HalffAssociates arrived on site at approximately 9:30 am on October 27 for construction
observation. At the 60" RCP site at Fritz Drive and Freeport Parkway, 2 dump tracks
were unloading native material from the excavation of the box culvert trench at.
Southwestern and Freeport Parkway. At this time about 14 or 15 truck loads had been
dumped on top of the 60" RCP alignment. No other equipment was on-site. The last
joint on each oft. he 60" RCP lines was exposed. The headwall has not been constructed
at this time. At the 8'x 5' box culvert site, approximately one-third of the box culvert
sections have been installed starting at the down stream end. Most of the sections that
have been installed have also been backiilled with native material and compacted. The
large backhoe was excavating the trench and placing the box culvert sections into the
french. The excavated material was being stockpiled next to the trench where the front-
end loader was loading this material into the 2 dump trucks. The front-end loader was
also dumping the rock embedment into the trench before each cuIvert section was placed
in the trench. The dozer was spreading native material over the placed box culvert
sections and a sheep's foot roller was compacting the native material. The small backhoe
with a roller attached to the end of it was being used to compact the native material
between the box culvert and the trench wall. Two crew members were in thc trench
spreading the rock embedment with shovels and sealing the joints. All joints on the
exposed sections appeared to be sealed. Two sections of the box culvert remained
exposed on the down stream end where it will connect to a headwall. Surveyor's
equipment was set up on site.

!i! i. 60" RCP lines was exposed. Thc headwall has not been constructed at this time. At the
8'x 5' box culvert site, approximately 90% of the box culvert sections have been installed
from the down stream end to Freeport Parkway along Southwestern. Most of the sections
. that have been installed have also been backfilled with native material and compacted.
Thc large backhoe was excavating the trench and placing the box culvert sections into the
trench. The excavated material was being stockpiled next to thc trench where the front-
end loader was loading this material into the dump Iruck. The front-end loader was also
