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

Determinations of the actual quantities and classifications of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR will
be made by PROFESSIONAL in accordance with Paragraph 9.10.
11.9.2. Each unit price will be deemed to include an amount considered by CONTRACTOR to be
adequate to cover CONTRACTOR's overhead and profit for each separately identified item.
11.9.3. Where the quantity of any item of Unit Price Work performed by CONTRACTOR differs
materially and significantly from the estimated quantity of such item indicated in the Agreement and there is
no corresponding adjustment with respect to any other item of Work and if CONTRACTOR believes that
CONTRACTOR has incurred additional expense as a result thereof, CONTRACTOR may make a claim for an
increase in the Contract Price in accordance with Article 11 if the partes are unable to agree as to the amount
of any such increase.

12.1. The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. Any request for an extension in
the Contract Time shall be made in writing and delivered to PROFESSIONAL and Project Manager within seven
(7) calendar days of the occurrence first happening and resulting in the claim. Written supporting data will be
submitted to PROFESSIONAL and Project Manager within fifteen (15) calendar days after such occurrence
unless the Project Manager allows additional time. All claims submitted by CONTRACTOR for adjustments to
the Contract Time must set forth in detail the reasons for and causes of the delay and clearly indicate why the
subject delay was beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault.
12.2. If CONTRACTOR is delayed at any time in the performance, progress, commencement, or
completion of the Work by any act or neglect of OWNER or PROFESSIONAL, or by an employee of either, or by
any separate CONTRACTOR employed by OWNER, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes,
fire, unavoidable casualties, utility conflicts which could not have been identified or foreseen by CONTRACTOR
using reasonable diligence, or any causes beyond CONTRACTOR's control or fault, then the Contract Time shall
be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as OWNER may determine. CONTRACTOR shall be
entitled to an extension of time for such causes only for the number of days of delay which OWNER may
determine to be due solely to such causes and only to the extent such occurrences actually delay the
completion of the Work and then only if CONTRACTOR shall have strictly complied with all the requirements of
the Contract Documents. Provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Contract Documents to the
contrary, no interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay in the performance, progress,
commencement or completion of the Work for any cause whatsoever, including those for which OWNER or
PROFESSIONAL may be responsible in whole or in part, shall relieve CONTRACTOR of its duty to perform or
give rise to any right to damages or additional compensation from OWNER. CONTRACTOR's sole and exdusive
remedy against OWNER for interruption, interference, inefficiency, suspension or delay of any aspect of the
Work shall be the right to seek an extension to the Contract Time in accordance with the procedures set forth
herein.

Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the number of units completed.
Application for Progress Payment:
14.2. At least twenty (20) calendar days before the date established for each progress payment (but
not more often than once a month), CONTRACTOR shall submit to PROFESSIONAL for review an application for
Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the work completed as of the date of the application

requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably
stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing, the Application for Payment shall also be
accompanied by a bill of sale, invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the
materials and equipment free and clear of all liens and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered
by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWNER's interest therein, all of which
will be satisfactory to OWNER. Payment is subject to a ten percent (10%) retainage that will be held until the
final payment or acceptance by OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as
stipulated in the Agreement.
CONTRACTOR~ Wa/TantyofTltle:
14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work, materials and equipment covered
by any Application for Payment, whether incorporated in the Project or not, will pass to OWNER no later than
the time of payment free and clear of all Liens.
Review of Applications for Progress Payment:
14.4. PROFESSIONAL will, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of each Application for Payment,
either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the application to OWNER, or retum the
application to CONTRACTOR indicating in writing PROFESSIONAL's reasons for refusing to recommend
payment. In the latter case, CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the application.
OWNER shall, within thirty-one calendar days of presentation to him of the application for payment with
PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of the amount for payment, pay CONTRACTOR amount recommended.
14.5. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will
constitute a representation by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER, based on PROFESSIONAL's on-site observations of
the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design PROFESSIONAL and on PROFESSIONAL's review
of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has progressed to the
point indicated; that, to the best of PROFESSIONAL's knowledge, information and belief, the quality' of the
Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning
whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion, to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract
Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10.

I
I
I

of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment PROFESSIONAL will not thereby
be deemed to have represented that exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections have been made to check
the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to PROFESSIONAL in
the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might
entitle CONTRACTOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR.
14.6. PROFESSIONAL's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation
by PROFESSIONAL to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRACTOR's being entitled to final payment
as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled.
14.7. PROFESSIONAL may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if, in
PROFESSIONAL's opinion, it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. PROFESSIONAL may
also refuse to recommend any such payment, or, because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results
of subsequent inspections or tests, nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may
be necessary in PROFESSIONAL's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because:
14.7.1. the Work is defective, or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or
replacement.
14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Written Amendment or Change Order.
14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defective Work or complete Work in accordance with
paragraph 13.14. or
14.7.4. of PROFESSIONAL's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in
paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive.
OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by PROFESSIONAL because claims
have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's performance or furnishing of the Work or
Uens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a set-off
against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy
to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action.

14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall
notify OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items
specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that PROFESSIONAL issue a certificate of
Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall
make an Inspection of the Work to determine the status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider
the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons
therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers the Work substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will prepare and deliver
to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fIX the date of Substantial Completion.
There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final
payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written
objection to PROFESSIONAL as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such
objections. PROFESSIONAL concludes that the Work is not substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within
fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing. stating

the reasons therefor. If, after consideration of OWNER's objections, PROFESSIONAL considers the Work
substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and
CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be
completed or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as PROFESSIONAL believes
justified after consideration of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate
of Substantial Completion PROFESSIONAL will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation
as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to
security, operation, safety, maintenance, heat, utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and
CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in wilting and so inform PROFESSIONAL prior to PROFESSIONAL's issuing the
definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, PROFESSIONAL's aforesaid recommendation will be binding on
OWNER and CONTRACTOR until final payment.
14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of
Substantial Completion, but OWN ER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items
on the tentative list.
Partial Utilization:

intended purpose without significant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the
Work, may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the following.
14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such
part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CON-
TRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that said part of the Work is
substantially complete and request PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part
of the Work. CONTRACTOR at any time may notify, OWNER and PROFESSIONAL in writing that CONTRACTOR
considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substantially complete and request
PROFESSIONAL to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable
time after either such request, OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL shall make an inspection of that
part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If PROFESSIONAL does not consider that part of the
Work to be substantially complete, PROFESSIONAL will notify. OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the
reasons therefor. If PROFESSIONAL considers that part o(the Work to be substantially complete, the provisions
of paragraphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the
Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto.
14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CONTRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to take over
operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be
sent to PROFESSIONAL and within a reasonable time thereafter OWNER, CONTRACTOR and PROFESSIONAL
shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of
the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not
object in writing to OWNER and PROFESSIONAL that such part of the Work is not ready for separate operation
by OWNER, PROFESSIONAL will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list
to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities
pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security, operation, safety,
maintenance, utilities, insurance, warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become

Substantial Completion of such part of the Work, OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to
complete or correct items on said list and to complete other related Work.

Documents, including but not limited to the evidence of insurance required, (ii) consent of the surety, if any, to
final payment, and (iii) complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all liens

releases and receipts include all labor, services, material and equipment for which a lien could be filed, and (ii)
all payrolls, material and equipment bills and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or
OWNER's property might in any way be responsible have been paid or otherwise satisfied. If any
Subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release or receipt in full, CONTRACTOR may furnish a bond or
other collateral satisfactory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any lien.
14.12.1. No application for final payment will be accepted by OWNER until approved as-built
documents by CONTRACTOR are accepted and approved by PROFESSIONAL.
14.12.2. Notwithstanding any other provision of these contract documents to the contrary, OWNER

Subcontractor, laborer or other party to ensure that payments due and owing by CONTRACTOR to any of them
are or will be made. Such parties shall rely only on CONTRACTOR's surety bonds for remedy of nonpayment
by him. CONTRACTOR agrees to defend and resolve all claims made by Subcontractors, indemnifying OWNER

CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic loss
arising out of or resulting from such termination.

SECTION T1
SITE WORK
SCOPE:
The work covered by this specification consists of furnishing all plant,
labor, equipment, appliances, materials and supervision, and in performing
all operations in connection with clearing, grubbing, excavation, filling,
backfilling, grading the site, field layout, staking, and grade setting in
strict accordance with this section of the specifications, the applicable
drawings and terms and conditions of the Contract.
GENERAL:
Operations shall be conducted in a manner which will provide for the safety
of employees and others. Existing utility lines, walks, steps, paving,
structures, or trees to remain shall be safeguarded and protected from
damage, and supported if necessary. Prior to any work the Contractor shall
obtain necessary permits for work in the area or shall ascertain that the
permits have otherwise been obtained. See Special Conditions, Paragraph
SC-10 for field layout, staking, and grade setting requirements.
Classification of Excavation: All excavation in connection with site work
will be considered unclassified common excavation.
CLEARING:
Clearing shall consist of the felling and cutting up or trimming of trees
and the satisfactory disposal of the trees and other vegetation designated
for removal together with the down timber, snags, brush and rubbish
occurring wi thin the project limits. Trees and other vegetation to be
removed and all stumps, roots, and brush in areas to be cleared but not
grubbed shall be cut off flush with or slightly below the original ground
surface. Trees and stumps in areas to be covered by embankments 3 feet or
more in height shall be cut off to 8 inches or less above the original
ground surface. Trees and other vegetation in areas to be cleared and
grubbed may be removed by uprooting or any other method that the Contractor
may propose that is satisfactory to the Engineer. Indi vidual trees and
groups of trees designated to be left standing shall be trimmed of all live
branches to such heights and in such manner as directed by the Engineer.
All limbs and branches required to be trimmed shall be neatly cut close to
the bole of the tree or to main branches, and the cuts more than 1-1/2
inches in diameter thus made shall be painted with an approved tree wound
paint.
GRUBBING:
Grubbing shall consist of the removal and disposal of all stumps, roots
larger than 3 inches in diameter to the depth specified, and matted roots
from the areas to be grubbed. In foundations areas, stumps, roots, logs or
other timber 3 inches and over in diameter, matted roots, and other debris
not suitable for foundation purposes, shall be excavated and removed to a
depth not less than 18 inches below any subgrade, shoulder or slope; and to
a depth of 12 inches below finish grade in areas to be grassed. All
depressions excavated below the original ground surface for or by the
removal of stumps and roots, shall be refilled with suitable material and

compacted to make the surface conform to the surrounding ground surface.
Grubbing will not be required in areas other than those occupied by
construction and graded and grassed areas.
DISPOSAL OF CLEARED AND GRUBBED MATERIAL:
Merchantable Timber: All merchantable timber (6" diameter at the base or
larger) cut from the construction sites, or from the rights-of-way, shall
remain the property of the landowner. The Contractor shall trim and cut
such timber and stack it neatly within the easement or right-of-way, as
directed by the Engineer.
Burning or Removal From Site: All Timber, except such timber which the
Engineer considers merchantable, all logs, stumps, roots, brush, rotten
wood and other refuse from the clearing and grubbing operations shall be
burned, except that when permitted in writing by the Engineer, logs and
large stumps may be otherwise disposed of as elected by the Contractor.
Such permit will state the conditions covering the disposal of such logs
and stumps without burning, including the areas in which they may be
placed. Timber and other refuse to be disposed of by burning shall be
burned at locations specified by the Engineer, in a manner that will avoid
all hazards, such as damage to existing structures, construction in
progress, trees and vegetation. The Contractor will be responsible for
compliance with all Federal and state Laws and regulations relative to the
building of fires. Disposal by burning shall be kept under constant
attendance until the fires have burned out or have been extinguished.
MATERIALS:
Borrow Material shall be selected to meet the requirements and conditions
of the particular installation for which it is to be used. The material
shall consist of sand soils or sand-clay soils capable of being readily
shaped and compacted to the required densities and shall be free of roots,
trash and any other deleterious material. The material shall be obtained
from off-site borrow pits approved by the Engineer. Borrow pits shall be
cleared and grubbed as necessary, and shall be opened, excavated, graded
and maintained so that adequate and proper drainage and a neat appearance
shall exist at all times.
Topsoil shall consist of a natural material that occurs in surface deposits
of limited depth, and, in general, on elevated areas, it shall be composed
of natural mixtures of clay and soil binder with sand. Topsoil shall
contain not more than 25 percent of clay and shall be free of stones larger
than 2 inches in diameter, roots, excessive vegetation, rubbish or other
deleterious matter. Topsoil shall be approved by the Engineer before being
used on the work. Topsoil as described, shall be excavated from all areas
to be disturbed, whether for structures, piping, site grading, or paving,
and if it cannot immediately be placed in its final location, it shall be
stored for later use. Stockpiled topsoil shall be placed to afford good
drainage. Topsoil work shall not be performed when the soil is so wet that
the tilth of the soil will be destroyed.
Embankment: This item consists of plac.::..ng in fills and embankments for
roadways, and other site grading work, the materials removed from the

appropriate
pits,
lines,
Crushed stone surfacing material shall consist of a compacted subgrade, a
4" sand-clay base, and a 2-1/2" crushed stone surface course. The surface
course shall consist of dense graded crushed stone with 65 percent passing
a No. 4 U. S. Standard Sieve.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS:
General: During construction, embankments, fills and excavations shall be
kept shaped and drained. Ditches and drains along the subgrade shall be
maintained in such manner as to drain effectively at all times. Grading
shall be done so that the surface of the ground will be properly sloped to
prevent water from running into the excavations for structures or pipe
lines; any water which accumulates in excavations shall be removed
promptly. Excavated materials shall not be stockpiled within a distance
from the edge of any excavation less than 1-1/2 times the depth of the
excavation. Suitable material removed from excavation shall be used, where
feasible, in the formation of embankments, fills, subgrades, shoulders,
backfills, and site grading; excess material from excavation, not required
for such uses or materials not suitable for such uses, shall be wasted in
locations directed by the Engineer. Any wetting, hauling, scarifying,
mixing, shaping, rolling, tamping or other operation incidental to the
following requirements, which, in the judgment of the Engineer, are
necessary to obtain the specified results, shall be performed by the
Contractor at no additional expense to the Owner.
Si te Grading: Site grading shall consist of excavating and placing all
necessary materials outside the limits of the various structures. Site
grading shall be completed when all surfaces are aligned with surrounding
grades or are in conformity with the contours when shown, and are smooth,
firm, containing the specified materials. Site grading shall include all
excavation, filling and compacting required for construction of all
ditches, roads, and all other areas disturbed by construction except as
otherwise specified. Site grading also shall include excavation and
backfill for walks and steps. Except as otherwise specified her~in, all
disturbed areas on the site shall be finished off to a uniformly smooth
surface, free from abrupt, irregular surface changes. The degree of
smoothness shall be that ordinarily obtainable from power grader
operations. The finished surface shall not be more than 0.10 foot above or
below the established grade. There shall be no roots, wasted building
materials, trash or other unsightly matter projecting through or visible at
the surface.
After all embankments and fills have been completed to grade, and after all
structures and pipe lines requiring the use of heavy equipment have been
completed, excavation necessary for the construction of walkways and steps
may be performed. Excavation shall be accurately cut to line and grade;

SECTION T2
EXCAVATION, FILLING AND BACKFILLING
SCOPE:
The work covered by this section of the specifications consists of furnishing
all plant, labor, equipment, appliances, materials, layout staking and grade
staking and supervision, and in performing all operations in connection with
the excavation, filling and backfilling for structures and piping in strict
accordance with this section of the specifications, the applicable drawings and
terms and conditions of the Contract.
CLASSIFICATION OF EXCAVATION:
All excavation shall be Unclassified.
EXCAVATION:
General: The excavation shall conform to dimensions and elevations appropriate
for the pipe line or structure. Excavation shall not be carried below the
elevation necessary for construction.
Excavation for Walls and Footings shall extend a sufficient distance to allow
for the placing and removal of forms, installation of services and for
inspection, except where the concrete wall or footing may be authorized to be
deposited directly against excavated surfaces.
Trench Excavation: Trenches shall be excavated true to line and grade.
Trenches to receive pipe having a nominal diameter of 24 inches or less shall
not be less than 12 inches wider nor more than 16 inches wider than the outside
diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, so that a clear space of not less than
6 inches nor more than 8 inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe.
The maximum width specified applies to the width at or below the level of the
top of the pipe. The width of the trench above the pipe may be as wide as
necessary to provide room for proper installation of the work. The Contractor
shall comply with the safety requirements of OSHA.
The bottoms of trenches for water lines shall be rounded so that the lower 90
degree quadrant of the pipe is in direct contact throughout its entire length
with undisturbed earth or with suitable compacted fill material. Bell holes
and excavation for joints shall be dug by hand after the trench bottom has been
shaped. These holes shall be so spaced and sized as to perIni t first class
workmanship on the joint and to insure that the maximum length of pipe possible
will rest on the prepared bottom of the trench.
Where rock is encountered in the trench bottom, the excavation shall be carried
below the bottom of the pipe a distance of 6 inches or one-eighth the outside
diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater. Where, in the opinion of the
Engineer, the natural trench bottom is soil which is incapable of
satisfactorily supporting the pipe, such unsuitable soil shall be removed to
the depth required as determined at the site. The trench bottom shall then be
refilled with selected refill material, placed in 8 inch layers and compacted
at optimum moisture content. Each layer shall be thoroughly tamped. The
refill shall be brought to the proper elevation for the pipe.

SECTION T2
EXCAVATION, FILLING AND BACKFILLING
Dewatering and Drainage of Excavated Areas: Grading in the vicinity of
structures shall be controlled to prevent surface water from running into
excavated areas. Dewatering by pumping or wellpointing from excavated areas
shall be performed by the Contractor to provide a stable excavation and a firm
pit or trench bottom. Dewatering shall incur no extra cost to the Owner.
All dewatering methods shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer as to
capacity and effectiveness. Water removed from the excavated areas shall be
conveyed in a proper manner to a sui table point of discharge where it will
neither cause injury to public health, public or private property, the surface
or use of streets by the public or work completed or in progress.
Protection Against Flotation: To guard against the danger of flotation of
empty or partially empty pipe due to a high water table, all dewatering
operations shall be continued without interruption until such time as
sufficient backfill has been placed over the top of the pipe to overcome the
buoyancy effect of a completely empty pipe which is entirely submerged.
Shoring and Protection of Excavations: Shoring shall be provided by the
Contractor as necessary to protect life or property. All existing structures,
streets, pipes, and foundations which are not to be removed or relocated shall
be adequately protected or replaced by the Contractor wi thout cost to the
Owner. The Contractor shall adequately protect the work under construction and
the safety of his workmen in excavations by the use of sui table sheeting,
shoring and bracing, or by sloping the banks in accordance with the angle of
repose of the soil.
The Contractor alone is responsible for any damage or injury resulting from his
failure either to provide adequate protection from the excavation or to comply
with OSHA requirements.
Excess Material: Excess material to be used for backfill shall be stockpiled
as directed by the Engineer. Excavated material shall be deposited a
sufficient distance from the side of excavation walls to prevent excessive
surcharge on the wall. Excess excavated material not suitable or required for
backfill or filling shall be wasted within the limits of the site as directed
by the Engineer.
Blasting: Where blasting is necessary, it shall be done in accordance with
local ordinances by skilled operators and precautions shall be taken to avoid
damage. Suitable mats shall be provided to confine, within the limits of the
excavations, all materials lifted by blasting.
FILL:
Earth fill shall be placed in layers not to exceed 8 inches in thickness. Each
layer shall be compacted at optimum moisture content in a manner approved by
the Engineer. After compaction, the dry weight per cubic foot for each layer
shall be at least 95% of the maximum Laboratory Dry Weight per cubic foot, as
determined by the ASTM D 698.

radially to the pipe to form a positive seal. The design and shape of the
gasket and the annular recess shall be such that the gasket is locked in place
against displacement as the joint is assembled. Details of the joint design
shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's standard practice. The size and
shape of the gasket shall be such as to provide adequate compressive force
between the spigot and the socket after assembly to effect a posi ti ve seal
under all combinations of the joints and gasket tolerances. Contractor shall
furnish both the Owner and the Engineer with one copy of the pipe
manufacturer's joint assembly instructions. The Contractor shall adhere
strictly to the pipe manufacturer's joint assembly instructions.
Mechanical Joints: The last 8 inches of the spigot and inside of the
bell of mechanical joint pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned and then painted with
a soap solution made by dissolving one-half cup of granulated soap in one
gallon of water. The cast iron gland shall then be slipped on the spigot end
of the pipe. The rubber gasket shall be painted with the soap solution and
placed on the spigot end with the thick edge toward the gland. The entire
section of the pipe shall be pushed forward to seat the spigot end in the bell.
The gasket shall then be pressed into place within the bell, being careful to
have the gasket evenly positioned around the entire joint. The cast-iron gland
shall be moved into position for bolting, all bolts inserted, and the nuts
screwed up tightly with the fingers. Nuts spaced 180 degrees apart shall be
tightened alternately to produce an equal pressure on all parts of the gland.
A suitable torque-limiting wrench shall be used with maximum torque as
recommended by the manufacturer.
Restraining Gasket Assembly Instructions:
For cold weather assemblies, keep the temperature of the Gaskets above 400 F.
For cut pipe, select pipe with diameters or circumferences at the cut location
which conform to the table given below.
For cut pipe, assure that a tapered bevel similar to the one furnished with the
pipe is ground onto the end of the pipe.
Measure the socket depth and make a mark on the pipe spigot that distance from
the end of the pipe. This mark will indicate when the joint is fully "home".
Keep the joint in straight alignment during assembly, especially when handling
fittings. Do not fully "home" the joint if joint deflection is required. Set
the joint deflection after the assembly is made.
Approximately twice as much assembly force may be required to assemble a
Restraining Gasket into a joint than is required for a conventional push-on
joint Gasket.
Check for correct positioning of the restraining Gasket by inserting a feeler
gauge in the space between the bell and the pipe 00 in several locations around
the socket to assure that the gasket is in proper position in the socket in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Cleaning: A pipe swab shall be kept in the pipe at all times to prevent
debris from entering the newly laid pipe. Whenever pipe laying operations are

lime and fertilizer conforming to the requirements of this specification shall
be uniformly distributed over the areas, lime at the rate of one ton per acre
and fertilizer at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre. In areas where mechanical
spreaders cannot be used, the lime and fertilizer may be applied by hand
methods. The lime and fertilizer shall not be applied when the wind makes it
difficult to obtain satisfactory distribution.
TILLAGE:
The lime and fertilizer shall be thoroughly and uniformly mixed with the soil
to a depth of approximately 3" by plowing, discing and harrowing until the soil
is friable and well pulverized. Hand tillage will be required in all areas
where mechanical equipment cannot be operated.
SEEDING:
Hulled Bermuda grass seed conforming to the requirements of this specification
shall be uniformly sown by approved mechanical power drawn drills or seeders
or, in small areas, by mechanical hand seeders, at the rate of 40 pounds per
acre. The seeds shall be covered and compacted to a depth of 1/8 to 1/2 inch
by means of a cul tipacker and an empty traffic roller or another roller
weighing less than 3 tons. Broadcast seeding shall not be done when the wind
makes it difficult to get satisfactory distribution. The Bermuda grass seed
shall not be planted prior to April 15 or after September 15. Seed shall not
be sown unless the soil has the optimum moisture content or more through a
depth of at least 3 inches.
WATERING:
After the seeds have been sown, the moisture content of the soil will be
tested. If there is not enough moisture in the soil to insure germination and
adequate plant growth, water shall be applied by sprinkling until an adequate
moisture content has been reached. In the absence of adequate rainfall during
the germination and early growth period, the Contractor will be required to
maintain the required adequate moisture content of the soil by periodic
sprinkling operations.

SECTION T7
GRASSING
MULCHING:
Mulching of seeded areas will not be required but may be employed at the option
of the Contractor as an aid in reducing eroding and conserving soil moisture.
If employed, the mulch shall conform to the requirements of this specification.
The rate of application of the mulch depends on the texture of the mulch. The
proper application will allow some sunlight to penetrate and air to circulate,
at the same time shading the ground. If desired, immediately after the mulch
is spread, the material may be anchored to the soil by a cultipacker, disc
harrow, or other suitable equipment.
ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE:
The Contractor is responsible for providing a satisfactory stand of living
seeded grass in which gaps larger than 12 inches do not occur at the time of
acceptance of the project. Any areas which fail to show a uniform stand for
any reason whatsoever, shall be reseeded with Hulled Bermuda seed, and such
reseeding shall be repeated until acceptance by the Engineer. The Contractor
shall properly water, mow and otherwise maintain all grassed areas and any
damage resulting from erosion, washing or other causes, shall be repaired by
fill topsoil, tamping, refertilizing and reseeding at no additional expense to
the Owner, if such damage occurs prior to acceptance of the project.
GRASSING TO CONTROL EROSION:
In the event completion of grading operations of areas to be planted extends
beyond the specified grassing periods, grassing must be postponed until the
following spring season. The Contractor will be permitted to seed such areas
with Rye grass at his own expense, or by mulching shall control erosion of the
graded areas. All mowing and maintenance operations during the fall and winter
seasons will be the obligation of the Contractor. Erosion must be controlled
by acceptable methods to prevent damage to the Owner's property, to adjacent
property owners, and to limit migration of silt to the streams.
