to the Contractor on or before the 31st day after the date of
certificate of completion, the balance due Contractor under
the terms of this agreement, provided he has fully performed -'
his contractual obligations under the terms of this contract;

to other work resulting therefrom, which shall appear within
a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial
completion. The Owner or the Owner's Representative shall
give notice of observed defects with a reasonable promptness.

filing of claims.
(c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to
subcontractors or for materials or labor.

of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor shall be
C" in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within

submitted to arbitration at the request of either party to the
dispute. The parties may agree upon one arbitrator,

if the arbiters fail to select a third within ten (10) days,
he shall be chosen by the District Judge, 72nd Judicial
District of Texas. Each arbiter shall be a resident of the
City of Lubbock. Should the party demanding arbitration fail
to name an arbiter within ten (10) days of. the demand, his
right to arbitrate -shall lapse, and the decision of the
Owner's Representative shall be final and binding on him.
21
Should the other party fail to choose an arbiter within ten
(10) days, the Owner's Representative shall appoint such
arbiter. Should either party refuse or neglect to supply the
arbiters with any papers or information demanding in writing,
the arbiters are empowered by both parties to take Ex Parte
Proceedings.
The arbiters shall act with promptness. The decision of any
two shall be binding on both parties to the contract, unless
either or both parties shall appeal within ten (10) days from
date of the award by the arbiters, and it is hereby agreed
that each party shall have the right of appeal and all
proceedings shall be according to and governed by Arbitration
Statutes of Texas, being Article 224, et seq., Vernon's
Annotated Civil Statutes. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITERS UPON
ANY QUESTION SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS CONTRACT
SHALL BE A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO ANY RIGHT OF LEGAL ACTION.
The arbiters, if they deem the case demands it, are authorized
to award the party whose contention is sustained, such sums
as they deem proper for the time, expense and.trouble incident
to the appeal, and if the appeal was taken without reasonable
cause, they may award damages for any delay occasioned
thereby. The arbiters shall fix their own compensation,
unless otherwise provided by agreement, and shall assess the
costs and charges of the arbitration upon either or both
parties. The award of the arbiters must be made in writing
and shall not be open to objection on account of the form of
proceedings or award.
ABANDONMENT BY CONTRACTOR
In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to
resume' work within ten (10) days after written notification
from the Owner or the -Owner's Representative, or if the
Contractor fails to comply with the orders of the owner's
Representative, when such orders are consistent with this
contract, this Agreement, or the Specifications hereto
attached, then the Surety on the bond shall be notified in
writing and directed to complete the work and a copy of said
notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor
shall not remove from the work any machinery, equipment,
tools, materials, or supplies then on the job, but the same,
together with any material and equipment under the contract
for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the
Surety of the Contractor, or another contractor, in completion
of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental
or credit therefore (except when used in connection with Extra
Work where credit shall be allowed as provided for under
paragraph 24 of this contract); it being understood that the
22
r-
rl .
use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the
�,.. cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final
settlement.
F
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the
notice for completion hereinbef ore provided for within ten
(10) days after the service of such notice, then the Owner may
provide for completion of the work in either of the following
elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of
machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies as
said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and
charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment,
tools, materials, and supplies to said Contractor, and
the expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the
Owner out of such moneys as may be due:, or that may
thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under
and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such expense
is less than the sum which would have been payable under
this contract, if the same had been completed by said
Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall
pay the amount of such excess to the Owner; or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as
required by law, at least twice in a newspaper having a
general circulation in the County of location of the
work, may let the contract for the completion of the
work under substantially the same terms and conditions
which are provided in this contract. In case of any
increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as
compared to what would have been the cost under this
contract, such increase shall be charged to the
Contractor and the Surety shall be and remain bound
therefore. However, should the cost to complete any such
new contract prove to be less than that which would have
been the cost to complete the work under this contract,
the Contractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the
Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided in
paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the contract accounts,
certified to by Owner's Represent ative as being correct
shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his
Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the Owner as
the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by
said statement within 30 days after the date of certificate
of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to
23
r
complete the work is less than that which would have been the
cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the
Contractor under the terms of this contract, or when the
Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to
be due by them to the Owner, then all machinery, equipment,
tools, materials, or supplies left on the site ofthe work
shall be. turned over to the Contractor and/or his Surety.
Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract
price, and the Contractor and/or his Surety, fail to pay the _
amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove,
and there remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials,
or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together
with an itemized list of such equipment and materials shall
be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the respective
addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that
actual written notice given in any manner will satisfy this _
condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice,
such property shall be held at the risk of the Contractor and
`his Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise
ordinary care to protect such property. After fifteen (15)
days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such
machinery, equipment, -tools, materials, or supplies and apply
the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the
Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either
public or private sale, with or without notice, as the Owner
may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, _
tools, materials, or supplies which remain on the *jobsite and
belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to
their proper owners.
51. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this
contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said terms
within ten (10) days after written notification by the
Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly abandon
the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and
equipment, and all materials on the ground that have not been
included in payments to the Contractor and have not been
incorporated into the work. Thereupon, the owner's
Representative shall make an estimate of the total amount
earned by the Contractor, which estimate shall include the
value of all work actually completed by said Contractor at
the priced stated in the attached proposal, the value of all
partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and
the amount of all Extra Work performed at the priced agreed _
upon, or provided for by term of this contract, and a
reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the
Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which
cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then
make a final statement of the balance due to the Contractor
r-.
24
F i
by deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by
the Owner and all other sums that may be retained by the Owner
under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to
the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty
( 3 0 ) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor
the balance shown by said final statement as due the
Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
52. BONDS
�^ The successful bidder shall be required to furnish a
l performance bond and payment bond in accordance with Article
5160, Vernon's Annotated Civil Statutes in the amount of 100%
of the total contract price, in the event said contract price
exceed $25,000.00. If the contract price does not exceed
$25,000.00, the statutory bonds will not be required. All
bonds, if required, shall be submitted on forms supplied by
... the Owner, and executed by an approved Surety Company
authorized to do business in the State of Texas. And it is
further agreed that this contract shall not be in effect until
such bonds are so furnished.
53. SPECIAL CONDITIONS

of the contract documents and said special conditions conflict
with any of the general conditions contained in this contract,
then in such event the special conditions shall control.
54. LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES
Unless otherwise specified herein, all loss or damage to the
contractor arising out of the nature of the work to be done,
or from the action of the elements, or from any unforeseen
circumstance and prosecution of the same, or from unusual
obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the
prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and borne by the
Contractor at his own cost and expense.
55. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor is, and shall remain, an independent contractor
with full, complete and exclusive power and authority to
direct, supervise, and control his own employees and to
determine the method of the performance of the work covered
hereby. The fact that the Owner or Owner's Representative
shall have the right to observe Contractor's work during his
performance and to carry out the other prerogatives which are
expressly reserved to and vested in the Owner or Owner's
Representative hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at
any time change or effect the status of Contractor as an
25
F
independent contractor with respect to either the Owner or
Owner's Representative or to the Contractor's own employees
or to any other person, firm, or corporation.
56. CLEANING UP
The Contractor shall at all times keep the premises free from
accumulation of debris caused by the work, and at the
completion of the work he shall remove all such debris and also his tools, scaffolding, and surplus materials and shall
leave the workroom clean or its equivalent. The work shall
be left in good order and condition. In case of dispute Owner
may remove the debris and charge the cost to the Contractor.

Act of 1937 or under the Housing Act of 1949 in the
Construction or development of the project), will be
paid unconditionally and not less often than once a
week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are
permitted by regulations issued by the Secretary of
Labor under the Copeland Act (29CFR Part 3)), the full
amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash
equivalents thereof) due at time of payment computed at
rates not less than those contained in the wage
determination of the Secretary of Labor which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of
any contractual relationship which may be alleged to
exist between the contractor and such laborers and
mechanics. Contributions made or costs reasonably
anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under Section
1 (b) (2) of the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers
or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers
b.
or mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph
(a) (1) (iv) of 29 CFR 5.5; also, regular contributions
made or costs incurred for more than a weekly period.
Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the
appropriate wage rate and fringe benefits on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually
performed, without regard to skill, except as provided
in 29 CFR 5.5 (a) (4). Laborers or mechanics
performing work in more than one classification may be
compensated at the rate specified for each
classification for the time actually worked therein:
provided, that the employer's payroll record accurately
set forth the time spent in each classification.in
which work is performed. The wage determination
(including any additional classification and wage rates
conformed under paragraph (a) (1) (ii) of 29 CFR 5.5
and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH-1321) shall be posted at
all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at
the site of the work in a prominent and accessible
place where it can be easily seen by the workers.
(1) The contracting officer shall require that any
class of laborers or mechanics which is not listed
in the wage determination and which is to be
employed under the contract shall be classified in
conformance with the wage determination. The
contracting officer shall approve an additional
classification and wage rate and fringe benefits
therefore only when the following criteria have
been met:
(a) The work to be performed by the
classification requested is not performed by
a classification in the wage determination;
and
(b) The classification is utilized in the area by
the construction industry; and
(c) The proposed wage rate, including any bona
fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable
relationship to the wage rates contained in
the wage determination.
(2) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics
to be employed in the classification (if known),
,or their representatives, and the contracting
officer agree on the classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe
benefits where appropriate), a report of the
action taken shall be sent by the contracting
officer to the administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, Employment Standards Administration,
U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210.
two
The Administrator, or an authorized
representative, will approve, modify, or
! disapprove every additional classification action
►. within 30 days of receipt and so advise the
contracting officer or will notify the contracting
officer within the 30-day period that additional
time is necessary.
(3) In the event the contractor, the laborers or
mechanics to be employed in the classification or
their representatives, and the contracting officer
do not agree on the proposed -classification and
wage rate (including the amount designated for
fringe benefits, where appropriate), the
contracting officer shall refer the questions
including the views of all interested parties and
the recommendation -of the contracting officer to
the Administrator for determination. The
Administrator, or an authorized representative,
will issue a determination within 30 days of
receipt and so advise the contracting officer or
will notify the contracting officer within the 30-
day period that additional time is necessary.
(4) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where
appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs
(a) (1) (b) or (c) of 29 CFR 5.5, shall be paid to
all workers performing work in the classification
under this contract from the first day on which
work is performed in the classification.
c. Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the
contract for a class of laborers or mechanics includes
a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly
rate, the contractor shall either pay the benefit as
stated in the wage determination or shall pay another
bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash equivalent
thereof.
d. If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee
or other third person, the contractor may consider as
part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount
of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing bona
fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, provided,
that the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written
request of the contractor, that The Secretary of Labor
may require the contractor to set aside in a separate
account assets for the meeting of obligations under the
plan or program.
2. Withholding
DOT shall upon its own action or upon written request of an
authorized representative of the Department of Labor
withhold or cause to be withheld from the contractor under
this contract or any other Federal contract with the same
prime contractor, or any other Federally -assisted contract --
subject to Davis -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which
is held by the same prime contractor, so much of the accrued

4. APPRENTICES AND TRAINEES
a. Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at
less than the predetermined rate for the work they
performed when they are employed pursuant to and
individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship
program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor,
Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training, or with a state
apprenticeship agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a
person is employed in his or her first 90 days of
probationary employment as an apprentice in such an
apprenticeship program, who is not individually
registered in the program, but who has been certified
by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a state
apprenticeship agency (where appropriate) to be
eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the
job site in any craft classification shall not be �-
greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as
to the _entire work force under the registered program.
Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage
rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as
stated above, shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate,on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any apprentice performing work on the job
site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paidnotless than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. Where a contractor is
performing construction on a project in a locality
r
other than that in which its program is registered, the
..-
ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the
journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's
or subcontractor's registered program shall be
observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less
r'
than the rates specified in the registered program for
the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a
percentage of the journeyman's hourly rate specified in
the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall
be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the
provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the
apprenticeship program does not specify -fringe
benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of
fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for
the'applicable classification. If the Administrator
determines that a different practice prevails for the
applicable apprentice classification, fringe benefits
shall be paid in accordance with that determination.
In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training,
r
or a state apprenticeship agency recognized by the
`
Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship
program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to
rr
utilize apprentices at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an
acceptable program is approved.
b. Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR Section 5.16,
trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they
r
are employed pursuant to and individually registered in
a program which has received prior approval, evidenced
by formal certification by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The
ratio of trainees to journeymen on the site shall not
be greater than permitted under the plan approved by
the Employment and Training Administration. Every
r-
trainee must be paid at not less than the rate
specified in the approved program for the trainee's
level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the
journeyman's hourly rate specified in the applicable
wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe
benefits in accordance with the provisions of the
trainee program. If the trainee program does not
r
mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the
full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage
`
determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and
hour Division determines that there is an
apprenticeship program associated with the
corresponding journeyman's wage rate on the wage
determination for the classification of work actually
performed. In addition any trainee performing work on
the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the
registered program shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
work actually performed. In the event the Employment
.and Training Administration withdraws approval of a
training program, the contractor will no longer be
permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the
applicable predetermined rate for the work performed
-until an acceptable program is approved.

documented in the file with the reason therefore, along
with whatever additional.actions the contractor may
have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the director
when the union or unions with which the contractor has

affirmative action obligations set forth in paragraphs (7)
(a) through (p). The efforts of a contractor association,
joint contractor -union, contractor community, or other r-
similar group of which the contractor is a member and
participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more
of its obligations under (7) (a) through (p) of these
specifications, provided that the contractor actively"
participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that
the group has a positive impact on the employment of
minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the �.
concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the
contractor's minority and female workforce participation,
makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and
timetables, and can provide access to documentation which
demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of
the contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the
contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an -�
obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's
noncompliance.
9. A single goal for minorities and separate single goal for "
women have been established. The contractor, however, is
required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take
affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and «-
female, and all women, both minority and non -minority.
Consequently, the contractor may be in violation of the
Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a
substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the
contractor has achieved its goal for women generally, the
contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a

specification, shall implement specific affirmative action
steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed
in paragraph (7) of these specification, so as to achieve

•.!
n ral: All pipe and accessories shall be, -handled, laid, jointed,
tested for defects and leakage 4nd chlorinated in the manner herein
.�
specified. -
.;
Inspection: The pipe, fittings, valves, and accessories shall be
'
inspected upon delivery and during the progress of the work and any
material found to be defective will be rejected by the engineer and the
contractor shall remove and replace such defective material.
Responsibility for Materials: The Contractor shall be responsible for
all material furnished by him and he shall replace at his own expense
all such material that is found to be defective in manufacture or has
become damaged in handling after delivery.
Handling Pipe and Accessories: All pipe, fittings, valves, and other
accessories shall, unless otherwise directed, be unloaded at the ,point
of delivery, hauled to and distributed at the site of the work by the
:.:
Contractor. In loading and unloading they shall be lifted by hoists or
slid or rolled on skidways in such a manner as to avoid shock or damage
to the materials. Under no circumstances shall they be dropped. Pipe
handled on skids shall not be skidded or rolled against pipe already on
the ground.
In distributing the material at the site of the work, each piece shall
be unloaded opposite or near the place where it is to be laid in the
trench. Coated and wrapped pipe shall be handled in such manner that a
minimum amount of damage to the coating will result. Damaged coating
shall be repaired in a manner satisfactory to the Engineer.
Pipe shall be placed on the site of the work parallel with the trench
alignment and pipe with bell ends shall be placed with the bell ends
facing in the direction in which the work will proceed. The pipe,
fittings, and accessories shall be placed along the site in such a
manner as to be kept as free as possible from dirt, sand, mud, and other
foreign matter.
Pipe Laving:
Alignment and Grade: All pipe shall be laid to the alignment as
established on the ground by the Engineer. Where grade is being
maintained, as shown on the plans, the use of batter board or laser beam
will be required to fine grade the trench.
Whenever it is necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line either in
't
a 'vertical or horizontal plane to avoid obstructions, to plumb valves or
where vertical or horizontal curves are shown or permitted, the degree
600-14
F
A
r
of deflection recommended by the manufacturer of the particular kind of
pipe being laid and the degree of deflection shall be approved by the
Engineer.
Field cuts on concrete pipe shall be made at all points where, in the
opinion of the Engineer, it is necessary to preserve alignment, or proper
stationing for field connections. Proper care shall be taken to
preserve the interior and exterior linings. After the spiral winding
has been exposed, the winding shall be tack welded before being cut. In
cutting the spiral winding sufficient length shall be allowed to permit
a later winding of at least one-half turn on the bell or spigot ring.
Where steel cylinder pipe is cut, the work shall be done in such a way
as to allow a snug fit with the bell or spigot ring. A continuous weld
shall be run on both the inside and the outside of the ring. The free
end of the spiral shall then be wrapped around the ring and its end
shall be welded to the ring by running a weld along each side of the rod
for a distance of at least six inches. The entire cutting operation
shall be done under the direction of a representative of the pipe
manufacturer.
Whenever the deflection in a joint exceeds the maximum deflection
recommended by the manufacturer, the Engineer may require that the joint
be welded. Joints on pipe installed in encasement pipe shall be tack
welded or completely welded.
Manner of Handling Pioe and Accessories into Trench: After the trench
grade has been completed, all bell holes dug and the grade inspected,
the pipes and accessories may be placed in the trench. All pipe,
fittings, and valves shall be carefully lowered into the trench piece by
piece by means of derricks, ropes, or other suitable tools or equipment,
in such a manner as to prevent damage to'the material in any way. Under
no circumstance shall pipe or accessories be dropped or dumped into the
trench.
Cleaning and Inspection: Before lowering into the trench, the pipe
shall be again inspected for defects and cast iron pipe while'suspended
shall be lightly hammered to detect cracks. Any defective, damaged, or
unsound pipe or other incidental materials shall be rejected.
All foreign matter or dirt shall be removed from the inside of the pipe,
bells, spigots, or parts of the pipe used in forming the joint before
the pipe is lowered into the trench; and it shall be kept clean by
approved means during and after laying. The open end of the pipe in the
trench shall be plugged when pipe is not being laid.
Laving and Jointino Concrete Pressure Pipe: Just before making the
joint, the gasket and the inside surface of the bell shall be lubricated
with film of soft vegetable soap compound (flax soap) to facilitate
telescoping the joint. The rubber gasket shall be stretched uniformly
as it is placed in the spigot groove to insure a uniform volume of
rubber around the circumference of the groove.
Metal spacers of proper thickness shall be held on the inside shoulder
;» of the bell to provide the proper space between abutting ends of 27 inch
F
i;
J
600-15
and .larger pipe. The joint shall be telescoped by pulling directly
along the center line of the pipe so that the spigot enters squarely
into the bell. After the spigot has been telescoped into the bell, the -
bell end of the pipe being laid shall be moved in accordance with the
plans to secure proper grade and alignment. After the joint is in
place, a thin metal feeler gauge shall be used to check the position of
the rubber gasket around the circumference of the joint.
After the spigot has been telescoped into the bell, the joint checked _
and found satisfactory, a burlap wrapper shall be placed around the pipe
covering the joint. The burlap -type wrapper shall be hemmed.at each
edge to allow threading with a steel strap to securely fasten the
wrapper around the pipe by means of a stretcher and sealer. The.length --
shall be that required to encircle the pipe, leaving enough space
between the ends at the top to allow the cement mortar to -be poured. The
entire joint shall be poured with cement mortar and rodded or agitated
to eliminate voids and settlement. Any joint showing shrinkage or
excessive cracking shall be cleaned and remade. In hot weather,
additional measure may be required to obtain the best quality of joint,
such as additional wet burlap, curing membrane, or immediate careful and
well -controlled backfilling of the joint with damp earth.
Where size permits, the inside joint recess shall be filled from the
inside with mortar and finished off smooth with the inside of the pipe
by hand troweling after the pipe has been backfilled. The inside joint
recess on.pipe smaller in diameter shall be filled by buttering the -bell
end with mortar immediately prior to placing the pipe together. ,After
the joint is engaged, the interior of the smaller diameter pipe shall be
swabbed to smooth and clean the joints. -
At times when pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of pipe -.-
shall be closed by approved means, and no trench water shall be
permitted to enter the pipe.
Laving and Jointing Ductile Iron Pipe: The gasket seat in the socket,
the rubber gasket and the plain end of the pipe to be laid should be
wiped clean. After placing a length of pipe in the trench, the plain
end of the pipe should be then aligned and started into the socket so
that it is in contact with the gasket. Sufficient force then must be
exerted on the entering pipe so that the plain end is moved past the
gasket and makes contact with the base of the socket. The joint may be
deflected but never to exceed manufacturer's recommendations.
Unless otherwise directed, pipe shall be laid with bells facing in the -'
direction of laying; and for lines on appreciable slopes, bells shall,
at the discretion of the Engineer, face up grade.
Cutting of pipe for, inserting valves, fittings or closure pieces shall
be done in a neat workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or the
cement lining.
The jointing shall be completed for all pipe laid each day, in order not
to leave open joints in the trench over night. At the times when pipe
laying is not is progress, the open ends of pipe shall be closed by
600-16 `
approved means, and no trench water shall be permitted to enter the
pipe.
No pipe shall be laid in water, or when the trench Conditions or weather
is unsuitable for such work, except by permission of the Engineer.
x
Laving and Jointing PVC Pipe: The trench bottom should be constructed
to provide firm, stable, and uniform support for the full length of the
pipe. Bell holes should be provided at each joint to permit proper,
joint assembly and pipe support. Any part of the trench bottom
excavated below grade should be backfilled to grade and should be
compacted as required to provide firm pipe support. When an unstable
condition is encountered which will provide inadequate pipe support,
1
additional trench depth should be excavated to a depth not less than
'
three inches (3") below the pipe subgrade over the entire width of the
trench and shall be replaced with granular material conforming to
4 -
specifications for gravel for pipe embedment as stated herein.Such
material shall be thoroughly compacted over the entire trench width to
the grade established for the bottom of the pipe. Ledge rock,boulders,
r'
and large stones should be removed to provide four (4) inches of pipe
cushion.
Laving and Jointing Asbestos -Cement Pipe
The pipe shall be lowered in the trench with the couplings and rings on
the pipe and shall be placed with care on the previously prepared trench
bottom. The couplings shall be assembled as recommended by the
=_
manufacturer's recommendations.
Joints made between asbestos -cement pipe and cast iron pipe or fittings
shall be made by entering the special machine 3 3"pipe or machine
adapter into standard cast iron bell. The joint shall then be finished
in accordance with specifications herein for cast iron pipe fittings.
When it is necessary to cut pipe, it shall be done with a cutting device
Y P P 9
approved by the Engineer, in such a manner as to make a clean even cut.
No cutting with axe or chisel will be permitted.
Proper implements, tools, and equipment should be used for pl cement of
the pipe in the trench to prevent damage. Under no circumstances should
the pipe or accessories be dropped into the trench. All foreign matter
or dirt should be removed from the pipe interior. Pipe joint; should. be
assembled with care to the depth "recommended by the manufacturer.
600-3.6 Backfilling
All trenches and bell holes for all types of pipe, valves, and fittings
t
regardless of the location shall be backfilled with selected backfill
material free from rocks, boulders, or other unsuitable material. The
backfill material shall be thoroughly compacted with mechanical or hand
tamps to midpoint of the
pipe.
In existing paved streets the backfill above the midpoint of the pipe
t
shall be compacted with mechanical or hand tamps to 7-1/2 inches below
r 600-17
existing paving. In areas where paved streets are not existing the
backfill to a point twelve (12) inches above the pipe shall be placed by.
hand and shall be carefully selected material free of rocks, boulders,
clods, organic material, or other debris and lightly compacted prior to
placing remaining backfill. The balance of the backfill may be placed
in the ditch by hand or by mechanical equipment. No backfill material
shall be dropped directly on exposed pipe.
The backfill shall be consolidated by forcing water into the backfill at _
two (2) feet above the level of compacted material until the water level
rises to within eighteen (18);inches of the natural ground surface.
Care shall be taken not to flood the ditch or saturate the pipe
embedment. The water shall be forced into the backfill at location not more than ten (10) feet apart.
Maintenance of Backfilled Trench: After the trench has been backfilled �.
in the above method, the right-of-way shall be cleared of all rocks
larger than one and one-half (1-1/2) inches in diameter and leveled so
that the surface will have the same slope and appearance as it possessed
before the Contractor began work: All surplus material shall be loaded -`
and wasted at the Contractor's expense, at a location approved by the
Engineer.
The above shall include all excavated materials and all rocks or hard y
lumps which still remain after blading the area back to the original
ground grade. Furrows which tend to gather after blading shall be
c
removed, together with excavated material which has drifted or otherwise
covered private property.
As the construction work progresses, the contractor will be required*U .
keep the jetting of the backfill and clean up just as close behind the
pipe laying and backfilling as possible.
Following the completion of the backfilling the Contractor shall
maintain the street and trench surfaces, in a satisfactory manner until
final completion and acceptance of the work. The maintenance to include
blading from time to time as necessary, filling depressions caused by
settlement, sprinkling to settle dust, brooming or flushing at the
request of the Engineer and other work required to keep the streets and
roads in satisfactory condition for traffic. The Contractor shall �.
maintain and be responsible for all paving cuts until such time as City
Forces shall repair cuts with asphalt.

The approximate location of all known water mains, gas mains, storm
sewers, and sanitary sewers are shown on the plans. However, the
consumer service lines from these utilities are not known.
The Contractor will be required to locate all utility lines, including
customer service lines, far enough in advance of the trenching to make
proper provisions for protecting the lines and to allow for any
deviations that may be required from the established lines and grades.
The Contractor will not be allowed to disrupt the service on any utility
lines except customer service lines, which may be taken out of Service
for short period of time provided the Contractor obtains permission from
•
the Engineer and -;from the owner of the premises being served by the
utility.
L'
_
The Contractor shall immediately notify the proper utility company of
any damage to utility lines in order that service may be established
with the least possible delay. Any damage to existing lines and the
.
repair of customer lines which are authorized to be cut shall be at his
own expense, and as directed by an official representative of the
utility company involved.
All utility lines shall be properly supported to prevent settlement or
damage to the line both during and after construction. The cost of
supporting utility lines shall be included in the unit price bid per
foot of pipe. _ _
Any permanent relocation of existing utility lines shall be done by the

600-3.9 Removing Pavement
General: Wherever it is necessary to make cuts in existing pa ements,
sidewalks, driveways, or curbs and gutters, the cuts shall be made in
such a manner as to cause the least possible damage to adjoining
`
surfaces. _
Removal of Asphalt Paving: In removing asphalt pavement, the asphalt
surface shall be cut along each side of the trench ahead of the
trenching machine and the surfacing and base removed with the ;trenching
machine as the trench is excavated. The width of surface removed by the
Contractornot to exceed the outside diameter of the pipe plus
_is
thirty-six (36") inches. Any areas removed or damaged in excess of the
above widths will be charged against the Contractor's estimate at the
estimated cost per square foot as determined by paving engineer for
payment to the City for replacing the excessive width. No separate
payment will be made for cutting and removing asphalt paving and caliche
A

base, the cost of this work shall be included as a part of the cost of
the pipe line complete in place.
Removal of Concrete Paving:. Removal of any sidewalks, concrete
pavement,concrete base, concrete curbs and gutters (where allowed)
shall be made by cutting the concrete to a straight line on each side of
the trench and removing the concrete ahead of the trenching. Normally,
tunnelling will be required under curb and gutters. The width of
surface removed by the Contractor of concrete paving is not to exceed
the outside diameter of the pipe plus thirty-six (36") inches. Any
areas removed or damaged in excess of the above widths will be charged
against the Contractor's estimate at the estimated cost per square foot
as payment to the City for replacing the excessive width. Care shall be
taken to preserve any reinforcement encountered as well as possible.
Cutting of steel reinforcement will be allowed only at the -approximate

t-
Procedure: Each valved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with
water at the specified test pressure measured at the point of lowest
elevation. Pressure shall be applied and maintained by means of a pump
connected to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump, pipe
connection, and all necessary apparatus except meters shall be furnished
by the contractor, and the contractor shall furnish all necessary labor
for connecting the pump, meter, and gages. The water for filling and
-<
making tests on these mains may be obtained at a location designated by
the engineer. No charge will be made for water used for this purpose.
As the line is being filled and before applying the test pressure, all
air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, taps shall be
made, if necessary, at points of highest elevation. After the test, the
g
taps shall be tightly plugged.
During the time the test pressure is on the pipe, the line shall be
carefully checked at regular intervals for breaks or leaks. Any joints
showing appreciable leaks shall be repaired and any cracked or defective
._-
pipes or fittings shall be removed and replaced with sound material in
the manner provided and the test shall be repeated until satisfactory
results are obtained.
Leakage Test: After all defects have been satisfactorily repaired and
