DIUMIMON OF WORK The work covered under this section shall consist of dirnishing all labor, equipment, and services for the installation of sanitary sewer piping as shown on the drawings and specified herein and in agreement with the General Conditions of these contract documents. B. H1`IDLINGA�D TORruru� tFrr�rc The Contractor shall unload material so as to avoid deformation or other injury thereto. Material shall not be rolled or dragged over gravel or rock during handling. The Connector shall store the appurtenances on sills above storm drainage level and deliver installations after the trench is excavated. When any material is damaged during transporting, unloading, handling or storing, the undamaged portions may be used or, if damaged sufficiently, the Engineer will reject the material as being unfit for installation. If any defective material is discovered after installation, it shall be removed and replaced with sound material or shall be repaired by the Contractor in an approved manner and at his own expense. C. FIEF ALIQDnMFNTAAID GgAbE The layout of underground sanitary sewer lines and invert elevations at governing points are as shown on the drawings. The Contractor shall do all layout work for lines and grades from the information shown on the drawings or as fiunished by the Engineer. When a laser bears instrument is used to set line and grade, the unit must be maintained in good working order, and the calibration checked daily for both alignment and percent grade. In the event the required accuracy of alignment and grade is rut adhered to,the Engineer will prohibit the use of laser beams. The Engineer shall field verify as-built invert elevations of all manholes as the work progresses (approximately each 1,000 L.F.of line construction). The as-constructed elevations shall be within a tolerance of 0.020 ft.± of the design elevations or the Contractor may be required to remove and relay the non- conforming work at his expense. Field survey work by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for field layout D. MPARATIMWE RIPE FOUNDATION The pipe foundation shall be prepared to be uniformly firm and shall be true to the lines and grades as shown on the plans. The preparation of the pipe bedding shall be in accordance with the typical trench cross sections as shown on the drawings. Under no circumstances shall pipe be laid in water, on rock, or when trench conditions or weather is unsuitable for such work. Whenever the nature of the ground will permit, the excavations at the bottom of the trench shall have the shape and dimensions of the outside lower thud of the circumference of the pipe,care being taken to secure a firm bearing support uniformly throughout the length of the pipe. A space shall be excavated under and around each bell to sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to allow ample space for filling and finishing the joint The pipe, when thus bedded firmly, shall be on the exact grade. In case the bed shaped in the bottom of the trench is too low, the pipe shall be completely removed from position and earth of suiitable quality shall be placed and thoroughly tamped to prepare a new foundation for the pipe. In no case shall the pipe be of same, but a new and uniform support must be provided for the full length of the pipe. Where rock DIVISION 7,SECTION 07260 L or boulders are encountered in the bottom of the trench, the same shall be removed to such depth that no part of the pipe, when laid to grade, will be closer to the rock or boulders than six (6) inches. A suitably tamped ind shaped foundation of approved material shall be placed to bring the bottom of the trench to proper subgrade over rock or boulders. Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting value, the Engineer may make minor adjustment in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation. Where this is not practical, the foundation shall be conditioned by removing the existing foundation material by undercutting to the depth as directed by the Engineer, within the limits established on the plans, and backfilling with either an approved material secured from unclassified excavation or borrow excavation at the nearest accessible location along the project,or foundation conditioning material consisting of crushed stone or gravel or a combination of sand and crushed stone or gravel approved by the Engineer as being suitable for the purpose intended. The selection of the type of backfill material to be used for foundation conditioning will be made by the Engineer. The Contractor shall remove all water which may be encountered or which may accumulate in the trenches by Pumping or bailing and no pipes shall be laid until the water has been removed from the trench. Water so removed from the trench must be disposed of in such a manner as not to cause injury to work completed e r in progress. E. PIPE LAyIN� Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of pipe laying, unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. In all cases, pipe is to be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and the contract material specifications. The Engineer may augment any manufacturer's installation recommendations if in his opimiat it will best serve the interest of the Owner. Proper tools, implements,and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used for the safe and convenient prosecution of pipe laying. All pipe and other materials used in the laying of pipe will be lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of suitable equipment in such a manner to prevent damage to the pipe, materials, to the protective coating on the pipe materials, and to provide a safe working condition to all personnel in the trench.

Replace moved paving and base course with new materials of equal or better quality and of the same texture and color -as the adjacent roadway. Cleanup: Grade all areas disturbed to a finish ordinarily obtained from a blade grader with no abrupt changes in grade or irregularities that will hold water. Prior to final inspection and acceptance, remove all rubbish and excess material and leave area a neat satisfactory condition. Select backfill material shall be placed to the top of flexible pipe, in accordance to the guidelines previously described, in areas where the pipe will be in groundwater and deeper than 6 inches deep. 03303 .5 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Payment shall be for the number of cubic yards delivered and incorporated into the project at locations called. for on the plans or approved by the Engineer or Owner. Payment shall be based on the unit price bid per cubic yard of backfill material . r SECTION 03307 EXTRA PIPE BEDDING 03307.1 SCOPE The work covered by this section consists of the furnishing and installing of additional pipe bedding material over and above that called for on the plans. This additional pipe bedding material shall be installed only when designated -by the Engineer/or Owner. And at the locations and depths designated by the Engineer or Owner. 03307 .2 MATERIAL The materials for this Bid Item shall be crushed stone or crushed gravel meeting the requirements of ASTM C033 Gradation 67 . 03307 .3 INSTALLATION . The installation of the additional bedding material shall be in a manner designated by the Engineer/or Owner. The pipe foundation shall be prepared in accordance with -the applicable method shown on the plans and shall be true to line and grade and uniformly firm. Where necessary, the invert grade shall be cambered by an amount sufficient to prevent the development of sag or back slope in the flow line. The Engineer/or Owner will determine the amount of camber used. Bedding material shall be placed and shaped beneath the pipe where so directed by the Engineer/or Owner. The pipe foundation shall be shaped to fit the outside of the pipe for at least 10% of its ' outside diameter under all pipe culverts . Where bell and spigot type is used recesses shall be excavated to receive the pipe bells. Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting value or of rock, the Engineer/or Owner may make minor adjustments in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation. Where this is not practical, the foundation shall be conditioned by removing the existing foundation material by undercutting to the depth as directed by the Engineer/or Owner, within the limits established on the plans, and with backfilling with either a suitable material secured for unclassified excavation or borrow excavation at the nearest accessible location along the project or foundation combination of sand and crushed stone or gravel approved by the Engineer/or Owner as being suitable for the purpose intended. The selection of the backfill of the type of backfill material to be used for the foundation conditioning will be made by the Engineer/or Owner. When necessary the contractor shall provide for the temporary diversion of water in order to maintain the pipe foundation in a dry condition. 03307.4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT The quantity of bedding material to be paid for will be actual number of tons of material, weighed in trucks on certified platform scales or other certified weighing devices, which has been used for shaping the pipe foundation in accordance with section 03307 .3 . SECTION 03400 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL COMPACTION 03400 .1 DESCRIPTION The work covered by this section consists of the excavation and satisfactory disposal of ' all materials excavated in the construction of trenches. Trenches will be defined as all excavation for the installation of storm sewers, sanitary sewers, waterlines, manholes, catch basins, hydrants, gate valves; sewer services, water taps, drainage structures, drainage ditches and other unclassified excavation as may be deemed necessary by the Engineer. 03400.2 GENERAL The excavation shall be done to the ' lines, grades, typical sections, and details shown on the plans or established by the Engineer. All work covered by this section shall be coordinated with the grading, construction of drainage structures, and other work along the project, and shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition so that adequate drainage is provided at all times. Any roots, which protrude into the trench, shall be trimmed flush with the sides of the trench. Trenches for the pipeline shall be completed before the pipe is installed unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer/or owner. All excavation shall be by open cut unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer. If the bottom of the excavation is found to consist of rock or any materials that cannot be excavated to give a uniform bearing surface, the material shall be removed at a depth of at least 6 inches below established bottom grade and backfilled to bottom grade with sand and thoroughly compacted in place. Any excavations carried below the depths indicated, without specific directions, shall be backfilled in the same manner. The excavation shall be of sufficient width to allow a clearance of not less than 6 inches between the side of the trench and the outside of the pipe, or in case of pipe with a bell, the outside of the bell of the pipe. This rule will apply at all times, and consequently, proper allowance must be made for additional space required for sheeting the trench where necessary.

The pipe foundation shall be prepared to be uniformly. firm and shall be true to the lines and grades as shown on the plans . The preparation of the pipe bedding shall be in accordance with the typical trench cross - sections as shown on the drawings . Under no circumstances shall pipe be laid in water, on rock, or when trench conditions or weather is unsuitable for such work. Whenever the nature of the ground will permit, the excavations at the bottom of the trench shall have the shape and dimensions of the outside lower third of the circumference of the pipe,' care being taken to secure a firm bearing support uniformly throughout the length of the pipe. A''space shall be excavated under, and around each bell to sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to allow ample space for filling and finishing the joint. The pipe, when thus bedded firmly, shall be on the exact grade. In case the bed shaped in the bottom of the trench is too low, the pipe shall be completely removed from position, and earth of suitable quality shall be placed and. thoroughly tamped to prepare a new foundation for the pipe. In no case shall the pipe be brought to grade by blocking up under the barrel or bell. of same, but a new and uniform support must be provided for the full length of the pipe. Where rock or boulders are encountered in the bottom of the trench, the same shall be removed to such depth that no part of the pipe, when laid to grade, will be closer to the rock or boulders than six (6) inches . A suitably tamped and shaped foundation of approved material shall be placed to bring the bottom of the trench to. proper subgrade over rock or boulders . Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting: value, the Engineer may make minor adjustment in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation.

All pipe and other materials used in the laying of pipe will be lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of suitable equipment in such a manner to prevent damage to the pipe, materials, to the protective coating_ on the pipe materials, and to provide a safe working condition to all personnel in the trench. Each piece of pipe being lowered into the trench shall be clean, sound and free from defects. It shall be laid on the prepared foundation, as specified elsewhere to produce a straight line on a uniform grade, each pipe being laid so as to form a smooth and straight inside flow line. Pipe shall be removed at any time if broken, injured or displaced in the process of laying same., or of backfilling the trench. When cutting short lengths of pipe, a pipe cutter as approved by the Engineer will be used and care will be taken to make the cut at right angles to the centerline of the pipe or on the exact skew as shown on -the plans. In the case of push-on pipe, the cut ends shall be tapered with a portable grinder, or coarse file to match the manufactured taper. During times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed and no trench water or other material shall be permitted to enter the pipe. Where the pipe is laid on a grade of ten (10) percent or greater, the laying shall start at the bottom of the slope and proceed upward with the bell end of the new pipe upgrade. All pipe laid on a grade of ten (10) percent or greater shall require thrust blocking and keying as shown on the drawings and standard details. Where pipelines of different materials are joined together a standard sewer repair coupling shall be used. The coupling's shall be Eastern Standard Sewer Repair Couplings (Mission Rubber Company) , the Fernco Joint Sealer Company or an equal product approved by the Engineer. 07120 . 6 BACKFILLING All backfill shall be compacted so as not to damage the pipe and appurtenances and shall be compacted to ninety-five (95) percent of the Standard Proctor Test for the various types of backfill materials.

DESCRIPTION OF W RK The work covered under this section shall consist of famishing all labor, equipment, and services for the installation of sanitary sewer piping as shown on the drawings and specified herein and in agreement with the General Conditions of these contract documents. B. HANDLRNQ AND STORING MATERIALS The Contractor shall unload material so as to avoid deformation or other injury thereto. Material shall not be rolled or dragged over gravel or rock during handling. The Contractor shall store the appurtenances on sills above storm drainage level and deliver installations after the trench is excavated. When any material is damaged during transporting, unloading, handling or storing, the undamaged portions may be used or, if damaged sufficiently, the Engineer will reject the material as being unfit for installation. If any defective material is discovered after installation, it shall be removed and replaced with sound material or shall be repaired by the Contractor in an approved manner and at his own expense. C. PIPE ALIGNMENT AND GRAD The layout of underground sanitary sewer lines and invert elevations at governing points are as shown on the drawings. The Contractor shall do all layout work for lines and grades from the information shown on the drawings or as furnished by the Engineer. When a laser beam instrument is used to set line and grade, the unit must be maintained in good working order, and the calibration checked daily for both alignment and percent grade. In the event the required accuracy of alignment and grade is not adhered to,the Engineer will prohibit the use of laser beams. The Engineer shall field verify as-built invert elevations of all manholes as the work progresses (approximately each 1,000 L.F.of line construction). The as-constructed elevations shall be within a tolerance of 0.020 ft± of the design elevations or the Contractor may be required to remove and relay the non- conforming work at his expense. Field survey work by the Engineer shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for field layout. D. PREPARA-TION OF PIPE FOUNDATION The pipe foundation shall be prepared to be uniformly firm and shall be true to the lines and grades as shown on the plans. The preparation of the pipe bedding shall be in accordance with the typical trench cross sections as shown on the drawings. Under no circumstances shall pipe be laid in water, on rock, or when trench conditions or weather is unsuitable for such work. Whenever the nature of the ground will permit, the excavations at the bottom of the trench shall have the shape and dimensions of the outside lower third of the circumference of the pipe, care being taken to secure a firm bearing support uniformly throughout the length of the pipe. A space shall be excavated under and around each bell to sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to allow ample space for filling and finishing the joint. The pipe, when thus bedded firmly, shall be on the exact grade. In case the bed shaped in the bottom of the trench is too low, the pipe shall be completely removed from position, and earth of suitable quality shall be placed and thoroughly tamped to prepare a new foundation for the pipe. In no case shall the pipe be of same, but a new and uniform support must be provided for the full length of the pipe. Where rock DMSION 7,SECTION 07260 1 or boulders are encountered in the bottom of the trench, the same shall be removed to such depth that no part of the pipe, when laid to grade, will be closer to the rock or boulders than six (6) inches. A suitably tamped and shaped foundation of approved material shall be placed to bring the bottom of the trench to proper subgrade over rock or boulders. Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting value, the Engineer may make minor adjustment in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation. Where this is not practical, the foundation shall be conditioned by removing the existing foundation material by undercutting to the depth as directed by the Engineer, within the limits established on the plans, and backfilling with either an approved material secured from unclassified excavation or borrow excavation at the nearest accessible location along the project,or foundation conditioning material consisting of crushed stone or gravel or a combination o£sand and crushed stone or gravel approved by the Engineer as being suitable for the purpose intended. The selection of the type of backfill material to be used for foundation conditioning will be made by the Engineer. The Contractor shall remove all water which may be encountered or which may accumulate in the trenches by pumping or bailing and no pipes shall be laid until the water has been removed from the trench. Water so removed from the trench must be disposed of in such a manner as not to cause injury to work completed or in progress. E. PIPE LAYING Pipe shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of pipe laying, unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. In all cases, pipe is to be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and the contract material specifications. The Engineer may augment any manufacturer's installation recommendations if,in his opinion,it will best serve the interest of the Owner. Proper tools, implements, and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used for the safe and convenient prosecution of pipe laying. All pipe and other materials used in the laying of pipe will be lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of suitable equipment in such a manner to prevent damage to the pipe, materials, to the protective coating on the pipe materials, and to provide a safe working condition to all personnel in the trench. Each piece of pipe being lowered into the trench shall be clean sound and free from defects. It shall be laid on the prepared foundation as specified elsewhere to produce a straight line on a uniform grade, each pipe being laid so as to form a smooth and straight inside flow line. Pipe shall be removed at any time if broken,injured or displaced in the process of laying same,or of backfilling the trench. When cutting short lengths of pipe, a pipe cutter as approved by the Engineer will be used and care will be taken to make the cut at right angles to the centerline of the pipe or on the exact skew as shown on the plans. In the case of push-on pipe, the cut ends shall be tapered with a portable grinder, or coarse file to match the manufactured taper. During times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed and no trench water or other material shall be permitted to enter the pipe. Where the pipe is laid on a grade of 10 percent or greater, the laying shall start at the bottom of the slope and proceed upward with the bell end of the new pipe upgrade. All pipe laid on a grade of 10 percent or greater shall require thrust blocking and keying as shown on the drawings and standard details. Where pipe lines of different materials are joined together,a standard sewer repair coupling shall be used.The couplings shall be Eastern Standard Sewer Repair Couplings (Mission Rubber Company), the Femco Joint Sealer Company,or an equal product approved by the Engineer. F.

Pipe shall not be placed within pipe of a larger size and shall not be rolled or dragged over gravel or rock during handling. The Contractor shall store the pipe on sills above storm drainage level and deliver for laying after the trench is excavated. When any joint or section of pipe is damaged during transporting, unloading, 'handling, or storing, the undamaged portions of the joint or section may be used where partial lengths are needed, or, if damaged sufficiently, the Engineer will reject the joint or section as being unfit for installation. If any defective pipe is discovered after installation, it shall be removed and replaced with sound pipe or shall be repaired by the Contractor in an approved manner and at his own expense. 07120.3 PIPE ALIGNMENT AND GRADE The layout of gravity sanitary sewer lines and invert elevations at governing points are as shown on the drawings . The Contractor shall do all layout work for lines and grades from that information shown on the drawings or as furnished by the Engineer. When a laser beam instrument is used to set line and grade, the unit must be maintained in good working order, and the calibration checked daily for both alignment and percent grade. In the event the r=_auired accuracy of alignment and grade is not adhered to, the Engineer will prohibit the use of laser beams . 07120 .4 PREPARATION OF PIPE FOUNDATION The pipe foundaticn shall be prepared to be uniformly firm and shall be true to :he lines and grades as shown on the plans . The preparation of the pipe bedding shall be in accordance with the typical trench cross sections as shown on the drawings . 07120-1 Under no circumstances s-all pipe be laid in water, on rock, or when trench conditions or weather is unsuitable for such work. Whenever the nature of the ground will per-nit, the excavations at the bottom of the trench shall have the shape and dimensions of the outside lower third of the circumference of the pipe, care being taken to secure a firm bearing support uniformly throughout the length of the pipe. A space shall be excavated under and around each bell to sufficient depth to relieve it of any load and to allow ample space for filling and finishing the joint. The pipe, when thus bedded firmly, shall be on the exact grade. In case the bed shaped in the bottom of the trench is too low, the pipe shall be completely removed from position, and earth of suitable quality shall be placed and thoroughly tamped to prepare a new foundation for the pipe. In no case shall the pipe be brought to grade by blocking up under the barrel or bell of same, but a new and uniform support must be provided for the full length of the pipe. Where rock or boulders are encountered in the bottom of the trench, the same shall be removed to such depth that no part of the pipe, when laid to grade, will be closer to the rock or boulders than six (6) inches . A suitably tamped and shaped foundation of approved material shall be placed to bring the bottom of the trench to proper subgrade over rock or boulders . Where the foundation material is found to be of poor supporting value, the Engineer may make minor adjustment in the location of the pipe to provide a more suitable foundation. Where this is not practical, the foundation shall be conditioned by removing the existing foundation material by undercutting to the depth as directed by the Engineer, within the limits established on the plans, and backfilling with either an approved material secured from unclassified excavation or borrow excavation at the nearest accessible location along the project, or foundation conditioning material consisting of crushed stone or gravel or a combination of sand and crushed stone or gravel approved by the Engineer as being suitable for the purpose intended. The selection of the type of backfill material to be used for foundation conditioning will be made by the Engineer. The Contractor shall remove all water which may be encountered or which may accumulate in the trenches by pumping or bailing and no pipes shall be laid until the water has been removed from the trench. Water so removed from the trench must be disposed of in such a manner as not to cause injury to work completed or in progress . 07120-2 07120 . 5 PIPE LAYING Pine shall be laid with bell ends facing in the direction of pipe laying, unless directed otherwise by the Engineer. In all cases, pipe is to be installed in strict accordance with the manufacturer ' s recommendations and the contract material specifications . The Engineer may augme= any manufacturer' s installation recc.-mendations if, in his coinion, it will best serve the interest of the Owner. Proper tools , implements, and facilities satisfactory to the Engineer shall be provided and used for the safe and convenient prosecution of pipe laying. All pipe and other materials used in the laying of pipe will be lowered into the trench piece by piece by means of suitable equipment in such a manner to prevent damage to the pipe, materials, to the protective coating on the pipe materials, and to provide a safe working condition to all personnel in the trench. Each piece of pipe being lowered into the trench shall be clean, sound and free from defects . It shall be laid on the prepared foundation, as specified elsewhere to produce a straight line on a uniform grade, each pipe being laid so as to form a smooth and straight inside flow line. Pipe shall be removed at any time if broken, injured or displaced in the process of laying same, or of backfilling the trench. When cutting short lengths of pipe, a pipe cutter as approved by the Engineer will be used and care will be taken to make the cut at right angles to the centerline of the pipe or on the exact skew as shown on the plans. In the case of push-on pipe, the cut ends shall be tapered with a portable grinder, or coarse file to match the manufactured taper. During times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed and no trench water or other material shall be permitted to enter the pipe . Where the pipe is laid on a grade of ten (10) percent or greater, the laying shall start at the bottom of the slope and proceed upward with the bell end of the new pipe upgrade. All pipe laid on a grade of ten (10) percent or greater shall require thrust blocking and keying as shown on the drawings and standard details . Where pipe lines of different materials are joined together a standard sewer repair coupling shall be used. The couplings shall be Eastern Standard Sewer Repair Couplings (Mission Rubber Company) , the Fernco Joint Sealer Company or an equal product approved by the Engineer. 07120-3 07120 . 6 BACKFILLING All backfill shall be compacted so as not =o damage the pipe and appurtenances and shall be compacted to ninety-five (95) percent of the Standard Proctor Test for the various types of backfill materials . Methods of backfilling shall be in stric� accordance with the pipe manufacturer' s recommendations . All backfill materials shall have been approved by the Engineer. Select backfill material shall be used when requested by the Engineer. Select material shall be defined as a finely graded material free from stones over one-half (1/) 2 inch in diameter, plastic clays, organic material, frozen lumps and various debris and shall be approved by the Engineer prior to its installation. Care shall be taken during backfill and compaction operations to maintain alignment and prevent damage to the joints . The backfill shall be kept free from stones, frozen lumps, chunks of highly plastic clay, or other objectional material . All pipe backfill areas shall be graded and maintained in such a condition that erosion or saturation will not damage the pipe bed or backfill . Heavy equipment shall not be operated over any pipe until it has been properly backfilled and has a minimum cover as required by the plans . Where any part of the required cover is above the proposed finish grade, the Contractor shall place, maintain, and finally remove such material at no cost to the Owner. Pipe which becomes mis-aligned, shows excessive settlement, or has been otherwise damaged by the Contractor' s operations shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The Contractor shall maintain all pipes installed in a condition that they will function continuously from the time the pipe is installed until the project is accepted. 07120.7 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT Quantities of pipe installed in accordance with the requirements of this section shall be verified in the field by the Engineer.
