is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the
WORK.but delivered and suitably stored at •or near the site, the partial pay-
went estimate shall also be accompanied by such supporting data, satisfactory
to the OWNER, as will establish the OWNER'S title to the material and
equipment and protect the OWNER'S interest therein, including applicable
insurance. The ENGINEER will, within ten (10) days after receipt of each
partial payment estimate, either indicate in writing approval of payment, and
present the partial payment estimate to the OWNER, or return the partial payment
estimate to the CONTRACTOR indicating in writing the reasons fir refusing to
approve payment. In the latter case, the CONTRACTOR may make the necessary
corrections and resubmit the partial payment estimate. The OWNER will, within

event shall the total retainine be more than 10% of the value of the work
completed. Upon substantial completion of the work, any amount retained may
be paid to the CONTRACTOR. When the WORK has been substantially completed
.except for WORK which cannot be completed because of weather conditions, lack
of materials or other reasons which in the judgement of the OWNER are valid reasons
for noncompletion, the OWNER may make additional payments, retaining at all times
an amount sufficient 'to cover the estimated cost of the WORK still to be completed.
19.7 The request for payment may also include an allowance for the cost_ of
such major materials and equipment which are suitably stored either at or
near the site.
19.3 Prior to SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION, the OWNER, with the alproval of the
. ENGINEER and with the concurrence of the CONTRACTOR, may use any completed or
substantially completed portions of the WORK. Such use shall not constitute

certificate attached to the final payment request that the WORK has been

4. Where the bottom of the trench at grade is found to be unstable or include ashes,
cinders, all types of refuse, vegetative or other organic material, the Contractor
shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the width and depth or-
dered by the Engineer. The trench shall be backfilled to bedding grade with
-_ approved material in 4" layers of loose depth. Each layer shall be thoroughly
compacted in accordance with these Specification and the bedding shall be fin-
ished by means of hand tools so as to provide a uniform continuous bearing and
support for the pipe. There will be no additional compensation for such excava-
tion of backfill unless the required excavation or replacement exceeds 1' of depth
at which time said work shall be paid for in accordance with unit price as bid. If
no unit price is bid no additional compensation shall be made.
5. Where the bottom of the trench is found to consist of material which is unstable to
such a degree that in the opinion of the Engineer it cannot be removed and re-
placed with material suitable to support the pipe properly, the Contractor shall
construct a foundation for the pipe consisting of concrete, piling, timber and other
suitable material as directed by the Engineer. Special foundations if called for on

laying of the line and the exposed end of all pipes shall be fully protected with a water
tight stopper to prevent water, earth or other substances from entering the pipe during
periods when work is not in progress.
3.15 PIPE LAYING:
A. Proper implement tools and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer and all interested
regulatory authorities shall be provided and used for the safe and convenient prosecu-
tion of the Work. All pipe, fittings, valves and specials shall be carefully lowered into
the trench piece by piece by means of a derrick, ropes or other suitable tools or equip-
ment in such a manner as to prevent damage to the materials. Under no circumstances
shall sewer line materials be dropped or dumped into the trench.
B. All pipe and fittings shall be carefully examined for defects and no piece shall be laid
which is known to be defective. Any defects, damages or unsound pipe shall be reject-
ed. If any defective piece shall be discovered after having been laid it shall be removed
and replaced with sound ones at the Contractor's expense. All pipes and fittings shall
be thoroughly cleaned before they are laid and shall be kept clean until accepted in the
completed work.
C. The pipe shall be supported its full length by the uniform grade of the trench and a bell
hole shall be dug at each joint. Said hole being of sufficient size to insure proper
"making up" of each joint. Pipe ends shall not be left open such as at the end of a days
work or during temporary suspension of construction, including lunch break but shall
be securely covered to prevent the entry of matter or small animals.
D. When cutting short lengths of pipe, a pipe cutter shall be used and care will be taken to
make the cut at right angles to the center line of the pipe. All such cuts shall be
"dressed up" in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

oughly consolidated prior to placement of the pipe.
F. When making up joints the spigot end of each pipe shall be entered into the adjoining
bell to within 1/8" of the total depth of the bell., The pipe shall be properly centered
and have uniform space all around.
G. The surface of the spigot and bell are to be cleaned thoroughly just prior to assembly.
The spigot end is to be lubricated thoroughly just prior to entering into the bell with a
lubricant recommended by the manufacturer.
H. After laying, all pipe shall show a FULL circle of light when lamped between manholes
or inlets.

therein unless other protection of the pipeline is directed. The backfilling material shall
be selected and deposited with special reference to the future safety of the pipe. Back-
fill material shall be free from cinders, ashes, refuse, vegetative or other organic mate-
rial, boulders, large rocks or stones.
B. From three feet above the top of the pipe to the original ground or to sub-grade, mate-
rial containing stones up to 4" in their greatest dimension will be permitted unless
otherwise directed by the Engineer.
C. The backfill material shall be deposited in the trench for its full width by hand in 4"
layers loose depth above the center line of the pipe. This shall be thoroughly tamped
before additional material is added. Additional layers shall be added to bring the mate-
rial above the pipe in 4" loose layers and tamped except where special methods of
bedding and tamping are provided. Clean earth, sand or rock dust shall be solidly
tamped and compacted as herein described.

Green Mountain Park * Sewer Extension * Phase H PVC Sewer Pipe
Lenoir, North Carolina
Engineer: Rothrock Engineering Section 15064 - Page 11
D. Backfilling shall not be done in freezing-weather except by the permission of the Engi-
neer and it shall not be done with any frozen material. No backfilling shall be done
where the material already in the trench is frozen.
E. From the bottom of the trench to the center line of the pipe the backfill material shall be.'
placed by hand and compacted by approved hand tamps to consolidate the 78M stone.
From the center line of the pipe to a height of one foot above the pipe the backfill shall
be placed by hand in 4" uncompacted layers and compacted by use of approved me-
chanical tamps. The Contractor shall use special care in placing,this portion of the
backfill so as to avoid injuring or moving the pipe. The remainder of the backfill in the
trench shall be placed by hand or mechanical means and compacted by approved
mechanical tamps. However, the maximum loose lift shall be restricted to 8" prior to
tamping.
F. Walking or working on the completed pipe except as may be necessary in tamping or
backfilling shall not be permitted until the trench has been filled to a height of at least
18" over the top of the pipe.
G. After placing the backfill up to a level slightly below the natural ground surface, sur-
plus excavation may be windrowed and maintained in a suitable manner to concentrate
and pond surface runoff from rains over the trench. After sufficient settlement has
been obtained, in the opinion of the Engineer, the Contractor shall complete the dress-
ing, removal of surplus materials, and surface clean up in accordance with the specifi-
cations.
H. Whenever the trenches have not been properly filled or if settlement should occur, they
shall be refilled, smoothed off, and finally made to conform to the surface of the sur-
rounding ground. Backfilling shall be carefully performed and the original surface
restored to the full satisfaction and approval of the Engineer.
I. Backfill in open trenches across sidewalks, in streets, roadways and/or driveways shall
be made.as specified except that fill above pipes shall be compacted to a compaction
density of 95% Standard Proctor.
J. Excess material not needed for backfill and material unsuitable for backfill shall be
removed from the site and disposed of at the expense and at the discretion of the Con-
tractor. Additional backfill material as required to make up deficiency or to replace
unsuitable excavated material shall be furnished by the Contractor, at no additional
cost, from approved borrow pits or from other excavations as the Contractor might
supply.
K. The Contractor shall maintain the surface of the trench to the original ground surface
until accepted by the Engineer. The job site shall be left in a neat and orderly condition
to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
3.18 COMPACTION TESTING:
The Contractor shall include in his bid the cost of soil density test by a suitable laboratory
approved in advance by the Engineer. Test shall be conducted on an average of 1 per
each 500 L.F. of pipe. All tests shall be at points as directed by the Engineer. For

Green Mountain Park * Sewer Extension *Phase H PVC Sewer Pipe
Lenoir, North Carolina
Engineer: Rothrock Engineering Section 15064 - Page 12
each test which fails compaction requirements, two additional tests shall be required.
Where any trench tested does no meet the requirements of compaction, said material
shall be removed and replaced at no additional cost to the Owner. After replacement,
retesting will be required.
The Engineer may direct additional tests be made and the cost paid by the Owner unless the
results of said test shall show noncompliance in which case the cost of the original test
and all required retests shall be borne by the Contractor.
3.19 All underground piping shall be guaranteed for a period of 1 year against breakage,
leakage or any other defect. Any break or leak shall be judged an emergency and treat-
ed as such. Repairs shall be made by*the Contractor at no expense to the Owner, or by
mutual agreement between the Owner and the Contractor repairs may be made by the
Owner with billing to the Contractor. If Owner elects this alternative all invoices shall
be paid within 10 days of receipt. Any invoices not so paid shall begin earning interest
at the maximum rate permitted by law from. the date of the invoice to the date of
payment. Work by the Owner during any emergency shall in no way relieve the Con-
tractor of any responsibility past, present, or future. The performance bond shall
remain in effect for 1 year following date of final acceptance letter from the Engineer.
3.20 All PVC pipe shall be installed in accordance with ASTM D-2321, latest revision.
3.21 Because of the nature of this work, there may be interference from existing sub-surface
structures such as water mains, water service connections, storm sewer, telephone,
electric service, etc. Much of this existing sub-surface interference will be apparent
from the surface, however, much of it will not. The Contractor assumes responsibility
for repair of all damage to such existing services of every kind whether shown on the
plans or not. Should redesign by required, it will be paid for on the unit price bid.
Except where redesign is required no additional cost as a result of such existing utilities
shall be borne by the Owner.
3.22 No excavation shall be permitted when the ambient air temperature as below 280 F. It
must be above 28' F and rising provided that the ground is not already frozen. At no
time will work be permitted when the ground is frozen regardless of the ambient air
temperature. In order to obtain compaction densities required, no frozen or excessively
wet material will be permitted as backfill. The Contractor shall take the necessary
precautions during inclement weather to insure that backfill material does not become
too wet to permit compaction to the required levels.

as is practical.
3.05 POTABLE WATER PROTECTION:
A. Adequate provisions shall be made for the protection of potable water supplies from
possible leakage from sewers located near water lines. To accomplish this purpose the
following design features are required. Conditions may be encountered necessitating
other special design. Such design may be approved upon submission of a description of
the specific problems and of acceptable evidence that the proposed construction will
provide adequate protection to the Engineer. The decision of the Engineer shall be
final. THERE SHALL BE NO PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND ANY SEWER SYSTEM.
B. Where possible, water mains shall be laid at least 10' horizontally from existing or
. proposed sewers. If local conditions prevent a lateral separation of 10' or more the
water main may be laid nearer to the sewer provided that it is laid in a separate trench
with the elevation of the bottom of the water line at least 18" above the top of the
sewer.
C. Whenever it is necessary for a water main to cross a sewer line the water main shall be
laid at such an elevation that the bottom of the water main is at least 18" above the top
of the sewer. If local conditions prevent an 18" vertical separation, both the water
main and the sewer main shall be constructed of material and with joints that are equiv-
alent to water main standards for a distance of 10' on each side of the crossing. Both
the water main and the sewer line shall be pressure tested per water main conditions to
assure complete water tightness prior to backfilling.
D. Whenever it is necessary for a water main to cross under a sewer both water main and
sewer shall be constructed of materials and with joints equivalent to water main stand-
ards for a distance of 10' on each side of the crossing. A section of the water main
pipe shall be centered at the crossing. Both the water main and the sewer shall be
pressure tested to assure water tightness prior to backfilling.

B. Trenching:
1. Width of trench:
Width shall be such as to provide adequate space for workmen to place and join
the pipe properly. The bottom of the trench for the water line shall be rounded so
that the pipe rests firmly on a bed of 6" compacted sand or No. 78m stone. Bell
holes shall be excavated accurately to size by hand.
2. Depth of trench:
The flow profile as shown on the plans shall be followed except for changes
authorized in writing by the Engineer to avoid existing structures or to better suit
topography. The depth of trench shall be increased .where necessary to procure a
smooth curved profile or to avoid existing structures. The trench shall be exca-
vated in such a manner as to provide uniform and continuous bearing and support
for the pipe and shall be excavated to the depth required to give a minimum of
36" cover over the force main from the finished grade to the top outside of the
pipe barrel. Bell holes shall be provided at each joint to permit the joints to be
"made up" properly.
3. Excavating of the trench may be done either by hand or by the use of suitable
trenching equipment. Where the bottom of the trench at grade is found to be
unstable or include ashes, cinders, all types of refuse, vegetative or other organic
material the Contractor shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the
width and depth ordered by the Engineer. The trench shall be backfilled to
bedding grade with approved material in 6" layers of loose depth. Each layer
shall be thoroughly compacted in accordance with the Specifications and the
bedding shall be finished by means of hand tools so as to provide a uniform
continuous bearing and support for the pipe.
There will be no additional compensation for such excavation of backfill unless
the required excavation or replacement exceeds 1' in depth at which time said
work shall be paid for in accordance with unit price as bid. If no unit price is
bid, no additional compensation shall be made.
4. Where the bottom of the trench or a grade is found to consist of material which is
unstable to such a degree that in the opinion of the Engineer it cannot be removed
and replaced with material suitable to support the pipe properly the Contractor
shall construct a foundation for the pipe consisting of concrete, pilings, timber or
other suitable material or as directed by the Engineer. Special foundations if not
called for on the plans shall be paid for in accordance with bid proposal.
C. Bracing and shoring:
The Contractor shall do all bracing, sheathing and shoring necessary to perform and
protect all excavations as indicated on the plans, as required for safety, as directed by
the Engineer, or to conform to governing laws or other acceptable safety standards.

be selected and deposited with special reference to the future safety of the pipe. Back-
fill material shall be free from cinders, ashes, refuse, vegetative or other organic mate-
rial, boulders, large rocks or stones. No stone larger than 3" in largest direction may
be used within first 6" over the pipe and no stone greater than 6" in largest direction
may be used in the balance of the backfill.
B. The backfill material shall be deposited in the trench for its full width by hand in 4"
layers, loose depth, to the center line of the pipe. This shall be thoroughly tamped
before additional materials are added. Additional layers shall be added to bring the
material above the pipe in maximum 6" loose layers and tamped except where special
methods of bedding and tamping are provided. Clean earth, sand or rock dust shall be
solidly tamped and compacted as herein described.
C. Backfilling shall not be done in freezing weather except by the permission of the Engi-
neer and it shall not be done with any frozen material. No backfilling shall be done
where the material already in the trench is frozen.
D. From the bottom of the trench to 1 foot above the pipe, the backfill material shall be
placed by hand and compacted by the approved hand tamps to a compaction density of
95% modified Proctor. The Contractor shall use special care in placing this portion of
the backfill so as to avoid injuring or moving the pipe. The remainder of the backfill in

and the manufacturer's recommendations using methods that will prevent damage
to the components and their joint surfaces.
B. Discrepancies:
1. In the event of discrepancies, immediately notify the Engineer.
2. Do not proceed with installation in areas of discrepancy until all such discrepan-
cies have been fully resolved.
3.02 INSTALLATION:
A. Install all material as indicated on the plans.
B. Excavate to the required depth and remove materials that are unstable or unsuitable for
a good foundation. Prepare a level, compacted foundation extending not less than 6"
beyond the manhole base.
C. Set base plumb and level, aligning manhole invert with the pipe invert.
D. Thoroughly clean bells and spigots to remove dirt and other foreign material that may
prevent sealing. Unroll the Butyl Sealant rope directly against base of spigot. Leave
protective wrapper attached until sealant is entirely unrolled against spigot. Do not
stretch. Overlap from side to side - not top to bottom.
E. Set risers and cones so that steps align, taking particular care to clean, prepare and seal
joints.
F. After joining manhole sections, apply the butyl sealant sheet around the outside perime-
ter of the joint.
G. Lift holes having less than 2" of wall thickness shall be plugged from the outside using
a sand cement mortar. Lift Holes penetrating the wall shall be additionally sealed with
an interior application of an epoxy gel 1/8" thick and extending 2" beyond the penetra-
tion.
H. Perform the final finishing to the manhole interior by filling all chips or fractures great-
er than 1/2" in length, width or depth and depressions of more than 1/8" deep in inverts
with a sand cement mortar. DO NOT fill the joints between the precast concrete sec-
tions. Clean the interior of the manhole, removing all dirt, spills or other foreign
matter.
I. The rubber sleeve shall be securely clamped to the pipe by using two stainless steel
straps and cinching tightly to form a watertight seal.
3.04 Any manhole which shows any sign of water infiltration within one year shall be sealed
immediately. Such sealing shall warrant the manhole for one full year from the date
the sealing work is accepted. Should any manhole be found to be showing signs of
infiltration after final acceptance, this will automatically extend the warranty of said
manhole.

3.05 All pipes entering the manhole shall be grouted around the exterior of the sleeve and
between the pipe and the wall of the manhole on the inside. The grout on the inside
shall form a smooth transition to the manhole wall.
3.06 Drop Manhole Connections: Construct Drop Manholes with outside drops as shown on
the plans where the difference in invert elevations between the influent and effluent
pipes is greater than 2.5 times the influent pipe diameter.
3.07 Where pre-cast inverts of 5000 PSI concrete are not used, all manhole inverts are to be
poured with concrete having a minimum of 6.5 bags cement per c.y. and a minimum
compressive strength of 5000 PSI at 28 days. Manholes which call for "Armoring"
shall not have air entrainment and the water-cement ratio shall not exceed 0.5.
