, maximum spacing of twenty (20� feet. The maximum length of rail that can be removed at any time without
being replaced with positive barrier protection is a total of 2000 linear feet of existing rail or the total length
of one run of existing rail, whichever is greater.
' ALL OTHER HIGHWAYS: From the time that the existing guardrail is removed or from the time that
temporary positive barrier protection is removed the Contractor has thirty (30) calendar days to install the
new guardrail and anchors. During the interim, the location without guardrail shall be protected with drums
' spaced at a maximum spacing of twenty (20� feet. The maximum length of rail that can be removed at
any time without being replaced with positive barrier protection is a total of 1000 linear feet of existing rail
or the total length of one run of existing rail, whichever is greater.
� Based on existing field conditions, the Engineer may review the work and require that the guardrail be
installed earlier than the maximum time allowed above by giving written notification to the Contractor via
, the TC-1 traffic control report.
Failure to comply with the above time and quantity restrictions shall be considered as non-compliance
' under Subsection 150.08.
11. STOP SIGN REGULATED INTERSECTIONS: For intersections that utilize stop sign(s) to control the flow
of traffic and to restrict the movement of vehicles, the stop sign(s) shall be maintained for the duration of
' the work or until such time that the stop condition is eliminated or until an interim or permanent traffic
signal can be installed to provide proper traffic control. The traffic signal shall be installed and properly
functioning before the removal of the existing stop sign(s) is permitted. If the existing intersection is
, enhanced traffic control features such as stop bars, double indicated stop signs, oversized signs, advanced
warning stop ahead signs, rumble strips on the approaches or flashing beacons located overhead or on the
shoulders then these features shall be maintained for the duration of the project or until the permanent
� traffic control plan has been implemented.
Whenever the staging of the work requires that the traveled-way be relocated or realigned the Contractor
' shall reinstall all enhanced traffic control features noted above on the newly constructed sections of the
work. The cost of relocating the stop bars, stop signs, advanced warning signs, the rumble strips and the
flashing beacons shall be included in the price bid for Lump-Sum-Traffic Control unless individual pay items
are included in the contract for rumble strips and/or flashing beacons. When pay items are included in the
' contract for rumble strips or flashing beacons then these items will be paid per each.
When staging requires the relocation or realignment of an existing stop condition it may be necessary to
, consider the addition of enhanced traffic control features even though none existed at the original location.
As a guide for enhanced traffic control features that may be considered, the Engineer or the WTCS may
refer to the Department's guidelines for "Opening of New Roadways to Traffic" (Document #6635-2).
' Horizontal and vertical alignment changes at a new location may have decreased or restricted sight distance
or the stop condition may occur sooner than in the previous alignment. If these conditions occur then the
Engineer and/or the WTCS should consider additional measures to enhance the motorist's awareness of the
' changes even though the staging plans may not address enhanced features. Stop signs should be a
minimum of 36 inches for interim situations. The use of 48 inch stop signs may be warranted under project
specific conditions. Flags may be used on interim/permanent stop signs that are mounted at seven (7� feet
in height for a short duration in order to direct additional attention to a new or relocated stop sign(s). Flags
� should not be used for durations exceeding two weeks unless unusual or site specify conditions warrant a
longer period of time. The use of Type °A" flashing red light(s) attached to the stop sign(s) may be
appropriate during the same period that the flags are in use to increase attention.
' The use of rumble strips and/or portable changeable message signs may be considered. The use of new
rumble strips, where none previously existed, shall have the prior approval of District Traffic Operations
' before being included as part of the temporary traffic control plan. The message(s) displayed on any PCMS
shall have the prior approval of the Engineer and the message(s) shall be included as part of the TTC plan
for the interim staging.

THE ELIMINATION OF CONFLICTING PAVEMENT MARKINGS BY OVERPAINTING WITH PAINT OR LIQUID
' ASPHALT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
INTERMEDIATE SURFACE. Interim markings shall be removed by methods that will cause minimal damage to
the pavement surface while also ensuring that traveling public will not be confused or misdirected by any
, residual markings remaining on the intermediate surface. The use of approved black-out tape and black-out
paint may be permitted on some interim surfaces, provided the results are satisfactory to the Engineer.
' FINAL SURFACE: No interim paint or thermoplastic markings will be permitted on any final surface unless the
interim markings are in alignment with the location of the permanent markings and the interim marking will
not interfere or adversely affect placement of the permanent markings. The proposed method of removal for
layout errors that require markings to be removed from the final surface shall have the prior approval of the
' Engineer. Any damage to the final pavement surface caused by the pavement marking removal process shall
be repaired at the Contractor's expense by methods acceptable and approved by the Engineer. Subsection
400.3.06.0 shall apply when corrective measures are required. The use of black-out tape or black-out paint
' will not be permitted to correct layout errors on any final surface.
Traffic shifts that are done on the final surface shall be accomplished using interim traffic marking tape that
' can be removed without any blemishing of the final surface. Interim traffic marking tape shall be used on any
of the following final surfaces; asphaltic concrete, Portland cement concrete, and bridge deck surfaces.
Exceptions to the requirements for interim traffic marking tape shall have the written prior approval of the
' Engineer before the application of any other method is permitted.
PAY FACTOR REDUCTION FOR ASPHALTIC CONCRETE FINAL SURFACES: When the correction of an er.ror in
the layout of the final pavement markings requires the final surface to be grounded, blemished, scarred, or
' polished the pay factor shall be reduced to 0.95 for the entire surface area of the final topping that has a
blemish, polished or a scarred surface. The reduced pay factor shall not be confined to only the width and
length of the stripe or the dimensions of the blemished areas, the whole roadway surface shall have the
' reduced pay factor applied. The area of the reduced pay factor shall be determined by the total length and
the total width of the roadway affected. If the affected area is not corrected, the reduction in pay shall be
deducted from the final payment for the topping layer of asphaltic concrete. The Engineer shall make the final
, determination whether correction or a reduced pay factor is acceptable.
The eradication of pavement markings on intermediate and final concrete surfaces shall be accomplished by a
' method that does not grind, polish, or blemish the surface of the concrete. The method used for the removal
of the interim markings shall not spall chip the joints in the concrete and shall not damage the sealant in the
�oints. Any �oint or sealant repairs shall be included in the bid price for Traffic Control-Lump Sum. The
proposed method of removal shall have the prior approval of the Engineer.
� Failure to promptly remove conflicting or non-applicable pavement markings shall be considered as non-
performance under S.u.bsection__150.08.
' PREPARATION AND PLANNING FOR TRAFFIC SHIFTS: When shifting of traffic necessitates removal of
centerline, lane lines, or edge lines, all such lines shall be removed prior to, during, or immediately after any
' change so as to present the least interference with traffic. Interim traffic marking tape shall be used as a
temporary substitute for the traffic markings being removed.
' Before any change in traffic lane(s) alignment, marking removal equipment shall be present on the project for
immediate use. If marking removal equipment failures occur, the equipment shall be repaired or replaced
(including leasing equipment if necessary), so that the removal can be accomplished without delay.

' All water mains shall be leak tested. The Contractor/Developer shall provide all
equiprnent, materials and labor necessary for pressure and leak testing. This test must be
� observed by an Augvsta Utilities Department repzesentative and the design engineer. A
pamping pressure of 200 psi must be supplied at the expense of the
Contractor/Developer. The main tested shall either be isolated from active potab3e lines
, or protected from leakage by a double vaive arrangement. All water used for pressure
testing must be potable water with an adequate chlorine residual. Water Iines shall be
tested by vaIve sections. Maxirnum allowable leakage shall be as deter�ined in
' accordance with current A'S�rWA specifzcations. Tt�e staz�dard duratian of test is faur (4)
hours. Testing procedures shall meet or exceed AWWA C600 (latest version)
requireznents. Any portians of the main which fail the test shall be replace� or adjusted
� until the entire new main passes the test critezia. The pressure and leakage test shall be
done concurrently.
Augusta Utilities shall be notified at least 24 hours in advance to schedule bacteriological
� testing of mains. The Contractor shall replace or adjust corx�ponents of the gipeline
which fail the test. Clearance is reguired from the Utilities Department before the
' Augusta Utilzties Department will allow the rnain to be put into ser�ice.
A11 pzping complete with fittings and appurtenances shall be sterilized as specified in the
' appizcable sections of AWWA Specification C6S1 (latest version) "Disinfecting Water
Mains." Piping and appurtenances shall be thoroughly flushed the�! chlorinated with not

' the existing distribution system or other source of supply should be controlled so as to
flow slowly into the newly la.id pipeline during the applicatian of chlorine. 7'he solution
should be retained in the pipeline for not less than 24 haurs and a chlorine residual of 10
� pprn should be available at this time. The system shal] then be flushed with potable water
and the samp�ing program started. Saznplzng taps and chlozinated �x�ater used for

Before a sewer is designed, the area ta be served should be studied for the purpose af
� estirnating the type and quantity of flflw to be handled. Design should be considezed for
Ehe ultimate tributazy population. Consideration should be given to Ehe maximum
anticipated capacity af institutions, industrial parits, etc. Where future relief sewers are
pIanned, economic analysis of alternatives should accompany initial permit application.
� Design should be based on peak sewage flows plus the anticipated maximum
infiltratiozx/inflow Ievels under narmal open channel flow conditions.

All excavatian of every description a�.d of whatever substances encauntered shal] be
' performed to the depths indicated on the drawings or as speci�ed herein. Excavation
shall be made by the open cut method except as otherwise specified or shown on the
drawings. Excavation z7nethods shall generally rneet or exceed Occupational Safety and
, Health Administration (OSHA} construction industry standards. •
A.11 excavated materials not required for fill or backfiil �hall be removed and wasted as
' directed. The banks of shallow trenches shali be kegt as nearly vertical as practicable and
where required shall be prapezly sheeted and braced. Excepi where otherwise i.ndicated,
trench bottorns shall be not less than 12 inches wider nor more than 16 inches wid�r 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 nor rnore than 8 inches in width is provided an
each side of the pipe. The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to pxovide
, uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe on undisturbed soil at every
point aiong 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. Be11 holes shall be dug
, after the trench bottozn has been graded. Bell holes shall be excavated only to an extent

sufficient to permit accurate wark zn the maktng of the joints and to insure that the pipe,
for a ma�cimum a£ its length will rest upon the prepared bottom of the trench.
' Depressions far joints ather than mechanical shall be znade in accordance with the
recorr�endations of the joint manufacturers for the particular joint used. Excavatio� for
' structures and other accessories shall be sufficient to Ieave at Ieast 12 inches in the clear
between their outer surfaces and the err�bankment or timber which m�y be used to hold
the bank and protect thern. Where damage is liable to result frarn withdrawzng 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 belaw
the depths indicated. Where rock exca�ation is required, the rock shall.be excavated to a
, minimurn overdepth of 4 inches below the normal required �rench depth. The overdepth
rock excavation and aIl excess trench excavation shail be backfil�ed with ]oose, 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. Predrilling and b�asting will be
� allowed, if the Contrackor can grovide evidence for the Engineer's review that boring iogs
can and will show that the material can ar cannot be excavated. Evidence will be
grovided for the Engineer's review and approval before predrilling 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 excavaEion, Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is i.ncapable
' af praperly supporting the pipe, as determined by the Engineer or izadicated on the
drawings, is encountered in the trench bottorn, such soil shall be removed to a depth
required for the leagths designated by the Engineer, and the trench backfilled to trench
bottom grade, as herein specified, with coarse sand, fine gravei, or other suitable material.
' Backfill with earth under structures will not be permitted and any unauthorized excess
excavation below the Ievels indicated for the foundation of such structures, shall be filled
� with sand, gravel, or concxete, as directed.
14.30.1 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 accum.ulated i;n t�ie trenches sha�l be reznoved by pumping or
by other approved methods. During excavakion, material suitable for backfilling
' shall he stored in an arderly rnanner a minimum distance of one and one-half
times the depth of the excavation back from the edges of trenches to av�id
. overloading and prevent slides or cave-ins. Material unsuitable for backfzlling, as
� determined by the Engineer, shall be zernaved from the job site and aisposed of
by the Contractor in a manner as approved by the Engineer.
' 14.30.2 Sharing and Sheeting: All shoring, sheeting, and bracing reguired to
perform and protect the excavation and to safeguard employees and the public
shall be performed. The failvre of the Engineer to direct the placing of such
