Upon receipt of such ten (10)-day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other spec ial protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad , Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity . If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor, Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing . If Ra ilroad performs any flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.

When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collect ive bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman.

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 contract or other law, ordinance , regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category 11, 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 rema ins 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 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 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 responsible to employ those means , methods, techniques and sequences to ensure th is result. E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations includ i ng but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator.

The test station lead wires are deemed acceptable if the measured resistance is equal to or less than 120% of the theoretical resistance . a. A test lead that is found to have an actual resistance greater .120% of the theoretical measurement shall be replaced at no additional cost to the Owner. B. Pipeline Continuity Tests 1. The Design Enginee r will perform a pipeline continuity test between test stations after determining that the test lead w ires at each test station have passed the preceding test. The tests will consist of measuring the resistance between the two test points and comparing the actual resistance with the theoretical resistance. The pipeline segment is electrically continuous if the measured resistance is equal to or less than 110% of the theoretical resistance . a . Any segment of the pipeline that fails to show adequate electrical continuity shall be repaired by locating the cause or causes of poor continuity , excavation , and repair at no additional cost to the Owner. C. Potential Survey Tests DOE 5241 1. A pipe-to-soil potential survey shall be performed after electrical continuity has been verified . a. The survey shall consist of base line or "Off' pipe-to-soil potentials measured at each test station lead wire in conjunction with the stationary reference electrode installed at that location . b . After the initial survey, the anode collector cables shall be connected to one of the structure lead wires at each of the Type I test stations . When all anode ground beds have been energized , the "On " pipe-to-soil potentials shall be measured at each of the test stations using both the stationary reference electrode (SRE) and a portable reference electrode 13110 -13 July 2006 CITY OF FORT WORTH Water Project No. P264-06214-00357-83 DOE 5241 Water Main Relocation Along U.S Hwy 377 (PRE), and the current output of each ground bed recorded. c. Two weeks after the system has been energized, a polarized pipe-to-soil potential survey will be made. The "On" pipe-to-soil potentials will be measured using both the SRE and the PRE. The SRE potential drift over time will be corrected to a calibrated PRE. d. The system is protected if all pipe-to-soil potentials measure at least a negative 850 millivolts to the corrected stationary reference electrode installed at each of the test stations. e. Bar-wrapped concrete pipe may take considerably longer than two weeks to polarize to protected potentials, therefore additional surveys may be required. 3 . 7 TEST STATION LOCATIONS A.
