to the Contractor for work performed during the preceding calendar month, based
upon the Engineer's estimate of work completed, said estimate being certified by
the Contractor and accepted by the Owner. Retainage shall be withheld from the

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
To: Fayetteville City Council
Thru: Dan Coody, Mayor
Greg Boettcher, Public Works Director
Jim Beavers, City Engineer /�, 3w/.,.)
From: Sid Norbash, Staff Engineer .eZs✓
Date: January 2, 2002
Subject: Ridgeway Area Water Line Replacement Project
And Joyce Boulevard Loop
BACKGROUND
The Fayetteville Fire Department has identified areas of the City that do not have adequate
water supplies for fire fighting operations. A high priority need for increased water
distribution capacity exists at the Ridgeway Street arca of Mount Sequoyah Subdivision.
Existing 2 -inch diameter water mains do not meet the minimum fire flow requirements for
a residential setting. The construction of water distribution improvements in the
Ridgeway Street area was included in the Fiscal Year 2001 Capital Improvement Budget
for the Water/Sewer Division.
In addition to this project, the City of Fayetteville has an obligation to construct off-site
water distribution improvements along Joyce Boulevard, under the conditions of approval
for the Millennium Commercial Center. The Commercial Center developer was required
to contribute $6,600.00 towards the construction of 232 feet of 6 -inch water main. This
water main loop shall improve capacity and reliability of the Fayetteville water distribution
system. To secure competitive pricing for this comparatively small project, the
Engineering Division has incorporated this activity into the Ridgeway Area Project, and
maps denoting the Project locations are attached.
• •
On December 6, 2001 bids for this composite project (Ridgeway Area and Joyce
Boulevard) were opened, with the five official bids being summarized as follows:
Basic Construction Company $339,555.00
McClinton -Anchor (APAC) $330,359,50
Goodwin & Goodwin, Inc. $286,349.00
Keith Austin Construction Co. $270,816.00
Fayette Tree & Trench, Inc. $248,295.00
An itemized bid tabulation with unit prices is attached. The low bidder is Fayetteville Tree
and Trench, Inc. with a base bid of $248,295.00. It is estimated that the Ridgeway Area
construction portion of this project represents a cost of $237,739 and that the work along
Joyce Boulevard represents a cost of $10,556. Fayette Tree & Trench, Inc. is an
approvable contractor, with the proposed bid prices being found to be reasonable and
competitive.
The budgeted funding for the Ridgeway Area in FY 2001 was $300,000.00, with the low
bid price being well below original estimates. The lower bid price is attributed to a cost-
saving final design approach developed by the Engineenng Division. The preliminary
design for this project anticipated replacement of all small diameter water -lines, whereas,
final design found several segments of existing line that could be continued in service,
reducing scope and costs. Such design decisions produced the noted construction cost
under -run.
The costs for the Joyce Boulevard work shall be obtained from the off-site assessment
escrow account ($6,600.00) and the annual budget for general water/sewer improvements.
In addition to the funding approval for the base construction contract amount
($248,295.00), the approval should include a 15% contingency ($37,244.00), and
anticipated labor charges from the Engineering Division for design, Right Of Way,
advertising, bidding, and construction phase activities ($35,872). The total project
funding, to address all aspects of the project costs, is therefore $321,411.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Fayetteville City Council is requested to approve the award of the construction
contract to Fayetteville Tree and Trench, Inc. in the amount of $248,295.00, to approve
funding of a 15% Project Contingency ($37,244.00), and to approve of all necessary
Budget Adjustments to fund the Construction Contracts, fund in-house engineering
efforts, to allocate off-site escrow funds to the Joyce Boulevard segment of the Project
($6,600.00) and to transfer supplemental funds to fully fund the approved project budget
of $321,411.00.

Party of the Second Part,
hereinafter called the Contractor.

in the Plans and Specifications and approved by the City of Fayetteville,
Arkansas; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the published calls for bids under said Plans and
Specifications, the Contractor is the lowest and best qualified bidder for the
construction of said Improvements;
NOW THEREFORE, the Contractor agrees with the Owner to commence and complete the
construction of:
Bid No. 01-61 which shall be the Ridgeway Area Water Line Replacements and
Upgrades, Fayetteville, Arkansas; including all Work required for a complete
and acceptable installation, for the unit and lump sum prices bid in the Bid
Proposal, all of which become and are a part of this Contract, the total sum thus

dollars ($ ) , such sum being the agreed amount upon which bonds and
liabilities are based, and at his own cost and expense furnish all materials,
supplies, labor, machinery, equipment, tools, supervision, bonds, insurance and
other accessories and services necessary to complete the said construction in
accordance with the conditions and prices stated in the Bid attached hereto and
made a part hereof, and in accordance with the Technical Specifications, the
General Conditions, the Supplementary Conditions, and in accordance with the
Plans, which include all maps, plats, blueprints, and other drawings, and written
or printed explanatory matter thereof.
The Contractor agrees to commence work under this contract within ten days of the
issuance of the Notice to Proceed and totally complete all work within ninety
(90) calendar days.
The Owner agrees to pay the Contractor in current funds for the performance of
the contract in accordance with the accepted Bid therefor, subject to additions
and deductions, as provided in the Specifications, and to make payment on account
thereof as provided below.
1
As soon as is practicable after the first of each calendar month, and in
accordance with the Contract Specifications, the Owner will make partial payments
to the Contractor for work performed during the preceding calendar month, based
upon the Engineer's estimate of work completed, said estimate being certified by
the Contractor and accepted by the Owner. Retainage shall be withheld from the
partial payments as provided by Arkansas state laws by the Owner until final
completion and acceptance by the Owner and Engineer. The Engineer shall then

time of beginning, manner of progress and time of completion of the work
hereunder shall be and are essential conditions hereof.

date of the Notice to Proceed and to proceed with the construction of the work
and to prosecute the work with an adequate force and in a manner so as to
complete the work within the time stipulated herein. If the Contractor fails in

to pay the Owner, as liquidated damages the sum of three hundred dollars
($300.00) per day for each calendar day of delay in completion, said amounts

impracticability and extreme difficulty in fixing and ascertaining the actual
damages Owner would in such event sustain, said amounts are to be presumed by the
parties to this contract to be the amounts of damage Owner would sustain. Said

lockouts, fire, unusual delay in transportation, unavoidable casualties or any
causes beyond the Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Engineer
pending arbitration, or by any cause which the Engineer shall decide to justify
the delay, then the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time
as the Engineer may decide.
No such extension shall be made for delay occurring more than seven days before
claim therefor is made in writing to the Engineer. In the case of a continuing
cause for delay, only one claim is necessary.
In the event the Contractor abandons the work hereunder or fails, neglects or
refuses to continue the work after ten (10) days written notice, given Contractor
by the Owner or by the Engineer, then the Owner shall have the option of 1)
declaring this contract at an end, in which event the Owner shall not be liable

cost of same, together with any damages or other expense sustained or incurred
' by Owner in completing this contract, less the total amount provided for
hereunder to be paid Contractor upon the completion of this contract.
' This contract shall be binding upon the heirs, representatives, successors or
assigns of the parties hereto, including the surety.

failure of CONTRACTOR to perform or furnish Work in

ered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests,
nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such

Section 487 PIPELINE CLEANUP AND SEEDING
' A. GENERAL
Cleanup shall be considered an important part of this project, and adequate
equipment and qualified personnel shall be applied to this phase of the work from
the very beginning of the project. Seeding and placing of straw mulch shall not
be done during the period of June 15 through September 15.
There is no separate pay item for cleanup, and this work shall be considered
subsidiary to the unit price bid for pipe. There are generally four
classifications of cleanup to be used on this project, as set out below.
' Class I Cleanup. Areas of construction within lawns, gardens, or other
well -kept areas, including street rights of way that are kept as lawns by
adjacent landowners.
Class II Cleanup. Areas of construction within fields, meadows and street
rights of way which are mowed or cultivated (gardens excepted).
Class III Cleanup. Areas of construction that are heavily brushed or
' wooded, steep rocky slopes, or other areas where it is not practical for
the area to be cultivated.
Special Cleanup. Unless otherwise noted under paragraph 8.4 of this
' Specification, no special cleanup will be required.
B. METHOD OF CLEANUP
' The method of cleanup for each of the classes defined above shall be as set out
below.
1. Class I Cleanup - Lawns, Gardens. Etc. The trench shall be backfilled in
' accordance with the Pipe Specifications. After the topsoil has been
replaced to the same depth as adjacent undisturbed areas over the damaged
areas, the Contractor shall proceed immediately to hand rake the entire
construction area to remove all rock 1/2 inch or larger in diameter.
' Debris of every type shall be removed and all damaged tree limbs shall be
pruned. After the area has been raked and accepted, it shall be seeded at
the rate of 0.15 pounds per 100 square feet, using the following seed
mixture (percent expressed in terms of weight).
' Lawn Fescue 40%
Blue Grass 30%
Rye Grass (Annual) 30%
' During or after seeding is complete, all areas shall be covered with
10-20-10 fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds per acre, or approximately
`.one-half pound per 100 square feet. No watering will be required.
However, after seeding and fertilization the entire area shall be rolled
with a roller of sufficient size and weight to achieve a smooth finished
surface prior to mulching.
' Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed
shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to
provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread.
' Where the existing ground cover does not contain any of the grasses as set
out in the seed mixture above (Bermuda grass, Zoysia, etc.), the
Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, removing stockpiling and
saving the existing sod on the job site. After constructing the water
1
1
line and backfilling the trench, the sod shall be replaced to a condition
' equal to or better than that prior to construction. In the event that
insufficient sod has been stored, or sod has been lost or destroyed, the
Contractor shall be responsible for providing and installing new solid sod
of the existing type to complete the cleanup.
' 2. Class II Cleanup - Fields. Meadows. Etc. The trench shall be backfilled
in accordance with the Pipe Specifications. After the backfill is
completed and the surface over the trench left slightly rounded, the area
' shall be machine raked to remove all rock to a condition equal to the
existing surface on the better side of the adjacent existing right of way.
All excess excavated material shall be removed from the site, including
excess material which has accumulated around fence poets, trees,
' mailboxes, etc. All areas which have been disturbed, such as that caused
by equipment tracks, shall be carefully backfilled and repaired as though
it were a part of the actual trench excavation. Seeding and fertilizing
of these areas is required using the seed mixture and application rates
set out below (percent expressed in terms of weight).
Field Fescue 40%
Rye Grass (Annual) 40%
White Clover (Common) 20%
After the aLea has been accepted, it shall be seeded at the rate of 0.15
pounds per 100 square feet. During or after seeding is complete, all
areas shall be covered with 10-20-10 fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds
per acre, or approximately one-half pound per 100 square feet. No
watering will be required. However, after seeding and fertilization the
entire area shall be rolled with a roller of sufficient size and weight to
achieve a smooth finished surface prior to mulching.
Where the existing field grass is Bermuda, or other type not specified
above, the Contractor shall place such topsoil as required, and shall seed
' with the existing type grass so that an equivalent ground cover will be
provided.
Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed
' shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to
provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread.
3. Class III Cleanup - Steep. Wooded or Rocky Areas. The trench shall be
' backfilled in accordance with the Pipe Specifications. After the trench
backfill is complete, all damaged brush of every type shall be cut just
below ground surface and all damaged limbs shall be trimmed. All brush
and debris shall be disposed of by the Contractor and the entire area
shall be machine raked so that the area of construction is in a condition
equal to the existing surface on the better side of the existing adjacent
right of way.
The area of the trench line shall then be seeded and fertilized at the
rate of 0.15 pounds per 100 square feet using the same seed mixture,
fertilizer and application rates as set out under Class II cleanup, except
that tall fescue (Kentucky 31) shall be used in place of field fescue.
Straw mulch consisting of good grade clean straw, free of weeds or seed
shall be placed over seeded areas and shall be uniformly spread so as to
provide a thickness of approximately 2 inches when first spread.
' 4. Special Cleanup and Restoration Requirements.
All work which is performed in the street as required and shown on the plans,
' shall be left in a clean and neat manner in accordance with the plan details.
The contractor shall clean, remove and dispose of any excess material and leave
the trench ready for repairs by the City.
2
S. All Areas. All work within the construction area shall be cleaned to the
'
satisfaction of the owner. In general, all rocks, trash or rubbish of any
nature shall be removed from the site of the work.
During construction, the Contractor shall at all times keep work areas in
' a clean, neat and workmanlike condition. Excess pipe, excavation, brush
and materials of construction shall be removed and disposed of as the work
progresses. In built-up areas, including lawns, the job site shall be
cleaned up immediately behind construction. Streets and driveways blocked
' by excess materials after basic construction is completed will not be
tolerated.
If the trench should settle while the Contractor is still on the job or
' within one year of the project completion date, the Contractor shall make
the requires repairs at no additional cost to the Owner in accordance with
the continuing responsibility provisions of these Specifications.
Failure of Contractor to make necessary repairs during the one year period
' will be cause for Owner to make or contract for such repairs and invoice
the Contractor for all costs.
6. Restoration of Damaged Surfaces and Property. Where any pavement, trees,
shrubbery, fences, poles or other property and surface structures have
been damaged, removed or disturbed by the Contractor, whether deliberately
or through failure to carry out the requirements of the contract
documents, state laws, municipal ordinances, or through failure to employ
' usual and reasonable safeguards, such property and surface structures
shall be replaced or repaired at the expense of the Contractor.
7. Access after Construction. Unless otherwise directed, all areas shall be
' graded after construction so as to be accessible by four wheel drive
vehicle.

The Contractor, under the Engineer's supervision, shall take samples and make
tests as hereinafter listed for each 40 cubic yards of fresh concrete or fraction
thereof placed on the project, but not lees than one set for each day's concrete
placement. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to collect all samples,
prepare casting specimens, protect, cure, transport, and pay for all costs
associated with testing. The project inspector shall inspect the preparation of
all specimens.
Slump Teets: Tests for slump shall be made at the place of deposit and in
accordance with ASTM C-143. Tests shall be made periodically, when cylinders are
made, and as often in the opinion of the Engineer when a change in consistency
of the concrete mix is noted. The Contractor shall have a slump cone at the job
site at all times when concreting operations are in progress. Unless otherwise
noted or specified, the slump shall be within the limits of 1 to 4 inches.
Compression and Strength Tests: Each test shall consist of four standard 6 inch

cylinders at the age of 28 days. Samples shall be taken, cured and tested in
accordance with latest ASTM standards.
When the ultimate compressive strength of any cylinder falls below the specified
strength for the class of concrete specified, the design mix and water content
shall be adjusted to produce the specified strength for concrete that is
subsequently placed. In addition, the Engineer may order additional curing for
that portion of the structure where the questionable concrete has been placed.
In the event that such additional curing does not give the strength required, as
determined by load tests made in accordance with ACI 318, or cored cylinder
tests, and if such tests indicate the necessity, the defective parts shall be
removed and replaced, or shall be reinforced as directed by the Engineer, at the
Contractor's expense, including the expense of the teats.

tions are defined to include trenches.
(b) Definitions applicable to this
subpart. -
Accepted engineering practices
means those requirements which are
compatible with standards of practice
required by a registered professional
engineer.
Aluminum Hydraulic Shoring means
a pre-engineered shoring system com-
prised of aluminum hydraulic cylin-
ders (crossbraces) used in conjunction
with vertical rails (uprights) or hori-
zontal rails (wafers). Such system is
designed, specifically to support the
sidewalls of an excavation and prevent
cave -fns.

Benching (Benching system) means
a method of protecting employees
from cave-ins by excavating the sides
of an excavation to form one or a
series of horizontal levels or steps,
usually with vertical or near -vertical
surfaces between levels.
Cave-in means the separation of a
mass of soil or rock material from the
side of an excavation, or the loss of
soil from under a trench shield or sup-
port system, and its sudden movement
into the excavation, either by falling
or sliding, in sufficient quantity so
that it could entrap, bury, or other-
wise injure and immobilize a person.
Competent person means one who is
capable of identifying existing and
predictable hazards in the surround-
ings, or working conditions which are
unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous
to employees, and who has authoriza-
tion to take prompt corrective meas-
lires to eliminate them.
Cross braces mean the horizontal
members of a shoring system installed
perpendicular to the sides of the exca-
vation, the ends of which bear against
either uprights or wales.
Excavation means any man-made
cut, cavity, trench, or depression in an
earth surface, formed by earth remov-
al.
Faces or sides means the vertical or
inclined earth surfaces formed as a
result of excavation work.
Failure means the breakage, dis-
placement, or permanent deformation
of a structural member or connection
so as to reduce its structural integrity
and its supportive capabilities. -
Hazardous atmosphere means an at-
mosphere which by reason of being ex-
plosive, flammable, poisonous, corro-
sive, oxidizing, irritating, oxygen defi-
cient, toxic, or otherwise harmful, may
cause death, illness, or injury.
Kickout means the accidental re-
lease or failure of a cross brace.
Protective system means a method of
protecting employees from cave-ins,
from material that could fall or roll
from an excavation face or into an ex-
cavation, or from the collapse of adja-
cent structures. Protective systems in-
clude support systems, sloping and
benching systems, shield systems, and
other systems that provide the neces-
sary protection.
Ramp means an inclined walking or
working surface that is used to gain
access to one point from another, and
is constructed from earth or from
structural materials such as steel or
wood.
Registered Professional Engineer
means a person who is registered as a
professional engineer in the state
where the work is to be performed.
However, a professional engineer, reg-
istered in any state is deemed to be a
"registered professional engineer"
within the meaning of this standard
when approving designs for "manufac-
tured protective systems" or "tabulat-
ed data" to be used in interstate com-
merce.
Sheeting means the members of a
shoring system that retain the earth
in position and in turn are supported
by other members of the shoring
system.
Shield (Shield system) means a
structure that is able to withstand the
forces imposed on it by a cave-in and
thereby protect employees within the
structure. Shields can be permanent
structures or can be designed to be
portable and moved along as work pro-
gresses. Additionally, shields can be
either premanufactured or job -built in
accordance with § 1926.652 (c)(3) or
(c)(4). Shields used in trenches are
usually referred to as "trench boxes"
or "trench shields."
Shoring (Shoring system) means a
structure such as a metal hydraulic,
mechanical or timber shoring system
that supports the sides of an excava-
tion and which is designed to- prevent
cave-ins.
Sides. See "Faces."
Sloping (Sloping system) means a
method of protecting employees from
cave-ins by excavating to form sides of
an excavation that are inclined away
from the excavation so as to prevent
cave-ins. The angle of incline required
to prevent a cave-in varies with differ-
ences in such factors as the soil type,
environmental conditions of exposure,
and application of surcharge loads.
Stable rock means natural solid min-
eral material that can be excavated
with vertical sides and will remain
intact while exposed. Unstable rock is
considered to be stable when the rock
material on the side or sides of the ex -
219
§ 1926.651
29 CFR Ch. XVii (7-1-92 Edition)
cavation is secured against caving -in o
movement by rock bolts or by anothe
protective system that has been de
signed by a registered professional en
gineer.
Structural ramp means a ramp buil
of steel or wood, usually used for vehi
cle access. Ramps made of soil or rock
are not considered structural ramps.
Support system means a structure
such as underpinning, bracing, or
shoring, which provides support to
adjacent structure,, underground in-
stallation, or the sides of an excava-
tion.
Tabulated data means tables and
charts approved"by a registered profes-
sional engineer and used to design and
construct a protective system.
Trench (Trench excavation) means a
narrow excavation (in relation to its
length) made below the surface of the
ground. .In general, the depth is great-
er than the width, but the width of a
trench (measured at the bottom) is
°not greater than 15 feet (4.6 m). If
forms or other structures are installed
or constructed in an excavation so as
to reduce the dimension measured
from the forms or structure to the side
of the excavation to 15 feet (4.6 m) or
less (measured at the bottom of the
excavation), the excavation is also con-
sidered to be a trench.
Trench bow See "Shield."
Trench shield. See "Shield."
Uprights means the vertical mem-
bers of a trench shoring system placed
in contact with the earth and usually
positioned so that individual members
do not contact each other. Uprights
placed so that individual members are
closely spaced, in contact with or
interconnected to each other, are
often called "sheeting."
Wales means horizontal members of
a shoring system placed parallel to the
excavation face whose sides bear
against the vertical members of the
shoring system or earth.

ty companies or owners cannot re-
spond to a request to locate under-
ground utility installations within 24
hours (unless a longer period is re-
quired by state or local law), or cannot
establish the exact location of these
installations, the employer may pro-
ceed, provided the employer does so
with caution, and provided detection
equipment or other acceptable means
to locate utility installations are used.
(3) When excavation operations ap-
proach the estimated location of un-
derground installations, the exact lo-
cation of the installations shall be de-
termined by safe and acceptable
means.
(4) While the excavation is open, un-
derground installations shall be pro-
tected, supported or removed as neces-
sary to safeguard employees.

cavation, a warning system shall be
utilized such as barricades, hand or
mechanical signals, or stop logs. If pos-
sible, the grade should be away from
the excavation.
(g) Hazardous atmospheres —(1)
Testing and controls. In addition to
the requirements set forth in subparts
D and E of this part (29 CFR 1926.50-
1926.107) to prevent exposure to
harmful levels of atmospheric con-
taminants and to assure acceptable at-

work in an excavation. This equipment
shall be attended when in use.
(ii) Employees entering bell-bottom
pier holes, or other similar deep and
confined footing excavations, shall
wear a harness with a life -line securely
attached to it. The lifeline shall be
separate from any line used to handle
materials, and shall be individually at-
tended at all times while the employee
wearing the lifeline is in the excava-
tion.
(h) Protection from hazards associ-
ated with water accumulation. (1) Em-
ployees shall not work in excavations
in which there is accumulated water,
or in excavations in which water is ac-
cumulating, unless adequate precau-
tions have been taken to protect em-
ployees against the hazards posed by

gether with the removal of support
systems from excavations.
(2) Additional requirements for sup-
port systems for trench excavations. (i)
Excavation of material to a level no
greater than 2 feet (.61 m) below the
bottom of the members of a support
system shall be permitted, but only if
the system is designed to resist the
forces calculated for the full depth of
the trench, and there are no indica-
tions while the trench is open of a pos-
sible loss of soil from behind or below
the bottom of the support system.

the shield.
APPENDIX A TO SUBPART P -SOIL
CLASSIFICATION
(a) Scope and application —(1) Scope. This
appendix describes a method of classifying
soil and rock deposits based on site and envi-
ronmental conditions, and on the structure
and composition of the earth deposits. The
appendix contains definitions, sets forth re-
quirements, and describes acceptable visual
and manual tests for use in classifying soils.
(2) Application. This appendix applies
when a• sloping or benching system is de-
signed in accordance with the requirements
set forth in § 1926.652(b)(2) as a method of
protection for employees from cave-ins.
This appendix also applies when timber
shoring for excavations is designed as a
method of protection from rave -ins in ac-
cordance with appendix C to subpart P of
part 1926, and when aluminum hydraulic
shoring is designed in accordance with ap-
pendix D. This Appendix also applies if
other protective systems are designed and
selected for use from data prepared in ac-
cordance with the requirements set forth in
§ 1926.652(c), and the use of the data is
225
Subpt. P, App. A
29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-92 Edition)
predicated on the use of the soil classifica-
tion system set forth in this appendix.
(b) Definitions. The definitions and exam-
ples given below are based on, in whole or in
part, the following: American Society for
Testing Materials (ASTM) Standards D653-
85 and D2488; The Unified Soils Classifica-
tion System, The U.S. Department of Agri-
culture (USDA) Textural Classification
Scheme; and The National Bureau of Stand-
ards Report BSS -121.
Cemented soil means a soil in which the
particles are held together by a chemical
agent, such as calcium carbonate, such that
a hand -size sample cannot be crushed into
powder or individual soil particles by finger
pressure.
Cohesive soil means clay (fine grained
soil), or soil with a high clay content, which
has cohesive strength. Cohesive soil does
not crumble, can be excavated with vertical
sideslopes, and is plastic when moist. Cohe-
sive soil is hard to break up when dry, and
exhibits significant cohesion when sub-
merged. Cohesive sails include clayey silt.
sandy clay, silty clay, clay and organic clay.
Dry soil means soil that does not exhibit
visible signs of moisture content.
Fissured means a soil material that has a
tendency to break along definite planes of
fracture with little resistance, or a material
that exhibits open cracks, such as tension
cracks, in an exposed surface.
Granular soil means gravel, sand, or silt,
(coarse grained soil) with little or no clay
content. Granular soil has no cohesive
strength. Some moist granular soils exhibit
apparent cohesion. Granular soil cannot be
molded when moist and crumbles easily
when dry.
Layered system means two or more dis-
tinctly different soil or rock types arranged
in layers. Micaceous seams or weakened
planes in rock or shale are considered lay-
ered.
Moist soil means a condition in which a
soil looks and feels damp. Moist cohesive.
soil can easily be shaped into a ball and
rolled into small diameter threads before
crumbling. Moist granular soil that contains
some cohesive material will exhibit signs of
cohesion between particles.
Plastic means a property of a soil which
allows the soil to be deformed or molded
without cracking, or appreciable volume
change.
Saturated soil means a soil in which the
voids are filled with water. Saturation does
not require flow. Saturation, or near satura-
tion, is necessary for the proper use of in-
struments such as a pocket penetrometer or
sheer vane.
Soil classification system means, for the
purpose of this subpart, a method of catego-
rizing soil and rock deposits in a hierarchy
of Stable Rock, Type A, Type B, and Type
C, in decreasing order of stability. The cate-
gories are determined based on an analysis
of the properties and performance charac-
teristics of the deposits and the environ-
mental conditions of exposure.
Stable rock means, natural solid mineral
matter that can be excavated with vertical
sides and remain intact while exposed...
Submerged soil means soil which is under-
water or is free seeping.
Type A means cohesive soils with an un-
confined compressive strength of 1.5 ton per
square foot (tsf) (144 kPa) or greater. Exam-
ples of cohesive soils are: clay, silty clay,
sandy clay, clay loam and, in some cases.
silty . clay loam and sandy clay loam. Ce-
mented soils such as caliche and hardpan
are also considered'Type A. However, no soil
is Type A if: -'
(i) The soil is fissured; or
(ii) The soil is subject to vibration from
heavy traffic, pile driving, or similar effects;
or
(iii) The soil has been previously dis-
turbed; or
(iv) The soil is part of a sloped, layered
system where the layers dip into the excava-
tion on a slope of four horizontal to one ver-
tical (4H:1V) or greater; or
(v) The material is subject to other factors
that would require it to be classified as a
less stable material.
Type B means:
(i) Cohesive soil with an unconfined com-
pressive strength greater than 0.5 tsf (48
kPa) but less than 1.5 tsf (144 kPa); or
(ii) Granular cohesionless soils including:
angular gravel (similar to crushed rock), silt,
silt loam, sandy loam and, in some cases,
silty clay loam and sandy clay loam.
(iii) Previously disturbed soils except
those which would otherwise be classed as
Type C soil
(iv) Soil that meets the unconfined com-
pressive strength or cementation require-
ments for Type A, but is fissured or subject
to vibration; or
(v) Dry rock that is not stable; or
(vi) Material that is part of a sloped, lay-
ered system where the layers dip into the
excavation on a slope less steep than four
horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V), but only
if the material would otherwise be classified
as Type B.
Type C means:
(i) Cohesive soil with an unconfined com-
pressive strength of 0.5 tsf (48 kPa) or less;
or
(ii) Granular soils including gravel, sand,
and loamy sand; or
(iii) Submerged soil or soil from which
water is freely seeping; or
(iv) Submerged rock that is not stable, or
(v) Material in a sloped, layered system
where the layers dip into the excavation or
a slope of four horizontal to one vertical
(4H:1V) or steeper.

Unconfined compressive strength means
the load per unit area at which a soil will
fail in compression. It can be determined by
laboratory testing, or estimated in the field
using a pocket penetrometer, by thumb pen-
etration tests, and other methods.
Wet soil means soil that contains signifi-
cantly more moisture than moist soil, but in
such a range of values that cohesive materi-
al will slump or begin to flow when vibrated.
Granular material that would exhibit cohe-
sive properties when moist will lose those
cohesive properties when wet.
(c) Requirements—Cl) Classification of
soil and rock deposits. Each soil and rock
deposit shall be classified by a competent
person as Stable Rock, Type A, Type B, or
Type C in accordance with the definitions
set forth in paragraph (b) of this appendix.
(2) Basis of classification. The classifica-
tion of the deposits shall be made based on
the results of at least one visual and at least
one manual analysis. Such analyses shall be
conducted by a competent person using
tests described in paragraph (d) below, or in
other recognized methods of soil classifica-
tion and testing such as those adopted by
the America Society for Testing Materials,
or the U.S. Department of Agriculture tex-
tural classification system.
(3) Visual and manual analyses. The
visual and manual analyses, such as those
noted as being acceptable in paragraph (d)
of this appendix, shall be designed and con-
ducted to provide sufficient quantitative
and qualitative information as may be nec-
essary to identify properly the properties,
factors, and conditions affecting the classifi-
cation of the deposits.
(4) Layered systems. In a layered system,
the system shall be classified in accordance
with its weakest layer. However, each layer
may be classified individually where a more
stable layer lies under a less stable layer.
(5) Reclassification. If, after classifying a
deposit, the properties, factors, or condi-
tions affecting its classification change in
any way, the changes shall be evaluated by
a competent person. The deposit shall be re-
classified as necessary to reflect the
changed circumstances.
(d) Acceptable visual and manual tests. —
(1) Visual tests. Visual analysis is conducted
to determine qualitative information regard-
ing the excavation site in general, the soil
adjacent to the excavation- the soil forming
the sides of the open excavation, and the
soil taken as samples from excavated mate-
rial.
(i) Observe samples of soil that arc exca-
vated and soil in the sides of the excavation.
Estimate the range of particle sizes and the
relative amounts of the particle sizes. Soil
that is primarily composed of fine-grained
material is cohesive material Soil composed
primarily of coarse -grained sand or gravel is
granular material.
(ii) Observe soil as it is excavated. Soil
that remains In clumps when excavated is
cohesive. Soil that breaks up easily and does
not stay in clumps is granular.
(ill) Observe the side of the opened exca-
vation and the surface area adjacent to the
excavation. Crack -like openings such as ten-
sion cracks could indicate fissured material.
If chunks of soil spall off a vertical side, the
soil could be fissured. Small spalls are evi-
dence of moving ground and are indications
of potentially hazardous situations.
(iv) Observe the area adjacent to the exca-
vation and the excavation itself for evidence
of existing utility and other underground
structures, and to identify previously dis-
turbed soil.
(v) Observe the opened side of the excava-
tion to identify layered systems. Examine
layered systems to identify if the layers
slope toward the excavation. Estimate the
degree of slope of the layers.
(vi) Observe the area adjacent to the exca-
vation and the sides of the opened excava-
tion for evidence of surface water, water
seeping from the sides of the excavation, or
the location of the level of the water table.
(vii) Observe the area adjacent to the ex-
cavation and the area within the excavation
for sources of vibration that may affect the
stability of the excavation face.
(2) Manual tests. Manual analysis of soil
samples is conducted to determine quantita-
tive as well as qualitative properties of soil
and to provide more information in order to
classify soil properly.
(i) Plasticity. Mold a moist or wet sample
of soil into a ball and attempt to roll it into
threads as thin as V. -inch in diameter. Cohe-
sive material can be successfully rolled into
threads without crumbling. For example, if
at least a two inch (50 mm) length of Vrinch
thread can be held on one end without tear-
ing, the soil is cohesive.
(ii) Dry strength. If the soil is dry and
crumbles on its own or with moderate pres-
sure into individual grains or fine powder, it
is granular (any combination of gravel,
sand, or silt). If the soil is dry and falls into
clumps which break up into smaller clumps,
but the smaller clumps can only be broken
up. with difficulty, it may be clay in any
combination with gravel, sand or silt. If the
dry soil breaks into clumps which do not
break up into small clumps and which can
only be broken with difficulty, and there is
no visual indication the soil is fissured, the
soil may be considered unfissured.
(iii) Thumb penetration. The thumb pene-
tration test can be used to estimate the un-
confined compressive strength of cohesive
soils. (This test is based on the thumb pene-
tration test described in American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard
designation D2488 —"Standard Recommend-
ed Practice for Description of Soils (Visual -
227
Subpt. P,.App. B
29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-92 Edition)
Manual Procedure).') Type A soils with an
unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 tsf
can be readily indented by the thumb; how-
ever, they can be penetrated by the thumb
only with very great effort. Type C soils
with an unconfined compressive strength of
0.5 tsf can be easily penetrated several
inches by the thumb, and can be molded by
light finger pressure. This test should be
conducted on an undisturbed soil sample,
such as a large clump of spoil, as soon as
practicable after excavation to keep to a mi-
minum the effects of exposure to drying In-
fluences..If the excavation is later exposed
to wetting influences (rain, flooding), the
classification of the soil must be changed ac-
cordingly.
(Iv) Other strength tests. Estimates of un-
confined compressive strength .of soils can
also be obtained by use of a pocket pene-
trometer or by using a hand -operated shear -
vane.
(v) Drying test. The basic purpose of the
drying test is to differentiate between cohe-
sive material with fissures, unfissured cohe-
sive material, and granular material. The
procedure for the drying test involves
drying a sample of soil that is approximate-
ly one inch thick (2.54 cm) and six inches
(15.24 cm) in diameter until it is thoroughly
dry:
(A) If the sample develops cracks as it
dries, significant fissures are. indicated.
(B) Samples that dry without cracking are
to be broken by hand. If considerable force
is necessary to break a sample, the soil has
significant cohesive material content. The
soil can be classified as a unfissured cohe-
sive material and the unconfined compres-
sive strength should be determined.
(C) If a sample breaks easily by hand. it is
either a fissured cohesive material or a
granular material. To distinguish between
the two, pulverize the dried clumps of the
sample by hand or by stepping on them. If
the clumps do not pulverize easily, the ma-
terial is cohesive with fissures. If they pul-
verize easily into very small fragments, the
material is granular.
APPENDIx B TO SUBPART P -SLOPING
AND BENCHING
(a) Scope and application. This appendix
contains specifications for sloping and
benching when used as methods of protect-
ing employees working in excavations from
cave-ins. The requirements of this appendix
apply when the design of sloping and bench -
ing protective systems is to be performed in
accordance with the requirements set forth
in 3 1926.652(b)(2).
(b) Definitions.
Actual slope means the slope to which an
excavation face is excavated.
Distress means that the soil is in a condi-
tion where a cave-in is imminent or is likely
to occur. Distress is evidenced by such -phe-
nomena as the development of fissures in
the face of or adjacent to an open excava-
tion: the subsidence of the edge of an exca-
vation; the slumping of material from the
face or the bulging or heaving of material
from the bottom of an excavation; the spall-
ing of material from the face of an excava-
tion; and ravelling, i.e., small amounts of
material such as pebbles or little clumps of
material suddenly separating from the face
of an excavation and trickling or rolling
down into the excavation.
Maximum allowable slope means the
steepest incline of an excavation face that is
acceptable for the most favorable site condi-
tions as protection against cave-ins, and is
expressed as the ratio of horizontal distance
to vertical rise (H:V).
Short term exposure means a period of
time less than or equal to 24 hours that an
excavation is open.
(c) Requirements —(1) Soil classification.
Soil and rock deposits shall be classified in
accordance with appendix A to subpart P of
part 1926.
(2) Maximum allowable slope. The maxi-
mum allowable slope for a soil or rock de-
posit shall be determined from Table B-1 of
this appendix.
(3) Actual slope. (i) The actual slope shall
not be steeper than the maximum allowable
slope.
(ii) The actual slope shall be less steep
than the maximum allowable slope, when
there are signs of distress. If that situation
occurs, the slope shall be cut back to an
actual slope which is at least ½ horizontal
to one vertical (%H:1V) less steep than the
maximum allowable slope.
(iii) When surcharge loads from stored
material or equipment, operating equip-
ment, or traffic are present, a competent
person shall determine the degree to which
the actual slope must be reduced below the
maximum allowable slope, and shall assure
that such reduction is achieved. Surcharge
loads from adjacent structures shall be eval-
uated in accordance with § 1926.651(1).
(4) Configurations. Configurations of slop-
ing and benching systems shall be in accord-
ance with Figure B-1.

APPENDIX C TO SUBPART P -TIMBER
SHORING FOR TRENCHES
(a) Scope. This appendix contains infor-
mation that can be used timber shoring is
provided as a method of protection from
cave-ins in trenches that do not exceed 20
feet (6.1 m) in depth. This appendix must be
used when design of timber shoring protec-
tive systems is to be performed in accord-
ance with § 1926.652(c)(1). Other timber
shoring configurations; other systems of
support such as hydraulic and pneumatic
systems; and other protective systems such
as sloping, benching, shielding, and freezing
systems must be designed in accordance
with the requirements set forth in
§ 1926.652(b) and § 1926.652(c).
(b) Soil Classification. In order to use the
data presented in this appendix, the soil
type or types in which the excavation is
made must first be determined using the
soil classification method set forth in appen-
dix A of subpart P of this part.
(c) Presentation of Information. Informa-
tion is presented in several forms as follows:
(1) Information Is presented in tabular
form in Tables C-1.1, C-1.2, and C-1.3, and
Tables C-2.1, C-2.2 and C-2.3 following
ri
236
i
Occupational:Safety and Health Admin., Labor
Subpt.P App. C
paragraph (g) of the appendix. Each table
presents'the minimum sizes of timber mem-
bers to use in a shoring system, and each
table.containc data only for the particular
soU..type in which the excavation -or portion
of the excavation is made. The data are ar-
ranged to allow the user the flexibility to
select from among several acceptable con-
figluatldus of members based on varying
the horizontal spr.cing of the crossbraces.
Stable rock is'exempt from shoring require-
ments and therefore, no datatrepresented
for this condition.
.(2) Information concerning the basis of
the tabular data and the limitations of the
data is presented in paragraph (d) of .this
appendix, and on the tables themselves.
(3) Information explaining the use of the
tabular data is presented in paragraph (e) of
this appendix.
(4) Information illustrating the use of the
tabular data is presented in paragraph (f) of
this appendix.
(5) Miscellaneous notations regarding
Tables C-1.1 through C-1.3 and Tables C-
2.1 through C-2.3 are presented in para-
graph (g) of this Appendix.
(d) Basis and limitations of the data. —(1)
Dimensions of timber members. (i) The sizes
of the timber members listed in Tables C-
1.1 through C-1.3 are taken from the Na-
tional Bureau of Standards (NBS) report,
"Recommended Technical Provisions fox -
Construction Practice in Shoring and Slop-
ing of Trenches and Excavations." In addi-
tion, where NBS did not recommend specific
sizes of members, member sizes are based on
an analysis of the sizes required for use by
existing codes and on empirical practice.
(ii) The required dimensions of the mem-
bers listed in Tables C-1.1 through C-1.3
refer to actual dimensions and not nominal
dimensions of the timber. Employers want-
ing to use nominal size shoring are directed
to Tables C-2.1 through C-2.3, or have this
choice under § 1926.652(c)(3),- and are re-
ferred to The Corps of Engineers, The
Bureau of Reclamation or data from other
acceptable sources.
(2) Limitation of application. (1) It is not
intended that the timber shoring specifica-
tion apply to every situation that may be
experienced in the field. These data were
developed to apply to the situations that are
most commonly experienced in current
trenching practice. Shoring systems for use
In situations that are not covered by the
data in this appendix must be designed as
specified in § 1926.652(c).
(ii) When any of the following conditions
are present, the members specified in the
tables are not considered adequate. Either
an alternate timber shoring system must be
designed or another type of protective
system designed in accordance with
§ 1926.652.
'(A) When loads imposed by structures or
by stored material adjacent to the trench
weigh in excess of the load imposed by a
two -foot soil -surcharge. The term "adja-
cent" as used here means the area within a
horizontal distance from the• edge of the
-trench equal to the depth of.the trench.
(B) When vertical.ioads imposed -on cross
braces exceed a 240 -pound gravity load dis-
tributed on a one -foot section of the center
of the crossbrace.
(C) When surcharge loads are 'present
from equipment weighing in excess of 20,000
pounds.
(D) When only the lower portion of a
trench is shored and the remaining portion
of the trench is sloped or benched unless:
The sloped portion is sloped at an angle less
steep than three horizontal to one vertical;
or the members are selected from the tables
for use at a depth which is determined from
the top of the overall trench, and not from
the toe of the sloped portion.
(e) Use of Tables. The members of the
shoring system that are to be selected using
this information are the cross braces, the
uprights, and the wales, where wales are re-
quired. Minimum sizes of members are spec-
ified for use in different types of soil. There
are six tables of information, two for each
soil type. The soil type must first be deter-
mined in accordance with the soil classifica-
tion system described in appendix A to sub-
part P of part 1926. Using the appropriate
table, the selection of the size and spacing
of the members is then made. The selection
is based on the depth and width of the
trench where the members are to be in-
stalled and, in most instances, the selection
is also based on the horizontal spacing of
the crossbraces. Instances where a choice of
horizontal spacing of crossbracing is avail-
able, the horizontal spacing of the cross -
braces must be chosen by the user before
the size of any member can be determined
When the soil type, the width and depth of
the trench, and the horizontal spacing of
the crossbraces are known, the size and ver-
tical spacing of the crossbraces, the size and
vertical spacing of the wales, and the size
and horizontal spacing of the uprights can
be read from the appropriate table.
(f)Examples to Illustrate the Use of Tables
C-1.1 through C-1.3.
(1) Example 1.
A trench dug in Type A soil is 13 feet deep
and five feet wide.
From Table C-1.1, for acceptable arrange-
ments of timber can be used.
Arrangement #1
Space 4x4 crossbraces at six feet horl-on-
tally and four feet vertically.
Wales are not required.
237
Subpt. P, App. C
Space 3x8 uprights at six feet horizontal-
ly. This arrangement is commonly called
"skip shoring.•,
Arrangement #2
Space 4x6 crossbraces at eight feet hori-
zontally and four feet vertically.
Space 8x8 wales at four feet vertically.
Space 2x6 uprights at four feet horizon-
tally.
Arrangement #3
Space 6x6 crossbraces at 10 feet horizon-
tally and four feet vertically.
Space 8x10 wales at four feet vertically.
Space 2x6 uprights at five feet horizontal-
ly.
Arrangement #4
Space 6x6 crossbraces at 12 feet horizon-
tally and four feet vertically.
Space 10x10 wales at four feet vertically.
Spaces 3x8 uprights at six feet horizon-
tally. -
(2) Example 2.
A trench dug in Type B soil in 13 feet
deep and five feet wide. From Table C-1.2
three acceptable arrangements of members
are listed.
Arrangement #1
Space 6x6 crossbraces at six feet horizon-
tally and five feet vertically.
Space 8x8 wales at five feet vertically.
Space 2x6 uprights at two feet horizontal-
ly.
Arrangement #2
Space 6x8 crossbraces at eight feet hori-
zontally and five feet vertically.
Space 10x10 wales at five feet vertically.
Space 2x6 uprights at two feet horizontal-
ly.
Arrangement #3
Space 8x8 crossbraces at 10 feet horizon-
tally and five feet vertically.
Space lOx 12 wales at five feet vertically.
Space 2x6 uprights at two feet vertically.
(3) Example 3.
A trench dug in Type C soil is 13 feet deep
and five feet wide.
From Table C-1.3 two acceptable arrange-
ments of members can be used.
Arrangement #1
Space 8x8 crossbraces at six feet horizon-
tally and five feet vertically.
Space 10x12 wales at five feet vertically.
Position 2x6 uprights as closely together
as possible.
If water must be retained use special
tongue and groove uprights to form tight
sheeting.
29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-92 Edition)
Arrangement #2
Space 8x10 crossbraces at eight feet hori-
zontally and five feet vertically.
Space 12x12 wales at five feet vertically.
Position 2x6 uprights in a close sheeting
configuration unless water pressure must be
resisted. Tight sheeting must be used where
water must be retained.
(4) Example 4.
A trench dug in Type C soil is 20 feet deep
and 11 feet wide. The size and spacing of
members for the section of trench that is
over 15 feet in depth is determined using
Table C-1.3. Only one arrangement of mem-
bers is provided.
Space 8 x 10 crossbraces at six feet hori-
zontally and five feet vertically.
Space 12x 12 wales at five feet vertically.
Use 3x6 tight sheeting.
Use of Tables C-2.1 through C-2.3 would
follow the same procedures.
(g) Notes for all Tables. -
1. Member sizes at spacings other than in-
dicated are to be determined as specified in
§ 1926.652(c), "Design of Protective Sys-
tems."
2. When conditions are saturated or sub-
merged use Tight Sheeting. Tight Sheeting
refers to the use of specially -edged timber
planks (e.g., tongue and groove) at least
three inches thick, steel sheet piling, or
similar construction that when driven or
placed in position provide a tight wall to
resist the lateral pressure ofwater and to
prevent the loss of backfill material. Close
Sheeting refers to the placement of planks
side -by -side allowing as little space as possi-
ble between them.
3. All spacing indicated is measured center
to center.
4. Wales to be installed with greater di-
mension horizontal.
5. If the vertical distance from the center
of the lowest crossbrace to the bottom of
the trench exceeds two and one-half feet,
uprights shall be firmly embedded or a
mudsill shall be used. Where uprights are
embedded, the vertical distance from the
center of the lowest crossbrace to the
bottom of the trench shall not exceed 36
inches. When mudsills are used, the vertical
distance shall not exceed 42 inches. Mudsills
are wales that are installed at the toe of the
trench side.
6. Trench Jacks may be used in lieu of or
in combination with timber crossbraces.
7. Placement cf crossbraces. When the ver-
tical spacing of crossbraces is four feet,
place the top crossbrace no more than two
feet below the top of the trench. When the
vertical spacing of crossbraces is five feet,
place the top crossbrace no more than 2.5
feet below the top of the trench.

.HYDRAULIC SHORING FOR 71LENCIMS
'(a) Scopt'ThLs appendix contains infor-
mation that -can be used when aluminum
hydraulic shoring is provided as a method
of protec on : against cave-ins in trenches
i,hat.do not exceed 20 feet (6.1m) in aiepth.•
This appendix must be used when design of
the aluminum hydraulic protective system
cannot be performed in accordance with
4 1926.652(c)(2).
(b) Soil Classification. In order to use
data presented in this appendix, the soil
type or types in which the excavation is
made must first be determined using the
soil classification method set forth in appen-
dix A of subpart P of part 1926.
(c) .Presentation of Information. informa-
tion is presented in several forms as follows:
(1) Information is presented in tabular
form in Tables D-1.1. D-1.2, D-1.3 and E-
1.4. Each table presents the maximum verti-.
cal and horizontal spacings that may be
used with various aluminum member sizes
and various hydraulic cylinder sizes. Each
table contains data only for the particular
soil type in which the excavation or portion
of the excavation Is made. Tables D-1.1 and
D-1.2 are for vertical shores in Types A and
B soil. Tables D-1.3 and D1.4 are for hori-
zontal waler systems in Types B and C soil.
(2) Information concerning the basis of
the tabular data and the limitations of the
data is presented in paragraph (d) of this
appendix.
(3) Information explaining the use of the
tabular data is presented in paragraph (e) of
this appendix.
(4) Information illustrating the use of the
tabular data is presented in paragraph (1) of
this appendix.
(5) Miscellaneous notations (footnotes) re-
garding Table D-1.1 through D-1.4 are pre-
sented in paragraph (g) of this appendix.
(6) Figures, illustrating typical installa-
tions of hydraulic shoring, are included just
prior to the Tables. The illustrations page is
entitled "Aluminum Hydraulic Shoring:
Typical Installations."
(d) Basis and limitations of the data.
(1) Vertical shore rails and horizontal
wales are those that meet the Section Mod-
ulus requirements in the D-1 Tables. Alumi-
num material is 6061-T6 or material of
equivalent strength and properties.
(2) Hydraulic cylinders specifications. (i)
2 -inch cylinders shall be a minimum 2 -inch
inside diameter with a minimum safe work-
Ing capacity of no less than 18,000 pounds
axial compressive load at maximum exten-
sion. Maximum extension is to include full
range of cylinder extensions as recommend-
ed by product manufaturer.
(ii) 3 -inch cylinders shall be a minimum 3 -
inch Inside diameter with a safe working ca-
pacity of not less than 30,000 pounds axial
compressive load at'extensions as recom-
mended by product manufacturer.
(3) Limitation of application.
(I) It is not Intended that the aluminum
hydraulic specification apply to every situa-
tlpn that may be experienced in the field.
These .data were developed to. apply to the
situations that are most commonly expert-
..enced in current trenching practice. Shoring
systems for use in Situations that are not
covered by the .data in this appendix must
be otherwise designed as specified in
i 1926.652(c).
(ii) When any of the following conditions
are present, the members specified in the .
Tables are not considered adequate. In this
case, an alternative aluminum hydraulic
shoring system or other type of protective
system must be designed in accordance with
t 1926.652.
(A) When vertical loads imposed on cross
braces exceed a 100 Pound gravity load dis-
tributed on a one foot section of the center
of the hydraulic cylinder.
(B) When surcharge loads are present
from equipment weighing in excess of
20,000 pounds.
(C) When only the lower portion or a
trench is shored and the remaining portion
of the trench is sloped or benched unless:
The sloped portion is sloped at an angle less
steep than three horizontal to one vertical:
or the members are selected from the tables
for use at a depth which is determined from
the top of the overall trench, and not from
the toe of the sloped portion.
(e) Use of Tables D-1.1, D-1.2, D-1.3 and
D-1.4. The members of the shoring system
that are to be selected using this informa-
tion are the hydraulic cylinders, and either
the vertical shores or the horizontal wales.
When a waler system is used the vertical
timber sheeting to be used is also selected
from these tables. The Tables D-1.1 and D-
1.2 for vertical shores are used in Type A
and B soils that do not require sheeting.
Type B soils that may require sheeting, and
Type C soils that always require sheeting
are found in the horizontal wale Tables D-
1.3 and D-1.4. The soil type must first be de-
termined in accordance with the soil classifi-
cation system described in appendix A to
subpart P of part 1926. Using the appropri-
ate table, the selection of the size and spac-
ing of the members is made. The selection is
based on the depth and width of the trench
where the members are to be installed. In
these tables the vertical spacing is held con-
stant at four feet on center. The tables
show the maximum horizontal spacing of
cylinders allowed for each size of wale in
the waler system tables, and in the vertical
shore tables, the hydraulic cylinder horizon-
tal spacing is the same as the vertical shore
spacing.

Re: Water Shut Down and Boil Orders For Contractor Work Updated 13 March 2000
The Arkansas Department of Health has changed its boil order policy. This memo, and the attached
notices to customers, reflect the changes in that policy. These outline the updated procedures to be
followed any time a contractor must shut down water to any customers serviced by the Fayetteville water
system. Most of the changes are in the attachments and in the sampling procedures the Water/Sewer
Department must follow, there are no changes in the contractor's procedures.
This policy should go into effect immediately. You can easily tell if the form being used is the updated
form These all have the following line near the bottom of the notice:
If this line is not present, the notice is obsolete and should be discarded.
First, shutting down water to any customers for a planned job shall be avoided whenever possible. All
possible efforts must be made to keep water flowing to all customers. If the shut down involves
hospitals, health facilities, schools, food service establishments, day care centers, industries, chicken
houses, homes with special needs, and other water -critical facilities (as determined by the City),
temporary water service must be provided at the contractor's or developer's expense.
In the event that water must be shut off to a customer, each customer shall be notified no later than 72
hours (or three working days, whichever is longer), in advance with a form provided by the Water and
Sewer Maintenance Superintendent. A copy of this form is attached. The contractor is responsible to
hand out these advance notices to each customer who will be out of service after specific coordination
with the Water and Sewer Maintenance Department. Notices shall be distributed to the customers
only after it is completely filled out, including the address list, and submitted to and approved by
the Water/Sewer Department.
The City reserves the right to establish the day and time for the water shut -down. This may include, but
is not limited to, requiring that the shut -down take place at the time ofmirtimum usage for the customers,
and will frequently be late night and/or weekend work. Any costs incurred will be borne by the
contractor.
When possible, we would like to have the work performed no later in the week than Wednesday, so we
can have the boil order results back in the same week as the work is performed.

!Key�To GoodPruning
t. prune early in life of the tree so pruning wounds are small
and so Growth goes where you want it.
2. Begin your visual inspection at the top of the tree and work
downward.
3. Identify the beat leader and lateral branches (scaffold limbsi
before you begin pruning and remove defective parts before
pruning for form.
4. Don't worry about protecting pruning cuts. For aesthetics.
you may feel better painting larger wounds with a neutral -
color tree paint, but the evidence is that it does not prevent
or reduce decay.
5. Keep your tools sharp. One -hand pruning shear with
curved blades Isecateunl work best on young trees.
6. ,,take sates' a number one priority For high branches use a
pole pruner. Some. like the one pictured. have both a saw
and shears on the same tool. A major job on a big tree
should be done by a professional arborist.
When you prune back to the trunk or a larger limb.
branches too small to have formed a collar (swollen area at
base) should be cut close. (Notice in the dewing of the
pruning shear that the cutting blade is cutting upward for
less effort and a close cut.) Otherwise, follow the rules of
good pruning of larger limbs by tuning just outside the
branch edge and collar and at a slight down -and -outward
angle iso as not to injure the coUart Do not leave a
protruding stub.
When simply shortening a small branch. make the cut at a
lateral bud or another lateral branch (referred to as head"
or 'headback pruning"). Favor a bud that will produce a
branch that will grow in a desired direction lusually
outward). The cut should be sharp and clean and made at
a slight angle about V. inch beyond the bud.

Winter Pruning during domancy is the most common pracnta. it reauhs in a vigouroua bunt of
new growth in the spring and should be used if that is the desired effect. It is usually beat to wait until
the coldest put of winter has passed. Some species. such as triples, walnuts and birches. may -bleed"
when the sap begins to flow This is not harmhil-and will rmae when the tree leafs out.
Snrnmer To direct the growth by slowing the branches you don't want or to slow or'dwatf' the
development of a tree or branch. pruning should be done soon after seasonal growth is ratnplete. The
reason for the slowing effect is that you reduce the total leaf surface. thereby reducing the amount of
food manufactured and sent to the roots for their development and nest year's growth of the Gown_
Another reason to prune in the summer is for a. a..JQe purposes. Ddeetve Limbs can be seen
more easily, or limbs that hang down too far under the weight of leaves.
Fall Because decay fungi eprtad their spoor profusely in the fail and healing of wounds seems to b
slower on fall cuts, this is a good time to leave your pruning tools in storage.
Flowering Trees Uyour purpose for pruning is to enhance flowering 1. For trace or shrubs
that bloom in summer or fall on current years growth lea.. crape rayrtleL prune in winter
2. For tree that bloom in spring from buds on one -year -old wood (e.g.. dogwood and flowering fruit
trees). prune when their flowers fade.
Caution: In some arras of the counrnt diseases or insect occurrence may be affected by the time of
pruning Check with your county extension agent or airy forester, or an atfsori.at or nursery operator to
see if there are any local problems.

Attn: Neal Pendergraft

RE: Joyce Boulevard Waterline Extension
2638 - 2680 E. Joyce Boulevard
Side Letter
Dear Mr. Pendergraft:
As per discussions between Dr. Harvey Smith, Sid Norbash, Construction Engineer, Trevor
Bowman, Staff Engineer, and Jill Goddard, Land Agent, on Friday, September 28, 2001, the following is
a list of concerns expressed relating to the construction of the proposed water distribution line as it
'crosses the Paradise Valley Center property:
The parking lot concrete will be saw cut (at the seam when possible) and
Ire -poured to match the existing pavement. The area of broken concrete
just north of the east driveway will be saw cut and replaced.
Access will be available at all times during construction by closing only half
of the east driveway at a time. The west driveway is not to be closed.
No red dirt is to piled upon the parking lot. Any dirt removed from the
trench area is to be hauled away.
Contractor is to be aware of an existing sprinkler system present in the
' grassy area along the east property line and also within the grass median.
Within the grass median, orange tree protection will be placed around the
tree and bush; any roots will be clean cut to minimize damage; and
' contractor is to be aware of other utilities in that area.
That portion of the existing three -strand barbwire fence affected by this
construction shall be removed but not replaced. However, one end post
may be required to salvage the balance of the fence.
If you have any further concerns or comments, please contact Jill Goddard at 444-3407, Sid
' Norbash at 575-8205, or Trevor Bowman at 444-3429.
Sincerely yours,
Jim Beavers
