along the sides of the pipe. Refer to the Standard Drawings for minimum trench widths for various
diameter pipes. Make excavations for manholes and other structures wide enough to provide a
minimum of 300 mm (12 inches) between the structure surface and the sides of the excavation. Keep
the top of the trench within right-of-way or permit limits.

(d) Trench Grade - Excavate trenches to the lines and grades shown or as established, with
proper allowance for pipe thickness, pipe bedding and foundation stabilization. Place pipe bedding on a
firm, undisturbed, foundation, true to grade. If the trench is excavated below grade without
authorization, restore to grade with material of the type specified for pipe bedding at no cost to the
Agency. Place the material over the full width of the trench, in compacted layers not exceeding 150 mm
(6 inches).

(e) Disposal of Excess Material - Place excavated material at locations and in such a manner
that it does not create a hazard to pedestrian or vehicular traffic, or interfere with the function of existing
drainage facilities.

Make arrangements for and dispose of all excess material not required elsewhere on the Project in an
approved manner, at no cost to the Agency, and according to 00310.43(d).00330.41.

(f) Trench Protection - Provide the materials, labor and equipment necessary to protect trenches
at all times. Provide safe working conditions in the trench and protect the work, existing property,
utilities, pavement, and the public. The method of protection shall be according to the Contractor's
design. The Contractor may elect to use any combination of shoring, overbreak, tunneling, boring,
sliding trench shields or other methods of accomplishing the work, provided the method meets with the
approval of the Engineer and complies with all applicable local, state, and federal safety codes.

Be responsible for damages resulting from improper removal of shoring or from failure to shore.

(g) Existing Abandoned Facilities - Remove and dispose of existing abandoned pipe, structures
and other facilities as necessary to construct the trench according to 00310.41(c). Abandon pipe in
place according to 00490

00405.42 Rock Excavation - Where rock excavation as defined in this Section is required,
remove the rock to provide the minimum clearances shown on the Standard Drawings. Excavate and
remove the overburden and expose the rock to allow the Engineer to measure the rock prior to removal.

If using explosives, comply with the requirements of 00170.94. Prior to blasting, obtain the approval of
the Engineer and the appropriate permits. Provide all tools and devices required for loading and using
explosives, blasting caps and accessories. When blasting rock in trenches, cover the area to be shot
with blasting mats or other protective material to prevent the scattering of rock fragments outside of the
excavation.

00405.43 Dewatering - Promptly remove and dispose of all water entering the trench during the
time the trench is being prepared for the pipe laying, during the laying of the pipe and until the backfill at
the pipe zone has been completed. Dispose of the water in an approved manner without damage to
adjacent property.

Control groundwater to prevent softening of the bottom of excavations or formation of "quick" conditions
or "boils". Design and operate dewatering systems to prevent removal of the natural soils and so that
the groundwater level outside the excavation is not reduced to the extent that would damage or
endanger adjacent structures or property.

750132162.doc Page 4 of 66
 FIRST DRAFT
6/13/2006
When dewatering near a river, lake, or stream, conform to the requirements of 00290.30(a) and Section
00280. When the presence of water or other conditions in the excavated area would be detrimental to
the purpose of the work, obtain approval of the Engineer for the temporary measures required to correct
or care for the condition.

If water or other conditions encountered require permanent correction or care not anticipated by the
Contract and not due to the Contractor’s neglect or method of operation, perform the work according to
00140.60.

00405.44 Trench Foundation - Make the full length and width of completed trench bottoms
firm. Do not place bedding material before the trench foundation is inspected and approved. If bell and
spigot pipe is used, recess the trench bottom to accommodate the bell.

When, in the judgment of the Engineer, the existing material in the bottom of the trench is unsuitable for
supporting the pipe, excavate below grade, as directed. Replace the excavated material with imported

trench foundation material conforming to 00405.11. Place the backfill trench foundation material in 150
mm (6 inch) layers and compact according to 00330.43 except selected stone backfill material shall be
compacted in 12 inch layers. Bring the backfill trench foundation material to the elevation established.

00405.45 Pipe Bedding - Spread the bedding smoothly to the proper grade so that the pipe is
uniformly supported along the barrel. Excavate bell holes at each joint to permit proper assembly and
inspection of the joint. Bedding under the pipe shall provide a firm, unyielding support along the entire
pipe length.

00405.46 Backfilling - Backfill with material conforming to 00405.13 and the details shown, or
as directed.

(a) General - Begin backfilling when:

 The foundation has been prepared, if required

 The bedding has been prepared
 The drainage facilities and fittings are installed
 The installation has been inspected and approved

Thoroughly tamp and compact all trench backfill with machine or pneumatic operated tampers of a size
and type that will obtain the required density.

Test for density according to 00330.43.

Backfill either to the top of the trench, the surrounding ground level, or the upper limit of excavation, as
directed. Dispose of excess excavated material not used in backfill work according to Section 00330.

(b) Pipe Zone - Place the materials in the pipe zone in layers not greater than 150 mm (6 inches)
thick and in a manner that equalizes pressure on the structure and minimizes stress. Before placing
backfill material, condition, aerate, or wet the material so that the moisture content of each layer is
within minus 4% to plus 2% of optimum moisture content.

As required under the haunches of pipe and in areas not accessible to mechanical tampers or to
testing, compact with hand methods to ensure intimate contact between the backfill material and the
pipe or structure. Provide thorough compaction.

Ponding or jetting will not be permitted within the pipe zone.

(c) Trench Backfill - The following requirements apply in the trench backfill area and in the pipe
zone, except where in conflict with the requirements of (b) above:

(1) General - Use Class B trench backfill unless otherwise specified or approved.

The Engineer may sample excavated material to determine the suitability of the Class A material
for use as backfill. If the material is approved, the Contractor may elect to use the material in place
of the specified backfill. Prevent excavated material from becoming saturated beyond the critical
moisture limits, and replace any saturated Class A material with Class B, C or D material, as
specified, at no additional cost to the Agency.

(2) Class A, B, C, or D Backfill - Backfill the trench above the pipe zone in successive lifts. Do
not allow the backfill to free-fall into the trench until at least 1 m (3 feet) of cover is provided over
the top of the pipe. Modify the method of compaction as necessary to protect the pipe.

Compact the top 1 m (3 feet) of trench backfill material within the roadway and shoulders, and
within a 2V:1H slope line projected from each subgrade shoulder, to not less than 95% of maximum
density. Compact all other trench backfill material to not less than 90% of maximum density.

Determine the maximum density by AASHTO T 99WAQTC TM 9. If the specified compaction is not
obtained, the Contractor may be required to use a modified compaction procedure or reduce the
thickness of lifts. If approved materials meeting the Specifications cannot be compacted to the
required density regardless of compactive effort or method, the Engineer may reduce the required
density or direct that alternate materials be used. Do not proceed with excavation and pipe laying
operations until the backfill can be compacted to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

If the material is not density testable, the Engineer will observe each layer for deflection or reaction
under the compaction equipment to verify that no soft or pumping areas remain. Compact until
there is no perceptible deflection under the compaction equipment.

When the backfilling is complete, finish the surface area as specified. In paved or graveled areas,
maintain the surface of the trench backfill level with the existing grade with 19.0 mm - 0 (3/4" - 0)
crushed aggregate material, or asphalt concrete if directed, until final pavement replacement is
complete and accepted.

(3) Class E Backfill - Backfill the trench above the pipe zone with CLSM material. If the CLSM is
to be used as a temporary surfacing, backfill the CLSM to the top of the trench and strike it off to
provide a smooth surface. If the CLSM is not to be used as a temporary surfacing, backfill the
CLSM up to the bottom of the proposed resurfacing. No compaction of CLSM is allowed. Use
steel plates to protect the CLSM from traffic a minimum of 24 hours. After 24 hours, the CLSM may
be paved, or opened to traffic until permanent surface restoration is completed, if it has hardened
sufficiently to prevent rutting.

(d) Ponding or Jetting of Backfill Materials - Ponding or jetting will not be permitted within
roadbed lateral limits. Ponding or jetting will be permitted outside roadbeds when approved by the
Engineer in writing.

Use Class C or D trench backfill material at the Contractor's expense. Provide drainage at the bottom
of the trench to remove water from the jetting operation. Compact to the density and deflection
requirements of 00405.45(a).

Furnish equipment that provides a minimum gauge pressure of 240 kPa (35 psi) at the discharge
nozzle. Use a rigid pipe that will reach within 0.3 m (1 foot) of the bottom of the backfill. Insert the pipe
at intervals not exceeding 1.2 m (4 feet) throughout the entire width and length of the trench backfill.

(e) Temporary Trench Plating - When temporary steel plates are installed over a street cut, they
shall be capable of carrying at least an MS-18 loading. Place steel plates with a minimum of 300 mm
(12 inches) bearing on all sides of a cut. Anchor steel plates to minimize shifting. Shim the edges of all
steel plates with cold mix asphalt.

(f) Restoration of Streambeds - Comply with 00290.30(a) and Section 00280. Upon completion
of the work:

 Restore the streambed to its former condition of resistance to scour.

 Remove all matter that has come into the stream due to the Contractor's activities.

00405.48 Surface Removal:

(a) General - For trench resurfacing see Section 00495.

(b) Topsoil - Where trenches cross lawns, garden areas, pastures, cultivated fields or other areas
on which topsoil exists, remove the topsoil to a minimum 300 mm (12 inch) depth and place the material
in a stockpile. Do not mix the topsoil with other excavated material. After the trench has been
backfilled, replace the topsoil.

In lieu of stockpiling the topsoil, approved imported topsoil may be substituted, to a depth specified or
approved, at no cost to the Agency.

Maintain the finished grade of the topsoil level with the area adjacent to the trench until final acceptance
by the Engineer, and repair damage to adjacent topsoil caused by the Contractor’s operations. Remove
all rock, gravel, clay and other foreign materials from the surface. Regrade and add topsoil as required.

(c) Pavement, Curb, and Sidewalk - Use saws to cut portland cement concrete pavement, curbs
and sidewalks, regardless of thickness. In bituminous pavement, when no pavement overlay will occur,
saw-cut the pavement along each edge of the area to be removed. Saw cutting is not required in
roadways that will receive a pavement overlay.When roadways will receive a pavement overlay as part
of the project or following the trench resurfacing, bituminous pavement to be removed may be cut by
wheel cutter, jack hammer, or other approved means.

Upon completion of backfill and just prior to pavement re-surfacing, saw the surfacing on both sides of
the trench a minimum of 150 mm (6 inches) wider than each top of the trench. In areas of any
undermined or damaged surfacing, re-saw to a width outside these areas. When saw-cutting, follow
lines parallel to the pipe centerline.

Where the width changes in areas of asphalt pavement re-surfacing, cut the transition between the
different widths at 45 degrees. When the pipe line changes direction, or there is a connecting pipe line
that requires the saw cut alignment to change at an angle greater than 60 degrees, make a minimum
600 mm (24 inch) transition saw cut. If there is damaged or undermined surfacing at the transition
point, make the transition saw cut beyond the damaged or undermined surfacing. Make the transition
saw cut angle half the angle change in the direction of the pipe line or connecting line.

If the asphalt surfacing is to be overlaid, the second saw cut will only be required to firm subgrade.

A second saw cut for concrete sidewalks, driveways and pavements will not be required unless needed
to reach firm subgrade.

Remove and dispose of pavement lying within the limits of the cuts and from any adjoining areas
damaged by the cutting and removal operations according to Section 00310.

Do not place concrete on contact surfaces until the mastic coating has dried to practical hardness. The
coating is considered to have reached practical hardness when firm pressure between the thumb and
fingers shows a slight tacky condition, but the film is not ruptured, and none of the coating adheres to
the fingers.

00445.48 Tracer Wire - Install tracer wire in all trenches for sanitary and storm sewers. Place
the tracer wire directly over the pipe centerline and on top of the pipe zone material. Splice a branch
tracer wire at each manhole and extend a single wire up the outside of the manhole. Drill a 10 mm (3/8
inch) diameter hole through the manhole wall within 0.5 m (18 inches) of the finish grade of the manhole
rim. Extend the wire through the hole with a 1 m (3 foot) minimum length of coiled wire inside the
manhole. Seal the opening in the manhole wall with silicone sealant. Place a branch tracer wire over
each pipe connected to the main sewer.

Make tracer wire splices using a solderless connection kit that effectively moisture seals two or more
conductors for direct burial, and securely join the wires both mechanically and electrically.
Make tracer wire splices using a high-pressure compression type solderless connector to securely join
the wires both mechanically and electrically. Insulate splices to be moisture and waterproof. Splices
wrapped with tape will not be accepted as waterproof. Have all splice kits approved prior to installation.

Test all tracer wire with locating equipment prior to acceptance.

Construction

50
 FIRST DRAFT
6/13/2006

00470.40 General:

(a) Excavation, Backfill and Foundation Stabilization - Excavate and backfill according to
Section 00405. When specified, or as directed, remove unstable material that will not support the
manhole or other structure, excavate below grade and backfill with trench foundation stabilization
material according to Section 00405.

(b) Pipe Connections - Place connecting pipe at the required alignment and grade. Set the
connecting pipe through the full thickness of the wall flush with the inner face of the wall. Ensure that
pipe connections to the structure are completely watertight. Connect all pipe to manholes according to
the manufacturer's recommendations.

Grout concrete pipe connections to manholes so they are watertight ,using non-shrink grout conforming
to 02440.50. When grouted into the manhole section, the pipe section shall not extend more than 18
inches0.6 m (2 feet) outside the manhole. If an approved flexible connection for concrete pipe is
provided at the manhole, full or partial pipe sections may be stubbed into the manhole as required.

Connect flexible pipe to sanitary manholes using an approved adapter specifically manufactured for the
intended service. Use only flexible pipe adapters from the QPL. Do not use field-fabricated waterstops
or improvised adapters. Adapters requiring the use of grout for installation shall be anchored and
finished using non-shrink grout conforming to 02440.50.

00470.41 Precast Concrete Manholes - Precast manhole components may be used to

construct standard, drop and carry-through manholes.

(a) Bases - If bases are cast in place, consolidate the concrete by mechanical vibration. Screed
off the concrete so that the first manhole section to be placed has a level, uniform bearing for the full
circumference.

If bases are precast, carefully place the base section on the prepared bedding so as to be fully and
uniformly supported at true grade and alignment.

Construct the invert to match that of the sewer pipe. Where the size of the sewer pipe is changed at the
manhole, construct the invert to form a smooth transition without abrupt breaks or unevenness of the
invert surfaces. Where a full section of concrete sewer pipe is laid through the manhole, break out the
top to the springline of the pipe for the full width of the manhole, and completely cover the exposed
edge of the pipe with mortar. During construction divert existing flows of water or sewage away from
new concrete or mortar surfaces to prevent damage to the fresh concrete or mortar until the initial set
has been achieved.

(b) Precast Manhole Sections - Thoroughly wet all lift holes, completely fill with nonshrink grout,
and smooth and point both inside and out to ensure watertightness.

(1) Sanitary Manholes - Use preformed plastic or rubber gaskets on all joints between manhole
sections.

(2) Storm Manholes - Non-shrink grout is allowed on joints, and on 600 mm (24 inch) extension
rings above the cone. In roadways and other areas intended for traffic, a minimum of one 600 mm
(24 inch) diameter precast riser is required between the cone and manhole cover frame.

When grout is used do the following:

 Clean and wet the surfaces to be joined with water.

51
 FIRST DRAFT
6/13/2006

 Apply non-shrink grout to the lower portion of the bell or groove of the section already laid
and to the upper portion of the spigot or tongue of the section being laid.

 Clean the joint recesses, fill completely with non-shrink grout and wipe to a smooth finish
both inside and out.

 Do not allow free water to come in contact with grout joints within 24 hours after the
mortared joints are finished.

 Protect the completed joints against rapid drying.

(c) Grates, Frames, Covers and Fittings - Set metal frames for manholes and sumps on full
non-shrink grout beds to prevent infiltration of surface water or groundwater between the frame and the
concrete of the manhole section. If concrete is to be poured around the frames, coat the portion of the
frame that will contact the concrete with hot asphalt before placing the concrete. Set frames, covers
and grates true to the locations and grades established. Clean bearing surfaces and provide uniform
contact. Secure all fastenings. Construct all mortared, sanitary sewer manhole necks and all riser ring
joints made with non-shrink grout using an approved commercial concrete bonding agent applied to all
cured concrete surfaces being grouted.

00470.42 Precast Concrete Catch Basins and Inlets - Install precast catch basins and inlets
to the specified line and grade.

00470.43 Cast-in-Place Concrete Construction:

(a) General - Construct cast-in-place manholes, inlets, siphon boxes and concrete slope
protectors according to Section 00440. Finish all inside surfaces smooth and free of depressions or
protrusions. Form exterior surfaces with steel, plywood or other approved materials. Form other
surfaces with matched boards, plywood, or other approved material. Do not cast directly against trench
walls, rock, or earth.

(b) Cast-in-Place Catch Basins and Inlets - Construct forms for both the inside and outside
walls of cast-in- place catch basins. Forms shall be tight and well braced, with chamfered corners.
Remove all water and debris prior to placing concrete.

Consolidate the concrete immediately after placement with an approved vibrator. Limit vibration time to
that necessary to produce satisfactory consolidation without causing segregation. Screed the top
surface and trowel exposed surfaces to a smooth finish, free from marks or irregularities. Radius
exposed edges with a steel edging tool. After forms are removed, patch any defects in the concrete
with an approved mortar mix.

Immediately after removal of forms and final finishing, cure according to 00440.40(e).

00470.45 Steps and Ladders - Fasten steps and ladders to the manhole walls according to the
manufacturer’s recommendations and as shown.

00470.46 Corrugated Pipe Slope Protectors - Construct corrugated metal slope protectors
according to the plans and the applicable requirements of Section 00445.

00470.48 Sump Backfill - Place and compact granular backfill material around concrete sumps
in layers no more than 300 mm (12 inches) thick and according to 00330.43. Avoid damage or
displacement of the structure.

52
 FIRST DRAFT
6/13/2006

00470.49 Concrete Inlet Base Drains - Provide concrete inlets with base drains leading from
abutting aggregate base or selected granular backfill material.

Use nonreinforced concrete pipe, concrete drain tile, polyethylene pipeHDPE or polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) plastic pipe for basin drains. Place and compact backfill without damaging pipe or inlet.

Maintenance, Clean up and Testing

00470.70 Cleaning - Upon completion, clean each structure of accumulated silt, debris or
foreign matter of any kind and keep clean until final acceptance of the work.

00470.71 Sanitary Manhole Acceptance Testing - Field test all sanitary sewer manholes for
acceptance by either hydrostatic or vacuum testing after completion of backfilling, compaction and
surface restoration, including paving. If the manhole fails the test, make necessary repairs by an
approved method, and retest the manhole. Repair and retest the manhole until a satisfactory test is
obtained.

(a) Hydrostatic Testing - Perform hydrostatic testing according to ASTM C 497/C 497M. Plug all
inlets and outlets and fill the manhole with water. Fill each manhole to the rim at the start of the test.
Leakage in each manhole shall not exceed 1.1 L/hr/0.3 m (0.3 gallons per hour per foot) of head above
the invert. Determine leakage by refilling to the rim using a calibrated container. Manholes may be
filled 24 hours prior to the time of testing to permit normal absorption into the manhole walls.

(b) Vacuum Testing - Perform vacuum testing according to ASTM C 1244/C 1244M. Plug and
brace all pipes entering the manhole. Place the test head in or on top of the manhole ring. Draw a
vacuum of 254 mm (10 inches) of mercury on the manhole, close the valve on the vacuum line of the
test head, and shut off the vacuum pump. Measure the time for the vacuum to drop to 228 mm (9
inches) of mercury. The manhole is acceptable if the time for the vacuum reading to drop from 254 mm
(10 inches) of mercury to 228 mm (9 inches) of mercury meets or exceeds the values indicated in the
table below:
