Gentlemen:
Under separate cover we are transmitting herewith one (1) set of
Plans and Specifications for the proposed water distribution system
of the North Weld County Water District. The District has scheduled
a bid opening for this work on June 20, 1963. This would mean that
actual construction can start about July 15, by which date at the
latest we should like to have signed the necessary permits for construc-
tion of the water lines in county road rights -of -way where required and
designated on the Plans.
I believe that we have included in our Specifications the requirements
which you have previously discussed with us. I might call specifically
to your attention Article 5 of the Specifications regarding "Trench
y/ Excavation and Backfill".
If you have any questions regarding the Plans or Specifications, please
feel free to call me. If there is some special point which must be
changed, we can do so by Addemchim prior to June 19. If everything is
in order, we would appreciate your preparing the necessary permit form(s)
at your earliest convenience.
Once again I should like to stress on behalf of myself, Parker and
Underwood, Inc., and the North Weld County Water District the intention
of co-operating in every way possible with yourselves and your representa-
tives and seeing that the constriction meets your requirements.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
PARKER AND UNDERWOOD, INC.

Any successful Contractor will be required to employ, so far as
possible, such methods and means in the carrying out of his work as will not
cause any interruption or interference with any other Contractor.
3.04. Specification Requirements. The bidder is expected to base his bid on
materials and equipment complying with the Plans and Specifications, and in
the event he names in his bid materials and equipment which do not conform,
in the opinion of the Engineer, he will be responsible for furnishing materials
and equipment which fully conform at no change in his bid price.
Before submitting a proposal, each Contractor should read the
complete Specifications and Plans including all related documents contained
herein, all of which contain provisions applicable not only to the success-
ful bidder, but also to his subcontractors.

opened, and prior to award of Contract, require any bidder to submit the
following data:

Advertisement for Bids, and the Owner, at their sole discretion, may reject
such bid without consideration of any other factors pertinent to the bid.
3.07. Quantities. Bidders must satisfy themselves by personal examination
of the locations of the proposed work and by such other means as they may
prefer as to the correctness of any quantities listed in the Proposal and
shall not, after submission of their Proposal, dispute or complain of such
estimate, or assert that there was any misunderstanding in regard to the
nature or amount of work to be done,
3.08. Estimated Quantities. The estimated quantities of the various
classes of work to be done on projects involving unit prices and material
to be furnished under this Contract are approximate and are to be used
only as a basis for estimating the probable cost of the work and for
comparing the proposals offered for the work. The Contractor agrees that
during progress of the work, the Owner may find it advisable to omit
portions of the work and to increase or decrease the quantities as may be
deemed necessary or desirable, and that the actual amount of work to be
done and material to be furnished may differ from the estimated quantities
and that the basis for payment under this Contract shall be the actual
amount of work done and the materials furnished.
1.09. Changes in Quantities on Unit Price Contracts. Where the estimated
quantities of work and materials on a unit price Contract vary on any one
item by as much as fifteen (15) percent, either increase or decrease, or
where the total Contract Cost as indicated by said estimated quantities
of work and materials varies by as much as ten (10) percent, either increase
or decrease, from work actually done and materials actually furnished, the
bid prices shown in the Proposal may be subject to negotiation.
Where the estimated quantities of work and materials on a unit
price Contract do not exceed the variance allowance stated in the previous
paragraph, the Contractor agrees that he will make no claim for damages,
anticipated profits; or otherwise, on account of any differences which may
be found between quantities of work actually done and materials actually
furnished and the estimated quantities.
Should the actual quantities of completed work vary from the
Proposal quantities through no fault of the Contractor, payment will be
based on the actual number of units installed.
3.10. Copies of Documents. Each bidder will be furnished with one (1)
copy of the Specifications and related documents. A duplicate set of
Proposal Forms will be furnished for the bidder's retained record. Bid
Proposals will not be accepted on the duplicate copy. All Proposals must

'x.11. Data Sheets, "Where data sheets concerning equipment to be furnished
3-3
are included in the Specification Documents as a part of the Proposal, the
bidder shall furnish the required information by filling in the data sheets
complete in every detail. In the event that such data sheets are insuffi-
cient, or do not readily lend themselves to the correct description of the
equipment, the bidder shall file with the bid additional statements setting
out the necessary information.
Failure to furnish such information as is required on the data
sheets will be considered as grounds for rejecting the bid.
Changes of the equipment described in the data sheets will not
be permitted without written approval of the Engineer.
3.12. Preparation of Proposal. Each Proposal shall be firmly sealed in
an envelope labeled "Contract Proposal" and delivered to the office des-
ignated in the Advertisement for Bids.

the Owner and included in this volume. Total bid prices are to be written
both by words and by figures; in case of conflict, former will apply. Unit
bids may be made by figures only. No bid will be accepted which does not
contain an adequate or reasonable price for each and every item named in
the Bidding Schedule on the Contract bid upon.
Only Proposals which are made out upon the regular Proposal
Forms attached hereto will he considered. The Proposal Forms must not be
separated from the attached volume.
3.13. Bid Security. No Proposal will be received unless accompanied by

total bid, payable to the Owner as a guarantee that if the bid is accepted,
the bidder will execute and file the proposed Contract and bond within
ten (10) days from the date of the award of the Contract. Bid bonds will
be accepted as security in lieu of certified checks only if accompanied
by a written commitment from the bonding company to provide a 100 percent
performance bond if a construction contract is awarded. On failure of
the successful bidder to execute the Contract and bond, he shall forfeit
the deposit as agreed as liquidated damages, and the acceptance of the bid
will be contingent upon the fulfillment of this requirement by the bidder.

may bid on one or more alternates at his own discretion unless otherwise
directed elsewhere in these Specifications.
Where alternate bids are requested in the Proposal Form, the
Owner reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to select either
alternate bid without regard to which alternate bid is lowest in cost.
Each bidder must submit such special data, if any, in respect
to such alternates which any section of the Contract Documents requires
to be submitted with each bid.
3.17. Supplemental Unit Prices. On a lump sum Contract, or partial lump
sum Contract, the Owner reserves the right to reject any or all supplemen-
tal unit prices which it deems to be excessive or unreasonable.
In cases where any part or all of the bidding is to be received
on a unit price basis, the quantities stated are not intended to govern.
The quantities stated, on which unit prices are so invited, are approx-
imate only, and each bidder will be required to make his own estimates of
amounts and to calculate his unit price bid accordingly. Bids will be
compared on the basis of the stated number of units in the Proposal Form.
Such estimated quantities, while made from the best information available,
are approximate only. Payment of the Contract will be based on the actual
number of units installed on the completed work,

showing the unit quantities of each major construction item and the
corresponding unit prices. Such unit prices shall contain all costs,
including profit, of each item, complete in place. The total cost of all
the items shall equal the Contract price for the project. This breakdown,
when approved by the Engineer, will be used primarily in determining pay-
ment due the Contractor on periodical estimates. If, in the opinion of
the Engineer, any unit price submitted by the Contractor is unbalanced, a
detailed breakdown of the items contained in the unit will be required.
For contracts bid on a unit price basis, unit bid prices for
substantially completed work will be used in determining payment due the
Contractor on periodical estimates. Partially completed units will not

principal construction contract or any part thereof or of the funds to be
received thereunder by the Contractor will be recognized unless such
assignment has had the written approval of the Owner and the Surety has

the proper execution of the work. No extra payments will be allowed for
work caused from incorrect dimensions on the Plans which could have been
verified by the Contractor prior to construction.
3.37. Intent of Contract Documents. The sections of the Contract Documents
and the Contract Plans are complementary, and what is called for by any
one shall be as binding as if called for by all. The intention of the
Contract Documents is to include in the Contract price the cost of all

templating submitting a bid for this Contract is in doubt as to the true
meaning of any part of the Plans, Specifications, or other proposed contract
documents, he may submit to the Engineer a written request for an interpreta-
tion thereof. The person submitting the request will be responsible for
its prompt delivery. Any interpretation of the proposed documents will be
-z..in
made only by written addendum duly issued or delivered to each person
receiving a set of such documents. The Owner will not be responsible
for any other explanations or interpretations of the proposed documents.
3.39. Standard Manufacturer. Wherever the terms "standard," "recognized"
or "reputable" manufacturer are used, they shall be construed as meaning
manufacturers who have been engaged in the business of fabricating
materials, equipment or supplies of the nature called for by the Specifica-
tions for a reasonable period of time prior to the date set for opening
of bids, and who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Owner that
said manufacturer has successfully installed equipment, materials, or
supplies of the type proposed to be furnished in at least three (3)
instances and that the performance of such materials, equipment or
supplies has been satisfactory. Manufacturers who have been engaged in
the business of manufacturing said materials, equipment or supplies for
a period of over twelve (12) months prior to the date fixed for opening
bids shall, prima facie, be deemed to have been engaged in such business
for a reasonable length of time.
3.40. "Or Equal" Clause. Whenever, in any section of the Contract Doc-
uments, Plans or Specifications, any article, material, or equipment is
defined by describing a proprietary product, or by using the name of a
manufacturer or vendor, the term "or approved equal," if not inserted,
shall be implied unless specifically stated to the contrary. The
specific article, material, or equipment mentioned shall be understood
as indicating the type, function, minimum standard of design, efficiency,
and quality desired and shall not be construed in such a manner as to
exclude manufacturers! products of comparable quality, design and
efficiency.
Materials or equipment will not be considered as equal where
their use requires extensive modifications to building, structures,
piping or other adjacent equipment or construction.
J.4l. Materials and Workmanship. Unless otherwise stipulated in the
Specifications, all workmanship, equipment, materials and articles incor-
porated in the work covered by the Contract are to be new and of the
best grade of their respective kinds for the purpose. The Contractor
shall furnish to the Engineer, for his approval, the name of the
manufacturer of machinery, mechanical or other equipment, which he
contemplates installing, together with their performance capacities
and other pertinent information.
If not otherwise provided, material or work called for in this
Contract shall be furnished and performed in accordance with well-known
established practice and standards recognized by architects, engineers
and the trade.
When required by the Specifications, or when called for by the
Engineer, the Contractor shall furnish, for approval, full information
concerning the materials or articles which he contemplates incorporating
in the work. Samples of materials shall be submitted for approval
when so directed. Machinery, equipment, materials, and articles installed
or used without such approval shall be at the risk of subsequent rejection.
All materials and workmanship shall be guarantied by the Contractor and
the Surety for a period of one (1) year from date of final acceptance
of the work as defined in Article 3.62 of these Specifications.
No material of any kind shall be installed in the project
until it has been inspected and approved by the Engineer. All material
rejected shall be immediately removed from the site of the work and not
again offered for inspection. Any materials or workmanship found at any
time to be defective shall be remedied at once regardless of previous
inspections.
At any time during the course of construction of this project,
when, in the opinion of the Engineer, provisions of the Plans, Specifica-
tions, or Contract provisions are being violated by the Contractor or his
employees, the Engineer shall have the right and authority to order all
construction to cease or material to be removed, until arrangements
satisfactory to the Engineer are made by the Contractor for resumption
of the work in compliance with the provisions of the Contract.
3.42. Shop Drawings. The Contractor, as soon as possible after approval
of the source and the purchase of items of materials and equipment, shall
submit to the Engineer all shop or setting drawings and schedules required
for the work, including those pertaining to structural and reinforcing
steel. The Contractor shall make any corrections in the drawings
required by the Engineer and resubmit same without delay.
Four (4) final copies of all shop or setting drawings shall be
submitted to the Engineer, who, after checking, will retain two (2)
copies and return two (2) copies to the Contractor. The Engineer's
approval of shop drawings of equipment and material shall extend only to
determining the conformity of such equipment and materials with the
general features of the design drawings prepared by the Engineer. It
shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to determine the
correctness of all dimensions and minor details of such equipment and
materials so that when incorporated in the work, correct operation will
result. Approval by the Engineer will not relieve the Contractor of
any responsibility for the proper performance or functioning of the
completed project.
3.43. Authority of Engineer. The Engineer in this Contract is acting as
an agent for the Owner to protect the interests of the Owner and to insure
that the Contractor's work is done in full compliance with the terms of
the Contract.
The Engineer shall supervise and direct all work included in
this Contract. He shall decide all questions which may arise as to the
fulfillment of the Contract on the part of the Contractor, and his
decisions thereon shall be final and conclusive.
If, in the opinion of the Owner or his authorized represent-
atives, the work being done by the Contractor is in violation in any way
with the terms of the Contract, he shall notify the Engineer, and when it
is agreed by both the Owner and the Engineer that there is such violation,
the Engineer shall forthwith cause the Contractor to cease said violation.
On projects where the Engineer does not maintain a resident
3 - 12
representative at the work at all times, the inspector or other authorized
representative may be maintained at the work by the Owner, provided that
such inspector or representative shall be acting with the full knowledge
and approval of the Engineer. In any case, the Engineer shall notify the
Contractor as to whom the authorized representative will be.
No resident engineer or inspector or representative appointed
by the Owner or by the Engineer or from the Engineer's staff shall have
any power to waive any of the conditions or obligations of this Contract,
or to sign any change orders, or to sign any pay estimates or any other
official papers without the express written consent and approval of both
the Engineer and the Owner.
3.44. Testing of Materials. Attention of the Contractors is directed to
the materials tests required on this Contract. All laboratory tests shall
be made by an approved testing laboratory. The specific test requirements
are set forth in the section of these Specifications which describes the
materials or apparatus to be tested. The Contractor shall furnish the
materials to be tested and shall pay transportation charges on any samples
required to be submitted to the laboratory.
Where certified test reports are required to be furnished by the
manufacturer, the Contractor shall furnish duplicate copies of the reports
before the material will be approved for use.
Unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions, the Con-
tractor shall pay the cost of all laboratory testing and shall furnish
incidental materials and labor required at the site in connection with
the tests.
3.45. Staking Out Work.
a. Lines and grades. --The Engineer will establish lines and grades
required for proper execution of the work. The Contractor
shall, without additional cost to the owner, give such assistance
and provide such ladders, spikes, nails, and stakes as may be
required by the Engineer in establishing lines and grades.
The Contractor shall adjust his construction operations at
such points and for such reasonable time as may be necessary
to assist with the work of transferring lines and marking
points for line and grade.
The Engineer will provide the instrument man essential to
orderly performances of the work. The balance of each survey
party shall be furnished by the Contractor. Two (2) competent
men from the contractor's staff will be required for each
instrument man furnished by the Engineer.
Assistants from the contractor's staff and considered
unsatisfactory by the Engineer shall be replaced upon delivery
of a written request to do so by the Engineer. Delays in pro-
viding necessary field assistants will relieve the Engineer
and the Owner from the obligation to provide timely stakeout.
The Contractor shall keep the Engineer advised, on a current
basis, of construction survey requirements so that survey
work may be coordinated with the Contractor's sequence of
operations.
b. Replacement of survey stakes. --Where construction operations
require removal of the engineers stakes or other survey marks,
the Contractor shall reference such points in an approved
manner. Survey stakes or marks established by the Engineer
shall be preserved by the Contractor unless he is authorized to
remove them, and in case of their destruction or removal by the
Contractor's forces, they will be replaced by the Engineer at
the Contractor's expense. The actual cost to the Engineer of
replacing survey stakes or marks will be deducted from payments
due the Contractor. Such actual cost will include a reasonable
charge for payroll supplies and equipment plus actual overhead.
3.46. Lines and Grades. All work done under this Contract shall be done
to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the Plans. The Contractor
shall keep the Engineer informed in writting a reasonable time in advance
of the times and places at which he wishes to work in order that lines
and grades may be furnished and necessary measurements for record and
payment be made with the minimum of inconvenience to the Engineer and of
delay to the Contractor.
3.47. Work Done Without Lines or Grades. Any work done without having
been properly located and established by base lines, offset stakes, bench
marks, or other basic reference points located, established or checked by
the Engineer, may be ordered removed and replaced at the Contractor's cost
and expense.
3.48. Excess Cost of Field Engineering and Inspection. The attention of
contractors is directed to the following provision covering payment of
field engineering and inspection costs of this project.
The Proposal Form and Contract Form of the Contract includes a
stated date of final completion and acceptance of all work covered under
this Contract. Resident engineering and supervision and inspection will
be supplied during this period at no cost to the Contractor. However, for
each calendar day that the work remains uncompleted and unaccepted beyond
the time limit allowed in the Contract, the cost of resident engineers and
inspectors regularly assigned on this Contract will be charged to the Con-
tractor by the Engineer and payment shall be made to the Engineer on the
following basis:
Resident Engineers $50.00 per calendar day
Inspectors $45.00 per calendar day
Above amounts to cover actual payroll costs, payroll overhead items, and
any and all other expenses incurred by the Engineer.
On contracts where no regular resident engineer is assigned,
the Contractor will be charged $50.00 per calendar day, plus expenses, for
trips required of an engineer to make inspections after the stated comple-
tion date. These costs are included in the liquidated damages described
in Article 2.
3.49. Inspection. The Engineer and his authorized representatives shall
at all times have access to the work wherever it is in preparation of
progress, and the Contractor shall provide proper facilities for such
access and for inspection.
The Engineer shall have the right to reject materials and work-
manship which are defective, or require their correction. Rejected work-
manship shall be satisfactorily corrected, and rejected materials shall
be removed from the premises without charge to the Owner. If the Con-
tractor does not correct such condemned work and remove rejected
materials within a reasonable time fixed by written notice, the Owner
may remove them and charge the expense to the Contractor.
Should it be considered necessary or advisable by the Engineer
at any time before final acceptance of the entire work to make an
examination of work already completed, by removing or tearing out same,
the Contractor shall, on request, promptly furnish all necessary
facilities, labor and materials. If such work is found to be defective
in any material respect, due to fault of the Contractor or his sub-
contractors, he shall defray all the expenses of such examination and
of satisfactory reconstruction. If, however, such work is found to
meet the requirements of the Contract, the actual cost of labor and
materialncocsarily involved in the examination and replacement, plus
fifteen (15) percent, will be allowed the Contractor.
All materials to be incorporated in the work, all labor per-
formed, all tools, appliances, and methods used shall be subject to the
inspection and approval of the Engineer.
If the Engineer shall point out to the Contractor, his foreman
or agent any neglect or disregard of the Contract provisions, such neglect
or disregard shall be remedied and further defective work be at once
discontinued.
The Contractor shall execute the work only in the presence of
the Engineer or authorized inspectors, unless provision has been made for
the work to proceed without complete engineering supervision or inspection.
The presence of the Engineer or inspector shall in no way relieve the Con-
tractor of the responsibility of this Contract or be any warrant for the
furnishing of bad material or poor workmanship.
The inspection and supervision of the work by the Engineer is
intended to aid the Contractor in applying labor, materials and work-
manship in compliance with the Contract provisions. Such inspection and
supervision, however, shall not operate to release the Contractor from
any of his Contract obligations.
3.50. Superintendence and Labor. The Contractor shall give his personal
superintendence to the work or have at the site of the work at all times
a competent foreman, superintendent, or other representative satisfactory
to the Owner and the Engineer and having written authority to act for the
Contractor.
Insofar as it is practicable and excepting in the event of
discharge by the Contractor, or in the event of proven incompetence, the
individual who has been accepted to represent the Contractor shall so act
and shall follow without delay instructions of the Engineer in the prosecu-
tion of the work in conformity with the Contract,
The Contractor shall employ none but competent and skilled
workmen and foremen in the conduct of work on this Contract. The Engineer
shall have the authority to order the removal from the work of any Con-
tractorts employee who refuses or neglects to observe any of the provi-
sions of these Plans or Specifications, or who is thought by the Engineer
and the Owner to be incompetent, unfaithful, abusive, threatening, or
disorderly in his conduct, and any such person shall not again be employed
on this project without perm_ssion of the Engineer.

a plant site, depository for materials, or as a spoil site without the
written authorization of the Owner (or his agent) of the land, a copy of
which authorization shall be filed with the Owner.
3.52. Responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall cover and
protect his work from damages, and all injury to same before the comple-
tion and final acceptance of the work shall be made good by him. He
shall be solely answerable for all damage to the Owner or the property
of the Owner, to other contractors or other employees of the Owner, to
the neighboring premises, or to any private or personal property, due to
improper, illegal, or negligent conduct by himself or his subcontractors,
employees, or agents, or in the execution of the work covered by this
Contract, or to any defect, in, or improper use of, any scaffolding,
shoring, apparatus, ways, works, machinery or plant.

construction shall be paid by the Contractor and its cost merged in the
Contract price.
3.56. Work in Bad Weather. No construction work shall be done during
stormy, freezing or inclement weather, except such as can be done satisfac-
torily, and in a manner to secure first class construction throughout, and
then only subject to permission of the Engineer.
3.57. Cleaning Up and Final Inspection. The Contractor shall at all times
keep the site of the work free from accumulations of waste material or
rubbish caused by his employees or work, and at the completion of the work,.
he shall remove all his rubbish from and about the work and all his tools,
equipment, scaffolding and surplus materials, and shall leave his work
clean and ready for use. In case of dispute, the Owner may remove the
rubbish and surplus material and charge the cost to the several contractors,
if more than one is employed on the project, in proportion to the amounts
as shall be determined to be just.
All sewers, conduits, pipes and appurtenances and all tanks,
pump wells, chambers, buildings and other structures shall be kept clean
during construction, and as the work or any part thereof approaches comple-
tion, the Contractor shall systematically and thoroughly clean and make any
needed repairs to them. He shall furnish at his own expense suitable tools
and labor for removing all water and cleaning out all dirt, mortar and
foreign substances. Any undue leakage of water into the structure, such
as to make the work, in the opinion of the Engineer, fall short of first
class work, shall be promptly corrected by the Contractor at his own
expense. Cleaning and repairs shall be arranged, so far as practicable,
to be completed upon finishing the construction work. Notice to begin the
final cleaning, repairing, if such is needed, will be given by the Engineer
who, at the same time, will make his final inspection of the work. The
Engineer will not approve the final estimate of any portion of the work
until after the final inspection is made and the work found to be satisfac-
tory.
3.58. Cutting and Patching. The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting
or patching of his work that may be required to make its several parts fit
together or to receive the work of other contractors shown upon, or rea-
sonably implied by, the Plans and Specifications for the completed project.

or any provision in the Contract Documents shall relieve the Contractor
of the responsibility for negligence or faulty materials or workmanship
within the extent and period provided by law.
3,61. Termination for Breach. In the event that any of the provisions
of this Contract are violated by the Contractor or by any of his sub-
contractors, the Owner may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
the Surety of his intention to terminate the Contract, and unless within
ten (10) days after the serving of such notice upon the Contractor such
violation shall cease and satisfactory arrangement for correction be
made, the Contract shall, upon the expiration of said ten (10) days,
cease and terminate. In the event of any such termination, the Owner
shall immediately serve notice thereof upon Surety and the Contractor,
and the Surety shall have the right to take over and perform the con-
tract, provided, however, that if the Surety does not commence perform-
ance thereof within thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing to
such Surety of notice of termination, the Owner may take over the work
and prosecute the same to completion for the account and at the expense
of the Contractor; and the Contractor and his Surety shall be liable to
the Owner for any excess cost thereby occasioned by the Owner.
3.62. Final Acceptance of the Work. The Contract shall be deemed as
having been finally accepted by the Owner when its governing body, by
formal resolution, approves the certification of completion issued by
the Engineer.
Use of part of the improvement by the Owner before completion
of the entire project is not to be construed by the Contractor as an
acceptance by the Owner of that part so used.
3.63. Beginning and Time of Completion of Work. The Contractor shall
commence work within fifteen (15) calendar days after award of the
Contract, and the rate of progress shall be such that the work shall have

expressly agrees that, in undertaking to complete the work within the
time therein fixed, he has taken into consideration and made allowances
3-18
for all hindrances and delays incidental to such work, whether growing
out of delays in securing materials or workmen or otherwise.
3,65. Extension of Time. Should the Contractor be delayed in the final
completion of the work by any act or neglect of the Owner, or by strikes,
fire, or other causes beyond the control of the Contractor, and which, in
the opinion of the Engineer, could have been neither anticipated nor
avoided, then an extension of time sufficient to compensate for the delay
may be granted by the Owner at its sole discretion,
Extension of time will not be granted for delays caused by inad-
equate construction force, rejection of inadequate shop drawings, or the
failure of the Contractor to place orders for equipment or materials a
sufficient time in advance to insure delivery when needed.
3.66. Liquidated Damages. In the event that the Contract has not been
completed within the specified time (including any approved time exten-
sions), the cost of engineering services as described in Paragraph 3.48

within the specified time unless specifically stated in the Special Provi-
sions.
1.67. Measurement of Work. If the Proposal for the work under this
Contract is on a unit price basis, the actual number of units of each
item of work to be constructed may be more or less than the corresponding
number given in the Proposal sheet or plan, but no variation will be made
in the Contract unit prices on that account. No extra measurement of any
kind will be allowed in measuring the units of work under this Contract,
but the actual units of work shall be considered, and all lengths will be
measured on the centerline of the work whether straight or curved. The
Contractor will be paid the Contract price for each unit of work done,
which price will include the cost of all work described in the unit
Specifications.
The method of measurement shall be as described in that part of
these Specifications covering the particular units of work or materials
furnished..
3.68. Payments. Not later than the third of each calendar month and at
the completion of the work under this Contract, the Contractor shall pre-
pare and submit to the Engineer a detailed estimate of the work performed
during the period, such estimate to be used after approval as a basis for
periodical and final payments.
Not later than the twentieth day of each calendar month, the
Owner will make partial payment to the Contractor on the basis of a duly
certified and approved estimate of the work performed by the Contractor
during the preceding calendar month. The Owner, at its discretion, may
include in such monthly estimates, payment for materials that will even-
tually be incorporated in the project, provided that such material is
suitably stored on the site of the project at the time of submission of
the estimate for payment. Payment for materials on hand but not in place,
unless otherwise provided in the Special Provisions, shall be based on the
Contractorts cost of such materials stored at the job site, as evidenced
by material bills and freight bills. No additional allowance will be made
for handling or drayage by the Contractor's forces, nor for overhead,
insurance, profit or other incidental costs. The Contractor shall, if
required by the Engineer, present certified copies of receipted bills and
freight bills for such materials. Such materials, when so paid for by
the Owner, shall not be removed from the project without written consent
of the Owner, and in case of default on the part of the Contractor, the
Owner may use or cause to be used by others these materials in construction
of the project.
The Owner will retain a percentage of the amount of each period-
ical estimate until final completion and acceptance by the Owner of all
work included in this Contract. The percentage retained shall be ten (10)
per cent or as stated in the Special Provisions of these Specifications.
Five (5) copies of a certified statement of the periodical and
final estimates will be submitted by the Engineer to the Owner for approval.
When approved, one (1) copy will be returned to the Contractor and the
remaining four (4) will be distributed by the Engineer.
Final payment of the percentage retained by the Owner of the
monthly periodical estimates and on the final estimate will be paid to
the Contractor not more than thirty (30) days after final acceptance of
the Owner of the work on this Contract.
3.69. Owner's Right to Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Applications
Thereof. The Owner may withhold, in addition to retained percentages,
from payment to the Contractor, such an amount and amounts as may be nec-
essary to cover:
(a)
Payments that may be earned or due for just claims for
labor or materials furnished in and about the work.
(b) For defective work not remedied.
(c) For failure of the Contractor to make proper payments
to his subcontractors or material suppliers.
(d) Reasonable doubt that the Contract can be completed
for the balance then unpaid.

and insurance and shall in no event exceed a specified
limit).
No claim for an addition to the Contract sum shall be valid
unless authorized as aforesaid.
In cases where a lump sum proposal is submitted by the Contractor
in excess of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) and the Engineer and the Owner
consider the proposal so submitted is excessive or unreasonable for the
changes or added work contemplated, the Owner reserves the right to request
a proposal for the same changed items from other contractors. If a proposal

TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACK FILL
5.01. General. All excavation shall be done by open cut from the surface
except when tunneling, jacking or boring is expressly permitted or required
by other portions of these Plans and Specifications. Trenches shall be
excavated along the lines and to the grades indicated on the Plans. Trench
widths shall be not less than the outside diameter of the pipe plus eight
(8) inches, nor more than the outside diameter of the pipe plus twenty-four
(24) inches, unless approved in writing by the Engineer. The trench shall
be graded to a depth which will provide covers and laying conditions as
described elsewhere in these Specifications. Where fill is required under
the pipe from whatever cause, it shall consist of good filling material
thoroughly compacted.
5.02. Rock Excavation. If the bottom of the trench is found to consist of
rock, shale or other similar material, such material shall be removed to a
depth of not less than four (4) inches below the normal trench depth and
the trench refilled with approved selected material, firmly compacted to
grade.
5.03. Water. Should running water, quicksand, or unstable subgrade condi-
tions be encountered, the work shall be pushed with the utmost vigor. Water
encountered in the trench shall be drained to sumps through wellpoints,
through drains, or by other methods devised by the Contractor, and approved
by the Engineer, which will provide a trench condition suitable for the pipe
laying and jointing operations. Where unstable subgrade conditions are
encountered, the Contractor may be required to excavate below subgrade
elevation and backfill the unstable area with approved granular material.
5.04. Blasting. Should blasting be employed in the excavating, all
necessary precautions must be taken to avoid damage to neighboring property.
Where other utility pipes or conduits exist in the immediate vicinity of the
trench, no blasting which might cause injury to such utilities shall be
conducted.
5.02. Classification of Excavation. All excavation will be considered as
unclassified, and the cost thereof shall be included in the unit prices bid
on the Proposal Form.
5.06. Handling Excavated Material. The material removed from trenches
shall be placed compactly on the sides of the excavation and kept up so as
not to endanger the work and be of as little inconvenience as possible to
public travel and abutting property. Entrance and driveways shall not be
closed to traffic for periods exceeding four (4) hours without written
approval from the Engineer. Raodways shall be kept open to traffic at all
times. Surplus material from excavations which cannot be replaced in the
trench shall be disposed of by the Contractor.
5.07. Timber Bracing. Any bracing of trench walls considered necessary for
the protection of workmen or improvements shall be provided by the Contrac-
tor.
5.1
5.08. Underground Obstructions. The Contractor shall preserve intact any
undergroud pipes or other utilities encountered during construction. In
case any such utilities or other structures are accidentially damaged they
shall be immediately restored to their original condition at no additional cost
to the Owner. The Contractor shall mark all culverts ahead of trenching to
alert the operator of excavating equipment.
5.09. Drainage. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to per-
form grading necessary to prevent surface water or irrigation water from
causing damage to the improvements.
5.10. Trench Backfill.
a. Paved Roadways. The backfill to be placed over and around
the pipe to a cover depth of one (1) foot shall consist of
material free from clods and stones and shall be placed by
hand in a manner which will prevent damage or displacement
of the pipe. The remainder of the material may contain a
limited amount of stones and rock, provided it is dispersed
in the surrounding material in a manner which will permit
satisfactory compaction. All backfill material shall be
carefully deposited in layers not to exceed eight (8)
inches in thickness (loose measurement), wetted to optimum
moisture and compacted to not less than ninety (90) percent
of the maximum density obtainable as determined by A.A.S.H.O.
Method T99_49.
b. Gravel Roadways or Road Barrow Pits. The material to be
placed over and around the pipe to a cover depth of one (1)
foot shall be as specified in the previous paragraph for
paved roadways. The trench may then be filled to a depth
of twelve (12) inches below the natural ground surface and
compacted by inundation. Water for flooding shall be applied
to trenches until settling has occurred and free water is
standing continuously along the trench. After the flooding
is completed, the remaining depression shall be filled and
slightly mounded with the balance of the excavated material
and compacted with approved heavy equipment.
c. State Highways. All backfill placed within the limits of
the asphaltic surfacing, gravel shoulders or shoulder slopes
of state highways shall consist of granular materiel approved
by the State Highway Maintenance Engineer and shall be
uniformly compacted to a density of ninety-five (95) percent
of the maximum density obtainable by A.A.S.H.O. Method T99-49.
Backfilling of lines laying outside of the extreme limits of
the highway shoulders may be done in the manner specified
for gravel roadways.
,.11. Resurfacing.
a. Paved Roadways. In areas where existing pavement is removed
in the excavation of the trench, it shall be replaced with
base course and pavement of thickness and quality at least
equal to that of the removed pavement. Prior to replacement
of pavement, the exposed edges shall be trimmed to a neat
straight line by means of a spade -bitted air hammer or
other approved devices. The edge shall be trimmed to a
width of not less than six (6) inches greater than the
trench top width. The top of the backfill material shall
be leveled before replacement of pavement to eliminate
variation in thicknesses of resurfacing.
b. Gravel Roadways. Prior to commencement of excavation in
gravel roadways, all gravel surfacing shall be carefully
removed and windrowed to one (1) shoulder. After pipe
laying and trench backfilling is completed, the material
shall be replaced on the roadway surface and compacted to
the satisfaction of the County Commissioners. If, in the
opinion of the Commissioners, an excessive amount of
granular material is lost prior to replacement on the road
surfaces, additional approved material shall be imported
to restore the roadway to its original condition.
5.12. Reseeding. All open trenches in state highway rights -of -way shall
be seeded with crested wheat (Fairway Strain) prior to final acceptance
of the project. Seeding shall be done in a manner satisfactory to the
Colorado State Highway Department District Office.
3.13. Backfill and Cleanup. Trench backfill and cleanup shall be per-
formed immediately after hydrostatic line tests are completed unless other-
wise approved by the Engineer. Under no circumstances shall more than
four (4) miles of trench remain open simultaneously in a single area of
operation. Any excavated materials shall be removed from paved road
surfaces each day, unless otherwise authorized by the Engineer.
5.14. Trench Maintenance. All trench backfill and resurfacing performed
in connection with this project shall be maintained in satisfactory condi-
tion by the Contractor for a period of one (1) year after final completion
of the work and acceptance by the Owner. A bond in the amount of one (1)
percent of the Contract amount shall be furnished to the Owner prior to
final payment to assure faithful performance of this work. At the option
of the Contractor, trench maintenance may be subcontracted to the respec-
tive county. Such contract shall be submitted in writing to the Owner
and approval obtained prior to release of the bond.
5.15. Replacing Signs and Mail Boxes. Signs and mail boxes required to
be removed for construction operations shall be replaced not later than the
same day.
5.16. Measurement and Payment. Payment for all work described in this
Article, including granular bedding material where required, shall be

STEEL PIPE INSTALLATION
9.01. General. Airing loading, transportation, and unloading, every
precaution shall be taken to prevent injury of the pipe and the wrapping.
No pipe shall be dropped from cars or trucks or allowed to roll down
skids without proper restraint. Each pipe shall rest upon suitable pads,
strips, skids, or blocks during transportation and while awaiting installa-
tion in the field, and shall be securely wedged or tied in place. Padding
shall be used on car stakes and skids to prevent abrasion of the wrapping
during transportation and handling. Double slings shall be used at all
times when handling the pipe on the job site. Any pipe which is damaged
shall be rejected or repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer before
installation.
9.02. Laying Water Lines.. Each section of pipe in trenches shall be placed
on firm, original ground surface free from rocks, sharp edges, and spongy
material in the trench bed for the full length of its barrel with recesses
excavated to accommodate the joints. Any pipe that is disturbed after
laying shall be taken up and relaid. The interior of all pipe shall be
thoroughly Cleaned of all foreign matter before being lowered into the
trench and shall be kept clean during the laying -operation by means of
plugs or other approved methods. No pipe shall be laid when trench or
weather conditions are unsuitable for such work. At all times, when work
is not in progress, all open ends of pipes and fittings shall be securely
closed so that no trench water, dirt or other foreign materials will enter
the pipe or fittings.
Any section of pipe, fittings, valves or hydrants already laid
and found to be defective, shall be taken up and replaced without addi-
tional expense to the Owner.
The subgrade upon which the pipe is placed shall consist of
materials suitable for supporting the pipe without excessive settlement
or stress development. In the event that rock or excessively spongy
materials are encountered, they shall be removed to a depth of not less
than four (4) inches below the bottom cf the proposed lines and replaced
with an approved material from the upper portion cf the excavation and
mechanically compacted to grade. If no suitable material is available
from the upper portion of the excavation, approved material shall be
imported to the job site.
9.03. Anchorage of Bends Tees, Plugs and Valves. Reaction of thrust -
backing shall be provided on all pipes, tees plugs, caps, valves, hydrants
and bends of twenty-two and one-half (22 1/2) degrees, or more. Such
anchorage shall be constructed of concrete and approved by the Engineer.
9.04. Permissible Deflection at Joints. Wherever necessary to deflect
pipe from a straight line either in a vertical or horizontal plane to
avoid obstructions, or where radius curves are permitted, the degree of
deflection shall be approved by the Engineer. In general, the maximum
allowable centerline deflection at joints shall not exceed three (3)
degrees.
9.0,5. Deviations for Utility Structures, Wherever existing utility struc-
tures, conduits, ducts, pipes or other obstructions to grade and alignment
of the pipeline are encountered, they shall be permanently supported,
protected, removed, relocated or reconstructed by the Contractor through
the co-operation of the owner of the utility structure involved.
9.06. Depth of Cover. All steel pipes shall be laid with the following
minimum protective covers:
Diameter Cover
20", 22" or 24" 3' - 0"
18" 3' - 0"
16" 3! - 3"
14" 31 - 6"
Other 4' - 6"
Measurement of covers shall be made from the nearest ground
surface rather than by vertical measurement only.
When pipes are placed below river crossings, canals or other
water courses, the preceeding covers shall apply as vertical minimums,
however, the minimum horizontal distance from pipeline to side of ditch
banks will be eight (8) feet, zero (0) inches.
9.07. Hydrostatic Tests. After the pipeline is laid, backfilled to sprng
line and center loaded and blocked as necessary with joints left open for
visual inspection, each section shall be subjected to hydrostatic tests.
Test pressures shall be 200 psi or the maximum static pressure plus 50 psi,
whichever is greater, In computing hydrostatic pressures no allowance
will be made for pressure reductions accomplished by means of pressure
reducing valves or other mechanical devices.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment and shall
perform all work required in connection with the tests.
The required pressure shall be measured at the point of highest
elevation and shall be maintained without loss until the test section is
inspected and approved by the Engineer,
Prior to performance of the test the pipeline shall be completely
filled with water, Air shall be expelled by means of air relief valves,
blowoff valves, the special one (1) inch plugged stubs provided for that
purpose or other means devised by the Contractor and approved by the Engi-
neer.
Airing performance of the leakage test all joints and appurtenances
shall be examined for leaks, Any leaks detected shall be repaired by the
Contractor.
In the event that leaks are found during the pressure test, or
the test pressure cannot be maintained for the required period, any
necessary repairs shall be made and the test repeated until compliance
is ascertained.
Pipeline testing shall be conducted in increments as construction
9 2
progresses. In no case shall such increments exceed two (2) miles. The
construction for one (1) two (2) mile increment may be underway simulta-
neously with the testing of a previous increment.
2.08. Sterilization of Lines. Before being placed in service, all new
water lines shall be chlorinated. The Contractor shall furnish all equip-
ment, labor, materials and water for the proper disinfection of the water
lines. Disinfection shall be accomplished by chlorination.
The lines shall be flushed prior to chlorination as thoroughly
as possible with the water pressure available.
A chlorine -water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution
feed chlorinating device. The chlorine solution shall be applied at one
end of the pipeline through a tap in such a manner that one end of the
pipeline is filled with water. The dosage applied to the water entering
the pipe shall be at least 50 ppm, or enough to meet the requirements of
the following paragraph.
Chlorinated water shall be retained in the pipeline long enough
to destroy all non-sporeforming bacteria. This period shall be at least
twenty-four (24) hours. After the chlorinated water has been retained
for that period, the chlorine residual at the pipe extremities and at
other representative points shall be at least 10 ppm. This procedure
shall be repeated as necessary until samples of water as determined by
the Engineer show the lines to be sterile.
Airing the process of chlorinating the pipelines, all valves
or other appurtenances shall be operated while the lines are filled with
heavily chlorinated water.
Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly
flushed from the pipelines by adding additional water at the end of the
lines. Should the initial treatment fail to produce satisfactory disinfec-
tion of the lines, as evidenced by chlorine residual, the chlorination
procedure shall be repeated until acceptable results are obtained and
approval secured from local health department representatives.
Chemical tests for chlorine residual or bacteriological tests
shall be made at the expense of the Contractor.
9.09. Joint Bonding. All joints shall be bonded to provide a continuous
conductor by means of Nov 6 copper wire installed by the Cadweld Process.
Bonding shall be performed prior to wrapping or pouring of joints.
9.10. Insulated Joints e Insulating gaskets shall be provided at the
connection to the existing steel line, at corporations for service connec-
tions, at proposed storage tanks, or at any other locations where possible
conductors are connected to the proposed pipelines.
9.11. Field Joints. All field joints shall be protected by one of the
following methods:
1. Hot pour to achieve protection equal to that of the coating
used on the pipe exterior.
9-3
2. Two (2) wraps of six (6) inch wide J i M. Daratape #W800 or
Protecto wrap #110.
9.12. Removal of Air. In the event that air is admitted into the pipe-
line after being expelled for the hydrostatic tests such air shall be
removed prior to completion of the system or acceptance by the Owner.
The air may be removed by the one (1) inch stubs provided for that purpose,
air relief valves, blowoff valves or other means devised by the Contractor.
In no case shall the system be placed in operation prior to the removal
of all air.
2.13. Service Taps. Service connections may be made to the steel line
by means of the one (1) inch stubs furnished in the pipe. Wherever
possible corporations shall be installed prior to testing the lines so
that the connection can be tested with the pipeline.
9.14. Measurement and Payment. Payment for all work described in this
Section shall be included in the Contractorts unit bid price shown in the
Proposal form. Measurement shall be made along the centerline of the
pipe through all valves and fittings. Payment shall include all fittings

ASBESTOS CEMENT PIPE INSTALLATION
10.01. General. During loading, transportation and unloading, every
precaution shall be taken to prevent injury of the pipe and the wrapping.
No pipe shall be dropped from cars or trucks or allowed to roll down
skids without proper restraint. Each pipe shall rest upon suitable pads,
strips, skids or blocks during transportation and while awaiting installa-
tion in the field, and shall be securely wedged or tied in place. Padding
shall be used on car stakes and skids to prevent abrasion of the wrapping
during transportation and handling. Double slings shall be used at all
times when handling the pipe on the job site. Any pipe which is damaged
shall be rejected or repaired to the satisfaction of the Engineer before
installation.
10.02. Laying Water Lines. Pipe shall be laid on firm soil cut through
and even to afford firm bearing for the full length of the barrel of
the pipe, or on compacted earth mounds at the option of the Contractor
in accordance with the following paragraphs.
10.03. Pipe Laid on Trench Bottom. Pipe may be laid on a trench bottom
containing coupling holes and shaped to provide continuous contact with
the pipe between coupling holes. The trench bottom between couplings
shall be made flat true and even to grade so as to provide continuous
contact with the pipe prior to lowering of the pipe into the trench.
Coupling holes of the proper depth and width to allow assembly of the
couplings and prevent the coupling from resting on the hole bottom shall
also be dug prior to lowering the pipe into the trench.
10.04. Pipe Laid on Mounds. Pipe ten (10) inches and smaller in
diameter may be laid on earth mounds and held in correct alignment by
securing with earth carefully tamped under and on each side of the pipe
at mound locations. Earth mounds shall be of selected damp backfill
material tamped in place.
Earth mounds shall vary in size with pipe diameter and the
nature of the backfill material. They shall conform to the dimensions
supplied by the pipe manufacturer and approved by the Engineer.
Each pipe shall be laid on two (2) mounds with the center of
each mound placed one -fifth (1/5) of the pipe length from each end.
The trench bottom shall be excavated to a minimum of two (2)
inches below the bottom of the outside of the pipe barrel and two (2)
inches below the bottom of the coupling. The earth mounds shall be
tamped firmly in place and carried to a height which will allow for
placement of the pipe so as to maintain, prior to backfilling, a minimum
clearance of two (2) inches between the trench bottom and the pipe cou-
pling.
Prior to backfilling, selected material not frozen, free from
rocks, stones, lumps or other objectionable matter and approved by the
Engineer, shall be deposited in the trench uniformly on both sides of
10 - 1
the pipe for the full width of the trench and to the horizontal diameter
of the full length of pipe. This backfill material shall be tamped in
four (4) inch layers and shall be sufficiently damp to permit thorough
compaction under and on each side of the pipe to provide support free
from voids. Additional backfill material shall then be placed in accord-
ance with the requirements of Article 5.
10.05. Jointing Pipe. Each pipe joint shall be sealed with an asbestos
cement coupling of the same pressure rating as the pipe. The machined
ends of the pipe and couplings to be jointed shall be wiped clean
immediately before jointing the pipes. The assembly of the couplings
shall be made as recommended by the manufacturer. On completion of the
coupling pipe, ends shall be separated one-fourth (1/4) inch to allow
for expansion.
After assembling the coupling the rubber ring location shall
be checked with a suitable gauge. Both rings for the full circumference
of the pipe shall be located a distance from the coupling ends recommended
by the manufacturer of the couplings.
If the couplings requiring the use of spacers to maintain end
separation are used, the spacers shall be left in place for at least
five (5) joints preceeding the joint being made to prevent displacement
of previous joints.
10.06. Subgrade. In the event that rock or excessively spongy materials
are encountered, they shall be removed to a depth of not less than four
(4) inches below the bottom of the proposed pipe and replaced with an
approved material from the upper portion of the excavation. If no
approved material is available from the upper portion of the trench,
suitable material, approved by the Engineer, shall be imported.
10.07. Pipe Laying. No pipe shall be laid when trench or weather condi-
tions are unsuitable for such work. At all times when work is in progress,
all open ends of the pipes and fittings shall be securely closed so that
no dirt, trench water or other foreign materials will enter the pipet
10.08. Defective Work. Any section of pipe, valves, fittings, hydrants
or other work already completed and found to be defective shall be taken
up and replaced at the expense of the Contractor.
10.09. Anchorage of Bends, Tees, Plugs and Valves. Reaction of thrust -
backing shall be provided on all pipes, tees, plugs, caps, valves,
hydrants and bends of twenty-two and one-half (22?) decrees, or more.
Such anchorage shall be constructed of concrete and approvdd.0y the
Engineer.
10.10. Permissible Deflection at Joints. Wherever necessary to deflect
pipe from a straight line either in a vertical or horizontal plane to
avoid obstructions, or where radius curves are permitted, the degree of
deflection shall be approved by the Engineer. In general, the maximum
allowable centerline deflection at joints shall not exceed four (4)
degrees.
10.11. Deviations for Utility Structures. Wherever existing utility
structures, conduits, ducts, pipes or other obstructions to grade and
alignment of the pipeline are encountered, they shall be permanently
supported, protected, removed, relocated or reconstructed by the Contrac-
tor through the co-operation of the owner of the utility structure
involved.
10.12. Depth of Pipe Cover. All asbestos cement pipes shall be laid with
the following protective covers:
Diameter Cover
1 rr 3� _ 3n
14" 3' - 6"
12" 3r - 9"
10" 4' - 0"
8" 41 - 6u
Err 4,: - 6rr
t�rr 4t - 6"
Prior to filling or testing the pipe shall be center loaded so
that the couplings shall be exposed while line is under test and visually
inspected by the Engineer.
Measurement of covers shall be made from the nearest ground
surface or culvert rather than by vertical measurement only, unless other-
wise approved by the Engineer.
Where pipes are placed below river crossings, canals or other
water courses, the preceeding covers shall apply as vertical minimums.
The minimum horizontal distance from the pipe to the side of the channel
shall be eight (8) feet.
10.13. Hydrostatic Tests. After the pipeline is laid, blocked and center -
loaded, each section shall be subjected to hydrostatic tests with joints
exposed. Test pressures shall be not less than the pressure class of the
pipe, plus twenty-five (25) pounds per square inch. Test pressures
should not exceed pressure class of the pipe, plus fifty (50) pounds
per square inch.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary equipment and shall
perform all work required in connection with the tests.
The required minimum test pressure shall be measured at the
point of highest elevation. Maximum pressures shall be measured at
points of lowest elevation. Test pressures shall be maintained without
loss for not less than three (3) hours or until the test section is
inspected and approved, whichever is greater.
Prior to performance of the test the pipeline shall be
completely filled with water for a period of seventy-two (72) hours.
Air shall be expelled by means of air relief valves, blowoff valves,
service connection or other means devised by the Contractor. Wherever
necessary taps shall be made at high points not provided with air reliefs;
after expelling air such taps shall be plugged.
10.14. Sterilization of Lines. Before being placed in service, all new
water lines shall be chlorinated. The Contractor shall furnish all
equipment, labor, materials and water for the proper disinfection of
the water lines. Disinfection shall be accomplished by chlorination.
The lines shall be flushed prior to chlorination as thoroughly
as possible with the water pressure available.
The chlorine -water mixture shall be applied by means of a
solution feed chlorinating device. The chlorine solution shall be applied
at one (1) end of the pipeline through a tap in such a manner that one
end of the pipeline is filled with water. The dosage applied to the
water entering the pipe shall be at least 50 ppm, or enough to meet the
requirements of the following paragraph.
Chlorinated water shall be retained in the pipeline long enough
to destroy all non-sporeforming bacteria. This period shall be at least
twenty-four (24) hours. After the chlorinated water has been retained
for that period, the chlorine residual at the pipe extremities and at
other representative points shall be at least 10 ppm. This procedure
shall be repeated as necessary until samples of water as determined by
the Engineer show the lines to be sterile.
During the process of chlorinating the pipelines, all valves
or other appurtenances shall be operated while the lines are filled with
heavily chlorinated water.
Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly
flushed from the pipelines by adding additional water at the end of the
lines. Should the initial treatment fail to produce satisfactory
disinfection of the lines, as evidenced by chlorine residual, the
chlorination procedure shall be repeated until acceptable results are
obtained and approval secured from local health department represent-
atives.
Chemical tests for chlorine residual or bacteriological tests
shall be made at the expense of the Contractor.
In the event that leaks are found during the performance of
the pressure test, or it is not possible to maintain the test pressure
without loss for the stipulated period repairs shall be made and the
test repeated until compliance is ascertained.
Pipeline testing shall be conducted in increments as construc-
tion progresses. In no case shall such increments exceed two (2) miles.
The construction of one (1) two (2) mile increment may be underway
simultaneously with the testing of the previous increment.
10.15. Removal of Air. In the event that air is admitted to the pipe-
line after being expelled for the hydrostatic tests, such air shall be
removed prior to completion of the system and acceptance by the Owner.
The air may be removed by the methods described in Section 10.13. In
no case shall the system placed in operation prior to the removal of
the air.
10.16. Service Connections. Service connections may be made by means
of heavy tapped couplings or galvanized steel saddles. Where tapped
10 - 4

PLASTIC PIPE INSTALLATION
11.01. General. The Contractor shall exercise care in the handling,
loading, unloading and storing plastic pipe and fittings. The pipe and
fittings shall be stored under cover before use and shall be transported
on a vehicle with a bed long enough to allow the pipe to lay flat to avoid
undue bending or concentrated external load. Under no circumstances shall
the pipe be dragged in a manner which would cause scratching of the pipe
surface. An excessive amount of scratching on the surface of the pipe will
be considered cause for rejection.
11.02.' Pipe Laying. Each section of pipe in the trench shall rest upon
the pipe bed for the full length of its barrel. The bottom of the trench
shall be free from rocks, clods, or other sharp edged objects. Solvent
welded joints shall be given at least fifteen (15) minutes set-up curing
time before moving or handling. Pipe shall be snaked from side to side
of trench bottom to allow for thermal expansion and contraction. The
interior of the pipe shall have been thoroughly cleaned of all foreign
matter before being lowered into the trench and shall be kept clean during
laying operations by means of plugs or other approved methods. Plastic
pipe may be laid in a wet trench, provided joint welding and curing are
done prior to placing the pipe in the trench. After laying of the pipe
is completed, it shall be centerloaded with backfill to prevent arching
and whipping under pressure. Centerloading should be done carefully so
that joints will be completely exposed for examination during testing.
The subgrade upon which the pipe is placed shall consist of material
suitable for supporting the pipe without excessive settlement or stress
development. Plastic pipe joints shall be cemented with a solvent that
is recommended by the pipe manufacturer and all cutting, surface prepar-
ation and jointing shall be done in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
11.03. Hydrostatic Tests. After the pipe has been laid, backfilled to
spring line and center -loaded, a test pressure of not less than 175 psi
shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a manner
satisfactory to the Engineer. Joints shall be exposed during pressure
test. After the specified pressure has been reached the pump shall be
stopped and all exposed pipe fittings, valves, hydrants, joints and
appurtenances examined for leaks. Any visible leaks shall be repaired.
The installation will be considered acceptable for backfilling when the
specified test pressure has been maintained without loss for a period of
not less than three (3) hours or until the Engineer has inspected and
approved the test section, whichever is longer.
All tests and testing equipment shall be provided by the Contrac—
tor at no cost to the 0tuner. Prior to performance of the test all air
shall be expelled from the pipeline to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
This may be accomplished by means of air relief valves, blowoff valves,
hydrants or other means. If required, taps shall be made at high points
where air relief valves are not called for on the Plans. Such taps shall
be plugged after testing is complete.
11.04. Anchorage of Bends, Tees, Plugs and Valves. Reaction or thrust -
blocking shall be provided on all pipe, tees, bends, plugs, caps, valves
and hydrants of twenty-two and one-half (22 1/2) degrees, or more. Such
anchorage shall be constructed of concrete and approved by the Engineer.
11.05. Permiss;.ble Deflection at Joints. Wherever necessary to deflect
pipe from a straight line in either a vertical or horizontal plane, the
degree of deflection shall be approved by the Engineer. Deflection of the
pipe shall not be permitted until the jointing has been completed and the
specified curing time provided. In general, joints shall not be deflected
more than five (5) degrees.
11.06. Deviations for Utility Structures. Wherever existing utility
structures, conduits, ducts, pipes or other obstructions to grade and
alignment of the pipe are encountered, they shall be permanently supported,
protected, removed, relocated or reconstructed by the Contractor through
the co-operation of the owner of the utility structure involved.
11,07. Depth of Pipe Cover. All plastic pipe shall be laid with a protec-
tive cover of four (4) feet six (6) inches. Measurement of cover shall be
made from the nearest ground surface or culvert rather than by vertical
measurement only.
Where pipes are placed below river crossings, canals or other
water courses, the preceeding covers shall apply as vertical minimums.
The minimum horizontal distance from the pipe to the side of the channel
shall be eight (8) feet.
11.08. Sterilization of Lines. Before being placed in service, all new
water lines shall be chlorinated. The Contractor shall furnish all equip-
ment, labor, materials and water for the proper disinfection of the water
lines. Disinfection shall be accomplished by chlorination.
The lines shall be flushed prior to chlorination as thoroughly
as possible with the water pressure available.

twenty-four (24) hours. After the chlorinated water has been retained for
that period, the chlorine residual at the pipe extremities and at other
representative points shall be at least 10 ppm. This procedure shall be
repeated as necessary until samples of water, as determined by the Engineer,
show the lines to be sterile.
During the process of chlorinating the pipelines, all valves or
other appurtenances shall be operated while the lines are filled with
heavily chlorinated water.
Following chlorination, all treated water shall be thoroughly
flushed from the pipelines by adding additional water at the end of the

shall be made at the expense of the Contractor.
11.09. Backfilli.na. A hydrostatic pressure of not less than 30 psi shall
be maintained on plastic pipe at all times during backfilling.
11.10. Defective Work. Any section of pipe valves, fittings, hydrants
or other work already completed and found to be defective shall be taken
up and replaced by the Contractor.
11.11. Removal of Air. In the event that air is admitted to the pipeline
after being expelled for the hydrostatic tests, such air shall be removed
prior to completion of the system and acceptance by the Owner. The air
may be removed by the methods described in Section 10.13. In no case shall
the system be placed in operation prior to the removal of the air.
11.12. Service Connections. All service connections shall be made by
means of moulded tees, reducers or other approved fittings. The use of
plastic saddles will not be permitted. Wherever possible corporation
stops shall be placed in plastic lines before conducting hydrostatic tests.
