Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infiastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States,or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest, as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. Coverage for acts of terrorism is already included in the captioned Surety Bond. You should know that, effective November 26, 2002, any losses caused by acts of terrorism covered by your Surety Bond will be partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the Act.

CLASSIFICATION OF EXCAVATION Excavation shall be"unclassified"and involves the removing of the necessary materials to provide the trench to the required width and depth. The Contractor, prior to submitting a Pipeline Excavation and Backfill 02202-1 FTW02335 proposal, must satisfy himself as to the actual sub-surface conditions. No extra or separate payments shall be made for rock,dewatering, or any other condition. B. CITY, COUNTY,AND PRIVATE ROAD CROSSINGS Where the work is in the right-of-way of City,County and privately owned roads, the Owner will secure the necessary permits and easements for the work. Work to be performed within the limits of the public right-of-way shall be in full accordance with the requirements of the easements and permits and as requested by the City, County, or private owner. Provide temporary access and detours for roads and driveways cut-off during pipe laying operations. C. PROTECTION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES AND UTILITIES 1. Prior to the start of construction and preparation of pipe layout sheets, the Contractor shall communicate with the local representative of the utility companies including, but not limited to the oil companies,gas company, electric company,telephone company,water utilities, sanitary sewer utilities, and any other public and private utility companies in the location of the proposed construction in order to obtain the assistance of the utility companies in locating utility lines and in the avoidance of conflicts with utility lines. The Contractor shall uncover and determine the elevation and location of conflicts well ahead of the manufacture of the pipe. No additional compensation will be considered for lowering or raising the pipe grade to accommodate existing utilities. The Engineer has shown the estimated location of existing utilities as determined from field surveys and record data from utility companies. The fact that some utilities are not shown or are incorrectly shown in no way relieves the Contractor from his responsibility to locate all existing utilities. 2. The Contractor shall advise the Engineer of any existing utilities which are not shown on the plans, incorrectly shown, and which"affect the pipe layout." Contractor shall also propose a resolution of the utility conflict. The Engineer will decide if the existing utility should be relocated, or whether the proposed pipeline location will be revised. If the proposed pipeline is adjusted, an adjustment in contract price will be made by adjusting quantities for the various unit price pay items. If the proposed pipe grade is adjusted by 2 vertical feet or less, no contract price adjustment will be made. If the proposed pipe ' grade is adjusted by more than two vertical feet, a contract price adjustment will be agreed to per the General Conditions. 3. Utilities which"affect the pipe layout"will be interpreted by the Engineer as follows: a. Utilities which conflict with the grade of the proposed pipe will be interpreted as "affecting the pipe layout." b. Utilities which would conflict with operations and maintenance of the proposed pipe will be interpreted as"affecting the pipe layout." 4. Where excavation endangers adjacent slopes, structures and utilities,the Contractor shall, at his own expense,carefully support and protect such structures and/or utilities so that there shall be no damage. Costs of temporarily or permanently relocating the conflicting utilities shall be borne by the Contractor without extra compensation from the Owner. 5. If in the opinion of the Engineer, concrete backfill is necessary for the support of utility lines crossing trenches, the Engineer may direct 2,000 psi concrete backfill to be used. Payment shall be made to the Contractor at the unit price bid for the installation of such quantity of the concrete backfill as directed by the Engineer. 1.07 OPTIONS [NOT USED] 1.08 GUARANTEES;MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT Following the certification of completion by the Engineer, maintain paved surfaces, unpaved trench surfaces,fences, curbs, sidewalks, and gutters,for a period of twenty-four(24) months thereafter.

For the purpose of this specification, "rigid pipe"shall be defined as the following: 1) All diameters Prestressed Concrete Pressure Pipe(AWWA C301). 2) Twenty-four(24")inch and smaller diameters Bar-Wrapped Concrete Cylinder Pipe(AWWA C303). 3) All diameters Ductile Iron Pipe(AWWA C151). b. For the purpose of this specification, "semi-rigid pipe"shall be defined as the following: 1) Twenty-seven(27")inch and larger diameters Bar-Wrapped Concrete Cylinder Pipe(AWWA C303). 2) All diameters Steel Water Pipe(AWWA C200). 2.02 MIXES [NOT USED] 2.03 FABRICATIONS[NOT USED] Pipeline Excavation and Backfill 02202-3 FTW02335 2.04 MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS [NOT USED] 3.00 EXECUTION 3.01 PREPARATION [NOT USED] 3.02 INSTALLATION [NOT USED] 3.03 TRENCH EXCAVATION A. GENERAL 1. Excavate trenches to the alignment,width, and depth as indicated or as required for the proper installation of the pipe. Brace the trench and/or dewater the trench if necessary so that the workmen may work safely and efficiently. 2. Comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders of any public body having jurisdiction for the safety of persons or property or to protect them from damage, injury or loss. 3. Dewater excavations so that the work is performed in the"dry". Bailing, pumping, and dewatering shall be at the Contractor's expense. Use coarse gravel instead of embedment material under the pipe at no extra cost to the Owner to provide for the free drainage and flow of water in the pipe trench,where it is necessary, in order to keep the water level below the pipe barrel and bell holes for joints. The water removed from trenches shall be conducted to natural drainage ways, drains, or storm sewers in such a manner as to prevent damage to adjacent property or to the public. Pumps of ample capacity and in duplicate must be provided to insure that once an excavation is made dry, the water is kept down until that part of the work under construction is completed. 4. It is intended that the line be laid to the grades as shown on the plans. The precise and detailed pipe layout is to be prepared by the Contractor and submitted to the Engineer for information and review. The responsibility for the workability of the detailed layout remains with the Contractor. High points shall be located at air valves and the pipe " sections containing air valves shall have a horizontal grade. At drainage crossings, the depth of cut shall be increased to prevent uncovering of the pipe by surface erosion, as shown on the plans. 5. Where unforeseen conditions warrant a revised grade during construction, the Contractor shall submit a revised-pipe layout to the Engineer for approval. No intermediate"highs"or "lows"will be allowed in the pipe grade without the approval of the Engineer. B. PIPE TRENCH 1. For the purpose of this specification, the"pipe zone"shall be defined as the zone from the bottom of the trench to 6"above the top of the pipe 2. The trench walls in the"pipe zone"shall be vertical. 3. Trench walls above the pipe zone may be laid back or benched where room permits as necessary to meet the requirements of OSHA. 4. Where the character of the trench walls is loose, unstable, saturated soft clays, quicksand, or otherwise unable to provide adequate side support to maintain the required pipe deflection, the Contractor shall modify the trenching and backfill to keep the pipe within the limits of the specified deflection. The Contractor shall widen the trench excavation one pipe diameter on each side of the pipe. The trench shall then be backfilled with crushed limestone to the top of the pipe. The crushed limestone shall be compacted to 95% maximum density as measured by ASTM D4253. Care shall be used so that the exterior pipe coating is not damaged. Concrete encasement, soil cement, or some other method approved by the Engineer, may be used in lieu of this procedure. Payment shall be made to the Contractor at the unit price bid for the installation of such quantity of crushed limestone for miscellaneous placement as directed by the Engineer. Pipeline Excavation and Backfill 02202-4 FTW02335 C. PIPE FOUNDATION 1. Excavate the trench to an even grade so that the full length of the pipe barrel is supported and joints make up properly. Excavate the trench to the line and grade indicated and as directed by the Engineer. Grades shall be uniform between high points and low points to eliminate intermediate"highs and lows". 2. For 32"diameter and smaller pipe,the trench shall be"rough cut"a minimum of 4" below the bottom of the pipe. For 33"and larger pipe,the trench shall be"rough cut'a minimum a of 6"below the bottom of the pipe. The"rough cut"dimension shall be increased as necessary to provide a minimum clearance of 2"from the bottom of the trench to the bottom of the bells,flanges,valves,fittings, etc. 3. The entire foundation area in the bottom of all excavations shall be firm, stable material. Loose material shall be removed, leaving a clean,flat trench bottom, and material shall not be disturbed below required sub-grade except as hereinafter described. If the subgrade is soft, spongy, disintegrated, or where the character of the foundation materials is such that a proper foundation cannot be obtained at the elevation specified,then when directed by the Engineer the Contractor shall deepen the excavation to a depth where a satisfactory foundation can be obtained. The sub-grade shall then be brought back to the required grade with crushed limestone,thoroughly compacted to 95%of maximum density in accordance with ASTM D4253. Payment shall be made to the Contractor at the unit price bid for the installation of such quantity of crushed limestone for miscellaneous placement as directed by the Engineer. D. CORRECTING FAULTY GRADE If the trench is excavated to a faulty grade(at a lower elevation than indicated), correct the faulty grade as specified below: 1. In uniform, stable dry soils, correct the faulty grade with granular embedment material thoroughly compacted to 95%of maximum density. 2. In soft spongy disintegrated soils or where necessary to allow proper drainage, correct the faulty grade with crushed limestone compacted to 95%of maximum density. 3. No extra payment will be made for crushed limestone or other material to correct faulty .. grade. E. PIPE CLEARANCE IN ROCK Remove ledge rock, rock fragments, or unyielding shale or marl to provide a clearance of at least 6"below the parts of the pipe,valves or fittings. Provide adequate clearance for properly jointing pipe laid in rock trenches at bell holes. Refill the excavation to grade with granular embedment material. F. BLASTING PROCEDURE Blasting will not be allowed. G. BELL HOLES REQUIRED Bell holes of ample dimension shall be dug in trenches at each joint of pipe to permit the jointing to be made properly, visually inspected, and so that the pipe will rest on the full length of the barrel. Polyurethane coated steel pipe shall have the joints excavated to a sufficient depth to allow proper cleaning, application, testing and inspection of field applied coating j system. H. CARE OF SURFACE MATERIAL FOR REUSE Surface materials such as top soil in its natural state, suitable for reuse in restoring the excavated surface, shall be kept separate from the general excavation material. The top 12" of the trench backfill shall be topsoil. Save the topsoil to be used as backfill of the top 12"of Pipeline Excavation and Backfill 02202-5 FTW02335 the trench after pipe laying. Where the natural topsoil is less than 12"deep, and with the approval of the Engineer, the Contractor may strip less than 12"of topsoil. I. MANNER OF PILING EXCAVATED MATERIAL Place excavated material so that work is not endangered or interferes with public traffic or other construction. Do not place excavated material over buried pipelines or existing utilities unless adequate provisions are made to protect those pipelines and/or utilities. Roads and driveways must be kept open in every case. Keep drainage channels clear of obstructions or make other satisfactory provisions for drainage. J. TRENCHING BY MACHINE OR BY HAND The use of trench digging machinery is approved except in places where operations of same will cause damage to existing structures or pipelines above or below ground, in which case employ hand methods. K. STRUCTURAL EXCAVATION Excavation shall extend a sufficient distance from walls and footings to allow for form installation and inspection, except where concrete for walls and footings is authorized or required to be deposited directly against excavated surfaces. Where excavation, through the fault of the Contractor, is made below the elevation specked or directed by the Engineer, restore the excavation to the proper elevation with stabilized backfill (lean concrete)or other approved material at the Contractor's expense. 3.04 BACKFILLING OF TRENCHES A. GENERAL This section of the specification is intended to cover the requirements for all trench backfill. B. TIME OF BACKFILLING Backfill operations shall immediately follow pipe jointing,joint coating application, and curing. However, backfill operations shall not occur until the exterior joint mortar has set up. C. BRACED AND SHEETED TRENCHES Remove sheeting and shoring as backfilling operations progress. Incorporate methods so that a good bond is obtained between the backfill material and the undisturbed trench walls. D. PROTECTION OF PIPE DURING BACKFILLING OPERATIONS Take the necessary precautions to protect the pipe during backfilling operations. Take care to prevent damage to the pipe or to the pipe coating, and repair any damaged pipe before being "covered up". Backfill the trench to prevent the deformation or otherwise deflection of the cylindrical shape of the pipe by more than the allowable pipe deflection as specified elsewhere. Use methods such as stulling or ellipsing as necessary. E. BACKFILL PROCEDURES IN THE PIPE ZONE FOR RIGID PIPE 1. Place the specked granular embedment material on satisfactory trench foundation to the indicated dimensions in three(3)lifts. The first lift shall extend from the bottom of the trench to slightly above the bottom of the pipe grade. Lay pipe on the first lift of embedment material to the indicated grade. The second lift shall be to 0.25 of the outside diameter of the pipe. The third lift shall be to 6"above the top of pipe. Compact granular embedment material on both sides of the pipe to 95%of the maximum density as measured by ASTM D4253. Compact embedment by vibration, mechanical tamping, or a combination thereof. Pipeline Excavation and Backfill 02202-6 FTW02335 2. Place first lift of embedment material true to line and grade with bell holes of ample dimension to permit the pipe to rest on the full length of the barrel and to permit joint make-up and coating application at joints. 3. Place second lift of embedment material carefully to prevent voids under the haunches of the pipe and to prevent disturbing pipe alignment. 4. Perform the mechanical compaction to prevent floating or damaging the pipe. Relay any pipe which is floated or otherwise disturbed to the original grade at the Contractor's expense. F. BACKFILL PROCEDURE IN THE PIPE ZONE FOR SEMI-RIGID PIPE 1. Place the first lift of granular embedment material to a depth slightly above the bottom of pipe grade. Lay pipe on this embedment material to the indicated grade. Provide bell holes to permit the pipe to rest on the full length of the barrel and to permit joint make-up and coating. 2. Place the second lift of embedment material, uniformly on both sides of the pipe to a loose depth of one half(0.5)of the outside diameter of the pipe,taking precautions not to disturb the pipe alignment. Compact the second lift of embedment material using vibration or mechanical tamping to produce a uniformly blended and compacted backfill. Contractor shall take precautions to ensure no voids occur under the haunches of the pipe and to prevent disturbance of the pipe alignment.

Install pipe,fittings, specials, and appurtenances as specified herein, as specified in AWWA Manual M-9 and in accordance with Pipe Manufacturer's recommendations. 2. Lay pipe to the lines and grades as indicated. Completed pipe installation shall have a maximum 1%deflection measured diametrically. B. PIPE HANDLING 1. Haul, pipe,fittings, valves and other accessories to the job site. At all times handle the pipe with care to avoid damage. Load and unload pipe using hoists or cranes as specified below. Under no circumstances shall they be dropped. Pipe handled on skidways must not be skidded or rolled against pipe already on the ground. 2. At all times handle pipe with wide nonabrasive slings,wire ropes, belts or other equipment designed to prevent damage to the coating, and keep this equipment in such repair that its continued use is not injurious to the coating. The use of tongs, bare pinch-bars, chain slings, or pipe hooks without proper padding or any other handling equipment which the Engineer deems to be injurious to the coating shall not be permitted. Provide adequate spacing of pipe supports to prevent cracking or damage to the cement mortar lining. 3. Carefully observe the pipe for cracking and check the inside lining and coating, and should cracking occur,take immediate steps to protect the pipe. Have the Pipe Manufacturer repair any joint of pipe that has shrinkage cracks with a width of 1/16"or greater in the inside lining by using an approved method. If, in the opinion of the Engineer,the pipe is not suitable for repair, reject, plainly mark,and remove the pipe from the project site. 4. Have the Pipe Manufacturer repair any joint of pipe that has exterior coating cracks larger than 0.005"(a hairline)by using an approved method. If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the pipe is not suitable for repair, reject, plainly mark, and remove the pipe from the project site. 5. Remove, replace or reject any disbonded lining or coating. Apply bonding agent to patch area. A patch larger than 100 square inches or 12"inches in greatest dimension shall not be accepted. Adequately cure patches. 6. Provide the proper implements, tools, equipment and facilities for safe and convenient prosecution of the work. Lower pipe,fittings, specials, valves, etc. into the trench by means of a crane or other machine. Do not roll or dump into the trench. The crane shall be of a sufficient size for handling the pipe, and shall lift and lower the pipe at a slow rate of speed. The crane shall be capable of stopping the lifting operation at any point without producing a shock or otherwise jerking or vibrating the pipe. 7. Keep the pipe clean during the laying operation and free of sticks, dirt, and trash. At the close of each operating day, effectively seal the open end of the pipe using a gasketed night cap. No pipe should be laid in water. C. PIPE JOINTING 1. GENERAL Thoroughly clean the bell and spigot rings before laying each joint of pipe by brushing and wiping. If any damage to the protective coating on the metal has occurred, repair the damage before laying the pipe. Lubricate the gasket and the inside surface of the bell with an approved lubricant(flax soap)which will facilitate the telescoping of the joint. Tightly fit together sections of pipe and exercise care to secure true alignment and grade. When a joint of pipe is being laid, place the gasket on the spigot ring and enter the spigot end of the pipe into the bell of the adjoining pipe and push into position. The inside joint space between ends iw of the pipe sections shall have an opening within the tolerances as recommended by the Pipe Manufacturer. No"blocking up"of pipe or joints will be permitted, and if the pipe is not uniformly supported or the joint not made up properly, remove the joint and properly prepare Bar-Wrapped Concrete Cylinder Pipe and Fittings 02614-6 FTW02335 1� the trench. After joining, check the position of the gasket with a feeler gauge. If the gasket is out of position, disassemble the joint and repeat the joint laying procedure. In areas of petroleum hydrocarbon soil contamination install special Neoprene gaskets or approved equal. For interior welded joints, complete backfill before welding. After welding, apply the interior joint coating. 2. EXTERIOR JOINTS: Make the exterior joint by placing a joint wrapper around the pipe and secure in place with two(2)metal straps. The wrapper shall be 9"wide for pipe 36"and larger, and 7"wide for smaller pipe, hemmed on each side. The wrapper shall be fiberglass reinforced or burlap cloth,with lengths encircling the pipe, leaving enough opening between ends to allow the mortar to be poured inside the wrapper into the joint. Fill the joint with mortar from one side in one(1)continuous operation until the grout has flowed entirely around the pipe. During the filling of the joint, pat or manipulate the sides of the wrapper to settle the mortar and expel any entrapped air. Leave wrappers in place undisturbed until the mortar has set-up. 3. INTERIOR JOINTS: Upon completion of backfilling of the pipe trench,fill the inside joint recess with a stiff cement mortar. Prior to placing of mortar, clean out dirt or trash which has collected in the joint, and moisten the concrete surfaces of the joint space by spraying or brushing with a wet brush. Where the mortar joint opening is one inch or wider, such as where trimmed spigots are required, apply a bonding agent to mortar and steel surface prior to placing joint mortar. Ram or pack the stiff mortar into the joint space and take extreme care to insure that no voids remain in the joint space. After the joint has been filled, level the surfaces of the joint mortar with the interior surfaces of the pipe with a steel trowel so that the surface is smooth. 4. Interior joints of pipe 24"and smaller shall have the bell buttered with mortar, prior to inserting the spigot, such that when the spigot is pushed into position it will extrude surplus mortar from the joint. The surplus mortar shall be struck off flush with the inside of the pipe by pulling a filled burlap bag or an inflated ball through the pipe with a rope. 5. WELDED JOINTS:Thirty-six inch and smaller pipe shall be welded from the outside using the following procedures: a. Telescope together the joints to be welded with a rubber gasket as specified above and align perfectly with the adjacent section of pipe. Accomplish welding by laying a filler rod between the steel bell of one(1)section and the steel spigot of the other, and welding the bell to the outside of the spigot. Use no less than three(3)complete passes to make the weld. When the joint weld is completed, pour the exterior joint with mortar as specified above. After all sections are in final position,fill the interior joint as specified above. Welded joints shall meet the requirements of AWWA Manual M-9. b. Forty-two inch and larger pipe shall be welded from the inside, using the following procedures: c. Joint spigots shall be trimmed where the stress in the gasket groove exceeds 12,000 psi due to axial thrust load. Trim the joint ring behind the gasket groove. After the adjacent pipe sections are aligned and tack welded,weld the bell to the spigot with a full fillet weld. Welded joints shall meet the requirements of AWWA Manual M-9. When the joint weld is completed, grout the inside joint, pour the exterior joint with mortar as specified above. d. General weld requirements shall be as follows: 1) Weld joints in accordance with the AWWA C-206 for Field Welding of Steel Water Pipe. Unless otherwise specked, welds shall be full circle fillet welds. 2) Adequate provisions for reducing temperature stresses shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. 3) After the pipe have been joined and properly aligned and prior to the start of the welding procedure, the spigot and bell shall be made essentially concentric by Bar-Wrapped Concrete Cylinder Pipe and Fittings 02614-7 FTW02335 jacking, shimming,or tacking to obtain clearance tolerance around the periphery of the joint. In no case shall the clearance tolerance be permitted to accumulate. 4) Before welding,thoroughly clean pipe ends. Weld pipe by machine or by the manual shielded electric arc process. Welding shall be performed so as not to damage lining or coating. Cover the coating as necessary to protect from welding. 5) Furnish labor,equipment,tools and supplies, including shielded type welding rod. Protect welding rod from any deterioration prior to its use. If any portion of a box or carton is damaged, reject the entire box or carton. 6) In all hand welding, the metal shall be deposited in successive layers. For hand welds, not more than 1/8"of metal shall be deposited in each pass. Each pass except the final one,whether in butt of fillet welds, shall be thoroughly bobbed or peened to relieve shrinkage stresses and to remove dirt, slag, or flux before the succeeding bead is applied. Each pass shall be thoroughly fused into the plates at each side of the welding groove or fillet and shall not be permitted to pile up in the center of the weld. Undercutting along the side shall not be permitted. 7) Welds shall be free from pin holes, non-metallic inclusions, air pockets, undercutting and/or any other defects. 8) If the ends of the pipe are laminated, split or damaged to the extent that satisfactory welding contact cannot be obtained, remove the pipe from the line. 9) Furnish each welder employed with a steel stencil for marking the welds, so that the work of each welder may be identified. Have each welder stencil the pipe adjacent to the weld with the stencil assigned to him. In the event any welder leaves the job, his stencil shall be voided and not duplicated if another welder is employed. 10) Use only competent, skilled and qualified workmen. Each welder employed by the Contractor shall be required to satisfactorily pass a welding test in accordance with AWWA C-206 before being allowed to weld on the line. 11) After each welder has qualified in the preliminary tests referred to above, inspections shall be made of joints in the line. Any welder making defective welds shall not be allowed to continue to weld. 12) Dye penetrant tests in accordance with ASTM E165, or magnetic particle tests, shall be performed by the Contractor under the supervision and inspection of Owner's Representative or an independent testing laboratory, retained by the Owner, on all welded joints. Welds that prove to be defective will be replaced or repaired, whichever is deemed necessary by the Engineer, at Contractor's expense. 13) If the Contractor disagrees with the Engineer's interpretation of welding tests, test sections may be cut from the joint for physical testing. The Contractor shall bear the expense of repairing the joint, regardless of the results of physical testing. The procedure for repairing the joint shall be approved by the Engineer before proceeding. D. PROTECTION OF BURIED METAL Protect buried ferrous metal such as flanges, nuts, bolts,dresser couplings, etc. by applying two wraps of Trenton No. 2 wax tape, and encasing it with flowable fill. E.
