mean and include all work that may be required by the Owner or Owner's Repre-
sentative to be done by the Contractor to accomplish any change, alteration or
addition to the work as shown on the plans and specifications or contract
documents and not covered by Contractor's proposal, except as provided under
Changes and Alterations herein.
It is agreed that the Contractor shall perform all extra work under the
direction of the Owner's Representative when presented with a written work
order signed by the Owner's Representative, subject, however, to the right of
the Contractor to require written confirmation of such extra work order by the
` Owner. It is also agreed that the compensation to be paid to the Contractor
for performing said extra work shall be determined by one or more of the
following methods:
Method (A) - By agreed unit prices; or
Method (B) - By agreed lump sum; or
Method (C) - If neither Method (A) or Method (B) be agreed upon before
the extra work is commenced, then the Contractor shall
be paid the actual field cost of the work, plus fifteen
(15%) per cent.'
In the event said extra work be performed and paid for under Method (C),
then the provisions of this paragraph shall apply and the "actual field cost"
is hereby defined to include the cost of all workmen, such as foremen, time-
keepers, mechanics and laborers, and materials, supplies, teams, trucks,
rentals on machinery and equipment, for the time actually- employed or used on
such extra work, plus actual transportation charges necessarily incurred,
together with'all expenses incurred directly on account of such extra work,
including Social Security, Old Age Benefits, Maintenance Bonds, Public Lia-
bility and Property Damage and Workmen's Compensation and all other insurances
as may be required by law or ordinances cr directed by the Owner or Owner's
Representative, or by them agreed to. O; --per's Representative may direct the
form in which accounts of the actual field cost shall be kept and records of
these accounts'shall be made available tc� the Owner's Representative. The
Owner's Representative may also specify in writing, before the work commences,
the method of doing the work and the type and kind of machinery and equipment
to be used; otherwise, these matters shall be determined by the Contractor.
Unless otherwise agreed upon, the prices for the use of machinery and equip-
ment shall be determined by using 100%, unless otherwise specified, of the
latest Schedule of Equipment and Ownership Expenses adopted by the '�sociated
General Contractors of America. Where practical, the terms and prices for the
use of machinery and equipment shall be incorporated in the written extra work
order. The fifteen per cent (15%) of the actual field cost to be paid to
Contractor shall cover and compensate him for his profit, overhead, general
superintendence, and field office expense, and all other elements of cost and
expense not embraced within the actual field cost as herein defined, save that
where the Contractor's Camp or Field Office must be ;maintained primarily on
account of such Extra Work, then the cost to maintain and operate the same
shall be included in the "actual field cost."
No claim for extra work of any kind will be allowed unless ordered in
writing by the Owner's Representative. In case any orders or instructions
appear to the.Contractor to involve extra work for which he should receive
compensation or an adjustment in the construction time, he shall make written
request to the Owner's Representative for a written order authorizing such
extra work. Should a difference of opinion arise as to what does or does not
constitute extra work, or as to the payment therefor, and the Owner's Repre-
sentative insists upon its performance, the Contractor shall proceed with the
work after making written request for written order and shall keep adequate
and accurate account of the actual field cost thereof, as provided under
Method (C). The Contractor will thereby preserve the right to submit the
matter of payment to arbitration as herein below provided.
25. DISCREPANCIES AND OMISSIONS
It is further agreed that itis the intent of this contract that all work
described in'the.proposal, the specifications, plans and other contract docu-
ments, is to be done for the prices quoted by the Contractor and that such
price shall include all appurtenances necessary to complete the work in ac-
cordance with the intent of these contract documents as interpreted by Owner's
Representative. If the Contractor finds any discrepancies or omissions in
these plans, specifications, or contract docufients, he should notify the
Owner's Representative and obtain a clarification before the bids are received,
and if no such request is received by the Owner's Representative prior to the
opening of bids, then it shall be considered that the Contractor fully under-
stands the work to be included and has provided sufficient sums in his pro-
posal to complete the work in accordance with these plans and specifications.
Itis further understood that any request for clarification must be submitted
no later than five days prior to the opening of.bids.
26. RIGHT OF OWNER TO MODIFY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
If at any time the methods or equipment,used by the Contractor are found
to be inadequate to secure the quality of work with the rate of progress re-
quired under this contract, the Owner or Owner's Representative may order the
Contractor in writing to increase their safety or improve their character and
efficiency and the Contractor shall comply with such order.

pleting the work.
It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between Contractor and the

sonable time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the
average climatic change and conditions and usual industrial conditions pre—

this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion
designated in the proposals; provided, also, that when the Owner is having
other work done, either by contract or by his own force, the Owner's Representa-

The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his proposal in full_recog-
nition of the time required for the completion of this project, taking into
consideration the average climatic range and industrial conditions prevailing
in this locality, and has considered the liquidated damage provisions of
paragraph 33 hereinabove set forth and that he shall not be entitled to, nor
will he request, an extension of time on this contract, except when his work

employees of the Owner or other contractors employed by the Owner, or by
changes ordered in the work, or by strike, walk -outs, acts of God or the
public enemy, fire or flood. The Contractor may apply in writing for an
extension of time, submitting therewith all written justification as may be
required by Owner's Representative for such an extension as requested by

from any cause during the progress of any part of the work embraced in this
contract except where the work is stopped by order of the Owner of Owner's
Representative for the Owner's convenience in which event such expense as in
the judgment of the Owner's Representative that is caused by such stoppage

No extra or customary measurements of any kind will be allowed, but the
actual measured or computed length, area, solid contents, number and weight
only shall be considered, unless otherwise specifically provided.
In the event this contract is let on a unit price basis, then Owner and
Contractor agree that this contract, including the specifications, plans and
other contract documents are intended to show clearly all work to be done and
material to be furnished hereunder. Where the estimated quantities are shown
for the various classes of work to be done and material to be furnished under
this contract., they are approximate and are to be used only as a basis for
estimating the probable cost of the work and for comparing their proposals
offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of
work to be done and the materials to be furnished under this contract may
differ somewhat from these estimates, and that where the basis for payment
under this contract is the unit price method, payment shall be for the actual
amount of work done and materials furnished on the project.
38. PROTECTION OF ADJOINING PROPERTY
The Contractor shall take proper means to protect the adjacent or adjoining
property or properties in any way encountered, which may be injured or seriously
affected by any process of construction to be undertaken under this agreement,
from any damage or injury by reason of said process of construction; and he
shall be liable for any and all claims for such damage on account of his
failure to fully protect all adjacent property. The Contractor agrees to
"r4 indemnify, save and hold harmless the Owner against any claim or claims for
damages due to any injury to any adjacent or adjoining property, arising or
growing out of the performance of this contract, but such indemnity shall npt

material and the completion of all work by the Contractor, and on the delivery
of all materials embraced in this contract in -full conformity with the specifi-
cations and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Conractor
the price set forth in the,proposal attached hereto, which has been made a
part of this contract, and the Contractor hereby agrees to receive such price
in full for furnishing all materials and all labor required for the aforesaid

the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this agreement,

Owner's Representative.
40. PAYMENTS
No payments made or certificates given shall be considered as conclusive
evidence of the performance of the contract, either wholly or in part, nor
shall any certificate or payment be considered as acceptance of defective
work. Contractor shall at any time requested during the progress of the work
furnish the Owner or Owner's Representative with a verifying certificate
showing the'Contractor's total outstanding indebtedness in connection with the
work. Before final payment is made, Contractor shall satisfy Ouner, by affidavit
or otherwise, that there are no outstanding liens against Owner's premises by
reason of any work under the contract. Acceptance by Contractor of final
payment of the contract price shall constitute a waiver of all claims against
Owner which have not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract.
41. PARTIAL PAYMENTS

Owner's Representative an application for partial payment. Owner's Representa-

ficate for partial payment showing as completely as -practical the total value
of the work done by the Contractor up to and including the last day of the
preceding month; said statement shall also include the value of all sound
materials delivered on site of the work that are to be fabricated into the

the current month the total amount of the Owner's Representative's Certificate
of Partial Payment, less 5% of the amount thereof, which 5 % shall be retained
until final payment, and further, less all previous payments and all further
sums that may be retained by Owner under the terms of this agreement. It is
understood, however, that in case the whole work be near to completion, and
this fact is certified to by Owner's Representative and some unexpected and
some unusual delay occurs due to no fault or negligence on the part of the
• Contractor, the Owner may upon written recommendation of Owner's Representative
pay reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage due Contractor.

pleted in accordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative

thereupon it shall be the duty of the Owner within.thirty-one (31) days to
issue a certificate of acceptance of the work to the Contractor.

sentative shall proceed to make final measurement and prepare a final state-
ment of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the

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; and said payment shall become due in any event upon said per-
formance by the Contractor. Neither the certificate of acceptance nor the
final payment, nor any provisions in the contract documents shall -relieve the
Contractor of the obligation for fulfillment of any warranty which,may be
required in the special conditions (if any) of this contract or required in
the specifications made a part of this contract.
44. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK
Contractor shall promptly remove from Owner's premises all materials con-
demned by the Owner's Representative on account of failure to conform to the
-contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and ContrLctor
shall at his own expense promptly replace such condemned materials with other
materials conforming to the requirements of the contract. Contractor shall
also bear the expense of restoring all work of other contractors damaged by
any such removal or replacement. If Contractor does not remove and replace
any such condemned work within a reasonable time after a written notice by the
Owner or the Owner's Representative, Owner may remove aind replace it at Con-
tractor's expense.
45. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT

contract shall relieve the Contractor of responsibility for faulty materials
or workmanship, and he shall remedy any defects due thereto and pay for any
damage 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 reasonable
promptness.

49. ABANDONTNIENT 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 ccpy
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 onthejob, but the same, together with any materials 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 use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to
complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for
completion hereinbefore provided for, within ten (10),days after 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 the Contractor, then said
Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater
than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the
same had been -completed by said Contractor, then theContractorand/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 Con-
tractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Con-
tractor 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,

LUBBOCK, TEXAS
INTRODUCTIOIN
This report contains the results of the soils
investigation recently made at the site for the pro-
posed City Water Tank, 74th. Street and Frankford
Avenue, Lubbock, Texas. The investigation was con-
ducted according to the instructions from Mr. Guy
Wilson, P.E. , City of Lubbock, Lubbock, Texas.
The investigation consisted of sub -surface exploration,
laboratory testing and engineering analysis leading to
recommendations for foundation' design for the pro-
posed construction.

EXPLORATION, SAMPLING AND FIELD TESTING
-"
Nine test holes were made, eight of them to
a depth of 25 feet and one to a depth of 35 feet, as
" .
shown in the Boring Location Plan ( Figure No. 1) .
The drilling was made using a Mobile B-40 H Drilling
Machine with compressed air in order to secure
reliable data on the natural moisture content of the
soil and on ground water, if any. In all holes
standard penetration tests were made at depths of 21,
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 feet respectively, as
applicable. The number of blo%�'s per foot of pen-
etration of the split spoon sampler (in 6 inch incre-
ments) as shown in the boring logs and in Figure No. 2.
The change in soil strata as can be observed
during drilling operations is carefully determined and
shown in the boring togs. All soil samples were kept
in moisture proof plastic bags to keep the in-situ
moisture content, identified to hole number and depth
_...
of the hole, and transported to the laboratory for
additional tests and evaluation. No water table was
observed in .any of the holes.
LABORATORY TESTING
All samples were visually classified and their
in-situ moisture contents were determined. Boil samples
which indicated maximum plasticity •characteristics were
selected for Atterberg limit tests. Also, the percent-
ages by weight passing sieve #200 were determined
for selected samples. The resets are presented in the
boring logs. All samples are classified according to the
Unified Soil Classification systerr..

DESCRIPTION OF THE SOIL
The top soil is a reddish brown low plastic
sandy silt with traces of clay. Below the top soil,
there are layers of sandy clay, some' with caliche
pockets and some without. The plasticity index of
these sandy clay layers vary between -,.6 to 13. These
plasticity index values are considered to be very low;
and indicate that the swelling of the soil due to
changes in its moisture content will be very small.
At deeper levels, the soil contains caliche rock and
in some instances, the soil becomes even nonplastic.
The standard penetration tests show that the relative
density of the soil varies between medium to high,
except in some pockets such as indicated in test holes
#2 and #6 at a depth of 15 feet. From the top layers
to 12 feet below, the standard penetration N -values
were increasing from an average of 22 to 45; while
further below, the N -values drop and give values in
a scattered pattern.
BEARING CAPACITY OF THE SOIL
.Since the top 12 feet of soil has relatively
high density, large tank structures with uniform
loads can be placed on the surface. The bearing
values of the soil for continuous type of footings
at a depth of .21 feet .is 3000 psf with a factor of
safety of two against ultimate bearing. These values
are for the existing soil moisture content, and the
bearing values of the soil will be reduced considerably,
if the soil gets flooded in a local region.
If drilled piers (caissons) are used, they
should be taken to a depth o--"10 feet below the
existing ground level. The allowable bearing value
of the soil at 10 feet depth is 6000 psf .
The selection of the foundation depends on
the type of 'water tank proposed. It is necessary
that the foundation design shall be done by a geo-
technical engineer, who has to consider the soil
strength, settlement etc. The recommended bearing
values .given in this report are for a maximum of
one inch settlement for footing or pier type of
foundation when subjected to the above recommended
bearing pressure.
If the water tank is placed on the ground
at least 16" of the top soil shall be removed and
replaced in 8" layers, each layer compacted to a
density such that its dry density is not less than 95%
of the maximum dry density obtained by the com-
paction test designated as AS7M D-1557 (Modified).
It is of utmost importance that each layer shall be
placed and compacted only after the preceding layer
has been compacted and tested for the required
density. If the level of the ground has to be
elevated by a soil fill, the fill has to be placed in 81'
layers and each layer be compacted as specified
above. The plasticity index of the transported soil
fill shall not exceed 12.
TE — = S; T -1N G � C.
The above recommendations are based on
the soil samples collected from the nine test holes
as directed. If, in any case, during excavation,
any weak spot or possible fill is located, please
call us.

In April the American Society for Testing and
Materials published extensive revisions to their soil
classification system. One result: the term lean clay
(CL) will be more commonly used to describe soils
which are predominantly clay. The updated system
is reproduced on the attached sheet. For more
information on the recent changes we suggest you
contact the chairman of ASTM Subcommittee
D18.07, Charles W. Britzius, PE, chairman of the
board of Soil Exploration Company and Twin City
Testing and Engineering Laboratory, Inc.

6.0 Design Requirements and Considerations
6.1 Loads Upon Supporting Structures
In establishing the maximum loads upon the.supporting�structures,
several::.Ioad-ing conditi�on•s-are, cons idered. Case A is -a modifi '
high wind loading condition -of 16 pounds on bare conductor at 60 F.
-- Case -II is a modified heavy NESC loading requirement which .includes
a•6.pound wind on + inch of radial ice at 15• F, -The wind loading
{ on the_pole shall be assumed to be 20 )_tis/ft2 with -no overload
factors being used on the pole. .The structures are to be capable
of -supporting.- the maximum: Goading comb i nat-i ons' for -the various
situations, whichever-is.greatest. Certain other conditions are
imposiWF h i.ch ,are to -'be .included - i n the: ties i gns and may e.equ i're - -
addi't bnal strength for certain components of the structures, =
such -:as differential -ice loads and broker conductor. _
The- les shall be designed to -withstand one broken conductor (that
condud=tor,attached farthest from the groundline - not the overhead -
ground wire).' -The arms and brackets in -'any -phase
designEd to withstand -a broken conductor:Position are to be
44
-
- -
-13-
a. Vertical Loads - The vertical loads on supporting structures and
foundations are to be their own weight plus the super -imposed
weight which they support, including all wires, ice coated as
specified. The radial thickness of ice in inches on wires for
modified heavy loading conditions is .50". The weight of ice is
to be based on 57 pounds per cubic foot. The weight of ice
upon supports can be ignored.
Vertical loads in excess of those specified above may be produced
on the structure during construction or maintenance. Construction
loads should be considered in establishing the final designs.
The arms are to be capable of sustaining.a minimum additional
vertical load of a 350 pound man and equipment in the ice loaded
condition.plus a single span of bare conductor a;d longitudinal
load of -6000 pounds without permanent deformation.
b. Transverse Loads - The transverse loads on supporting structures
and foundations should be determined from the following conditions:
NESC Loads'. -
Transverse loads for.the modified heavy loading
conditions which includes a
ice at 150 F. 6,pound.wind on l%2`inch of radial
Wind Loads - Wind speeds are to be based on conditions known to
_ exist in the.Lubbock-area and from.the National Summary of clima-
tological data for the Lubbock weather reporting station. .:The -
transverse loads are to be determined using constant wind pressure
as per section 4.1, item I.
c. Loads Due to Line Ar'igles ' Where a change in directi(Si of wires

i. the resultant -load equal to the..vector sum -of the transverse

d. Wind on Structure--Wi-thout Wires - All structures are .tv have
sufficient strength; before stringing', to withstand t%e-wind
z velocity-specified'under Wind Loading. The structure_shall be
'----- ,-- ;� -•--. capable.pf_saithstanding this -load from any direction._-

.2. Unbalanced Loadsr Wherelongitudinal loads can be created`
,.. _ by the difference in tensions in the wires in adjacent. spans
caused .by unequal vertical loading -or by unbalanced ice
loads in adjacent spans, the structures are to be capable
of supporting this longitudinal loading.
3• Stringing and Construction Loads - Proper allowance is to
be considered for longitudinal loads which may be'produced
on the structures by wire stringing operations and construction.
Techniques will be adopted which will minimize these effects.
4. Broken Conductor Considerations - In addition to the longi-
tudinal loads already given for the various cases, we require
that no permanent deflection will occur on structural com
ponents including the pole shafts in the case of a broken
conductor during conditions of low temperatures and/or wind
and ice.
A statement to the fact that the shaft, arms and other com-
ponents will perform as required, is required with the proposal.
To.assist the bidder -in determining the correct value of the
longi-tudinal -load ;=;-t�he=following informationis-provided:
a. Conductor tensions under the conditions most probable
for broken conductor`at the instant-immediatel'y prior to
the break: P ice, 6 pounds wind, --100 F Tension =
10,500 Abs.
- b;Y Span--leng-th'varaes but is approximately 600 feet. -.
c. Sag approximately 13 feet.
6.2. Simultaneous Application of Loads The ver.tital,. transverse, and
longitudinal loadings previously,specified-relate to loadings on the
.wires and :structures. .The._vertica);-transverse and longitudinal load
components on the supporting structures are to.be considered'as acting
simultaneously.
` 6.3Overload "Factors. - Inorder'to arrive at, the maximum design 'loads or
ultimate loads, -the loads: -specified are to-be..mult.iplied by.,an appro- _
_. :
priate...overload factor... The overload factors are shown.in the attached
Design _Load Section in -the .append i:x.
z 6.4 Deflections :.
- - -- - _--- ---a.- - General. -.Transmission.-structures constructed of stee] _poles_ re_-.
to be analyzed -for deflection to provide adequate strength
:requirements. The large deflections usually resulting from hors
zontal° loads cause addi'-tional stress "due to the ver_tice.l=loads
..bein -�a 1 ied. •in the":f.'inal deflected position.., -,This`adaitional _
-- stress.,is'to be ,.considered -in the simultaneousapplicat ion of
loads.*.-
-15-
b. Appearance - Deflections play an important part in the appearance
of a structure. At line angles, deadends, or where all vertical
conductors are on one side of a pole structure, the constant load
In one direction will cause the structure to bow and appear out of
plumb. Cambering of the poles so they will appear straight and
plumb will be required for these cases. In cases where structures
will be initially loaded eccentrically and deflections will cause
the pole to be out of plumb until final installations can be made,
the manufacturer.is to recommend the amount of rake necessary, .
under everyday conditions, to make the structure appear closer to
plumb until the final loads are installed. -_
6.5 Design Calculations and Data
The design calculations shall be the responsibility of the supplier
in accordance with the guidelines set forth above. A load tree and
basic design loads are included in the appendix to assist in these
calculations. The design calculations and data shall be submitted
to the purchaser with the quotations and shall include:
a. General dimensions of all structural components and anchor bolts.
b. The total actual moments, moment of inertia furnished, and the w/t

�,- effect of deflections on all vertical loads includingrthe ddead
he
�. load of the pole.
d. Structure and anchor bolt weight.

forces.
6.6 Final Design Calculations
Final design calculations shall be submitted to the purchaser before
fabrication commences, and shall include, in addition to the previously
mentioned items:
a. The total actual moments, moment of inertia, and stress at the
connections of the arms. .{

6.0 Design Requirements and Considerations -
6.1 Loads Upon Supporting Structures
In establishing the maximum loads upon the supporting structures,
• ..�_ •_ --several.,:load-ing conditi•on-s- are considered. Case -I is -a modified _
high wind loading condition -of 16 pounds on bare conductor at 600 F.'
Case 41 is'a modified heavy NESC loading requirement which .includes
'( a'6.pound wind on .inch of radial ice 'at 150 F. The wind loading
00011",
",on the pole shall be assumed .to be -20 1bs/ft2 with.no overload
or
facts being used on the pole. .The structures .are to be capable'
of--supporti ng .- the max imum, load i ng comb i nati ons" 'for -the var i ous - - - -
situations, whichever 1s.greatest. Certain other conditions are
imposect wh i.ch _.are - to -be 'i ncl uded • i n the;;$'es i gns and • may requ ire --
_ addit b al strength .for certain components of the structures, =�
suchas : differ_ential.,ice loads and broker conductor.
The--po.les shall be designed to -withstand one broken conductor (that
condue-tor.attached farthest from the g�' undline - not the overhead
grouni wi re) The arms and brackets i ri!�any -phase
position are to be '�•�
- designEd to withstand a broken conductor:
-13-
a. Vertical Loads - The vertical loads on supporting structures and
foundations are to be their own weight plus the super -imposed .
weight which they support, including all wires, ice coated as
specified. The radial thickness of ice in inches on wires for
modified heavy loading conditions is .50". The weight of ice is
to be based on 57 pounds per cubic foot. The weight of ice
upon supports can be ignored.
Vertical loads in excess of those specified above may be produced
on the structure during construction or maintenance. Construction
loads should be considered in establishing the final designs.
The arms are to be capable of sustaining a minimum additional
vertical load of a 350 pound man and equipment in the ice loaded
condition.plus a single span of bare conductor and longitudinal
load of '6000 pounds without permanent deformation.
b. Transverse Loads - The transverse loads on supporting structures
and foundations should be determined from the following conditions:
NESC Loads-- Transverse loads for the modified heavy loading '
conditions which includes a 6. pound wind on 1/2 inch of radial
ice at 15o.F.
•
Wind Loads - Wind speeds are to be based on conditions known to
exist in the.Lubbock Area and from .the National Summary of clima-
tological data for. the Lubbock weather reporting station. The
transverse loads are to be determined using constant wind*pressure'
as per section 4. 1, item I.
'�►
c. Loads Due to Line ASgles'- Where a change in directidi of wires
occur, the--transverse-load- upon. the.. supporting structures is
K
the resultant load equal to the. vector sum of the transverse
wind load and- the_ re�:iltant , load imposed by the wires?glue- to
their change:ih direction. In obtaining these loading, a wind
"
direction i:s•to-be.lured-which gives the maximum -result-'ant load, -
proper reduction be-i�g made -in loading -,to ref lect.the'ireduced-
--.—
wind:pressure_jxitheLAaires resulting from:the angularity of .the
- ...
application of the' vijnd 'to the wires.
__.
d. Wind on Structure. -Without Wires - All structures are .t.o have
_
sufficient strength,'.before stringing, to withstand the wind
'
velocity specified .under Wind Loading. The structurebe
-------••---• ,_ -.•_.
,'shall
_ .__ capable, pf_.withstanding this load from any direction..' _ _ ..... _ ...
e. Longitudinal Loads
Dead •Ends' --The Ln'gitudinal.loads upon^supportini structures
i."
at -dead -ends for=line terminations are -to be_deterniined as
-tcL_the..1ongitudina1component.of :.tensions. of
all wires under modified heavy loading conditions: ~-
_2. Unbalanced Loads -'Where longitudinal Goads can be:created
by the difference in tensions in the wires in adjacent spans
caused by unequar vertical loading -or by unbalanced ice
loads in adjacent spans, the structures are to be capable
of supporting this longitudinal loading.
3. Stringing and Construction Loads - Proper allowance is to
be considered for longitudinal loads which may be produced
on the structures by wire stringing operations and construction.
Techniques will be adopted which will minimize these effects.
4. Broken Conductor Considerations - In addition to the longi-
tudinal loads already given for the various cases, we require
that no permanent deflection will occur on structural com--
ponents including the pole shafts in the case of a broken
conductor during conditions of low temperatures and/or wind
and ice.
A statement to the fact that the shaft, arms and other com-
ponents will perform as required, is required with the proposal.
To assist the bidder -in determining the correct value of the
_'� •=• ° �.Iongi•tudinal •load;=�-vhe,,fol]owing information is-prov4ded:
a. Conductor tensions -under the conditions most probable
for broken conductor at the instant 'immediatel-y prior to
the break:" ice, 6 pounds wind, -loo F Tension =
10,500 -lbs.
b;,- •Span--length,var•ies but is approximately 600 feet.
c. Sag approximately 13 feet.
{� 6.2- Simultaneous Application of Loads - The vertical,. transverse, and
longitudinal loadings previously specified relate to loadings on the--
.. wires and :structures.-_ The _vertical ,'-transverse and longitudinal load
components on the -supporting structures are to.be.considered-as acting
simultaneously.
6.3. Overload Factors- In-order'to arrive at the maximum design -loads or.'
ultimate- loads, the loads: -specified are to.be.,multiplied by. an appro-
priate -,overload factor.- The overload factors are shown .in the attached
Design -Load Section i n -the..append i:x.
2. 6.4 Deflections
------ __ _. _. __--a,-- General.--Transmission..-structures constructed of steel -Robes -are
to be analyzed.for deflection to provide adequate strength
-requirements.- The large deflections usually resulting from hors-
- zonta-1° loads cause additional stress due `to the.vertica.1- loads
-bei ng--zpp.1 i ed. i n .the :f'i na 1 def 1 ected pos i ti on.. .This` add i t i onal - _
= stress:iS A be'consiOred -in the simultaneous application of
loads. _
-.
b. Appearance - Deflections play an important part in the appearance
of a structure. At line angles, deadends, or where all vertical
conductors are on one side of a pole structure, the constant load
i in one direction will cause the structure to bow and appear out of
roll,. plumb. Cambering of the poles so they will appear straight and
plumb will be required for these cases. In cases where structures
will be initially loaded eccentrically and deflections will cause
the pole to\be out of plumb until final installations can be made,
the manufacturer is to recommend the amount of rake necessary,
under everyday conditions, to make the structure appear closer to
plumb until the final loads are installed. -
6.5 Design Calculations and Data
The design calculations shall be the responsibility of the supplier
in accordance with the guidelines set forth above. A load tree and
basic design loads are included in the appendix to assist in these
calculations. The design calculations and data shall be submitted

a. General dimensions of all structural components and anchor bolts.
b. The total actual moments, moment of inertia furnished, and the w/t

effect of deflections on all vertical loads including the dead
<<,r^ load of the pole.
d. Structure and anchor bolt weight.
e. Torsional stresses on structure leg members, including shear
forces.
6.6 Final Design Calculations
Final design calculations shall be.submitted to the purchaser before
fabrication commences, and shall include, in addition to the previously
mentioned items:
a. The total actual moments, moment of inertia, and stress at the
connections of the arms. a
