fabrication details and space requirements, or for deviations from the Con-
tract drawings or Specifications, unless the Contractor has called attention
to such deviations in writirq by a letter accompanying the drawings and the
Engineer approves the change or deviations in writing at the time of sub-
mission; nor shell approval by the Engineer relieve the Contractor from the

PIPELINE TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKPILL
A. SCOPE. This section covers the work necessary, for the trench excavation
and bockfill, complete, including all miscellaneous items of work required to
complete the construction specified hereunder.
A-1. Short Title. The term "Trench Excavation Standards," when used in
the Contract Documents, shall refer to the Standard Specifications for Pipeline
Trench Excavation and Backfill.
A-2. Tv re of backftll. Trench excavation and backflll will be divided
into the following different classifications for the purpose of payment:
Class B Backf111. Class B backfill will, in general, be used in
streets and roadways and In other areas where subsequent trench settlement
must be held to a minimum.
Class C Backfill. In general, it is anticipated that Class C backflll
will be us-1 throughout the In
where trenches are located in unsurfaced
areas and on street and road shoulders where prevention of subsequent trench
settlement is not considered critical.
Class D Backfill. In general, it is anticipated that Class D
backflll will be used on traveled roadways and crossings where pavement
replacement will be made shortly after backfilling and subsequent trench
settlement must be held to a minimum.
Class E Backfill. Class E bockfill will, in general, be used is
streets and roadwave on which gravel surfacing and oil mat surfacing are to be
replaced.
A-3. General. For bidding purposes, the class of Backfill to he used
is indicated � the Plans. The right Is reserved to modify the use, location,
and quantities _t the various types of backf111 during construction as the
Engineer considers to be to the best interest of the Owner, and no claims for
extra payment will be allowed for any deviation from the original, unless
specifically outlined In other portions of the Specifications. During con-
struction, the Engine: will designate the type of bockfill to he used in each
location throughout the project.
Excavation and backfili for railroae crossings, service connections, major
bridge underc. ,jsings, highway undercrossings, ditch crossings, river crossings,
and canal crossings will be included under other applicable stardards. Addi-
tional excavation for fire hydrants and similar appurtenances will be included
under payment for the respective appurtenances.
B. MATERIALS.
B-l. Trench Excavation. Trench excavation shall be classified as common
or rock excavation and shall include whatever materials are encountered to the
depths as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
P. Trench Exc. b Backfill Std. -1-
a. Common Excavation. Common excavation is defined as the removal
of all material which is not classified as rock excavation.
b. Rock Excavation. Rock excavation is defined as the removal of
all material vhich by actual demonstration cannot, in the Engineer's opinion,
be reasonably excavated with a 3/4-yard, Bucyrus Erie 22-B backhoe equipped
with a 19-foot boom, general duty dipper and rock points, or similar approved
equipment and which in, In fact, systematically drilled and blasted. The
Engineer reserves the right to waive the demonstration if the material en-
countered is well defined rock. The tern "rock excavation" shall be understood
to indicate a method of removal and not i geological formation.
Ro payment will be made for any method of rock removal other than system-
atic drilling and blasting. If the Contractor elects to mechanically remove
material which would be classified as rock by the above definition with
excavating equipment of a larger size than specified hereinbefore, it shall
be understood that the eat:sated costs for the removal of material by this
method shall be included in the unit prices for the various classifications of
common excavation
Before systematl: drilling and blasting will be permitted, the Contractor
shall expose the material by removing the common material above it; he shall
then notify the Engineer who, with the Contractor or his representative, will
measure the amount of material to be removed by drilling and blasting and will
record the information; the Cc rector shall then drill, blast, and excavate
the material. The method or me..hods of calculating and determining the quantity
of rock shall be agreed upon for each occurrence where rock excavations, as
herein defined, are encountered a_ ng the center line of the proposed pipeline.
All such agreements between the above-mentioned parties shall be made a matter
of record by both parties.

C. WORKMANSHIP.
C-1. General Construction Responsibilities and Procedures.
1. Public Safety and Convenience. The Contractor shall comply with
all rules and regulations of the City, State, and County authorities regarding
the closing of public scree- or highways to use of public traffic. No road
shall be closed 4v the Contractor to the public, except by express permission
of the Engineer. Traffic must be kept open on those roads and streets where
no detour is possible. The Contractor shall, at all times, conduct his work
so as to assure the least possible obstruction to traffic and normal commercial
pursuits. All obstructions within traveled roadways shall be protected by
approved signs, barricades, and lights where necessary or ordered by the
Engineer for the safety of the traveling public. The convenience of the
general public and residents along the pipelines, and the protection of persona
and property, is of prime importance, and provisions shall be made therefor by
the Contractor in an adequate and satisfactory manner.
P.T.E. b B. Std, -3-
The Contractor shall we every reasonable precaution to safeguard the
persons and property of the traveling public. Failure of the Engineer to
notify the Contractor to maintain barricades, barriers, lights, flares, danger
signals, or watchmen shall not relieve the Contractor from his responsibility.
All barricades and obstructions shall be protected at night by signal lights
which shall be suitably distributed across the roadway and kept burning from
sunset to sunrise.
Whenever the Contractor's operations create a hazardous condition, he
shall furnish flag-gin and guards as necessary or as ordered by the Owner to
give adequate warning to the public of any dangerous conditions to be en-
countered. he shall furnish, erect, and maintain approved fences, barricades,
lights, signs, and any other devices that may be necessary to prevent accidents
and to avoid dmiage and injury to the public. Flagmen and guards, while on
duty and assigned to give warning to the public, shall be equipped with approved
red wearing apparel and a red flag which shall be kept clean and in good repair.
The Contractor will be required to protect stored materials, cultivated
trees and crops, and other items located adjacent to the proposed construction.
Property owners affected by the construction shall be notified by the Con-
tractor at least 48 hours in advance of the time construction begins. During
all construction operations, the Contractor shall construct and maintain such
facilities as may be required to provide access by all property owners to
their property. No person shall be cut off from access to his residence or
place of business for a period exceeding 8 hours, unless the Contractor has
made special arrangements with the affected persons. The Contractor shall
provide for access at all times for livestock through farm areas; and no
portion of farmlands in which livestock are pastured shall be cut off from
ready access by the farm animals.
b. Progress of Construction. It is the intent of these Contract
Documents that the work shall proceed in a systematic manner so that a minimum
of inconvenience will result to the public in the touts of construction. It
ie, therefore, necessary that the Contractor confine his iterations to as small
a length of work area per crew as is feasible. Except uno , .. of H..�
Engineer, at no time shall the trenching equipment be farthe� thany inn feet
ahead of each pipe laying crew. Backfilling of the trench shall us accomplished
so no section of approved pipe shall be left open longer than 24 hours, except
by permission of the Engineer. Complete backfill and cleanup shall be seem-
plished after each section of pipe has been inspected and approved.
The Engineer reserves the right to withhold line and grade on any pipeline
when, in his opinion, excessive trench is being opened ahead of the pipe laying;
when backfilling behind the pipe laying is not proceeding satisfactorily; when
installation of appurtenant structures is seriously lagging behind the back-
filling; pipe testing, as outlined herein, is not satisfactory; and when
cleanup and restoration of all physical properties are lagging.
Cleanup of all construction debris, excess excavation, excess materials,
and complete restoration of all fences, mailboxes, ditches, culverts, sign-
posts, and similar items shall be completed immediately following the final
backfilling of the pipe trench.
P.T.E. b B. Std. -4-
c. Easements. Where portions o` the pipelines will be located on
private property, easements end permits will be obtained by the Owner. The
easements provide for the use of property for construction purposes to the
extent indicated on the easements. Copies of these easements and permits are
available from the owner for inspection by the Contractor. It shall be the
Contractor's responsibility to determine the adequacy of the easement obtained
in every use. The Contractor shall confine his const-uction operations to
within the easement limits or street right-of-way limits or make special
arrangements with the property owners for the additional area required. Any
damage to private property, either inside or outside the limits of the ease-
ments provided by the Owner shall be the responsibility of the Contractor as
specified herein. Before final payment will be authorized by the Engineer,
the Contractor will be required to furnish the Owner with written releases
from property owners where side agreements or special easements havy been made
by the Contractor or where the Contractor's operations, for any reason, have
not been kept within the .onstruction right-ofway, obtained by the Owner.
It is anticipated that all the required easements and permits will he
obtained before construction is started. However, should the procurement of
any easement or permit be delayed, the Contractor shall schedule hi- work in
such a way that his operations are confined to areas where easementj or
permits have been obtained or are not required, until such a time as 0,t
easement or permit has been secured.
d. Interferine Structures. The Contractor shall exercise all
possible caution to prevent damage to existing structures whether abovegro•
nr underground. An attempt has been made to show major structures on tht-
Plans. While the information has been compiled from the beet available
sources, its completeness and accuracy cannot he guaranteed, and it is presented
simply as a guide to possible difficulties.
All belowground and aboveground existing structures, whether or not they
lie within the limits of the easements obtained by the Owner, shall be protected
from damage; and where such existing fences, gates, barns, sheds, buildings, or
any other structure must be removed in order to properly carry out the con-
struction, or are damaged during construction, thev shall be restored to their
original condition to the satisfaction of the property owner involved at no
additional cost to the Owner. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of
any damaged underground structure, and repairs or replacements shall be made
before backfilling takes place.
Small miscellaneous structures, such as mailboxes, signposts, fenceposts,
etc., are not normally shown on the Plans. The Contractor stall remove and
replace such mall miscellaneous structures as are necessary for the pipeline
construction at his own expense without additional compensation from the
Owner. The Contractor shall replace these structures in a condit+on as good as
or better than theft original condition.
If the Contractor encounters existing structures which will prevent the
construction of the pipeline and which are not properly shown on the Plans,
he shall notify the Engineer before continuing with the construction 'n order
that the Engineer may make such field revisions as necessary to avoid conflict
P.T.E. 6 R. Std. -5-
with the existing structures. The cost of waiting or "downtime" during such
field revisions shall be borne by the Contractor without additional cost to
the Owner. If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Engineer when an
existing structure is encountered, but shall proceed with the construction
despite this interferen -, he shall do so at his two risk.
a. Contractor's Resnons bility for '.tiliry Properties and Service.
At points where the Contractor's ,,ptration. could cause damage which might
result n considerable expense, loss, and Inconvenience, such as excavations
adjacent to or near railway, telegraph, telephone, television, power, oil,
gas, water, sever irrigation, or other private or municipal systems, the
Contractor's working operations shall be suspended until all arrangements
necessary for the protection thereof have been made by the Contractor.
The Contractor shall notify all utility offices which are affected by the
construction operation at least 48 hours in advance. Under no circumstances
&hall the Contractor expose any utility without first requesting pecission
and being granted to de so from the af(Ncted agency. It shall be the Con-
tractor's responsibility, once permlssic:L has been granted, to locate, if
necessary, and expose all of the existing underground utilities in advance of
the trenching operation.
Power notes less than 5 feet from the trench center line will be removed
or protected at no cost to the Contractor. It shall be the Contractor's re-
sponsibility to protect all other poles from damage. If interfering power
poles, telephone poles, guy wires, or anchors are encountered, the Contractor
shall notify the Engineer at least 48 hours in advance of construction operations
to permit the necessary arrangements with the affected utility company for pro-
tection or relocation of the interfering structure.
The Contractor shall be solely and direttly responsible to the Owner
and operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss,
inconvenience, delay, suite, actions, or claims of any character brought
hecause of any injuries or damage which may result from the carrying out of
the work to be done under the Contract.
In the event of accidental, unintentional, and/or unauthorized ante-ruptinn
to nunicipal or private utility services as a result of the Contractor's oper-
ations, the Contractor shall promptly notify the roper authority. fie shall
cooperate with the said authority in restoration of service as promptly as
possible and shall bear all costs of repair. in no ca" shall interr,ptlon
of any utility service be, allowed to exist outside working hours, unle.,e prior
approval is received.
Neither the Owner not its officers or agents shall be re. :Onsible to the
Contractor for damages as a result of the location of the underground utilities
being other than that shown on the Plans or for the existence of underground
utilities not shown on the Plans.
The Cr.,tractor shall replace, at his own expense, all existing utilities
or structures removed or damaged during construction, unless otherwise provided
for in these Contract bocuments or ordered by the Engineer.
P.T.E.& B. Std. -6-
f. Field Relocation. During the progress of construction, it is
expected that minor relocations of the line will be necessary. Such relocations
shall be made only by direction of the F.nRineer. Unforeseen obstructions en-
countered as a reseit of such relocations wf ll not be sublects for tiaL.y for
additional compensation by the Contractor to any greater extent than wnule
have been the case had the obstructions been encountered along the on Rinal
location,
g. Site Restoration and Cleanup. The Contractor shall at all times
during the work keep premises clean and orderly, and upon completion of
the work shall leave Me project free cf rubbish or excess materials of any
kind.
During construction, the Contractor shall stockpile the excavated t^ench
matertais so as to do the least damage to adjacent lawns, grassed areas,
gardens, shrubbery, or fences, regardless of whether these are on private or
public property'. All excavated materials shall be removed from grassed and
planted areas; and these surfaces shall be left in a condition equivalent to
their original condition and free from all rocks, gravel, boulders, or other
foreign material. All existing drainage ditches and culverts shail be reopened
and graded and natural drainage restored.
Upon completion of all pipe laying and backfilling operations, the Coo--
tractor shall hand rake and drag all grassed and/or planted areas leaving all
disturbed areas free from rocks, gravel, clay, or any other foreign material
and ready, in all respects, for seeding by others the finished surface %hall
conform to the existing surface, and shall be free draining, free rrnm holes,
rough &pots, or other surface features detriment, to a seeded area.
Upon completion of the project, all areas ul the Contractor in
connection with the work shall be finished as toL ows: Project site, borrow,
and storage areas properly cleared of all temporary structures, rubbish, and
waste materials and property graded to drain and blend with the abutting
Property; any waste area obtained by the Contractor for deposit of waste
materials shalt be finished to properly drain and blend with the surrounding
terrain.
L. Street Cleanup During Const;action. All spilled dirt, gravel,
or other foreign material caused by the Contractor's operations shall be
cleaned from all streets and roads at the conclusion of each day's operntlnn.
C1aanlnR shall be by grader and front-end loader supplemented by wnshtng
with water, power brushing, and hand labor,

Contractor for hauling material to or from the construction area shall be
given an nil dust preveative treatment or shalt Se .,ntlr,nily watered to
prevent dust.
Dust prevention measures shall be continuous until final acceptance by
the Owner.
P.T.E. 6 B. Std. -7-
j. Irrigation and Drainage Ditches. The Contractor shall arrange
his schedules so that construction will not interfere with the irrigation of
cultivated lands or pasturelands. Construction operations shall be scheduled
during the nonirrigating season through irrigated lands or at the option of
the Contractor; construction may proceed during the irrigation season provided
the Contractor shall construct, at his Own expense, such temporary irrigation
ditches, turnouts, and miscellaneous structures approved by the Engineer which
shall permit the land to be Irrigated by others during constructron.
Following the backfill of the trenches, the Contractor shall t^-tore all
irrigation and storm drain ditches destroyed, damaged, or otherwise modified
during construction to a condition equivalent, in the opinion of the Engineer,
to the condition of the ditch before construction. Ditches so reconstructed
shall be built in their original locations, All backfill beneath ditches or
ditch banks shall be water settled as specified herein. Packflll materials
shall be so placed that the upper me foot of material contained in the re-
constructed ditch cross section shall be topsoil, loam, or clay. Sand, gravel,
or other porvirus materials shall pot be used in the construction of ditch
banks. An approved mechanical tamper shall be used to compact the upper one
foot of the ditch bottom and banks.
k. Street Cleaning. Within 5 days after completion of all paving
ar.d gravel shoulder resurfacing on any blerk or 500-font section of bituminous
or concrete surfaced streets or roads, the Contractor shall remove all dirt,
mud, rock, gravel, and other foreign material from the paved surface.
After anv section of street or road has been cleaned and accepted by the
Engineer, all subsequent cleaning will be the responsibility of the Owner.
1. Removal of Rock from Finished Surfaces. All loose rock and
boulders larger than 2-inch diameter occurrin,t on the surface of road or
street shoulders as a result of the Contractor's operations shall be removed
and disposed of by the Contractor.
Removal shall be by mechanical means or hand labor, or both if necessary.
All loose material larger than 2-inch diameter shall be ctmoved prior to
application of any required rock surfacing.

C-3. Obstructions. This item refers to obstructions which may be
removed and do not require replacement. Obstructions to the construction of
the trench such as, but not limited to, tree roots, stumps, abandoned pilini,
buildings and concrete structures, logs, rubbish, and debris of all types
shall be removed by the Contractor at his own expense without additional cope
sation from the Owner. The Engineer will, if requested by the Contractor, make
changes in the trench alignment to avoid major �bstruotlons, if such alignment
changes can be made within the perpetual easement and right-of-way and without
adversely affecting the intended fun.tioing of the facility. The Contractor
shall pay all additional costs resulting .'-om such alignment changes.
C-4. Removal of Topsoil. In all ca,:e3, where trenches cross lawns,
garden areas, pasturelands, cultivated fields, or other areas on which
reasonable topsoil conditions exist, the topsoil shall first be removed for
a depth of 12 inches for the full width of the trench to be excavated. This
topsoil shall he stockpiled to one side of the right-of-way and not mixed with
the remairing excavated material. The topsoil shall be replaced in the top
12 Inches of the backfilled trench. Minimum finished depth of topsoil over
all trenches shall be 10 inches. In lieu of stockpiling the top 12 inches of
soil, the Contractor may substitute approved loam topsoil from borrow pits in
the top 10 inches. The finished grade of the topsoil over the center line of
the trench shall be maintained by the Contractor, at his own expense, level
with the immediate area bordering the trench until final acceptance by the
Engineer. All damage to adjacent topsoil, as a result of the trenching or
pipe laying operations, shall be corrected by addition of topsoil, regrading
and removal of all rock. gravel, clay, and any other foreign materials from
the surface.
C-5. Pavement Removal. All bituminous and concrete pavements, regardless
of the thickness, shall be cut prior to excavation of the trenches with an
approved pavement saw, hydrohammer, or other approved breaker. Width of the
pavement cut shall be at least equal to the required width of the trench at
ground surface. Pavement removed during excavation shall be piled separately
from the earth spoil and removed from the site and shall not be used in back-

C. WORKMANSHIP
C-1. Proportioning,
a. Submission, of Samples of Materials. Immediately upon receipt
of notification to begin work and upon request of the Engineer, the Contractor
shall submit to the Engineer samples of the aggregate which he proposes to
use in the construction, together with samples of the cement and air-entraining
or cement-dispersion admixtures whici he plans to use.
b. Proportions. Proportions indicated in Table I of the Special
Specifications w 1T1 provide the basis for estimating the type of mixture and
the materials and methods necessary for placing the concrete, and are based
on the use of aggregates available locally in the vicinity of the work. The
actual proportions to be used will be based on tests made on samples - the
aggregate, cement, and admixture submitted by the Contractor. The Engineer
will make the necessary test and design the mixture. The Owner will bear the
expense of the tests necessary to design the concrete mixture for one set of
aggregate samples. Should the Contractor desire tests run or mixtures de-
signed for additional samples of aggregate, such tests shall be made by the
Engineer but shall be at the expense of the Contractor. Acceptance by the
Engineer of a giver, aggregate on the basis of preliminary tests shall not
prevent the Engineer from later rejecting aggregate from the same source if
subsequent tests indicate that the aggregate nc longer meets the requirements
for grading am; quality given herein.
The cement factor specified is that required for concrete of the desired
strength using local aggregates. The Contract is to be based on this ceme.rt
factor and the other proportions specified. If the subsequent mix design
indicates a change from the specified cement content is necessary, the Engi-
neer may order such change, and the Contract price shall be increased or
diminished accordingly, in proportion to the increase or reduction of cement
and the current market price of cement in the locality, unless otherwise
provided for in the Proposal. This price adjustment shall be made on the
basis of cost to the Contractor of cement only, without allowance for
Conc. Stds. -6-
overhead, profit, anticipated profits, or other indirect costs. If the
Contractor chooses to use other than local aggregate, and greater or lass
cement than that specified for local aggregate is required to obtain the
desired strength, or if he elects to increase the cement factor to correct
for shortages oO fines in the aggregate, or for any other reason, no
adjustment of the Contract price will. be made. Strength deter, inat,cns
will be made as specified under C-S.
c. Cement Factor. The cement factor given in the Special Specifi-
cations indicates t e num r of 94-pound sacks of cement per cubic yard of
concrete when the concrete !s in a freshly mixed condition. The volume of
the freshly mixed concrete shall be assumed to be the absolute volume of
the cement, plus the volume of the mixing wat-r, plus the displaced volumes
of the saturated, surface-dry aggregates. The quantity of mixing water to
be used in this calculation shall not include water absorbed by the aggregates.
d. Variations in Proportions. In order to obtain proper xcrk bil t:}
and a smooth, ens3" `e-Fmcgeneous, plastic mixture, free from segregation, the
percentage of fine aggregate may be varied during the progress of the work
with the approval of the Engineer.
e. Water Content and Slump Range. The maximum quantity of water
per 94 pounds o cement specs ed in t e Spacial Specifications shad be
based on saturated, surface-dry aggregates. The slump range indicated iu
the Special Specifications is intended as a guide to the Cobtractor for the
determinatiun of placing and compacting procedures and equipment. Withln
the range specified, the slump shall be as directed by the Engineer. If thr
concrete has a greater slump than the maximum indicated, the pmportlac cf
water shall be reduced to meet the slump requirements. If the concrete h.,s
a smaller slump than the minimum indicated, changes in the mixture sh:li iw
made as specified hereinbefcre in C-l.d. or water may be added with t".e
approval of the Engineer.

through the waterstop. Nails may be driven into the form and then bent over
the waterstop strip tO hold it in position. During any concrete pour around
the waterstop, the half which is being embedded in the concrete shall be
rigidly supported in an approved manner so that the final position of the
waterstop wall be in a straight line. Concrete being placed around the
waterstops shall be well vibrated in order to obtain impervious concrete in
the vicinity of all joints, In horizontal joints extreme care shall be taken
during the placing of concrete to insure that the area below the waterstop
is -ompletely filled with concrete. The method of installation of the
waterstop and the method to hold the waterstop in proper position during
and after the pouring of concrete shall be appr.,ved of by the ElU7. er before
the concrete pour is begun.

water into an excavation shall be diverted through proper side drains to
a sump or be removed by other approved methods.
c. Handling. bncrete snail be handled from the mixer, or in
the case of ready-mixed .onerc �e, from the transporting vehicle to the place
of final deposit as rapidly as practicable by methods which prevent the
separation or loss of the ingredients. Under no circumstances shall concrete
that has pa•' -al,y hardened be deposited in the work. Concrete shall be
deposited in the forms as nearly as practicable in its final position to
avoid rehandling. It shall be so deposited as to maintain, until the com-
pletion of the unit, a plastic surface approximately horizontal. Vertical
lifts or layers greater than 1-1/2 feet in depth shall not be allowed in
pouring wall sections. Total vertical lifts made in a single pour shall

shall be provided with openings or other devices that will permit the concrete
to be placed in a manner preventing segregation and accumulations of hardened
concrete on the forms or metal reinforcement above the level of the concrete.
Concrete shall be dropped no farther than a distance which will prevent
segregation of ingredients, but in no case more than 6 feet in wells 8 inches
or less in width, or more than 12 feet in wider walls unless chutes or trucks
are used. The buggy, the bucket, or the lower end of the chute from Which
the concrete is discharged shall be so positioned that the concrete is re-
leased within 2 feet horizontally of its final position. When deposited
in the forms, concrete shall have the required quality, regardless of the
type of transporting vehicle.
d. CChuttiing. When concrete is conveyed by chutes, the equipment
shall be of sucA size and design as to insure a continuous flow in the chute.
The slope shall not be less than one vertical to two horizontal and shall be
such as to prevent the segregation of the ingredients. The discharge end
of the chutes shall be provided with a baffle plate to prevont segregation.
Conc. Stds. -16-
When the operation is intermittent, the chute shall discharge into a hopper.
The chute shall be cleaned before and after each run, and the debris and
an- water used shall be discharged outside the forms.
e. Compacting. Concrete, during and immediately after depositing,
shall be worked into place and compacted by mechanical vibration. The con-
crete shall be worked around the reinforcement and into the corners of the
forms. Accumulations of water on the surface of the concrete due to .rater
gain, segregation, or other causes during placement and compacting shall be
prevented as far as possible by adjustments in the mixture. Provision shall
be made for the removal of such water as may accumulate so that under no
circumstances will concrete be placed an such accumulations. The number
and type of vibrators shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer.
Internal vibrators shall be used and they shall have a minimum frequency
of 7,000 vpm when the vibrator is r*mersed in the concrete. Vibration shall
not be applied through the reinforcement, either directly or indirectly.
Vibration shall not be applied to layers of concrete which have hardened to
the extent the concrete is no longer plastic. Vibration shall be continued
at each point of application until a decrease in volume is no longer apparent
and all trapped air has been removed, but shall not be continued to the
extent that localized areas of grout are formed. Vibration shall be applied
at evenly spaced points not farther apart than the radius over which vibration
is visibly effective such that the entire volume of concrete receives vibration.
Vibration shall not be used to make concrete flow in the forms over distances
so great as to cause segregation and in no case more than 2 feet.
f. Depositing Continuously. Concrete shall be deposited continu-
ously or in layers o�kness that no concrete will be deposited on
concrete which has hardeneu sufficiently to cause the .formation of seams
and planes of weakness within the section. If a section cannot be placed
continuously, construction joints may be located at points as provided for
in the Plans or approvec by the Engineer.
g. Bonding.
(1) ro New Concrete. Before depositing new concrete on or
against concrete whit has a one , the forms shall be retightened. The
surface of the hardened concrete shall be rougbened by green cutting, chipping,
or sanlblasting, as required by the Engineer so that sound concrete is exposed.
It shall be thoroughly cleaned of tore ign matter and laitance and saturated
with water. In case oil has been spilled on the surface to be bonded, this
oil must be removed by chipping out the oil-saturated concrete. To insure
an excess of mortar at the juncture of the hardened and the newly deposited
concrete, the cleaned and saturated surfaces, including inclined surfaces,
shall first be covered with a coating of mortar against which the new concrete
shall be placed before the grout has attained its initial set. On horizontal
construction joints, at least 2 inches of grout shall be provided. The pro-
portions of sand and cement in the grout shall be the same as those for the
sand and cement an the concrete mixture, and only sufficient water to provide
a consistency similar to that of thick cream shall be used.
(2) To Old Concrete. Where new concrete is to be placed
against old concrete, a bonding agent shall be used to coat the ss.rfaces of
Conc. Stds. -17-
the old concrete, unless otherwise specified in the Special Specifications,
The bonding agent shall be one of those specified in B-9 and the method of
preparation and application shall conform to the manufacturer's printed
instructions and recommendations. Mortar grout shall then be provided as
hereinbefore specified in
h. D1,ositing in ^_old Heather. Adeq�iate equipment shall be pro-
vided for heating t e concrete materials and protecting the concrete during
freezing or near-freezing weather. No frozen materials or materials con- '
taining ice shall be used. The temperature of concrete materials and all
reinforcement, fours, fillers, &nd ground with which the concrete is to
come i:, contact shall be above 32 degrees F.
Whenever the temperature of the surrounding air is below 40 degrees F.,
all concrete, when placed in the forms, shall have a temperature of between
50 degrees and 7 iegrees F. and shall be maintained at a temperature of not
less than 50 degrees r. for at least 6 days for normal concrete or u days for
high-early-strength concrete, or foe as much more time as is necessary to
insure proper rate of curing of the concrete. After artificial heating is
discontinued, the housing, covering, or other protection used in connection
with curing shall be dismantled in sucn a way that the fall in temperature
in all parts of the concrete will be gradual throughout the first 24 hours
and shall not exceed 40 degrees F. in 24 hours.
No dependence shall be placed on salt or other chemicals for the pre-
vention of freezing. Calcium chloride in amounts not exceeding 2 percent
by weight of cement may be used, with approval of the Engineer, except as
herei*after specified, to accelerate setting and reeuce the period of
protection required to a minimum of 3 days, but under no circumstances is
the calcium chloride to be considered an "antifreeze "
The use of calcium chloride, Pozzolith Nigh-Early, or other additives
which may be corrosive will not be permitted in any concrete that is to be
prestressed or which will be placed in contact with prestressed wire or
strand. Likewise, no such additives are permitted in concrete which embeds
or is in contact with aluminum.
I. Construction Joints. (See also page 12)
(1) Location. Joints not indicated on the Plans shall be so
made and located as to least impair the strength of the structure and shall
be approved by the Engineer prior to construction.
(2) Time Between Pours. At least 2 hours must elapse after
depositing concrete in the columns or walls before depositing in beams,
girders, or slabs supported thereon. Beams, girders, brackets, column
capitals, and haunches shall be considered as part of the floor system and -
shall be placed monolithically therewith.
(3) In Floors. Construction joints in fl,-rs shall be located
near the middle of the spans of slabs, beams, or girders, unless a beam inter-
sects a girder at this point, in which case the joint: in the girders shall
be offset a distance equal to twice the width of the beam. in this last
case, provision shall be made for shear by use of inclined reinforcement.
Conc. Stds. -18-
C-8. Tests of Concrete. luring the progress of construction, the
Engineer will make or have tests made to determine whether the concrete as
being produced complies with the standard specified. The Contractor shall
cooperate in the making of such tests to the extent of allowing free Access
to the work for the selection of samples and storage of specimens, assis-
tance in casting cylinders, and in affording protection to the specimens
against injury or loss through his operations. Specimens shall be made and
cured in accordance with ASTM C 31 and tested in accordance with ASTM C 39.
When a ratio between 7-day and 28-day strengths has been established
by these tests or by preliminary tests, the 7-day strength may be taken as
a satisfactory indication of the 28-day strength. Field strength shall
be assumed as equal to 85 percent of the strength of laboratory-cured
cylinders. The required compressive strength of concrete proportioned in
accordance with Table t of th Special Specifications is the field strength.
C-9. Finish.
a. General. Concrete which requires finishing shall not be poured
until the materials, tools, and labor necessary for finishing the wet concrete
are on the job and approved by the Engineer. All horizontal surfaces shall
be steel troweled, unless otherwise specified.
b. Patching. Defects in all concrete surfsces shall be cut out
and patched as specified herein. After removal of the forms, all imper-
fections, rock pockets, holes from form ties, and other defects shall be
chipped out to solid concrete. The surface of the cavity to be patched
shall be thoroughly wet before the patching mixture is applied. This mixture
shall be proportioned as set forth in B-5, herein, or it shall be of the
proportions of the original pour where uniform color is desired. The mixture
shall be tamped solidly into the cavity to be patched and shall then be
cured. (See C-10)
Where the pull-out type ties are used, the holes shall be filled as
recommended by the manufacturer of the ties.
c. Unex osed Wall Finish. Immediately after removal of the forma,
all rock pockets rom t e o es an other irregularities shall be patched
as specified in C-9.b. and cured as specified in C-10. No further finishing
will be required.
d. Ordinary Wall Finish. Ordinary wall finish requires the use
of new plywood will produce a uniform surface. The
number of ioints should be kept to a minimum. Immediately after removal
of the forms, all defects shall be patched and patches cured as specified
in C-10. After pointings have set sufficiently, all form marks and pointing
shall be ground or filled to give a smooth surface even with the flat well
surface.
e. Rubbed Wall Finish.
(1) Class I. The rubbing shall be done immediately after
the patching of rock pockets and form tie holes have set sufficiently. In
Conc. Stds. -19-
all cases, except where it is strecturally im
within 5 days, the rubbing shall be done

water shall not be used in troweling, nor will excessive troweling be per-
mitted.
12) Rough Slab Finish. Slabs to receive fill and mortar-
setting beds shall be fink e y sereeding with straightedges to bring
the surface to the required finish plane. All laitance shall be removed and
the surface left clean.
(3) Wood-float Finish. Exterior slabs and ramps and roof
slabs, unless otherwise spec; ie in the Special Specifications, shall be
finished by screeding with straightedges to bring the surface to the required
line as shown on the Plans. While the concrete is still green but hardened
sufficiently to bear the cement finisher's weight, the surface shall be wood
floated to a true and uniform plane with no coarse aggregate visible.
(4) Brocmed Finish. Where broomed finish is specified, the
concrete shall be finished as specified for monolithic floor finish above,
except the final troweling shall be witted and the surface shall be finished
by drawing a fine-hair broom lightly across the surface. All brooming shall
be in the same direction and parallel to expansion joints, or, in the case
of inclined slabs, perpendicular to the slope.
($) Power Machine Finish. In lieu of hand finishing, the
Contractor may use an approve power machine for finishing concrete floors
in slabs in accordance with the directions of the machine manufacturer as
approved by the Engineer.
i. Sidewalk Finish. After the concrete has been deposited in
place, it shall be compacted and the surface shall be struck off by means
of a strike board and floated with a wooden or cork float. Joints shall be
provided as specified in C-S.a. An edging tool shall be used on all edges
and at all expansion joints. The surface shall not vary more than 118 inch
under a 10-foot straightedge. The surface shall have a granular or matted
texture which will not be slick when wet, or it shall be broomed at right
angles to the direction of traffic. Wal}s shall slope 1/4 inch per foot
away from structures, unless otherwise shown on the Plans.
Sidewalk surfaces shall be laid out in blocks with an approved grooving
tool as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer.
h. Screeded Finish on Clarifier Slabs. The concrete topping for
the floor of clarifier tanks sha!1_n_.t_Tr_pla`c_e7 until the equipment for
the tanks has been completely installed and in wrorking order. All laitance
shall be removed from the surface of the concrete with a wire brush and the
surface shall then be thoroughly cleaned and washed. The concrete base shall
be kept constantly wet for a period of 24 hours and then hand-swept with
grout as specified under C-7,j,(1) before placing the concrete topping.
After placing the concrete topping, it shall be swept by the collector
mechanism until the surface conforms accurately to the profiles of the
blades on the raking aim and, if necessary, shall be troweled with a steel
trowel to a smooth, even surface, The topping shall 4e kept wet using a
hose with fine spray, and as soon as t i concrete topping is sufficiently
C nc. Stds. .21-
hard, the tank shall be filled with water to a sufficient height to cover
the anti re floor for a period of 7 days. This topping coat shall consist
of one part standard portland cement, and 2 parts of sand as specified in
B-3.
C-10. Curing of Concrete.
a. Curin . Curing of concrete shall be accomplished by keeping
the surface continuously wet for 7 days where normal portland cement is used,
or 3 days when high-early-strength cement is used. Subject to approval by
the Engineer, one of the following methods shall be followed: -
WALLS
(1) Concrete forma shall be left in place and kept sufficiently
damp at al. times to prevent opening of the joints and drying of the concrete;
or
(2) An approved curing compound shall be applied immediately
after removal of forms, except where finishing is required. in this case,
forms will be kept damp as required above until removed. where rubbed finish
is required, curing compound shall be applied immediately upon completion of
finishing, and the unfinished, exposed surfaces shall be kept wet by sprinkling
until finishing begins. When ordinary wall finish is required, curing com-
pound shall be applied immediately after removal of the forms and the com-
pound chipped off or otherwise removed where patching or pointing is required.
Compound shall not he applied to surfaces which are to later be bonded to
new concrete; or
(3) Exposed surfaces shall be continuously sprinkled.
SLABS
(1) Protect surface by por,ding; or
(2) Cover with burlap or cotton mats kept continuously wet; or
(3) Cover with one-inch laver of wet sand, earth, or sawdust,
and keep continuously wet; or
(u) Continuously sprinkle the exposed surface.
b. Protection in Cold Weather. Concrete shall be protected in
cold weather as specified in -
C-11. Hardener A lication. Cloors to receive hardener shad M cured,
cleane , an perfect y ry .1
th all work above them completed. Zinc and/or
magnesium fluosilicat^ lahall be applied evenly, using 3 coats, allowing
24 hours between coats; the first coat shall be 1/3 strength, :ond coat
112 strength, and third coat 2/3 strength; each coat shall be applied so as
to remain wet on the concrete surface for 15 minutes. Sodium silicate shall
be applied evenly, using 3 coats, allowing 24 hours between coats; the material
shall be applied full strength at the rate of 1/3 gallon per 100 square feet.
Conc. Stds. -22-
Approved proprietary hardeners shall be applied in conformance with the manu-
facturer's instructions. After the final coat is completed and dry, surplus
hardener shall be removed from the surface by scrubbing and mopping with
water.
C-12. Block-Guts for Pie and Conduit. Where pipe or conduit passes
into or through concrete walls, loors, or roof slabs, the Contractor may,
to facilitate proper alignment, leave holes through the concrete and pour
the concrete opening after the pipe or conduit is in place. The size of
such openings shall be 2 inches larger than the outside diameter of the bell,
flange, or coupling, and shall conform to the special details for pipe open-
ings shown or. the Plans. When the piping or conduit is entirely placed and
securely anchored, the concrete openings through the walls will be poured in
accordance with the requirements for bonding new concrete to old as set forth
in C-7.g. Concrete used to pour these openings shall consist of one part
cement, one part fine aggregate, one part nonshrinking aggregate, and
1-1/2 parts coarse aggregate of maximum size of 1/2 inch when the con^rete
is part of a liquid-holding basin. Otherwise, the nonshrinking aggregate
shall be replaced by fine aggregate. Concrete poured in these openings shall
be thoroughly vibrated or rodded to insure a watertight joint between the new
and old concrete, and the new concrete and the pipe or conduit. The form for
the closure shall be constructed with a pouring funnel. A plug of concrete
shall be left in the pouring funnel. After the concrete has taken its initial
set, the plug shall be removed and the exposed, broken `ace ground smooth.
Pouring of block-out holes shall be done from the pressure side wherever
possible. Such joints shall be cured by keeping them constantly wet for
not less than 7 days.
Where approved by the Engineer, block-out holes may be drypacked using
a grout proportioned and mixed as specified in B-5.a. This mixture shall
be tamped or rodded solidly into the space from the pressure side. A backing
board or stop shall be provided at the back side of this space against which
the dry mixture can be tamped.
C-13. Grouting Machinery Foundations. Where machinery is to be secured
by ar= aolts set in concrete an supported on foundations which are to be
grouted in place, the original concrete pour shall be blocked out or finished
off a sufficient distance below the bottom of the machinery foundation to
provide for the thickness of grout shown on the Plans. After the machinery
has been set in position and wedged to the proper elevation by steel wedges,
the space between the bottom of the machinery foundation and the original
pour of concrete shall be caulked with a drypack grout proportioned and
mixed as specified in B-5•a. This dry mixture shall be tamped or rodded
solidly into the space between the machinery foundation and the original
concrete. A backing board or stop shall be provided at the back side of
• this space against which the dry mixture can be tamped.
f.-lu, Leaks a Tests. After the final pour of concrete on basins which
are to su betted to eakage tests has been cured for 14 days, and before
backfill or brick facing or other work which will cover the exposed faces
of the walls of the basins has been completed, the bas_3 specified in the
Special Specifications to be subjected to leakage tests shall be filled with
water to the normal liquid level line. Unless otherwise specified in the
Conc. Stds. -23-
Special Specifications, water for this test shall be provided by the Con-
tractor, After the basin has been kept full for 48 hours, it will be assumed
for the purposes of the test that the absorption of moisture by the concrete
in the basin is complete, All valves and gates to the structure shall then
be closed and the change in water surface measured for a 2e-hour period.
During the test period, all exposed portions of the structure shall be
examined and any leaks or damp spots shall be marked and such leaks or
damp spots shall be later patched or corrected in any case. If the drop
in water surface in the 24-hour period exceeds 1/10 of one percent of the
normal volume of liquid contained in the basin, the leakage shall be con-
sidered excessive. If the leakage is excessive, the water surface shall be
dropped by stages and the leakage measured at each stage until the area in
which the leakage occurs has been isolated. The basin shall then be drained,
all leaks previously marked shall be patched, and the necessary repairs made
in the area where leakage is indicated. The basin shall then be refilleu and
again tested for leakage. This process shall be continued until the drop in
water surface in a 24-hour period wit,, the basin full is less than ..;10 of
one percent of the volume of liquid held in the basin, If the cause of
excessive leakage is found to be faulty workmanship or materials, the cost
of repairs and subsequent tests shall be borne by the Contractor. If the
leakage is found to be due to causes not under the Contractor's control, the
cost of repairs and subsequent tests after the first shall be paid for by
the Owner as extra work.

c. Lead Joints.
(1) Heating and Pouring of Lead. Lead shall be heated -
in a melting pot kept in easy reach of the joint to be poured so that the
molten metal will not be chilled in being carried from the melting pot to
the jou.t. The lead shall be brought to a proper temperature so that,
when stirred, it will show a rapid change of color. Before pouring, all
scum shall be removed from the surface of the molten lead. Each joint
shall be made with one continuous pour, filling the entire joint space with
solid lead. Spongy or imperfectly filled joints shall be burned out and
repoured.
(21 Position of Joint Runner. The joint runner shall fit
snugly against the face of the bell and the outside of the pipe and hall be
dammed with clay to form d pouring lip to provide for filling the joint
flush with the face and to the top of the bell.

cast iron pipe va r,es slightly with different manufacturers, avid the parti-
cular pipe furnished shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations as approved by the Engineer. In general, the procedure
shall be as hereinafter specified. The ends of the pipe shall be cleaned of
all dirt, mud, and foreign matte! by washing xith hater and scrubbing
vigorously with a wire brush, after which the gland and gasket shall be
slipped on the plain end. If necessary, the pipe end may be lubricated
•rith soapy water to facilitate sliding the gasket in place. The end of
the pipe shall then be guided carefully into the bell of the pipe previously
laid. The spigot shall be centrally located in the bell, the gasket placed
in position, and the bolts inserted in the holes.

1-1/4 00 - 120 14
When tightening bolts, the gland should be brought up toward the
flange evenly, maintaining approximately the same distance between the
gland and the face of the flange a- all points around the socket. This shall
be done by partially tightening the bottom bolt first, then the top bolt, .
next the bolts at either side, and last, the remaining bolts This cvcle
should be repeated until all bolts are within the required range of torques.
If effective sealing is not attained at the maximum torque, the joint shall
be disassembled and reassembled after thorough cleaning. Overstressing
of bolts to compensate for pour installation practice shall be avoided
C-5. Jointing Robber Gasket Joint Pipe. Cast iron pipe with
