City Inspectors will inspect the paving repair after construction of each water and/or sanitary sewer main replacement. Specific to this project will be the requirement that the saw cutting of the pavement through the concrete base be done before the trench is excavated. The void left by the removal of the brick pavers shall be replaced with H.M.A.C. pavement. D-14 Trench Safety System: 1. GENERAL: This specification covers the trench safety requirements for all trench excavations in order to protect workers from cave-ins.

STANDARDS: The latest version of the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards, 29 CFR Part 1926, Subpart,P-Excavations, are hereby made a part of this specification and shall be the minimum governing requirements for trench safety. 3. DEFINITIONS: A. TRENCHES: A trench is referred to as a narrow excavation made below the surface of the ground in which the depth is greater than the width, where the width measured at the bottom is not greater than fifteen (15) feet. If forms or other structures are installed or constructed in an excavation so as to reduce the dimension measured from the forms or structure to the side of the excavation to fifteen (15) feet or less at the bottom of the excavation, the excavation is also considered to be a trench.

SLOPING SYSTEM: Sloping means excavating to form sides of a trench that are inclined away from the excavation. 0 D. SHIELD SYSTEM: Shields used in trenches are generally referred to as "trench boxes!' -or "trench shields." Shield means a structure thatis_able tg withstand the forces ^ _ imposed on it by a cave-in -and. protect workers within the structure. Shields can be permanent structures or can be designed to be portable and movealong as the work fl progresses. Shields can be either premanufactured or job -built in accordance"with OSHA standards. fl E. SHORING SYSTEM: Shoring means a structure such as a metal hydraulic, U mechanical or timber system that supports the sides of a trench and which is designed to prevent cave-ins. Shoring systems are generally comprised of crossbraces, vertical rails (uprights), horizontal rails (wales) and/or sheeting. 4. MEASUREMENT: Trench depth is the vertical measurement from the top of the existing ground to the bottom of the pipe or structures. The quantity of trench safety systems shall be based on the linear foot amount of trench depth greater than five (5) a feet. 5. PAYMENT: Separate payment will be made only when trench excavations exceed a depth of five (5) feet and shall be full compensation for safety system design, labor, tools, materials, equipment and incidentals necessary for the installation"and removal of trench safety systems.
