There is a project that needs to raise the site level by 4 feet. To accomplish this they are trucking in soil and aggregate and spreading it down prior to construction of the foundation. Do I need to include this soil as a material cost? This falls under spec section 31 05 00 - Earthwork soils/aggregate and 31 23 00 - Fill. The only reference I can find int he guidebook is to spec section 31 60 00 - Foundations which leads me to think that I do not need to include this soil in any cost calculations for recycled content or regional materials. Is this correct?

Crista, in addition to 31 60 00 you need to include 32 10 00, 32 30 00, and 32 90 00. If the soil falls outside of these (as well as 03–10), then you don't need to include it.
