognizes estimates may be very preliminary and are subject to change. Plans should be initially sent to the Plan Review group. With the Plan Review approval, ODAC will publish the sheets. |

Earthwork Sheets
The earthwork T sheets will show the placement areas available below 3 and 5 feet and above 20 feet for unsuitable materials. Subtotals will be provided at the end of each alignment or stage. A summary of each stage will be shown listing each material to be placed and what borrow/waste for that stage is.
Overhaul is no longer calculated or shown.
Plan Sheets
Plan and profile sheets no longer show earthwork balance information.
