Instructions For Contractors Regarding Affirmative Action
Under Executive Order 11246
lual Employment Opportunity)
F":;0: A CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION
A prime contractor or subcontractor who signs a contract on a Federal or federally-assisted construction project
assumes the obligation to take whatever affirmative actions are necessary to assure equal employment opportunity
in all aspects of employment, irrespective of race, color, religion, or national origin. It is expected that a con-
tractor will carry out that part of his contract pertaining to equai employment opportunity with the same amount of
thought and action as he will any other part of the contract.
THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
To do this, the contractor must have a program of affirmative action. The program must be tailored to the particu-
lar set of circumstances which apply to the contractor and to the locality, the labor market, and the project (or
projects) in which the contractor is involved.
It is expected that a contractor's affirmative action program will include actions suited to carrying out the prin-
ciples listed in the following pages, to show that top management of the company intends to, and will, exert posi-
tive effort to assure equal opportunity in employment. (The actions listed under these principles in the following
pages are furnished only as suggestions, and are not intended to limit the kinds of actions which may be taken.
A substantial proportion of these or comparable actions are considered feasible for the individual employer, either
on his own or as part of a joint effort with his professional or trade association in the local area.)
PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING WRITTEN PROGRAM
In some cases, submittal of written copies of the program is required. If the box at left is checked, the
prime contractor is to develop and submit to the applicant,l within 15 days after the preconstruction con-
ference (or after receipt of this notice, if the project is already tinder construction), three copies of his
written affirmative action program. Likewise, if the box is checked, the prime contractor is to submit to the appli-
cant, within 15 days of awarding each nonexempt4 subcontract of $100,000 or more, three copies of the affirmative
action programs of each such subcontractor. An up-to-date copy of each affirmative action program is also to be
maintained at the employment site, available for inspection by representatives of the applicant and of the Govern-
ment.
If the box is not checked, submittal of written copies will not ordinarily be required, but all other aspects of these
instructions remain in effect.
FOLLOW-THROUGH
To assure compliance with equal employment opportunity requirements and evaluate progress made by a contractor
under his affirmative action program, the applicant will observe the contractor's performance on a continuing basis.
Compliance reviews will also be made by representatives of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
1 To be acceptable, affirmative action programs must reflect current (as well as past) thought and action on the part
of the employer. It is recommended that each contractor and subcontractor keep a file of his equal employment
activities and accomplishments.
1 Read (instead of "applicant" wherever it appears) "Applicant's Architect/Engineer" or "LPA" or "LHA" or "Sponsor"
where such term is more appropriate. Read "HUD Regional Office" if a direct Federal contract is involved.
4"Nonexempt" as specifically identified by the applicant or a representative of HUD at the preconstruction (or preperformance)
conference.
I
Principles of Affirmative Action
AND SUGGESTED STEPS FOR A PROGRAM
1. Write out an Equal Employment Opportunity Policy for your company. Make this policy known to all your em-
ployees and potential sources of employees and to your subcontractors, asking their cooperation. Use every ap-
propriate means (bulletin boards, handbooks, letters, etc.) to get your points across. Be sure you are understood.
(One way is to ask for signed acknowledgments and assurances of cooperation.)
2. Appoint a top management official. in your company as Equal Employment Opportunity Officer (or equivalent
title), to coordinate company efforts, to advise and assist your key staff, including superintendents and foremen,
and to serve as a focal point for any complaints.
3. Assure non-discriminatory recruiting for your company, taking appropriate steps such as:
(a) Placing employment advertisements in newspapers which serve the largest number of minority-group people
in the recruiting area;
(b) Recruiting through schools and colleges having substantial proportions of minority students;
(c) Maintaining systematic contacts with minority and human relations organizations, leaders, and spokesmen to
encourage referral of qualified minority applicants (including those in related work such as fabricating shops
and home repair) and minority youths interested in construction occupations;
(d) Encouraging present employees to refer minority applicants;
(e) Making it known to all recruitment sources that qualified minority members are being sought for consideration
for supervisory, journeyman, office, and technical jobs as well as others, whenever the company hires.
4. Assure non-discriminatory hiring by your company, taking appropriate steps such as:
(a) Instructing personally those of your staff who make hiring decisions that minority applicants for all jobs (in-
cluding supervisory, journeyman, office, and technical jobs) are to be considered without discrimination;
(b) Where union agreements exist --
1. cooperating with your unions (perhaps through your contractors' organization) in the development of pro-
grains to assure qualified minority persons -- including apprentices -- of equal opportunity for employment
in the construction trades;
2. including an effective non-discrimination clause in new or renegotiated union agreements;
(c) Using as many apprentices and summer and part-time trainees -- particularly from the minority group -- as
work needs and union agreements, if any, will permit.
5. Assure that your company makes maximum use of apprenticeship and other training to help equalize opportunity
for minority persons, taking appropriate steps such as:
(a) Sponsoring and assisting minority youths as well as others to enter pre-apprentice and apprentice training,
and making such training available to the maximum extent within your company:
(b) Actively encouraging minority employees as well as others to increase their skills and job potential
through participation in training and education programs, and helping to assure that such programs are ade-
quate and are in fact available to minority persons;
(c) Actively participating in Joint Apprenticeship Committees;
(d) Working with civic, labor, and contractors' organizations (helping to organize a sponsoring group if nec-
essary) to conduct an open-admission training resource for the construction trades in your area.
6. Assure non-discriminatgry placement and promotion within your company, taking appropriate steps such as:
(a) Instructing personally those of your staff who make decisions on placement and promotion that minority
employees are to be considered without discrimination, and that job areas in which there is little or no
minority representation should be reviewed to determine whether this results from discrimination;
2
, 1
(b) Distributing written questionnaires to all lower-paid employees, inquiring as to their interest and skills
f ® with respect to any of the higher-paid trades, followed by assistance, counselling, and effective measures
to enable employees with interest and potential to qualify themselves for such trades.
7. Assure non-discriminatory pay, other compensation, and working conditions in your company, taking appropriate
steps such as:
(a) Examining rates of pay and fringe benefits for present employees with equivalent duties, and adjusting
any inequities found;
(b) Not reducing the compensation of existing employees whom you have converted to on-the-job trainee status;
(c) Advising all qualified employees whenever there is an opportunity to perform overtime work.
8. Assure non-discriminatory demotion, layoff, or termination, perhaps by requiring advance clearance of such ac-
tions through your company's Equal Employment Opportunity Officer.
9. Encourage non-discriminatory subcontracting for your company, taking appropriate steps such as:
(a) Encouraging minority-group subcontractors, and subcontractors with minority representation among their
employees, to bid for subcontracting work;
(b) Counselling and assisting minority craftsmen who have the interest and potential to become subcontractors,
with respect to securing performance bonds, writing contracts, and making bids.
Ifik Follow through, questioning, verifying, making whatever changes or additions to your program may be necessary

19. Time for Completion and Liquidated Damages
It is hereby understood and mutually agreed, byand between the Contractor and the Owner,
that the date of beginning and the time for completion as specified in the contract of the
work to be done hereunder are ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS of this contract; and it is further
mutually understood and agreed that the work embraced in this contract shall be commenced
on a date to be specified in the "Notice to Proceed."
The Contractor agrees that said work shall be prosecuted regularly, diligently, and un-
interruptedly at such rate of progress as will insure full completion thereof within the
time specified. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and
the Owner, that the time for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable
time for the completion of the same, taking into consideration the average climatic range
and usual industrial conditions prevailing in this locality.
If the said Contractor shall neglect, fail or refuse to complete the work within the time
herein specified, or any proper extension thereof grantedby the Owner, then the Contractor
does hereby agree, as a part consideration for the awarding of this contract, to pay to the
Owner the amount specified in the contract, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages for
such breach of contract as hereinafter set forth, for each and every calendar day that the
Contractor shall be in default after the time stipulated in the contract for completing the
work.
The said amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the Contractor and the Owner
because of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual
damages the Owner would in such event sustain,and said amount is agreed to be the amount
of damages which the Owner would sustain and said amount shall be retained from time
to time by the Owner from current periodical estimates.
It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this contract
and of the specifications wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the
performance of any act whatsoever; and where under the contract an additional time is
5
ii Mai
allowed for the completion of any work, the now time limit fixed by such extension shall

with liquidated damages or any excess cost whenthe Owner determines that the Contractor
is without fault and the Contractor's reasons for the time extension are acceptable to
the Owner; Provided, further, that the Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated
damages or any excess cost when the delay in completion of the work is due;

settlement of the contract, notify the Owner, in writing, of the causes of the delay, who
shall ascertain the facts and extent of the delay and notify the Contractor within a reason-
able time of its decision in the matter.
20. Correction of Work
All work, all materials, whether incorporated in the work or not, all processes of manu-
facture, and all methods of construction shall be at all times and places subject to the
inspection of the Architect/Engineer who shall be the final judge of the quality and suit-
ability of the work, materials, processes of manufacture, and methods of construction
for the purposes for which they are used. Should they fail to meet his approval they shall
be forthwith reconstructed, made good, replaced and/or corrected, as the case may be,
by the Contractor at his own expense. Rejected material shall immediately be removed
from the site. If, in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer, it is undesirable to replace
any defective or damaged materials or to reconstruct or correct any portion of the work
injured or not performed in accordance with the Contract Documents, the compensation to
be paid to the Contractor hereunder shall be reduced by such amount as in the judgment
of the Architect/Engineer shall be equitable.
21. Subsurface Conditions Found Different
Should the Contractor encounter sub-surface and/or latent conditions at the site materially
differing from those shown on the Plans or indicated in the Specifications, he shall imme-
diately give notice to the Architect/Engineer of such conditions before they are disturbed.

essary, any increase or decrease of cost resulting from such changes to be adjusted in
the manner provided in Paragraph 17 of the General Conditions.

days, cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination, the Owner shall imme-
diately serve notice thereof upon the Surety and the Contractor and the Surety shall have
the right to take over and perform the contract; Provided, however, that if the Surety does

the Contractor and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to the Owner for any ex-
cess cost occasioned the Owner thereby, and in such event the Owner may take possession
of and utilize in completing the work, such materials, appliances, and plant as may be on

forms to be supplied by the Owner (a) a detailed estimate giving a complete breakdown of
the contract price and (b) periodic itemized estimates of work done for the purpose of

may be taken into consideration.
(c) All material and work covered by partial payments made shall thereupon become the
sole property of the Owner, but this provision shall, not be construed as relieving the
Contractor from the sole responsibility for the care and protection of materials and
work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work, or

tractor agrees that he will indemnify and save the Owner harmless from all claims
growing out of the lawful demands of subcontractors, laborers, workmen, mechanics,
materialmen, and furnishers of machinery and parts thereof, equipment, power tools,
and all supplies, including commissary, incurred in the furtherance of the performance
of this contract. The Contractor shall, at the Owner's request, furnish satisfactory
evidence that all obligations of the nature hereinabove designated have been paid, dis-
charged, or waived. If the Contractor fails so to do, then the Owner may, after having
served written notice on the said Contractor,either pay unpaid bills, of which the Owner
has written notice, direct, or withhold from the Contractor's unpaid compensation a
sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until
satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged where..
upon payment to the Contractor shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of this
7
contract, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose
any obligations upon the Owner to either the Contractor or his Surety. In paying any
unpaid bills of the Contractor, the Owner shall be deemed the agent of the Contractor,

release the Contractor or his sureties from any obligations under this contract or the

(a) The Contractor shall post at appropriate conspicuous points at the site of the project a
schedule showing all determined minimum wage rates for the various classes of
laborers and mechanics to be engaged in work on the project under this contract and
all deductions, if any, required by law to be made from unpaid wages actually earned
by the laborers and mechanics so engaged.
(b) All mechanics and laborers employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once aweek, 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 (29 CFR Part 3)), the full
amounts due at time of payment computed at wage rates not less than those contained in
the wage determination decision 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. For the purpose of this
clause, contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated under Section 1(b)(2) of the
Davis-Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such
laborers or mechanics, subject to the provisions of 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv). Also for the
purpose of this clause, regular contributions made or costs incurred for more than a
weekly period under plans, funds, or programs, but covering the particular weekly
period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred during such weekly period.
(c) The Department of Housing and Urban Development 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 or reclassified conformably to the wage
determination, and a report of the action taken shall be sent by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development to the Secretary of Labor. In the event the interested
parties cannot agree oil the proper classification or reclassification of a particular
class of laborers and mechanics to be used, the question accompanied by the recom-
mendation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development shall be referred to the
Secretary for final determination.
(d) The Department of Housing and Urban Development shall require, 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 anhourly wage rate and the Contractor is obli-
gated to pay a cash equivalent of such a fringe benefit, an hourly cash equivalent thereof
to be established. In the event the interested parties cannot agree upon a cash equivalent
of the fringe benefit,the question, accompanied by the recommendation of the Department
of Housing and Urban Development, shall be referred to the Secretary of Labor for
determination.
(e) The Contractor may consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the
amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or pro-
gram described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis-Bacon Act, or any bona fide fringe
benefits not expressly listed in Section i(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act or otherwise not
listed in the wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor which is included in
this contract, only when the Secretary of Labor has found, upon the written request of
the Contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have been met.
Whenever practicable, the Contractor should request the Secretary of Labor to make
such findings before the making of the contract. In the case of unfunded plans and
programs, 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.
(f) The specified wage rates are minimum rates only, and the owner will riot consider any
claims for additional compensation made by the Contractor because of payment by the

consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs
reasonably anticipated in providing benefits under a plan or program of a type expressly
listed in the wage determination decision of the Secretary of Labor which is a part of
this contract: Provided however, the Secretary of Labor has found upon the written
14
request of the Contractor that the applicable standards of the Davis-Bacon Act have
been met. 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.
53. Withholding of Payments
The Department of Housing and Urban Development may withhold or cause to be withheld
from the Contractor so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered
necessary to pay laborers and mechanics employed bythe Contractor or any subcontractor
on the work the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay
any laborer or mechanic employed or working on the site of the work, all or part of the
wages required by the contract, the Department of Housing and Urban Development may,
after written notice to the Contractor or Owner, take such action as may be necessary to
cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such
violations have ceased.
54. Payrolls and Basic Records

work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics

such employee, his correct classification, rates of pay (including rates of contributions
or costs anticipated of the types described in section l(b)(2) of the Davis-Bacon Act),
AM daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and actual wages paid.

any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in
providing benefits under a plan or program 'described in section l(b)(2)(B) of the
Davis-Bacon Act, the Contractor shall maintain records which show that the commitment
to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or program is financially respon-
sible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the laborers or
mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual cost
incurred in providing such benefits.
(b) The Contractor will submit weekly a copyofall payrolls to the Owner, for transmission
to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The copy shall be accompanied
by a statement signed by the employer or his agent indicating that the payrolls are
correct and complete, that the wage rates contained therein are not less than those
determined by the Secretary of Labor and that the classifications set forth !or each
laborer or mechanic conform with the work he performed. A submission of a "Weekly
Statement of Compliance" which is required under this contract and the Copeland
regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR, Part 3) and the filing with the initial
payroll or any subsequent payroll of a copy of any findings by the Secretary of Labor
under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) shall satisfy this requirement. The Prime Contractor shall
be responsible for the aubrnission of copies of payrolls of all subcontractors. The Con-
tractor shall make the records required under the labor standards clauses of the con-
tract available for inspection by authorized representatives of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Labor, and shall permit such
representatives to interview employees during working hours on the job.

registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States Department of
Labor. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen in any craft classification shall
not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to his entire work force under
the registered program. Any employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who
is not registered as above, shall be paid the wage rate determined by the Secretary of
Labor for the classification of work he actually performed. The Contractor or subcontractor
will be required to furnish to the Department of Housing and Urban Development written
15
evidence of the registration of his program and apprentices as well as of the appropriate
ratios and wage rates, for the area of construction, prior to using any apprentices on the
contract work.

pensation at a rate not lees than one and one-half times his basic rate of pay for all
hours worked in excess of eight hours in any calendar day or in excess of forty hours
in such workweek, as the case may be.

ministratively be determined to be necessary to satisfy any liabilities of such Con-
tractor or subcontractor for unpaid wages and liquidated damages as provided in the

gravity sewers and all appurtenances, as shown on the Plans, complete and
operative.
Construction work included under these Specifications shall be so planned
and executed that the various portions of the work will be carried on concur-
rently and the whole completed within the time allowed.
All work under this Contract shall be paid for on a unit price basis as
described in the Information for Bidders.
2. SHOP DRAWINGS:
In accordance with paragraph 6 of the Special Conditions, shop drawings

Payment for shop drawings shall be included in the price bid for the item
of equipment or material for which the shop drawing is furnished.
3. HANDLING OF MATERIALS:
All materials shall be delivered and distributed to the site of the work
by the Contractor.
Payment for work described in this paragraph shall be included in the
price bid for the item containing the various pieces of equipment o: material.
4. CONCRETE:
The Contractor's attention is called to the fact that the Specifications
for Class A and Class B concrete carry three limiting factors, all of which
shall be complied with. These factors are: (1) minimum strength, (2). minimum
volume of cement per cubic yard of concrete, and (3) maximum volume of water
per sack of cement.
a. Classes of Concrete. Class C concrete shall be used for fill to
replace exposed rock in the pipe trench. Class B concrete shall be used
II-1
i All other concrete used on this project shall be
for encasement of pipe. p �
Class A concrete, unless otherwise specifically noted on the Plans.
b. Class A Concrete. Class A concrete shall have a minimum compressive
strength of 3,500 pounds per square inch in 28 days and shall consist of the
mixture which results in one cubic yard of concrete to each batch of fine
and coarse aggregate and water used to each six sacks of cement. Total water
shall be limited to a maximum of 6-1/2 gallons per sack of cement. The fine
and coarse aggregates for each batch of concrete where monolithic construction
is to be carried out shall be accurately weighed; the exact weight of each
batch shall be that necessary to produce a dense workable concrete with the
yield per sack of cement as herein specified when mixed within the limita-
tions of the amount of water herein specified. Where small batches of concrete
are to be used and the concrete is mixed on the site, Class A concrete shall
be considered as that mixture consisting of 2 cubic feet of dry fine aggregate,
not more than 3-1/2 cubic feet of dry coarse aggregate to each sack of cement,
mixed with not more than 6-1/2 gallons of total added water.
c. Class B Concrete. Class B concrete shall have a minimum compressive
strength of 2,000 pounds per square inch in 28 days and shall consist of the
mixture which results in one cubic yard of concrete to each batch of fine and
coarse aggregate and water used to each four sacks of cement. Total water
shall be limited to a maximum of 8-1/2 gallons per sack of cement. Where
small batches of concrete are to be used and the concrete is mixed on the
site, Class B concrete shall be considered as that mixture consisting of
3 cubic feet of dry fine aggregate, not more than 5 cubic feet of dry coarse
aggregate to each sack of cement, mixed with not more than 8-1/2 gallons of
total added water.
d. Class C Concrete. Class C concrete shall consist of the mixture
which results in one cubic yard of concrete to each batch of fine and coarse
aggregate and water used to each two sacks of cement. Total water shall be
limited to a maximum of 9--1/2 gallons per sack of cement..
e. Determination of Added Water. In determining the amount of added
water, allowance should be made for the moisture content in the aggregates.
In measuring the fine aggregate by volume for small batches of concrete, if
the aggregate is wet, allowance should be made for the bulking on account
of the presence of moisture.
f. Proportioning. The concrete mixtures will be approved by the
Engineer from design mix tests. All materials required for these tests
shall be supplied by the Contractor from samples taken from the approved
source of supply. At any time during the construction period, the relative
weights of fine and coarse aggregates as determined by the original mix de-
sign may be varied slightly in order to ensure the use of the least amount
of fine aggregate which will produce workable concrete with the slumps
specified.
II-2
The water content of the concrete shall at all times be the minimum
necessary to properly place the concrete. It shall be regulated as required
to adjust for any variation in the moisture content or grading of the
aggregates. Addition of water to compensate for stiffening of the consistency
before placing will not be permitted. Uniformity of concrete consistency
from batch to batch will be required.
All concrete shall be proportioned by weight. Allowance must be made
for the weight of moisture in the aggregates in order to determine the
amount of additional water required for the given concrete mix design.
g. Air-Entrained Concrete. An air-entraining admixture, approved by
the Engineer may be used in the concrete should the Contractor desire to im-
prove the workability of the concrete. No additional payment will be made
for the use of an admixture approved by the Engineer at the Contractor's
request. The air-entraining admixture shall be added to the concrete during
the process of mixing. The agents shall be accurately measured and dispensed
by means of an approved adjustable mechanical dispenser which will automatically
and gradually discharge the required amount of material into the mixing water.
The entire amount of air-entraining agent shall be fully discharged before all
of the mixing water has entered the drum of the mixer. The dispenser shall be
so constructed that it can be accurately calibrated for the quantity of agent
discharged at various settings and shall be provided with means by which the
discharge can be readily diverted from the stream of mixing water to a con-
tainer for measurement.
Class A concrete which contains an approved admixture shall contain
5 per cent plus or minus 1 per cent of entrained air by volume. The volume
of entrained air in the freshly mixed concrete will be measured by the Engineer
by the volumetric method, Test for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by
the Volumetric Method, ASTM Designation 0173, or by tine pressure method, Test
for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method, ASTM Desig-
nation C231. Mixes will be designed for the recommended air content and adequate
control shall be provided to keep the air content within the required .limits.
h. Consistency. The consistency of the concrete shall be such that the
slump, when measured according to Test for Slump of Portland Cement Concrete,
ASTM Designation C143, is the lowest compatible with workability and ease of
placing. In general, the slump shall not exceed 3 inches.
No additional water shall be added at the site of placement except with
permission and under strict supervision of the Engineer and then only in an
emergency. Such additional water shall be added only in small increments and
then only in the smallest amount necessary within the required :Limits of con-
sistency for the particular work, and shall be uniformly mixed and incorporated
into the unplaced concrete before deposition in the forms.
II-3
i. Mixing. Concrete required for blocking, encasement and other uses
incidental to the installation of pipe involving small quantities may either
be mixed by machine or by hand. All other concrete shall be mixed by machine.
J . Mixing by Machine. The mixer to be used shall be so designed as to
take one complete batch of materials using whole bags of cement only and to
mix that batch thoroughly before any portion of it is withdrawn and any por-
tion of the succeeding batch is introduced. In no case shall the volume of
the batch to be mixed be greater than the amount of materials which can be
loaded and mixed in the mixer without any loss during the loading or mixing
by spilling. The mixer shall be equipped with a water tank accurately cali-
brated ao that the required amount of water can be added to each batch, and
with a batch meter or other suitable attachment for satisfactorily locking
the discharging device so as to prevent the emptying of the drum until all
of the materials have been mixed together for the minimum time required.
After all the ingredients, including water, have been placed in the
drum, they shall be thoroughly mixed in the mixer for a period of not less
than one minute. During this period the drum shall make not less than 14
nor more than 20 revolutions per minute.
k. Central Plant Concrete Mixing. In lieu of mixing on the job by
machine or by hand, central plant concrete will be permitted, provided the
concrete conforms to the proportioning hereinbefore specified, is mixed at
a central plant or in transit in equipment approved by the Engineer, and in
conformity with current ASTM Specifications for Ready-Mixed Concrete (C94) .
The concrete shall be delivered to the job in batches of such size that it
can be conveniently handled without setting up during placing, without seg-
regation of aggregates, and of satisfactory consistency to ensure a uniform
concrete mixture when placed.
1. Hand Mixing. Where hand mixing of concrete is permitted, it shall
be carried out on watertight boards or pans in not more than 2-sack batches.
The cement and fine aggregates shall first be mixed dry until a uniform
color is obtained. The water shall then be gradually added and the mixture
made into a mortar, adding additional water until the desired consistency is
reached. The coarse aggregate shall then be spread upon the mortar and
covered with mortar. The whole mass shall then be cut through and turned
over not less than four times or until thoroughly mixed with a uniform
homogeneous mixture obtained before being removed from the mixing board or
pan in the place where it is to be deposited. The total amount of water
shall not exceed the limitations hereinbefore specified for Class A, B or
C concrete.
m. Forms. Forms for concrete shall be rigidly braced so that they
cannot bulge or warp and leave an unworkmanlike finished surface. They may
be constructed of any material with sufficient strength which will give the
finished work a satisfactory surface. They must be sufficiently tight so
II-4
that mortar cannot escape from the concrete in appreciable quantity. Forms
P P
shall be cleaned and be thoroughly moistened or treated with form oil before
concrete is placed. All exposed exterior concrete corners shall be chamfered
one inch.
n. Reinforcing. All reinforcing shall be rigidly fastened in the forms
prior to the pouring of any concrete in such manner that the steel will be
held accurately to the location shown on the Plans. Steel shall be cleaned
of rust, scale, oil, or other surface matter before being placed in forms.
o. Placing. The methods and equipment used for transporting concrete
and the time that elapses during transportation shall be such as will not
cause appreciable segregation of coarse aggregate, or slump loss in excess
of one inch in the concrete as it is placed in the project.
Before placing concrete in the forms or in the place of deposit, all
debris and foreign materials, soft earth, or mud, shall be removed. Water
shall be removed from the place of deposit. No concrete shall be placed in
water. Steel or wood forms shall be oiled and treated to prevent adhesion
of concrete and damage to the concrete surface upon removal of the forms.
Concrete shall be placed as nearly as practicable in its final position to
avoid segregation due to rehandling or flowing. Concreting shall be carried
on at such a rate that the concrete is at all times plastic and flows readily
into the forms and around reinforcing. No concrete shall be used that has
partially hardened or has been contaminated by foreign material or that has
AM been retempered. Placing of concrete shall be performed only in the presence
TA
of a duly authorized representative of the Engineer unless inspection is
waived in each specific case.
The temperature of concrete when it is being placed shall be not more
than 90 degrees F. or less than 40 degrees F.
Concrete shall be placed before initial set has occurred.
Before depositing concrete on or against concrete which has taken its
initial set, the surface of the hardened concrete shall be broken off down
to coarse aggregate and wire-brushed to remove foreign matter and laitance.
A layer of grout of the same cement-sand ratio as the concrete without. coarse
aggregate shall be placed to a thickness of 1 to 2 inches on the brushed sur-
face after which the new concrete shall be placed immediately.
When concreting has once started, it shall be carried on as a continuous
operation until the section or structural unit is completed.
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted by vibrators, spading or
other suitable means during the operation of placing to ensure that concrete
will flow around all reinforcement, embedded fixtures, and into the corners
of the forms to give a dense finished product with true surfaces free from
11-5
honeycombing, segregation and other imperfections. Concrete shall be placed
in horizontal layers of no greater depth than 18 inches. Concrete shall be
placed at a suitable rate to avoid the formation of unauthorized cold joints.
In no case shall vibrators be used to transport the concrete inside the forms.
Care shall be taken when placing concrete through reinforcing steel so
that the segregation of coarse aggregate is kept to a minimum. In such cases,
spouts, elephant trunks, or other suitable means shall be used. The free
fall of concrete shall be held to a practical minimum and shall not exceed
5 feet at any time.
The placing of concrete shall be so planned that horizontal and vertical
construction joints are made where shown on the drawings or where approved
by the Engineer. Structural keys shown on the Plans shall have a minimum
width of 4 inches and a depth of 1-1/2 inches. The concrete shall be left
with a roughened surface for construction Joints. Waterstops shall be placed
as shown on the Plans and in all construction joints subject to water on one
side and where the opposite side is intended to be dry.
p. Protection. The Contractor shall protect all concrete against
injury until final acceptance by the Engineer.
During cold weather all concrete materials and all reinforcement, forms,
fill material,. and ground with which the concrete will be placed in contact,
shall be free of frost or ice and snow. Whenever the temperature of the
surrounding area is 40 degrees F. and falling, no concrete shall be placed
unless the Contractor has on hand sufficient, suitable, and approved means
of protecting the concrete. Whenever the temperature of the surrounding air
is between 40 degrees F. and 32 degrees F. , all concrete placed in the forms
shall have a temperature between 50 and 70 degrees F. Adequate means shall
be provided for maintaining a temperature in the surrounding air no.t' less
than 70 degrees F. for at least three days, or 50 degrees F. for five days.
The housing, covering, or other protection used shall remain intact and in
place at least 24 hours after artificial heating is discontinued. Care
must be used to prevent fire hazards when using heating and no fire or ex-
cessive heat shall be permitted near or in direct contact with concrete at
any time. Salt or chemicals shall not be used in the concrete to prevent
freezing.
Whenever the temperature of the surrounding air reaches 32 degrees F. ,
or lower, concrete shall not be placed except with the approval. of the
Engineer who shall state the time in addition to that specified herein that
artifical heat and protection must be supplied. Whenever the temperature of
the surrounding air reaches 20 degrees F. or lower, no concrete shall be
placed except for emergencies and only with special permission and super--
' vision of the Engineer.
q. Curing of Concrete. All concrete placed when the temperature is
above 40 degrees F. shall be either sprinkled continuously for 72 hours, or
II-6
shall be covered with burlap which shall be kept moist for at least 72 hours.
The use of membrane curing shall be permitted only when approved by the
Engineer. The membrane curing compound shall be of a type approved by the
Engineer.
Concrete cured with water shall be kept continually wet for at least
72 hours immediately following placement of the concrete, or until covered
with fresh concrete. The concrete to be cured shall be kept wet by covering
an with water-saturated material or by a system of perforated pipes, mechanical
sprinklers, or porous hose, or by any other approved method which will keep
all surfaces to be cured continuously (not periodically) wet. Water curing
shall commence as soon as the concrete has hardened sufficiently to prevent
damage. Water used for curing shall meet the requirements for water used for
mixing concrete.
Membrane curing compound shall be applied to formed surfaces immediately
after the forms are removed. If any areas require patching, or any other
surface treatment, the membrane curing shall not be applied to that area until
after the area has been repaired. The area to be repaired shall be kept
continually wet by a method approved by the Engineer prior to the patching
or surface treatment of the area. Following the patching or surface treatment
and a 24-hour period of water-curing, the area may, at the Contractor's option,
be treated with membrane curing compound for the remainder of the curing
period.
Any membrane curing compound applied to surfaces that require patching
or other surface treatment, or to surfaces that are specified to be water-
cured as listed above, shall be completely removed by sandblasting.
Where membrane curing is used, following removal of the forms, the
surfaces shall be thoroughly moistened with water and the curing compound
applied as soon as free water disappears. The curing compound shall be
applied to unformed surfaces as soon as free water disappears or immediately
following finishing where special finishing operations are specified. The
curing compound shall be applied in a two-coat continuous operation by
approved power-spraying equipment and at a uniform coverage of not more than
300 square feet per gallon for each coat. All concrete surfaces on which the
curing compound has been applied shall be adequately protected for a period
of 72 hours from any cause which will disrupt the continuity of the curing
membrane. Any curing membrane damaged during the 72-hour period shall be
Aff
restored as directed by the Engineer.
All concrete and reinforcing steel shown on the Plans or required by the
specifications shall be included in the unit price bid for each item in which
the concrete is used, and will not be measured or paid for separately, except
Class B and C concrete used for pipe encasement or trench backfill, which will
be measured and paid for as noted elsewhere in these Specifications.

MP 5. INTERFERENCE WITH TRAFFIC:
It must be recognized that in some instances the work of this project
involves the construction of sewers along the public streets of the developed
municipality. Access to abutting property should be provided wherever it is
possible without interference with the construction operation. The Contractor
will be required to provide satisfactory bridges to allow traffic to cross
over the excavated trench where the street intersection is traversed by open
cut excavation. Care should be taken to avoid blocking of access to fire
hydrants during this construction. After the sewer is constructed and the
backfill made over the completed sewer, a temporary pavement is to be laid
do down and the street open to traffic in order to provide access to abutting
property as soon as possible. Open cut crossings are to be maintained for
60 days with macadam or other satisfactory material so as to provide an all-
weather roadway surface, after which time the restoration of the permanent
pavement of the type ordered by the Engineer shall be carried out.
Payment for all work described in this paragraph shall be included in
the unit price bid for "Class B Trench Excavation."
6. PROTECTION OF TREES AND RESTORATION OF LANDSCAPED AREAS:
Wherever the sewer is to be built in a right-of-way located along
occupied property which has been landscaped or in the sidewalk space adjacent
to trees, and wherever trees are encountered adjacent to the line of the work,
the Contractor's operations must be so organized and carried out as not to
disturb or destroy any trees except where permission to do so has been
obtained from the property owners with the Engineer's approval. The existing
surface shall not be disturbed beyond the limits of the right-of-way, which
shall include the necessary areas for storing of materials of construction
and excavated materials. Upon completion of the work, the surface shall be
replaced to conform to the original surface. Where turf has been disturbed,
the completed backFilled surface shall be sodded or raked and seeded during
the proper time of the year. Where excavated material is stored adjacent to
trees, it shall be carried away so as not to cause injury to them in any way.
If necessary, boxing shall be provided around trees, plants or shrubs. Upon
completion of the work, such boxing shall be removed and the original condi-
tion restored. Payment for carrying out the necessary protection and
restoration of trees and landscaped area, as herein specified, shall be
included in the payments made at the price bid per cubic yard for "Class B
Trench Excavation."
Where excavation is made through surface rock, the Contractor may be
required to restore the surface to its original contour. The Contractor
will replace the surface rock with Class C concrete at the direction of the
I Engineer. Such concrete will be measured and paid for at the price bid per
cubic yard for "Class C Concrete."

7. PROTECTION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES:
The work must be carried out in such a manner that all structures or
improvements along and adjacent to the new sewer construction are properly
protected. Any damage occurring to property of others because of the Con-
tractor's operation shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the owner of
said private property by the Contractor and the cost considered as covered
in the item of "Class B Trench Excavation."
8. PROTECTION OF POLE LINES,WATER AND GAS PIPES, AND ALL OTHER UNDERGROUND
UTILITIES:
On the Plans, for the work to be constructed under this Contract; is
shown the record information which has been obtained from the utilities for
underground pipes or conduits which exist along the line of the proposed
sewers or at the location of the other improvements. The City does not
guarantee the accuracy of these locations, but merely indicates the information
which has been obtained from the companies owning such underground pipes or
conduits. The locations of utility poles, shown as noted at the time of the
survey, may have since been changed. It is assumed that the Contractor will
make a field inspection of the locations of the work, and note all poles and
overhead improvements which may affect his method of operation in the con-
, struction of the sewers and other improvements at such locations.
Such poles, overhead wires, underground pipes and conduits that may
exist or may be encountered are to be protected at the Contractor's expense.
Any expense or inconvenience caused by their existence, and the necessary pro-
tection during the construction of the sewers or other facilities adjacent
thereto, shall be considered as covered and included in the price bid for
"Class B Trench Excavation," or the lump sum bid for other improvements.
The Contractor shall notify the utility owners in advance of any construction
which would expose underground pipelines or otherwise affect their safety.
9. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SECONDARY PAVEMENTS:
Usable dirt roads and secondary pavements, consisting largely of
crushed rock and cinders, which are to be removed in the course of the
construction, shall be replaced with a layer of crushed rock compacted to
• minimum thickness of 8 inches. The road surface shall be maintained for
• period of 60 days after initial replacement to allow for settlement and
consolidation of the backfill, after which it shall be bladed to a smooth
and uniform surface.
No separate payment for the removal and restoration of secondary pave-
ments shall be made. Payment for such removal and replacement shall be
considered as included in the price bid for "Class B Trench Excavation."

QP 10. REMOVAL AND RESTORATION OF ASPHALTIC PAVEMENT:
The asphaltic pavement to be removed shall be cut to neat straight lines.
After completion of the granular backfill, a layer of crushed rock shall be
compacted to a minimum thickness of 8 inches. The rock course shall be primed
and covered with a minimum of 2 inches of asphaltic concrete wearing surface
to the cross section and grade as set by the Engineer to meet the present
undisturbed pavement on each side of the area restored. Asphaltic concrete
as and placing methods used shall be similar in quality to the original pavement
and approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall restore the surface to
the grade specified by the Engineer, should any settlement take place within
one year of the initial pavement restoration.
Payment for the removal and restoration of asphaltic concrete shall be
limited to an area calculated on a width equal to the trench payline widths
herein specified for the particular size of sewer installed, multiplied by
the length of pavement restored. Payment will be made at the price bid per
square yard for "Restoration of Asphaltic Pavement," which payment shall
include the whole cost of removing the existing pavement within cut straight
lines, disposing of the material removed from the line of work, preparing
Ask the subgrade, furnishing of plant, labor, materials, tools and all other
incidentals which may be necessary for removing and restoring the pavement.
11. TRENCH EXCAVATION:
The work included under "Trench Excavation" shall comprise any necessary
clearing of the line on which the sewer is to be constructed; of making all
excavations of all materials of every description which may be encountered
and as classified hereinafter as "Trench Excavation. Class A" and "Trench
Excavation, Class B"; of furnishing and placing of all shoring, sheeting and
bracing which may be necessary to protect the work and to execute it; of
shaping the bottom; of furnishing all equipment which may be necessary to
keep the trenches free from water so that the sewers and concrete may be
rM
placed in the dry; of providing for the uninterrupted flow of surface water
or sewage adjacent to the line of the work during the progress of the work
so as not to interfere with the natural surface flows; of protecting all
pipes, conduits, culverts, bridges and all other public and private property
which may be endangered by the work; and of hauling away all surplus exca-
vated material.
A series of borings was taken along the entire length of the construction,
The results of these borings are shown on the Plans for information only.
There is no expressed or implied agreement or guarantee that the depths or
character of materials are correctly shown or that conditions affecting the
work will not differ from those shown on the Plans.
All excavation shall be carried out accurately to the line and grade as
shown on the Plans. The elevations shown on the profiles of the sewers are
those of the flowline of the pipes.
II-10
The bottom of the trench shall be over-excavated a minimum of 4 inches
i
below the bottom of the pipe, or to a sufficient depth to provide a stable
bottom and shall be shaped for the bell at each joint of pipe to ensure
uniform bearing for the entire length of the pipe.
If the bottom of the excavation is found to be unstable or to include
ashes, cinders, refuse, vegetable or other organic materials considered un-
suitable by the Engineer, the Contractor shall excavate and remove such
unsuitable material to the depth required and backfill to the original sub-
grade with granular backfill, well-compacted by means of mechanical tampers
or vibrators in 6-inch layers, except as noted hereinafter. If over-excavation
is required by the Engineer, the quantity of such authorized additional
excavation shall be determined by the Engineer, and the Contractor shall
be paid by the City for the over-excavation at the unit price bid for "Class
B Trench Excavation." Any unauthorized over-excavation shall also be back-
filled as described above but no payment shall be made for such over-excavation
and backfilling.
All excavation shall be dewatered before any construction is undertaken
therein. Concrete shall be placed only upon dry firm foundation material
Anh and pipe shall be laid only in dry trenches.
The responsibility of the Contractor with respect to the use of explo-
sives in blasting includes compliance with all laws, rules and regulations
of the State, the City and the insuror, governing the keeping, storage, use,
manufacture, sale, handling, transportation or other distribution of explo-
sives. All operations involving the handling, storage and use of explosives
shall be conducted with every precaution by trained, reliable men under
satisfactory supervision, Blasts shall not be fired until all persons in
the vicinity have had ample notice and have reached positions out of danger
therefrom. The Contractor shall advise the Engineer in advance when charges
are to be set off.
After a blast is fired, the Contractor shall thoroughly scale the
excavation, removing all loose and shattered rock or other loose material
which may be dangerous to the workmen, and the excavation shall be made safe
before proceeding with the work. The fact that the removal of loose.or
shattered material may enlarge the excavation beyond the required limits
shall not relieva the Contractor from the necessity for making such removal,
and the Contractor shall not be entitled to compensation therefor.
AMhL Class A material is any material, such as solid limestone or hard
stone in original bed or well-defined ledges, large boulders, detached
pieces of limestone or hard stone, or mass concrete more than 9 cubic feet
in volume, any of which cannot be removed by heavy equipment without drilling
and blasting or wedging.
Where rock or other hard material occurs in the trench so that any
portion of the pipe would rest on rock or hard material, or at the direction
II-11
of the Engineer, the trench excavation shall be carried to a depth below the
g � P
planned grade so that no rock is closer than 4 inches to the outside of the
pipe at any point. The width of trenches shall be ample to permit the pipe
to be laid, jointed, and covered properly.
Class B material is any material not included in Class A excavation.
Trenches shall be dug so that all pipes can be laid to the alignment
and depth required. The width of trenches shall be ample to permit the
pipe to be "laid and jointed properly and the backfill to be placed and com-
pacted. Additional width shall be provided where shoring or bracing is used.
® In order to avoid superimposed loading in excess of the designed and
® specified pipe strength and to provide sufficient room for proper installation
and bedding of pipe, the trench widths for the sewer pipe shall be kept
within a minimum of 2 feet 4 inches and a maximum of 2 feet 10 inches.
The Contractor may, at his option, where working conditions and rights-
of-way permit, and with the approval of the Engineer, excavate sewer trenches
with sloping sides, but with the following limitations:
Only braced vertical trenches will be permitted in streets, alleys or
easements which are paved, or in locations where the trenches are in close
proximity to utilities, buildings, railroad tracks, or other installations
which could be endangered by the excavation.
Where trenches are excavated with sloping sides for pipe sewers to be
installed, the slope shall not extend below a point one foot above the
extrados of the pipe, and the trench excavation below the point shall be
carried out with vertical sides for widths not exceeding the maximum width
provided for in these specifications above.
Any trench excavated with sloping sides for pipe sewers which has a
width one foot above the top of the pipe in excess of the maximum trench
width permitted will result in an increased load on the sewer pipe. If.
slopes are allowed to extend below this .level, or if the width of the trench
at this level is greater than the specified maximurn width, additional strength-
ening of the pipe is required, and accordingly, wherever such conditions
exist and where the fill on the pipe exceeds 6 feet, the Contractor shall
place granular fill between the bottom of the trench and the level 6 inches
above the top of the pipe from the outside of the pipe to the undisturbed
sides of the trench. No payment shall be made for such additional granular
backfilling which shall become necessary on account of the Contractor's
operations in excavating trenches of excessive widths below the specified
levels.
Through all tillable property, a minimum of one foot of topsoil shall
be removed from the trench and stockpiled for use in backfilling the upper
one foot of trench after the lower portion of the backfill has been completed.
II-12
® Where necessary to protect the labor, the work or P > > adjacent property j
and in all trenches with vertical sides deeper than 6 feet, the Contractor
shall provide and install shoring. The sides of the trench shall be securely
held by bracing or sheeting of either wood or steel. Shoring shall remain
in place until the backfill has proceeded to a point where it can be safely
removed. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, damage is likely to result from
withdrawing shoring, it shall remain in place. Payment for all lumber left
in place as ordered by the Engineer will be paid for at the price bid per
an MFBM for "Lumber Ordered Left in Trench," which payment shall cover the whole
cost of furnishing all material, labor, equipment, tools and all other in-
cidentals which may be necessary for placing the lumber in the trench. This
payment shall not cover the cost of furnishing, placing and removing lumber
used for bracing during construction, which need not remain in place upon
completion of the backfill. Payment for lumber used as temporary bracing
shall be included in the price bid per cubic yard for "Class B Trench
Excavation."
Payment for trench excavation in rock, including backfill and surplus
disposal shall be made at the price bid per cubic yard for "Class A Trench
Excavation." Payment shall cover the whole cost of furnishing all equipment,
AML labor, tools, materials and all other incidentals which may be necessary for
completing the excavation. It shall cover the whole cost of rerouting all
storm water or sanitary sewage flows, of protecting adjacent improvements,
maintaining temporary macadam or gravel surfaces in satisfactory and safe
condition for use by traffic until permanent pavement restoration is carried
out, and of cleaning up the site.
Payment for Class A trench excavation shall be for the volume calculated
on the basis of the payline width of the trench, as herein specified, the
depth from the upper rock surface to an elevation 4 inches below the re-
quired bottom of the pipe, and the actual length of rock removed, up to the
distance between centers of manholes.
Payment for Class B trench excavation, including, backfill and surplus
disposal, shall be made at the price bid per cubic yard for "Class B Trench
Excavation" (including backfill and surplus disposal) . Payment shall cover
the whole cost of furnishing all equipment, labor, tools, materials and all
other incidentals which may be necessary for carrying out the necessary ex-
cavation, pumping and fluming, and taking care of dry and storm water flows,
protecting adjacent improvements, backfilling, including tamping of the
backfill as herein specified, stockpiling topsoil and backfilling with top-
soil where required, maintaining temporary macadam or gravel surface in
satisfactory safe condition for use by traffic until the permanent pave-
ment restoration is carried out, disposing of the surplus excavated materials,
removing any existing sewers, and cleaning up of the site, including the
furnishing, placing and removing of all sheeting and bracing which may be
necessary during construction, but which is not ordered left in place and
which is removed as the backfill is being carried out.
r
II-13
lie
Payment for Class B trench excavation shall be for the volume calculated
on the bards of the payline width of the trench as herein specified for the
various sizes of pipe sewers, the actual depth of Class B material removed,
or the depth from the surface to the pipe flowline, whichever is lesser, and
the length between centers of manholes.
The payline width for trench excavation to be used in calculating the
volume of excavation performed under this Contract is 2 feet 4 inches for
both the 8-inch and 10-inch pipe.
12. STANKS OR SHORT TUNNELS:
The gravity sewers may be constructed in stanks or short tunnels where
requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer.
The top of the tunneled length shall slope upwards to each entrance to
permit adequate backfilling. The tunneled portions shall be sufficiently
large to allow adequate working room at the sides and above the pipe to be
installed.
The tunnel bottom shall be shaped as required for trench excavation.
A bedding of crushed limestone and screenings shall be placed to fill any
irregularities in shaping and to ensure a uniform continuous bearing for
the pipe barrel at the required elevation without load on the pipe bells.
After firmly bedding and jointing the pipe, the crushed limestone and screen-
ings shall be solidly packed around the pipe to 6 inches above the top of
the pipe. The remaining space above the top of the pipe shall be parked
solidly with tamped earth free from debris, rocks, lumps or organic matter,
or, at the election of the Contractor, with tamped limestone screenings .
The Contractor shall carry out the work of stanking in a safe, prudent
manner to avoid endangering human life or property.
No separate payment for the construction of the gravity sewer in stanks
or short tunnels shall be made. Payment for such stanks or short tunnels
shall be considered as included in the price bid for "Class B Trench
Excavation," calculated as for open trench excavatiun.
13. INSTALLATION OF VITRIFIED CLAY SEWER PIPE:
Each pipe shall be set on end and rung before laying and any pipe found
to be cracked or damaged shall be plainly marked in such a manner that the
marking will not rub or wash off, and shall subsequently be removed from the
site.
Pipe shall be laid with -the bell or socket uphill to the required line
and grade on a prepared subgrade excavated and shaped as hereinbefore
described. 'The prepared s ubgrade shall be kept free from water during the
II-14
MM
laying of the pipe. Line and grade shall be maintained by the use of no
less than three batter boards set at 25-foot intervals and a top line. Ex-
cept by special permission of the Engineer, no pipe shall be laid except
in the presence of an inspector. Each pipe as laid shall be plumbed for line
with a plumb bob, and graded with a grade stick for elevation. The accuracy
of the finished line and grade of the pipe shall be obtained in the prepara-
tion of the subgrade.
The use of approved laser beam equipment may be substituted for the
offset stake-batterboard method. The laser beam projector is to be rigidly
mounted, with two point suspension, to its support platforms, to assure
that all ground equipment vibrations will be kept to a minimum. This will
permit. the laser beam to project itself coaxially through the center of the
pipe. All units must have equipment to control atmospheric conditions in
the pipe that could affect the acceptable standard of construction.
The laser aligning method selected must be shown to have worked satis-
factorily on at least three contracts, and must be operated by competent,
trained men. The equipment used must be as manufactured by Laser Align-
ment, Inc. , or approved as equal.
The Contractor shall set offset stakes at each manhole, plus one other
r center line and offset stake as a check point.
Pipe shall be laid on granular bedding material (1/2-inch maximum lime-
on stone and screenings) . After the placement of the pipe, backfill to the
springline of pipe shall be made with granular material placed by hand to
prevent the pipe from being disturbed. Backfill shall then be completed
to 6 inches above the top of pipe with granular bedding material. No walking
over the completed pipe shall be allowed until the backfill has been com-
pleted to at least one foot above the top of the pipe. Backfill ing of the
completed pipe shall commence immediately upon completion of pipe placement.
It should be noted that clay pipe must be laid through the highway
right-of-way.
As the work progresses, the interior of the sewer shall be cleaned of
all dirt or debris of any description.
_r Pipe shall be laid through line manholes, and the upper half removed
1 after the invert is completed, unless half-pipe is used. This is not ap-
plicable for manholes at angle points.
_) Vitrified clay pipe shall be so handled and stored that the jointing
material will not be deformed or damaged. The joints shall be connected
I by first brushing the proper lubricant on the clean surfaces as recommended
by the pipe manufacturer. The spigot end shall be centered on grade into
the bell end of the downstream pipe and shoved "home." The rubber gasket
-� shall be properly positioned in the groove.
�� II-15
All sewer pipe shall be laid and handled so that the allowable leakage
shall not be exceeded as measured by the tests hereinafter described.
All extraneous material shall be removed from the completed sewer pipes
and manholes before they are accepted by the City.
All vitrified clay pipe will be measured and paid for as such. Each
size of pipe shall be measured and paid for at the corresponding unit price
bid for each particular size of pipe installed. The length of pipe shall
be the horizontal distance between the centers of manholes as measured along
the alignment of the pipe.
The unit prices for the 8- and 10-inch vitrified clay pipe shall include
the granular bedding and all other material, labor and equipment necessary
to install and test the pipe, complete in place, in accordance with the Plans
and Specifications, including connections to existing pipe stubs.
14. INSTALLATION OF TRUSS PIPE:
Truss pipe shall be palletized and stored on a smooth surface to avoid
two-point loading which could introduce a curve in the pipe. Pipe shall not
be stacked higher than 6 feet.
Reasonable care shall be taken not to drop the pipe or to drag it across
sharp objects.
Pipe shall be laid to correct line and grade. Joints shall be solvent-
welded following manufacturer's recommendations. Pipe shall not be blocked
to grade, but shall be uniformly supported on granular bedding for its entire
length on the lower quadrant before any backfill is begun. Bedding and
initial backfill shall be as described for vitrified clay pipe in the fore-
going paragraphs. Payment for truss pipe shall be made as described for
vitrified clay pipe in the foregoing paragraphs.
15. INSTALLATION OF WYE JUNCTIONS:
Wyes shall be installed in the same manner as specified for the pipe.
Wye branches shall be closed at the outer end. A clay or concrete stopper
or cap shall be placed against the shoulder or offset in the bell, groove
or sockets. The space in the socket above the cap shall be filled with wet
sand or clay and then covered with a thin coating of mortar so that cap is
sealed but can be readily removed.
Wyes will be paid for at the unit price bid for each and as an addition
to the amount paid for the completed pipe sewer containing the wye. The
N� payment shall include all material, labor, and equipment necessary to install
i the wye including the stopper or cap.
�� 11-16
16. CONCRETE ENCASEMENT:
The pipe shall. be encased where shown on the Plans or where directed
by the Engineer with Class B concrete of the dimensions shown on the detail
on Sheet 9. The concrete may be placed against the undisturbed earth sides
and bottom of the trench. Side forms may be used if necessary and if ap-
proved by the Engineer. Horizontal joints will not be permitted in unrein-
forced encasement. Pipe shall be supported and held in place before and
during placing of concrete. The trench shall be kept dry and free of water
until the concrete has set and can not be damaged by water. Backfill above
the top of encasement to a level one foot above the top of pipe shall be
carefully compacted with select job-excavated material. This compacted
backfill below a level one foot above the pipe shall not be placed until
12 hours after the concrete encasement has been completed.
Class B concrete for encasement, required where shown on the Plans or
as directed by the Engineer, shall be paid for at the price bid per cubic
yard for "Class B Concrete," which payment shall cover the whole cost of
furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, tools, and all other incidentals
Ak which may be necessary for furnishing and placing the Class B concrete.
The volume to be paid for encasement under this item shall be 0.10 cubic
yard per lineal foot of 8-inch sewer, and 0.11 cubic yard per lineal foot
of 10-inch sewer.
17. MANHOLE CONSTRUCTION:
Manholes shall be built of brick to the dimensions and at the locations
as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer, as rapidly as the
construction of the sewer will permit. All bricks in each course shall be
headers and break joints with those in the ajoining course. Each brick
shall have full mortar joints on the bottom and sides, which shall be formed
at one operation by placing sufficient mortar on the bed and forcing the
brick into it. Horizontal joints shall not exceed 3/8 inch and vertical
joints on the inside of the manholes shall not exceed 1/4 inch.
The mortar for the brick work of the manholes shall be made of one
part of portland cement and three parts of sand, complying with the fine
aggregate specifications hereinbefore described. The sand and cement shall
be thoroughly mixed dry, and the necessary quantity of clean water shall be
added so as to produce a stiff mortar of the proper consistency, which mix
shall be thoroughly worked with proper tools. The addition of lime will
not be permitted.
All joints on the inside of the manholes are to be carefully rubbed
full and struck as the manhole is built up. Upon completion of each manhole,
all waste mortar and debris shall be immediately removed from the bottom and
the invert shaped to the dimensions shown on the Plans and all bottom joints
struck or pointed. The jointing of the brick work shall be such that the
II-17
�.r
manhole will be watertight so that no groundwater infiltration through the
F manhole ,joints will occur. The outside of the manhole shall be covered
with a mortar plaster coat 1/2 inch thick.
A single rowlock shall be turned over all incoming and outgoing pipes.
Truss pipe shall be connected to manholes with rubber gaskets strapped
to the pipe as recommended by the truss pipe manufacturer.
The inverts of all manholes located at changes in alignment of the
sewer shall be shaped to the incoming and outgoing pipes and smoothly curved
from pipe to pipe to the top of invert at springline.
On line manholes, pipe shall be laid through the manhole and the upper
half removed after the invert has been completed. Half pipe may be used.
As alternates, precast concrete manholes, manholes built of cast-in-
place Class A concrete, or precast manhole shaft sections with cast-in-placr,
base section, may be used. Joints of precast manhole sections shall be made
utilizing a rubber gasket. Joints shall be self-centering. The gasket
shall be the sole element utilized in sealing the joint. Plans for cast-
in-place concrete manholes must be approved by the Engineer. Forms may be
of steel or clean lumber, assuring a smooth finished surface.
During the construction of each manhole, steps conforming to the speci-
fications fur manhole steps hereinbefore described, shall be set in place
on the inside of the manhole, at the spacing shown on the Plans. The top
step shall not be more than 2 feet below the top of the manhole. The ends
of the steps shall be firmly anchored in the wall, allowing cast-iron steps
to project 5 inches from the inside of the manhole, plastic steps to project
6 inches.
Manholes shall be covered with standard cast-iron frames and covers of
the dimensions and materials herein specified. Frames shall be set in place
on a mortar bed and closed with covers.
All manholes will be measured and paid for as manholes of the appro-
priate depth as bid in the Proposal.
The depth of manholes shall be measured from the invert of the sewer
to the top of the cast-iron frame and shall be paid for at the appropriate
® unit price bid.
Payment for all work included in this paragraph shall be included in
the unit price for the various depth manholes and shall include all neces-
sary labor, material and equipment for constructing the manholes, including
additional excavation beyond the trench payline width and depth, concrete
base, cast-iron frame and cover, steps, backfilling, and all other work
necessary to construct the manhole in place.

Outside drops shall be constructed as shown on tlif,. Plans. Payment will
be made for completed outside drops as an addition to the payment made for
the completed manhole. Payment will be made for each drop at the lump sum
bid price for each, and shall include all costs of excavation, lumber left
in trench, concrete or brick masonry, drop pipe, pipe elbow, jointing, and
the additional cost of the pipe ,junction on the sewer and its concrete
encasement.
la. STUBS IN MANHOLES:
There are shown on the Plans approximate locations of stubs at manholes
to be provided for future connections. The Engineer may change the location
of such stubs and may order additional stubs installed if the improvements
along the line of the work make such changes or additions necessary. The
stubs shall be closed with a clay or concrete stopper or cap cemented in
place as specified in Section II, Paragraph 17, "Installation of Wye Junc-
tions," so as to prevent groundwater infiltration through the stub.
Payment for furnishing the stubs, including stoppers cemented in place,
will be made at the price bid per "Pipe Stub in Manhole" of the size used.
This payment shall cover the whole cost of installing, complete in place,
the pipe stub and stopper where ordered.
19. TRENCH BACKFILL:
The backfilling of the completed pipe sewers shall commence immediately
after the sewer has been laid, with care being taken not to disturb the pipe
joints or shift the pipe. The initial backfill around the pipe to the un-
disturbed sides of the trench shall be made with 1/2-inch maximum crushed
rock and limestone screenings and shall be carried to a level 6 inches above
the top of the pipe. An additional 6-inch layer of selected job-excavated
material placed over the top of the granular fill shall be carefully tamped
to avoid damage to the pipe. No walking over the completed pipe sewer will
be allowed until the one foot of backfill over the pipe has been completed.
Where the Contractor excavates below the planned subgrade for pipe
lines, the over-excavation shall be backfilled with granular material well
compacted in 6-inch layers to a point 4 inches below the proposed bottom
of p1pe. Only granular material placed in over-excavation authorized by
the Engineer will. be measured and paid for at the price bid per cubic yard
for "Crushed Rock for Subgrade Replacement," which payment shall cover the
whole cost of furnishing all materials, labor, equipment, tools and other
incidentals necessary to furnish and place the granular material. The
volume to be paid for under this item shall be limited to the volume computed
within the payline widths and for the depths and lengths as ordered by the
Engineer. Crushed rock placed in over-excavation not authorized by the
Engineer shall be included in the cost of "Class B Trench Excavation."

Backfilling shall be completed to ensure restoration of the ground
surface to its original condition.
Backfill in open fields may be completed without further compaction
above one foot over the extrados, or without flushing. The fill shall be
mounded over the trench to allow for future settlement. The top one foot
of backfil.l shall be made through tillable areas with stockpiled topsoil,
as required in Section 11, "Trench Excavation."
Backfill of the trenches crossing beneath asphaltic concrete or bitu-
minous macadam pavement shall be made with granular materials. Payment for
granular fill will be made at the bid price per cubic yard for "Granular
Backfill" for the volume in place after final, compaction. The volume of
granular fill used beneath pavements which are removed and replaced shall
be computed from the actual length of the trench filled, the payline width
and the depth equal to the average distance from road subgrade elevation
to one foot above the top of pipe.
All surplus excavated material which is not usable for Backfill shall
be hauled from the work site.
The cost of all work included in this paragraph shall be included with
the cost of the excavation requiring the backfilling or filling operation,
except as noted above.
20. LEAKAGE TESTS FOR GRAVITY SEWERS:
WA Upon completion of a section of the sewer, the Contractor shall de-water
it and conduct a satisfactory test to measure the infiltration for at least
two hours. The amount of infiltration, including manholes, Y-branches, and
connections shall not exceed 500 gallons per inch-diarneter per mile of Rewer
per 24 hours. The Contractor shall be responsible for the satisfactory
watertightness of the entire section of sewer and shall satisfactorily re-
pair all joints or other locations that are not sufficiently watertight:.
As required, suitable bulkheads shall be installed to permit the test
of the sewer.
Where the ground-water level is less than one foot above the top of the
pipe at its upper end, the sewers shall be subjected to an internal pressure
by plugging the pipe at the lower end and then filling the pipelines and
manholes with clean water to a height of 2 feet above the top of the sewer
at its upper end. No section of completed sewer shall be tested with an
internal pressure of over 10 feet.
The rate of leakage from the sewers shall be determined by measuring
the amount of water required to maintain the level 2 feet above the top of
the pipe for a period of at least 2 hours, commencing one hour after the
pipeline filling is completed.

S
Leakage from the sewers under test shall not exceed the requirements
for leakage into sewers as hereinbefore specified.
The Contractor shall construct such weirs or other means of measurements
as may be required, shall furnish water and shall do all necessary pumping
to enable the tests to be properly made.
Should the sections under test fail to meet the requirements, the Con-
tractor shall do all work of locating and repairing leaks and re-testing as
the Engineer may require without additional compensation.
Payment for all work included in this section shall be included in the
payment for pipe in place as herein specified.
