Conditions, Supplementary General Conditions, Special Provisions, and drawings or plans. "Contractor" - The firm responsible for all elements of construction. In this regard, the Contractor's responsibility includes but is not limited to: overexcavation and subgrade preparation; preparation of the supporting surfaces (generally soil) for the geosynthetic installation; installation of the geosynthetics; and placing earth materials over the installed synthetic systems. The Contractor is further responsible for all activities of Subcontractors including but not limited to the geosynthetics Subcontractor. "Geomembrane" - An essentially impermeable synthetic material used as an integral part of a cover system. It is sometimes referred to as a FML, sheet, or panel. For this project, the geomembrane consists of VFPE. " Geo synthetics" - A generic classification given to synthetic (man-made plastic and fabric) materials used in geotechnical and construction applications. Included are geomembrane liners, geotextiles, geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), geocomposites, geogrids, geocomposites and geocells. For this project, the term geosynthetics is used to refer to the geomembrane, geocomposite and geotextiles. "Geosynthetic Subcontractor" - The firm, if other than the Prime Contractor, responsible for handling, storing, placing, seaming, and other aspects of the installation of the geosynthetics included in the cover system. "Geotechnical CQA Officer" - The individual or firm serving under the direction of the Geotechnical CQA Consultant and responsible for the day to day geotechnical Construction Quality Assurance (CQA). The Geotechnical CQA Officer shall be a registered civil engineer or a certified engineering geologist with specific experience in managing landfill final cover construction projects. "Geotechnical CQA Monitors" - The individuals working under the direction of the Geotechnical CQA Officer who are routinely involved in the construction process. Such personnel include "Geotechnical Technicians", "Field Engineers" and "Field Geologists" representing the Geotechnical CQA Consultant. CQA Monitors shall be experienced in landfill construction monitoring, compaction observation and testing during grading operations, and geosynthetic material observation, monitoring and documentation. "Geotechnical CQA Consultant" - Geotechnical firm responsible for the design and specifications for earthwork and geosynthetic elements of the Project Drawings and Specifications. The Geotechnical CQA Consultant or his/her representative is also responsible for observing, testing, and documenting activities related to quality assurance for all geotechnical and geosynthetic aspects of construction except for engineering and survey control. All completed is geotechnical work is subject to approval by the Geotechnical CQA Consultant. -3- CA2001-048TINAL COVER_CQA.D0C\08/20/01 Geologic Associates
