TRENCH COMPACTION: All trench backfill shall be placed in lifts per E2-2.9 Backfill. Trenches which lie outside existing or future pavements shall be compacted to a minimum of 90% Standard Proctor Density (A.S.T.M. D698) by means of tamping only. Trenches which lie under existing or future pavement shall be backfilled per Figure A with 95% Standard Proctor Density by jetting, mechanical tamping, or a combination of methods. Backfill material to be mechanically tamped must be within +-4% of its optimum moisture content. The top two (2) feet of sewer line trenches and the top eighteen (18) inches of water line may be rolled in with heavy equipment tires, provided it is placed in lifts appropriate to the material being used and the operation can be performed without damage to the installed pipe. The Contractor shall obtain the services of an independent testing laboratory to perform trench compaction tests per A.S.T.M. standards on all trench backfill. Any retesting required as a result of failure to compact the backfill material to meet the standards will be at the expense of the Contractor and will be billed at the commercial rates as determined by the City. These soil density tests shall be performed at two (2) foot vertical intervals beginning at a level two (2) feet above the top of the installed pipe and continuing to the top of the completed backfill at intervals along the trench not to exceed 300 linear feet. The Contractor will be responsible for providing access and trench safety system to the level of trench backfill to be tested. No extra compensation will be allowed for exposing the backfill layer to be tested or providing trench safety system for tests conducted by the City. 4.
