It is further agreed and understood between the Contractor and Owner that time is of the essence of this contract. 35. TIME AND ORDER OF COMPLETION It is the meaning and intent of this contract, unless otherwise herein specifically provided, that the Contractor shall be allowed to prosecute his work at such time and sessions, in such order of precedence, and in such manner as shall be most conductive to economy of construction; provided, however, that the order and time of prosecution shall be such that the work shall be substantially completed as a whole and in part, in accordance with this contract, the plans and specifications, and within the time of completion designated in the bid; provided, also, that when the Owner is having other work done, either by contract or by his own force, the Owner's Representative may direct the time and manner of constructing work done under this contract so that conflicts will be avoided and the construction of the various works being done for the Owner shall be harmonized. The Contractor shall submit, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Owner's Representative, schedules which shall show the order in which the Contractor intends to carry on the work, with dates at which the Contractor will start the several parts of the work and estimated dates of completion of the several parts. 36. EXTENSION OF TIME The Contractor agrees that he has submitted his bid in full recognition 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 has been delayed by an actor neglect of the Owner, Owner's Representative, employees of the Owner or other contractors employed by the owner, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strike, walkouts, 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 Contractor. The Owner's Representative within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request for an extension of time by the Contractor supported by all requested documentation shall then consider such written request and respond to Contractor in writing granting or rejecting the request for an extension of time to complete the project. 37. HINDRANCE AND DELAYS In executing the contract, the Contractor agrees that in undertaking to complete the work within the time herein fixed, he has taken into consideration and made allowances for all hindrances and delays incident to such work, whether growing out of delays in securing material or workmen or otherwise. No charge shall be made by the Contractor for hindrance or delays 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 or 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 shall be paid by Owner to Contractor. 38. QUANTITIES AND MEASUREMENTS 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 bids offered for the work. It is understood and agreed that the actual amount of work to be done and the materials to be fumished under this contract may differ r 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. 39. 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 Contract, 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 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 not apply to any claim of any kind arising out of the existence or character of the work. 40. PRICE FOR WORK In consideration of the furnishing of all necessary labor, equipment and 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 specifications and stipulations herein contained, the Owner agrees to pay the Contractor the price set forth in the bid 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 work, also, for all expenses Incurred by him and for well and truly performing the same and the whole thereof in the manner and according to this Contract, the attached specifications, plans, contract documents and requirements of Owner's Representative. 41. 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 Owner, 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 r. not theretofore been timely filed as provided in this contract. 42. PARTIAL PAYMENTS On or before the tenth day of each month, the Contractor shall submit to Owner's Representative an application for partial payment. Owner's Representative shall review said application for partial payment and the progress of the work made by the Contractor and if found to be in order shall prepare a certificate 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 work. The Owner shall then pay the Contractor on or before the fifteenth day of 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 Contract. 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 a reasonable and equitable portion of the retained percentage due Contractor. 43. FINAL COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE Within thirty-one (31) days after the Contractor has given the Owner's Representative written notice that the work has been completed or substantially completed, the Owner's Representative and the Owner shall inspect the work and within said time, if the work be found to be completed or substantially completed in accordance with the contract documents, the Owner's Representative shall issue to the Owner and Contractor his certificate of completion, and 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. 44. FINAL PAYMENT Upon the issuance of the certificate of completion, the Owner's Representative shall proceed to make final . measurement and prepare a final statement of the value of all work performed and materials furnished under the terms of the Contract, and shall certify same to the Owner, who shall pay 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 Contract, 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 performance 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. 45. CORRECTION OF WORK BEFORE FINAL PAYMENT FOR WORK Contractor shall promptly remove from Owners' premises all materials condemned by the Owner's Representative on account of failure to conform to the contract, whether actually incorporated in the work or not, and Contractor 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 and replace it at Contractor's expense. 46. CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER FINAL PAYMENT Neither the final payment nor certificate nor any provision in this 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. 47. PAYMENT WITHHELD The Owner may, on account of subsequently discovered evidence, withhold or nullify the whole or part of any certificate to such extent as may be necessary to protect himself from loss on account of: (a) Defective work not remedied. (b) Claims filed or reasonable evidence indicating possible filing of claims. (c) Failure of the Contractor to make payments promptly to subcontractors or for materials or labor. (d) Damage to another contractor. When the above grounds are removed, or the Contractor provides a surety bond satisfactory to the Owner, which will protect the Owner in the amount withheld, payment shall be made for amounts withheld because of them. f } 48. TIME OF FILING CLAIMS r' It is further agreed by both parties hereto that all questions of dispute or adjustment presented by the Contractor shall be in writing and filed with the Owner's Representative within fifteen (15) days after the Owner's Representative has given any directions, order or Instruction to which the Contractor desires to take exception.

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 falls to comply with the orders of the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Contract, 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 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 r" 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 y„ 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 i 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 Contract. 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 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 r" 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 r 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 Representative as being correct shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the r 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 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 of the 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. 50. 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 prices stated In the attached bid, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to cant' the whole work to completion, and which cannot be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor 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 Contract, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the Contractor on or before thirty (30) 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 Contract. 51. BONDS The successful bidder will be required to furnish a performance bond in accordance with Chapter 2253, Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds $100,000 and the successful bidder will be required to furnish a payment bond in accordance with Chapter 2253, Government Code, in the amount of 100% of the total contract price in the event that said contract price exceeds $25,000. 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. 52. SPECIAL CONDITIONS In the event special conditions are contained, herein as part 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. 53. 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 the prosecution of the same, or from unusual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the work, shall be sustained and bome by the Contractor at his own cost and expense. 54. 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 cant' out the other prerogatives which are expressly reserved to and vested r" in the Owner or Owner's Representative hereunder, is not intended to and shall not at any time change or effect the status of the Contractor as an 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. 55. 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 work room 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. CURRENT WAGE DETERMINATIONS xesututiun No. Di:!

If required; the Contractor shall excavate and locate existing underground utilities ahead of trench excavation in order that necessity for grade changes may be ascertained in advance. The Contractor shall be held responsible for the repair of such structures when broken or otherwise damaged because of carelessness on his part. Hand excavation shall be used where necessary. The Contractor shall notify local utilities whenever working near gas mains or services or near electrical or telephone cables or when the presence of these utilities is suspected in the area of construction. 600-3.5 Removing Pavement General: Wherever it is necessary to make cuts in existing pavements, sidewalks, driveways, or cum and gutters, the cuts shall be made in such a manner as to cause the least possible damage to adjoining surfaces. Removal of Asphalt Pavin : 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 Contractor 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 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 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, tunneling 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 center of the pavement cut. Payment for removal of concrete paving shall be included in the unit price bid per foot of pipe installed. 600-3.6 Excavation and Trenching The trench shall be placed as close to the existing line as possible. If for any reason the new line can not be placed there the Chief Engineer for Water Utilities shall be notified of the new location and must approve of the new location before construction can begin. 600-10 In order to obtain a true, even grade, the trench shall be fine -graded. The material for fine grading shall be free of rocks, roots, grass or any other debris. The depth of the fine grading material shall not exceed three (3) inches. Where the trench is excavated in excess of three (3) inches below grade, the material shall be compacted to 95% Proctor Density or shall be replaced r with bedding material. If the material being excavated is rock or other unyielding material, it _ shall be removed to a depth of three (3) inches below grade and replaced with bedding material to grade. The grade shall be such that the pipe will rest firmly on the bedding material r• throughout the entire length of the pipe cylinder. The minimum width of the trench shall be the outside diameter of the pipe plus twelve (12) inches and the maximum width shall be the outside diameter of the pipe plus eighteen (18) inches. The trench shall be cut so that the maximum horizontal offset of the trench walls from the bottom to the top of the trench (undercutting) shall be six (6) inches. �^ Bell holes of ample dimensions shall be dug at each joint to permit the proper jointing of the pipe and to permit the bottom of the pipe to rest firmly on the bottom of the trench throughout the entire length of the pipe cylinder. Trench digging machinery may be used to make the trench excavation except in places where its operation would cause damage to trees, buildings, telegraph lines or other existing structures either above or below ground, in such instances hand methods shall be employed to excavate the trench at no additional cost to the owner. Where necessary to prevent caving, the trench shall be adequately braced and shored. The unit �- price bid per linear foot of pipe shall include the cost of furnishing, installing, and removing the L bracing and shoring. The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions for protecting paved streets and drives from l being damaged by the trenching and backfilling equipment. l All excavated material shall be placed in a manner that will not endanger the work or damage existing structures. There will be no classification of the excavated materials and the term excavation shall include all materials encountered in excavating the trench. 600-3.7 Pipe Installation General: All pipe and accessories shall be handled, laid, jointed, tested for defects and leakage G. antic �orinated in the manner herein specified. r Inspection: The pipe, fittings, valves, and accessories shall be inspected upon delivery and during 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. Handlin 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 i 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. 600-11 i 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 Laying Placement: The new line shall be placed as close to the existing line as possible. If for any reason t e new line can not be placed there the Chief Engineer for Water Utilities shall be notified of the new location and must approve of the new location before construction can begin. Al�nment 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 a vertical or horizontal plane to avoid obstructions, to plumb valves or where vertical or horizontal curves are shown or permitted, the degree 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. 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 Pipe and Accessories into Trench: After the trench grade has been complete , all bell holes dug and the grade inspect- , 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. 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. 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 approved means, and no trench water shall be permitted to enter the pipe. 600-12 I_ { 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. La4n& and Jointing PVC Pipe: The trench bottom should be constructed to provide firm, stable, Flo' and um orm support tbr 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 backfrlled 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, additional trench depth should be excavated to a depth not less than three inches (Y) below the pipe subgrade over the entire width of the trench and shall be replaced with granular material conforming to 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, and large stones should be removed to provide four (4) inches of pipe cushion. La4ing and Jointin& Ductile Iron Pi e: 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 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. Proper implements, tools, and equipment should be used for placement 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 joints should be tl assembled with care to the depth recommended by the manufacturer. 6, 600-3.8 Setting Valves, Valve Boxes and Fittings Valves and fittings shall be set at the locations shown on the plans or at locations as established b the Engineer, and shall be joined to the pipe in the manner heretofore specified for pipe Y gi � J p�p p P�p installation. The valves and fittings shall be adequately blocked for thrust with concrete. Valves shall be set vertically and in concrete valve boxes. 600-3.9 Concrete Cradling and Blocking Where concrete cradling is used, the concrete shall conform to the concrete specifications. Before placing the concrete, all loose earth shall be removed from the trench. The concrete shall 7 be placed in the trench by the use of chutes extending to within three (3) feet of the bottom of the trench and shall be deposited uniformly on each side of the pipe in such a manner as not to disturb the grade and alignment of the pipe. The concrete shall be of such consistency that is will 7 flow without separation of the aggregates. 600-13 I'; At locations shown on the plans or as directed by the engineer, the contractor will be required to cradle the pipe or block the fittings. 600-3.10 Anchorage of Bends and Plugs, Etc. Concrete shall be used for blocking the pipe, plugs, and fittings and shall conform to the concrete specifications. The blocking shall be placed, as directed by the engineer, between solid ground and the fitting to be anchored: the area of bearing on pipe and on the ground in each instance shall be that required by the engineer. The blocking shall be so placed that the pipe and fitting joints will be assessable for repair. The soil bearing value for thrust backing shall be recommended by the pipe manufacturer, and in the absence of such recommendation, the allowable bearing value shall not exceed 3000 lbs. per square foot. 600-3.11 Hydrostatic Tests Pressure During Test: After the pipe has been laid, the line shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test and leakage test. The line shall be tested at 50 p.s.i. pressure. Duration of Pressure Test: The duration of each pressure test shall be as directed by the engineer but shall not exceed or 4) hours. 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 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 all visible leaks stopped, a leakage test shall be made on each valved section of the lines to determine the quantity of water lost by leakage. The contractor shall furnish all labor, material, and equipment (except meters) required for making the test. The leakage shall be determined by measuring the quantity of water supplied to each valved section of the lines, during the test period, when the various sections of the lines are under pressure. No pipe installation will be accepted until or unless the leakage as determined by above test is less than the amount set forth below. The allowable leakage (gallons per hour) shall not be greater than determined by the following formula: L=ND P 7400 L = Gallons Per Hour D = Nominal Pipe Diameter (in.) N = Number of Joints P = Test Pressure (PSI) 600-14 r, If individual sections show leakage greater than the limits specified above, the contractor shall at his own expense locate and repair the defective joints until the leakage is within the specified allowance. 600-3.12 Sterilization of Pipe Lines The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment and material necessary for the chlorination of the new pipe lines which shall be sterilized before being placed in service. The lines shall be sterilized by the application of the chlorinating agent. The chlorinating agent may be a liquid chlorine, liquid chlorine gas -water mixture, or a calcium hypochlorite solution, which shall be fed into the lines through a suitable solution -feed device, or other methods approved by the engineer. The chlorinating agent shall be applied at or near the point from which the line is being filled, and through a corporation stop or other approved connection inserted in the horizontal axis of the newly laid pipe. The water being used to fill the line shall be controlled to flow into the section to be sterilized very slowly, and the rate of application of the chlorinating agent shall be in such proportion of water entering the pipe that the chlorine dose applied to the water entering the line shall be at least 50 parts per million. The treated water shall be retained in the pipe lines for a period of not less than twenty-four (24) hours. Samples shall be taken from the line and will be tested for bacteriologic growth by the Texas Department of Health Laboratory. Samples will be taken twice in a forty-eight (48) hour period not less than twenty-four (24) hours apart. The sampling riser shall be located at a location farthest from the point of chlorination. The riser shall be above ground and equipped with a faucet for control of flow during sampling. i.. 600-3.13 Gravel for Embedment Gravel for embedment shall be required only if specified be the project engineer and shall consist of processed natural gravel. The particles shall have irregular surfaces. The material shall be graded within the following limits. r Maximum Percent Retained No. 4 Sieve 5-15 No. 10 Sieve 50-90 No. 40 Sieve 90-100 The material shall be sufficiently free from clay, dust, blow sand, caliche or slag so as to prevent shrinkage after jetting and drying. 600-3.14 Backfilling All trenches and bell holes for all types of pipe, valves, and fittings 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 shall be compacted with mechanical or hand tamps to 7-1/2 inches below 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 F 600-15 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 e cleared of an 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 lumps which still remain after blading the area back to the original ground grade. Furrows which tend to gather after blading shall be removed, together with excavated material which has drifted or otherwise covered private property. As the construction work progresses, the contractor will be required to 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. 600-3.15 Clean-up After the construction is completed and before final acceptance by the City, the contractor shall remove all rubbish, excess materials from the excavation and other debris from the site of the work and all trench surfaces shall be bladed as heretofore specified. The cost of cleanup shall be included in the bid price per foot of pipe installed. 600-3.16 Paving Repair The contractor shall contact the Street Department at (806) 767-2606 and notify them of proposed street/alley cuts. Paving repair shall comply with the latest revision of the "Pavement Cut Repair Specifications" of the Street Department. A copy of these specifications can be obtained at the Street Department located at 600 Municipal Drive. boa 16 a SEND I..
