All conduit and fittings shall be of the sizes and types shown on the plans. Each section of conduit shall bear evidence of approval by Underwriter's Laboratories. Rigid metal conduit shall be steel, hot-dipped galvanized inside and outside. PVC conduit shall be Schedule 40 and meet the requirements of NEMA Standard TC-2, UL 651, and the NEC. 2.1.2 Conduit terminating in pole bases or pedestal bases shall not extend vertically more than 3 inches above the concrete foundation. Field bends in rigid metal conduit shall have a minimum radius of 12 diameters of the nominal size of the conduit. Copper clad ground rods in signal bases shall not extend vertically more than 3 inches above the concrete foundation. 2.1.3 Each length of galvanized rigid metal conduit, where used, shall be reamed and threaded on each end and couplings shall be made up tight. White-lead paint or equal shall be used on threads of all joints. Metal conduit and fittings shall have the burrs and rough places smoothed. Where the coating on a metal conduit run has been damaged in handling or installation, such damaged parts shall be thoroughly painted with rust preventive paint. PVC conduit shall be joined by solvent-weld method in accordance with the conduit manufacturer's recommendations. All couplings and connections shall be tight and waterproof. 2.1.4 Ends of conduits shall be capped or plugged until the installation of wire. No reducer couplings shall be used unless specifically indicated on the plans. Page 2 of 14 2.1.5 The conduits shall be placed in an open trench at a minimum 24 inches depth below the curb grade in the sidewalk areas, or 18 inches below the finished street grade in the street areas. 2.1.6 All conduit, which is to be placed under existing pavement, sidewalks, and driveways, shall be placed by first providing a void through which the PVC conduit shall be inserted. The use of dry-boring equipment is acceptable. Pits for boring shall not be closer than 2 feet to the back of the curb or the outside edge of the shoulder unless otherwise directed by the City. This operation shall not interfere with the operation of street, highway, or other facility, and shall not weaken or damage embankment structure, or pavement. The boring operation shall provide a maximum one inch overcut for the conduit to be placed, and use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to the extent to lubricate cuttings. 2.1.7 Backfill for all excavations shall be tamped with mechanical tamps in six inch (6") layers to the density of the surrounding ground (95% standard proctor, 0 to +3% optimum moisture). 2.2 Existing Conduit 2.2.1 Prior to pulling cable in existing underground conduit to be reused in the system, the conduit shall be cleaned with a mandrel or cylindrical wire brush and blown out with compressed air. If conduit appears to be blocked, the contractor shall make an attempt to clear the conduit by rodding. (The Contractor will not receive extra compensation for rodding). 2.2.2 Where existing conduit is found to be unusable (conduit has collapsed or the cable is unable to be pulled from the existing conduit), the Contractor shall, upon approval by the Engineer, install new rigid metal or PVC conduit. 3.0 CABLE 3.1 General 3.1.1 All cable will be considered subsidiary to the contract with the exception of the 16 conductor cable, 8 conductor cable, 4 conductor cable, #6 triplex cable, and the loop detector lead-in cable. 3.1.2 The cables shall be installed in the conduit. The conduit must be continuous, reasonably dry, completely free of debris, and without sharp projections, edges or short bends. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the conduit is dry and free of debris by pulling a swab and/or mandrel through the conduit. The conductors shall be installed in such a manner and by such methods so as to insure against harmful stretching of the conductors or damage to the insulation. Installation methods shall conform to the Page 3 of 14 recommendations of the cable manufacturer. The Contractor shall furnish at least two copies of the manufacturer's recommendations, which includes: methods of attaching pull cable, pulling tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit bend, and the type of lubricant to be used. 3.1.3 All cables in a given conduit run shall be pulled at the same time and the conductors shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped directly by the conductors by forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is formed. The method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling tension in each case. 3.1.4 In many instances, existing conduits which contain signal cable are to be used for the installation of new cables. In such locations, where new cables are to replace all existing cables, the existing cables may be used to pull in the new cables. At locations where new cables are to be added to existing cable runs, the existing cables shall first be pulled out, then replaced, adding the new cables to the existing cables to form one cable pull. Installation shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables. In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of material and labor for replacement of defective cables. 3.1.5 The manufacturer's recommended maximum pulling tensions shall not be exceeded under any circumstances. If so required by the Engineer, the Contractor shall insert a dynamometer in the pull wire as the cables are being pulled into the conduit to demonstrate that the maximum tensions are not being exceeded. The cable shall be fed freely off the reel into the conduit without making a reverse curve. At the pulling end, the pull wire and cables shall be drawn from the conduit in direct line with the conduit. Sheaves or other suitable devices shall be used as required to reduce any hazards to the cable during installation. The cables shall be adequately lubricated to reduce friction and further minimize possible damage. Such lubricants shall not be the grease or oil type used on lead sheathed cables, but shall be one of several commercially available wire pulling compounds that are suitable for PVC sheathed cables. They shall consist of soap, talc, mica, or similar materials and shall be designed to have no deleterious effect on the cables being used. 3.1.6 The cables shall be neatly trained to their destinations in manholes, cabinets, pole bases, pull boxes, and all other terminations. The cable manufacturer's recommended values for the minimum bending radii to which cables may be bent for permanent training during installation shall be adhered to. These limits do not apply to conduit bends, sheaves or other curved surfaces around which these cables may be pulled under tension while being installed. Larger radius bends are required for such conditions. Page 4 of 14 3.2 Wire and Cable 3.2.1 All wire and cable shall be IMSA rated and conform to the requirements shown on the plans, except wire and cable specifically covered by other items of this contract.

The jacket and insulation shall be removed as required. In doing this, use proper care to insure against nicking the conductors. The connector shall be installed tightly and all burrs, rough edges, etc. shall be removed. If required in the plans or by the City, the connection also shall be soldered. Heat shall be applied by use of hot solder. Heating the connection with a direct flame will not be permitted. Care shall be used to protect the insulation when soldering. The entire surface shall be cleaned taking special care in cleaning the outside jacket in order to remove the wax finish. Before the first layer of tape is wrapped, the entire area shall be coated with an electric grade rubber cement. After this solvent has dried, the connection shall be insulated with electrical grade rubber splicing compound tape to proper thickness. This tape requires a pressure and temperature in service to complete its vulcanizing process and thus be stretched to 2/3 width when applied. The completed splice shall be covered with a half-lap layer of vinyl plastic electrical tape. This wrapping shall be smooth but the tape shall not be stretched more than necessary. 3.7 Enclosed Wiring 3.7.1 All cables and signal conductor wire above the ground surface shall be enclosed in approved metal conduit up to but no closer than one foot of the lowest power conductor. Power-tap lines carried down poles shall be placed in rigid metal conduit. Page 6 of 14 3.8 Identification of Signal Wires 3.8.1 IMSA color coded signal cable shall be used.
