to submitting any bid, to read carefully the specifications, contract
and bonds, to examine carefully all plans, profiles, and estimates on file
with the official as set out in the "Notice to Contractors," to visit
the site of the work to examine carefully local conditions, to inform
themselves by their independent research and soundings of the difficulties
to be encountered, and to judge for themselves the accessibility of
the work and the quantities and character of the materials to be encountered
and all attending circumstances affecting the cost of doing the work and
the time specified for its completion; and to obtain all information
required to make an intelligent bid.
Bidders shall rely exclusively upon their surveys, estimates, investigations

ment that all bids are made with the full knowledge of the difficulties
and conditions that may be encountered, the kind, quantity and quality
of the plans, work to be done, excavation, and materials required, and
with full knowledge of the plans, profiles, specifications and estimates

the bid.
2. APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE OF QUANTITIES. The Engineer's estimate of
quantities, approved by the Owner, and on file in the office of the official
as set out in the "Notice to Contractors," is approximate only, and shall
be the basis for receiving unit price bids for each item, but shall not be
considered by the bidders as the actual quantities that may be required for
the completion of the proposed work. Such quantities, however, at the unit
price bid for each item, shall determine the amount of each bid for com-
parison of bids, and determine the low bidders for the purpose of awarding
the contract, and will be used as a basis for fixing the amount of the
required bonds.
3. FAMILIARITY WITH LAWS, ETC. The bidder is presumed to be familiar with
all state and city laws, ordinances and regulations which in any manner
affect those engaged or employed in the work, or the materials or equipment
used, or in any way affecting the work, and shall in all respects comply
with said laws, ordinances and regulations. No claim of misunderstanding

the provisions of the contract. No representations shall be binding unless
embodied in the contract.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
SCOPE AND INTENT OF SPECIFICATIONS AND PLANS.
The specifications and plans are intended to supplement but not neces-
sarily duplicate each other, and together constitute one complete set of
specifications and plans, so that any work exhibited in one and not the other,
shall be executed just as it had been set forth in both, in order that the
work shall be completed according to the complete design or designs as
decided and determined by the Engineers. Should anything be omitted from the
specifications and plans which is necessary to a clear understanding of the
work, or should it appear various instructions are in conflict, then the
Contractor shall secure written instructions from the Engineers before pro-
ceeding with the construction affected by such omissions or discrepancies.
It is understood and agreed that the work shall be performed and completed
according to the true spirit, meaning and intent of the contract, specifica-
tions and plans.
ENGINEERS.
Engineers shall mean the firm of McCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
who have been employed by the Owner for this work, or their duly authorized
agents, such agents acting severally within the scope of the particular duties
entrusted to them, whose decisions shall, in all cases, be subject to final
approval by the Engineers. In all matters pertaining to the status or amount
of the contract, orders issued by the Engineers and signed by the representa-
tive of the Owner shall be valid.
FIGURED DIMENSIONS.
Figured dimensions, when given in the plans, shall be accurately
followed, even though they differ from scaled measurements. No work shown
on the plans, the dimensions of which are not figured, shall be executed,
until instructions have been obtained from the Engineers as to the dimensions
to be used. Large scale and full size drawings shall be followed in pre-
ference to small scale drawings.

' Engineer, or done without the supervision of an inspector or other representa-
tive of the Engineer, maybe ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's
cost and expense.
PRESERVATION OF MONUMENTS AND STAKES.
The Contractor shall carefully preserve all monuments, bench marks,
reference points and stakes, and in case of willful or careless destruction
of the same, he will be charged with the resulting expense of replacement,
and shall be responsible for any mistakes or loss of time that may be caused
' by their unnecessary loss or disturbance. In the event that the stakes and
marks placed by the Engineer are destroyed through carelessness on the part of
the Contractor, and that the destruction of these stakes and marks causes a
delay in the work, the Contractor shall have no claim for damages or exten-
t sions of time. In the case of any permanent monuments or bench marks which
must of necessity be removed or disturbed in the construction of the work,
the Contractor shall carefully protect and preserve the same until they can
' be properly referenced and relocated. The Contractor shall also furnish at
his own expense such materials and assistance as are necessary for the proper
replacement of monuments or bench marks that have been moved or destroyed.
SANITARY REGULATIONS.
In general, the operations of the Contractor shall be in full conformity
with all of the rules and regulations of boards and bodies having jurisdiction
with respect to sanitation. Necessary sanitary provisions for the use of the
laborers on the work, convenient and properly secluded from observation, shall
' be erected and maintained by the Contractor in such manner and at such points
as shall be'approved. The use of such conveniences shall be strictly enforced
so there will be no trespassing on private property. These places shall be
I. kept in as good sanitary condition as possible, and the contents shall be
buried or removed and disposed of according to the best sanitary practices as
often as may be necessary to prevent a nuisance.

shall constitute an acceptance of work not done in accordance with the Con-
tract Documents or relieve the Contractor of liability in respect to any
express warranties or responsibility for faulty materials or workmanship.

times and places subject to the inspection of the Engineer who shall be the
final judge of the quality and suitability of the work, materials, processes

obliterate all form marks. The use of mortar with the rubbing
will not be permitted. Rubbing with water will be permissible.
CONCRETE
rete shall be poured without the Enoineer or his representati
being present. Concrete shall be placed within thirty minutes after the
mixing time has elapsed. It shall be so deposited that the mortar and coarse
aggregate are not separated. Dropping the concrete any considerable distance,
depositing large quantities at any point and running or working it along the
form or any other practice tending to cause segregation of the ingredients
will not be allowed. It shall be compacted by vibrating, continuous tamping,
spading -or slicing. Care shall be taken to fill every part of the forms,
to work the coarser aggregate back from the face, and to force the concrete.
under and around the reinforcement without displacing it. Whenever practi-
cable, concrete work shall be deposited continuously for each monolithic

floors and small dimension work shall be placed full thickness. Mass con-
crete shall be placed in continuous horizontal layers. No concrete shall
be placed under water unless approval of the Engineer is obtained previous
to commencement of pouring concrete. When depositing in water is allowed,
the concrete shall be carefully placed in the space in which it is to remain
in a compact mass by means of a tremie, bottom dumping bucket or other
approved method that does not permit the concrete to fall through the water
without adequate protection. Concrete shall be placed under water only in
forms which are reasonably water -tight and shall not be disturbed after being
deposited.
CURING OF CONCRETE
Concrete not protected by form work shall be cured by covering with
burlap, sand, earth or other suitable material approved by the Engineer, or
by ponding. Regardless of the form of curing used, the covering shall be
placed as soon as practicable after the concrete has obtained its final set.
The curing will cover a seven day period dating from the time the concrete
is deposited and the covering shall be kept saturated throughout the entire
period. Normal curing operations may be dispensed with during periods when
the air temperature falls below 45°F.
COLD WEATHER CONCRETING
Concreting operations will not be permitted when a descending air
temperature falls below 400F, nor resumed until an ascending air temperature
reaches 35°F, without specific authority from the Engineer.
When operations are authorized under such conditions, or when it is
anticipated that the air temperature will fall below 40OF before the concrete
has taken its final set, the Contractor shall furnish sufficient canvas and
framework, or other type of housing . to enclose and protect the structure
in such a way that the air surrounding the fresh concrete can be kept at a
temperature of not less than 40OF for a period of at least five days after
the concrete is placed.
Sufficient heating apparatus such as stoves, salamanders, or steam
equipment, and fuel to furnish the required heat, shall be supplied. "Spot"
heating will not be permitted. All water used for mixing concrete shall be
heated to a temperature of at least 700F, but not over 1500F. Aggregate shall
be heated either by steam or dry heat, to a temperature of at least 700F,
but not over 1500F. The heating apparatus shall be such as to heat the
mass uniformly and preclude the possibility of the occurrence of hot spots
which will burn the material. The temperature of the mixed concrete shall
not be less than 60OF when placed in the forms. As a means of accelerating
the final set and subsequent curing of the concrete, from three and one-half
to four pounds of calcium chloride per sack of cement used per batch may be
incorporated in the concrete mixture. The use of calcium chloride as an
accelerator will be permitted only when such use is specifically approved by
the Engineer.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
WATER AND SEWER PIPE LAYING
GENERAL
All pipe shall be of the type, weight, class and/or designed working
pressure shown on the plans, set out in the GENERAL and DETAILED SPECIFICA-
TIONS or as set out in the Proposal and accepted by the Owner. The Contractor
shall, unless otherwise specified, furnish all equipment, tools and labor
necessary to do the work required under this contract, haul and distribute
all pipe, castings, fittings, valves, hydrants and excavate the trenches and
pits to the required dimensions; excavate the bell holes; construct and main-
tain all bridges for traffic; sheet, brace and support the adjoining ground
or structures where necessary; handle all drainage or ground water; provide
barricades, guards and warning lights; lay and test the pipe, castings, fit-
tings, valves, hydrants and accessories, backfill and consolidate the trenches
and pits; restore the roadway surface unless otherwise stipulated; remove
surplus excavated material; clean the site of the work; and maintain the
street or other surface over the trenches as specified.
The Contractor shall also furnish all equipment, tools, labor and
materials required to rearrange branch connections to main sewers, or to
rearrange sewers, conduits, ducts, pipes or other structures in accordance
with the contract drawings and stipulations included therein.
EXCAVATION AND PREPARATION OF TRENCH
The trench shall e dug so that the pipe can be laid to the alignment
and depth required, and it shall be excavated only so far in advance of pipe
laying as specified or permitted by the Engineer. The trench shall be so
braced and drained that the workmen may work therein safely and efficiently.
It is essential that the discharge of the trench dewatering pumps be con-
ducted to natural drainage channels, drains or sewers.
(a) Alignment and Grade - The water and sewer pipes shall be laid
and maintained to the required lines and grades with fittings,
valves and hydrants at the required locations; spigots centered in
bells; and all valves and hydrant stems plumb.
(1) Deviations Occasioned by Other Structures - Wherever obstruc-
tions not sown on the pans are encountered during the progress
of the work and interfere to such an extent that an alteration in
the plan is required, the Engineer shall have the authority to
change the plans and order a deviation from the line and grade or
arrange with the Owners of the structures for the removal, reloca-
tion or reconstruction of the obstructions.
(2) Caution in Excavation - The Contractor shall proceed with
caution in the excavation and preparation of the trench so that
the exact location of underground structures, both known and
unknown, may be determined, and he shall be held responsible for
the repair of such structures when broken or otherwise damaged
because of carelessness on his part.

' Water and Sewer Pipe Laying - 2
(3) Depth of Pipe - All pipe shall be laid to the depth shown on
the contract drawings or as required in the DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS.
Any variation therefrom shall be made only at the order of the
Engineer.
' (b) Classification - Trench excavation may be classified as "Unclas-
sified Excavation," "Earth Excavation," or "Rock Excavation."
Proposal and contract shall mean all material excavated and pay-
' ment shall be made in accordance with measurements as herein
provided.
When trench excavation other than "Unclassified Excavation" is
specified, it shall be classified as either "Earth Excavation" or
"Rock Excavation."
1 Rock excavation shall comprise rock in formations in the original
bed, or well defined ledges, or detached solid masses of stone
more than one-half (z) cubic yard in volume, which cannot be
' excavated, loosened or removed by any process other than by drilling
and blasting. No soft or disintegrated rock which can be removed
with a pick, or rock that has been broken, or previously blasted,
or broken stone in rock filling or elsewhere, will be classified as
1 rock excavation. This classification shall not be extended to
include materials which can be removed by means other than drilling
and blasting but which for reasons of economy in excavation, the
' Contractor prefers to remove by drilling and blasting.
Earth excavation shall comprise all other materials, wet or dry, to
' be excavated and removed other than those described as rock
excavation.
(c) Width of Trench - The width of the trench shall be ample to permit
' the pipe to be laid and jointed properly, and the backfill to be
placed and compacted as specified. Trenches shall be of such extra
width, when required, as will permit the convenient_ placing of
ttimber supports, sheeting and bracing, and handling of specials.
(d) Bell Holes - The bottom of the trench under each bell shall be
excavated sufficiently to allow the pipe to rest throughout its
length. Bell hole excavation shall also be sufficient to allow
proper placing of the joint compound, where joint compound is used.
No weight of dirt or pipe shall be supported by the bell of the pipe
' (e) Pipe Clearance in Rocks - Ledge rock, boulders and large stones
shall be removed to provide a clearance of at least six (6") inches
below and on each side of all pipe, valves and fittings for pipes
24 inches in diameter or less, and nine (9") inches for pipes larger
than 24 inches in diameter. Except in wet locations (see "Wet Exca-
vation") the trench shall then be refilled with sand to an even sur-
' face for pipe to rest upon throughout its length. Every trench in
rock shall be fully opened at least fifty (50) feet in advance of
the place where pipe is being laid or concrete or masonry work is
' in progress.

are the minimum clear distances
any part of the pipe and appurte-
projection or point of such rock,
(f) Excavation to Grade - The trench shall be excavated to the depth
required so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and
support for the pipe on solid and undisturbed ground at every point
between bell holes, except that it will be permissible to disturb
and otherwise damage the finished surface over a maximum length of
18 inches near the middle of each length of pipe by the withdrawal
of pipe slings or other lifting tackle. Any part of the bottom
of the trench excavated below the specified grade shall be corrected
with approved material, thoroughly compacted as directed by the
Engineer. The finished subgrade shall be prepared accurately by
means of hand tools.
The subgrade beneath the centerline of the pipe shall be finished to
within 0.03 feet of a straight line between pipe joints or batter
boards, and all tolerances shall be above the specified grade.
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, soil conditions are encountered
at subgrade which require all or part of the work to be done in
accordance with Paragraph (g) below, the Engineer shall have the
authority to order the work to be so done, and the Contractor will
be allowed extra compensation for the additional work.
(g) Excavation Below Grade - The trench shall be excavated to at least
three- 3' inches and not more than six (6") inches below the spec-
ified grade.. Before the pipe is laid, the subgrade shall be made
by backfilling with an approved material in 3 -inch uncompacted
layers. The layers shall be thoroughly tamped as directed by the
Engineer so as to provide a uniform and continuous bearing and
support for the pipe at every point between bell holes.
(h) Excavation in Poor Soil and Refilling to Grade - Where the bottom
of the trench at subgrade is found to be unstable or to include
ashes, cinders, all types of refuse, vegetable or other organic
materials, or large pieces or fragments of inorganic material which
in the judgment of the Engineer should be removed, the Contractor
shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the width
and depth ordered by the Engineer. Before the pipe is laid, the
subgrade shall be made by backfilling with an approved material in
3 -inch uncompacted layers. The layers shall be thoroughly tamped
as directed by the Engineer so as to provide a uniform and continuou
bearing and support for the pipe at every point between bell holes.
(i) Special Foundation in Poor Soil - Where the bottom of the trench at
subgrade is found to consist of material which is unstable to such
a degree that, in the opinion of the Engineer, it cannot be removed
and replaced with an approved material thoroughly compacted in place

to support the pipe properly, the Contractor shall construct a
foundation for the pipe, consisting of piling, timbers, or other
materials, in accordance with plans prepared by the Engineer.
Extra compensation will be allowed for the additional work.
(j) Subgrade in Rock Trenches - Where excavation is made in rock or
boulders and the clearance specified in Paragraph (e) above is
provided, the subgrade shall be made by backfilling with an approved
material in three-inch uncompacted layers. The layers shall be
thoroughly tamped as directed by the Engineer so as to provide a
uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe at every
point between bell holes. Bedding condition shall be Type B or
F, as prescribed by the American National Standards Institute.
(k) Wet Excavation - When water or unstable soil is encountered in the
bottom of the trench, the Contractor will be required to excavate
below grade a minimum of six inches, and the trench will be brought
back to grade with clean crushed rock or gravel. Payment for over -
excavation and placing of the crushed rock may or may not be paid
for, depending upon the terms of the agreement between the Contrac=.
tor and the Owner, as stipulated in the DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS.
The Contractor shall provide sufficient pumps and other necessary
equipment to keep the trench free of water which may accumulate.
(1) Appurtenances - Unless specifically approved by the Engineer,
appurtenances such as manholes, branch crossings, etc., shall be
built as the work progresses. Excavation for manholes will be
made of such dimension and depth as to allow the construction of
the manhole as shown on the plans.
(m) Tunnelling - In general all excavation will be in open trenches.
Tunnelling will be permitted only on the written order of the
Engineer or wherever shown on the plans or specified herein. Tun-
nels constructed beneath streets, railroad tracks or at other
places, when so ordered by the Engineer, shall be backfilled with
sand, or, if water is used in placing said backfilling, same shall
be completely flooded. The opening must be completely filled with
compacted material. If so ordered loam soil may be used and
thoroughly tamped with air driven tampers.
(n) Bracing and Shoring - The sides of any excavation, when deemed
necessary, shall be properly supported with bracing, shoring or
sheeting as the need may be. Such bracing and shoring shall be
withdrawn as the work progresses. In case the excavation is close
enough to buildings or other foundations as to endanger their
stability by the removing of such brackings, then they shall be
made secure and left in place and the trench backfilled and thor-
oughly tamped with the bracing in place. Such work shall be done
under the direction of the Engineer. The Contractor will not be
paid for such bracing, sheeting or shoring whether it is withdrawn
or left in the trench.

(o) Use of Explosives - When the use of explosives is necessary for
the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall observe all local,
state and federal laws in purchasing, handling and transporting
explosives. The Contractor shall take all necessary precaution to
protect completed work, neighboring property, water lines, or other
underground structures. Where there is danger to structures or
property from blasting, the charges shall be reduced and the
material shall be covered with suitable timber, steel or rope mats.
' The Contractor shall notify all owners of public utility property
of intention to use explosives at least eight hours before blasting
is done close to such property. Any supervision or direction of use
of explosives by the Engineer does not in any way reduce the respon-
sibility of the Contractor or his surety for damage that may be
caused by such use.
' (p) Care of Surface Material for Reuse - All surface materials which,
in the opinion of the Engineer, are suitable for reuse in restoring
the surface shall be kept separate from the general excavation
material, as directed by the Engineer.
(q) Piling Excavated Material - All excavated material shall be piled
in a manner that will not endanger the work and that will avoid
obstructing sidewalks and driveways. Hydrants under pressure,
valve pit covers, valve boxes, curb stop boxes, fire and police
' call boxes, or other utility controls shall be left unobstructed
and accessible until the work is completed. Gutters shall be kept
clear or other satisfactory provisions made for street drainage,
and natural watercourses shall not be obstructed.
(r) Trenching by Hand or Machine - Hand methods for excavation shall
be employed in locations shown on the drawings. In other locations
' the Contractor may use trench -digging machinery or employ hand
methods.
' (s) Barricades, Guards and Safety Provisions - To protect persons from
injury and to avoid property damage, adequate barricades, construc-
tion signs, torches, red lanterns and guards as required shall be
I.
placed and maintained during the progress of the construction work
and until it is safe for traffic to use the highway. All material
piles, equipment and pipe which may serve as obstructions to traffic
shall be enclosed by fences or barricades and shall be protected by
'• proper lights when the visibility is poor. The rules and regulation
of the local authorities respecting safety provisions shall be
observed.
' (t) Maintenance of Traffic and Closing of Streets - The Contractor shall
carry on the work in a manner which will cause the least interrup-
t tion in traffic, and may close to through travel not more than two
consecutive blocks, including the cross street intersected. Where
traffic must cross open trenches, the Contractor shall provide
suitable bridges at street intersections and driveways.

The Contractor shall post, where directed by the Engineer, suitable
signs indicating that a street is closed, and necessary detour signs
for the proper maintenance of traffic.
(u) Structure Protection - Temporary support, adequate protection and
'
maintenance of all underground and surface structures, drains,
sewer and other obstructions encountered in the progress of the
work shall be furnished by the Contractor at his expense and under
' the directions of the Engineer. The structures which may have been
disturbed shall be restored upon completion of the work.
' (v) Protection of Property and •Surface Structures - Trees, shrubbery,
fences, poles and all other property and surface structures shall
be protected unless their removal is shown on the drawings or
authorized by the Engineer. When it is necessary to cut roots and
' tree branches, such cutting shall be done under the supervision and.
direction of the Engineer.
' (w) Interruption of Service - No valve or other control on the existing
system shall be operated for any purpose by the Contractor. The
Owner will operate all valves, hydrants, blow -offs and curb stops.
PAVED STREETS, SIDEWALKS, AND DRIVEWAYS
Whenever sewers are built under normal four (4) foot sidewalk crossings,
the Contractor shall make necessary excavation by tunnelling and payment for
' such work shall be in accordance with the price bid for excavation. If in the
opinion of the Engineer it is necessary to cut the sidewalk, the Contractor
shall replace such sidewalk at the price bid per square foot for such work.
' Payment shall be made, however, upon a cut width not to exceed four (4) feet.
Damage to sidewalks caused by extra breakage due to trench excavation or
other damage during construction shall be replaced by the Contractor at his
own expense.
Cuts through pavement, either concrete, asphalt, brick or any combination
thereof, shall be replaced with like materials. Payment for such work shall
I. be on the basis of a cut 30 inches in width and according to the unit price
bid per square yard for such work. Cuts or damaged pavement beyond this
width shall be replaced at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor
shall save all brick and asphalt materials removed and shall use them and
as much additional material of like quality as is necessary in making
replacements.
All fills under sidewalks or paving shall be compacted to the density of
the original earth. When provisions for payment for repairing pavement and
sidewalks are not made in the Proposal, the price bid in the Proposal for
' excavation shall include all such costs and the Contractor shall not receive
extra compensation for such work.

(c) Duration of Test - Test pressures shall be maintained for a period
of at least 2 hours.
(d) Method of Testing - Where joints are left open for inspection,
ordinary operating line pressures may be used and the leakage.
determined by inspections. Where joints are covered, metered con-
nections shall be used whenever practical. In the case of pump
' lines where metered water is not available, the lines may be filled
and left under pressure for a period of 24 hours and the loss deter-
mined by pressure gages.
(e) Allowable Leakage - Leakage for all types of pipe shall be within
the limits set out in the "Tentative Standard Specifications for
Installation of Cast Iron Water Main," A.W.W.A. designation C 600-77
Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that
specified, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and
repair the defective joints until the leakage is within the speci-
' fied allowance.
BACKFILLING
a Backfill Material - All backfill material shall be free from cinders
'
ashes, refuse, vegetable or organic material, boulders, rock or
stones, or other material which in the opinion of the Engineer is
unsuitable. However, from one (1') foot above the top of the pipe
' to the subgrade of the pavement, material containing stones up to
eight (8") inches in their greatest dimension may be used, unless
specified otherwise herein.
' (b) Use of Excavated Material as Backfill - When the type of backfill
material is not indicated on the drawings or specified, the Con-
tractor may backfill with the excavated material, provided that
' such material consists of loam clay, sand, gravel or other materials
which, in the opinion of the Engineer, are suitable for backfilling.
Where excavated material is indicated on the drawings or specified
I. for backfill and there is a deficiency due to a rejection of part
thereof, the Contractor shall furnish the required amount of sand,
gravel or other approved material.
(c) Sand or Gravel Backfill - Where sand or gravel backfill is not
indicated, on the drawings or specified herein and, in the opinion
of the Engineer, should be used in any part of the work, the
U. Contractor shall furnish and backfill with sand or gravel as
directed as an extra.
' (d) Backfilling Under Pipe - All trenches -- whether the pipe,
fittings and appurtenances are laid on a flat bottom at subgrade,
laid on fill or laid on blocking -- shall be backfilled by hand,

from the bottom of the trench to the centerline of the pipe with
approved material placed in layers of three (3") inches and com-
pacted by tamping. Backfilling materials shall be deposited in
the trench for its full width on each side of the pipe, fittings,
and appurtenances simultaneously.
(e) Backfilling Over Pipe - From the centerline of the pipe, fittings,
and appurtenances to a depth of one (1') •foot above the top of the
pipe, the trench shall be backfilled with select materials and
shall be placed by hand. The Contractor shall use special care
in placing this portion of the backfill so as to avoid injuring or
moving the pipe.
(f) Backfilling to Grade - From one (1') foot above the pipe to the
grade shown on the drawings or specified herein, the trench shall
be backfilled by hand or by approved mechanical methods.
(g) Backfill Around Manholes - After manholes are completed and approve
the earth shall, be tamped around the outside to a firm, compact
condition. Backfill shall not be made until the mortar coat around
the manhole has firmly set.
(h) Backfill Under Permanent Pavement - Where the excavation is made
through permanent pavement, curbs, driveways or sidewalks or where
such structures are undercut by the excavation, the entire backfill
to the subgrade of the structures shall be made with select mater-
ials. Such material shall be thoroughly compacted with air tamps
to the base of the surface to be replaced. Walks and driveways
consisting of broken stone, gravel, slag or cinders shall not be
considered as being of a permanent construction.
(i) Backfilling Where Settlement Unimportant - Unless otherwise speci-
fied, the Contractor may backfill the trench from one (1') foot
above the pipe to the top of the trench with the excavated material,
and the backfill shall be neatly rounded over the trench to a suf-
ficient height to allow for settlement to grade after consolidation.
(j) Backfilling in Freezing Weather - Backfilling shall not be done in
freezing weather except by permission of the Engineer, and it shall
not be made with frozen material. No fill shall be made where the
material already in the trench is frozen.
(k) Payment - Payment for backfilling shall be included
bid under "Excavation and Backfill," or if the bid
complete in place in trenches of determined depth,
for such work shall include all backfilling.

REMOVAL OF EXCESS EXCAVATION
' All excavated materials, except as hereafter noted, shall be the property
of the Owner, and shall be disposed of by the Contractor as the Engineer may
direct within a free haul of six hundred (600) feet. Any materials required
by the Engineer to be disposed of beyond the free haul limit will be paid
' for at the rate of one (0.01) cent per cubic yard per one hundred (100) feet
of overhaul. Any excavated material not needed by the Owner for filling and
grading will become the property of the Contractor, but shall be disposed of
' by him in a manner acceptable to the Engineer; in such case no extra payment
will be made for overhaul.
' Whenever the water or sewer line is built in any unpaved street or alley,
the trench shall be refilled to the original surface of the street.
REMOVAL, RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SURFACE
' a Allowable Removal of Pavement - The Contractor shall remove pave-
ment and road surfaces as a part of the trench excavation, and the
amount removed shall depend upon the width of trench specified
' for the installation of the pipe and the width and length of the
pavement area required to be removed for the installation of gate
valves, specials, manholes or other structures. The width of
' pavement removed along the normal trench for the installation of
the pipe shall not exceed the width of the trench specified by
more than six (6") inches on each side of the trench. The width
and lengths of the area of pavement removed for the installation
of gate valves, specials, manholes or other structures shall not
exceed the maximum linear dimensions of such structures by more
than six (6") inches on each side. Wherever, in the opinion of
I. the Engineer, existing conditions make it necessary or advisable
to remove additional pavement, the Contractor shall remove it as
directed by the Engineer and shall receive extra compensation there-
for, provided such additional work is not shown on the drawings or
'
specified. The Contractor shall use such methods, either drilling
or chipping, as will assure the breaking of the pavement along
straight lines. The face of the remaining pavement shall be
' approximately vertical.
If the Contractor removes or damages pavement or surfaces beyond the
limits specified above, such pavement and surfaces shall be replaced
or repaired at the expense of the Contractor.
(b) Restoration of Damaged Surfaces and Property - Where any pavement,
I.
trees, shrubbery, fences, poles or other property and surface struc-
tures have been damaged, removed or disturbed by the Contractor,
whether deliberately or through failure to carry out the requirement
of the contract documents, state laws, municipal ordinances or the
specific direction of the Engineer, or through failure to employ
usual and reasonable safeguards, such property and surface struc-
tures shall be replaced or repaired at the expense of the Contractor
MCCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS , INC

(c) Replacement of Pavement and Structures by Contractor - The Con-
' tractor shall restore (unless otherwise stipulated all pavement,
sidewalks, curbing, gutters, shrubbery, fences, poles, or other
property and surface structures removed or disturbed as a part
' of the work to a condition equal to that before the work began,
furnishing all labor and materials incidental thereto. In restoring
the pavement, sound granite blocks, sound brick or asphalt paving
blocks may be restored unless and until, in the opinion of the
Engineer, the condition of the backfill is such as to properly
support the pavement.
(d) Cleaning Up -All surplus water main materials furnished by the
Contractor and all tools and temporary structures shall be removed
from the site by the Contractor. All dirt, rubbish and excess
I. earth from the excavation shall be hauled to a dump provided by
the Contractor and the construction site left clean to the satis-
faction of the Engineer. All surplus water main materials furnished
by the Owner and delivered to the site by the Contractor shall be
' removed and delivered by the Contractor to a location designated
by the Owner. All surplus water main material furnished and
delivered by the Owner shall be removed by the Owner.
CONNECTION TO EXISTING LINES
Where connections to existing lines are to be made, such fittings as
' shown on the plans shall be installed. If fittings are not specified, then
such fittings as are necessary to make the proper connections shall be in-
stalled. Wherever crosses or tees are installed for future connections, the
section of the fitting not being used shall be plugged with a standard cast-
' iron plug or cap.
Wherever it is necessary to connect to existing lines in use the Contrac-
' for shall notify the Water Superintendent of the Owner at least twenty-four
(24) hours prior to the time he is ready to make the connection. Together
with the Engineer, an agreed time shall be set for such connection to be made.
' If water service is to be interrupted, the time for making the connection
shall be at the discretion of the Water Superintendent and Engineer, and the
Contractor shall make such connections at the time specified.
' When making connections to water lines in service, it is of the utmost
importance that the Contractor shall make such connections as quickly as
possible and water service shall not be cut off until the Contractor has
' everything, in readiness to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
No valves or hydrants in service shall be opened or closed by anyone
' other than the persons authorized by the Owner.
Where connections, other than service taps are to be made under pressure
to water lines in service, standard cutting -in -sleeves and valves shall be
' used. They shall be placed according to the recommendation of the manufac-
turer and the instructions of the Engineer. After the sleeve, tapping valve
and all necessary equipment have been set in position the cut shall be made

in the presence of the Engineer and the Water Superintendent of the Owner,
so if trouble should develop it could be remedied in the most speedy manner
possible. Cutting sleeves and valves shall be Mueller, or equal.
' Where tees, valves, crosses or other fittings are to be installed in
existing lines, a section of sufficient length of the existing line shall be
removed to allow the installation of the fitting, a short section of pipe
' and a connecting sleeve. The use of cutting -in sleeves for lead caulked
joints will be permitted if approved by the Engineer in advance. The use of
so-called cutting -in valves, tees or crosses will not be permitted. In all
cases sufficient room to allow joints as herein specified shall be provided.
STERILIZATION OF PIPES
All pipes are to be sterilized, after laying is completed, by holding
' a chlorine solution of at least 50 ppm strength in the pipes for twelve (12) -
hours. Sterilization may be carried on at the same time the leak test is
made as outlined above. After the lines are sterilized, samples shall
' be taken from each of the respective sections of the lines and tested in an
approved laboratory. The lines shall not be placed in operation until two
consecutive samples showing negative reports are received on each of the re-
spective sections. Pipe used in force mains where the water is to be filtered
' and for use in sewer construction, need not be sterilized. However, pipe used
in force mains, where water is to be used without filtration, shall be
sterilized.
' FENCES
Wherever the line crosses fences it shall be the duty of the Contractor
Ito repair such •breaks as it is necessary to make. All such fences shall be
replaced to their original quality and condition. Wherever livestock is
being retained by such fencing, it shall be the duty of the Contractor to
maintain the fence in such condition at all times as will prevent the escape
' of such livestock.
CROSSING STATE HIGHWAYS
' Wherever the line crosses a Federal or State Highway the Maintenance
Superintendent of the particular division involved will be notified. The
Contractor, together with the Maintenance Engineer shall make such provision
for detours and the protection of the public as is necessary. The Contractor
shall expedite the work as rapidly as possible.
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT FOR WATER MAINS, VALVES, FITTINGS AND HYDRANTS.
' Unless otherwise set out in the Proposal or the DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS,
payment for installation of pipe shall be according to the actual measure-
ments of linear feet of pipe complete in place. No deduction shall be made
for valves, fittings, hydrants or other specials included in the length. of
the line, but measurements shall be made from centerline of connection to
end of any main or branch line. If pipe is joined to fittings in place, then
measurements shall be from the end of the first piece of pipe laid. In
' special structures such as creek crossings, buildings or other items in which
lump sum or other methods of payment include payment for pipe and fittings,
such pipe and fittings shall not be included in the units measured for pay-
ment for pipe in place.

FAYETTEVILLE INDUSTRIAL PARK
Fayetteville, Arkansas
Plans No. 79-169
DATED: October, 1979
1. SCOPE OF THE WORK. The work to be included under this contract as shown
on the plans and provided for in the specifications includes the furnishing
of all equipment, labor, tools, supplies, and materials required for the con-
struction of sewer main extension and related work as provided for in the
Proposal.
2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS. The General Specifications covering the
various phases of work set out in these specifications which precede the
Detailed Specifications shall govern and control all work to which, in the
opinion of the Engineer, they apply. Since the General Specifications are,
as the name implies, general in nature, they may in some cases refer to
work and conditions not found on this project, in which case such nonappli-
cable stipulations will have no meaning in this contract. In case of
conflict between General and Detailed Specifications, the Detailed Speci-
fications shall govern. The General Specifications included herein are:
Concrete
Pipe and Pipe Fittings
Water and Sewer Pipe Laying
3. PAYMENT. Methods of payment provided for in the General Specifications
are in some cases superseded by specific conditions set out in the Proposal
and Detailed Specifications. In such cases, the provisions of the Proposal
and Detailed Specifications shall apply.
4. QUALITY OF THE PLANS. The plans have been made with care but cannot
be assumed to be correct in every detail when many of the conditions to
be encountered are not shown on existing maps and are underground.
The approximate location of existing underground water, and utility
lines are shown. The placing of this information on the plans in no way
obligates the Owner as to its correctness, as it is indicative only and is
placed there for the information and assistance to the Contractor.
It is the expressed intent of these Plans and Specifications that the
Contractor is to make his own investigation of conditions to be encountered,
including rock and underground water, and the submission of the Proposal by
Detailed Specifications - 1

the Contractor for the work constitutes his compliance with this requirement.
I5. ALTERATION OF PLANNED QUANTITIES AND CONDITIONS. The Owner reserves
the right to alter the location, grade and other conditions pertaining to
the items of construction within the Contract if it is deemed to be in the
best interest to provide the needed service and/or facilitate construction.
Likewise, the Owner may order a change in the quantity of any item, in which
case the cost to the Owner for those set items shall be based upon the unit
1 prices bid in the Proposal. In addition, certain items may be deleted, in
which case credit to the Owner will be determined also by the unit prices
in the Proposal.
6. COOPERATION WITH THE OWNER. Since the work to be done involves the
connection of sewer mains to those existing mains belonging to the City of
Fayetteville, the closest cooperation between the Contractor and the City
' is required. The Contractor shall be liable for all damages of whatever
type that he may cause to the Owner's facilities.
7. COOPERATION WITH UTILITY COMPANIES. The sewer main to be constructed
hereunder will be placed in easements presently occupied by water
lines, or electric lines. The Contractor shall exert every effort to
contact and cooperate with these utility companies so that the existing
' utility lines will not be disturbed nor service interrupted. An attempt
has been made. to provide information relative to the location and existence
of these lines but in some cases it may be that the information is incorrect
or incomplete. The Contractor shall maintain close cooperation with utility
companies to ascertain the validity of the information supplied. The Con-
tractor shall be responsible for cost of repairs to any and all lines caused
by his work hereunder. In easements where other utilities are not yet in
place, the sewer mains shall be placed in straight lines at one side of the
easement to allow room for other lines.
' 8. PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK. Whenever work is required which is not provided
for under these Plans, Specifications or Contract, or work which is not in
keeping with the general work for which there are unit prices, the Contractor
' shall perform the work as directed by the Engineer and shall receive as
compensation therefor, the total cost of the work based on the Contractor's
actual expense plus twenty (20) percent for overhead and profit. No extra
work shall be performed except upon written notification from the Engineer.
' 9. TRENCHING AND BACKFILLING. Trenching shall be conducted as described
under General Specifications entitled Sewer Pipe Laying contained herein.
Trenching through rock shall be carried down past the prescribed grade a
minimum distance of six (6) inches. Further excavation may be ordered by
the Engineer if, in his opinion, conditions so warrant to prevent future
breaking of the pipe. A fine crushed material, sand or loam shall be used
under the rock to cushion the pipe. Backfilling shall be conducted in a
workman -like, conscientious manner. The pipe shall be backfilled in "lifts"
not to exceed six (6) inches, each lift being tamped by hand or mechanical
means prior to placing the succeeding six inch lift. This procedure shall be
followed until a minimum of twelve inches of material has been placed over
the bell of the pipe. Material placed thusly shall consist of only sand/

clay material. No large stones, frozen lumps, broken concrete, asphalt or
other large, hard material shall be used in the first 24 inches of the back -
fill. Backfilling of street crossings and driveways shall be done entirely
in six inch lifts using SB-2 or similar granular, non -plastic material. No
power equipment normally used to push or dump earth material shall be used.
Hand filling and mechanical or hand tamping will be required, and the
Engineer may direct that the fill materials be slightly moistened to assist
in its consolidation. Materials saturated with water will not be used in the
backfill. Backfill material shall be consolidated until it reaches a density
equal to that found in the undisturbed earth adjacent to the trench.
Trenches cut for sewer main installation shall be hand -graded to eliminate
high and low places, thus preventing beam action of the pipe. Hand grading
of the trench bed and/or bedding material shall be required for proper
support of the pipe. Bedding conditions shall be Type B or F, as prescribed
by the American National Standards Institute.
10. WORK ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. Some work.to.be done under this contract will
be performed on private property. A utility easement has been obtained from
the property owner for the purpose of installing the utilities. The ease-
ment does not permit the wanton destruction of trees, shrubs, walls or other
improvements. The Contractor shall safeguard and restore the properties to
a condition similar to the condition found prior to entering them. In some
cases, particular instructions will be given the Contractor relative to the
protection of certain improvements, and in all cases, lawns will be hand -
raked (after all settlement of the trench backfill has occurred) and seeded
and fertilized. Since this work is being performed on behalf of the City
of Fayetteville, good public relations and cooperation with the property
owner shall be exercised by the Contractor. Temporary fences for the work
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
11. LAWS, CODES AND ORDINANCES. These plans and specifications are to be re-
garded as minimum requirements. The Contractor shall further comply with all
applicable Federal, State and Local requirements.
All material and equipment shall be new, of the best quality and design
and free from defects. All material and equipment furnished in quantity
shall be of one manufacturer for each item unless otherwise specified by
the Engineer.
12. GUARANTEE. The Contractor, by acceptance of these plans and specifi-
cations and signing of contract, acknowledges his acquaintance with all
requirements and guarantees that every part going to make up the system as
herein described shall be as specified and will be erected in a most thor-
ough and substantial manner by experienced labor.
He guarantees that all conduit as provided in this specification will
be free from all obstruction of every description and will be free from
holes or broken places and well bonded together.
He further guarantees to hold himself responsible for any defects
which may develop in any part of the entire system, including apparatus
and appliances as provided for under the specifications, due to faulty

workmanship, design, or material for a period of one year from date of
final acceptance and shall repair or replace any defects occurring during
' this period without cost to the Owner and to the complete satisfaction of
the. Engineer.
' 13. DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS. The Drawings and Specifications are to
be constructed according to full intent, meaning and spirit when taken either
together or separately. Drawings and Specifications taken co -jointly shall
be deemed to explain each other and be descriptive of necessary work to be
' performed under contract. Any apparent discrepancy in either drawings or
specifications shall be promptly reported to the Engineer, who is the sole
interpreter of the meaning of the plans and specifications, and his direc-
t tions shall be followed. If anything is shown on the drawings and not
mentioned in the specifications, or vice -versa, the work shall be fully
executed and carried out the same as if mentioned in the specifications and
shown on the drawings.
14. SITE INSPECTION. The Contractor shall inspect the site, study existing
conditions, check with drawings and specifications, and be fully informed
as to work required to complete the contract. No allowance will be made for
misunderstanding after the contract has been awarded.
' 15. FEES, PERMITS, ETC. The Contractor shall pay all fees, licenses,
permits, inspections, etc., incurred in obtaining services and installing
work and shall deliver to the Owner at completion of the job all permits,
' inspections approvals, etc.
16. CLEAN UP. Cleaning the job site as work proceeds shall be of critical
importance under this contract. The Contractor shall be required to main-
, tian a separate4crew, as necessary, to clean up and remove debris immediately
behind the pipe laying crew, or to otherwise provide for proper and thorough
clean up. Failure to perform this function will result in an order from the
' Engineer to cease laying pipe or to cease performing other work until the
clean up is complete. Good public relations are an essential part of this
work, and the Contractor is hereby advised accordingly. Part of the con-
sideration in keeping the job clean lies in constructing manholes
'
immediately following the pipe laying operation. In similar fashion, the
Contractor shall construct manholes promptly and backfill each as rapidly
as possible.
' 17. ROCK EXCAVATION. Rock excavation shall be a separate pay item in this
project. Paragraph 9 of these Detailed Specifications describes the depth
' of excavation below the pipe, and the cushioning material and method for
safe -guarding the pipe. Rock is defined, for the purposes of these Speci-.
fications, as sandstone, hard shale, limestone or very hard chert which
cannot be removed without the use of an air hammer or by drilling and blast-
' ing. Boulders larger than a cubic yard in size shall be classified as rock
also for compensation purposes. The Contractor shall exercise extreme care
in blasting. See the requirements pertaining to insurance in the General
' Provisions of these Specifications. The Contractor hereunder shall be
required to furnish. evidence of blasting insurance in the amounts shown.
Rock excavation may be encountered in the deeper sewer line excavations.
IDetailed Specifications - 4
McCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS , INC
I
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
Rock excavation will be measured daily in the open trench, only after
the Engineer has determined that the excavation qualifies as rock excava-
tion. The length of rock excavated, multiplied by the depth, multiplied
' by the width shall determine the quantityof rock excavation. The maximum
width of rock excavation, for pay purposes shall be thirty inches (30").
The quantity of rock excavation so determined will be paid for at the unit
price bid in the Proposal.
' 18. CRUSHED ROCK SPECIAL BACKFILL MATERIAL. Crushed rock backfill mate-
rial shall be used in backfilling trenches in which rock has been encountered
t and shall be crushed rock material designated as SB-2. The material shall
be placed for 12" above the pipe bell to the top of the trench in compacted
• lifts to prevent future settling.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
The total tons of SB-2 material authorized, placed and accepted by the
' Engineer will be evidenced by delivery tickets brought with each truck load
of material and surrendered to the Engineer. The total tonnage so evidenced
will be paid for at the unit price per ton bid in the Proposal.
19. BRUSH CLEARING AND REMOVAL. The Plans show areas where the proposed
sewer lines will be routed through brush or small timber. The Contractor,
' in submitting his bid, signifies that he has inspected these areas and is
familiar with the extent of cutting required, the size of the brush and
trees and the accessability for removing the debris from the job site.
It is the intent that no large trees will be removed in this contract,
though no guarantee is made that such is to be the case. If trees must
be trimmed, the work shall be performed expertly, with neat, smooth cuts
and with no broken or mangled branches left on the trees. All brush and
' debris shall be removed from the job site and disposed of at a suitable
location. The Contractor shall cooperate with property owners in this
regard, to maintain proper public relations and to preserve and protect
plantings and trees where possible.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
' The brush, plantings and small trees removed and disposed of are to
be subsidiary to the cost of installing the sewer lines.
20. SEWER PIPE. The bid price for this item shall include trenching, fur-
nishing and laying pipe, backfilling, seeding, clean-up and restoration
work, testing and all work incidental to placing the sewer pipe. The pipe
specified for this project is 8" Truss Pipe (ABS composite) as manufactured
' by ARMCO, or equal. The pipe shall be laid on the line and grade as es-
tablished by the Engineer in the field. The Engineer will establish sewer
line grades at the manhole for laying of the sewer pipe with the use of a
laser. The Contractor shall be responsible for setting intermediate grade
stakes if a laser is not used for laying of the sewer line. The sewer line
shall be installed, tested, approved and placed into service not later than
' December 1, 1979.

and materials to construct manholes for this project. `They shall be
poured -in -place concrete manholes, as shown on sheet 3 of the plans.
' The Contractor shall seal around all influent and effluent pipes with
care, to prevent infiltration of storm water. Manhole frames and
covers shall be of the 300 lb., street type, and shall be placed
Ito conform to the grade and slope of the matching ground, concrete
or asphalt surface. One manhole cover shall be self-sealing as
shown on the plans, Bass & Hays #380-24P or approved equal.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND BASIS FOR PAYMENT
I. Measurement and payment for manholes shall be for each manhole con-
structed, tested and accepted including steps, frames and covers at the
unit price bid in the Proposal.
' 22. INFILTRATION - EXFILTRATION TESTS. After lines and manholes are in
place and the ditches have settled, but before final street repair and
cleanup, all sewer lines shall be tested by one of the following procedures:
1 A. Water Test. Each section shall be filled with water and the
leakage measured. This test will be conducted in accordance
• with ASTM C-425 with the following exceptions: exfiltration
• shall not exceed 200 gallons per day per inch of pipe diameter,
per mile of pipe. All pipe joints shall be subjected to a
' minimum of 10 foot head during the test procedure.
B. Air Test. The equipment for this test shall be identical or
equal to the "Air-loc" system manufactured by Cherne Industrial,
Inc., Hopkins, Minnesota.
The test shall be conducted as follows:
1. All openings shall be plugged; one plug shall have an
•inlet valve for the introduction of air pressure.
' 2. Internal pressure shall be brought to a 4.0 psig
(pressure is not to exceed 5.0 psig at any time).
3. After the internal pressure has stabilized for at least
two minutes, the line shall be "bled off" to a pressure
of 3.6 psig. At 3.5 psig the timing shall begin to
determine the time required for the pressure to drop to
