It is understood that the partial estimate from month to month will be approximate only, and all partial monthly estimates I and payment will be subject to correction in the estimate rendered following the discovery of an error in any previous estimate,and such estimate shall not, in any respect, be taken as an admission of the Owner of the amount of work done or of its quality of sufficiency, or as an acceptance of the work done or the release of the Contractor of any of his responsibilities under the Contract Documents. The City reserves the right to withhold the payment of any monthly estimate if the contractor fails to perform the work strictly in accordance with the specifications or provisions of this contract. C8-8.6 WITHHOLDING PAYMENT: Payment on any estimate or estimates may be held in abeyance if the performance of the construction operations is not in accordance with the I requirements of the Contract Documents.

GENERAL: 0 0 a 0 0 0 U. 0 0 0 a 0 0 0 0 02/11/98 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 to install a new polyethylene pipe -and reconnect existing sewer service connections. 2. Methods: This section 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 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS for information regarding pre -approval procedures for alternative processes. 3. 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 methods 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 the "knife" may, be aided by the use of hydraulic equipment or other apparatus, as specified in the approved methods. The replacement pipe is either pulled or pushed into the bore. The method allows for replacement of pipe sizes from 8" 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 Fort 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.

The flow of sewage present in the sewer lines shall be utilized to provide necessary fluid for hydraulic cleaning devices whenever possible. 2. CLEANING PROCEDURES: The designated sewer manholes shall be cleaned using high -velocity jet equipment. The equipment shall be capable of removing dirt, grease, rocks, sand, and other materials and obstructions from the sewer lines and manholes. If cleaning of an entire section cannot be successfully performed from one manhole, the equipment shall be set up on the other manhole and cleaning again attempted. If, again, successful cleaning cannot be performed or equipment fails to traverse the entire manhole section, it will be assumed that a major blockage exists, and the cleaning effort shall be abandoned. When additional quantities of water from fire hydrants is necessary to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used 02110/99 SC -31 0 PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS unnecessarily.
