construction.
D5.1.5 Access Roads
(a) Prepare design drawings and specifications for the construction of perimeter access road for
Area B, based on the Preliminary Design of waste disposal cells and Surface Water Management Plan
for Area B.
Construction of the perimeter access road shall be tendered in the same contract as the waste
disposal cell contract.
(b) Prepare preliminary design drawings for the construction of ‘phased’ internal access roads to
waste disposal cells within Area B, based on the Fill Sequencing Plan for Area B. A road to the top

tendered for construction will depend on estimated price relative to available capital construction
budget.

for Area B, based on the Preliminary Design of waste disposal cells and revised Surface Water
Management Plan for Area B.
