UNNOTICED DEFECTS Any defective Work or material that may be discovered by the Engineer during construction or before , the final acceptance of Work, or before final payment has been made, or during the guarantee period, shall be removed and replaced by Work and materialswhich shall conform to the provisions of the Contract Documents. Failure on the part of the Engineer to condemn or reject bad or inferior Work or materials shall not be construed to imply acceptance of such Work or materials. The Owner shall reserve and retain all of its rights and remedies at law against the Contractor and its surety for ' correction of any and all latent defects discovered after the guarantee period. 30. RIGHT TO RETAIN IMPERFECT WORK If any part or portion of the Work done or materialfurnished under this Contract shall prove defective ' and not in accordance with the Drawings and Specifications, and if the imperfection in the same shall not be of sufficient magnitude or importance as to make the Work dangerous or unsuitable, or if the removal of such Work will create conditions which are dangerous or undesirable, the Owner shall have the right and authority to retain such Work but shall make such deductions in the final payment therefore as may be just and reasonable. The Owner shall also have the option to require, at no added cost to the Owner, extended warranties, maintenance bonds, or other remedies to provide for repair or reconstruction of imperfect Work. 3!.

All stakes, marks, and other information shall be carefully preserved by the Contractor, and in case of their careless or unnecessary destruction or removal by him or his employees, such stakes, marks, and other information will be replaced at the Contractor's expense. Figured dimensions, when given in the Drawings, shall be accurately followed, even though they may differ from scaled measurements. No Work shown on the Drawings, the dimensions of which are not figured, shall be executed until instructions have been obtained from the Engineers as to the dimen- sions to be used. Large-scale and full-size drawings shall be followed in preference to small-scale drawings. The Engineer will provide the Contractor with bench marks to be used to establish grades FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-6 ' I and will also provide a baseline to be used to establish the proper lines. All Work done under this Contract shall be done to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall stake -out Work for this Contract and set the lines and grades necessary to complete the Work and shall keep the Engineer informed a reasonable time in advance of the times and places at which he wishes to do Work in order that the Engineer may review the lines and grades set by the Contractor and in order that ' the Engineer may make the necessary measurements for payment to the Contractor. The Contractor shall furnish without charge competent persons from his forcend such tools, stakes, surveying instruments, and other materials as the Engineer may require for reviewing the Contractor's stake -out of the Work and in making measurements for payment estimates or for surveys to establish temporary or permanent reference marks in connection with said Work. Any Work done without lines, grades, and levels being reviewed by the Engineer, or other representative of the Engineer, may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's cost and expense. The Contractor shall carefully preserve all monuments, bench marks, reference points, and stakes, and in case of willful or careless destruction of the same, he will be charged with the resulting expense of replacement and shall be responsible for any mistakes or loss of time that may be caused by their unnecessary loss or disturbance. In the event that the stakes and marks placed by the Engineer are destroyed through carelessness on the part of the Contractor, and that the destruction of these stakes and marks causes a delay in the Work, the Contractor shall have no claim for damages or extensions of time. I I I I H I I I I I In the case of any permanent monuments or bench marks which must of necessity be removed or disturbed in the construction of the Work, the Contractor shall carefully protect and preserve the same until they can be properly referenced and relocated. The Contractor shall also furnish at his own expense such materials and assistance as arc necessary for the proper replacement of monuments or bench marks that have been moved or destroyed. 32. SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTAL. PROCEDURE The Contractor shall submit a sufficient number of copies to allow the Engineer to retain four copies (2 for himself; 2 for the Owner) for review, such shop drawings, electrical diagrams, and catalog cuts for fabricated items and manufactured items (including mechanical and electrical equipment) required for construction, except as noted below. Should the Contractor fail to submit acceptable shop drawings on the second submittal, one copy will be returned to him and the cost of the Engineer's time to review subsequent submittals on the unacceptable item will be deducted from the Contractor's monthly payment invoice. Shop drawings shall be submitted in sufficient time to allow the Engineer not lesshan 20 regular working days per submittal for examining the shop drawings. These shop drawings shall be accurate, distinct, and complete and shall contain all required information, including satisfactory identification of items, units, and assemblies ioelation to the Contract Drawings and Specifications. Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, shop drawings shall be submitted only by the Contractor, who shall indicate by a signed stamp on the shop drawings, or other approved means, that he (the Contractor) has checked the shop drawings, and that the Work shown is in accordance with Contract requirements and has been checked for dimensions and relationship with Work of all other trades involved. The practice of submitting incomplete or uncheckedthop drawings for the Engineer to correct or finish will not be acceptable, and shop drawings which, in the opinion of the Engineer, clearly indicate that ' FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-7 I they have not been checked by the Contractor will be considered as not complying with the intent of the Contract Documents and will be returned to the Contractor for resubmission in the proper form. When the shop drawings have been reviewed by the Engineer, two (2) sets of submittals will be ' returned to the Contractor appropriately stamped.

It is agreed that no claim shall be made or allowed for any damages which may arise out of any delay caused by the above referenced acts or occurrences, other than claims for the appropriate extension of ' time. ' 17Y042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700 - 19 I I No extension of time will be granted to the Contractor for delays occurring to parts of the Work that have no measurable impact on the completion of the total Work under this Contract; nor will extension of time be granted fordelays to parts of Work that are not located on the critical path if the Critical Path Method (CPM) is used for scheduling the Work. No extension of time will be considered for weather conditions normal to the area in which the Work , is being performed. Unusual weather conditions, if determined by the Engineer to be of a severity that would stop all progress of the Work, may be considered as cause for an extension of Contract completion time. The Contractor shall provide official documentation of weather conditions experienced versus those anticipated as described above. Delays in delivery of equipment or material purchased by the Contractor or his subcontractors (including Owner -selected equipment) shall not be considered as a just cause for delay. The Contractor shall be fully responsible for the timely ordering, scheduling, expediting, delivery, and installation of all equipment and materials. Within a reasonable period after the Contractor submits to the Owner a written request for an extension of time, the Engineer will present his written opinion to the Owner as to whether an extension of time is justified, and, if so, his recommendation as to the number of days for time extension. The Owner will make the final decision on all requests for extension of time. In no event shall the Contractor be entitled under this Contract to collect or recover any damages, loss, or expense incurred by any delay other than as caused by the Owner, as stipulated in the Article titled, NOTICE OF CLAIM FOR DELAY. 65. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES The Work shall begin at the time stated in the Notice to Proceed issued by the Owner to the Contractor and shall be completed within the number of consecutive calendar days, or by the calendar date, stated in the accepted Bid and Contract. The time shall be computed from and including the date stated in the Notice to Proceed. It is agreed that time is of the essence of this Contract. The Contractor agrees that said Work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and uninterruptedly at such rate or progress as will insure full completion thereof within the time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner, that the time for the completion of the Work described herein is a reasonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic range and usual construction conditions prevailing in this locality. If the Contractor shall neglect, fail, or refuse to complete the Work within the time herein specified, or any proper extension thereof granted by the Owner, then the Contractor does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this Contract, a penalty put as liquidated damages for such breach of Contract, as hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that the Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the Contract for completing the Work. The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages which the Owner would in such event sustain, and said amount shall be retained from time to time by the Owner from current periodic pay estimates. 66. OTHER CONTRACTS The Owner reserves the right to award other Contracts in connection with the Work. The Contractor shall afford other Contractors reasonable opportunity for the introduction and storage of their materials and the execution of their Work and shall properly connect and coordinate his Work with theirs. I I I I I I I I I I I I I FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-20 1 If any part of the Work under this Contract depends on the prior acceptable completion of Work by others under separate Contract(s), the Contractor shall inspect and promptly report to the Engineer any defects in such Work that would adversely affect the satisfactory completion of the Work under this Contract. The Contractor's failure to so inspect and report shall constitute acceptance of the Work by ' others as being suitable for the proper reception and completion of the Work under this Contract, excluding, however, those defects in the Work by others that occur after the satisfactory completion of the Work specified hereunder. 67. USE OF PREMISES The Contractor shall confine his equipment, the storage of materials, and the operation of his workers Ito limits shown on the Drawings or indicated by law, ordinances, permits, or directions of the Engineer, and shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with his materials. The Contractor shall provide, at his own expense, the necessary rights -of -way and access to the Work which may be ' required outside the limits of the Owner's property. 68. SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE ' The Engineer may, at his sole discretion, issue a written notice of substantial completion for the purpose of establishing the starting date for specific equipment guarantees, and to establish the date that the Owner will assume the responsibility for the cost of operating such equipment. Said notice ' shall not be considered as final acceptance of any portion of the Work or relieve the Contractor from completing the remaining Work within the specified time and in full compliance with the Contract Documents. I 11 I Such substantial completion shall not relieve Contractor from liquidated damages should the Owner have added costs after the completion date, i.e., if additional construction observation, interest paid, loss of revenue, or other expenses continue to be charged to the Owner. Substantial completion of an operating facility shall be that degree of completion that will provide a minimum of 7 continuous work days of successful operation in which all performance and acceptance testing has been successfully demonstrated to the Engineer. All equipment contained in the Work, plus all other components necessary to enable the Owner tooperate the facility in the manner that was intended, shall be complete on the substantial completion date. See "SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION" under Article DEFINITIONS, of these General Conditions. ' 69. PERFORMANCE TESTING I I I I I Operating equipment and systems shall be performance tested in the presence of the Engineer to demonstrate compliance with the specified requirements. Performance testing shall be conducted under the specified design operating conditions or under such simulated operating conditions as recommended or approved by the Engineer. Schedule such testing with the Engineer at least I week in advance of the planned date for testing. 70. OWNER'S USE OF PORTIONS OF THE WORK The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and use any completed or partially completed portions of the Work. Such use shall not be considered as final acceptance of any portion of the Work, nor shall such use be considered as cause for an extension of the Contract completion time, unless authorized by a Change Order issued by the Owner. ' FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700 - 21 II 71. CUTTING AND PATCHING The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting, or patching of his Work that may be required to make its several parts come together properly and fit it to receive or be received by Work of other Contractors shown upon or reasonably implied by the Drawings. Any defective Work or material, performed or furnished by the Contractor, that may be discovered by the Engineer before the final acceptance of the Work or before final payment has been made, shall be removed and replaced or patched, in a manner as approved by the Engineer at the expense of the Contractor. 72. CLEANING UP I The Contractor shall, at all times, at his own expense, keep property on which Work is in progress and the adjacent property free from accumulations of waste material or rubbish caused by employees or by the Work. Upon completion of the construction, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, remove all temporary structures, rubbish, and waste materials resulting from his operations. PAYMENT I 73.

The Owner's request for quotations on alterations to the Work shall not be considered authorization to proceed with the Work prior to the issuance of a formal Change Order, nor shall such request justify any delay in existing Work. Lump sum quotations for alterations to the Work shall include substantiating documentation with an itemized breakdown of Contractor and subcontractor costs, including labor, material, rentals, approved services, overhead, and profit calculated as specified under "C" below. C. FORCE ACCOUNT WORK. If the method of payment cannot be agreed upon prior to the beginning of the Work, and the Owner or the Engineer directs that the Work be done by written Change Order or on a force account basis, then the Contractor shall furnish labor, equipment, and materials necessary to complete the Work in a satisfactory manner and within a reasonable period of time. For the Work performed, payment will be made for the documented actual cost of the following: FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-22 I I I) Labor, including foremen, who are directly assigned to the force account Work: (actual payroll cost, including wages, fringe benefits as established by negotiated labor ' agreements, labor insurance, and labor taxes as established by law).

PARTIAL PAYMENTS , A. GENERAL Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to affect the right, hereby reserved, to reject the whole or any part of the aforesaid Work, should such Work be later found not to comply with the provisions of the Contract Documents. All estimated quantities of Work for which partial payments have been made are subject to review and correction on the final estimate. Payment by the Owner and acceptance by the Contractor of partial payments based on periodic estimates of quantities of Work performed shall not, in any way, constitute acceptance of the estimated quantities used as the basis for computing the amounts of the partial payments. For public works projects, each partial payment request and final payment request shall contain an affidavit by the Contractor that all provisions of the applicable federal and state requirements regarding apprentices and payment of prevailing wages have been complied with by him and by , his Subcontractors. B. ESTIMATE AND PAYMENT Before the first working day of each calendar month, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer a detailed estimate of the amount earned for the separate portions of the Work, and request payment. As used in this Article, the words "amount earned" means the value, on the date of the estimate for partial payment, of the Work completed in accordance with the Contract Documents, and the value of approved materials delivered to the Project site suitably stored and protected prior to incorporation into the Work. If the Contractor's estimate of amount earned , conforms with the Engineer's evaluation, the Engineer will calculate the amount due the Contractor and make recommendation to the Owner for payment. An estimate of monthly progress payments shall be provided for the entire job prior to the first payment request. An update of the estimate of progress payments shall be updated if the actual progress differs by more than 20 percent in any given month. Each monthly payment request shall include the required updated Schedule. If the updated Schedule is not submitted, the Owner may withhold payment until this item is completed. The Contractor shall be paid within 30 days of approval of the payment request. C. DEDUCTION FROM ESTIMATE Unless modified in the Supplementary Conditions, deductions from the estimate will be as described below. The Owner will deduct from the estimate, and retain as part security, 10 percent of the amount earned for Work satisfactorily completed. However, no deduction or retainagewill be made on the approved items of material delivered to and properly stored at the job site but not incorporated into the Work. When the Work is 50 percent complete, the Owner may "freeze" the retainage at 5 percent of the dollar value of the total contract provided that the Contractor is making satisfactory progress and there is no specific cause for a greater retainage. The Owner may reinstate the retainage up to 10 percent of the dollar value of "Work complete FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-24 ' I keeping strict account of actual cost, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive the claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor, and the fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost as aforesaid, shall not in any way be construed as proving the validity of the claim. Claims for additional compensation shall he made in itemized detail and submitted, in writing, to the Owner and Engineer within 10 days following completion of that portion of the Work for which the Contractor bases his claim. In case the claim is found to be just, it shall be allowed and paid for as provided in the Article titled, PAYMENT FOR CHANGE ORDERS. 76. NOTICE OF CLAIM FOR DELAY If the Contractor intends to file a claim for additional compensation for delay caused by the Owner at a particular time, he shall file a notice of claim with the Owner within 7 days of the beginning of the occurrence. The notice of claim shall be in duplicate, in writing, and need not state the amount. No claim for additional compensation will be considered unless the provisions of Article 64, DELAYS AND EXTENSION OF TIME, arc complied with, and a notice of claim has been filed with the Owner in writing, as stated above. Should the Owner be prevented or enjoined from proceeding with Work, either before or after its prosecution, or from authorizing its prosecution by reason of any litigation, the Contractor shall not be entitled to make or assert claim for damage by reason of said delay; but time for completion of the Work will be extended to such reasonable time as the Owner may determine will compensate for time lost by such delay, with such determination to be set forth in writing. I [1 I I I H I 77. RELEASE OF LIENS OR CLAIMS I The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the Owner from all claims for labor and materials furnished under this Contract. Prior to the final payment, the Contractor shall furnish to the Owner, as part of his final payment request, an affidavit that all of the Contractor's obligations on the Project have been satisfied and that there are no unpaid taxes, liens, vendors' liens, rights to lien or any other type of claim against the Project, and that the hourly wages paid to all persons on the Project were in accordance with the applicable wage scale determinations. 78. FINAL PAYMENT Upon completion of all of the Work under this Contract, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, that he has completed his part of the Contract and shall request final inspection. Upon receipt of the Contractor's written notice that the Work is ready for final inspection, the Engineer shall make such inspection and shall submit to the Owner his recommendation as to acceptance of the completed Work and as to the final estimate of the amount due the Contractor under this Contract. Upon approval of this final estimate by the Owner and compliance with provisions in Article titled, RELEASE OF LIENS OR CLAIMS, and other provisions as may be applicable, the Owner shall pay to the Contractor all monies due him under the provisions of these Contract Documents. On contracts for public works, final payment of the retained percentage will not be made until the Contractor has also furnished the applicable apprenticeship wage certification. 79. NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS LI I H I I I I Neither the inspection of the Owner, through the Engineer or any of his employees, nor any order by the Owner for payment of money, nor any payment for, or acceptance of, the whole or any part of the Work by the Owner or Engineer, nor any extension of time, nor any possession taken by the Owner or its employees shat loperatc as a waiver of any provision of this Contract, or any power herein reserved H FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-26 ' I I I I CI I I I I I to date" if the Owner determines, athis discretion, that the Contractor is not making satisfactory progress or where there is other specific cause for such withholding. NOTE: Exception --If the Work includes water or sewer pipelines, the Contractor shall maintain the Work for a period of ninety (90) days following its acceptance by the OWNER. Up to five percent (5%) of the Contract amount shall be retained during this maintenance period. All prior payments shall be subject to correction in the final payment. This 90 -day period does not relieve the Contractor of the Performance and Payment Bond requirements regarding warranty of the Project. In such cases, the semi-final payment estimate shall indicate the initial acceptance of the Work, and the warranty shall begin on such date. D. QUALIFICATION FOR PARTIAL PAYMENT FOR MATERIALS DELIVERED Unless modified in the Supplementary Conditions, qualification for partial payment for materials delivered but not yet incorporated in to the Work shall be as described below. Materials, as used herein, shall be considered to be those items which are fabricated or manufactured material and equipment. To receive partial payment for materials delivered to the site, but not incorporated in the Work, it shall be necessary for the Contractor to include invoices of such materials and documentation warranting that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect Owner's interest therein; all of which must be satisfactory to Owner. At the time of the next partial payment request, the Contractor must submit the following documentation relative to materials paid on the previous partial paymentuaid invoices of such materials or other documentation warranting that the Owner has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests, and encumbrances (i.e., all materials have been paid for by Contractor). Failure to submit this documentation will result in an appropriate reduction on the current partial payment estimate for such materials. At his sole discretion, the Engineer may approve items for which partial payment is to be made. Proper storage and protection shall be provided by the Contractor, and as approved by the Engineer. Final payment shall be made only for materials actually incorporated in the Work and, upon acceptance of the Work, all materials remaining for which advance payments had been made shall revert to the Contractor, unless otherwise agreed, and partial payments made for these items shall be deducted from the final payment for the Work. E. PAYMENT ' After deducting the retainages and the amount of all previous partial payments made to the Contractor, the amount earned as of the current month will be made payable to the Contractor within 30 days of the Owner's receipt of an approved request, except where the Owner is a municipality or other agency whose laws require the approval of each payment by a council or ' similar body, in which case, the payment shall become due and payable 10 days after the first regularly -scheduled meeting in the month following the submittal of such payment request. 75. CLAIMS In any case where the Contractor deems additional compensation is due him for Work or materials not ' clearly covered in the Contract or not ordered by the Engineer according to provisions of Article 20 ALTERATIONS - CHANGES IN WORK, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer, in writing, of his intention to make claim for such compensation before he begins the Work on which he bases the claim, in order that such matters may be settled, if possible, or other appropriate action promptly taken. If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper facilities by the Contractor for IFY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water DOCUMENT 00700-25 I to the Owner, or any right to damages herein provided nor shall any waiver of any breach in this Contract be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. 80.

The Contractor acknowledges by submission of his Bid that he has satisfied himself as to the nature and location of the work, the general and local conditions, particularly those bearing upon availability of transportation, disposal, handling and storage of materials, availability of labor, water, electric power, roads, and uncertainties of weather, river stages, or similar physical conditions at the site, the conformation and conditions of the ground, the character of equipment and facilities ' needed preliminary to and during the prosecution of the work and all other matters which can in any way affect the work or the cost thereof under this Contract. ' B. The Contractor further acknowledges by submission of his Bid that he has satisfied himself as to the character, quality, and quantity of surface and subsurface materials to be encountered from inspecting the site. Any failure by the Contractor to acquaint himself with all the available information will not relieve him from responsibility for properly estimating the difficulty or cost of successfully performing the work. C. Prospective Bidders are invited, at their own expense, to make subsurface investigations, by boring or test hole excavation, as may be desirable, provided, however, that such work be scheduled by appointment with the Engineer. Bidders are not authorized to enter private property during these investigations. ' D. In the event subsurface or latent physical conditions are found materially different from those indicated in these Documents, and differing materially from those ' ordinarily encountered in the project area and generally recognized as inhering in the character of work covered in these Contract Documents, the Contractor shall promptly, and before such conditions are disturbed, notify the Engineer in writing of such changed conditions. E. The Engineer will investigate such conditions promptly and following this ' investigation, the Contractor shall proceed with the work, unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer. If the Engineer finds that such conditions do so materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost of, or in the time required for performing ' the work, the Engineer will recommend to the Owner the amount of adjustment in cost and time he considers reasonable. The Owner will make the final decision on all Change Orders to the Contract regarding any adjustment in cost or time for completion. 1.02 EXISTING UTILITIES IA.

D. During cold weather concreting the Contractor shall cast six extra test cylinders, for field curing, from the last 100 cubic yards of concrete but not fewer than three specimens shall be cast for each 2 hours of placing time or for each 100 yards, whichever produces greater number of specimens. These specimens shall be in addition to those cast by the Engineer for lab testing as specified hereinafter in Paragraph EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF CONCRETE. E. Test cylinders shall be protected from the weather until they can be placed under same protection provided for the parts of the structure which they represent. Test cylinders shall be tested in accordance with applicable sections of ASTM C 31 and C 39. Evaluation and acceptance as per ACI 318-77, Paragraph 4.8.3. F. The actual temperature of the concrete surface determines the effectiveness of 1 I I I I I C1 I FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water Section 03300-8 , I ' protection, regardless of air temperatures or whether the objective is durability or strength. Because corners and edges of concrete are most vulnerable to freezing and ' usually are more difficult to maintain at the required temperature, their temperatures should be monitored to evaluate and verify the protection provided. The Contractor shall provide a sufficient number of thermometers to be placed on the concrete ' surfaces spaced throughout the work to allow inspection and monitoring of concrete surface temperatures representative of all the work. G. Heating units should be vented and not be permitted to heat or dry the concrete ' locally. Fresh concrete exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) gas from polluted atmospheres or resulting from the use of salamanders or other heating devices which exhaust flue gases directly into an enclosed area may result in concrete carbonation, ' causing soft surfaces of varying depths depending on the concentration of carbon dioxide, the temperature at which the concrete was cured, and the relative humidity. Carbon monoxide, which can occur with partial combustion, and high levels of ' carbon dioxide are potential hazards to workmen. Moreover, strict fire prevention measures should be enforced. Concrete at any age can be damaged by fire, but at a very early age it may be additionally damaged by freezing until new protection can be provided. H. Maintain curing conditions which will foster normal strength development without excessive heat, and without critical saturation of the concrete at the close of the protection period. I. Limit rapid temperature changes, particularly before strength has developed ' sufficiently to withstand temperature stresses. Sudden chilling of concrete surfaces or exterior members in relation to interior structure can promote cracking to the detriment of strength and durability. At the end of the required period, protection ' should be discontinued in such a manner that the drop in temperature of any portion of the concrete will be gradual and will not exceed, in 24 hours, the amount shown in the table hereinbefore specified. J. Maintain the temperature of the concrete above 50 degrees for a minimum of 7 days. The Contractor shall submit his detailed plan for cold weather curing and protection ' of all concrete that is to be placed and/or cured in weather below 40 degrees F. Reference may be made to the recommendations of ACI 306 and ACI 318 for additional information. Conform to these Specifications and to any additional ' information in ACI 306 which will provide the temperature protection and curing for the 7 -day period. ' K. Additives for the sole purpose of providing "freeze protection" shall not be used. Additives to shorten the cure time may be used if approved; however, the concrete shall be placed and cured at all times at temperatures above freezing as hereinbefore ' specified. 3.19 BONDING TO NEW CONCRETE HORIZONTAL CONSTRUCTION JOINTS IA. Roughen the surface of the hardened concrete. Thoroughly clean and saturate with water, cover the horizontal surfaces only with at least 2 inches of grout, as hereinbefore specified, and immediately place concrete. New concrete is defined as less than 60 days old. Limit the concrete lift placed immediately on top of the grout to 12 inches thick and thoroughly vibrate to mix and consolidate the grout and ' FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water Section 03300-9 concrete together. Provide inspection windows to allow close visual inspection of this work. 3.20 BONDING TO OLD CONCRETE ' A. Coat the contact surfaces with bonding agent specified hereinbefore.

One set of test cylinders for each class of concrete placed each day shall be , taken not less than once a day, nor less than once for each 100 cubic yards of concrete, nor less than once for each 3,000 square feet of wall or slab surface area. Each set of test cylinders shall consist of one cylinder to be tested at 7 days, and two (2) cylinders to be tested at 28 days, and one spare cylinder for 28 day test if necessary. The Contractor may take any additional cylinders he feels necessary. 3. The frequency of testing maybe increased if necessary. Additional testing, if ' required, will be paid by the Owner. 4. Where the term "building official" is used in Section 4.7 of ACI 318-83, the ' term shall be redefined to "the Owner's representative". 3.22 DEFECTIVE AREAS ' A. Remove all defective concrete such as honey -combed areas and rock pockets out to sound concrete. Small shallow holes caused by air entrapment at the surface of the forms shall not be considered defects unless the amount is so great as to be considered not the standard of the industry and due primarily to poor workmanship. If chipping is required, the edges shall be perpendicular to the surface. Feather edges shall not be permitted. The defective area shall be filled with a nonshrink, nonmetallic grout. Use an approved bonding agent on horizontal patches prior to placing nonmetallic, nonshrink grout.

Any visible leakage shall be corrected at the Contractor's sole expense. 3.18 BURIED WATER AND WASTEWATER PRESSURE LINES I A. Some leakage is permissible from buried water and wastewater pressure lines. Consequently, the hydrostatic testing of these pipelines must be conducted in a different manner, as follows: Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete thrust blocking, do not make the pressure test until at least 5 days have elapsed after the thrust blocking is installed. If high -early cement is used for thrust blocking, the time may be reduced to 2 days. When testing cement -mortar lined piping, slowly fill the section of pipe to be tested with water and allow to stand for 24 hours under slight pressure to allow the cement -mortar lining to absorb water. 2. Expel all air from the piping system prior to testing and apply and maintain the specified test pressure by means of the hydraulic force pump. Valve off the piping system when the test pressure is reached FY042125 Fayetteville Hwy 62 Water Section 15001-6 ' I and conduct the pressure test for 2 hours, reopening the isolation valve only as necessary to restore the test pressure. The pump suction ' shall be in a barrel or similar device, or metered so that the amount of water required to maintain the test pressure may be measured accurately. This measurement represents the leakage, which is ' defined as the quantity of water necessary to maintain the specified test pressure for the duration of the test period. No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage is greater than the number of gallons per hour as determined by the following formula: ND(P) (1/2) L= 7400 1 In the above formula: IL = Allowable leakage, in gallons per hour N = Number ofjoints in the length of pipe tested D = Nominal diameter of pipe, in inches P = Average test pressure during the leakage test, in pounds per square inch 3. The Contractor shall correct any leakage greater than the allowance determined under this formula at the Contractor's sole expense. ' 3.19 INITIAL SERVICE LEAK TESTS - EQUIPMENT A. Equipment used for initial service leak testing may be the same as that specified under HYDROSTATIC LEAK TESTS hereinbefore, or the pump or compressor ' connected to the piping system. 3.20 SERVICE LEAK TESTS - PROCEDURE ' A. The initial service leak test shall be performed by gradually bringing the piping system up to normal operating pressure and holding it there continuously for a ' minimum time of 10 minutes. Examination for leakage shall be made at all joints and connections. The piping system, exclusive of possible localized instances at pump or valve packing, shall show no visual evidence of weeping or leaking. Any visible leakage shall be corrected at the Contractor's sole expense. 3.21 TEST RECORDS A. Records shall be made of each piping system installation during the test.

No drainage system shall be connected to a sewer. The bowl of each hydrant shall be braced against unexcavated earth at the end of the trench with concrete reaction backing. NO CASE SHALL THE CONCRETE BACKING BLOCK OR IMPEDE FLOW FROM TV FIRE HYDRANT DRAIN PORTS. Part C, Construction Methods I I I H 7. Blow -Off Construction: ' The location of the blow -offs shall generally be as detailed. The exact location as well as the orientation and length of the piping shall be determined in the field to ascertain that the vertical riser extends above natural grade. • 8. Clean -Up: These specifications shall apply in all cases unless the landowner involved indicates to the City a willingness to waive ' them. However, no waiver will relieve the contractor from the requirement to refill sunken ditchlines as necessary and to control erosion from the cut areas by seeding and mulching until grass is established. Also, no waiver will relieve the contractor from the requirement to leave the site neat and free from construction debris of all kinds. ' Any such waiver must be submitted in writing to the City and approved by the City Engineer. ' There are generally three classifications of cleanup for water' line construction: 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. The method of cleanup for each of the classes defined above shall be as set out below. ' a) Class I Cleanup - Lawns. Gardens, Etc. The trench shall be backfilled in accordance with these 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 weight): Part C, Construction Methods 9 I I Lawn Fescue 40% Blue Grass 30% Rye Grass (Annual) 30% During or after seeding is complete, all areas shall covered with 10-20-10 fertilizer at the rate of 250 pounds p 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 t 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 uniformly spread so as to provide a thickness of approximate 2 inches when first spread. Where the existing ground cover does not contain any of t grasses as set out in the seed mixture above (Bermuda gras Zoysia, etc.), the Contractor shall be responsible for cutting, removing stockpiling and saving the existing sod the job site. After constructing the. water line a backfilling the trench, the sod shall be replaced to condition equal to or better.than that prior to construction. In the event that insufficient sod has been stored, or sod ha' been lost or destr..oyed, the Contractor shall be responsibl for providing and installing new solid sod of the existing type to complete the cleanup. b) 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 th trench left slightly rounded, the area shall be machine rake to remove all rock to a condition equal to the existing surface on the better side of the adjacent existing right o way. All excess excavated material shall be removed from the site including excess material which has accumulated around fence posts, trees, mailboxes, etc. All areas which have bee disturbed, such as that caused by equipment tracks, shall be carefully backfilled and repaired as though it were a part o 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). I Field Fescue 40% Rye Grass (Annual) 40% White Clover (Common) 20% Part C, Construction Methods IH 10' I I 1 1 1 1 1 I After the area 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 about 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. c) Class III Cleanup - Steeps 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. d) 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. Part C, Construction Methods I If the trench should settle while the Contractor is still on the job or within two (2) years of the project complet' n date, the Contractor shall make the required repairs at o additional cost to the Owner in accordance with the continu g responsibility provisions of these Specifications. Failure f Contractor •to make necessary repairs during the one y r period will be cause for Owner to make or contract for s h repairs and invoice the Contractor for all costs. e) Restoration of Damaged Surfaces and Property. Where ly pavement, trees, shrubbery, fences, poles or other property and surface structures have been damaged, removed or distur d by the Contractor, whether deliberately or through failure o carry out the requirements of the contract documents, sta e laws, municipal ordinances, or through failure to employ usual and reasonable safeguards, such property and surfa structures shall be replaced or repaired at the expense of t Contractor. f) Access after Construction. Unless, otherwise directed, a areas shall be graded after construction so as to le accessible by four wheel drive vehicle. These clean-up specifications shall apply to on -site subdivision construction as well as off -site construction of wat lines. The fact that the installation of: other utilities and/ house building ectivitie:. may danagetsuch erosion control. measures shall not exempt thedeveloper from this requirement. 9. Pavement Repairs: All pavements which have been removed or damaged shall I repaired in accordance with these Specifications depending upon the type of pavement existing prior to construction. a. Asphaltic Pavement Repair. The existing pavement shall be saw -cut and removed to a point 18 inches beyond th trench line limits, and brought to.grade 9 inches bel the top of the existing pavement. Six inches of 3000 Ps concrete shall be placed and allowed to cure. This area shall then be resurfaced by applying asphaltic cement prime coat at the rate of 0.25 gallons/square yard followed by a minimum of 3 inches of hot -mixed, hot -laid asphaltic concrete, laid to an elevation matching th existing finished grade. The hot -mixed, hot -laid asphalt shall be compacted to 92 percent of theoretical density. I Part C, Construction Methods 1� I I I [] 11 C I C C I I J I I J I One nuclear densimeter test per asphaltic patch or repai shall be performed. The asphaltic pavement repair shal be deemed acceptable by the Engineer upon a passin• nuclear densimeter test at a location as directed by th• Engineer. The cost of determining the compacted densit shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Any unacceptable patch or repair shall be replaced and/o; recompacted and retested at the Contractor's expense. b. Concrete Pavement Repair. The existing pavement shalt be saw -cut and removed to a point 18 inches beyond thf trench line limits, and brought to grade 9 inches belov the top of the existing pavement. Concrete (4200 psi) shall be placed to match the existing surface. Joint sealer shall be placed in the area between the repairec surface and the original surface. c. Unpaved Driving Surface Repair. After the trench has been backfilled as set out elsewhere in these Specifications, the surface shall be brought to the existing grade with additional crushed stone base. Where special paving surfaces exist, such as natural gravel, washed gravel, exposed aggregate, or other such special materials, then the final surfaces shall be replaced in kind except where specifically noted otherwise. 10. Barricades. Guards and Safety Provisions: To protect persons from injury and to avoid property damage, adequate barricades, construction signs, warning lights and guards as required shall be placed and maintained during the progress of the construction work and until it is safe for traffic to use the highway. All material piles, equipment and pipe which may serve as obstructions to traffic shall be enclosed by fences or barricades and shall be protected by proper lights when the visibility is poor. Execution of all necessary safety precautions is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. 11. Maintenance of Traffic and Closing of Streets• The Contractor shall carry on the work in a manner which will cause the least interruption to traffic, and may close to through travel not more than two consecutive blocks, including the cross street intersected. Where traffic must cross open trenches, the Contractor shall provide suitable bridges at street intersections and driveways. Part C, Construction Methods 13 I I The Contractor, shall post suitable signs indicating that street is closed and necessar d t y e our signs for a pro r maintenance of traffic. Three (3) days written notice to e Mayor's office is required prior to the closing of any stre Also, it will be the contractor's responsibility to notify 1 emergency units (fire, police, EMS, etc.) prior to the closing r partial closing of a street.

ARKANSAS DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE To: Jim Beavers, City Engineer From: David Jurgen, Water/Sewer Date: 13 March, 2000 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 fbrm. These all have the following line near the bottom of the notice: I.etter updated 13 March 2000. Previous editions are obsnMe. 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 ofminimum 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. I I Steps of the process are as follows: I. Identify the potential need to shut down the water. 2. Coordinate with the Water/Sewer Department to identify exactly what addresses will be impacted and what valves must be operated. Jointly ensure that all of these valves are in proper working order. 3. Meet with the following to ensure all parties are involved and fully aware of the project and what is involved. This meeting will normally be held at the City Engineer's office at least 4 working days prior to the shut down. The following must attend: the designing engineer (or his representative), the contractor, the City's engineering inspector, and a representative of the Water/Sewer Department. The designing engineer or contractor must bring with them the list of addresses to be affected. They must also have detailed plans for the work to be performed and plans for any temporary water services to be provided. Coordination must be made with each critical water user prior to this meeting. Points of contact (names and telephone numbers) for each must be on the fist. I I I I 4. Deliver the notices to the Water/Sewer Department, with the address fist. Confirm that the information is approved. This must be done prior to distributing the notices to the customers. 5. Hand out notices to the customers three working days in advance. Each individual address that is notified must be written down, and a copy of the fist must be delivered to the Water and Sewer Department no later than two working hours prior the notices being distributed. This list should exactly match the fist identified in advance, per paragraph 3, above. If apartments or other multi -dwelling structures are involved, notice must be delivered to each individual residence. Legally, notices can not be put in mailboxes. 6. Confirm with both Engineering and Water/Sewer no later than 10:00 a.m. the day prior to the work being performed to confirm inspection and valve operation. [Engineer/Contractor]. 7. Perform the work. 8. Notify Water/Sewer when finished with job, so they can take water samples for the boil order 9. Issue boil order releases when sample results are returned. The Water/Sewer Department will issue the releases. In some cases, the Water/Sewer Department may require the contractor provide personnel to assist in handing out the notices. I have attached two separate notices which may have to be distributed. The first is for water pressure reduction, when no boil order will be required. The second is when a boil order will be required. The decision of which is required will be made in the meeting at Engineering (step 3). I I I I I I I Letter updated 13 March, 2000.

The ADH recommends that water being used for drinking and cooking be heated to a rolling boil for at least one minute. Ice cubes formed while this boil order is in effect should be discarded and only boiled water used for making ice. Water used for bathing should not be a problem, although small children should be supervised to ensure they do not ingest the water. In addition to or in lieu of boiling the water, you may want to use bottled water from a reputable source. This boil order will be in effect until the water has been tested and approved by the Arkansas Department of Health laboratory. The results should be known in 5 to 7 days. You will be notified via letter on your door as soon as the Water/Sewer Department receives this approval from the State Health Department. Again, this boil order is a precautionary requirement. The chances of contamination in your water are slight, but for your safety and to meet State regulations this precautionary boil order has been issued for your residence or business.

Structural ramp means a ramp built of steel or wood, usually used for vehicle access. Ramps made of soil or rock are not considered structural ramps. Support system means a structure such as underpinning, bracing, or shor- ing, which provides support to an adja- cent structure, underground installa- tion, or the sides of an excavation. 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 greater 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 con- structed in an excavation so as to re- duce the dimension measured from the forms or structure to the side of the ex- cavation to 15 feet (4.6 m) or less tE Li L 1, Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor (measured at the bottom of the e vation), the excavation is also con ered to be a trench. Trench box. See "Shield." Trench shield. See "Shield." Uprights means the vertical memb of a trench shoring system placed contact with the earth and usually sitioned so that individual members not contact each other. Uprig placed so that individual members closely spaced, in contact with interconnected to each other, are oft called "sheeting." Wales means horizontal members of shoring system placed parallel to t excavation face whose sides be against the vertical members of t shoring system or earth. § 1926.651 Specific excavation requirc (a) Surface encumbrances. All surfac encumbrances that are located so as t create a hazard to employees shall b removed or supported, as necessary, t safeguard employees. (b) Underground installations. (1) Th estimated location of utility installa- tions, such as sewer, telephone, fuel, electric, water lines, or any other un- derground installations that reason- ably may be expected to be encoun- tered during excavation work, shall be determined prior to opening an exca- vation. (2) Utility companies or owners shall be contacted within established or cus- tomary local response times, advised of the proposed work, and asked to estab- lish the location of the utility under- ground installations prior to the start of actual excavation. When utility companies or owners cannot respond to a request to locate underground utility installations within 24 hours (unless a longer period is required by state or local law), or cannot establish the exact location of these installations, the employer may proceed, provided the employer does so with caution, and provided detection equipment or other acceptable means to locate utility in- stallations are used. (3) When excavation operations ap- proach the estimated location of under- ground installations, the exact loca- tion of the installations shall be deter- mined by safe and acceptable means. The 371 § 1926.651 :ca- (4) While the excavation is open, un- sid- derground installations shall be pro- tected, supported or removed as nec- essary to safeguard employees.

APPENDIX A TO SUBPART P OF PART 1926 —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 designed 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 exca- vations is designed as a method of protection from cave-ins in accordance with appendix C 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-04 Edition) he to subpart P of part 1926. and when alu- minum hydraulic shoring is designed in ac- he cordance with appendix D. This Appendix also applies if other protective systems are designed and selected for use from data pre - m pared in accordance with the requirements he set forth in §1926.852(c), and the use of the data is predicated on the use of the soil clas- m- sification system set forth in this appendix. (b) Definitions. The definitions and exam- a- ples given below are based on. In whole or in y_ part, the following: American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standards D653-85 and D2488; The Unified Solis Classification m System, The U.S. Department of Agriculture g (USDA) Textural Classification Scheme; and The National Bureau of Standards Report B55-121. d Cemented soil means a soil in which the par - tides are held together by a chemical agent, such as calcium carbonate, such that a hand. a 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 soils 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 cohe- sive material will exhibit signs of cohesion between particles. Plastic means a property of a soil which al- lows the soil to be deformed or molded with- out 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. H Li Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt.

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 riot stay in clumps is granular. (iii) 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 exca- vation 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 exca- vation 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 exca- vation 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 quan- titative as well as qualitative properties of soil and to provide more information in order to classify soil properly. (1) Plasticity. Mold a moist or wet sample of soil into a ball and attempt to roll it into threads as thin as %-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 %-inch s thread can be held on one end without tear- t ing. the soil is cohesive. r (i1) Dry strength. If the soil is dry and v 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 anyc combination with gravel. sand or silt. If the b dry soil breaks into clumps which do not e break up into small clumps and which can c only be broken with difficulty, and there is a no visual indication the soil is fissured, the in soil may be considered unfissured. ac (Iii) Thumb penetration. The thumb penetra- in tion test can be used to estimate the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils. (This test is based on the thumb pene- ex tration test described in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard ti 378 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-04 Edition) designation D2488 —"Standard Recommended Practice for Description of Soils (Visual — 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 miminum the effects of exposure to drying influences. If the exca- vation is later exposed to wetting influences (rain, flooding), the classification of the soil must be changed accordingly. (iv) Other strength tests. Estimates of unconfined compressive strength of soils can also be obtained by use of a pocket pene- trometer or by using a hand -operated shearvane. (v) Drying test. The basic purpose of the drying test is to differentiate between cohe- sive material with fissures, unflssured cohe- sive material, and granular material. The procedure for the drying test involves drying a sample of soil that is approximately 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 sig- nificant cohesive material content. The soil can he classified as a unfissured cohesive ma- terial and the unconfined compressive 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 ample by hand or by stepping on them. If he clumps do not pulverize easily, the mate- Ial is cohesive with fissures. If they pul- erize easily into very small fragments, the material is granular. APPENDIX B TO SUBPART P OF PART 1926 —SLOPING AND BENCHING (a) Scope and application. This appendix ontains specifications for sloping and enching when used as methods of protecting mployees working in excavations from ave-ins. The requirements of this appendix pply when the design of sloping and bench - g protective systems is to be performed in cordance with the requirements set forth § 1926.652(b) (2). (b) Definitions, Actual slope means the slope to which an cavation face is excavated. Distress means that the soil is in a condi- on where a cave-in is Imminent or is likely I I I Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App. B to occur. Distress is evidenced by such phe- nomena as the development of fissures in the face of or adjacent to an open excavation; the subsidence of the edge of an excavation; the slumping of material from the face or the bulging or heaving of material from the bottom of an excavation; the spelling of ma- terial from the face of an excavation; and ravelling, i.e., small amounts of material such as pebbles or little clumps of material suddenly separating from the face of an exca- vation and trickling or rolling down into the excavation. Maximum allowable slope means the steep- est incline of an excavation face that is ac- ceptable 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 exca- vation Is open. (c) Requirements —(1) Soli classification. Soil and rock deposits shall be classified in ac- cordance with appendix A to subpart P of part 1926. (2) Maximum allowable slope. The maximum allowable slope for a soil or rock deposit 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. (i1) 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 ac- tual slope which is at least 4 horizontal to one vertical (7kH:1V) less steep than the maximum allowable slope. (iii) When surcharge loads from stored ma- terial or equipment, operating equipment, 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 evaluated in ac- cordance with § 1926.651(1). (4) Configurations. Configurations of slop- ing and benching systems shall be In accord- ance with Figure B-1.

This appendix contains Informa- tion that can be used timber shoring is pro- vided 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 protective systems is to be performed in accordance 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 slop- ing. benching. shielding. and freezing sys- tems must be designed in accordance with the requirements set forth in § 1926.652(b) and § 1926.652(c). 386 29 CFR Ch. XVII (7-1-04 Edition) (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 clas- sification method set forth In appendix A of subpart P of this part. (c) Presentation of Information. Information 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 Ta- bles C-2.1, C-2.2 and C-2.3 following para- graph (g) of the appendix. Each table pre- sents the minimum sizes of timber members to use In a shoring system, and each table contains data only for the particular soil type in which the excavation or portion of I H Occupational Safety and Health Admin., Labor Pt. 1926, Subpt. P, App. C the excavation is made. The data are ranged to allow the user the flexibility to lect from among several acceptable config rations of members based on varying t horizontal spacing of the crossbraces. Stab rock is exempt from shoring requiremen and therefore, no data are presented for th condition. (2) Information concerning the basis of th tabular data and the limitations of the dat is presented in paragraph (d) of this appen and on the tables themselves. (3) Information explaining the use of th tabular data is presented in paragraph (e) o this appendix. (4) Information illustrating the use of th tabular data 1s presented in paragraph (f) o this appendix. (5) Miscellaneous notations regarding Ta- bles C-1.1 through C-1.3 and Tables C-2.1 through C-2.3 are presented in paragraph (g) of this Appendix. (d) Basis and limitations of the data. —(1) Di- mensions of timber members. (1) The sizes of the timber members listed in Tables C-1.1 through C-1.3 are taken from the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) report, "Rec- ommended Technical Provisions for Con- struction Practice in Shoring and Sloping of Trenches and Excavations." In addition, where NBS did not recommend specific sizes of members, member sizes are based on an analysis of the sizes required for use by ex- isting codes and on empirical practice. (11) The required dimensions of the mem- bers listed in Tables C-1.1 through C-1.3 refer to actual dimensions and not nominal di- mensions of the timber. Employers wanting 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 referred to The Corps of Engineers, The Bureau of Reclamation or data from other acceptable s Stab. sources. (2) Limitation of application. (i) It is not in- tended that the timber shoring specification apply to every situation that may be experi- enced 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 situa- tions that are not covered by the data in this appendix must be designed as specified in §1926.652(c). (11) When any of the following conditions are present, the members specified in the ta- bles are not considered adequate. Either an alternate timber shoring system must be de- signed 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 "adjacent" as used here means the area within a horizontal distance from the edge of the trench equal to the depth of the trench. ar- (B) When vertical loads imposed on cross braces exceed a 240 -pound gravity load dis- u- tributed on a one -foot section of the center he of the crossbrace. (C) When surcharge loads are present from is equipment weighing in excess of 20,000 is pounds. (D) When only the lower portion of a e trench is shored and the remaining portion a of the trench is sloped or benched unless: n' The sloped portion is sloped at an angle less steep than three horizontal to one vertical; e or the members are selected from the tables f for use at a depth which is determined from the top of the overall trench, and not from e the toe of the sloped portion. f (e) Use of Tables. The members of the shor- ing 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 speci- fied 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 installed and. In most instances, the selection is also based on the horizontal spacing of the crossbraces. Instances where a choice of horizontal spac- ing of crossbracing is available, the hori- zontal spacing of the crossbraces 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 vertical spacing of the crossbraces. the size and vertical spacing of the wales, and the size and horizontal spac- ing of the uprights can be read from the ap- propriate table. (I) 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 -l.1, for acceptable arrange- ments of timber can be used. Arrangement #BI Space 4x4 crossbraces at six feet hori- zontally and four feet vertically. Wales are not required. Space 3x8 uprights at six feet horizontally. This arrangement is commonly called "skip shoring." Arrangement #B2 Space 4x6 crossbraces at eight feet hori- zontally and four feet vertically.

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 re- sist the lateral pressure of water and to pre- vent the loss of backfill material. Close Sheeting refers to the placement of planks side -by -side allowing as little space as pos- sible 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 he firmly embedded or a mudslll shall he used. Where uprights are embedded, the vertical distance from the center of the lowest crossbrace to the bot- tom of the trench shall not exceed 36 inches. When mudsills are used, the vertical dis- tance 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 vertical 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.

Hesse, published 3/17/99 in the Northwest Arkansas Times) "On most construction sites, existing trees are not protected and are vulnerable to the increased activity and use of equipment. Injury to the bark is very common when vehicles and equipment are present within the limits of the tree's canopy. But more commonly, the process of grading and trenching result in the greatest destruction to your trees. If you are considering terracing your yard, adding berms to create interest, or simply installing an underground irrigation system, be aware of the effects during construction. ' When grading a site the existing vegetation and topsoil is usually stripped removing valuable nutrients and moisture that the roots depend on. Adding fill during the grading process will almost always smother tree roots in the soil below. Trucking or bulldozing in extra soil results in incidental soil compaction. Vehicles, construction equipment, stored supplies, and even foot traffic all cause soil compaction which cuts off oxygen the tree needs to absorb nutrients and can lead to the death of a tree. ' Trenching to install utilities or irrigation lines involves digging from the surface down to a prescribed depth, usually 2 feet or more below the surface of the soil. Since the ' majority of tree roots are concentrated in the top 3 feet of soil, trenching within the root zone of the tree inevitably severs roots. The closer the pass to the trunk of the tree, the greater the percentage of roots effected. Remember, a tree only grows between 4 and Ii 1 major roots. The damage is further magnified by trenching equipment that rip and crush roots leaving large, traumatic wounds that are difficult to heal, and offer gapping points of entry for insects and disease. A combination of mistakes during construction can compound the stress to the tree. Assume that a couple of major roots are destroyed during trenching and a portion of absorption roots are crushed when a vehicle is allowed to pass within the dripline of the tree. The tree has the same amount of crown to feed with possibly 25% less roots needed to absorb moisture and nutrients. As a result, a portion of the crown declines which means less photosynthesis can occur further weakening the tree. With most construction activity being a detriment to existing vegetation, it is best to stay away from the existing trees or shrubs you plan to preserve. Erect fencing material around areas that you want to protect. As a general rule, it is important to stay outside of the limits of a tree's canopy. This means keeping foot traffic, truck traffic, and even ' the storage of supplies away from the protected area. Be sure to communicate to everyone involved in the construction process the importance of staying clear of the ' fenced areas. If you are serious about saving certain trees, you may reconsider the design of your improvements, so plan for this in advance. ' 100 I City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Many people consider removing the existing trees with the intent to replace them once construction is complete. Tree replacement, however, is no substitute for preserving mature, established trees that are providing shade, wildlife habitat, clean air and general human enjoyment. A tree planted within the urban setting has an average life expectancy of 10 to 35 years due partly to the polluted environment. A young tree planted today must face a long hard road before it will match the splendor of the mature tree it is replacing. Saving trees during construction may cost additional money, time and some aggravation but the value of a mature established tree will far outweigh that cost." Tree preservation is difficult to do during the construction process and the contractor must be aware of which trees are to be preserved during the bidding process. Clarity on what trees and areas are to be undisturbed are critical in preserving valuable site characteristics. Provided is a list of commonly encountered trees that are especially sensitive to construction disturbance: Paper Birch Flowering Dogwood Magnolia species Betula papyrifera Cornus Florida Magnolia ssp. Redbud Beech species Crabapple Cercis canadensis Fagus spp. Ma/us ssp. Fringetree Carolina Silverbell American Hop -hornbeam Chionanthus virginicus Halesia carolina Ostrya virginiana Mockernut Hickory Witch -hazel Sourwood Carya tomentosa Hamamelis virginiana Oxydendrum arboreum Shagbark Hickory Black Walnut Spruce species Carya ovate Juglans nigra Picea ssp.

Awareness of what trees are going to be preserved and their preconstruction condition will give the caretaker better knowledge of how to protect the tree during construction and what measures to take after construction. For that reason a pre construction survey is needed; a tree survey will provide the basis for after construction treatment. A predevelopment survey will also identify any undesirable trees that can be removed and locate any rare or important trees that need extra care. The more detailed the initial analysis, the better a person can manage the actions that need to be taken before, during, and after construction. One of the best ways to manage existing trees in construction is communication with the contractor. Just telling the contractor which trees need to be saved is only the beginning. The developer or owner needs to communicate why certain construction practices are detrimental and periodically monitor progress to insure existing trees are not damaged. There are several practices that can be done to a tree to prepare it for the stress related to construction. Construction of a tree protection fence (See full page detail on pg. 107) The single most important element in protecting trees. The fence should extend at least to the edge of the drip line, farther if possible Plan view I. Spreading of mulch or gravel A 12" layer of mulch or a 6" layer of gravel can reduce compaction up to 4" in depth. A temporary bridge can be implemented to further reduce ' compaction (See full page detail on pg. 109) Reduce mulch to 4" after construction complete ' 102 IJ I City of Fayetteville Landscape Manual Pruning The removal of limbs that could be an obstruction to equipment should be removed. For safety and to prevent further damage to the tree, any dead limbs should also be removed. Irrigation Probably the most important preventive measure is irrigation. Previously water stressed trees have a poorer chance of survival than a well - watered, healthy tree. Irrigation should be carried out in normal fashion, wetting entire root zone to a depth of 2' to 3'. On sites that generate excessive dust due to construction, the leaves of the trees must be sprayed with water to prevent dust from clogging pores of the leaves. Fertilization Supplemental nutrients can be applied to trees that exhibit weak, scraggly crowns and overall poor performance. The only time fertilization is beneficial is the season before construction is scheduled to begin. Construction of a fill/ aeration system (See full page detail on pg.108) This system allows for gas exchange between roots and the atmosphere, otherwise not possible when soil is compacted and/or paving is applied.

Erosion and sedimentation control barriers shall be installed or maintained in a manner which does not result in soil build-up within tree driplines 5 Protective fences shall surround the trees or group of trees, and will be located at the dripline, for natural areas, protective fences shall follow the limit of construction line, in order to prevent the following: A, Sod compaction in the root zone area resulting from vehicular traffic or storage of equipment B Rool zone disturbances due to grade changes (greater than 6') or trenching not reviewed by city arboiist C. wounds to exposed roots, trunk or limbs by mechanical equipment D. other activities detrimental to trees such as chemical storage. cement truck cleaning, & fires 6. Exceptions to installing fences at tree driplines may be permitted in the follovnng cases: A Where there is to be an approved grade charge, impermeable paving surface, tree well, or other such site development B. Where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree's dripline, erect the fence at the outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is graded separately prior to paving installation to minimize root damage) C. Where trees are close to proposed buildings. erect the fence to allow 6 to 10 feet of work space between the fence and the building D. Where there are severe space constraints due to tract site, or other special requirements 7. Where any of the above exceptions result In a fence being closer than 4 feet to a tree trunk, protect the bunk with strapped on planking to a height of 8 feet ( or limits of lower branching) in addition to the reduced fencing provided B. Trees approved for removal shall be removed in a manner which does not impact trees to be preserved 9. Any roots exposed by construction activity shall be pruned flush with the sal, Backfifl roof areas with good quality top soil as soon as possible If exposed root areas are not backfilled within 2 days, cover them with organic material in a manner which reduces soil temperature and minimizes water lass due to evaporation 10.

If possible, collect the preconstruction survey about the health and ' existing physical conditions of the preserved trees; the preconstruction survey will help in determining the impacts of construction and what treatments should be done. If no previous analysis is available, a survey of the changed site conditions, condition of trees, and the possible long term results would be beneficial. There are a few key ' characteristics of trees and their surroundings that need to be taken into consideration: the tree's structural stability, health, and affected soil conditions. Typical signs of tree injury from construction • Branch dieback • Wounds from equipment I. Attack from borers and other pests • Small leaves • Leaf scorch I. Leaf wilt • Early fall defoliation and coloration • Heavy seeding Once the problem that is causing unwanted stress on preserved trees is identified, maintenance can be executed. Sadly there is little a homeowner, or even an arborist, can do once major damage has been inflicted. Common practices to reduce construction stress are as follows: • Irrigation I. Pruning • Mulching • Fill soil removal ' Pest management • Fertilization • Tree removal ' The most common problem in construction impact is soil compaction. This subject deserves further explanation because of the variety in methods used to reverse ' compaction's negative effects on trees. Soil that is compacted prevents aeration, permeability, and nutrient absorption. Several processes are highlighted in better detail ' in Trees and Development by Matheny and Clark. Most of the processes to help trees should be carried out by a licensed arborist, not by the contractor. See the appendix on contacts to locate a qualified person.

Instead of straight paths for utility lines that devastate tree root systems, curved paths can be implemented to avoid root and utility conflicts. The example shows evidence of tree preservation in the design of the structures, but no planning was considered when routing the utility lines. I I [1 I I I [1 I I I I I When other obstacles prevent the maneuvering of utilities around trees, boring equipment can allow utility lines to pass under the critical areas of a tree's root system. A tree's ability to absorb vital nutrients and water are strictly dependant on its root system; the cutting of any major roots applies stress that can often lead to death. It is imperative that to preserve on site trees careful attention must be exercised where disturbance is going to occur.

(2) Project Contingency in the amount of $140,000 (approximately 12%). (3) Related Budget Adjustment in the amount of $678,585. Background: Highway 62 is scheduled for improvements and widening in Farmington from Hwy 170 intersection and proceed along Hwy 62 west for approximately one mile (please see attached map). Fayetteville owns the water distribution system in Farmington and is responsible for the relocation of water mains in conflict with the planned highway construction. In 2004 McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. was selected and awarded a contract to perform the engineering services for this project. The design was recently completed and the project was advertised for bid on June 2, 2005. 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 479-575-8330 479-575-8257 (Fax) Discussion: • Official bids were received and opened on June 16, 2005, and the results are as follows: E. Massey Construction, Inc. Disqualified (Bid was not signed) Goodwin & Goodwin $1,193,296.00 C-2 Projects, LLC $1,180,177.45 Engineer's Estimate $1,206,669.00 McClelland Consulting Engineers, Inc. has submitted bid tabulation results, which are attached. Budget Impact: 2005 Budget $1,019,616 Obligated or expensed to date $ 378,024 Remaining Funds $ 641,592 Funds needed at this time $1,320,177 Shortage / needed Budget Adjustment $ 678,585 The reason for the estimated cost over -run is that the original estimate did not include the additional improvements which involve four water line looping areas to provide much better service to the customers. Staff recommended to include these additional improvements to this contract in order to obtain better prices. In summary following are the main reasons for the over -run: Addition of 4 Interconnections to this project Increase in land values for easements The original estimate was made in 2003 / price increases SN/sn Attachments: Contract Budget Adjustment Vicinity Map Bid Tabulations 113 WEST MOUNTAIN 72701 479-575-8330 479-575-8257 (Fax) $280,000 $ 90,000 $300,000 RESOLUTION NO.
