Any foreign matter that will prevent contact of the preparation mat with the soil surface shall be removed. The area shall be smooth and free of ruts or other depressions. If the prepared seedbed becomes crusted or eroded as a result of rain or for any reason, the Contractor shall rework the soil until it is smooth and reseed such areas which are reworked. After the area has been properly prepared, the blanket shall be laid out flat, even and smooth, without stretching or crimping the material Jute mesh used as a ditch lining shall be applied with the lengths running parallel to the flow of water. Where more than one width is required. a lap joint not less than 4 inches shall be used. with the higher fabric on top. An anchor slot shall be constructed at the upslope edge of the jute mesh placement. This is accomplished by burying at least 6 Inches of the end of the mesh vertically in a slot dug in the soil. The soil shall be firmly tamped against the jute in the slot. ' Junction slots shall be used to join the ends of successive lengths. For junction slots, the upslope end of each strip of jute mesh shall be buried at least 6 inches in a slot dug in the earth Soil shall be firmly tamped against the jute in the slot. The ends of the jute shall overlap at least 12 inches with the higher fabric on top Check slots shall be constructed by placing a tight fold at least 6 inches vertically into the soil. On ditch grades of 4 percent or less, such check slots shall be spaced so that a check or junction slot occurs within each 50 feel. On ditch grades greater than 4 percent, such slots shall occur within each 25 feel. A terminal slot shall be placed at the bottom end of the mesh This shall be accomplished by burying the end of the mesh ver- tically in a slot dug in the soil as indicated. The soil shall be firmly tamped against the jute in the slot. Four inch or 6 inch lawn edging may be used as an alternate means of providing a check slot The edging material may be either metal or rigid plastic and shall be placed under the mesh. This edging shall be driven flush with the slope or channel surface, with staples installed through the mesh on the upslope side of the edging at 6 inch intervals. Jute mesh shall be held in place by means of wire staples The staples shall be driven at a 90 degree angle to the plane of the soil. Staples shall be spaced not more than 3 feet apart in 3 rows for each strip, with a row along each edge and one row alternately spaced in the middle. All ends of mesh and check slot locations. shall be secured by staples spaced 6 inches apart across the width. If jute mesh over sod is specified, check slots or junction slots will not be required. The wood fiber mat or nylon monofilament mat shall be laid in the same manner as jute mesh, except that the ends and edges are not lapped but are tightly butted together. The stapling pattern is the same as required for jute mesh. When wood fiber mat or nylon monofilament mat is placed as a ditch liner, junction slots, check slots and anchor slots are not required. However, in lieu of check slots, a row of staples spaced on 6 inch centers, running at right angles to the ditch line rows, shall be placed within each 50 feet on ditch grades of 4 percent or less On ditch grades greater than 4 percent, such rows of staples shall occur within each 25 feet When jute mesh, wood fiber mat or nylon monofilament mat is used on cuts or fills, the mesh or mat may be placed with the length running from top of slope to toe of slope or the mesh or mat may be placed with the length running horizontally or parallel to the contour. Check slots will not be required for jute mesh placed on cuts or fills. Immediately after the soil retention blanket has been placed and stapled, the area covered shall be sprinkled and rolled with a light roller of sufficient weight to press the blanket into the surface of the soil. The roller shall be of such weight t9 avoid over compaction of the seedbed 605.4 Measurement Work and acceptable matenal for "Soil Retention Blanket will be measured by the square yard or by the acre of surface area covered, complete in place. 605.5 Payment The work performed and materials furnished and measured as provided under "Measurement" will be paid for at the unit price bid for "Soil Retention Blanket ", which price shall be full compensation for furnishing wood fiber mat. nylon monofilament mat or lute mesh and all labor. tools, equipment and incidentals necessary to complete the work No direct payment will be made for anchor, check, terminal or junction slots and wire staples, these being considered as subsidiary work pertaining to the construc- tion of the "Soil Retention Blanket" Payment will be made under one of the following.

After receiving said notice of abandonment the Contractor shall not GC -17 remove from the work any machinery, equipment, tools, materials. or supplies then on the job, but the same together with any materials and equipment under contract for the work may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety on the performance bond or another contractor in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefor except when used in connection with extra work where credit shall be allowed as provided for under Section 2.12 entitled "Extra Work", it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the cost to complete the work and will be reflected in the final settlement. 8.03 Methods of Completing the Work. If the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the work in either of the following elective manners: a. The Owner may thereupon employ such force of workers and use such machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such monies as may be due or that may thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Contract. In case such expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is greater than the sum which would have been payable under this Contract if the same had been completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess to the Owner. b. The Owner under sealed bids, after fourteen (14) days notice published two or more times in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this Contract. In case of any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been the cost under this Contract such increase shall be charged to the Contractor, and the Surety shall be and remain bound therefor. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less than what would have been the cost to complete under this Contract, the Contractor or his Surety shall be credited therewith.

The loosened material shall be recompacted with the new embankment as hereinafter specified. The surface of hillsides to receive embankment shall be loosened by scarifying or plowing to a depth of not less than 4 inches and benches cut before embankment materials are placed. The embankment shall then be placed in layers. as hereinafter specified, beginning at the low side in partial width layers and increasing the widths as the embank- ment is raised. The material which has been loosened shall be recompacted simultaneously with the embankment matenal placed at the same elevation. Where embankments are to be placed adjacent to or over existing roadbeds, the roadbed slopes shall be plowed or scanfied to a depth of not less than 6 inches and the embankment built up in successive layers, as hereinafter speci- fied, to the level of the old roadbed before Its height is increased. Then, if indicated, the top of the old roadbed shall be scarified and recompacted with the next layer of the new embankment. The total depth of the scanfied and added material shall not exceed the permissible layer depth. Trees, stumps, roots, vegetation or other unsuitable materials shall not be placed in embankment. All embankment shall be constructed In layers approximately parallel to the finished grade and unless otherwise indicated, each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope of Y. inch per foot from the centerline of the roadbed to the outside, except that on superelevated curves, each layer shall be constructed to conform to the superelevation Indicated. The embankment shall be continuously maintained at its finished section and grade until that portion of the work is accepted. After completion of the embankment to the finished section and grade, the Contractor shall proof roll the subgrade conforming to Item No. 236, "Rolling (Proof)" and revegetation procedures must commence immediately to minimize the soil loss and air pollution. (2) Earth Embankments Earth embankments shall be defined as embankments composed of soil material other than rock and shall be con- structed of acceptable material from approved sources. Except as otherwise indicated, earth embankments shall be constructed in successive 6 inch layers, loose measure. for the full width of the individual cross section and in such length as are best suited to the sprinkling and compaction methods utilized. Minor quantities of rocks not larger Than 4 inches, encountered in constructing earth embankment may be incorpo- rated in the earth embankment layers, provided such placement of rock is not immediately adjacent to structures Each layer of embankment shall be uniform as to material, density and moisture content before beginning comps ;. lion. Where layers of unlike materials abut each other, each layer shall be feathered on a slope of 1:20 or the mate- rial shall be so mixed as to prevent abrupt changes in the soil. No material placed in the embankment by dumping in • agile or windrows shall be incorporated in a layer in that position, but all such piles or windrows shall be moved by Page 1 04/17/86 132 blading or similar methods. Clods or lumps of material shall be broken and the embankment material mixed by blad- ing, harrowing, discing or similar methods to the end that a uniform material oI uniform density is secured in each layer. Water required for sprinkling to bnng the matenal to the moisture content necessary for optimum compaction shall be evenly applied and it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to secure a uniform moisture content throughout the layer by such methods as may be necessary. All earth cuts, whether lull width or partial width cuts in the side of a hill. which are not required to be excavated below subgrade elevation shall be scanfied to a uniform depth of at least 6 inches below grade and the matenal shall be mixed and reshaped by blading and then spnnkled and rolled in accordance with the requirements outlined above for earth embankments and to the same density as that required for the adjacent embankment. Compaction of embankments shall conform to Item No. 201, "Subgrade Preparation ". Each layer shall be com- pacted to the required density by any method, type and size of equipment which will give the required compaction. Prior to and in conjunction with the rolling operation, each layer shall be brought to the moisture content necessary to obtain the required density and shall be kept leveled with suitable equipment to insure uniform compaction over the entire layer. For each layer of earth embankment and select material, it is the intent of this specification to provide the density as required herein, unless otherwise indicated. Soils shall be sprinkled as required and compacted to the extent neces- sary to provide not less than 95 percent nor more than 105 percent of the density as determined in accordance with SDHPT Test Method Tex -114 -E at optimum moisture content or within minus 3 percent of the optimum moisture content. Care shall be taken to avoid overcompacting high PI expansive clays. After each layer of earth embankment or select material is complete, tests as necessary will be made by the Engi- neer. If the material fails to meet the density specified, the course shall be reworked as necessary to obtain the specified compaction. (3) Rock Embankments Rock embankments shall be defined as those composed principally of rock and shall be constructed of accepted matenal from approved sources. Rock embankments shall not be placed immediately adjacent to structures. Except as otherwise indicated, rock embankments shall be constructed in successive layers for the full width of the cross section and of 18 inches or less in depth. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the rock sizes necessitate a greater depth of layer than specified, the layer depth may be increased as necessary, but in no case shall the depth of layer exceed 2 Ys feet. Each layer shall be constructed by starting at one end and dumping the rock on top of the layer being constructed then pushing the material ahead with a bulldozer in such a manner that the larger rock will be placed on the ground or preceding embankment layer and the interstices between the larger stones filled with small stones and spells by the operation and from the placing of succeeding loads of material. The maximum dimension of any rock used in embankment shall be less than the depth of the embankment layer and in no case shall any rock over 2 feet in its greatest dimension be placed in the embankment. All oversized rocks which are otherwise suitable for construction shall be broken to the required dimension and utilized in embankment construction where indicated, except that when preferred by the Contractor and acceptable to the Engineer, such rocks may be placed at other points where the embankment layer is of greater depth, thus requiring less breakage. Each layer shall be compacted to the required density as outlined for "Earth Embankments ", above, except in those layers where rock will make density testing difficult, the Engineer may accept the layer by visual inspection or proof rolling conforming to Item No. 236, "Rolling (Proof) ". Unless otherwise indicated, the upper 3 feet of the embankment shall contain no stones larger than 4 inches in their greatest dimension and shall be composed of material so graded that the density and uniformity of the surface layer may be secured in accordance with SDHPT Test Method Tex - 114 -E. Exposed oversize material shall be broken up or removed. (4) At Culverts and Bridges Embankments adjacent to culverts and bridges which cannot be compacted by use of the blading and rolling equip- ment used in compacting the adjoining sections of embankment shall be compacted in the manner prescribed under Item No. 401, "Structural Excavation and Backfill ". Embankment placed around spill through type abutments shall be constructed in 6 inch loose layers of uniform suit- able material placed in such manner as to maintain approximately the same elevation on each side of the abutment and all materials shall be mixed, wetted and compacted as specified above. 132 04/17/86 Page 2 132.3 Measurement 132.4 Payment End Embankment material placed adjacent to any portion of any structure or above the top of any culvert or similar struc- ture shall be free of any appreciable amount of gravel or stone particles and thoroughly compacted by mechanical compaction equipment.

Where excavation is not classified, k will be grouped under "Unclassified Structural Excavation ", which shall Include the removal of all materials encountered regardless of their nature or the manner In which they are removed. — Where excavation is classified, it shall be classed as "Common Structural Excavation" or "Rock Structural Excavation" in accor- dance with the following criteria: "Common Structural Excavation" shall Include the removal of all materials other than rock. "Rock Structural Excavation" shall include the removal of firm and compact materials that cannot be excavated with power equipment, without first being loosened or broken by blasting, sledging or drilling. 401.2 Materials (1) Sand (a) Fine aggregate sand shall be Grade 1 conforming to Item No. 302, "Aggregates for Surface Treatments ". (b) Native Sand shall be local material obtained from approved sources and subject to the approval of the Engineer. (2) Flexible Base Flexible base shall conform to item No. 210, "Flexible Base ". (3) Lime Stabilized Base Lime stabilized base shall conform to Item No. 202, "Hydrated Lime and Lime Slurry' and Item No. 203, "Lime Treatment for Materials in Place ". (4) Concrete Base Concrete base shall conform to Class J Concrete, Item No. 403, "Concrete for Structures ". (5) Granular Material (a) Coarse aggregate shall conform to Item No. 403, "Concrete for Structures ". (b) Foundation Rock Foundation rock shall be well graded, hard, durable coarse aggregate ranging in size from 2 to 6 inches. (c) Pea Gravel Pea gravel shall consist of hard, durable, opaque gravel, free of clay, loam, sand or other foreign substances, • ranging in size from i/4 inch to % inch conforming to ASTM C 33. (6) Cement Stabilized Rockfill Cement Stabilized base shall conform to Class .1 Concrete, Item Na 403, "Concrete for Structures". 401.3 Construction Methods (1) Excavation shall be done in accordance with the lines and depths indicated or as established by the Engineer. Un• less otherwise indicated or permitted by the Engineer no excavation shall be made outside a vertical plane 3 feat from the footing lines and parallel thereto. (2) Excavation shall conform to elevations Indicated or raised or lowered by written order of the Engineer, when such alterations are judged proper. When deemed necessary to increase or decrease the plan depth of footings, the al- 401 Rev. 09/30187 Page 1 Structural Excavation and Backfill (3) terations in the details of the structure shall be as directed by the Engineer. The Engineer shall have the right to substitute revised details resulting from consideration of changes in the design conditions. When a structure is to rest on an excavated surface other than rock, special care shall be taken not to disturb the bottom of the excavation and the final excavation to grade shall not be performed until just before the footing is placed. Equipment selected and used by the Contractor for excavation which disturbs what was otherwise stable subgrade material, as shown by laboratory tests, will not be used as a justification for payment for excavating to extra depth or for payment for stabilizing materials which may be ordered by the Engineer. (4) Excavated matenal required to be used for backf ill may be deposited by the Contractor In storage piles as indicated or at points convenient for its rehandling during the backfilling operations, subject to the approval of the Engineer, who may require that the survey center line of the structure and the transverse or hub line of any unit of the structure be kept free of any obstruction. The Contractor shall adjust any stockpiles, to facilitate surveying and the work of other Contractors working in the immediate proximity, as directed by the Engineer. Excavated material required to be wasted shall be disposed of as directed by the Engineer, in a manner which will not obstruct the stream or otherwise impair the efficiency or appearance of the structure or other part of the work. (5) (6) For all single and multiple box culverts, pipe culverts, pipe arch culverts and box sewers of all types, where the soil encountered at established footing grade is a quicksand. muck or similar unstable material, the following procedure shall be used unless other methods are indicated: ( (8) 401.4 Cofferdams 401 Rev. 09130187 The depth to which unstable material is removed will be determined by the Engineer. It will not exceed 2 feet below the footing of culverts that are 2 feel or more in height and will not exceed the height of culverts for those less than 2 feet high. Excavation shall be carried at Least 1 foot horizontally beyond the limits of the structure on all sides. All unstable sod removed shall be replaced with suitable stable material, in uniform layers of suitable depth for compaction as directed by the Engineer. Each layer shall be wetted, if necessary and compacted by rolling or tamping as required to provide a stable foundation for the structure. Soil which has sufficient stability to properly sustain the adjacent sections of the roadway embankment will be considered a suitable foundation material. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, it is not feasible to construct a stable footing as outlined above, the Contractor shall construct it by the use of special matenals, such as flexible base, cement stabilized base, cement stabilized backfill or other material. as directed by the Engineer. This work will be paid for as provided below. Special materials used or additional excavation made for the Contractor's convenience to expedite the work will not be paid for directly. but shall be subsidiary to the various classes of structural excavation. In addition, if the Contractor's construction methods and equipment creates conditions necessitating usage of special mate - nals or additional excavation, the work and materials will not be paid for directly, but shall be subsidiary to the various classes of structural excavation. When the material encountered at footing grade of a culvert Is found to be partially rock or incompressible material and partially a compressible soil which is satisfactory for the foundation, the incompressible material shall be re- moved for a depth of 6 inches below the looting grade and backfilled with a compressible material similar to that used for the rest of the structure. When the material encountered at footing grade of a bridge bent or pier is found to be partially of rock or in- compressible material and partially of a compressible material. the foundation shall not be placed until the Engineer has inspected the footing and authorized such changes found necessary to provide an adequate foundation. The term cofferdams, whenever used in this specification, designates any temporary or removable structure constructed to hold the surrounding earth, water or both, out of the excavation, whether the structure is formed of earth, timber, steel, concrete or a combination of these. It includes earthen dikes, timber cribs, any type of sheet piling, removable steel shells and the like and all necessary bracing and it shall be understood also to include the use of pumping wells or well points for the same purpose. The cost of cofferdams. when required, shall be included as a part of the bid price for excavation. It is the intent of this specification to require that a suitable cofferdam which will provide a safe work area be provided for all excavation when necessary in order to control water so that the foundation may be placed in a dry condition, as to preclude sliding and caving of the walls of the excavation. Where no ground or surface water is encountered, the cofferdam need be sufficient only to protect the workmen and to avoid cave -ins or slides beyond the excavation limits. The type, strength and clearance of cofferdams, insofar as such details affect the character of the finished work and the safety of laborers and inspectors working therein, will be subject to review by the Engineer. but the Engineer's review shall in no way relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the adequacy and safety of the cofferdam design. Other details or design will be left to the choice of the Contractor, who will be responsible for the successful completion of the work. Approval of the drawings by the Engineer will not relieve the Contractor of responsibility in any manner. The interior dimensions of cofferdams shall provide suffi- Page 2 Structural Excavation and Sankt ill dent clearance for the construction and removal of any required forms and the inspection of their exteriors and to permit pumping outside 01 the forms. Unless otherwise indicated, cofferdams shall be removed by the Contractor after the completion of the substructure without disturbing or marring the structure. 401.5 Pumping or Balling The manner of pumping or bailing from the interior of any foundation enclosure shall preclude the possibility of the movement of water through or alongside any concrete being placed. No pumping or bailing will be permitted during the placing of concrete or for a period of at least 24 hours thereafter, unless from a suitable sump separated from the concrete work by a water -tight wall. 401.6 Backfilling (1) General As soon as practicable, all portions of excavation not occupied by the permanent structure shall be backfilled. Back - fill material shall be free from large or frozen lumps, wood or other extraneous material. That portion of backfill which will not support any portion of completed roadbed or embankment shall be placed in layers not more than 10 inches in depth (loose measurement) and shall be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum density as determined by SDHPT Test Method Tex -114 -E and then re- excavated to the proper grade and dimensions. If the excavation has been made through a hard material resistant to erosion, the backfill around piers and in front of abutments and wings may be ordered by the Engineer to be of stone or lean concrete. Unless otherwise indicated, such backfill shall be paid for as extra work. That portion of the backfill which will support any portion of the roadbed or embankment shall be placed in uniform layers not more than 10 inches In depth (loose measurement) and shall be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of maximum density as determined by SDHPT Test Method Tex - 114 -E and then re- excavated to the proper grade and wetted uniformly to the moisture content required to obtain the specified density and shall be compacted to that density by means of mechanical tampers or rammers, except that the use of rolling equipment of the type generally used in compaction embankments will be permitted on portions which are accessible to such equipment. All portions of embankment too close to any portion of a structure to permit compaction by the use of the blading and rolling equipment used on adjoining sections of embankment, shall be placed and compacted In the same manner as specified above for backfill material. These provisions require the mechanical compaction by means of either rolling equipment or mechanical tampers or rammers, of all backfill and embankment adjoining the barrels and wingwalls or culverts and adjoining all sides of bridge abutments and retaining walls, regardless of whether or not such em- bankments or backfill is above or below the original surface of the ground and regardless of whether the excavation at structure site was performed conforming to Item Na 111, "Excavation, this item, "Structural ExcavatloM, Item Na 110, 'Street Excavatiorf or Item Na 120, "Channel Excavation*. Unless otherwise Indicated, hand tamping will not be ac- cepted as an alternate for mechanical compaction. As a general rule, material used In filling or backfilling the por- tions described In this paragraph shall be an earth, free of any appreciable amount of gravel or stone particles larger than 4 Inches In greater dimension and of a gradation that permits thorough compaction. When, In the opinion of the Engineer, such material is not readily available, the use of rock or gravel mixed with earth will be permitted, provided that no particles larger than 12 Inches or smaller than 6 lnches may be used. The percentage of fines shall be suffi- cient to fill voids and insure a uniform and thoroughly compacted mass of proper density. When required by the plans or by written order of the Engineer, cement stabilized material shall be used for backfilling. All portions of fill and backfill described In the preceding paragraph shall be compacted to the same density require- ments specified for the adjoining sections of embankment in accordance with the goveming specifications therefor. Where no embankment is involved on the project and no specifications therefore are included in the contract, all backfill shall be compacted to a density comparable with the adjacent undisturbed material. No backfill shall be placed against any abutment or retaining wall until such structure has been in place at least 7 days. No backlit' shall be placed adjacent to or over single and multiple boxes until the top slab has attained 500 psi flexural strength. Backfill placed around abutments and piers shall be deposited on both sides to approximately the same elevation at the same time. Care shall be taken to prevent any wedging action of backlit' against the structure and the slopes bounding the excavation shall be stepped or serrated to prevent such action. (2) Plpe Culverts The following requirements shall apply to the backfilling of pipe culverts in addition to the pertinent portions of the general requirements given in the preceding section. 401 Rev. 09/30187 Page 3 Structural Excavation and Backfill (3) ( (5) 401 Rev. 09/30187 Selected materials from excavation, borrow or other approved material shall be wetted, it required and placed along both sides of the pipe equally, in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in depth (loose measurement) and thor- oughly compacted so that there shall be a berm of thoroughly compacted material on each side of the pipe. The method and degree of compaction shall be the same as specified above for portions of backfill within the limits of embankment or roadbed. Filling and/or backfilling shall be continued in this manner to the elevation of the top of the pipe. Special care shall be taken to secure thorough compaction of the material placed under the haunches of the pipe. All fill or backlit' below the top of pipe shall be compacted mechanically In the manner and to the density prescribed above, regardless of whether or not such material is placed within the limits of the embankment or roadbed. In the case of pipe placed in trenches. that portion of the backlit' above the top of the pipe which supports embankment or the roadbed shall receive mechanical compaction as specified above and the portion which will not support any portion of embank- ment or roadbed shall be placed in layers not more than 10 inches in depth (loose measurement) and shall be com- pacted by whatever means the Contractor chooses, to a density comparable with the adjacent, undisturbed matenal. Embankments alone the top of pipe shall be placed conforming to Item No. 132, "Embankments". During construction adequate cover must be provided to protect the structure from damage. Whenever excavation is made for installing pipe culverts or box sewers across private property or beyond the limits of the embankment. the top soil removed in excavating the trench shall be kept separate and replaced as nearly as feasible in its original position and the entire area involved in the construction operations shall be restored to a pre- sentable condition. Cement Stabilized Backffil When indicated, trenches shall be backfilled to the elevations shown with Cement Stabilized Backlit'. Cement Stabilized Backfill below the spring line of pipe culverts shall be sufficiently plastic to completely fill all voids in the trench. The pipe shall be held in alignment by jacks or other suitable means to prevent the mortared joints from cracking due to displacement caused by placing the backlit! material. Cement Stabilized Backfill above the spring line of pipe culverts may be dry enough to be transported without special mixing equipment. On structures other than pipe culverts. special mixing equipment will not be required to transport the cement stabi- lized backfill unless otherwise indicated. Hand - operated mechanical tampers may be used with approval of the Engineer for compacting this backfill. 401.7 Measurement Unless otherwise indicated. structural excavation for pipe headwalls. inlets, manholes, culvert widening (extensionsj, bndge abutments and side road and private entrance pipe culverts will not be measured but shall be considered subsidiary to the various bid items. Determination of quantities for structural excavation shall be made by the method of average end -areas using the following limits to establish templates for measurement. For all structures requiring measurement, except the barrels of pipe culverts, no material outside of vertical planes 1 foot beyond the edges of the footings and parallel thereto will be included. (2) For the barrels of pipe culverts o142 inches or less nominal or equivalent diameter. no material outside of vertical planes 1 foot beyond the horizontal projection of the outside surfaces of the pipe and parallel thereto will be included. For the barrels of pipe culverts more than 42 inches in nominal or equivalent diameter, no material outside of vertical planes located 2 feet beyond the horizontal projection of the outside surfaces of the pipe and parallel thereto will be included. (3) If a cofferdam, as herein defined, is used, the 'Imitations indicated above shall apply just as if no cofferdams were used. (4) Where excavation in addition to that allowed for the footings is required for other portions of the structure, such as for the cap, cross strut or tie beam of a pier or bent or for the superstructure, measurements for such additional excava- tion will be limited laterally by vertical planes 1 foot beyond the face of the member and parallel thereto and vertically to a depth of 1 foot below the bottom of such member. Except as allowed by the above conditions, no account will be taken of any excavation necessary for placing fors or falsework. (6) Except at side road culverts, all street excavation called for on the contract plans at all structure sites shall be as- sumed to be completed before starting the structural excavation and the measurement of structural excavation will include only material below or outside the limits of the completed street excavation. Excavation for side road and private entrance pipe culverts will not be measured for payment but shall be subsidiary to the Item. Page 4 Structural Excavation and Backfill (7) On all structures of bridge classification where the contract plans call for channel excavation at the structure site, it shall be assumed to have been completed before starting the structural excavation and the measurement of struc- tural excavation will include only material below or outside the limits of the completed channel s ection. The method of measurement tor payment will be in accordance with this procedure regardless of the actual construction methods followed. Where excavation diagrams are indicated, they shall take precedence over these provisions. Measurement wit not include materials removed below footing grades to compensate for anticipated swellage due to pile driving and it will not include material required to be removed due to swellage beyond the specified limits during pile driving operations. (10) Measurement will not include additional yardage caused by slips, slides, cave -ins, sittings or fillings due to the action of the elements or the carelessness of the Contractor. Water will not be classed as excavated material. (11) Where rock, other incompressible or unstable material is undercut to provide suitable foundation for pipe or box culverts, such material below grade, ordered by the Engineer to be removed, will be measured for payment. (12) Except for any required undercut, quantities for "Structural Excavation ", as indicated, shall be considered as final quantities and no further measurement will be required, unless the alignment, grades or structure locations are re- vised by the Engineer during construction. Final determination of quantities for individual structures will be made, if in the opinion of the Engineer or upon evidence furnished by the Contractor, substantial variations exist between quantities indicated and actual quantities due to changes in cross sections or apparent errors. Excavation quantities for foundations indicated where cofferdams are required shall be considered as final quantities and no further mea- surement will be made. (8) (9) (13) For any footing, foundation or other structure unit within the scope of this specification, additional measurement will be made of the volume of excavation involved in the lowering or raising of the elevation of a footing, foundation or structure unit; when such grade change Is authorized by the Engineer. Measurement will be made by the addition to or the deduction from, the original quantities for the volume of excavation involved In the authorized grade change. (14) Cement stabilized backfill shall be measured by the backfill diagram as indicated. The quantity of "Cement Stabi- lized Backfill" as indicated shall be considered as final quantities and no further measurement will be required, un- less alignment or grade elevations as indicated are revised by the Engineer. If such revisions result in an increase or decrease In this quantity, the final quantity will be revised by the amount represented by the changes in alignment or grade elevations. 401.8 Payment Payment for all work prescribed under this item and measured as provided above will be made at the unit price bid per cubic yard for the particular class of excavation specified on the plans in the amount shown on the plans and in the proposal. Payment for revised quantities will be made as specified above and for the removal of unstable and incompressible material as noted below. Payment for removal and replacement of unstable or incompressible material below the footing grades of culverts and box sewers as indicated above will be made as follows: When indicated or the Engineer directs the use of special materials such as flexible base, cement stabilized base, cement stabilized backfill or other special material, payment for excavation below the footing grades shall be made at the unit price bid for "Unclassified Structural Excavation ", "Common Structural Excavation" or "Rock Structural Excavation ", as the case may be. Payment for tumishing, hauling, placing and compacting the flexible base, cement stabilized base, cement stabilized backfill or other special material will be made at the unit price bid for these items In the bid or In accordance with pertinent provisions for extra work. Where special materials are not required or specified, the removal and replacement of the unstable material will be per- formed as descnbed above. Payment therefore will be made at a price equal to 200 percent of the unit price bld per cubic yard for "Unclassified Structural Excavation ", "Common Structural Excavation" or "Rock Structural Excavation ", as the case may be, which price shall be full compensation for removing the unstable or Incompressible material, furnishing, hauling, placing and compacting suitable material required to replace it and for all labor, equipment, tools and incidentals necessary to complete the work. Payment for "Concrete Base" and "Cement Stabilized Backfill" measured as prescribed above shall be made at the unit price bid per cubic yard of "Cement Stabilized Backfill ". Such payment shall be full compensation for tumishing all materials, tools, labor, equipment, sheathing and incidentals required to perform the applicable work prescnbed herein. Should the Engineer judge it necessary to lower the structure footings to an elevation below the grade indicated, payment for the "Unclassified Structural Excavation ", "Common Structural Excavation" or "Rock Structural Excavation" as the case may be, required below plan grade down to and including an elevation 5 feet below plan grade for any individual footing will be made at a unit price equal.to 115 percent of the contract unit bid price. Payment for the excavation from an elevation over 5 feet below plan grade down to and including an elevation 10 feet below plan grade will be made at a unit price equal to 125 percent of the 401 Rev. 09130187 Page 5 Structural Excavation and Backfill contract unit bid price for "Unclassified Structural Excavation", "Common Structural Excavation" or' Rock Structural Excavation" as the case may be. No increase in unit price will be allowed for other bid items of the contract and no additional compensation will be allowed for any required cofferdam adjustments made necessary by such lowering of footings. These provisions shall not apply to the lowering of culverts, except when the flow line grade is lowered 1 foot or more below plan grade. In cases where the extra depths required for any footing or footings exceeds 10 feet, a supplemental agreement shall be made covenng the quantities removed from depths in excess of 10 feet below plan grade. No direct payment will be made for filling or backfilling around structures. Payment for the backfilling and compacting of areas which were removed as structural excavation shall be included in the unit prices bid for the various classes of structural excavation. At the end of each estimate period, the Engineer shall determine the completed portion of the total work under Item No. 401 "Structural Excavation and Backfilr" and payment shall be made accordingly. Filling or backfilling of areas above the natural ground level or above the limits of street excavation or channel excavation sections shall be considered as Item Na 132, 'Embankment' and payment therefore shall be Included In the unit prices bid for the various classes of Item Na 110, "Street Excavation; Item Na 120, "Channel Excavation" or Item Na 130, 'Borrow': Where no channel excavation is provided for at culvert sites and where it is necessary to excavate beyond the limits of structural excavation, as herein described in order that the culvert may function properly, such excavation shall be included with structural excavation or shall be subsidiary to structural excavation and bac>dill as may be indicated.

The maximum temperature of cast•in -place concrete in bridge superstructures, diaframs. parapets, concrete portions of railing, curbs and sidewalks and direct traffic box culverts shall not exceed 85 F when placed. Other portions of structures, when indicated, shall require the temperature control specified. For continuous placement of the deck on continuous steel units, the initial set of the concrete shall be retarded sufficiently to insure that 1 remains plastic in not less than 3 spans immediately preceding the one being placed. For simple spans, retardation shall be required only if necessary to complete finishing operations. The consistency of the concrete as placed should allow the completion of all finishing operations without the addition of water to the surface. When conditions are such that additional moisture is needed for finishing, the required water shall be applied to the surface by fog spray only and shall be held to a minimum amount. Fog spray for this purpose may be applied with hand operated logging equipment. The height of free fall of concrete shall be limited to 3 — 4 feet to prevent segregation. The maximum time interval between the addition of cement to the batch and the placing of concrete in the forms shall not exceed the following: 410 Rev. 09130187 permitted, but shall not be used unless a structural analysis has been made of the affect on the girder or beam and approval is granted by the Engineer.

From the time of initial stnkeofl until final finish is completed and required interim curing is in place, the unformed surfaces of slab concrete in bridge decks and top slab of direct traffic culverts and concrete slabs. shall be kept damp, not wet, to offset the ellecls of rapid evaporation of mixing water from the concrete due to wind, temperature, low humidity or combinations thereof. Fogging equipment capable of applying water in the form of a fine fog mist, not a spray, will be required. Fogging will be applied at the times and in the manner directed by the Engineer. Fogging equipment may be either water pumped under high pressure or a combination of air and water, either system in corn. bination with a proper atomizing nozzle. The equipment shall be sufficiently portable for use In the direction of any prevailing winds. The equipment shall be adapted for intermittent use to prevent excessive wetting of the surfaces. Upon completion of the final finish. interim curing will be required for slab concrete in bridge decks and top slabs of direct traffic culverts as follows: (1) Required water curing shall begin as soon as it can be done Without damaging the concrete finish. (2) Unless otherwise indicated, Type 1 membrane curing compound (Resin Base Only) shall be applied to the slab surface. The Contractor shall give the Engineer sufficient advance notice before placing concrete in any unit of the structure to permit the review of forms, reinforcing steel placement and other preparations. Concrete shall not be placed in any unit pnor to the comple- tion of form work and placement of reinforcement therein. Concrete mixing, placing and finishing shall be done in daylight hours. unless adequate provisions are made 10 light the entire placement site. Concrete placement will not be permitted when impending weather conditions will impair the quality of the finished work. If rainfall should occur after placing operations are started, the Contractor shall provide ample covering to protect the work. If conditions of wind, humidity and temperature are such that concrete cannot be placed without cracking, concrete placement shall be done in the early morning or at night. The sequence for placing concrete shall be as indicated or as required herein. The placing shall be regulated so the pressures caused by the plastic concrete shall not exceed the loads used in the form design. The method of handling. placing and consolidation of concrete shall minimize segregation and displacement of the reinforce- ment and produce a uniformly dense and compact mass. Concrete shall not have a free fall of more than 4 feet, except in the case of thin wall sections. Any hardened concrete spatter ahead of the plastic concrete shall be removed.

All forms shall be wetted thoroughly before the concrete Is placed therein. All concrete shall be well consolidated and the mortar flushed to the form surfaces by continuous working with immersion type vibrators Vibrators which operate by attachment 10 forms or reinforcement will not be permitted. except on steel forms. At least 1 standby 'vibrator shall be provided for emergency use in addition to the ones required for placement. For lightweight concrete. vibrators of the high frequency type which produce a minimum of 7000 impulses per minute will be required. The concrete shall be vibrated immediately after deposition. Prior 10 the beginning 01 work. a systematic spacing of the points of vibration shall be established to insure complete consolidation and thorough working of the concrete around the reinforcement. embedded fixtures and into the comers and angles of the forms. Immersion type vibrators shall be inserted vertically, at points 18 to 30 inches apart and slowly withdrawn. The vibrator may be inserted in a sloping or honzontal position in shallow slabs. The entire depth of each lift shall be vibrated. allowing the vibrator to penetrate several inches into the preceding lilt.

Should concrete placed under adverse weather conditions prove unsatisfactory, tl shall be removed and replaced. (2) Cast•in -Place Concrete 410 Rev. 09130187 Concrete may be placed when Ine atmospheric temperature is not less Than 35 F Concrete shall not be placed in contact with any material coaled with frost or having a temperature less than 32 F Aggregates shall be tree from ice. frost and frozen lumps-When required, In order to produce the minimum specified concrete temperature, the aggregate and/or the water shall be heated uniformly, in accordance with Ine following. The water temperature shall not exceed 180 F and/or the aggregate temperature shall not exceed 150 F. The heating apparatus shall heat the mass of aggregate uniformly. The temperature 01 the mixture of aggregates and water shall be between 50 F and 85 F before introduction of the cement All concrete shall be eltectively protected as follows: (a) The temperature 01 slab concrete ol all unformed surfaces shall be maintained at 50 F or above for a period ol 72 hours from time of placement and above 40 F for an additional 72 hours (b) The temperature al the surface of all concrete in bents, piers. culvert walls. retaining walls, parapets. wingwalls. bottom of slabs and other similar forms shall be maintained at 40 For above for a period of 72 hours from time of placement. Page 8 Concrete.Structures 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 (c) The temperature of all concrete, Including the bottom slabs of culverts placed on or in the ground, shall be maintained above 32 F for a period of 72 hours from time of placement Protection shall consist of rovidi in p ng additional covering, insulated forms or other means and H necessary supple- menting such covering with artificial heating. Curing shall be provided during this period until all requirements tor curing have been satisfied. When Impending weather conditions indicate the possibility of the need for such temperature protection, all neces- sary heating and covering material shall be on hand ready for use before permission is granted to begin placement. Sufficient extra test specimens will be made and cured with the placement to ascertain the condition of the concrete as placed prior to form removal and acceptance. (3) Precast Concrete A fabricating plant for precast products which has adequate protection from cold weather in the form of permanent or portable framework and covering, which protects the concrete when placed in the fors and is equipped with ap- proved steam curing facilities may place concrete under any low temperature conditions provided: (a) The framework and covering are placed and heat is provided for the concrete and the forms within 1 hour after the concrete•is placed. This shall not be construed to be 1 hour after the last concrete is placed, but that no concrete shall remain unprotected longer than 1 hour. (b) Steam heat shall keep the alr surrounding the concrete between 50 F and 85 F for a minimum of 3 hours prior to beginning the temperature rise which is required for steam curing. 410.13 Placing Concrete In Hot Weather When the temperature of the air is above 85 F, an approved retarding agent will be required in all exposed concrete, concrete used in superstructures. top slabs of direct traffic culverts and all cased drilled shafts regardless of temperatures. The maximum temperature of all concrete, unless otherwise indicated shall not exceed 95 F. 410.14 Placing Concrete in Water Concrete shall be deposited in water only when indicated or with written permission of the Engineer. The forms, cofferdams or caissons shall be sufficiently tight to prevent any water current passing through the space in which the concrete is being depos- ited. Pumping will not be permitted during the concrete placing nor until it has set for at least 36 hours. The concrete shall be placed with a tremie, closed bottom -dump bucket or other approved method and shall not be permitted to fall freely through the water nor shall it be disturbed after it has been placed. Its surface shall be kept approximately level during placement. The tremie shall consist of a water -tight tube 14 inches or Less In diameter. It shall be constructed so that the bottom can be sealed and opened after it is in place and fully charged with concrete. It shall be supported so that it can be easily moved horizon- tally to cover all the work area and vertically to control the concrete flow. .$ottom -dump buckets used for underwater placing shall have a capacity of not less than rh cubic yard. it shall be lowered gradu- ally and carefully until it rests upon the concrete already placed and raised very slowly during the upward travel; the intent being to maintain still water at the point of discharge and to avoid agitating the mixture. The placing operations shall be continuous until the work is complete. Unless otherwise indicated. all concrete placed under water shall be Class E. 410.15 Placing Concrete in Superstructure Unless otherwise indicated, simple span roadway slabs shall be placed without transverse construction joints by using a longitu- dinal screed or a self propelled transverse finishing machine. The screed shalt be adequately supported on a header or rail system sufficiently stable to withstand the longitudinal or lateral thrust of the equipment. Unless otherwise indicated, temporary intermediate headers will be permitted for placements exceeding 50 feet in length for the longitudinal screed, provided the rate of placement is rapid enough to prevent a cold joint and these headers are designed for early removal to permit satisfactory consol- idation and finish of the concrete at their locations. Unless otherwise indicated, slabs on continuous units shall be placed in one continuous operation without transverse construc- tion joints using a longitudinal screed or a self propelled transverse finishing machine. Rails for transverse finishing machines supported from the beams or girders shall be installed so they may be removed without damage to the slab. Bond between removable supports and the concrete shall be prevented in a manner acceptable to the Engineer. Rail support parts which re- main embedded in the slab shall not project above the upper mat of reinforcing steel. Rail or screed supports attached to I -beams or girders shall be subject to "General Requirements" stated above. 410 Rev. 09/30/87 Page 9 Concrete Structures For continuous placements of slab on steel or prestressed members, continuous slab and girder units or continuous slab spans. the Contractor shall submit his rate of placement schedule. For simple span units, a minimum rate of placement for a particular unit may be indicated. If not so Indicated, the Contractor shall satisfy the Engineer that the equipment fumished Is capable of placing, finishing and curing the slab at an acceptable rate to Insure compliance with the specifications. The profile gradeline may require adjustment, due to variation in beam camber and other factors, to obtain the required cover over the slab reinforcement. Beams shall be set in a sufficient number of spans so that when adjustment is necessary the profile gradeline can be adjusted over suitable Increments so that the revised gradeline will produce a smooth riding surface. One or more passes shall be made with the screed over the bridge deck segment prior to the placement of concrete thereon to insure proper operation and maintenance of grades and clearances. Slab concrete shall be deposited between the exterior beam and the adjacent beam prior to placing concrete in the overhang portion of the slab. For transverse slab finishing, concrete shall be placed in transverse strips, proceeding from the lowest end of the placement. For longitudinal screeding, concrete shall be placed in longitudinal steps starting at a point in the center of the segment adjacent to one side, except as provided herein and the strip completed by placing uniformly in both directions toward the ends except that for spans on a grade of 1.5 percent or more, placing shall start at the lowest end. The width of strips shall be such that the concrete therein will remain plastic until the adjacent strip is placed. Where monolithic curb construction is specified, the con- crete shall be placed therein in proper sequence to be monolithic with the adjacent longitudinal strips of the slabs. Forms for the bottom surface of concrete slabs, girders and overhangs shall be maintained true to the required vertical alignment during concrete placing. An approved system of checking shall be used to detect any vertical movement of the forms or falsework. Unless otherwise indicated, girders, slab and curbs of deck girder spans shall be placed monolithically. The girder stems shall be filled first and the slab concrete placed within the time limits specified in "Placing Concrete, General" above. Construction joints when permitted for stab placements on steel and prestressed concrete beams shall be as indicated Where plans permit segmental placing, without specifying a particular order of placement, any logical placing sequence which will not result in the overstressing of any of the supporting members will be permitted subject to the approval of the Engineer. Any faisework under steel girder or truss spans shall be released and the spans swung free on their permanent supports before placing any slab concrete thereon. When the curb forms are filled, the top of curb and sidewalk section shall be brought to the correct camber and alignment and finished as descnbed in "Treatment and Finishing of Horizontal Surfaces Except Roadway Slabs" and "Ordinary Surface Finish ", below. The slab shall be finished as specified in "Finish of Roadway Slabs ", below. When the slab is to receive an additional wearing surface or level -up (widening), it shall be given a reasonable smooth float or screed finish. 410.16 Placing Concrete In Concrete Arches Concrete shall be placed in arch rings so the loading is kept symmetrical on the falsework. The arch rings and nbs shall be placed in one continuous operation unless otherwise indicated or permitted by the Engineer. The spandrel walls or columns and the beams shall not be placed until the arch is swung. Floor slab, railing, parapet walls, etc., shall not be placed until all spandrels are complete. Slab placement shall be symmetrical about the transverse centerline so the loading of the arch is kept approxi- mately symmetrical. The placing sequence shall be as indicated. 410.17 Placing Concrete in Box Culverts In general, construction joints will be permitted only where indicated. Where the top stab and walls are placed monolithically in culverts more than 4 feet in clear height, an interval of not less than 1 nor more than 2 hours shall elapse before placing the top slab to allow for shrinkage in the concrete wall. The base slab shall be trowel finished accurately at the proper time to provide a smooth uniform surface. Top slabs which carry traffic shall be finished as specified for roadway slabs in "Finish of Roadway Slabs," below. Top slabs of fill type culverts shall be given a reasonably smooth float finish. 410.18 Placing Concrete In Foundations and Substructure Concrete shall not be placed in footings until the depth and character of the foundation has been inspected by the Engineer and permission has been given to proceed. 410 Rev 0930187 Page 10 Concrete Structures Placing oI concrete footings upon seal courses will be permitted after the caissons or cofferdams are free from water and the seal course cleaned. My necessary pumping or bailing during the concrete placement shall be done from a suitable sump located outside the forms. - All temporary wales or braces inside cofferdams or caissons shall be constructed or adjusted as the work proceeds to prevent unauthorized construction joints in footings or shafts. When footings can be placed in a dry excavation without the use of cofferdams or caissons forms may be omitted ff desired by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer and the entire excavation filled with concrete to the elevation of the top of looting in which case measurement for payment will be based on the footing dimensions indicated. Concrete in columns shall be placed monolithically unless otherwise indicated. Columns and caps and/or tie beams supported thereon may be placed in the same operation. To allow for shrinkage of the column concrete, it shall be placed to the lower level of the cap or tie beam and placement delayed for not less than 1 hour nor more than 2 before proceeding. 410.19 Treatment and Finishing of Horizontal Surfaces Except Roadway Slabs All unformed upper surfaces shall be struck off to grade and finished. The use of mortar topping for surfaces under this classifica- tion will not be permitted. Aker the concrete has been struck off, the surface shall be floated with a suitable float. Bridge sidewalks shall be given a wood float or broom finish or may be striped with a brush as specified by the Engineer. The tops of caps and piers between bearing areas shall be sloped slightly from the center toward the edge and the tops of abutments and transition bents sloped from the backwall to the edge, as directed by the Engineer, so that water will drain from the surface and shall be given a smooth trowel finish. When indicated, the coaling of caps and piers shall be done using Type x epoxy material. Unless otherwise indicated. the color shall be concrete gray. Bearing areas for steel units shall be constructed in such a manner to have a full and even bearing upon the concrete When the concrete is placed below grade, bearing areas may be raised to grade on beds of Portland Cement mortar consisting of 1 part cement, 2 parts sand and a minimum amount of water. Bearing seat buildups or pedestals for concrete units may be cast integrally with the cap or with a construction joint as follows The construction joint area under the bearing shall have the surface roughened thoroughly as soon as practical after initial set is obtained. The bearing seat buildups shall be placed using a latex based grout or an epoxy grout, mixed in ac- cordance with the manufacturers recommendation. Pedestals shall be placed using Class C concrete, reinforced as indicated. Bearing areas under elastomeric pads shall be given a slightly textured wood float finish. 410.20 Finish of Roadway Slabs In all roadway slab finishing operations, camber for specified vertical curvature and transverse slopes shall be provided. For concrete slab or concrete girder spans cast in place on falsework, an additional amount of camber shall be provided to offset the initial and final deflections of the span. The additional amount of camber shall be determined from the dead load deflection diagram indicated. When dead bad deflection is not indicated, the additional amount of camber shall be % inch per 10 foot of span length but not to exceed 1/2 inch. For pan girder spans the additional camber for initial and final deflections shall be approxi- mately inch for 30 foot spans and V. inch for 40 foot spans. Roadway slabs supported on prestressed concrete beams. steel beams or girders shall receive no additional camber, except that for slabs without vertical curvature, the longitudinal camber shall be approximately Y inch. Work bridges or other suitable facilities shall be provided from which to perform all finishing operations and check measurements for slab thickness and reinforcement cover. As soon as the concrete has been placed and vibrated in a section of sufficient width to permit working, the surface shall be struck off. leveled and screeded, carrying a slight excess of concrete ahead of the screed to insure filling of all low spots. The screed shall be designed rigid enough to hold true to shape and shall have sufficient adjustments to provide for the required camber. A vibrating screed shall be used in all slabs more than 20 feet in width. A vibrating screed may be used f1 heavy enough to prevent undue distortion. The screeds shall be provided with a metal edge. Longitudinal screeds shalt be moved across the concrete with a sawlike motion while their ends rest on headers or templates set true to the roadway grade or on the adjacent finished slab. The surface of the concrete shall be screed a sufficient number of times and at such intervals to produce a uniform surface, true to grade and tree of voids. If necessary, the screed surface shall be worked 10 a smooth finish with a long handled wood or metal float of the proper size or hand floated from bridges over the slab. 410 Rev. 09130/87 Page 11 Concrete Structures The Contractor shall perform sufficient checks with a long handled 10foot straightedge on the plastic concrete to insure that the final surface will be within the tolerances specified below. The check shall be made with the straightedge parallel to and perpen- dicular to the centerline. Each pass thereof shall lap half of the preceding pass. All high spots shall be removed and all depres- sions over %ie inch in depth shall be filled with fresh concrete and floated. The checking and floating shall be continued until the surface is true to grade and tree of depressions, high spots, voids or rough spots. • Rail support holes shall be filled with concrete and finished to match the top of the slab. A broom finish shall be applied with longitudinal weeding. A broom or burlap drag finish shall be applied with transverse screeding. Unless otherwise indicated, the burlap drag shall consist of 4 or more layers of 10 ounce burlap fabric, free of seams, dirt or hardened concrete; it shall be kept wet when in use and it shall be drawn over the surface in as many passes as required to produce the desired texture depth. Broom finishes shall be applied with stilt bristled brooms. The Contractor shall have on hand at all times brooms for the purpose of providing the desired texture depth when surface conditions are such that the burlap drag will not provide it. Upon completion of the floating and/or straightedging and before the disappearance of the moisture sheen, the surface shall be given a broom or burlap drag finish. The grooves of these finishes shall be parallel to the structure centerline. It is the intent that the average texture depth resulting from the number of tests directed by the Engineer be not less than 0.035 inch with a minimum texture depth of 0.030 inch for any one test when tested in accordance with SDHPT Test Method Tex - 436 -A. Should the texture depth fall below that intended, the finishing procedures shall be revised to produce the desired texture. At the option of the Contractor or when indicated. the surface shall be given its final texture by saw grooving to meet the above requirements. Saw grooving may be done a minimum of 4 days atter the slab concrete has been placed. If saw grooving is done prior to the completion of curing, the curing shall be continued after sawing to provide the minimum curing time required. When the plans require that a concrete overlay be placed on the slab (new construction) or on prestressed concrete box beams, the slab or top surface of shear key and diafram concrete shall be given a metal tine finish of approximately 0.050 inch.

The Contractor shall alloy the Engineer to inspect the materials and "vet out" procedure. The quantities of the liquid thermosetting materials shall be per manufacturer's standards to provide the wall thickness specified. Water for the work shall be furnished by the City. Contractor shall use a double -check valve assembly to prevent backflov in the event of pressure failure. The wet out fiber -felt tube shall be inserted through an existing manhole or other approved access by means of an inversion process and the application of a hydrostatic bead sufficient to fully extend it to the next designated manhole. The impregnated tube material shall be inserted into the vertical inversion standpipe vith the impermeable plastic membrane side out. At the lover end of the inversion standpipe, the felt tube shall be turned inside out and attached to the standpipe so that a leakproof seal is created. The inversion head will be adjusted to be of sufficient height to cause the impregnated tube to invert from manhole to manhole and hold the tube tight to the pipe vall, produce dimples at side connections and flared ends at manholes. The use of a lubricant is recommended and, if used, such lubricant shall be as approved by manufacturer's standards. The manufacturer's standards shall be closely followed during the elevated curing temperature so as not to over stress the felt -fiber and cause damage or failure prior to cure. (If prior approval is obtained from the owner, the Contractor may elect to use a Top Inversion. In this method the fiber -felt tube is preinverted to a distance that corresponds to the minimum inversion head and instead of attaching to an elbow at the base of the vertical inversion standpipe, it is attached to a top ring and the standpipe is formed from the felt tube itself.) After inversion is completed the Contractor shall supply a suitable heat source and water 510 06/09/88 Page 16 Pipe 1 1 recirculation equipment. The equipment shall be capable of delivering hot eater throughout the section by means of a prestrung hose, vhich has been perforated per manufacturer's recommendations, to uniformly raise the vater temperature above the temperature required to effect a cure of the resin. This temperature shall be determined by the resin /catalyst system'employed. The heat source shall be fitted vith suitable monitors to gauge the temperature of the incoming and outgoing eater supply. Another such gauge shall be placed betveen the impregnated felt tube and the pipe invert at the remote manhole to determine the temperature during cure. Vater temperature in the line during the cure period shall not be less than 150 F or more than 200 F as measured at the heat source return line. Initial cure shall be deemed to be completed when inspection of the exposed portions of pipe liner appear to be hard and sound and the remote temperature sensor indicated that an exotherm had occurred. The cure period shall be of a duration recommended by the resin manufacturer, as modified for the manufacturer's process during which time the recirculation of the eater and cycling of the head exchanger to maintain the temperature continues. The Contractor shall cool the hardened_pipe_liner______ to a temperature below 100 F before relieving the static head in the inversion standpipe. Cool -down may be accomplished by the introduction of cool vater into the inversion standpipe to replace eater being drained from a small hole made in the downstream end. Care shall be taken in the release of the static head so that a vacuum vill not be developed that could damage the nevly installed pipe liner. The finished pipe liner shall be continuous over the entire length of an inversion run betveen tvo manholes and be free from visual defects such as foreign inclusions, dry spots or voids. Any defect which vill affect, in the foreseeable future, or warranty period, the integrity or strength of the pipe liner shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense, in a manner specified by the Engineer. 510 06/09/88 Page 17 Pipe 0 510 (f) Polyethylene Tubing 1. General- If, due to broken or misaligned pipe at a manhole 11 vall, the pipe liner failed to make a tight seal, the Contractor shall apply a seal at that point. The seal shall be of a resin mixture compatible vith pipe liner. After the pipe liner has been cured in place, the Contractor shall connect new services or reconnect I existing service connections as designated and identified by the proposal. This shall generally be done vithout excavation, from the interior of the pipeline by means of a television camera and a cutting tool. The eater- tightness of the pipe liner shall be gauged while curing and under a positive head. To ascertain that there is no leakage, the water pressure inside the pipe should hold at 6 pounds per square inch for a duration of at least 4 hours testing time. After the work is completed the Contractor will provide the Engineer with a video tape shoving both the before and after conditions including the restored connections.

Concrete blocking shall be placed behind and under all tap sleeves 24 hours prior to making the vet tap. (d) Service Connections Tapping of PVC or AC pipe for service connections may be made using either a service clamp or saddle or a tapping sleeve recommended by the manufacturer and approved as satisfactory by the Engineer. Direct tapping will not be permitted. All service connections shall be installed so that the outlet is at an angle of approximately 45 degrees above horizontal at the main line. Precautions should be taken to ensure that the tapping saddle or sleeve is placed on the pipe straight to prevent any binding or deformation of the PVC pipe. The mounting chain or U -bolt strap must be tight. Tapping shall be performed with a sharp shell type cutter so designed that it will smoothly penetrate heavy walled PVC DR14 and 200 psi AC and will retain and extract the coupon from the pipe. 510 06/09/88 Page 61 Pipe (25) Backfilling • (a) General ' 6 inch bedding under pipe shall be brought to or near optimum moisture content and densified to provide adequate support for pipe. Remainder of bedding shall be brought to or near optimum moisture content and densified immediately after pipe placement as indicated, except when mortar joints are used for jointing storm severs, no backfill above bedding shall be placed until mortar has cured for at least 6 hours. Special emphasis is placed upon the need for obtaining uniform backfill material anduniformcompacted density throughout the bedding and backfill. Extreme care is to be taken to insure proper backfill over the pipe. The maximum lift of backfill shall be determined by the compaction equipment selected and in no case shall it exceed 18 inches, loose measurement. No heavy equipment, which might damage pipe, vill be alloyed over the pipe until sufficient cover has been placed and compacted. Testing of the completed bedding and backfill in streets and under and around structures shall meet the specified density requirements to be accepted. All initial testing will be at no expense to the Contractor and shall conform to Section 00344, "Testing Laboratory Services ". (b) General Corrugated Metal Pipe After the corrugated metal pipe structure has been completely assembled on the proper line and grade and headvalls constructed where indicated; selected material free from rocks over 8,inches in size from excavation or borrow, as approved by the Engineer, shall be placed along both sides of the completed structures equally, in uniform layers not exceeding 6 inches in depth (loose measurement), sprinkled if — required and thoroughly compacted between adjacent structures and between the structures and the sides of the trench or for a distance each side of the structures equal to the diameter of the pipe if pipe is laid above the existing ground. Backfill material shall be compacted to the same density requirements as indicated for the adjoining sections of embankment in accordance with the governing specifications thereof. Above the 3/4 point of the structure, the fill shall be placed uniformly on each side of the pipe in layers not to exceed 12 inches, loose measure. Prior to adding each new layer of loose backfill material, until a minimum of 12 inches of cover is obtained over the croon of the pipe, an inspection will be made of the inside periphery of the corrugated metal structure to determine if 510 06/09/88 Page 62 Pipe 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 any result o of i im p ro p er l construction dmethodsion has occurred as a (c) Backfill Materials o- ion9D.. u; .. _. ;t: .... .The Engineer.may approve any of the following well graded materials: t. 1.

(d) Backfill in Street Right of Way Placement of backfill under pavement structures and within 2 feet of any structures shall be compacted to the required density using any method, type and size of equipment which will give the required compaction without damaging the pipe or bedding. Placement of backfill greater than 2 feet beyond structures in Right of Way shall be conform to (g) belov. The depth of layers, prior to compaction, shall depend upon the type of sprinkling and compacting equipment used and the - test results thereby obtained. Prior to and in conjunction vith the compaction operation, each layer shall be brought to the moisture content necessary to obtain the required density and shall be kept level to insure uniform compaction over the entire layer. Testing for density will be in accordance with Test Method Tex - 114 - E and Test Method Tex - 115 - Each layer of backfill must provide the density as required herein. Swelling soils (soils vith plasticity index of 20 or more) shall be sprinkled as required to provide not less than optimum moisture nor more than 2 percent over optimum moisture content and compacted to the extent necessary to provide not less than 95 percent nor more than 102 percent of the density as determined in accordance vith Test Method Tex - 114 -E. Nonsvelling soils (soils with plasticity index less than 20) shall be sprinkled as required and compacted to 510 06/09/88 Page 63 Pipe P the extent necessary to provide not less than 95 percent of the density as determined in accordance with Test Method Tex - 114 -E. After each layer of backfill is complete, tests may be made by the Engineer. If the material fails to meet the density indicated, the course shall be reworked as necessary to obtain the indicated compaction and the compaction method shall be altered on subsequent vork•to obtain indicated density and conform to Section 00344, "Testing Laboratory Services ". At any time, the Engineer may order proof rolling to test the uniformity of compaction of the backfill layers. All irregularities, depressions, weak or soft spots which develop shall be corrected immediately by the Contractor. • Should the backfill, due to any reason, lose the required stability, density or finish before the pavement structure is placed, it shall be recompacted and refinished at the sole expense of the Contractor. Excessive loss of moisture. in the subgrade shall be'prevented by sprinkling, sealing or covering with a subsequent backfill layer or granular material. Excessive loss of moisture shall be construed to exist vhen the subgrade soil moisture content is more than 4 percent below the optimum of compaction ratio density. Backfill shall be placed from the top of the bedding material to the existing grade, base course, subgrade or as indicated. The remainder of the street backfill shall be Flexible Base, Concrete or Hot Nix Asphalt Concrete as indicated or to replace in kind the surface removed to construct the pipe. (e) Backfill in County Street or State Highway Right of Vay All work within the right of way must meet the requirements of (d) above, as a minimum and shall meet the requirements of the permit issued by the County vhen their requirements are more stringent. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor will be responsible for contacting the appropriate SDHPT office or County Commissioner's Precinct Office and for coordinating his activities with the operating procedures in effect for utility cut permits and pavement repair under their jurisdiction. Approval for all completed work in the State or County right of way must be obtained from the appropriate Official prior to final payment by the Owner. (f) Backfill in Railroad Right of Way All work within the railroad right of way must meet the requirements of (d) above, as a minimum and shall meet the requirements of the permit issued by the Railroad Owner when their requirements are more stringent. Approval for all completed work in the railroad right of way must be obtained from the Railroad prior to final acceptance. 510 06/09/88 Page 64 Pipe P (g) Backfill in Easements Where not otherwise indicated, Contractor may select whatever methods and procedures may be necessary to restore entire work area to a safe, useful and geologically stable condition with a minimum density of 85 percent or a density superior to that prior to construction: ' In and near flood plain of all streams and watercourses, under or adjacent to utilities, structures, etc., all backfill shall be compacted to a density of not less than 95 percent conforming to SDHPT Test Method Tex - 114 -E, unless otherwise directed by Engineer. All soil areas disturbed by construction shall be covered with top soil and seeded conforming to Item No. 604, "Seeding for Erosion Control ". All turf, drainvays and drainage structures shall be constructed or replaced to their original condition or better. No debris shall remain in the drainvays or drainage structures. (26) Quality Testing for Installed Pipe (a) Wastewater Pipe Acceptance Testing After construction is complete, Engineer shall determine whether the pipeline is to be tested for infiltration, exfiltration or by the low pressure air test method. Wastewater pipe installed in the City of Austin and its ETJ areas shall be tested for exfiltration or infiltration as described below in "Exfiltration Test" and "Infiltration Test" or by acceptable low pressure air test, as described below. At the conclusion of either test series, the work shall be further tested for pipeline settlement as described below. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for making proper repairs to those elements which do not pass these test requirements. (b) Exfiltration Test The pipeline shall be completely filled with eater for its complete length or by sections as determined by the Engineer. If tested for its complete length, the maximum head at any point shall not exceed 25 feet unless otherwise indicated. If tested in sections, the manholes in the test section shall be completely filled with water. After the pipeline has been filled and allowed to stand for 24 hours, the amount of exfiltration shall be calculated. Any amount in excess of 200 gallons per inch of inside pipe diameter per mile per day shall be cause for rejection. 510 06/09/88 Page 65 Pipe (c) Infiltration Test - When the pipe placed in easements is completed, the upper • portion of the ditch backfill shall be removed to a depth of ' not less than 18 inches below the finished surface and width equal to the original trench width. The trench shall then be - flooded with eater until it is completely saturated and eater stands in the ditch a minimum of 12 inches deep. In cases of steep terrain, earthen dikes shall be used to assure that eater will stand over the trench. After it is apparent that . , the trench is completely saturated, the main shall then be inspected with closed- circuit television for infiltration. Any section of the main or any service stub that indicates excessive infiltration shall be cause for rejection. ' This procedure shall not be used for pipes installed in areas where the P.I. of the surrounding material is 20 or higher or II where the backfill material has a P.Z. of 20 or more. (d) Pipeline Settlement Test (e) Low Pressure Air Test of Gravity Flow Vastewater Lines (1) General _.. During the infiltration test or after the exfiltration test, the pipe vial be TV inspected for possible settlement. When air testing has been used, eater shall be flowed into the pipe to permit meaningful observations. Any pipe settlement vhich causes excessive ponding of eater in the pipe shall be cause for rejection. 1 Wastewater lines in sizes for which the City has testing equipment may at the discretion of the Engineer, be air tested between 'manholes. Backfilling to grade shall be completed before the test and all laterals and stubs shall be capped or plugged by the Contractor so as not to allow air losses which could cause an erroneous test II result. Manholes are to be plugged so they are isolated from the pipe and cannot be included in the test. All plugs used to close the sever for the air test must be capable of resisting the internal pressures and must II be securely braced. Place all air testing equipment above ground and alloy no one to enter a manhole or II where a plugged sewer is under pressure. Release all pressure before the plugs are removed. The testing equipment used must include a pressure relief device designed to relieve pressure in the sever under test at , 10 psi or less and must alloy continuous monitoring of the test pressures in order to avoid excessive pressure. Use care to avoid the flooding of the air inlet by infiltrated ground water. (Inject the air at the upper plug if possible.) Use only qualified personnel to conduct the test. 510 06/09/88 Page 66 Pipe P 1 1 1 1 (2) Ground Water F•�! - •" ' ••• Since the presence of ground eater will affect the test results, test holes shall be dug to the pipe zone at L,, usp =• - .. • •• Intervals of not more than 100 feet and the average }m •. * height of ground eater above the pipe (if any) shall be ;.ri;9s -•:' •• - - determined before starting the test. 3i.� i• ,., _ i . , -, _ (3) Test Procedure The Engineer may, at any time, require a calibration check of the instrumentation used. Use a pressure gauge having minimum divisions of 0.10 psi and an accuracy of 0.0625 psi. (One ounce per square inch.) All air used shall pass through a single control panel. Clean the sever to be tested and remove all debris vhere indicated. Vet the sewer prior to testing. The average back pressure of any groundwater shall be determined (0.433 psi) for each foot of average eater depth (if - any) above the sewer. Add air slowly to the section of sever being tested until the internal air pressure is raised to 4.0 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may submerge the pipe. After the internal test pressure is reached, allow at least 2 minutes for the air temperature to stabilize, adding only the amount of air required to maintain pressure. ,After the temperature stabilization period, disconnect the air supply. Determine and record the time in seconds that is required .for the internal air pressure to drop from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig greater than the average back pressure of any ground eater that may submerge the pipe. Compare the time recorded with the time required as follows: Pipe Size (Inches)6 8 10 12 15 18 21 24 Time (Minutes) 3 4 5 6 7.5 9 10.5 12 Any drop in pressure, from 3.5 psig to 2.5 psig, in a time less than that required by the above table shall,be cause for rejection. when the line tested includes more than one size pipe, the minimum time shall be that given for the largest size pipe included. When lines are air tested, manholes are to be tested separately by exfiltration or infiltration. 510 06/09/88 Page 67 Pipe P (27) Pressure Pipe Hydrostatic Testing After the pipe has been installed and backfilled and all service laterals, fire hydrants and other appurtenances installed and connected, a pressure test, followed by a leakage test, will be conducted by the City. The City vill furnish the pump and gauges 'for the tests. The Contractor will be present and shall furnish • all necessary assistance for conducting the tests. The specified test pressures will be based on the elevation of the lowest point of the line or section under test. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. If permanent air vents are not located at all high points, the Contractor shall install corporation cocks at such points. All service laterals and fire hydrant leads, with the hydrant valves closed and nozzle caps open, shall be included in the tests. (a) Pressure Test The entire project or each valved section shall be tested, at a pressure of 200 psi for a sufficient period (approximately 10 minutes) to discover all leaking or defective materials. Repairs shall be made by the Contractor to correct any leaking or defective materials. (b) Pressure Pipe Leakage Test A leakage test will follow the pressure test and be conducted on the entire project or each valved section. The leakage test shall be at 150 psi for at least 1 hour. (1) Allowable Leakage Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of vater that must be supplied into any test section of pipe to maintain the specified leakage test pressure (see above, "Pressure Pipe Leakage Test ") after the air in the pipeline has been expelled and the pipe has been filled with eater. No pipe installation will be accepted if the leakage exceeds 25 gallons /24 hours /mile of pipe /inch nominal pipe diameter. ( 25 gpd ) (in. - mi.) (28) Service Charges for Testing No charge will be made to the Contractor for the City's test equipment, inspection, etc.; when the test results shoe that leakage is within the indicated allowable limits. 510 06/09/88 Page 68 Pipe 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 C . Sterilization of Potable Water Lines • - The Contractor shall protect all piping materials from .contamination during storage, handling and installation. Prior to disinfection, the pipeline interior shall be clean, dry and unobstructed. All dirt, debris, gasket lubricant, etc., shall be washed from the line by swabbing with hypochlorite solution and /or flushing with clean water. 510 For each test, either for leakage or for pressure, which fails to meet the indicated requirements, the City's flat charge of $50.00 for such tests will be charged to the Contractor and vill be deducted from any funds due the Contractor.' The City, at its expense, vill supply the test gauges and the concentrated disinfecting material and City personnel vill supervise and direct the overall sterilization procedure. The Contractor, at his expense, shall provide all other equipment, supplies and the necessary labor to perform the sterilization under general supervision of the City. (a) Procedure and Dosage All valves shall be arranged to prevent the strong .disinfecting dosage from flowing back into the existing water supply piping. The new pipeline shall then be completely filled with disinfecting solution by feeding the concentrated chlorine and approved water from the existing system uniformly into the new piping in such proportions that every part of the line has minimum concentration of 50 parts per million (50 ppm or 50 mg /liter) available chlorine. Unless otherwise indicated, all quantities called for herein refer to measurements by the testing procedures in the current edition of "Standard Methods ". The chlorine concentration of each step in the sterilization procedure shall be verified by chlorine residual determinations. This disinfecting solution shall be retained in the piping for at — least 24 hours and all valves, hydrants, etc., shall be operated to disinfect all their parts. After this retention period, the water shall contain no less than 25 parts per million chlorine throughout the treated section of the pipeline. This heavily chlorinated vater shall then be carefully flushed from the line until the chlorine concentration is no higher than the residual generally prevailing in the existing distribution system or approximately one part per million. Proper planning and appropriate preparations to handle, dilute and dispose of this strong chlorine solution without causing injury or damage to the public, the water system or the environment must be approved by the City before flushing of the line may begin and the flushing shall be witnessed by an authorized representative of the City. 06/09/88 Page 69 Pipe (b) Bacteriological Testing After final flushing of the strong disinfecting solution, eater samples from the line shall be tested for bacteriological quality by the City and must be found free of coliform_organisms before the pipeline may be placed in service. One test sample'shall be dravn from the end of the main and additional samples collected at intervals of not more than 1000 feet along the pipeline. The Contractor, at his expense, shall install sufficient sampling taps at proper locations along the pipeline. Each sampling tap shall consist of a standard corporation cock installed in the line and extended with a copper tubing gooseneck assembly. After samples have been collected, the gooseneck assembly may be removed and retained for future use. Samples for bacteriological analysis shall be collected only from suitable sampling.taps in sterile bottles treated with sodium thiosulfate. Samples shall not be drawn from hoses, fire hydrants, etc. The City, at its expense, will furnish the sterile sample bottles and may, at its discretion, . "collect the test samples with City personnel. . If the initial disinfection fails to produce acceptable sample tests, the disinfection procedure shall be repeated (without extra compensation) until satisfactory test results have been obtained before the piping may be placed in service. (30) Cleanup and Restoration It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to keep the construction site neat, clean and orderly at all times. Cleanup shall be vigorous and continuous to minimize traffic hazards or obstructions along the streets and to driveways. Trenching, backfill and cleanup shall be coordinated as directed by the City.

All surfaces shall be kept moist prior to the application of the curing compound and shall be damp when the compound is applied. When used for interim curing, the curing compound shall be applied to the outside surface of the box upon removal of forms. It shall also be applied to the inside surface or a suitable covering may be placed over the box opening to protect the inside of the box against rapid drying. When used for complete curing, curing compound shall be applied to the inside surface of the box when interim curing is applied or when handling strength has been attained, but not later than 24 hours after casting. Curing shall not be delayed longer than 1 hour after the concrete has been placed in the forms or more than 1/2 hour after removal of forms, unless interim curing is applied. Precast boxes made in a commercial plant shall be continuously cured for a period of 3 days after reaching handling strength or until the design strength has been attained. Curing may be interrupted for no more than 30 minutes for form removal and no more than 4 hours for removal to a storage area and resumption of curing. All precast boxes shall be protected from freezing during the curing period. A curing day is a calendar day when the air temperature, taken in the shade away from artificial heat, is above 50 F for at least 19 hours or for colder days if satisfactory provisions are made to maintain the temperature at all surfaces of the concrete above 50 F for the entire 24 hours. Test cylinders shall be cured at the same time and in the same manner as the boxes. Not more than 4 lifting holes may be provided in each box to facilitate handling. They may be cast -in, cut into the fresh concrete after form removal or drilled and shall not be more than 2 inches in diameter or 2 inches square. Cutting or displacement of reinforcement will not be permitted. Spalled areas around the holes shall be repaired. Concrete boxes shall be given an ordinary finish conforming to Item No. 410, "Concrete Structures ". 559 06/08/88 Page 3 Concrete Box Culverts 559.4 Testing Precast boxes of either type, made in a plant, shall bear the following marking: The name or trademark of the manufacturer; The date of manufacture; When required, elsewhere herein, a match mark for proper installation; and if lifting holes are not provided, one end of each box section shall be clearly marked on the inside and outside walls to indicate the top and /or bottom as it Will be installed. Marking shall be indented into the box or may be painted thereon with waterproof paint. Precast box culverts made in a commercial plant, shall have a minimum of 4 test cylinders for design strength made for each day's production run of each size and class of box culverts. Strength tests for each production run will be based on the average strength of 2 cylinders which may be tested anytime after completion of the specified curing period. When design strength is attained on the initial test, further tests on that run will not be required. Should the initial test fail to meet the design strength, a subsequent test shall be made at 28 days unless additional test cylinders were made during production of that run. Failure to attain design strength by the 28 day test will result in rejection of the run represented by the test. Tests for handling strength will be based on the average of 2 cylinders. These test cylinders are in addition to those required for design strength. Cylinders for compressive strength tests shall be made in accordance with SDHPT Test Method Tex - 707 -1. Testing of precast (formed) culvert sections or cast -in -place culverts shall conform to Item No. 403, "Concrete for Structures ". 559.5 Fabricating Tolerances Tolerances for precast boxes of either type shall conform to the following: The inside vertical and horizontal dimensions shall not vary from plan requirements more than + 1/2 inch.

The sides of a section at each end shall not vary from being perpendicular to the top and bottom by more than 1/2 inch when measured diagonally between opposite interior corners of the end section. The thickness of walls and slabs shall not be less than that required by the plans, except that an occasional deficiency not greater than 1/4 inch will be acceptable. If proper jointing is not affected, thicknesses in excess of plan requirements are acceptable. 559 06/08/88 Page 4 Concrete Box Culverts The straightness of the tongue and groove at the mating surface shall not vary by more than 1/4 inch. Deviations from the above tolerances will be acceptable if the box sections can be fitted at the plant or job site and it is determined that an acceptable joint can be made. For this condition, an acceptable joint is: when 2 box sections are fitted together on a flat surface in proper alignment and in the position they will be installed, the longitudinal opening at any point shall not exceed 1 inch. Box sections accepted in this manner shall be match - marked for installation. 559.6 Defects and Repair Fine cracks or checks on the surface of the member which do not extend to the plane of the nearest reinforcement will not be cause for rejection unless they are numerous and extensive. Cracks which extend into the plane of the reinforcing steel, but are acceptable otherwise, shall be repaired in an approved manner. Small damaged or honeycombed areas which are purely surface in nature may be repaired. Excessive damage, honeycbmb or cracking will be subject to structural review.

Loral Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT More construction problems are caused by site subsur- face conditions than any other factor As troublesome as subsurface problems can be. their frequency and extent have been lessened considerably in recent years. due in large measure to programs and publications of ASFE/ The Association of Engineering Firms Practicing in the Geosciences The following suggestions and observations are offered to help you reduce the geotechnical- related delays. cost - overruns and other costly headaches that can occur during a construction proiect A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS BASED ON A UNIQUE SET OF PROJECT FACTORS A geotechnical engineering report is based on a subsur- face exploration plan designed to incorporate a unique set of project- specific factors. These typically include: the general nature of the structure involved, its size and configuration: the location of the structure on the site and its orientation. physical concomitants such as access roads. parking lots, and underground utilities, and the level of additional risk which the dient assumed by virtue of limitations imposed upon the exploratory program. To help avoid costly problems. consult the geotechnical engineer to determine how any factors which change subsequent to the date of the report may affect its recommendations Unless your consulting geotechnical engineer indicates otherwise. your geotechnical engineerrng report should not be used: • When the nature of the proposed structure is changed. for example. if an office building will be erected instead of a parking garage. or if a refriger- ated warehouse will be built instead of an unre- frigerated one. • when the size or configuration of the proposed structure is altered: • when the location or orientation of the proposed structure is modified, • when there is a change of ownership, or • for application to an adjacent site Geotechnical engineers cannot accept responsibility for problems which may develop if they are not consulted after factors consid- ered to their reports development have changed MOST GEOTECHNICAL "FINDINGS" ARE PROFESSIONAL ESTIMATES Site exploration identifies actual subsurface conditions only at those points where samples are taken, when they are taken Data derived through sampling and sub- sequent laboratory testing are extrapolated by geo- technical engineers who then render an opinion'about overall subsurface conditions. their likely reaction to proposed construction activity. and appropriate founda- tion design. Even under optimal circumstances actual conditions may differ from those inferred to exist. because no geotechnical engineer. no matter how qualified, and no subsurface exploration program, no matter how comprehensive, can reveal what is hidden by earth. rock and time. The actual interface between mate- rials may be far more gradual or abrupt than a report indicates Actual conditions in areas not sampled may differ from predictions. Nothing can be done to prevent the unanticipated. but steps can be taken to help minimize their impact For this reason, most experienced owners retain their geotechnical consultants through the construction stage. to iden- tify variances, conduct additional tests which may be needed. and to recommend solutions to problems encountered on site. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE Subsurface conditions may be modified by constantly - changing natural forces. Because a geotechnical engi- neering report is based on conditions which existed at the time of subsurface exploration. construction deustons should not be based on a geotechnical engineering report whose adequacy may have been affected by time Speak with the geo- technical consultant to learn if additional tests are advisable before construction starts. Construction operations at or adjacent to the site and natural events such as floods. earthquakes or ground- water fluctuations may also affect subsurface conditions and. thus. the continuing adequacy of a geotechnical report The geotechnical engineer should be kept apprised of any such events. and should be consulted to determine if additional tests are necessary GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES ARE PERFORMED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES AND PERSONS Geotechnical engineers reports are prepared to meet the specific needs of specific individuals A report pre- pared for a consulting civil engineer may not be ade- quate for a construction contractor, or even some other consulting civil engineer Unless indicated otherwise. this report was prepared expressly for the dient involved and expressly for purposes indicated by the client Use by any other persons for any purpose, or by the dient for a different purpose. may result in problems No ,ndi- vidual other than the client should apply this report for its intended purpose without first conferring with the geotechnical engineer No person should apply this report for any purpose other than that originally contemplated without first conferring with the aeotechntcal engineer A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING REPORT IS SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION Costly problems can occur when other design profes- sionals develop their plans based on misinterpretations of a geotechnical engineering report. To help avoid these problems. the geotechnical engineer should be retained to work with other appropriate design profes- sionals to explain relevant geotechnical findings and to review the adequacy of their plans and specifications relative to geotechnical issues BORING LOGS SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE . ENGINEERING REPORT Final boring logs are developed by geotechnical engi- neers based upon their interpretation of field logs (assembled by site personnel) and laboratory evaluation of field samples Only final boring logs customarily are included in geotechnical engineering reports These logs should not under any circumstances be redrawn for inclusion in architectural or other design drawings. because drafters may commit errors or omissions in the transfer process Although photographic reproduction eliminates this problem. it does nothing to minimize the possibility of contractors misinterpreting the logs during bid prepara- tion. When this occurs. delays, disputes and unantici- pated costs are the all -too- frequent result. To minimize the likelihood of boring log misinterpreta- tion. give contractors ready access to the complete geotechnical engineering report prepared or authorized for their use Those who do not provide such access may proceed un- der the mtslaken impression that simply disclaiming re- sponsibility for the accuracy of subsurface information always insulates them from attendant liability Providing the best available information to contractors helps pre- vent costly construction problems and the adversarial attitudes which aggravate them to disproportionate scale. READ RESPONSIBILITY CLAUSES CLOSELY Because geotechnical engineering is'based extensively on judgment and opinion. it is far less exact than other design disciplines This situation has resulted in wholly unwarranted claims being lodged against geotechnical consultants. To help prevent this problem. geotechnical engineers have developed model clauses for use in writ- ten transmittals. These are not exculpatory clauses designed to foist geotechnical engineers' liabilities onto someone else. Rather. they are definitive clauses which identify where geotechnical engineers' responsibilities begin and end. Their use helps all parties involved rec- ognize their individual responsibilities and take appro- priate action Some of these definitive clauses are likely to appear in your geotechnical engineering report. and you are encouraged to read them closely. Your geo- technical engineer will be pleased to give full and frank answers to your questions. OTHER STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO REDUCE RISK Your consulting geotechnical engineer will be pleased to discuss other techniques which can be employed to mit- igate risk In addition.

Bennett, Jr. of the ' City of Round Rock. The purpose of this investigation has been to: I - Explore the subsurface materials and conditions present by core drilling and sampling along the proposed street alignment; 1 - Perform laboratory tests to classify the soils and evaluate their pavement support characteristics; and I - Analyze the results of the field and laboratory tests to determine the applicable geotechnical design and construction criteria for the proposed pavement. I The site under investigation is located east of the City of Round Rock between U.S. 79 to the north, County Road 168 to the south, and County I Road 122 to the west (refer to Plate I in the Appendix). Details and results of this investigation are discussed in the following sections of this 1 report. I Subsurface Exploration: Subsurface materials at the site were explored by eighteen core borings advanced to depths ranging from 5.0 to 10.0 feet I below the existing ground surface. The boring locations, which were established from the centerline stakes for the proposed roadway, are shown on Plate I in the Appendix at the end of this report. A 1 truck - mounted rotary drill rig with a three - person crew was used for drilling and field testing. The field operations were conducted between March 8 and March 15, 1990. ®Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation The drilling procedures for this investigation consisted of the following: Cohesive Soils - Continuous sampling using hydraulically advanced 3 -inch diameter, thin -wall steel tube samplers until refusal; and Rock and Rock -Like Materials - Auger sampling and continuous core sampling using an NX -size double -tube core barrel. 2 All samples of subsurface materials were extruded from the samplers in the field, classified visually, and labeled as to location and depth. Undisturbed push -tube samples of soil and 4 inch or longer samples of rock were carefully sealed in plastic sheeting to minimize moisture changes. Disturbed samples of soil were placed in plastic bags. All samples were arranged in core boxes and transported to the laboratory for further analysis. During the field operations, all of the borings were observed for subsurface water prior to using drilling fluid to advance the hole. These observations are noted at the bottom of each boring log and are discussed in subsequent sections of this report. Laboratory Investigation: All samples of subsurface materials from the borings were visually examined and classified in the laboratory by a geologist. Liquid and plastic limit tests and No. 200 -mesh sieve tests were performed on selected samples to establish index properties and grain size characteristics, and to properly classify the soils according to the Unified Soil Classification System. The results of these tests expressed as liquid limit, plasticity index, and percent passing the 200 -mesh sieve are summarized on Plate II and are also shown on the boring logs under the "Test Results" column as "LL ", "PI ", and "F ". Strength properties of the cohesive soils were evaluated through the use of unconfined compression tests on samples. The results of these tests are the measured unit weights and moisture on the boring logs under the "Test preceded by the letter "q ". selected, undisturbed push -tube summarized on Plate II, along with contents for the soil samples, and Results" column where they are ®Trinity I Engineering Testing Corporation 3 ' Pocket penetration tests were conducted on undisturbed soil samples for estimating the consistency characteristics of the clayey materials.

A reading of 4.5+ indicates that the range of the test device was exceeded. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ®Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation 1 4 SUBSURFACE MATERIALS AND CONDITIONS ' Local Geology: The geologic formation outcropping at this site is the Austin Chalk formation, a cretaceous age sedimentary limestone formation. The Austin Chalk is a carbonate limestone varying from chalky limestone to marly limestone and marl in some locales. In its unweathered condition, the Austin Chalk is light gray or gray in coloration and then weathers due to leaching to a tan, sometimes almost white coloration. It is generally 1 considered to be a "soft limestone" as compared to the hard limestones of the Edwards and Georgetown formations west of Round Rock. The , limestone near the surface at this site is weathered to severely weathered, with the surficial clayey soils being residuum formed from extreme weathering of this rock. Subsurface Stratigraphy: Specific types and depths of subsurface 1 materials encountered at the boring locations are shown on the attached Logs of Borings. The degree of weathering, erosion, and topsoil development is quite varied across this property. At three locations (B -15, 16, and 17) only a very thin topsoil (12" or less) exists followed by either severely weathered limestone, a soil -like weathered material, or weathered limestone within several feet of the surface. At the remaining locations the soil development is somewhat thicker reaching 2.5 to 5.0 feet in thickness before transitioning to weathered limestone and limestone. The tan weathered limestones vary with depth to a light gray -or gray limestone which represents a more massive less weathered section of the Austin Chalk. This type of stratigraphy is typical of the Austin Chalk , formation. Subsurface Material Characteristics: The surficial clayey soils have a stiff to hard consistency and can be expected to have moderate to high shrink /swell potential. The severely weathered limestone, which is soil -like in texture, is of stiff to hard consistency. The upper weathered limestone is of very poor to poor quality. This material is very hard relative to the upper soil, but classifies as a low to medium strength rock when compared to other rock types. ® Tr i n i ty Engineering Testing Corporation 5 Subsurface Water: The borings were advanced to depths ranging from 5.0 to 5.5 feet without the use of drilling fluid, and groundwater was not encountered above those shallow depths. This limestone formation is potentially highly permeable to water because of the weathered and fractured areas. Although a permanent groundwater table probably does not exist within the boring depths, seepage water from surface sources will sometimes be present in the permeable zones. The amount of seepage water will be a function of climate conditions (rainfall) prior to and during excavation periods. ®Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation Design Considerations: The performance of the pavement for the planned development depends on several factors, including: The characteristics of the supporting soil; The magnitude and frequency of wheel load applications; The quality of available construction materials; and The pavement design life. PAVEMENT DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA Subgrade Support Characteristics: It is our understanding that the vertical alignment of the roadway will require minimal excavation. Based on this information, the predominant subgrade over the majority of the road right -of -way will be a highly plastic CLAY soil with colors ranging from dark brown, gray- brown, to tan. Since the surficial soil development is relatively non - uniform and is very thin near Boring Nos. 14, 15, 16, and 17, minor excavations may expose the tan SEVERELY WEATHERED LIMESTONE as subgrade. Therefore, two pavement thickness designs are provided. Observation of the road cuts prior to placement of base material will be required to determine the actual subgrade for each thickness design. If this is not practical from a design or construction point of view, then the design for the CLAY subgrade should be used along the entire length of the road. The pavement support characteristics of these two materials were estimated 1) from correlations developed by Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation (TETCO) between soil index properties and Texas triaxial values (Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation test method Tex - 117 -E) and 2) from correlations presented in the literature between soil index properties and resilient modulus values. The results are summarized below. Clay soils Severely weathered limestone SUBGRADE SUPPORT CHARACTERISTICS Texas Triaxial Value Resilient Modulus, ksi 5.6 3.0 4.8 6.0 6 ®Trinity Engineering Testing 1 Corporation 7 1 Traffic Characteristics: Based on the Round Rock Pavement Design Standards and verbal discussions with Mr. Al Willie of the Round Rock I Public Works Department, the street will be classified as a Collector with the following traffic design values: 1 1. Total Equivalent 18 -Kip Single Axle Load Applications 150,000 ' 2. Load Frequency Design Factor 0.90 3. Wheel Design Load (ATDH) 8 kips ' Flexible Pavement Thickness Design: Pavement designs have been I determined for each subgrade condition using a modified version of the SDHPT long -life pavement design procedure. This modified procedure I incorporates traffic repetitions, as determined by AASHTO road test results, as a design parameter. The recommended sections are as follows. 1 HMAC Surface Crushed Limestone Subgrade Course Base Material I Dark Brown, Gray -Brown or Tan CLAY 2.0 inches 14.0 inches ' Tan SEVERELY WEATHERED LIMESTONE 2.0 inches 10.0 inches I Pavement on Expansive Soils: Pavement design methods are intended to provide an adequate thickness of structural materials over a particular I subgrade, such that wheel loads are reduced to a level the subgrade can support. The support characteristics of the subgrade for flexible ' pavement design does not account for shrink and swell movements of an expansive clay subgrade such as the dark brown, gray- brown, or tan clay soils on this project. Thus, the pavement may be adequate from a structural standpoint, yet still experience cracking and deformation due to shrink /swell movement of the subgrade. 1 1 Aran Trinity 1 Engineering Testing Corporation 8 It is therefore important to minimize moisture changes in the subgrade to reduce shrink /swell movements. The pavement and adjacent areas should be_well drained. Proper maintenance should be performed on cracks in the pavement surface to prevent water passing through to the base or subbase material. Even with these precautions, some movements and related cracking may still occur, requiring periodic maintenance. Specifications: The pavements should be specified, constructed and tested to meet the following requirements: 1. Hot -Mix Asphaltic Concrete Surface - SDHPT Item 340, Type D. 2. Crushed Limestone Base Material - SDHPT Item 248, Type 1 A, Grade 2 or better. The material should be compacted in lifts not to exceed 6 inches compacted thickness at a 1 minimum of 100 percent of TEX -113 -E maximum dry density. 1 1 TRINITY ENGINEE ING TESTING CORPORATION S !
