Please verify correct size. Answer: Since restrained carrier pipe is to be installed, use 24" diameter casing. 2) Bid Form Item P-5: Drawings do not show any new or existing sidewalk, nor is there any visible sidewalk at the site. Please clarify. . Answer: These construction drawings were prepared in conjunction with another project. In a particular area, the projects overlapped. In this area, there was a possibility that sidewalks were to be installed; therefore, Item P-5 was added to the Bid Form. 3) Bid Form Item P-8: Drawings do not show any new or existing asphalt curbing, nor is there any visible asphalt curbing existing at the site.

Progress payments on account of Unit Price Work will be based on the numberof 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 and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. If payment is 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 (1 O%)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's Warranty of Title: 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 return 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 GENERAL CONDITIONS GC-40 of 52 Revision Date August 2001 . Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10, and to any other qualifications stated in the recommendation; and that CONTRACTOR is entitled to payment 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. PROFES~IONAL 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 Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling OWNER to a off-set against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to PROFESSIONAL) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: . 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 GENERAL CONDITIONS GC-41of 52 . . . Revision Date August 2001 date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or corrected before final payment. OWN ER 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 \^All 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 writing 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 rightto exclude CONTRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Completion, but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentati\e list. Partial Utilization: 14.10.

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 CONTRACTOR 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 of 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.

AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ# 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS SECTION TS-2 EXCA V ATIONAND BACKFILLING . PART I - SCOPE 1.1 This section covers all excavation, trenching and backfilling for pIpe lines and structures, complete. PART 2 - EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS 2.1 . The Contractor shall maintain in operating condition and protect from damage all existing improvements including utilities, roads, streets, sidewalks, drives, power and telephone lines, gas lines, water lines, sewers, gutters and other drains encountered, and repair to the satisfaction of the Engineer any aerial, surface or subsurface improvements damaged during the course of the work. Where and if shown on the plans, the locations and existence or nonexistence of underground utilities are not guaranteed. The Contractor shall contact the various utility companies to determine and/or verify such information prior to proceeding with the work. He shall make reasonable and satisfactory provisions for the maintenance of traffic on streets, drives, walkways and at street crossings and if necessary to provide temporary walkways and bridges for crossing of the open trench as directed. Work shall not commence within Augusta right-of -way until a Right-of-Way Encroachment Permit is obtained from the Augusta Engineering Department. PART 3 - EXCAVATION 3.1 All excavation of every description and of whatever substances encountered shall be performed to the depths indicated on the drawings or as specified herein. Excavation shall be made by the open cut method except as -otherWise specified or shown on the drawings. Excavation methods shall generally meet or exceed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) construction industry standards. 3.2 . All excavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and wasted as directed. The banks of shallow trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical as practicable and where required shall be properly sheeted and braced. Except where otherwise indicated, trench bottoms shall be not less than 12 inches wider nor more than 16 inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, and shall be excavated true to line, so that a clear space of not less than 6 inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe. The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe on undisturbed soil at every point along its entire length, except for portions of the pipe sections where it is necessary to excavate for bell holes and for the proper sealing of pipe joints. Bell holes shall be dug after the trench bottom has been graded. Bell holes shall be excavated only to an extent sufficient to permit accurate work in the making of the joints and to insure that the pipe, EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING 5/20/2008 TS 2-1 EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING 5/20/2008 TS 2-2 AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ# 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS . for a maximum of its length will rest upon the prepared bottom of the trench. Depressions for joints other than mechanical shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the joint manufacturers for the particular joint used. Excavation for structures and other accessories shall be sufficient to leave at least 12 inches in the clear between their outer surfaces and the embankment or timber which may be used to hold the bank and protect them. Where damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left in place. Except at locations where excavation of rock from the bottoms of trenches is required, care shall be taken not to excavate below the depths indicated. Where rock excavation is required, the rock shall be excavated to a minimum over-depth of 4 inches below the normal required trench depth. The over-depth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth, thoroughly tamped. Rock is defined as materials which are so hard or cemented that the excavation of such material requires blasting. The excavation shall proceed in a conventional manner with satisfactory effort made to remove hard materials.before the Engineer makes a determination of need for blasting. Pre-drilling and blasting will be allowed, if the Contractor can provide evidence for the Engineer's review that boring logs can and will show that the material can or cannot be excavated. Evidence will be provided for the Engineer's review and approval before pre-drilling and blasting is undertaken. The excavation and removal of isolated boulders or rock fragments larger than one cubic yard in volume encountered in materials of common excavation shall be classified as rock excavation. Whenever wet or othern:ise unstable soil that is incapable of, properly supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer or indicated on the drawings, is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to a depth required for the lengths designated by the Engineer, and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade, as herein specified, with coarse sand, fine gravel, or other suitable material. Backfill with earth under structures will not be permitted and any unauthorized excess excavation below the levels indicated for the foundation of such structures shall be filled with sand, gravel, or concrete, as directed. . A. Grading and Stacking: All grading in the vicinity of trench excavation shall be controlled 'to prevent surface ground water from flowing into the trenches. Any water accumulated in the trenches shall be removed by pumping or by other approved methods. During excavation, material suitable for backfilling shall be stored in an orderly manner a minimum distance of one and one-half times the depth of the excavation back from the edges of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins. Material unsuitable for backfilling, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed from the job site and disposed of by the Contractor in a manner as approved by the Engineer. . B. Shoring and Sheeting: All shoring, sheeting, and bracing required to perform and protect the excavation and to safeguard employees and the public shall be performed. The failure of the Engineer to direct the placing of such protection shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for damage resulting from its omISSIOn. Whenever sheeting is driven to a depth below the elevation of the top of the pipe, that portion of the sheeting below the elevation of the top of the pipe shall not be disturbed or removed. Sheeting left in place shall be cut off not less than 1 foot below finished grade. No sheeting shall be removed until the excavation is substantially backfilled as hereinafter specified. AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ# 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS . . C. Water Removal: Where water is encountered, it shall be prevented" from accumulating in excavated areas by pumping, well-pointing and pumping, or by other means approved by the Engineer as to capacity and effectiveness. Water removed from excavations shall be discharged at points where it will not cause injury to public or private property, or the work completed or in progress. All efforts. to prevent sedimentation shall be made. Under no circumstances shall trench bottoms be prepared, pipes laid, or appurtenances installed in water. Water shall not be allowed to rise in open excavations after pipe or structures have been placed. D. Blasting: Explosives are to used only within legal limitations. Before explosives are used, all necessary permits for this work shall be secured and all precautions taken in the blasting operations to prevent damage to private or public property or to persons. The Contractor shall assume full liability for any damage that may occur during the use of explosives. No blast shall be set off within 50 feet of pipe already laid in the trench. E. Tree Protection: Care shall be exercised to 'protect the roots of trees to be left : standing. Within the branch spread of the tree, trench shall be opened only when the work can be installed immediately. Injured roots shall be pruned cleanly and backfill placed as soon as possible. PART 4 - BACKFILLING 4.1 Trenches and other excavations shall not be backfilled until all required tests are performed and the work has been approved by the Engineer. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved for backfilling consisting of earth,' loam, sandy clay, sand and gravel, soft shale, or other approved materials. No material shall be used for backfilling that contains mulch, other unstable materials, stones, blasted rock, broken concrete or pavement, or other hard materials having any dimension greater than 4 inches; or large clods of earth, debris, frozen earth or earth with an exceptionally high void content. Backfilling within Augusta right-of-way shall conform to Georgia Department of Transportation and City of Augusta specifications. 4.2 . For backfill up to a level 1 foot over the top of pressure pipelines and 2 feet above the top of gravity pipelines, only selected materials shall be used.. Select materials shall be finely divided material free from debris, organic material and stone, and may be suitable job excavated material or shall be provided by the Contractor from other sources: The backfill shall be placed in uniform layers not exceeding 8 inches in depth. EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING 5/20/2008 TS 2-3 Each layer shall be moistened and carefully and uniformly tamped with mechanical tampers or other suitable tools. Each layer shall be placed and tamped under the pipe haunches with care and thoroughness so as to eliminate the possibility of voids or lateral displacement. AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ# 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS . 4.3 4.4 . The remainder of the backfill material shall then be placed and compacted above the level specified above. In areas not subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 12' inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to a density approximating that of the' surrounding earth. Under roadways, driveways, paved areas, parking lots, along roadway shoulders and other areas subject to traffic, the backfill shall be placed in 8 inch layers and each layer moistened and compacted to density at least equal to that of the surrounding earth so that traffic can be resumed immediately after backfilling is completed. Any trenches which are improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, shall be reopened to the depth required for proper compaction, then refilled and compacted' with the surface restored to the required grade compaction. Along all portions of the trenches not located in roadways, the ground shall be graded to a reasonable uniformity and the mounding over the trenches left in a neat condition satisfactory to the Engineer. Sheeting not specified to be left in place shall be removed as the backfilling progresses. Sheeting shall be removed in such a manner as to avoid caving of the trench. Voids left by the removal of sheeting and shoring shall be carefully filled and compacted. Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, damage is liable to result from withdrawing sheeting, the sheeting will be ordered to be left.in place. PART 5 - BORING AND JACKING 5.1 Where required by the drawings, the pipeline will be installed in a steel casing, placed by boring and jacking. Where boring is required under highways, the materials and workmanship will be in accordance with the standards of the Georgia Department of Transportation or local authority. Boring and jacking UJider railroads will be governed by the latest A.R.E.A. standards and those of the railroad involved. The steel casing shall be in accordance with ASTM A252 to the thicknesses shown on the drawings. PART 6 - PAVEMENT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 6.1 Where necessary existing pavements shall be removed and replaced, the applicable specifications of the Georgia Department of Transportation or local authority shall govern this work. Joints shall be sawed, unless joints equally uniform in the opinion of the Engineer result from other means.

With respect to inspections, sampling and monitoring for compliance with EPD General Permit, the Contractor shall, at a minimum, be responsible for the following: AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ # 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS . . . 1. Each day when any type of construction activity has taken place on site, qualified personnel provided by the Contractor shall inspect: a) all areas on the site where petroleum products are stored, used or handled for spills and leaks from vehicles and equipment; b) all locations on the site where vehicles enter or exit the site for evidence of off-site sediment tracking; and c) all silt retention basins, traps, barriers, etc. for evidence of failures, potential failures or excess silt accumulation. 2. These inspections must also occur after each rainfall event on the site and must be continued until such time that the project is complete and the site has achieved final stabilization. The Contractor shall document these daily inspections on a form provided by or approved by the Engineer and must submit these forms weekly and after each rainfall event to the Owner's designated representative. Additionally, should a deficiency in any of the erosion control measures be noted, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer within 24 hours. 3. Erosion and sedimentation control measures shall be inspected by a representative of the Owner beginning with the first earth disturbing activity and continuing through final stabilization of the project site. Storm water monitoring, sampling and testing will be accomplished by personnel representing the Owner beginning with the first earth disturbing activity and continuing through final stabilization of the project site. The Contractor shall allow the monitoring agency access to the site at all hours of the day by providing a key to any locked gates and shall also coordinate these services by notifying the monitoring agency when: a) the first rainfall event of 0.5 inch or more in 24 hours occurs on the site after the clearing and grubbing operations have been completed in the drainage area of the location selected as the representative sampling location; and b) whenever a rainfall event that reaches or exceed 0.5 inch that occurs either 90 days after the first sampling event or after all mass grading operations have been completed in the drainage area for the representative sampling location.

FLOW ABLE FILL 5/20/2008 TS 9-1 AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ # 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS SECTION TS-9 FLOW ABLE FILL . PART 1 - SCOPE 1.1 The work covered by this section of specifications consists of furnishing all labor, equipment, appliances, and materials, and in performing all operations in connection with the installation of flowable fill work, complete, in strict accordance with this specification and the applicable drawings, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract. PART 2 - FLOW ABLE FILL MIX DESIGN 2.1 The mixes fall into the categories of "very flowable" and "less flowable," which is controlled by the amount of water that is added. The less flowable mix should be used when it is desirable to put traffic back on a roadway quickly (usually 8 to 10 hours) or when being used to backfill pipes which could "float" out of position due to the buoyant effect of the very flowable fill mix. This mix will still self-consolidate around pipes without any "honeycomb" areas. Adding water to flow able fill to obtain the desired plastic characteristics will not compromise the quality of the hardened flowable fill. .

Anticipated unconfined compressive strength is 80 psi at 28 days and 150 psi at 56 days. For "very flowable" fill (Mix 2), add 10 gallons of water per cubic yard of Mix 1. PART 3 - INSTALLATION OF FLOWABLE FILL 3.1 The trench shall be prepared and the pipe joints placed as normal. There should be at least 6 inches of flow able fill above any utility line. Once the pipe is covered, it will be sufficiently anchored and water may be added to the remaining flowable fill to ease . placement without danger of floating the pipe. If it is important to quickly return traffic to the roadway, the flow able fill mixture shall not be altered by the addition of water. AUGUSTA UTILITIES DEPARTMENT PROJ # 808000015-5425110 NIXON ROAD WATER IMPROVEMENTS . 3.2 3.3 3.4 . The flowable fill may be discharged from the ready-mix truck into the space to be filled, or by other methods approved by the Utilities Department representative. The mix may be placed in part depth or full depth as conditions at the site dictate. Formed walls or other bulkheads shall be constructed to withstand the mounded soil rather than wood or metal forms. When backfilling utility lines, flowable fill shall be distributed evenly to prevent movement of the line. The material is self-consolidating and there is no need to use vibrators. Finishing can be accomplished with a square shovel if the fill surface is at the bottom of pavement or with a wood float if the surface will be temporarily used as a finished surface. Once the flow able fill is in the trench, the self-consolidating material displaces the extra water not needed for maximum density. Provision shall be made for this "bleed water' to run off and away from the surface of the hardening flowable fill (use of vapor barriers such as plastic sheets is not desired). The material will usually support foot traffic within an hour after the bleeding ends. Typically, full traffic can be allowed on the hardened flowable fill within 8 to 20 hours (depending on site conditions, volume to be backfilled, etc.). Without damage to the fill or any structures below. Ifit is necessary to return traffic in less than 8 hours, or if there is concern that traffic flow will "rut" the ' hardening flowable fill, steel plates shall be used to bridge over the hardening flowable fill as directed by the Utilities Department representative. If the filled cavity is too wide to bridge, steel plates shall be placed on top of the hardening flow able fill as soon as it is able to support foot traffic (one hour after bleeding ends), and full traffic can be , allowed without damage to the fill or structure below. 3.5 As the extra water is displace from the consolidating flowable fill, there will be an initial subsidence of about one-eighth (118) of an inch per vertical foot. Once the flowable fill hardens, there will not be future settlement. The hardened flow able fill can be shaped to grade the next day to allow the patch thickness required. The patch may be applied directly to the cured flowable fill. 3.6 It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to furnish the necessary information to obtain approval of the mix design and to use 'the necessary construction techniques to assure that the finished material will perform as intended.
