hazards which may be encountered in the course of construction.

designated at the time and the date set in the "Advertisement".
Bidders or their authorized agents are invited to be present.
11. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS
More than one proposal for the same project from an individual
firm1 partnership or corporation under the same or different
names will not be considered. Evidence that any bidder is inter-

jection of all such proposals. Collusion between the bidders
will be considered sufficient cause for the rejection of all bids

ary for the satisfactory completion of the work may be deemed

15. FAILURE TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS
Failure to furnish the contract bond in a sum equal to the
amount of the award, or to execute the contract within ten
(10) days, as specified, shall be just cause for the annulment
of the award, and it shall be understood by the bidder that
in the event of the annulment of the award, the amount of
the guaranty deposited with the proposal shall be retained by
the Owner, not as a pepalty, but as Liquidated Damages.

Granular Bedding------------------ Placed below the pipe midpoint,
prior to pipe installation, to
facilitate proper shaping and ac-
hieve uniform pipe support.
Granular Encasement------------ Placed below an elevation one
foot above the top of pipe, af-
ter pipe installation, for protec-
tion of the pipe and to assure
proper filling of voids or tho-
rough consolidation of backfill.
Granular Backfill---------------- Placed below the surface base
course, if any, as the second
stage of backfill, to minimize

Excavation and Preparation of Trench
B 1 Operational limitations and Requirements
r-
Excavating operations shall proceed only so far in advance
of pipe laying as will satisfy the needs for coordination of work
and permit advance verification of unobstructed line and grade
as planned. Where interference with existing structures is possi-
ble or in ani way indicated, and where necessary to establish
elevation or direction for connections to inplace structures, the
excavating shall be done at those locations in advance of the
main operation so actual conditions will be exposed in suffi-
cienttime to make adjustments without resorting to extra work
or unnecessary delay.
.... '

All installations shall be accomplished by open trench con-
struction except for short tunnel sections approved by the Engi-
neer and with the exception that boring and jacking or tunnel

damages to the work under contract or to adjacent structures
or property caused by settlement, water or earth pressures, slides,
cave-ins, or other causes'due to failure or lack of sheeting, shor-
ing, or bracing or through negligence or fault of the Contractor
in any manner shall be repaired by the Contractor at his expense
and without delay.
Where conditions warrant extreme care, ~ontract may reo
quire special precautions to protect life or property, or the
Engineer may order the installa.tion of sheet piling of the inter-
locking type or direct that other safety measures be taken as he
deems necessary, Failure of the Engineer to order correction of
improper or inadequate sheeting, shoring, or bracing shall not
relieve the Contractor of his responsibilities for protection of
life, property, and the work.
-~
(

".,,~
r""
The, Contractor shall assume full responsibility for proper
and adequate placement of sheeting, shoring, and bracing, wher-
ever and to such depths that soil stability may dictate the need
for support to prevent displacement. Bracing shall be so arranged
as to. provide ample working space and so as not to place stress
or strain on the inplace structures to any extent that. may cause
damage.
-"
?-'
-..
Sheeting, shoring and bracing materials shall be removed
only when and in such manner as will assure adequate protec-
tionof the inplace structures and prevent displacement of sup-
ported grounds. Sheeting and bracing shall be left in place only
as required by the Contract or ordered by the Engineer. Other-
wise, sheeting and bracmg may be removed as the backfilling
reaches the level of respective support. Wherever sheeting and
bracing is left in place, the upper portions shall be cut and re-
moved to an elevation of three feet or more below the estab-
lished surface grade as the Engineer may direct.
.....-...
y-
All costs of furnishing, placing, and removing sheeting,
shoring, and bracing materials, including the value of materials
left in place as required by the Contract, shall be included in
the prices bid for pipe installation and will not be compensated
for separately, When any sheeting, shoring, or bracing materials
are left in place by written order of the Engineer, in the absence
of specific requirements of the Contract to do so, payment will
be made for those materials as an Extra Work item, including
waste material resulting from upper cut-off requirements.

Before being lowered into laying position, the Contractor
'shall make a thorough visual inspection of each pipe section and
appurtenant units to detect damage or unsound conditions that
may need corrective action or be cause for rejection. Inspection
procedure shall be as approved by the Engineer, with special
methods being required as he deems necessary to check out sus-
pected defects more definitely. The Contractor shall inform the
Engineer of any defects discovered and the Engineer will pres-
cribe the required corrective actions or order rejection.

Before lowering and while suspended, the pipe and fittings
shall be inspected to detect any cracks. Any defective, damaged,
or unsound material shall be rejected.
The pipe shall be supported for the bottom 90 degrees and
throughout its length as shown on the plans. Bell holes shall
be dug adequate to make the joint, but no larger than neces-
sary, so that maximum support on undisturbed ground will
be provided for the pipe. The remainder of the pipe shall be
surrounded to a height of at least 18" above its top by granular
materials or other suitable material as determined by the
Engineer, shovel placed and hand tamped, to fill completely
all spaces under and adjacent to the pipe.
All foreign matter or dirt shall be removed from the inside
of the pipe and fittings before it is lowered into its position in
the trench, and it shall be kept clean by approved means during
and after laying.
When connecting to existing stubs, the Contractor shall
take every precaution necessary to prevent dirt or debris from
entering the existing lines. All necessary work to make the
connection shall be done at no additional compensation,
except where noted otherwise.

C3 Aligning and Fitting of Pipe
The cutting pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure
pieces shall be done in a neat and workmanlike manner with-
out damage to the pipe and so as to leave a smoothsquare-cut
end. Cast iron pipe shall be cut with approved mechanical cut-
ters. The electric-arc cutting method, using carbon or steel rod,
will be approved for use on the larger size pipe where mechani-
cal cutters are not available. Flame cutting will not be allowed
under any conditions. All rough edges shall be removed from
the cut ends of pipe and, where rubber gasket joints are used,
the outer edge shall be rounded or beveled by grinding or filing
to produce a smooth fit.
Wherever it is necessary to deflect the pipe from a straight
line either in the vertical or horizontal plane, to avoid obstruc-
'tions, plumb stems, or produce a long radius curve when per-
mitted, the amount of deflection allowed at each joint shall not
exceed the allowable limits for maintaining satisfactory joint

26213 CONSTRUCTION REQU IREMENTS
A General Provisions
---
Al Establishing Line and Grade
The primary line and grade will be established by the' Engi-
neer. For trench installation, line and grade stakes will be set
parallel to the proposed pipeline at an appropriate offset there-
from as will best serve the Contractor's operations wherever
practical. For tunnel installation, line and grade stakes will be
set directly above the proposed pipeline setting. Grade and line
stakes will be set at 25-foot intervals along the pipeline; at each
change in line or grade; and as needed for pipeline appurtenances
and service lines.
~,
The Contractor shall arrange hi~ operations to avoid unnec-
essary interference with the establishment of the primary line
and grade stakes; and shall render whate"er a$sistance may be re-
quired by the Engineer in accomplishing the staking. The Con-
tractor shall. be responsible for preservation of the primary stakes
and shall 'bear. the full cost of any restaking necessitated by his
negl igence.
The Contractor shall be solely responsible for the correct
51
r-
2621.3
he shall cease his operations at the site and take such preca.u-
tions as may be necessary to protect the inplace structures until
a decision is made as to how the conflict will be resolved.
Without specific authorization from the Engineer) no essen-
tial utility service shall be disrupted, nor shall any change be
made in either the existing structures or the planned installations
to overcome the interference. Alterations in existing facilities
will be allowed only to the extent that service will not be cur-
tailed unavoidably and then only when the encroachment or
relocation will satisfy all applicable regulations and conditions.
Wherever alterations are required as a result of unforeseen
underground interferences not due to any fault or negligence of
the Contractor, the Engineer will issue a written order covering
any additional or extra work involved and specifying the revised
, basis of payment, if any. Any alterations ,made strictly for the
convenience of the Contractor shall be subject to prior approval
and shall be at the Contractor's expense.
No extra compensation will be allowed for delays caused by
the interference of underground structures.
A4 Removal of Surface Improvements
Removal of surface improvements in connection with trench
excavation shall be limited to actual needs for installation of the
pipeline and appurtenances, based on the allowable trench widths
and any other controls imposed in connection with the work.
Removal operations shall be coordinated effectively with the
,xcavation and installation operations as will cause the least
practical disruption of traffic or inconvenience to the public.
Removal debris sh~1I not be deposited at IQcations that will block
access to fire hydrants, private driveways, or other essential ser-
vice areas. Removal and final d isposalof debris shall be accorn-
plishe~ as a single operation wherever possible and, in 'any event,
the debr.is shall be removed fro,m the site before starting the ex-
cavating operations. .
Removal of ,concrete or bItuminous structures shall be by
methods producing clean-cut breakage to prescored lines as will
preserve the remaining structure without damage. Removal
equipment shall not be operated in a manner that will cause
damage to the remaining structure or adjoining property. Where
not removed to an existing joint, concrete structures shall be

through tunnel excavations will be allowed only where the sur-
face structure can be properly supported and the backfill res-
tored to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The excavating operations shall be conducted so as to care-
fully expose all inplace underground structures without damage.
Wherever the excavation extends under or approaches so close to
an existing structure as to endanger it in any way, precautions and
protective measures shall be taken as necessary to preserve the
structure and provide temporary support. Hand methods of exca-
vating shall be utilized to probe for and expose such critical or
hazardous installations as gas pipe and power or telephone cables.
P"'O
The Engineer shall be notified of any need for blasting to re-

there shall be no blasting operations conducted until the Engi-
neer's approval has been secured. Blasting will be allowed only
when proper precautions are taken to protect life and property,
and then shall be restricted as the Engineer dircct~. The Con-
tractor shall assume full responsibility for any damages caused
by blasting, regardless of the requirements for notification and
approval. The Contractor shall secure any required permits for
blasting and shall conduct blasting operations in conformance
with all applicable state and local laws, regulations and ordi-
nances.

82 Classification and Disposition of Materials
~'-,
Excavated materials will be classified for payment only to
the extent that the removal of materials classified by the Engi-
neer as Rock will be paid for separately from other unclas~ified
materials, either as a separate Contract Item or as an Extra
Work. Item when no bid price is applicable. All other materials
encountered in the excavations, with the exception of items
classified for payment as structure removals, will be considered
as Unclassified Excavation. Unclassified materials shall include
muck, rubble,'wood debris, and boulder stone, masonry or con-
crete fragments less than one-half cubic yard in volume, together
with other miscellaneous mat ter that can be removed effectively
w'ith power operated excavators without resorting to drilling
and blasting.

Excavat ions shall be extended below the bottom of struc-
ture grade a~ necessary to accommodate any required Granular
Bedding material. When rock or unstable foundation materials
are encountered at the established grade, additional materials
shall be removed as specified or ordered by' t~e Engineer to pro-
duce an acceptable foundation. Unless otherwise indicated or
directed, rock shall be removed to an elevation at least six inches
below the bottom surface of the pipe barrel a~d below the low-
est projection of joint hubs. All excavations below grade shall
be to a minimum width equal to the outside pipe diameter plus
two feet. Rock shall be removed to such additional horizontal
dimensions as will provide a minimum clearance of six inches on
all sides of appurtenant structures such as valves, housings, ac-
cess structures, etc.

Where no other grade controls are indicated or established
for the pipeline, the excavating and foundation preparations
shall be such as to provide a rninimum cover over the top of
the pipe as specified. Trench widths shall allow for at least
six inches of clearance on each side of the joint hubs. The maxi-
mum allowable width of the trench at the top of pipe level shall
be the outside diameter of the pipe plus two feet, subject to the
considerations for alternate pipe loading set forth below. The
width of the trench at the ground surface shall be held to a mini-
mum to prevent unnecessary destruction of the surface struc-
tures.

The maximum allowable trench width at the level of the
top of pipe may be exceeded only by approval of the Engineer,
after his consideration of pipe strength and loading relationships.
Any alternate proposals made by the Contractor shall be in writ-
ing, giving the pertinent soil weight data and proposed pipe
strength alternate, at least seven days prior to the desired date
of decision. Approval of alternate pipe designs shall be with the
understanding that there will ble no extra compensation allowed
for any increase in material or c,onstruction costs.

BS Preparation and Maintenance of Foundations
,p;.
----
Foundation preparations shall be conducted as necessary to
produce a stable foundation and provide continuous and uniform
pipe bearing between bell holes. The initial excavating or back-
filling operations shall produce a subgrade level slightly above
finished grade as will permit hand shaping to finished grade by
trimming of high spots and without the need for filling of low
spots to grade. Final subgrade preparations shall be such as to
produce a finished grade at the centerline of the pipe that is
within 0.03 foot of a straight line between pipe joints and to
provide bell hole excavation at each joint as wiLl permit proper
joining of pipe and fittings.
~
"":
In excavations made below -grade to remove rock or un-
stable materials, the backfilling to grade shall be made with
available suitable materials unless placement of Granular Foun-
dation' or Bedding material is specified and provided for or is
ordered by the Engineer as an Extra Work item. Placement of
the backfill shall be in relatively uniform layers not exceeding
8 inches in loose thickness. Each layer of backfill shall be com-
pacted thoroughly, by means of approved mechanical compac-
tion equipment, as will produce uniform pipe support through-
out the full pipe length and facilitate proper shaping of the
pipe bed.
..-.
~
;...::..
Where the foundation soil is found t6 consist of materials
that the Engineer considers to be so unstable as to preclude re-
movaland replacement toa re:asonable depth to achieve solid
support, a suitable foundation shall be constructed as the Engi-
neer directs in the absence of special requirements therefor in
the Contract. The Contractor may be required to furnish and
drive piling and construct concrete or timber bearing supports
or other work as may be provided for in an Extra Work order.
,-...
-
. Care shall be taken during final subgrade shaping to prevent
any over-excavation. Should any low spots develop, they shall
only be filled with approved material, which shall have optimum
moisture content and be compacted thoroughly. The finished
subgrade shall be maintained free of water and shall not be
disturbed during pipe lowering operations except as necessary
to remove pipe slings. The discharge of trench dewatering
pumps shall be directed to natural drainage channels or storm
water drains.

Pipe laying Operations
"...
..-
Trench excavation and bedding preparations shall proceed a-
head of pipe placement as will permit proper laying and joining
of the units at the prescribed grade and alignment without un-
necessa,ry deviation or hindrance" Every reasonable precaution
shall be taken to assure correct placement of each unit, with
tight, full joint closure,. free of interior contamination.
-
,-.
At the time of pipe placement, the bedding conditions shall
be such as to provide uniform and continuous support for the
pipe between bell holes. Bell holes shall be excavated as nec.
essary to make the joint connections, but they shall be no lar~er
than would be adequate., No pipe material shall be laid in w~ter
nor when the trench or bedding conditions are otherwise unsuit.
able or improper. Unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer,
bell and spigot pipe shall be laid with the bell ends facing up-
grade and the laying shall start at the downgrade end and pro-
ceed upgrade.
"'-,
r-
,-....
When placement or handling precautions prove inadequate,
in the Engineer's opinion, the Contractor shall provide and in-
stall suitable plugs or caps effectively closing the open ends of
each pipe section before it is lowered into laying position, and
they shall remain so covered until removal is necessary for con-
nection of an adjoining unit.
.......
,...
As each length of bell and spigot pipe is placed in laying posi-
tion, the sp,igot end shall be centered in the bell and the pipe
forced home and brought to correct I ine and grade. The pipe
shall be secured in place with approved backfill material, which
Shall be thoroughly compacted around the pipe. The joint areas
shall remain exposed and precautions shall be taken to prevent
the soil from 'entering the joint space, until the jo~nt seal is ef-
fected. Backfill in the bell area shall be left loose.
-
, ...-.
r--
Connection of pipe to existing lines or previously constn~-ct.
ed manholes or catch basins shall be accomplished as shOwn in
the Plans or as otherwise approved by the Engineer. Where nec-
essary to make satisfactory closure or produce the required cur- ,
vature, grade or alignment deflections at joints shall not exceed
that which will assure tight joints and comply with any limita-
tions recommended by the pipe manufacturer.

Sanitary Sewer leakage Testing
"...
All sanitary sewer lines shall be substantially watertight
and shall be tested for excessive leakage upon completion and
before service connections are made. Each test section of the
sewer shall be subjected to exfiltration testing, either by hydro-
static. or air test method as described below and at the Contrac-
tot's option. The requirements set forth for maximum leakage
shall be met as a condition for ac:ceptance of the sewer section
represented by the test.

If the ground water level is greater than three feet above the
invert elevation of the upper manhole and the Engineer so ap-
proves, infiltration testing may be allowed in lieu of the exfil-
tration testing, in which case the allowable leakage shall be the
same as would be allowed for the Hydrostatic Test.
,...

All testing shall be performed by the Contractor at his ~x-
pense without any direct compensation being made therefor,
~nd he shall furnish all necessary equipment and materials, in-
cluding plugs and standpipes as required.

-
The sewer pipe section under test shall be clean at the time
of testing but the pipe may be wetted. Pneumatic ball~ shall
be used to plug the pipe ends at manholes. low pressure. air
shall be introduced into the plugged line until the internal air
p.ressure reaches 4.0 psi greater than the average back pressu~e.'
of any ground water pressure that may submerge the pipe. At
least two minutes shall be allowed for the air temperature to
stabilize before readings are taken and the timing started.
........

Clayey Glaclal Till
-
Underlying the topsoil at Test Holes lR through 3R, within
the lower southerly portion of the roadway study area, is a stratum
of clayey glacial till. This soil consists primarily of brown
sandy clay and clayey sand, but also includes upper layers of bro~~
and grey clayey silt and silty clay. The clayey glacial till has
a soft to tough consistency, with standard penetration test values
--
ranging from 3 to 11 blows per foot.
The California Bearing Ratio of this soil type was determinqd

to be 4.6\, which correlates to a stabiloeter R-value of 28.
Superior Sand Deposits
Underlying the clayey g~acial till at a depth of 9' below

~
present ground surface at Test Hole lR is a deposit of brown silty
fine to medium sand.
A standard penetration test value of 16

GROUND WATER CONDITIONS
,.....
No f~ee ground water was encountered within the terminal
depths of our borings during the relatively short period of
observation. Ponded surface water at an elevation of 935.5' was
observed just west of Borehole 2 on July 14, 1983
~
Ground water should not be a factor in the roadway design,
,....
construction or performance: However surface drainage must be
considered and controlled.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Wherever natural sand soils are exposed in the subgrade
-,
(>~,
approx. above e1ev.97S'), an R-va1ue of 60 may be used for the
,.....
pavement design. However the sand subgrade must be rolled and
compacted prior to placement of base course.
,..... In the majority of the roadway area, where clayey and
silty subgrade soils are exposed, an R-value of 2S)may be used
"....
for the pavement design~
In our opinion the existing fill in the are encompassing
boreholes 2R and 3R is-not adequate. It should be subcut to 3'
,.-
depth, aerated and/or moisture conditioned, re-laid in 6" to 8"
loose lifts, and compacted to achieve 95\ Maximum Modified Proctoi"
