dissolved oxygen control system, switchgear and related electrical
modifications, air filtration system modifications, and all related
appurtenances and devices required to complete the fine bubble
diffusion system as shown and specified. This provision, however,
shall not be construed as relieving the Contractor of his
responsibility for the work.
Under this unit responsibility requirement, the fine bubble
diffusion system supplier shall confirm the size of the aeration
system blowers, the configuration and number of fine bubble
diffusion units, the configuration of the instrumentation system
and the selection of all instrumentation components, the size
and configuration of all electrical components, the size and
characteristics of flow control valves, and all other components
necessary for a complete and operable system.
4.0 PERFORMANCE BONDS ,
Two performance bonds shall be provided to the Owner. The
first is to warrantee the workmanship and materials for a period of
1 year after completion and acceptance of the work set forth in
SP -2-4.1 of the Special Provisions.
A second performance bond shall be provided by the Contractor
as a condition precedent to acceptance of the work by the city.
The performance bond shall be for the fine bubble aeration system
performance and shall be provided in a form acceptable to the
city. The time period for the fine bubble aeration system shall
be for a period of not less than 5 years. The performance bond
shall be by a surety licensed in the State of California.
5.0 EPDXY -COATED REINFORCING STEEL. -- Epoxy -coated reinforcing
steel shall conform to the provisions in Section 52, "Rein-
forcement," of the Standard Specifications State of California,
Department of Transportation, dated January, 1981 (herein "the
Standard Specifications" for Item 5.0 only), and these special
provisions.
01010-5
All bar reinforcing steel shall be epoxy -coated.
Bar reinforcement to be epoxy -coated shall be of the ASTM
Designation and Grade required or permitted by Section
52-1.02A, "Bar Reinforcement," of the Standard Specifications
for the location or type of structure involved. The coated
reinforcement shall conform to the provisions of ASTM
Designation: D 3963, except that the thickness of coating
shall be 7 mils plus or minus 2 mils. The coating shall have
a light pastel color which will readily permit the visual
detection of damage to the coating or corrosion on the bars.
Tests for thickness of coating shall be made on a, minimum
of 2 bars of each size from each production shift. Bend
tests for adhesion of coating shall be conducted on at least
one bar of each size from each production shift. Random
tests shall be made for continuity of coating.
If any bar tested for coating thickness or for adhesion of
coating fails to meet the requirements for coated bars in
Section 7 of ASTM Designation: D 3963, 2 retests on random
samples of the bars represented by the failed tests shall be
conducted for each failed test. If the results of both
retests meet the specified requirements, the coated bars
represented by the samples shall be accepted.
A Certificate of Compliance conforming to the provisions
in Section 6-1.07, "Certificates of Compliance," of the
Standard Specifications shall be furnished for each shipment
of epoxy -coated reinforcing bars certifying that the coated
bars conform to the requirements of ASTM Designation: D 3963
and these special provisions. Said Certificate of Compliance
shall include all the information listed in Sections 3.3 and
14.1 of ASTM Designation: D 3963 and a statement that the
coating material has been prequalified by acceptance testing
performed by the National Bureau of Standards or by the
Valley Forge Laboratories, Inc., Devon, Pennsylvania.
The Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer a representa-
tive 4 -ounce sample from each batch of coating material used.
The sample shall be packaged in an airtight container
identified with the batch number.
Two 30 -inch long samples of coated reinforcing steel from
each size and from each load shipped to the jobsite shall be
furnished to the Engineer. These samples shall be
representative of the material furnished. These samples, as
well as any additional random samples taken by the Engineer,
may be tested for specification compliance. Such additional
sampling, and all tests performed by the Engineer, may be
performed at any location deemed appropriate by the Engineer.
Failure of any sample to meet the requirements of the
specifications will be cause for rejection.
01010-6
In fabricating, handling, shipping, and placing of
epoxy -coated reinforcing bars, adequate care shall be taken
to avoid damage to the coating. Handling and shipping
equipment shall have padded contact areas. All bundling
bands shall be padded or suitable banding shall be used to
prevent damage to the coating. All bundles of coated bars
shall he lifted with a strongback or multiple support system
to prevent bar -to -bar abrasion from sags in the bundles.
Bars or bundles shall not be dropped or dragged.
All damage to the coating caused by handling and
fabrication prior to shipment to the jobsite shall be
repaired as required by ASTM Designation: D 3963. Damage to
the coating occuring during shipment or installation, or
both, need not be repaired where the damaged areas are 1/4
inch by 1/4 inch or smaller and the sum of all damaged areas
in each one -foot length of bar does not exceed 0.25 percent
of the bar surface area. All bars with total damage greater
than 2 percent of the bar surface area will be rejected and
shall be removed. On bars with a total damaged coating area
not exceeding 2 percent of the bar surface area, all damaged
areas larger than 1/4 inch square and all damage in sections
of bar with more than 0.25 percent coating damage in a
one -foot length shall be repaired with patching material.
The bar surface area covered by patching material shall not
exceed 5 percent of the total surface area of any bar.
Patching material shall be compatible with the coating
material, not harmfully reactive with the concrete, and shall
be feasible for repairs by the coating applicator or bar
fabricator or in the field. The patching ''material shall be
prequalified as required for the coating material and shall
be either identified on the container as meeting the
requirements of Annex Al of ASTM Designation: D 3963 or
shall be accompanied by a Certificate of Compliance
certifying that the material meets the requirements of said
Annex Al. Patching of damaged areas shall be performed in
accordance with the patching material manufacturer's
recommendations.
Tie wire and bar chairs or other metallic devices used to
secure or support the reinforcement shall be plastic or
epoxy -coated to prevent corrosion of the devices or damage to
the coated reinforcement.
Vibrators used to consolidate concrete containing
epoxy -coated bar reinforcement shall have a resilient
covering to prevent damage to such reinforcement.
Epoxy -coated bar reinforcing steel will he measured and
paid for in accordance with the provisions in Sections
52-1.10, "Measurement," and 52-1.11, "Payment," of the
Standard Specifications and the following:
01010-7
r
Epoxy -coated bar reinforcing steel will be measured by the pound
from calculations based on the nominal weights of the uncoated
reinforcing steel.
Epoxy -coated bar reinforcing steel, except for such coated rein-
forcing steel involved in components of the work for which payment
is made under separate contract items, and where such payment expressly
includes the reinforcing steel involved, will be paid for at the
contract price per pound for bar reinforcing steel (epoxy coated).
