Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a 10121104 SC-49 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 rnay become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal.

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 (EPA) defines friable as material, when dry, which may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by han9 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 or not. D.

DA-2 PIPELINE REHABI.LITATION CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE (OMIT) DA-3 PIPE ENLARGEMENT SYSTEM A. GENERAL: 1. 2. 3. 11/02/04 Description: This specification includes requirements to rehabilitate existing sanitary sewers by the pipe enlargement system, herein called Pipe Bursting or . Pipe Crushing (Pipe Bursting/Crushing). This system includes splitting or bursting the existing pipe t o install a new polyethylene pipe and reconnect existing ·sewer service connections. Methods: This sectioh specifies the approved system method or process to include all labor, materials, tools, equipment and incidentals necessary to provide for the complete rehabilitation of deteriorated gravity sewer . lines by the · Pipe Bursting/Crushing systems. Approved methods include: the PIM Corporation (PIM System), Piscata Way, New Jersey; McLat Construction (McConnell System for Pipe Crushing), Houston, Texas; and Trenchless Replacement Systems, (TRS System), Calgary, Canada. Refer to Part D -SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-34 SIBSTITUTIONS for information regarding pre-approval procedures for alternative processes. Definition: The Pipe Bursting/Crushing system is defined as the reconstruction of · gravity sewer pipe by installing an approved pipe material, by means of one of the pre-approved met hods set forth in Section A.2 of this specification. The process involves the use of a static, hydraulic or pneumatic hammer "moling" device, suitably sized to break out the old pipe or using modified boring "knife" with a flared plug that implodes and crushes the existing sewer pipe. Forward progress of the "mole'' or t he "knife" may be aided by the use of hydraulic equipment or other apparatus, as specified in the approved methods . The replacement pipe is ASC-4 ' L 11/02104 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS either pulled or pushed into the bore. The method allows for replacement of pipe sizes from 811 through 21" and/or upsizing in varying increments up to 21". This specification is · based on the precedent that the Pipe Bursting/Crushing system used has been pre-approved by the City of Foi1 Worth Department of Engineering, and Fort Worth Water Department. 4. Quality Assurance: The Contractor shall be certified by the particular Pipe Bursting/Crushing system manufacturer that such firm is a licensed installer of their system. No other Pipe Bursting/Crushing system other than those listed in Section A.2. of these specifications is acceptable. a. Personnel directly involved with installing the new pipe shall receive training in the proper methods for joint fusing, handling, and installing the polyethylene pipe. Training shall be performed by a qualified representative as determined by the pipe manufacturer. b. Personnel directly involved with installing the new pipe shall receive training in the proper methods for joint fusing, handling, and installing the polyethylene pipe. Training shall be performed by a qualified representative as determined by the pipe manufacturer. 5. Submittals: Submit for review and acceptance, the following Contractor's Work Plan and Drawings to the Department of Engineering (DOE): a. Shop drawings, catalog data, and manufacturer's technical data showing complete information on material composition, physical properties, and dimensions of new pipe · and .fittings. Include manufacturer's recommendation for handling, storage, and repair of pipe. and fittings if damaged. b. Location and number of insertion or access pits shall be planned by Contractor and submitted in writing prior to excavation for approval by DOE. c. Method of construction and restoration of existing sewer service connections. This shall include: 1) . 2) 3) Detail drawings and written description of the entire · construction procedure to install pipe, bypass sewage flow and reconnection of sewer service connections. Working drawings for information only showing sewage flow bypass, and . maintenance of traffic. Contractor shall provide for continuous sewerage flow. Dewatering shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Certification of workmen training for installing pipe. ASC-5 , PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS 4) Tel_evislon inspection reports and video tapes made after new pipe installation. 6. Delivery, Storage, and Handling: a. Transport, handle, and store pipe and fittings as recommended by . manufacturer. b. If new pipe and fittings become damaged before or during ·installation, it shall be repaired as recommended by the manufacturer or replaced as required by the Project Manager. at the Contractor's expense, before proceeding further. · c. Deliver, store and handle other materials as required to prevent damage. B. MATERIALS:· 11/02/04 1. Polyethylene Piping Material: The pipe and fitting material shall be high density, extra molecular weight (EHMW} polyethylene pipe material conforming to ASTM D1248, Type 111. Class -C,-Category 5i Grade P34, -and have a PPI (Plastic Pipe Institute) recommended designation of PE3408 and cell classification 345434C per ASTM D3350. The molecular weight category shall be extra high (2501000 to 1,500,000) as per the Gel Permeation Chromatography determination procedure with a typical value of 330,000. a. The interior of the pipe shall be a light reflective color to facilitate closed circuit telev ision inspection. · .. b. The pipe material shall be listed by the Plastic Pipe Institute (PPI) in PPI TR-4. The pipe· material shall have as hydrostatic design basis of 1600 psi at 73 F and 800 psi at 140 F. c. The manufacturer's certification shall state that the pipe was manufactured from one specific resin and shall state the resin used and its source. All pipe shall be made of virgin mc1terial. No rework, except that obtained from the manufacturer's own production of the same formulation, shall be used. d. Pipe supplied under this specification shall have a nominal Ductile Iron Pipe Size inside diameter. The Standar_sj Dimension Ratio {SDR} and minimum pressure rating of the pipe shall be SDR 17 -100 psi. Pipe with a lower SDR ratio and higher pressttre rating may be used in lieu of the minimum specified .. 2. Tests: The Contractor shall be required to send submittals to the City of Fort Worth on the production material. a. The pipe manufacturer shall provide certification that samples of the production product meets these specifications. The certification will state that production product has been tested in accordance with ASTM D2837, and validated in accordance with the latest revision of PPI TR-3. ASC-6 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS b. The pipe manufacturer shall provide certification . that stress regression testing has been performed on the specific product. Certification shall include a stress life curve per ASTM D2837 and testing shall have been performed in accordance with ASTM D2~37. c. Rejection: Polyethylene plastic pipe and fittings may be rejected for failure to meet any of the requirements of this specification. C. SEWER SERVICE CONNECTIONS: 1. Sewer Service Connections: Sewer service connections shall be connected to the new pipe by mechanical or fusion methods. Once the saddle is secured, a hole shall be drilled in the pipe the full inside diameter of saddle outlet. 2. Pipe Saddles: Mechanical saddle$ shall be made of polyethylene pipe compound that meets the requirements of ASTM D1248, Class C, have stainless steel straps and fasteners, neoprene gasket and backup plate. Mechanical saddles shall be · Strap-on-Saddle Type as manufactured by Driscopipe or Tapping Saddle manufactured by DuPont, or approved equal.
