decided by the Engineer.. The City Inspector will not,
however, be authorized to revoke, alter, enlarge, or release
any requirement of these Contract Documents, nor to approve or
accept any portion or section of the work, nor to issue any
instructions contrary to the reguirements of the Contract
Documents. He will in no case act as superintendent or
foreman or perform any other duties for the Contractor, or
interfere with the management or operation of the work. He
will not accept from the Contractor any compensation in any
form for performing any duties. The Contractor shall regard
and obey the directions and instructions of the City Inspector
or Engineer when the same are consistent with the obligations
of the Contract Documents, provided, however, should the
Contractor object to any orders or instructions of the City
Inspector, the Contractor may within six days make written
appeal to the Engineer for his decision on the matter in

C. DEFINITIONS:
1. 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.
2. BENCHING SYSTEM - Benching means excavating the sides of a trench to form one or a
series of horizontal level or steps, usually with vertical or near-vertical surfaces between
levels.
3. SLOPING SYSTEM - Sloping mean`s excavating to form sides of a trench that are inclined
away from the excavation.
4. SHIELD SYSTEM - Shields used in trenches are generally referred to as "trench boxes"
or "trench shields". Shield means a structure that is able to 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 move along as the work progresses.
Shields can be either pre-manufactured or job-built in accordance with OSHA standards. �
5. SHORING SYSTEM - Shoring means a structure such as a metal hydraulic, mechanical
or timer system that supports the sides of a trench and which is designed to prevent cave-
ins. Shoring systems are generally comprised of cross-braces, vertical rails, �(uprights),
horizontal rails (wales) and/or shee�ing.
D. 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 �han five (5) feet.

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 successfufty performed from one manhole, the
equipment shall be set� up on the other manhole and cleaning again attempted. If, again,
successful cleaning cannot be pertormed 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 fi�e hydrants is necessary
to avoid delay in normal working procedures, the water shall be conserved and not used
unnecessarily. No fire hydrant shall be obstructed in case of a fire in the �rea served by
the hydrant. Before using any water from the C�ty Water Distribution System, the

2. Methods: This section specifies the approyed 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 Part D�- SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-61�
SIBSTITUTIONS 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.�tatic, 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.

AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete °mixer in the manner specified for
concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a
mixture having a consistency si�ch as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the
riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the
work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be
permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35
degree F. or above 95,degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor
when the grout, without speeial protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing
temperatures before final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all sucFaces of riprap shall
be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately
10 feet in width, commencing at the lowest strip and working up the slope, Grout shall
be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in no case will grout be
permitted to flow on the riprapped surFace a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately
after �umping the batch of grout, it shall be distributed over the surface of the strip by
the use of brooms and the groufiworked into place between stones with suitable spades,
trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from
the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of
the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load
shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a' period of at least 24 hours. The grouted
surFace shall be protected from°erain, flowing water, and mechanical injury. The surface
of all grouted riprap shall be cu"red by keeping the surface contiriuously wet for a period
of not less than 7 days.

of obstructions, depressions, debris, and soft or low density pockets of material.
Erosion features such as rills, gullies, etc. must be graded out of the surFace before
geotextile placement. The geotextile shall be placed with the long dimension
perpendicular to the centerline of the channel and laid smooth and fr�e of #ension,
stress, folds, wrinkles, or creases. The strips shall be placed to provide a minimum
width of 24-inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help
hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as
the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of
material on the geotextile. The specified placement procedure requires that the length
of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust
the acival length of the geotextile used based on initial installation experience. The
geotextile shall be protected at all times during construction from contamination' by
surface runoff and.any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with
uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during
placement,of riprap shall be replaced by the Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The
work shall be scheduled so that the covering of the geotextile with a layer of the
specified material is accomplishe��within seven (7) calendar day,� after placement of
the geotextile. Failure to comply shall require replacement of geotextile. The
geotextile shall be protected from darnage prior to and during the placement of rock
riprap. Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the
placement technique will prevent damage to the geotextile. In no case shall any type
of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile.
3. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed on the filter fabric blanket in
such a manner as to produce a reasonably well graded mass of rock with the
minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified
tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. •Then intent of these
specifications is to require placement of riprap to the thickness shown and to allow
isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed
to its full course thickness at one operation and ir� such a manner as to avoid
displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass of
stones in their final position�shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore. The
finished riprap shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of
larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones throughout the
mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other
source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing, or by other
methods of placement which will prod�xce the specified results. Rearranging of
individual stones, by mechanical equipment or by hand will be req,uired to the extent
necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded distribution of stone specified above.
The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted. Any material
displaced by any cause shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and grades shown
on the Drawings.
. 4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air-entraining
admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of
sand, sufficient water to produce a workable mixture, and that amount of admixture
which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, as determined by the
ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE
