money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful
claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all.liabilities

be resumed in accordance with the terms of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, but

of the CONTRACTOR, any payment so made by the OWNER shall be
considered as a payment made under the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS by the OWNER
to the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER shall not be liable to the CONTRACTOR
for any such payments made in good faith.

• satisfactory working condition at all times.
12-03. . TRENCH EXCAVATION:
and machines used in the per -
of the specifications shall be
shall be maintained in a
a. General: The Contractor shall perform all excavation of every
description and of whatever substances encountered, to the lines and grades
indicated on the drawings or as otherwise directed by the Engineer. All -ex-
cavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and
-wasted as indicated on the drawings or as approved. All excavations shall
be made by open cut. The banks of trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical
as practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and braced..
Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is
required, care shall be taken not to excavate below the depths indicated on
the drawings or specified herein. Where rock excavation is required, or
where stones are encountered in the bottom of the trench that would create
a concentrated pressure on the pipe, the rock or stones shall be removed to
a depth of 6 inches minimum below the trench depths indicated on the drawings
or specified. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation
shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth, sand, or fine gravel, thoroughly
tamped. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of properly
supporting the pipe is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be
removed to a depth required and for the lengths designated by the Engineer,
and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade, as hereinafter specified,
with coarse sand or fine gravel. Trench excavation shall comprise the
satisfactory removal and disposition of all materials.
b. Grading and Stockinq: All grading in the vicinity of trench
excavations shall be controlled to prevent surface ground water from flowing
into the trenches. Any water accumulated.in the trenches shall be removed
by pumping or by other approved method. During excavation, material suitable
for backfilling shall be stacked in an orderly manner a sufficient distance
back from edges of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides'or cave-
ins. Material unsuitable for backfilling shall be wasted as approved.
c. Shorinq, Bracinq, and Sheetinq: It shall be required that
the Contractor, where necessary to protect adjacent improvements, keep the
•iisides of the excavation as nearly vertical as possible by bracing, or steel
sheet piling, unless otherwise ordered by the Engineer. Failure to properly
brace and sheet trenches shall be the risk of the Contractor and any damage.
incurred by reason of failure to shore, sheet or brace shall be restored or
••iccorrected at Contractor's expense. The contractor will not be reimbursed for
• :;. ,:' 12-1
the replacement of curb and gutter, sidewalk, pavement, or other items or
improvements that are damaged or fail due to his failure to provide proper
bracing and sheeting.
Sheeting and braceing shall not be removed after the pipe is laid or struc-
tures built until sufficient backfill is in place to protect the pipe or
• structure, and the adjacent street or alley surface and structures, from
damage by caving. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, it becomes necessary
or advisable to leave sheeting in place, he shall so direct the Contractor
by written order. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off at a level not
• less than one foot below the ground surface. Unless otherwise specified in
the bid form, payment for shoring or sheeting left in place by order of the
Engineer shall be at an agreed price which shall not be greater than the
• actual material cost of new lumber, less depreciation, and the estimated
cost of removal.
• d. Blasting: Blasting will be allowed with the Engineer's
permission only.
e. Trench Widths: Trench widths at the level of the top of the
=pipe shall not exceed the following and shall. be kept to the practical mini-
• mum required for properly laying, aligning, grading; and jointing of the
pipe. Trench widths at the level of the top of pipe shall not exceed the
• following::.
Diameter of Pipe Trench Iiidth
6" - 10" 27"
12" - 15" 33"
f. Shaping Trench Bottoms: 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 or on compact sand at every
..point between bell hales or depressions for joints as follows: (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.)
:The bottom of the trench shall be rounded so that the bottom for a width of
60 percent of the outside diameter of the pipe shall rest firmly on undis-
;turbed soil or on approximately two (2) inches of compact sand placed as a
leveling layer and a cushion between the rounded bottom of excavation and
..the pipe. In case the bottom of the trench is sandy material (non -plastic),
• the approximately two (2) inches of compact sand layer will not be required.
In. rounding the bottom of the trench, a template shaped to match the bottom
• of the pipe for the 60 percent width required shall be used to shape the
trench bottom at the required grade. This part of the excavation and shaping
shall be done manually only a few feet in advance of the pipe laying by men
skilled in this type of work. In order to provide a uniform bearing on un-.
disturbed soil or compact sand as described, it will be necessary to trench
• -to within a few inches of the bottom of the pipe as it rests in final position

The Contractor shall follow procedures within these specifications and as approved
by the Engineer which will result in a uniform support for the required widths of
pipe so that the required grade will be held and so that subsequent settlement of
pipe in place will not occur. .,
g. Overexcavation: Should the, trench be excavated to a greater depth
than required, it shall be filled to proper grade with dry sand or suitable finely
divided earth and compacted to provide a solid bed for the pipe in accordance with
the density requirements of these specifications. No extra payment will be made
for such work, and if material fiom the trench is not satisfactory to the Engineer
for the purpose, proper material shall be brought from other sources.
h. Tunneling and Boring: In general, crossings under sidewalks, rail-
road spur tracks, curbs and gutters, and other short obstructions shall be tunneled
or bored. The tunnel shall not be larger than is necessary for the conduct of the
work, and the roof shall be sloped from the ends toward the center at an angle of
not less than thirty degrees in order to facilitate complete refilling from the
open trench at the ends. Backfilling shall be placed by hand and shall be through-
ly compacted to prevent subsequent settlement of the roof. Methods of tunneling
or boring, size and length bracing and backfilling shall all be subject to the
approval of the Engineer.
i. Open Trench: Unless permission is granted by the Engineer, no more
than three hundred feet of trench shall be opened up ahead of pipe laying operations.
Backfilling shall begin as soon as pipe is laid and inspected and shall keep pace
with the pipe laying.
k. House Service Connections: Where existing house lateral connections
to utility mains are encountered, the Contractor shall exercise due care to insure
,,that the laterals are not disturbed or damaged. Should any lateral connections be
broken, as a result of the work under this contract, they shall be replaced by the
Contractor to at least equal to the original installation.
1. Public Utilities: The Contractor shall be responsible for the
destruction of, or damage to, all existing structures, pipe lines, conduits, cables,
sewers, drains, or other properties encountered in or adjacent to the excavation,
and he shall use all reasonable measures and precautions to protect such properties,
'and shall maintain or replace them in as good condition as they were prior to the
construction operations. He shall make a diligent effort to locate all underground
properties in advance of excavation work, and support or protect them so that they
will not be broken and their functions interrupted. The Contractor shall notify
all owners of public utilities that may be affected by construction demands so that
the public utilitiy owner may protect, transfer, change, rebuild, or remove any
part of his utilities as the utility owner may deem fit.. Such notification shall
.-be in writing and in advance of work by at least three weeks. -

.r- m. Relocation of Lines: The Engineer may, at his discretion, relocate
trench lines to avoid know obstacles, where such relocations are requested by the
Contractor, and will not, in the opinion of the Engineer, increase the cost to
the owner or impair the usefulness and permanence of -the construction.
12-04. TRENCH BACKFILLING
a. General: Trenches shall be carefully backfilled with excavated
materials approved for backfilling, consisting of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand
.` .,. and fine gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials, placed at or near optimum
'moisture content, free from large clods of earth or stone, carefully deposited on
both sides of the pipe in lifts as hereinafter described and thoroughly and care-
fully compacted symmetrically on each side of the pipe until enough fill has been
placed to provide a cover of not less than 12 inches above the top of the pipe
for the full width of the trench utilizing mechanical or vibratory compactors as
approved by the Engineer. Under the center of the pipe supplementary compaction
by curved hand tampers may be required by the Engineer to obtain -full compaction
under the pipe.
b. Compaction Lifts for Trench Backfillinq:

those to be salvaged and those to be torn out and disposed or as waste. If
.such determination cannot be made by preliminary excavation, the pipe shall
be excavated by the Contractor to expose it for further inspection. Pipe de-
signated for salvage shall be excavated, removed, transported, and stared in
a designated location, using due care to prevent damage to the pipe throughout
the operations. Pipe designated as unsuitable for salvage or reuse may be re-
moved by such method as the Contractor may elect and disposed of as directed;.
after being placed at the side of the ditch for inspection by the Engineer,
and paid for as specified for residential or arterial grading.
13-06. PRIVATELY OWNED OBSTRUCTION: On public property, such as fences, -
small buildings, or similar obstructions, will be removed by their respective
owners upon notification from the, City. Should progress of the work be unduly f
delayed through such procedures, the Contractor may remove, relocate or recon-
• .struct portions of fences at his own responsibility and expense, or by separate
negotiations with the respective owner.
13-07. SODDED AND LANDSCAPED AREAS: Such as parkings on or adjacent to im-
proved property shall be disturbed only to the extent. required to permit
construction. Such areas shall not be used as storage sites for construction
supplies and, insofar as practicable, shall be kept free from stockpiles of
excavated materials. Upon completion of backfilling at each location, sad
shall be replaced and the entire area restored to a condition fully equivalent
to the original.
13-08. PUBLIC UTILITIES: Public utility pipelines, poles, cable, conduits
and wires which interfere with construction shall be by-passed or worked around
by hand excavating, tunneling or other approved methods, at the Contractor's
expense, where practical. Where not possible to bypass or work around the
• facility, the facility shall be removed or relocated by the respective utility
company upon notification that such removal or relocation work is necessary to
permit new construction to lines and grades designated. Cost of such removal or
relocation work shall be borne by the utility company. The Engineer shall notify
the utility company in writing of the approximate date of which construction work
will begin. Such notice shall be given sufficiently in advance of beginning on
construction to allow adequate time for the removal or relocation work to be
accomplished by the utility company without interfering with construction schedules.
"`In the event that required removal or relocation work has not been accomplished
prior to construction at the location, the obstructing facility may be removed
or relocated by the Contractor at the expense of the utility company.

• The sewer line shall not leak under exterior ground water pressure, infiltration,
in excess of a rate of 200 gallons per inch of pipe diameter per mile per day.
If leakage exceeds the above stated amount, the sewer line shall, be repaired
until the infiltration comes within .the allowable limit.
At the option of the Engineer, the sewer lines shall be tested by subjecting the
sewer lines to internal water pressure and measureing the quantity of infiltra-
tion. Reaches or sections of the sewer line to be tested shall be determined by
• the Engineer. The reach or section of sewer line lying between two or more
• consecutive manholes, including the manholes at the upper ends of the section
selected. The procedure for testing shall be as follows: The outlet sewer line
at the lower manhole and the inlet sewer line at the upper shall be closed with
stoppers.. The upper manhole shall be filled with water to the top rim of the
manhole ring, except, that filling of the manholes shall be limited to a maximum
water 'depth of fifteen feet. The leakage shall be calculated from the drop in
water level in the upper manhole and the leakage measured by this method shall
not exceed the allowable leakage specified in the preceding paragraph.
Payment for testing sewer lines shall be considered a lump sum bid item.
18-02. TESTING PRESSURE LINES:
(WATER AND SEWER) Test for watertightness shall be made by the
Contractor in the presence of the Engineer and in accordance with AWWA specifi-
cation C 600-82, Section 4. The maximum allowable amount of leakage for
• lines shall not exceed that set forth by AWWA Standard C 600-82, Section 4.2.2.
When testing against closed metal seated valves an additional leakage per closed
valve of 0.0078 gal/hr/in of nominal valve size is allowed.
Tests shall be made at such time as requested by the Engineer. After completion
of installation of the pipeline, a test of tightness of leakage of the joints
shall be made by applying pressure on the line by means of a test pump hydro-
statically.

EXCAVATION, EMBANKMENTS, BACKFILLINC, MANHOLE AND INLET CONSTRUCTION AND
MISCELLANEOUS CONSTRUCTION SEXIER AND WATER LINES
I
21-01. TRENCH EXCAVATION: The Contractor shall start work for excavation
at such points on the line of the project as the Engineer may direct and shall
progress from point to point, from the outlet end upstream, or as directed by
the Engineer -Inspector. Under ordinary conditions excavations shall be by open
vertical cuts from the surface. Tunneling under concrete paving, sidewalks,
curb and qutter or other riqid structures is prohibited, unless expressly
approved by the Enqineer. If tunneling is permitted, no additional compensation
will be allowed over the unit price bid for the various sizes of pipe in place,
including the appropriate trenching depth of various depths, and will be paid
for at prices named in the proposal. The width of the trench for a vertical
distance measured from bottom of the trench to a point 12" above the top of
pipe shall be kept as close as practical to a maximum width of 16" wider than
pipe O.D. for sizes 8" through 15"; 20" wider than pipe O.D. for sizes 18"
through 27"; and 24" wider than pipe O.D. for sizes 30" through 48".
I. When trenching in soil that will not stand vertical the trench sides may be
sloped at the Contractor's option, providing the trenching is on unpaved streets
through undeveloped areas. The trench sides on unpaved streets through developed
areas may also be sloped providing the trench width at street surface will not
prevent vehicular ingress and egress to persons living or doing business on the
• street, and will not cause damage to existing utility lines, public and private,
or to adjacent buildings and other structures, public and private. In all cases
the sloped sides shall begin at a point not less than 12" above the top of pipe.
The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining all trenches in a safe con-
dition protecting the life and limb of men working therein, and for the protection
of the general public.
The line of trenches and grade cuts will be indicated by stakes set off of center
at one side of the trench. The amount of offset being dependent upon working
conditions along the trench.
The bottom of the inside of the sewer pipe or invert is the grade line shown on
the plans, and for construction purposes the grade will be given by a line paral-
lel to the pipe line grade and supported above ground surface on straight edges
or batter boards spaced as required.
At least three sets of batter boards shall be in proper position at all times
across the trench as a check on the accurance of the sewer grade line except -
where alternate methods for checking grade are ordered by the Engineer -Inspector
due to adverse and/or unusual construction conditions. Offset batter boards,
• with double parallel string lines spaced not less than 18" apart, may be consider-
ed as an approved. alternate. Regardless of the method used, the batter board fl
-
:;-"spacing shall not be greater than 50 feet and the grade line supported by the
batter hoards shall be pulled taut, and kept taut, free of any sag. Pipe may
be placed using laser equipment after technique is approved by the Engineer.
21-02. DISPOSAL OF EXCESS EXCAVATION: All excess excavation caused by the
displacement of pipe, paving replacement, manhole excavations or otherwise shall

be removed from the site as directed' by the Engineer -Inspector. This work shall
be included in the prices bid for all items of trenching-backfilling-compaction.
• 21-03. BRACING AND SHEETING: In congested areas where due to narrowness of
right-of-way, traffic, and adjacent utility lines, buildings, etc., it is not
possible to slope the trench sides, the Contractor shall be required to keep the
sides of the excavation as nearly vertical as possible by bracing, use of sheet
piling or using a moveable "boot" or "caisson", unless otherwise specified herein.
Failure to properly brace and sheet. trenches shall be at the risk of the Contractor,
and where such failure results in slides or caving, producing unusual or excessive
loading on the sewer, the Contractor shall be required to remove and replace the
sewer with whatever type of construction the Engineer -Inspector may require, with
no extra allowance for materials or labor. The Contractor shall be responsible
for damage to other utilities, buildings and structures resulting from trench
earth slides, caving or other failures. No extra payment will be made for sheet-
ing, bracing or "boot -caisson" since such extra costs shall have been included in
the bid prices. No sheeting or bracing, where used, shall, be removed until suff-
icient backfill is in place to protect. the pipe, and the adjacent street, alley
or easement surface and structures from damage by sliding and caving -in of trench
sides. No extra compensation shall be allowed for the handling of excavated
material in alleys, easement, streets or other confined areas. , {
21-04. OPEN TRENCH: The Contractor shall not open up more trench in advance
of pipe laying than is necessary to expedite the work, and in no event shall the
length of a continuous open trench at the job site exceed three (3) blocks. A
block shall mean the length of a block between streets in which the work is being
• done, but not to exceed 660 feet. In no case (platted or unplatted area) shall
the continuous length of open trench exceed 1,980 feet. In no case shall the
length of open trench without pipe therein exceed 330 feet. Trenching shall be
done far enough in advance of pipe laying so as to allow the Engineer to make
necessary grade changes without the use of extra fittings. If this procedure
is not followed and it becomes necessary to either raise or lower or swing the
new pipe line around obstructions due to change in grade, or alignment, it shall
be done at the expense of the Contractor. If any extra fittings or pipe are -
found necessary for the above reasons, they shall also be at no expense to the
Owner. ..,
21-05. MANHOLE EXCAVATION: The sides of the excavation made for manholes and
other concrete structures may serve as the outside form, if in the opinion of the
Engineer the earth sides of the excavation are satisfactory and the concrete will
not dry out too rapidly and if first class work can be assured in this manner.
No additional compensation shall be allowed for excavating manholes, over the
unit price bid for the various sizes or types of manholes in place at the various
depths.
21-06. ROCK EXCAVATION: Rock is here defined as material which cannot be
excavated without drilling and blasting, wedging, sledging or barring. All stone
'or boulders less than eight (8) cubic feet in volume will be classified as earth,
and all larger boulders shall be classified as rock. If blasting is necessary
to excavate such materials as shale, hardpan, soft sandstone, cemented gravel,
caliche, or. loose rock, which normally can be classified as earth excavation,
21-2
w
. 4
then this excavation shall be classified as rock excavation. Whenever a ledge
of solid rock is encountered with earth below it or where alternate layers of
solid rock and earth occur, the earth shall be included in the allowance for
rock when the thickness of the layer of earth is less than twelve (12) inches
thus requiring it to be removed by blasting along with the ledges of rock.
The Engineer -Inspector shall in all cases decide whether blasting is necessary
or not.
Whenever rock is encountered in the trench or elsewhere, in any excavation re-
quired to be made, it shall be excavated to the line and grade as shown on the
plans for trench cuts and backfill in rock, unless otherwise directed by the
Engineer.
.For trenches in general, rock shall be excavated to a depth of four (4) inches
minimum below the outside bottom of the conduit except at points of -rock and
earth transitions at which points the rock shall be excavated to a minimum of
twelve inches (12") below the outside bottom of the conduit. Any depression
in the bottom of the trench caused by overshooting and/or excavating and being
six inches (6") or greater in depth from a theoretical bottom of trench grade
Hshall be filled to the theoretical bottom of trench grade with graded gravel
of the gradations as shown on the plans or as approved by the Engineer..-
Rock excavation, including removal and disposal, shall be paid for on the basis
of the unit bid prices and shall be measured by the cubic yard of rock in its
original position within the limits of a trench having a bottom width 16" greater
• than the outside diameter of the pipe and sides sloping outward with a batter of
one inch per foot beginning at a point 12" above the top of pipe. Rack excavated
outside these limits will not be paid for. Payment for rock excavation will be
in addition to payment for trenching-backfilling-compaction in the various in-
crements of cut.
t- 21-07. BLASTING: Where blasting is necessary suitable weighted coverings
or mats shall be provided to confine all materials lifted by the blasting within
the limits of the trench and to prevent injury of life and property. Blasting
shall be under the supervision of a person, qualifed and experienced in the use
and handling of explosives.
21-08. BACKFILLING: '
a. On all trenches and excavations the earth used in backfilling
shall consist of the original excavated material or materials as required by
the Engineer -Inspector in a finely divided form, Free of large lumps, large
stones and rocks, pieces of old concrete, asphalt pavement, or oil pavement,
_...and large wet or gummy masses, and shall be sufficiently moistened to permit
good compacting but not sufficient to cause the backfill material to lump or
} form a ball when squeezed. Moistening water shall be added only in the amount
,._required to achieve approximate optimum moisture content for the soil encountered,
and the moistening water shall be thoroughly worked into the backfill material.
No extra payment shall be allowed for the removal of rocks, large lumps of dirt,
broken concrete -asphalt -oil payment, etc., from the backfill material.
}
21-3
1
,When in the course of trench or other excavation any material in encountered
which in the opinion of the Engineer is unsatisfactory for backfill, this
material shall be removed from the site and disposed of by the Contractor. A
select material, provided by the Contractor and satisfactory to the Engineer,
•shall be substituted for backfill purposes.
The payment for this material shall be based on the unit bid price far "Providing
Select Backfill", multiplied by the number of cubic yards (to the nearest cubic
yard) provided complete in place within the neat lines of the trench. The unit
• bid price shall include the cost of disposing of the unsuitable material and the
providing of the select material but shall not include the cost of trenching,
backfilling and compaction. The payment for trenching, backfilling and compac-
tion shall have been included under their appropriate bid items.
b. The backfill material when placed in the trench shall be thoroughly
:compacted to a minimum of 90% of maximum density throughout as determined by the
Modified Proctor Method, with the exception that the top six (6) inches in resid-
ential streets and the top twelve(12) inches in arterial streets (of the subgrade
'material) shall be compacted to a minimum of 95% maximum density (Modified Proctor)
except if the backfill or subgrade material contains 35% or more of material pass-
ing the No. 200 sieve, in which case, the compaction shall not be less than 900 of
maximum density (Modified Proctor). The moisture content of the backfill material
in. place shall not exceed the optimum nor be less than the optimum minus five (5)
• percent. The obtaining of the correct moisture content will be the responsibility
of the Contractor. Moisture and density requirements shall be governed by AASHO
Designation: T-180 and T-147. The Engineer will determine the classification of
the backfill required, whether for residential or arterial streets.
c. Omitted
d. The initial backfill around pipe shall consist of moistened finely
divided earth carefully and evenly placed and thoroughly rammed and tamped with
hand or pneumatic tampers to the required density range until sufficient fill
has been placed to provide at least a 12" cover over top of pipe the full width
of the trench or excavation. The remainder of the backfill material shall be
placed in lifts of such depth that the required compaction and density can be
obtained with the type of tamping or compacting equipment or method being used
by the Contractor without damage to pipe, or causing pipe displacement, but not
to exceed depths recommended by the equipment manufacturer, for various soil types,
• or as determined by compaction tests of the lift in place, or as directed by the
• Engineer -Inspector.
e. Density tests for the purpose of determining the degree of compac-
tion shall be made by a testing laboratory, supervised by an Arkansas Registered
Professional Engineer, who shall certify the test reports, and shall be paid for
by the Contractor. These tests shall be made in such a manner as to give the
,density of the backfill material throughout the entire depth of fill. In all
. cases sufficient tests shall be made at various depths which will give the degree
jof compaction within the lower one-half of trench backfill and in the initial fill
around the pipe, as well as in the upper one-half of the backfill.
21-4
f. Such density tests shall be made as follows:
.
One test shall be made for each continuous 500' run of trench
backfill per each 2 feet of depth except that no test shall be required for a
run of trench backfill 50' or less measured from point of beginning. Any con-
tinuous run of trench backfill between 51' and 500' interval shall require one
test. Any run of trench backfill that falls between successive 500' increments
shall not require a test unless the run of trench backfill is more than 250'.
g. The Resident Inspector shall have the right to call for any addi-
tioanl tests he may deem necessary at shorter intervals along the trench in order
to carry out and complete more fully and perfectly the work within the.intent of
these specifications. Any additional tests shall be at the Contractors expense.
h. The location of test sites and depths of tests shall be determined
by the Resident Engineer and he shall be responsible for calling and requesting
the laboratory to made tests at the location(s) selected. The contractor shall
provide any assistance necessary in taking these tests at no additional cost to
the Owner.
i. When test results fail to meet the density requirements as previous-
ly stated, additional compaction shall be required. If the tests indicate the
compaction method being used by the Contractor does not produce the required end
results, the Contractor shall at the direction of the Engineer or project inspector
alter the methods so as to produce the required densities in the compacted backfill..
All re -compacted trenches shall again be tested for required density as outlined
-in preceding paragraphs at the Contractor's expense. All sewer appurtenant
} structures shall be backfilled in accordance with these requirements.
j. When in the opinion of the project inspector or Engineer sandy -
gravelly soils, or other soils, are encountered which do not readily lend them-
selves to proper compaction with the use of mechanical equipment, the Contractor
may jet or flood the trench with water in successive lifts in a volume sufficient
to obtain the required density and compaction, including the use of vibratory
equipment, when necessary. No extra payment will be allowed the Contractor for
• this method of compaction.
k. It shall be mutually agreed that proper and adequate backfilling
'and compaction devoid of any future settlement regardless of the method used
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, and final acceptance of the pro-
ject does not relieve the Contractor of this responsiblity. The Contractor shall
at his expense repair all damages to streets, sidewalks, curbs -gutters, paving,
L sewer pipe, water lines and any other private or public utility line including
•damage to abutting private property caused by trench or excavation settlement
within a period of thirty-six (36) calendar months after final acceptance of
• each individual project by the Owner.
21-09. EMBANKMENTS: Where embankment is necessary to support the pipe or to
L cover or protect it in any way, it shall be made to -the width and slope shown on
the plans or designated by the Engineer. The surface of the ground receiving em-
bankment shall be carefully cleared of all unsuitable material, and furrowed with
21-5
- H.
pl• ow or shovel. The embankment shall then be formed of damp earth or other
suitable material. Embankments to be used as foundations for pipe must be
• filled in layers and more than 6 inches in thickness, each layer being
thoroughly tamped, up to the elevation of the top of the pipe to be supported
before the pipe is laid. This distribution of material must be uniform and
such as to make.a solid and compact foundation.
• 21-10. MANHOLES: Manholes of the design indicated on the plans and/or
work order and as detailed on the Standard Manhole Detail Sheet shall be
`" built around the pipe at designated intervals, and shall be adjusted such
that pipe joints at this point will be just outside the manhole barrel both
upstream and downstream. These joints just outside the manhole barrel shall
be reinforced with a Class "B" concrete block poured under the joint, and in-
cluding the lower one-half of the pipe. This block of concrete shall be at ..
least 3" thick under and around the bell and shall extend at least 6" on each
side of the joint along the axis of the pipe. After the manhole has been con-
''structed and a shelf of concrete has been poured in the bottom of the manhole
at an elevation of one-half pipe diamter above invert elevation, the top one-
