suitable materials or equipment, failure to adhere to the Project Schedule established under
Paragraph 2.07 as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Paragraph 6.04, or failure to adhere

perform the construction Contract, the City may, to the extent permitted by Laws and

complete the Contract. Contractor default shall not be declared earlier than 20 days after the

not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.

begins within seven days of receipt of notice of intent to terminate to correct its failure to
perform and proceeds diligently to cure such failure within no more than 30 days of receipt of

D. Where Contractor's services have been so terminated by City, the termination will not affect any
rights or remedies of City against Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any
retention or payment of moneys due Contractor by City will not release Contractor from liability.
E. If and to the extent that Contractor has provided a performance bond under the provisions of

details and at locations shown on the drawings or as designated by Inspector. All swing
joints shall be fitted with Schedule 80 nipples and Schedule 40 threaded elbows. Street
ells are not to be used.
3.8 DRIPPER LINE:
A. Dripperline Installation:
1. Techline is designed for use in surface and sub-surface applications
utilizing a grid design, the result being a complete wetted area within the
grid. it can also be installed as a single or"snaked"lines where grids are
not justified. The most uniform way to install Techline is sub-surface
at a uniform depth as specified.
2. Techline is available in dripper flow rates of 0.61 gallons per hour(gph)
and 0.92 gallons per hour(gph)with drippers spaced at 12 inch, 18 inch
or 24 inch intervals.The drippers are designed to regulate flow at the
specified output from 7 psi to 70 psi with maximum recommended
pressure of 45 psi when using unclamped Techline insert fittings.
3. The choice of dripper spacing, Techline lateral spacing and depth is
dependent on the soil type and plants being used. The following chart
gives spacing recommendations for both turf and landscape applications

LANDSCAPE IRRIGATON SYSTEM
Page 14 of 16
to ensure the integrity of the connection. Techline dripperline has an ID
of 0.57", or 17 mm, which differs from most other polyethylene tubing
dimensions and improperly sized fittings will cause leaks.
5. Techline can be installed by:
a. Trenching,
b. Laying it out on a sub-grade lower than finished grade and
backfilling to the specified grade depth,
C. Vibratory plow, or Surface installation using Techline staples
(TLS6)to hold it in place along with a four(4)to six(6)inch
shredded bark mulch cover.
B. Drip Tubing: Install all drip tubing as detailed on drawings or specifications.
Use only Teflon tape on all threaded connections.
3.9 SLEEVES:
A. All pipe installed under hard surfaced walks. service roads etc., must be in Sch.40 PVC
sleeves and must be of sufficient size to easily accept the designed size pipe. A separate
sleeve may be provided for the electrical wires. It must also be of Sch 40 PVC and of
sufficient size to easily accept the required amount of materials as designed.
3.10 ISOLATION VALVES:
A. Gate valves must be installed as shown on plan and as recommended by the
manufacturer and be placed in suitable valve boxes of proper size for easy access to the
valve.
3.11 TRENCH EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL:
A. The Contractor shall perform all excavation to the depth indicated in these specifications
and drawings.All excavated materials not required for fill or backfill shall be removed and
wasted as directed by the inspector. The banks of trenches shall be kept as nearly vertical
as practicable. Trenches shall be wide enough to permit proper placing of pipe.Where
rock excavation is required,or where stones are encountered in the bottom of the trench
that would create a concentrated pressure on the pipe, the rock or stones shall be
removed to a depth of 4"minimum below the trench depth indicated.The over depth rock
excavation and all excess trench excavation shall be backfilled with loose, moist earth or
sand, thoroughly tamped. Whenever wet or otherwise unstable soil that is incapable of
supporting the pipe is encountered in the trench bottom, such soil shall be removed to a
depth and length required and the trench backfilled to trench bottom grade as hereinafter
specified,with coarse sand,fine gravel or other suitable material.
B. Bottom of trench grade shall be continued past ground surface deviations to avoid air
pockets and low collection points in line.The minimum cover specifications shall govern
regardless of variations in ground surface profile and the occasional deeper excavation
required at banks and other field conditions. Excavation shall be such that a uniform
trench grade variation will occur in all cases where variations are necessary. In no case
shall the angle of deflection from one pipe length to another exceed 5 degrees.
C. Trench excavation shall comprise the satisfactory removal and disposition of all materials,
and shall include all shoring and sheeting required to protect the excavation and to
safeguard employees.
D. During excavation materials suitable for backfilling shall be stockpiled in an orderly
manner a sufficient distance back from edge of trenches to avoid overloading and prevent
slides or cave-ins.
Section 32-90-10
LANDSCAPE IRRIGATON SYSTEM
Page 15 of 16
E. The trenches shall be carefully backfilled with the excavated materials approved for
backfilling, consisting of earth, loam, sandy clay, sand or other approved materials,free
from large clods of earth or stone. Rock, broken concrete or pavement and large boulders
shall not be used as backfill material.The backfill shall be thoroughly compacted and
evened off with the adjacent soil level. Any materials not suitable for backfill shall be
removed from the site and disposed of.
F. Selected fill dirt or sand shall be used if soil conditions are rocky. In rocky areas the
trenching depth shall be four inches below normal trench depths to allow for this bedding.
The fill dirt or sand shall be used in filling four inches above the pipe or wires.The
remainder of the backfill shall contain no lumps or rocks larger than one inch.The top six
inches of backfill shall be free of rocks, subsoil or trash.
G. Backfill shall be placed in layers; the thickness of the layers shall depend on the nature of
the material and the method of compaction used. Compaction shall be accomplished in
such a manner as to assure that there will be no future subsidence.
H. Any trenches improperly backfilled, or where settlement occurs, shall be reopened to the
depth required for compaction, then refilled and compacted with the surface restored to
the required grade and left in a completed surface condition as described above.
I. All excavation and backfill shall be unclassified and covered in the basic bid. No
additional fees will be allowed for rock encountered.
3.12 LEAK TEST:
A. When the main line or sections of the main line, laterals, swing joints, quick couplers and
valves have been installed,the system (or section)will be thoroughly flushed.The system
(or section)will then be pressurized during a 24 hour period to the operating pressure.
B. Any leakage found will be repaired and retested for another 24 hour period before any
backfilling occurs.This procedure shall be repeated until all leaks are eliminated.
3.13 CLEANING AND FLUSHING SYSTEM:
A. After pipe,fittings, and valves have been installed and connections made to the water
source,flush pipes several times until free of all rocks, dirt, trash, pipe shavings or debris
before installing heads.After the pipe has been thoroughly flushed start installing the
dripper tubing, flush valves, air/vacuum release valves, etc. After the heads have been
installed, the system is to be used several times before final inspection.The dripper zones
shall flushed as many times as necessary to remove all debris before final inspection.
3.14 CLEANUP:
A. The Contractor shall make final cleanup of all parts of the work before final acceptance.
This cleanup shall include removal of all construction materials and equipment, and in
general preparing the site in an orderly and finished appearance.
A. The Contractor shall also remove fro the site any rock or extra dirt that resulted from this
contract and he shall restore the site to its original condition.
