The CONTRACTOR shall, at the OWNER'S request, furnish satisfactory evidence that all obligations of the nature designated above have been paid, discharged, or waived. If the CONTRACTOR fails to do so the OWNER may, after having notified the CONTRACTOR, either pay unpaid bills or withhold from the CONTRACTOR'S unpaid compensation a sum of money deemed reasonably sufficient to pay any and all such lawful claims until satisfactory evidence is furnished that all liabilities have been fully discharged whereupon payment to the CONTRACTOR shall be resumed, in accordance with the terms of the CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, but in no event shall the provisions of this sentence be construed to impose any obligations upon the OWNER to either the CONTRACTOR, his Surety, or any third party.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS: I 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, ,,,,here 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, haulinq, 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. ,I I I 1\ I Site 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, roa~s, and all other areas disturbed by construction except as otherwise specified. Site gradingalsQ shall include excavation and backfill for walks and steps. Except as otherwise specified herein, 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 establishe~grade. There shall be no roots, wasted building materials, trash or other unsightly matter projecting through or visible at the surface. I I 'I I 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; sufficient width for the accurate placement and adequate support of the forms shall be allowed. After the forms are removed, the backfill shall be replaced and recompacted around structures, walks and steps. Care shall be taken to avoid damage to the walks and steps by the tampers. 'I I I Topsoil shall be evenly spread over the entire area to receive vegetation cover. The compactedsubgrade shall be scarified to a depth of 2 inches for the bonding of topsoil with the subsoil. Topsoil shall then be evenly spread, lightly compacted (not less than one pass of a cultipacker weighing 100 to 160#/ft. of roller) and graded to a uniform thickness of net less than 3' inches, and the surface shall conform to the requirements of site grading, ditches, embankments, or other features, as applicable.

I 'I c. Excavation for Walls and Footings: I Excavation for walls and footings shall extend ~ sufficient distance to allow for the placing and removal of forms, installations of services and for inspection, except where the concrete wall or footings may be authorized to be deposited directly against excavated surfaces. I 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 crushed rock as specified below under Trench Excavation. 'I d. Trench Excavation: I 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. Trenches to receive pipe having a nominal diameter of 24 inches or greater shall not be less than 24 inches wider nor more than 32 inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be laid therein, so that a clear space of not less than 12 inches nor more than 16 inches in width is provided on each side of the pipe. I 'I I 9410-t2.doc EXCAVATION, TRENCHING, ~~D BACKFILLING T2-l I I I' 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 req~irements of OSHA and, where applicable, of the Georgia DOT. I I The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe on the bedding material at every point along its entire length, except for portions of the pipe sections where it is necessary to provide for bell holes and for the proper sealing of pipe joints. Bell holes shall be shaped 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, 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. Water lines may be laid on shaped firm earth without bedding except where the bedding is required above rock. I 'I' I I 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 for bedding. Where rock excavation is required, the rock shall be excavated to a minimum overdepth of 4 inches and maximum of 12 inches below the normal required trench depth. The overdepth rock excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled wi th well-g.raded stone or crushed gravel meeting the requirements of ASTM C-33, Gradation 67 (3/4" to #4). Whenever wet or otherwise 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 with crushed stone or gravel. I I' e. Dewatering and Drainage: 'I' All excavations shall be protected from flooding by surface waters (rain, runoff, etc.). I. Dewatering by pumping or well pointing 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. I Water removed from the excavated areas shall be conveyed in a proper manner to a suitable point of discharge where it will neither cause injury to public health, public or private property, the surface, or the use of streets by the public, or work completed or in progress. 'I .1 To guard against the danger of flotation of empty or partially empty pipe due to 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 of a completely empty pipe which is entirely submerged. I f. Shoring and Protection of Excavations: I Shoring sha1.l be provided by the Contractor as necessary to protect life or property. Excavations shall not be made until shoring has been completed. All existing structures, streets, pipes and foundations which are not to be removed or relocated shall be adequately protected or repla~ed by the Contractor without cost to the City. The Contractor shall adequately protect the work under I 9410-t2.doc EXCAVATION, TRENCHING, AND BACKFILLING T2-2 I I.

The bedding material shall be well-graded crushed stone or crushed gravel meeting the requirements of ASTM C-33, Gradation 67 (3/4 inches to No.4). The bedding shall have a minimum thickness beneath the bottom of ,the pipe of 4 inches or one~eighth of the outside diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater, and shall extend up the sides of the pipe one-sixth of the outside diameter of the pipe for rigid pipe and 6n above the pipe for flexible type. Holes must be dug in the bedding for each bell or coupling so that the load is. supported entirely by the pipe barrel, not the pipe bell or coupling. After each pipe has be~n placed in final position, bedding material shall be placed and compacted under the pipe haunches and on each side of the pipe to prevent lateral displacement. "Shovel-slicing" of .crushed stone bedding shall be done using a crow bar heavy enough to penetrate the bedding material. The pipe bedding shall be thoroughly compacted throughout its depth.
