DA-46 RECOMMENDED SEQUENCE OF CONSTRUCTION It is recommended that the proposed water improvements be conducted with a rigid schedule to meet the contract duration. Below is the recommended sequence of construction for operations at 36"water main and 24" & 16" connection lines. Plans state that the proposed 36" water main shall be connected into the existing 36" water main via a connection at the existing tee. After the work start date has been established, the selected contractor shall be required to submit the beginning and ending dates for all major work areas (including pavement repair on each of the project streets if applicable). Please be advised that the contractor has the option of submitting an acceptable alternate sequence of construction than stated below. The contractor shall not be allowed to begin work (but time charges will begin on the project) until the preferred sequence of construction and schedule of work has been submitted to and approved by the City. The following sequence is recommended' in order to coordinate construction activities with Fort Worth Field Operations. 1. All material must be on-site or available before the City will approve shut-down of the existing line. a. All connections to the existing lines shall be done in the winter (November to March). Installation in April or later will likely hinder water delivery due to seasonal increases in system water demand. b. The contractor is to work on the weekend as necessary to minimize the impact of the down water line. c. The contractor shall construct the proposed 36"& 24" line and put them in service before the connection of the proposed 16" line can be connected to the existing 24"water line (in Jimeson). d. Contractor shall limit the down time of the existing 36" and 24" water line to 8 hours for the connection of the proposed water line. If the line is not in service in the 8 hour period the contractor is to continue working until the line is back in service and the connection is approved by the City. 2. Contractor to notify the City Inspector who will contact Field Operations 2 weeks prior to beginning construction. 3. After the Contractor contacts the City Inspector who notifies Field Operations that construction is ready to start, the Field Operations will review tank levels and current operations to determine a time the system will be shut down for installation of the proposed 36" water main. The contractor will contact the City Inspector who will contact Field Operations 1 week prior to beginning construction on any of the connections to the existing water lines. Field Operations will operate existing valves. The Contractor is expected to dewater the water pipes between the shutoff valves prior to construction. The locations of the existing 36"shutoff valves that are adjacent to the proposed connection are described on sheet 6. The 16" shutoff valve is shown in the plan view. The total G:\FW0112643\Specs\C0NTRACT 11Addendum ftequence of construction.doc length of existing 36" pipe to be dewatered is approximately 6250 If. A map of the location of gate valves; blow off valves and air valves is on sheet 3 of the plans. Blow off valves are located at Trammel-Davis along Greenbelt Rd. and the south side of the Trinity River at Greenbelt Rd. Air release valves are located near the 16" water main near station 10+19, 500' north of Trammel-Davis Rd. along Greenbelt Rd. and north side of the Trinity River at Greenbelt Rd. 4. The Contractor shall prefabricate proposed valve, manhole and connection components prior to excavation at all connection locations. 5. The Contractor shall install the connection, valves and blocking. 6. Care shall be given to excavating or removing material near the existing water mains. Existing pipes shall be blocked at all times. Contact the City Inspector who will contact Field Operations when valves need to be opened or closed for construction activities.

The unit price bid under the appropriate bid item of the proposal shall cover all cost for providing pavement repair equal to or superior in composition, thickness, etc., to existing pavement as detailed in the Public Works Department typical sections for Pavement and Trench Repair for .. Utility Cuts, Figures 2000-1 through 2000-3. The results of the street cores that were conducted on the project streets, to determine HMAC depths on existing streets, are provided in these specifications and contract documents. All required paving cuts shall be made with a concrete saw in a true and straight line on both _ sides of the trench, a minimum of twelve (12) inches outside the trench walls. The trench shall be backfilled and the top nine (9) inches shall be filled with required materials as shown on paving details, compacted and level with the finished street surface. This finished grade shall be maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. All residential driveways shall be accessible at night and over weekends. It has been determined by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the strip of existing HMAC pavement between the existing gutter and the edge of the trench pavement repair will not hold up if such strip of existing pavement is two (2)feet or less in width. Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is three (3)feet or less from the lip of the existing gutter, the Contractor shall be required to remove the existing paving to such gutter. The pavement repair shall then be made from a minimum distance of twelve (12) inches .. outside the trench wall nearest the center of the street to the gutter line. The pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days, providing job .. placement conditions will permit repaving. If paving conditions are not suitable for repaving, in the opinion of the Owner, the repaving shall be done at the earliest possible date. A permit must be obtained from the Department of Engineering Construction Services Section by the Contractor in conformance with Ordinance No. 3449 and/or Ordinance No. 792 to make utility cuts in the street. The Department of Engineering will inspect the paving repair after construction. This permit requirement may be waived if work is being done under a Performance Bond and inspected by the Department of Engineering. D-26 SITE SPECIFIC TRENCH SAFETY SYSTEM (COVERS ALL PROJECTS) ..

It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M. This specification will establish procedures to be used by all Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with NESHAP. Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a_ 10/27/04 SC--49 w s+ PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more .. stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non-friable material in its intact state but "' which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently, if the removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable, it is regulated under the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 61.150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas .. Department of Health. The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of the material. If it remains in its non - friable state, as defined by the NESHAP, it can be disposed as a conventional construction waste. The Environmental Protection Agency .0 (EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressures. .. C. The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper handling, transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable .s or not. D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable. The Excavator is OR responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this result. am E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs, which are the .n responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached) F. The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe ,. unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents. D-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER THAN 1 ACRE) PERMIT: As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction ..

Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35 degree F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor when the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures before final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of riprap shall be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately 10 feet in width, commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be permitted to flow on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately 1 110tio4 ASC-20 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS after dumping the batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by the use of brooms and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades, trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hours.

If pressure is used to apply grout, verify the maximum allowable +� pressure with the carrier pipe manufacturer, and do not exceed this pressure. C. FREE-AIR SYSTEM If required by OSHA standards, free-air systems shall be installed and maintained. D. INSTALLATION OF PRESSURE GROUT MIX 1. Install pressure grout mix in the void space between the outside of the casing pipe or tunnel liner and the excavation. For bore or jacks with casing pipe, install pressure grout mix immediately upon completion of setting casing pipe. For tunnel liner plate, install pressure grout mix at the end of each work day or more often as conditions warrant. ' 2. Unless specified otherwise, install pressure grouting through grout fittings for the casing pipe or tunnel liner plate 48" in diameter or larger. Grout fittings shall be fabricated into casing pipe and tunnel liner plate at a maximum spacing of 6'. Remove and plug grout fittings after pressure grouting. 3. Install pressure grout from the low end for all crossings where grout fittings are not used. Seal the low end and pressure grout until grout is extruded from the �. opposite end. 3.02 CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY BORING A. Perform the boring from the low or downstream end unless specified otherwise. Bore the holes mechanically and use a pilot hole. By this method, an approximate 2" pilot hole shall be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and grade. This pilot hole shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Place excavated material near the top of the working pit and dispose of material as required. The use of water or other fluids in r connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to the extent to lubricate cuttings. Jetting shall not be permitted. 11102104 ASC-35 PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS -- B. In unconsolidated soil formations, a gel-forming colloidal drilling fluid consisting of at least 10% of high grade carefully processed bentonite may be used to .. consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the pipe immediately thereafter. C. In locations where the soil formation is other than consolidated rock, insert the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation. This requirement applies to all bored holes of 18" or greater in diameter. For smaller diameter bored holes, it is desirable that the casing be installed as the boring progresses, but because of MM differences in soil formations, the time for inserting the casing shall be the Contractor's responsibility. In the event that caving sand or water bearing materials are encountered, insert the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring r operation regardless of the diameter of the bored hole. In all cases, the security and integrity of the roadway is the primary concern. The Contractor shall be held fully responsible for the continued integrity of the structure of the roadway being i crossed, whether or not a casing pipe is inserted simultaneously with the boring operation. .. 3.03 CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY TUNNELING AND JACKING A. Jack the pipe from the low or downstream end, unless specified otherwise. Provide heavy duty jacks suitable for forcing the pipe through the embankment. In operating "r jacks, apply even pressure to the jacks used. Provide a suitable jacking head and bracing between jacks so that pressure will be applied to the pipe uniformly around the ring of the pipe. Provide a suitable jacking frame or back stop. Set the pipe to be jacked on guides, properly braced together, to support the section of the pipe and to direct it in the proper line and grade. Place the whole jacking assembly so as to line up with the direction and grade of the pipe. In general, excavate embankment .. material just ahead of the pipe and material removed through the pipe. Force the pipe through the embankment with jacks into the space provided. B. The excavation for the underside of the pipe, for at least 1/3 of the circumference of the pipe, shall conform to the contour and grade of the pipe. Provide a clearance of not more than 2" for the upper half of the pipe. This clearance shall be tapered off to zero at the point where the excavation conforms to the contour of the pipe. Extend the distance of the excavation beyond the end of the pipe depending on the character of the material, but do not exceed 2' in any case. Decrease the distance if the character of the material being excavated makes it desirable to keep the advance excavation r closer to the end of the pipe. C. If desired, use a cutting edge of steel plate around the head end of the pipe extending ` a short distance beyond the end of the pipe with inside angles or lugs to keep the cutting edge from slipping back onto pipe. D. When jacking of pipe has begun, carry on the operation without interruption to prevent the pipe from becoming firmly set in the embankment. Remove and replace any pipe damaged in the jacking operations. The Contractor shall absorb the entire expense. -� 3.04 CROSSINGS INSTALLED WITH TUNNEL LINER PLATE 11102104 ASC-36 i PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS A.
