- A contractor has bid on two different earthmoving/compacted fill projects. One project involves cohesionless soil, the other cohesive soil. The volume of soil to be excavated, transported, and compacted is similar for both projects. All working conditions are similar for both projects. The contractor’s bid for compacted fill on the cohesive soil project is 50 percent greater than on the cohesionless soil project. Indicate whether the contractor’s bidding practice is proper or not, and why.arrow_forwardFor an earth-moving project, the contractor is required to locate a source of off-site borrow soil to use for compacted fill. Two possible sources are found; the cost of purchase and hauling from either will be comparable. At location A, the soil is a silt–clay material and is found to have a natural moisture content in the 10- to 20-percent range. At location B, the soil is also cohesive and is found to have a natural water content in the 30- to 40-percent range. The contractor selects location A.
