SECTION III CONSTRUCTION. Excavations The excavation shall include the removal of all earth and other material to such a depth as to provide a minimum cover of thirty inches (30 ") measured between the top of the pipe and the surface of the street or right of way as that 2- surface existed before excavation was made. Trenches shall be of sufficient width to provide ample space for the proper laying of the pipe. The bottom of the trench shall be true and even to provide a uniform bearing along the full length of the pipe. All existing pipes, conduits, sewers and /or other struot- ures encountered during the excavation of the trench shall be carefully protected by the Contractor, and in the event of Injury, they shall be restored by him without additional com- pensation, to as good a condition as that in which they were found. Where existing driveways occur, the Contractor shall make provisions for trench crossings at these points by means of backfills or temporary bridges, as directed by the Engineer. Laying of Pine: All pipe shall be laid in a straight line. The bottom of the trench shall be dug to a uniform grade, in order that the pipe shall be laid on a firm foundation with a solid bearing the full length of the pipe. The Contractor shall remove any and all dirt, foreign matter or other debris from the inside of the pipe and clean the ends of all foreign matter such as rust, scale, paint, oil, or slag produced by oxyacetylene welding. The pipe shall be lined on rollers or dollies placed on skids set to uniform grade whenever necessary so that long strings of pipe may be easily rolled. A sufficient number of taok. welds shall be employed to assure proper alignment of pipe during the process of making the weld. All tack welds shall be thoroughly fused into the parent metal and the spacing between points after the taok -welds have cooled shall not be less than 1/16" nor more than 1/8 ". XELAING Pipe 8" or larger in diameter shall be welded using the electric welding process. All welds must be made in such a 3- manner that they will develop the full strength of the parent metal, and shall withstand a reverse bend test; that is, with the inside surface of the pipe in tension, thorugh an angle of 90 degrees, without showing any signs of fracture. TESTING OF WELDS The Contractor shall out out and deliver promptly to the Cityls Inspector complete welds or coupons from any place In any weld the Inspector marks. If the coupon tested meets these requirements specified under WELDING, the Contractor will weld a piece of the same type and kind of metal into the place from which the coupons were cut. If the test coupon does not meet with these specifications, the entire weld shall be out from the line and rewelded in a manner satisfactory to the Inspector. The City will pay the cost of cutting coupons and cost of rewelding wherever coupons tested meet the above specifications, but if the coupons fail to meet the specifications, the expense shall be borne by the Contractor. PROTECTION OF OPEN ENDS Thp open ends of all strings of pipe, three ,points or more in length, shall be securely closed with wooden plugs or other means approved by the Engineer, to prevent the entrance of dirt, debris, or water into the pipe line.

The Contractor shall not be required to install valve boxes and covers. This work will be done by the City. Sterilization and Tests: Careful inspection shall be made during the progress of the installation in order to eliminate 4- the possibility of any foreign matter getting into the pipe. As each point is laid, HTH shall be placed therein in such a quantity, which will provide not less than (10) parts per million (1,000,000) of free chlorine, when the pipe is filled with water, as hereinafter provided. Before the trench is backfilled, the entire installs-. tion to be tested shall be filled with water under no pressure for the purpose of dissolving said HTH and thereby steriliz- ing the installation. The entire installation shall satisfactorily withstand a hydrostatic test at one hundred (100) pounds per square inch pressure for a period of one (1) hour without showing any leak. Baekfilling_ Immediately on completion of the above test, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, all trenches and excavations shall be backfilled. The backfilling shall include the refilling and the consolidation of the fill in trenches and excavations up to the subgrade of the street or alley Improvements or to the original surface of the ground as the same existed before the excavation was made. Where the excavations do not supply sufficient material for making the fill, the Contractor shall supply the deficiency. No extra compensation shall be made for the supplying of such deficiency. Backfilling shall be done with good sound earth, sand or gravel, and no oil cake, macadam, bituminous pavement, concrete, rook or other lumpy material shall be used in making baekfill, unless the lumps are well scattered, do not exceed four inches (4 ") in diameter, and are not placed within one foot (10) of the surface. No material of a spongy, perish- able or otherwise improper nature shall be used in backfill- ing. 5.. All timber and debris shall be removed from the excavation. The baekfill shall be made to six inches (6 ") below street or alley grade or below the original surface of the ground by using shovels, scrapers, buckets or any other means the Contractor may elect, and shall be thoroughly consolidated by flooding. During flooding bars shall be used continuously in the manner directed by the Engineer, to facilitate the entry of the water into all parts of the baekfill. The backfill shall then be completed to the limits hereinbefore specified. Water will be furnished by the City to the Contractor without charge, HTH will also be furnished without charge.

CONCRETE THRUST BLOCKS: Concrete Thrust Block shall be constructed against fittings where shown on the plans and /or directed by the Engineer. All concrete blocks shall be placed on a firm.foundation against undisturbed earth. of: The concrete mix for concrete thrust blocks shall consist One Part of Portland Cement, Three Parts of Sand, and Five Parts of Rook, and shall be mixed in an approved type batch -mixer or by hand In a water -tight box in an approved manner. The slump for concrete when tested as provided for Slump Test by the American Society for Testing Materials shall not exceed two inches (2 "). Concrete Thrust Blocks shall be of the dimensions shown on the plans and /or directed by the Engineer and shall be paid for at the price per cubic foot bid. 6- SECTION IV RESPONSIBILITY: When a contract for the work herein specified Is executed, the Contractor shall assume the entire responsi- bility of the fob and shall hold the City of El Segundo, California, its officers, agents and /or employees free from any liability for damage of any nature whatsoever which may arise or occur in connection with the doing of said work.
