1. The Following Work Was Observed to Be Completed
a. Force Main- 30-inch: Cleared and grubbed from station 0+00. to -approximately
154+00. The contractor is using mulch from the wood chipper to stabilize the
soils. All of the silt fence has been installed. Pipe has been installed from
approximately stations 3+00 to 110+30 and 114+63 to 150+68. Some rock was
encountered at approximately station 103+00, so the rock was bypassed and pipe
installation was continued. Six Nffls/air release valves have also been installed in
the second segment of pipe installed. The delivery of lined pipe and fittings to the
contractor had been delayed but is all now along the force main route. All five of
the bores have been completed. The boring at station 2+90-was completed after
additional augering and some tunneling were performed. The force main from

-4-
3+00 to 101+00 has been backfilled, grassed and mulched. Some asphalt patching
has been completed. The wooden piles starting at'approximately station 155+50
have been driven into the soil. All of the concrete supports and cradles have been
completed and the pipe has.been installed.
b. Gravity Sewer: Clearing and mulching have been completed between stations
146+00 to approximately 167+00. Pipe from approximately 137+44 to 167+00
and all the corresponding manholes have been installed and tested. The tunnel
under Bringle Ferry Road has been completed.and the pipe installed. The tie-in for
the tunnel appears incomplete. The Cannon Mills outfall extension has been

along Town Creek have been installed, tested, mulched and seeded with only some
site landscaping and clean-up needed. Trailers have been moved from the right-
of-way within the trailer park. Seeding and mulching have been started in areas
where pipe testing has been completed. The pipe line easements for much of the
project needsto be cleaned for debris and construction material.. There is a
possibility that the 200-foot bore in the Tar Branch section may now be open cut.
C. Pump Station: Site layout and stakeouthave been completed. Sediment trap and
silt fence have been completed. The excavation has been completed with rock
being encountered at approximately 1/3 the distance to grade. Some of the rock
had to be blasted. The engineer and city have agreed to remove one vertical joint
so that the contractor can do a more continual concrete pour, which should help
the contractor's, overall schedule. The base slab and top slab have been competed.
The forms for the top slab have been removed. The outside. walls have been
completed. The inside walls and decking have been .completed up to the top slab.
The 30 DIP has begun to be installed within the pump station. Pipe cores in the
outside walls have been 'completed. The 42" piping from the wetwell to the
existing flow control box has been installed and tied -in. The 24" piping has been

1. The Following Work Was Observed to Be Completed
a. Force Main- 30-inch: Cleared and grubbed from station 0+00 to approximately
98+00. Additional clearing has been completed through station 154+00. The
contractor is using mulch from the wood chipper to stabilize the soils. Most of
the silt fence has been installed. Pipe has been installed from approximately
stations 3+00 to 85+00. The delivery of lined pipe and fittings to the contractor
had been delayed but is all now along the force main route. Four bores have been
completed with only the bore at RT. 29 and Rt. 70 still left to be completed.
Possible change orders for restraint piping needed are being discussed. The
boring at station 2+90 encountered rock, and additional site augers were requested
in order to get a better cross section of the area. This boring was completed after
additional augering and some tunneling were performed. The wooden piles
starting at approximately station 155+50 have been driven into the soil. The first
concrete support area has been excavated and the concrete cradle form work has
been completed. There is some concern on the positioning of the piles for the first
concrete cradle.
b. Gravity Sewer: Clearing and mulching have been completed between stations
146+00 to approximately 167+00. Four manholes have been installed. Pipe from
approximately 146+00 to 167+00 has been installed. Most of the 42" pipe has
been delivered and is now being stored in the right-of-way. Trailers have been
moved from the right-of-way within the trailer park. The encroachment and right-
of-way issue that arose with Duke Power has been resolved with an extra manhole

-4-
added in the area. The Bringle Ferry ROW issue with NCDOT has been resolved.
Some of the erosion and sediment control around station 'l58+00 needs to be
repaired.
C. Pump Station: Site layout and stakeout have been completed. Sediment trap and
silt fence have been completed. The excavation has been completed with rock
being encountered at approximately 1/3 the distance to grade. Some of the rock
had to be blasted. Because of the rock encountered, the contractor is somewhat
behind schedule. The engineer and city have agreed to. remove one vertical joint
so that the contractor can do a more continual concrete pour, which should help
the contractor's overall schedule. The base slab has been completed. The outside
walls have completed up to first lift for all the outside walls. The site has been
backfilled up to the first lift of the outside walls. Additionally, most of the
formwork for the second lift of the outside wall has been completed. The
concrete for east wall of the second lift of the outside wall was being completed at
the time of the inspection. The reinforcement and form work of the first lift of the
inside walls appears to be complete.
d. Electrical for Pump Station: The work over at the Grant Creek WWTP has been
completed. The conduit work for the Town Creek Pump Station has begun.
General: The contractors' office trailers have been set up. Some have had power
established to the trailers. Most clearing and grubbing have been performed.
Most erosion control measures have been installed. The general contractors were
on site during this inspection. The electrical contractor has mobilized and started
work at the site.
2. Work Schedule for Next Month
Contract Al = Continue clearing and installation of the force mains. Complete the
borings.
Contract B 1 - Continue clearing and installation of the gravity sewer.
Contract B2 - Continue wall pours of pump station.
Contract B2 - Continue electrical conduit work at the pump station.

addressed by the City of Salisbury. As a result, possible change orders may be
needed. The city also discussed testing the force main using blind flanges to
shorten the length of the pressure test.

98+00. Additional clearing has been completed through station 154+00. The
contractor is using mulch from the wood chipper to stabilize the soils. Most of
the silt fence has been installed. Pipe has been installed from approximately
stations 3+00 to 7+00 and 40+50 to 52+00. The delivery of lined pipe and fittings
to the contractor has been delayed due to overall industry demand. The bore at
Long Street was being started at the time of the inspection.. Possible change
orders for restraint piping needed are being discussed. The. boring at station 2+90
encountered rock and additional site augers were requested in order to get a better
cross section of the area.
b. Gravity Sewer: Clearing and mulching have been completed between stations
146+00 to approximately 167+00. Four manholes have been installed. Pipe from
approximately .146+00 to 150+00 and 152+00 to 158+00 has been installed..
Some of the 42" pipe has been delivered and is now being stored in the right -of -
way. Duke Power has been observed moving power poles out of the way of the
right-of-way. Blasting was being done between stations 137+00 and 139+00, and
the pit was being prepared for the tunneling of Bringle Ferry Road. Trailers have
been moved from the right-of-way within the trailer park. Some encroachment
and right of -way issues have arisen with Duke Power including the manhole at
station 151+11.

-4-
c. Pump Station: Site layout and stakeout have been completed. Sediment trap and
silt fence have been completed. The excavation has been started with rock being
encountered at approximately 1/3 the distance to grade. Approximately 25% of
the excavation to grade has'been completed. Some of the rock had to be blasted.
Because of the rock encountered, the contractor is somewhat behind schedule.
The engineer and City have agreed to remove one vertical joint so that the
contractor can do a more continual concrete pour which should help the
contractor's overall schedule.
d. Electrical for Pump Station: No work has been completed at this time.
j. General: The contractors' office trailers have been set up. Some have had power
established to the trailers. Most clearing and grubbing have been performed.
Most erosion control measures have been installed. The general contractors were
on site during this inspection. The electrical contractor has yet to mobilize and
start work at the site.
2. Work Schedule for Next Month

Town of Salisbury
Town Creek Interceptor Relocation
Phase II
Review Comments
General
1. * Provide an updated project schedule and cost estimate for this phase as well as for the
force main portion of the project.
2. * A current signed Corps permit must be provided before this office can approve the plans
and specifications.
3. * The Land Quality approval letter of the sedimentation and erosion control plan is
required. This office will require a copy of the final (revised) letter prior to our approval
of the plans and specifications
4. * Applicable portions of the SRF checklist must be completed and submitted to this office.
5. * Detailed design calculations must be submitted to this office. These calculations should
show all gravity sewers half -full at peak flow.

Plans Review
General
Provide the basis for providing concrete encasement of DIP in each instance where it is
used. If flotation is the justification, please provide buoyancy calculations for each
location.
2. * This office strongly recommends re-routing the Tar Branch Outfall to follow the road
right-of-ways. This would eliminate having to run the sewer lines in such proximity to
houses, garages, and outbuildings, as well as Tar Branch itself.
3. * Permanent and construction easements should be shown on every plan sheet.
4. Confirm the benchmarks shown on the plans are adequate for construction.
5. The exact meaning of note 18 is unclear to this office. Please provide an explanation and
show on the plans where it applies.
6. * Sheet 15 through Sheet 17 should include a requirement for a screen on the vents.
7. * Sheet 15 through Sheet 20 should include a requirement for the screen to be welded on to
the vent prior to coating of the vent due to safety and durability concerns.
8. * Plan and profile view of all the connecting lines between existing manholes and proposed
manholes need to be included. Examples of where profile views are missing are on sheet
2, sheet 5, sheet 6, sheet 7 (two locations), sheet 10, and sheet 11 (two locations).
9. Advise why DIP is required for sewer connections on sheet 2, sheet 5, sheet 6, sheet 7
(two locations), sheet 10, and sheet 11 (two locations).
10. * Costs for sewer connections should be broken out in the bids as 8" DIP sewer
connections. Presently such costs are required to be included in the cost of manholes,
cost of 42" interceptor, etc. which is unacceptable.
11. It is recommended that all plugs of existing lines be labeled, as well as shown, on the plan
sheets.

12. * Typically this office expects a drop manhole to be provided when the difference between
inverts exceeds two feet. With large diameter sewers, this office expects the branch
sewers to be introduced into the manhole so that the crown of the branch sewer matches
the crown of the outgoing sewer. A drop connection is expected when the difference in
crown elevations exceeds two feet. Advise if drop manholes are needed at the following
locations:
a) The west side of the manhole at station 4+76.04 on sheet 2
b) The manhole at station 141+28.16 on sheet 5
c) The manhole at station 168+49.37 on sheet 6
d) The west side of the manhole at station 0+00.00 on sheet 10
e) The west side of the manhole at station 15+03.96 on sheet 11
f) The west side of the manhole at station 19+78.59 on sheet 11
Sheet 1
* The fact that sewer service connections are to be included in the price of pipe needs to be
included in note 22 on the plans and specifications.
2. * Tar Branch should be shown on the Vicinity Map.
3. * Advise if borrow and/or fill areas are available on the project site(s).
4. * Indicate on the plans where temporary fencing will be required to prevent the escape of
livestock.
5. The first two of the station numbers given for location of the anti -seepage collars do not
match what is on plan sheet 3.
6. - It is recommended that the numbers of all manholes to be abandoned be given in note 21.
Sheet 2
1. * Clearly indicate how construction is to take place around the existing 12" sewer line in
the Arlington Street Sewer Detail. This line passes directly through the proposed line and
manhole in the plan view, but it is not shown in the profile view. Generally, this office
would the line would remain in service until the end of the project when it will be
abandoned, but that seems impossible here.
2. * The tie-in of the proposed 15" PVC sewer should be shown and labeled in the plan and
profile views of the Arlington Street Sewer Detail for clarity.
3. Advise if the work shown in the Town Creek Interceptor Detail on this sheet from station
75+00 to station 82+00 is part of this contract. If so, more detail should be given. If not
the plan view and profile view should show the work beginning at station 82+00. It is not

clear if the crossing of McCanless Road is existing or proposed. If it is existing, station
75+00 to station 82+00 should be taken out of the plans. If it is proposed, advise how
McCanless Road will be crossed. The plans seem to indicate it will be a bore and jack.
However, the specifications do not confirm this.
4. Advise why DIP is required for the Arlington Street Sewer.
5. * Provide the 100-year flood elevation for the manholes on the Arlington Street sewer.
6. Since the City can clean 500 feet in between manholes, advise if the manhole at station
2+40.00 of the Arlington Sewer can be eliminated.
7. * Advise what the requirements are regarding the existing (?) manhole northwest of the
proposed manhole at station 82+13.14. Are these manholes to be tied together, or is the
line an existing one that needs to be plugged? If a new 24-inch sewer is required then a
profile view must be provided.
8. Confirm construction can take place at the manhole at station 4+76.04 as there is a power
line running directly over the proposed manhole.
9. * Clearly indicate the contractor's responsibility regarding demolition of any of the
existing 12-inch sewer line.
10. Consideration should be given to numbering the proposed manholes for clarity.
Sheet 3
Consideration should be given to showing anti -seepage collars on plan views as well as
profile views on this and other sheets.
2. * Provide the engineering basis for location and frequency of the anti -seepage collars
shown on sheet 3 and sheet 4.
3. Clearly identify all mitigative requirements for working in wetland areas.
Sheet 5
1. Provide a profile detail for the gate connecting the two 6-foot chain length fences.
2. * Confirm 42-inch sanitary sewer can reasonably be constructed at station 150+65 without
damage to the adjacent structure. Clearly indicate in the plans and specifications how the
contractor is to construct the line with such limited easements.
3. Advise why the 42-inch interceptor could not be offset by 25 feet to the south to reduce

tree clearing between station 151+89.67 and station 161+00.00 and to reduce conflict
with the housing project at station 160+50.
4. * Clearly identify any necessary erosion control measures in the vicinity of station
146+23.18.
5. * Indicate in the plans and specifications where trailer park residents will be allowed to
park their cars since only walking access will be provided to their homes.
6. Station numbers for the anti -seepage collars on this sheet are not given.
7. * A note on the top left of this sheet says that the existing 24-inch line is to remain in
service. However, manholes along this line are to be abandoned and lines to the 42"
interceptor are to be plugged. Please clarify.
8. The proposed manhole at 148+20.68 seems to be mislabeled as 147+20.68 in a note
referencing the connection between it and existing manhole 33.
Sheet 7
1. The profile views of the proposed manhole at station 201+16.00 and the proposed
manhole at station 206+03.51 do not show the proposed 8-inch branch sewers.
2 The plan view of the proposed 8" line between the existing manhole and the proposed
manhole at station 201+16.00 should show the necessary easements.
3. The plan view of the proposed 8" line between the existing manhole and the proposed
manhole at station 206+03.51 should show the necessary easements.
4. Advise if a plug is needed in the existing 18" sewer line adjacent to where it dumps into
existing manhole 199+14.62.
5. * Confirm the City can clean the 638 feet of line between proposed manhole 206+03.51
and proposed manhole 212+41.40
Sheet 8
Advise if additional security measures will be required around the playground shown on
this sheet.
2. * Provide a detailed construction sequence for demolition of the existing pipeline and
construction of the proposed pipeline from station 220+00 to station 221+80.92. Sewer
service must be maintained during construction.
3. * Advise how flows from the existing 15-inch sewer line will be handled as it appears to

Sheet 9
have flows entering it at one point, but both ends of the pipe are blocked.
Confirm the Canon Mills Outfall cannot be moved to avoid the existing houses it must
skirt, and the extreme close proximity to Tar Branch.
2. Advise if the chain link fences shown on this sheet contain livestock, dogs, or are
necessary for security reasons. Confirm construction in these areas will not be
problematic.
Confirm no anti -seepage collars are required at the locations shown on this sheet.
4. Advise if the creek crossing at approximate station 3+00 can be re -configured. The
pipeline should be perpendicular to the creek to minimize impact.
5. * Provide a detailed construction sequence for demolition of the existing pipeline and
construction of the proposed pipeline around the existing manhole at station 15+00.
Sewer service must be maintained during construction.
6. * The creek should be shown in the profile at station 6+50.
7. Advise if the pipeline around station 0+50 can be re -configured to avoid crossing the
creek twice.
8. * Confirm the construction easement passes through a house at station 9+75.
9. The pipe crossing the proposed pipeline at approximate station 7+60 is labeled as CMP in
the plan view and RCP in the profile view.
10. Advise if the creek curves back into the proposed sewer line at approximate station 11+00
as the vicinity plan on sheet 1 indicates. If so, it should be shown on this sheet.
11. * It would appear that the encasement running along the bottom of Town Creek from
station 1+60 to station 2+10 will obstruct flow. Confirm this is not the case.
12. * It would appear that the encasement running along the bottom of the smaller creek from
station 0+35 to 0+65 will obstruct flow. Confirm this is not the case.
13. * The manhole at station 3+83.37 on the Floral (Florial?) Drive Outfall is listed as being
10-feet in diameter on the plan view, and 8-feet in diameter in the profile view. On sheet
5 it is listed as 10-feet in diameter.
14. * Equality stationing shown on sheet 9 for station 3+83.37 does not match stationing shown
on sheet 5.

Sheet 10
1. Advise if the chain link fences shown on this sheet contain livestock, dogs, or are
necessary for security reasons. Confirm construction in these areas will not be
problematic.
2. Advise how the pipe will be laid under the outbuilding shown on this sheet. The plans
should state if the outbuilding must be moved or demolished.
The pipe should be rerouted around the existing garage to avoid the need for boring and
jacking underneath it. The garage should be shown in the profile view. As shown,
construction in this area seems excessively difficult and costly.
4. Advise how the manhole at station 6+98.06 will be constructed in such proximity to the
outbuilding adjacent to it. The plans should state if the outbuilding must be moved or
demolished.
5. * Confirm the sanitary sewer can reasonably be constructed at station 7+80 and station
9+30 without damage to the adjacent structure. Clearly indicate in the plans and
specifications how the contractor is to construct the line with limited easements and
clearly show all easements in this location.
6. * Confirm the retaining wall and stone headwall shown at station 4+25 are existing and will
not be damaged during construction.
7. * Confirm the sanitary sewer can reasonably be constructed at station 4+35 without damage
to the adjacent house. Clearly indicate in the plans and specifications how the contractor
is to construct the line with limited easements and clearly show all easements in this
location. Confirm the permanent easement goes through this house.
8. Confirm that no portion of the woods from station 10+00 to 11+95 need to be protected.
9. * Since the proposed line crosses the existing line and they also run together in very close
proximity, advise if portions of the existing 12-inch sanitary sewer will have to be
demolished. If the contractor will be responsible for any demolition of this line, the
contract documents should clearly show and state what the requirements are.
10. Confirm no anti -seepage collars are required at the locations shown on this sheet.
11. Provide a detailed construction sequence for demolition of the existing pipeline and
construction of the proposed pipeline through the existing manhole at station 11+95.21.
Sewer service must be maintained during construction.
12. Confirm the manhole at station 6+98.06 needs to be sealed since it is above the 100 year

flood elevation.
13. Confirm the construction easement runs through the house at the corner of Boundary
Street and east Council Street.
Sheet 11
1. Since the City can clean 500 feet in between manholes, confirm the manhole at station
17+41.27 is necessary.
2. Confirm no anti -seepage collars are required at any locations shown on this sheet.
3. Confirm the manhole at station 15+03.96 can reasonably be constructed with a power line
running directly overhead.
4. * Confirm a minimum horizontal separation of 12 inches is provided between the 24" RCP
at station 14+80 and the proposed 15" sewer.
5. Advise if the sewer between the manholes at station 15+03.96 and station 19+78.59 could
be moved several feet to the east to avoid passing through the creek.
6. The creek should be shown on the profile view from station 18+25 to station 19+00.
7. The portion of the power line that crosses the sewer at station 19+25 is not shown on the
west side of the crossing.
Sheet 12
1. This sheet calls for the removal of the existing 18" sewer line. Confirm this is necessary.
2. The plan view on this page calls for replacing the existing 18" sewer with a new 12" PVC
sewer, while the profile view shows a new 8" PVC sewer.
3. Confirm the proposed sewer lines, and the improvements to the existing manhole, shown
on this sheet can reasonably be constructed in such close proximity to the electrical
towers and power lines.
4. Confirm the 8" and/or 12" lines on this sheet are for collection only. Note that collection
lines are not eligible for SRF funding.
5. Provide a detailed construction sequence for demolition of the existing pipeline and
construction of the proposed pipeline. Sewer service must be maintained during
construction.

6. The 8" sewer line into the manhole at station 0+00 on this sheet is not shown in the
profile view.
7. Provide the engineering justification for reducing the pipe diameter from the existing 18-
inches to the proposed 8-inches.
Sheet 13
* Advise where the Sewer Service Connection Detail and the Sewer Service Clean -Out
Detail shown on this sheet apply. Note that this office only pays for individual
connections within the right-of-way.
2. * Confirm all backfill will be compacted to 95% Standard Proctor density as called for in
the Trench, Bedding, and Backfill Detail and the Backfill Detail for SDR-35 PVC Pipe.
Also confirm that such compaction is necessary. Typically this office expects 95%
compaction under structures and paving, and 90% compaction everywhere else.
* Confirm all compaction requirements will be enforced. If the contractor is not held
accountable, this office will require a deductive change order at the end of the project.
4. * Regarding streets and parking lots, advise in the contract documents if asphalt must be
saw -cut to lay sewer lines.
Sheet 14
1. * The Anti -Seepage Collar Detail calls for 90% compaction of the backfill, while all the
other backfilling details call for 95% compaction. Advise which is correct and clarify the
instructions on the plans.
2. Advise where the tunnel details on this sheet apply.
3. Advise if the "Highway Crossing Detail" should be re -labeled as "Bore and Jack Detail"
since bore and jack is also called for under a garage.
Sheet 18 to Sheet 20
1. Manhole steps are not shown on these sheets.

Section 1800
The contractor should be required to have insurance for himself and the subcontractors
but not for the engineer or owner (page 1800-2). Insurance of the owner and engineer is
not eligible and must be removed from the contract or broken out in the bids. Also, the
contractor should not be required to indemnify the owner and engineers for acts of
negligence on their part.

eligible for funding.
2. Paragraph 1 C43.4B states that if the engineer gives direction to leave sheeting in place
then the contractor will be not be paid for that sheeting left in place. This will likely
result in inflated bid prices. Instead, the bids should include a unit price and realistic
estimated quantity for sheeting left in place. Reimbursement for this item will only be
eligible when supported with drawings showing where sheeting remains in place.
Page 1C43-5
1. * Paragraph D. should also require the pipe to be ferrous and comply with public water
supply design standards. The pipe should also be pressure tested to 150 psi before
backfilling to assure water tightness.

not page 500-39.
2. * Section 17.0 on page 500-13 suggests that such costs will be deducted from the contract
amount. Deducting from the contract price reduces the eligible loan amount. We
encourage an exchange of checks at the end of the job. Advise why the owner is willing
to give up a portion of the eligible loan amount in lieu of documenting the paper
trail through an exchange of checks at the end of the job.

3. * It is suggested that Section 33.0 on page 500-20 be removed altogether in order to avoid
confusion.
4. * Advise if patent fees (section 40.0, page 500-23) are applicable for this project. If not, this
item should be removed. Reasonable royalties associated with the procurement of the
right -to -use or the rights in a patented product, apparatus, or process are allowable cost
for loan participation if satisfactorily proven that they are necessary and cost effective,
and prior written approval is obtained from this office.
5. * Section 43.0 on page 500-24 suggests that such costs will be deducted from the contract
amount. Deducting from the contract price reduces the eligible loan amount. We
encourage an exchange of checks at the end of the job. Advise why the owner is willing
to give up a portion of the eligible loan amount in lieu of documenting the paper
trail through an exchange of checks at the end of the job.
6. * Instructions for the project sign in Section 48.0 should state that the sign should read
"Financed in part by State and Federal funds", and "An Equal Opportunity Project".
7. * Advise where the sample for the project sign that is mentioned in section 48.0 on page
500-25 can be found.
8. * It is suggested that Section 49.0 on page 500-25 be removed altogether in order to avoid
confusion.
9. * Confirm that the benchmarks and control points which the engineer is to provide (Section
30.0, paragraph A., page 500-18) are shown on the drawings.
Section 600
Regarding Section 4.0 on page 600-2, the project should not be advertised until receipt of
a Proper Wage Rate Decision.
2. * Sentence 2 of the first paragraph of Section 8.0 on page 600-3 should read "...
Mooresville Regional Office of the N.C. Division of Water Quality" rather than "...
Raleigh Regional Office of the N.C. Division of Environmental Management".
3. The error, if it is an error, in part "G." on page 600-6 should be corrected, or the comment
deleted.
4. Note that there are two different pages numbered as 600-6.

15,097 linear feet shown in Item 3 (a) on page 700-4.
2. * A summary of the 36-inch DIP, restrained joint, shown on the plans yields 3,560 linear
feet, not the 3,000 linear feet shown in Item 3 (b) on page 700-5.
3. * A summary of the 48" O.D. - 0.625" thick steel encasement pipe shown on the plans
yields 108 linear feet, not the 72 linear feet shown in Item 5 (b) on page 700-6.
4. * A summary of the air release valve assemblies shown on the plans yields 6, not 5 as
shown in Item 7 on page 700-7.
5. * Provide the basis for the estimate of concrete in Item 8 on page 700-7 and clearly
indicate on the plans where it is to be used. Invoices requesting reimbursement for
concrete must include as -built drawings indicating where the concrete was used to
be considered eligible for funding.
6. * A summary of the rip -rap shown on the plans yields only the 200 square yards shown in
Item 9 (a) on page 700-7. Show on the plans where the rip rap mentioned in Items 9 (b)
and 9 © on page 700-8 can be found.
7. * Provide the basis for the estimate of stone stabilization in Item 11 on page 700-8 and
clearly indicate on the plans where it is to be used. Invoices requesting reimbursement
for stone stabilization must include as -built drawings indicating where the stone was
used to be considered eligible for funding.

9. * Advise why Items 4, 5, and 9 are missing from the bid summary given at the top of page
700-10.
10. * The Liquidated Damages Section on page 700-11 suggests that such costs will be
deducted from the contract amount. Deducting from the contract price reduces the
eligible loan amount. We encourage an exchange of checks at the end of the'job. Advise
why the owner is willing to give up a portion of the eligible loan amount in lieu of
documenting the paper trail through an exchange of checks at the end of the job.
Section 1000
Pages 1000-3 and 1000-4 are misnumbered as 1000-1 and 1000-2.
2. * The Notice of Award should be signed by the Authorized Representative of the Owner,

not the Engineer.
3. * The Notice to Proceed should be signed by the Authorized Representative of the Owner,

Prepared By: Michael Parker
Subject: City of Salisbury
Engineering Amendment
Project No. CS370408-08
Rowan County
Per your request, a review has been conducted by the
staff of this Office of the subject engineering amendment
prepared for the City of Salisbury.
The amendment discusses proposed construction activities
at both of the City's WWTPs. The proposed construction
activities can be broken down as follows:
Town Creek WWTP
Replacement of the remaining section of the original Town
Creek Interceptor and associated interceptors in the upper
reaches of the creek basin with new pipe having watertight
joints. This activity will complete the replacement of the
entire interceptor, will reduce excessive I/I, eliminate any
exfiltration that may be occurring, and eliminate manhole
overflows throughout this section of pipe.
Grant Creek
The City proposes to construct a new maintenance building and
parking lot, expand the existing laboratory, and construct a
new gravity sludge thickener. These facilities were
originally contained in a previous revision of the 201
facilities plan (March 1996), however, they were not
constructed as part of that project.
Based on our review we have no additional comments to
offer.
If you have any questions regarding this matter,, please
advise.

Review Comments
Plans Review
General
1. Provide an updated project schedule and cost estimate for this phase as well as for the
force main portion of the project.
2. A current signed Corps permit must be provided before this office can approve the plans
and specifications.
3. The Land Quality approval letter was not included in the responses to our comments.
Note that this office will require a copy of the final,(revised) letter prior to our approval
of the plans and specifications.
4. Provide a detail in the plans for how parking lots are to be repaired.
Sheet 1
1. The fact that sewer service connections are to be included in the price of pipe needs to be
included in note 22 on the plans and specifications.
2. Note number 28 identifies stations 63+75, 94+25, and 94+75 which do not show up on
the review copy of the plans.
3. Confirm an anti -seepage collar is required for station 182+00. It does not appear to be in
a wet area while station 179+00 to 179+75 does appear to be in a wet area.
Sheet 2
Provide the easement map for the Bowen property showing the proximity of the
interceptor to Town Creek.
2. Provide plan details for the gate connecting the two 6-foot chain length fences.
3. Confirm 42 inch sanitary sewer can reasonably be constructed at station 150+66 without
damage to the adjacent structure. Clearly indicate in the plans and specifications how the
contractor is to construct the line with limited easement and clearly show the easement in
this location.
4. Since Salisbury can clean 600 feet of 42 inch diameter sanitary sewer, please eliminate

the manhole at station 157+75.43 or provide the engineering basis for why it should
remain.
5. Advise why the 42 inch diameter line could not be offset by 25 feet to the south to reduce
tree clearing between station 151+89.67 and station 161+00.00 and to reduce conflict
with the housing project at station 160+50.
6. The pipe slope into the manhole at station 161+00.00 on sheet 2 has been changed to
0.052%, but this still conflicts with the pipe slope out of the manhole at station
163+26.97 on sheet 3 which is given as 0.50%.
7. Confirm the placement of the manhole in Lafayette Street, and the placement of four
manholes in Arlington Street between stations 184+44.36 and 191+63.70, will not
infringe on NCDOT's requirements regarding placement of manholes.
8. Clearly identify any necessary erosion control measures in the vicinity of station
146+23.18.
Sheets 3 and 4
1. Plans should provide details of anti -seepage collars and show specifically where they
must be installed.
Sheet 5
1. Indicate in the plans and specifications where trailer park residents will be allowed to
park their cars since only walking access will be provided to their homes.
Sheet 6
1. The 8-inch collection line to serve the proposed buildings is not eligible for funding.
Sheets 10 and 11
1. Show on the plans how the inside drop is to be fastened to the manhole wall.
Sheet 12
1. Advise if 10 foot diameter, inside drop manholes are applicable for this project. If so,
include a detail and show on the plans how the inside drop is to be fastened to the
manhole wall.

Specifications Review
General
1. Clarify how street repair is to be paid for in the contract documents.
2. All the easements for the project must be acquired prior to approval of the plans and
specifications.
3. Confirm how the conditions of the original FNSI covering this project, including any
required mitigative measures, have been incorporated into the plans and specifications.
4. It was stated that an SRF application has been completed and submitted to this office.
This application -has not been received.
5. The actual amount of 42 inch sewer pipe still varies at different places in the
specifications. The summary on page 100-1 states 4,736 feet, the bid summary on page
700-1 states 4,736 feet, and the total of the bid quantities is 4,837 feet. These need to
agree and should also match a take -off from the. plan sheets.
Information for Bidders Section
1. Typically we recommend that unresolvable claims be settled in a NC Court of Law, in
lieu of arbitration. If this is your intention, please advise the contractors in the
information for bidders.
Section 400
1. The contractor will be working within the 100 year floodplain and should be required to
carry flood protection insurance.
2. The contractor should not be required to insure the owner or engineer (page 400-14).
These costs are not eligible. If they remain in the contract they must be broken out in the
bids.
Section 500
1. Remove Section 40.0 on page 500-24 related to Patent Rights since it does not apply to
this project.
2. Deducting from the contract price reduces the eligible loan amount. We encourage an
exchange of checks at the end of the job. Examples of where this needs to be changed are
on -pages 500-24 and 500-34.

Section 700
Provide the basis for fiberglass and concrete pipe alternates (pages 700-7 and 700-8).
Participation will be limited to the least cost.
2. Confirm NCDOT has approved details for tunneling under East Innes Street (page 700-
12). Advise our office under what conditions tunneling would be used in lieu of boring
and jacking.
3. Liquidated damages should not be used to decrease the contract amount at the end of the
job (page 700-19) because it reduces the amount of the eligible project cost. This office
recommends an exchange of checks at the end of the project. The owner's check covers
the retainage, and the contractor's check covers liquidated damages.
Section 1800
The contractor should be required to have insurance for himself and the subcontractors but not for the engineer or owner (page 1800-2). Insurance of the owner and engineer is
not eligible and must be removed from the contract or broken out in the bids.
Page 1C43-3
As currently specified, change orders for sheeting and for sheeting left in place will not
be eligible for funding.
2. Paragraph 1 C43 AC implies that if the engineer gives direction to leave sheeting in place
then the contractor will be paid for that sheeting left in place. The bids should include a
unit price and realistic estimated quantity for sheeting left in place. Reimbursement for
this item will only be eligible when supported with drawings showing where sheeting
remains in place.
3. The last sentence of paragraph C implies the contractor would not be due an increase for
changed conditions beyond his control. The contractor does not know how to plan for
this in his bid and must inflate other costs just to cover the potential of additional costs.
Such changes should be based on the unit prices in the bid.
Page 1C44-1
1. We expect the desired degree of compaction to be carried to the top of the trench and not
just to eighteen inches above the pipe (paragraph Q.
Pages 1051-1

1051-1. Confirm if there are no other acceptable manufacturers or identify at least one

more in the specifications.
Page 1 C52-3
1. There are only two manufacturers of the boot connectors specified on page 1 C52-3. .
Confirm if there are no other acceptable manufacturers or identify at least one more in the
specifications.
Section 02200
Section 02200-11, Paragraph 1.12 appears to conflict with Section 1 C44-1 for all pipeline
work. Please advise where page 02200-11 applies. If it does not apply it should be
removed from the specifications.
