attempt to secure deliv�ry on schedule. This shall include
efforts to obtain t'ne supplies and materials from alternate

presented by the Contractor to the Ez�gineer and if by him
found correct shall be approved and reFerred by him to the
Council for final approval or disapproval; and the action
thereon by the Council shall b� final and binding. If delay
is caused by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
of the City to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work, then such delay wi11 entitle the
Contractor to an equivale�nt extension of time, his application
for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the
City Council; and no such extension of time sha11 rPlease the
Contractor or the surety on his performance bond from all his
obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until

such strip of existing pavemen� is two (2) feet or less in width. *b
Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is tl�ee (3) feet or less from the lip of the
existing gutter, the Contractor��hall be required to remove the existuig paving to such gutter. The pavement
repair shall then be made from a minimum distance of twelve (12)��inches outside the trench wall nearest

D-16 Trench Safetv Svstem:
1. GENERAL: This specification covers the trench safety requirements for all trench excavations in order
to protect workers from cave-ins. The requirements of this item govern all trenches for mains, manholes,
vaults, service lines, and all other appurtenances.
2. STANDARDS: The latest version of the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safery 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 aze 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.
B. BENCHING SYSTEM: Benching means excavating the sides of a trench to form one or a series of
horizontal levels or steps, usually with vertical°or neaz-vertical surfaces between levels.
C. SLOPING SYSTEM: Sloping means excavating to form sides of a trench that are inclined away from
the excavation. � " � " "
D. SHIELD SYST'EM: 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 premanufactured or job built in accordance
with OSHA standards.

I�J
C�
LJ'
�
E. SHORING SYSTEM: Shoring means a structure such as a metal hydraulic, 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) 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 f,or the installation and removal of trench safety systems.

flattop section shall be installed.
E. Joint surfaces between the frame, adjustment rings, and cone section shall be free of dirt, stones, debris,
and voids to ensure a watertight seal. Place a flexible gasket joint material in two concentric rings along
the inside and outside edge of each joint, or use trowelable material in lieu of preformed gasket material.
Position the butt joint for each length of joint material on opposite sides of the manhole. No steel shims,
wood, stones, or any material not specifically accepted by the Engineer may be used to obtain fmal surface
elevation of the manhole frame.
F. In paved areas or future paved areas, castings shall be installed by using a straight edge not less than ten
� (10) feet long so that the top of casting will conform to the slope and

report from an independent testing laboratory and must include repr sentative samples of soils in all
�'9 involved areas, with a map sho�ing the location and depth of the v ious test holes. If excavated material
�� is obviously granular in nature, containing little or no plastic materia , the Engineer may waive the test

��
Trenches which lie und'"er existing or future pavement shall be bacl�lled per Figure A with 95% Standard
Proctor Density by jetting, me�hanical tamping, or a combination Q�f inethods. Backfill material to be
