DA-1 PIPELINE REHABILITATION CURED-IN-PLACE PIPE:
A. WORK TO BE DONE: The work to be done under this contract consists of rehabilitation
of existing sewer lines by the Cure-in-Place Pipe Method or approved equal. Cured-in-
place pipe consists of a resin impregnated flexible tube, coated with an elastomeric
coating, when inverted into an existing sewer pipe through existing access manholes, and
which, under proper hydrostatic and thermal conditions, is cured-in-place, becoming a
structurally sound cured-in-place pipe. The thickness of the pipe will be dictated by the
structural requirements of the sewer pipe with no loss of cross sectional area other than
the thickness of the resin-impregnated tube. The pipe will be impermeable to water,
provide corrosion resistance, and an optimum friction factor for the sewer flow. Branch
connections shall be reinstated by a remote controlled cutting device.
The work consists of providing all labor, equipment, transportation, matersafs, and
supervision necessary to :
1. Thoroughly clean sewers as required for the installation of the resin-impregnated
tube.
2. Inspect sewers by closed circuit color television (CCTV), including identifying and
marking the location of each service connection. Cost subssdiary to Pre-
Construction TV Inspection.
3. Notify residents at least 48 hours prior to service interruption.
4. Install the resin-impregnated tube of the correct thickness as specified.
5. Cut out all service connections by remote cutters and restore service within
18 hours.
6. Reinspect by CCN to verify satisfactory completion of work at time of lateral
reinstatement. Cost subsidiary to Post-Construction N Inspection.
7. Pump around all dry and wet weather flows to accommodate the process at each
separate installation, as required.

because of the orientation of the sewer, the Department of Engineering shall
institute the actions necessary to do this for the mutually agreed upon time period.
3. Before using any water from the City of Fort Worth, the Contractor shall be
responsible for the water meter and related charges for the set up, including the
water usage bill. All expenses shall be considered incidental to cleaning.
4. Cleaning of Sewer Line - It shali be the responsibility of the Contractor to remove
all internal debris out of the sewer iines and flush the sewer lines clean, disposing
of debris off-site. Debris is not to be washed downstream into other sewers. All
solids or semisolids resulting from the cleaning operations shall be removed from
the site and disposed of at no additional cost to the City. ft is the responsibiiity of
the Contractor to secure a legal dump site for the disposal of this material. All
materials shall be removed from the site no less often than at the end of each work
day. All cost for the above-described work shall be paid for by the price bid per
finear foot for Cleaning and Television Inspection.
5. Inspection of Pipelines - Inspection of pipelines shall be performed by experienced
personnel trained in locating breaks, obstacles, and service connections by closed
circuit color television. Television inspection shall be in accordance with the
specifications contained herewith for "Pre- and Post-Construction Television
Inspection of Sanitary Sewer Lines".
E. INSTALLATION OF THE RESIN IMPREGNATED TUBE:
The Contractor shall designate a location where the uncured resin in the original
containers and the unimpregnated fiber-felt tube will be vacuum impregnated prior
to installation. The Contractor shall allow the Owner to inspect the materials and
"wet-ouY' procedure. A resin and catalyst system compatible with requirements of
this method shall be used. The quantities of the fiquid thermosetting materials
shall be per manufacturer's standards to provide the wall thickness specified. All
felt shall be impregnated under vacuum.
2. The wet-out fiber felt tube shall be installed through an existing manhole or othe�
approved access by means of an inversion process and the application of a
hydrostatic head sufficient to fulfy extend it to the next designated manhole. The
impregnated tube shall generally be inserted into the vertical inversion standpipe
with the impermeable plastic membrane side out. At the lower end of the rnversion
standpipe, the felt tube shall be turned inside out and attached to the standpipe so
that a leak-proaf seal is created. The inversion head will be adjusted to be of
sufficient height to cause the impregnated tube to invert from manhole to manhole
and hold the tube tight to the pipe wall and produce dimples at the side
connections. A lubricant, if used, shall be as approved by manufacturer's
standards. Manufacturer's standards shall be closely followed during the elevated
temperature curing so as not to over-stress the felt fiber and cause damage or
failure prior to cure. In certain cases, the Contractor may elect to use a tap
inversion.

PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS (WATER DEPT.)
3. Curing: After inversion is complete, the Cont�actor shall supply a suitable heat
source and water or steam recirculation equipment. The equipment shall be
capable of delivering hot water or steam throughout the section by means of a pre-
strung hose, which has been perforated per manufacturer's recommendations, to
uniformly raise the water temperature above the temperature required to effect a
cure of the ressn. This temperature shall be determined by the resin/catalyst
system employed and shall be per manufacturer's standards.
4. The heat source shall be fitted with suitable monitors to gauge the temperature of
the incoming and outgoing water or steam supply. Another such gauge shall be
placed at the remote manholes to determine the temperatures during cure. Initial
cure shall be deemed to be completed when inspection of the exposed portions of
the cured-in-place pipe appear to be hard and sound. The cure period shafl be of
a duration recommended by the resin manufacturer, as modified for the inversion
process, during which time the recirculation of the water and/or steam and cycling
of the heat exchanger to maintain the temperature continues.
5. Cool-down: The Contractor shall cool the hardened cured-in-place pipe to a
temperature below 100 F before relieving the static head in the inversion
standpipe. Cool-down may be accomplished by introducing cool water into the
inve�sion standpipe to replace water or steam being drained from a small hole
made in the downstream end. Care shall be taken in the release of the static head
so that a vacuum will not be developed that could damage the newly installed
cured-in-place pipe.
F. SERVICE CONNECTIONS: After the pipe has been installed, the Contractor shall
reconnect the active service connections. This shall generally be done without
excavation, and, in the case of non-man entry pipes, from the interior of the pipeline by
means of a television camera and a cutting device that re-established them to not less
than 90 percent capacity. Existing services shall be reinstated within 18 hours of
installation. Should internal reinstatement not be possible, the services must be
reconnected externally by excavation immediately. Service saddles acceptable to the
Engineer shall be utilized. Bac�ll at service connections shall be cement stabilized
(2 sacks per cubic yard) to a point 12 inches above the service lateral to trench
intersection and shall be in accordance with these specifications. Each reconnection shall
be paid for separately. Six inch sewer lines shall have service connectsons completed by
external means. Contractor may re-connect the 6" sewer line connections by internal
means in special cases with the approval of the Engineer.
G. ACCEPTANCE: The finished cure-in-place pipe shall be continuous over the entire length
of an inversion run between manholes and be smooth and free from substantial wrinkles,
as well as defects, and improper house connections. Should any of these defects occur,
the line shall be excavated, repaired and/or rep{aced and complete restoration made to
the satisfaction of the City at no additional cost.
The watertightness of the pipe shall be tested for leaks under a positive head during cure
with allowances being made for end leakage and temperature effects.

The cost for bypass pumping if �equired around an insertion pit, from a manhole
upstream to a manhole downstream, shall be included in the Unit Price Bid for
sliplining.
Excavation for insertion pits shall not be paid for separately, but shall be included
in the Unit Price Bid for sliplining.
5. Insertion of Polyethylene Liner Pipe into Carrier Pipe: The existing sewer will
remain in operation during the sliplining process whenever possible. Obstructions
such as roots, large joint offsets, rocks or other debris, etc., that would prevent
passage or damage to the other pipe sections must be removed or repaired prior
to installing the new pipe. After compfeting the insertion pit excavation, the top of
the existing sanitary sewer line shall be removed, where required, down to the
spring line. A power winch cable shall then be connected to the end of the Irner by
use of a suitable pulling head, equal to the outside diameter of the liner. The
pulling head shalf be adequately secured to the liner and then attached to the
power winch cable so that the liner can be satisfactorily fed and pulled through the
sanitary sewer main. Proper bumpers shall be provided in the insertion pit in order
to prevent the ragged edges of the existing pipe from scarring the outside of the
liner as it is pulled into the existing sewer.
Precautions shall be taken not to damage the liner or b�eak or separate any of the
butt-fused joints. Sufficient time (a minimum of 24 hours) shall be allowed for the
liner to return to its normal length assuming the over-elongation is due to a higher
temperature at the time of installation) based upon the average temperature in the
sewer. The length of the liner pulled in any one segment shall be limited to
prevent any backup of service lines which may result due to restrrcted flow through
the annular space.
Maximum Allowable Pullinq Force. in order to ensure the integrity of the
polyethylene liner, the pulling force exerted on the liner shall be limited to that
indicated on the following table for the appropriate outside diameter of the
polyethylene liner:

PART DA - ADDlTIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS (WATER DEPT.)
As an alternative, the Contractor may be permitted to use a measuring device
(spring, gauge, etc.) connected to the pulling cable which shall register the pulling
force being exerted on the liner. The pulling force shall not exceed those values
indicated above for the applicable outside diameter of the polyethylene liner. The
measuring device shall be approved by the Engineer prior to its use.
The Coniractor may be allowed to push the liner subject to the Engineer's
approval. Care shall be taken to avosd any buckling of the liner by limiting the
stroke of the backhoe. Any portion of the liner damaged during this insertion
process shall be cut out and the liner rejected. In certain cases, the Contractor
may be permitted to use a combination of pulling and pushing to enhance the
insertion of the liner. A liner that is permitted to be pushed shall not have an open
end which can allow sand or other debris to be pushed into the liner.
A pipe manufacturer's representative shall be onsite to assist the Contractor for
the first full day of slipline pipe installation.
6. Use of Clamps and Encasement for Polyethylene Pipe: Where excavations for the
insertion of the liner are made between two manholes, the ends of the liner will be
cut smooth, square to the axis of the liner, so that it can be joined in a workman-
like manner. The liner shall be joined wrth a JCM Industries Type 108 or equal, all
stainless steel (including bolts and lugs}, full circle, Universal Clamp Coupling with
a 1/4-inch minrmum thickness grid type gasket. Clamps shall be selected to fit the
outside diameter of the liner pipe. Minimum clamp widths shall be selected from
the following table:

7.125 15
8.625 18
10.750 or Greater 30
In all excavations where the liner is not within the existing sanitary sewer line
(carrier pipe) cement stabilized sand bedding shall be installed. Visual inspection
is required for approval of bedding before backfill is completed.
7. Testing of the Liner: Testing will be required after the liner has been installed in
the existing sanitary sewer main. The first is a low pressure air test of the liner
before it has been sealed in place at the manholes and before any service
reconnections have been made to the liner. The purpose of this test is to check
the integrity of the joints that have been made and to verify that the liner has not
been damaged by inserting it into the sanitary sewer.
a. Low Pressure Air Test Procedure: After a manhole-to-manhole section of
sanitary sewer main has been sliplined and prior to any service lrnes being
connected to the new liner, the liner shall be plugged at each manhole with
pneumatic plugs. The design of the plugs shall be such that they will hold
against the test pressure without requiring external blocking or bracing.
98039-Parida.doc � � �24� 04/16/9
PART DA - ADDfTIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS (WATER DEPT.)
One of the plugs shall have three (3) air hose connections; one for the
inflation of the plug, one for reading the air-pressure in the sealed line, and
one for introducing air into the sealed line.
Low pressure air shall then be introduced into the sealed line until the
internal air pressure reaches 4.0 psig greater than the average back
pressure resulting from any groundwater that may be over the pipe. At
least two (2) minutes shall elapse to allow the pressure to stabilize.
The time required for the internal pressure to decrease from 3.5 to 2.5 psig
greater than the average back pressure resulting from any ground water
that may be over the pipe, shall not be less than the time shown for a given
pipe diameter in the following table:

18.000 8
Lines over 18 inches shall be approved for payment by Visual and T.V.
Inspection in accordance with Special Condition D-65.
8. Sealing Liner in Manholes: After the pipe has reached equilibrium the annular
space between the liner and the existing sanitary sewer main must be sealed at
each manhole with a chemical seal and nonshrink grout. Oakum soaked in
Scotchseal 5600 or equal shafl be placed in a band to form an effective water-tight
gasket in the annular space between the liner and the existing pipes in the
manholes. The width of the band shall be a minimum of 12" or one-half the
diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater. It shall be finished off with a non-shrink
grout placed around the annular space from inside the manhole and shall not be
less than 6" wide. The chosen method, including chemicals and materials, must
be approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall cut the iiner so that it extends
4" into ihe manhole. The Contractor shall make a smooth, vertical cut and slope
the area over the top of the exposed finer using non-shrink grout. The Contractor
shall also use cementitious grout to form a smooth transition with a reshaped
invert and a raised manhole bench such that neither the shape edges of the liner
pipe, nor the concrete bench, nor the channeled invert shall exist to catch debris
and create a stoppage. The invert of the manhole shall also be reworked
(smoothed and built-up) to match the flow line of the new liner.
The liner pipe shall be allowed to normalize to ambient temperatures, as well as
recover from any imposed stretch, a msnimum of 24 hours in the case of

3.4 The joint filler stop shall be of a closed cell expanded polyethylene foam backer
rod and polyethylene bond breaker tape of sufficient size to provide a tight seal.
The back rod and breaker tape shall be installed in the saw cut }oint to prevent
the joint sealant from flowing to the bottom of the joint. The backer rod and
breaker tape shall be compatible with the silicone joint sealant and no bond or
reaction shall occur between them. Reference is made to the "Construction
Detail" sheet for the various joint details with their respective dimensions.
TIME OF APPLICATION
On newly constructed Portland Cement Concrete pavement, the joints shall be initially
saw cut to the required depth with the proper joint spacing as shown on the
"Construction Detail" sheet or as directed by the Engineer within 12 hours of the
pavement placement. (Note that for the "dummy" joints, the initial 1/4 inch width "green"
saw cut and the "reservoir" saw cut are identical and should be part of the same saw
cutting operation. Immediately after the saw cutting pressure water washing shall be
applied to flush the concrete slurry from the freshly saw cut joints.) The pavement shall
be allowed to cure to a minimum of 7 days. Then the saw cuts for the joint sealant
reservoir shall be made, the joint cleaned, and the joint sealant installed. During the
application of the joint sealant, the weather shall not be inclement and the temperature
shall be 40°F (4°C) and rising.
EQUIPMENT
5.1 All necessary equipment shall be furnished by the Contractor. The Contractor
shall keep his equipment in a satisfactory working condition and shall be
inspected by the Engineer prior to the beginning of the work. The minimum
requirements for construction equipment shall be as follows:

joint sealant placement shall be performed in a continuous sequence of
operations.
�
6.2 Sawin4 Joints: The joints shall be saw cut to the width and depth as shown on
� the "Construction Detail" sheet. The faces of the joints shall be uniform in width
and depth along the full length of the joint.
6.3 Cleanina Joints: Immediately after sawing, the resulting concrete slurry shall be
completely removed from the joint and adjacent area by flushing with high
pressure water. The water flushing shall be done in one direction to prevent joint
contamination.
„� When the Contractor elects to saw the joint by the dry method, flushing the joint
with high pressure water may be deleted. The dust resulting from the sawing
� shall be removed from the joint by using compressed air. (Paragraph Rev. 1-
October 18, 1989)
After complete drying, the joints shall be sandblasted. The nozzle shall be
attached to a mechanical aiming device so that the sand blast will be directed at
� an angle of 45 degrees and at a distance of one to finro inches from the face of
the joint. Both joint faces shall be sandblasted in separate, one directional
passes.
Upon the termination of the sandblasting, the joints shall be blown-out using
� compressed air. The blow tube shall fit into the joints.
The blown joint shall be checked for residual dust or other contamination. If any
dust or contamination is found, the sandblasting and blowing shall be repeated
�
� 98039_Silicone.doc
SILICONE JOINT SEALING SPECIFICATIONS
until the joint is cleaned. Solvents will not be permitted to remove stains and
contamination.
Immediately upon cleaning, the bond breaker and sealant shall be placed in the
joint. Open, cleaned joints shall not be left unsealed overnight.
6.4 Bond Breaker Rod and Tape: The bond breaker rod and tape shall be installed
in the cleaned joint prior to the application of the joint sealant in a manner that
will produce the required dimensions.
6.5 Joint Sealant: Upon placement of the bond breaker rod and tape, the joint
sealant shall be applied using the mechanical injection tool. The joint sealant
application shall not be permitted when the air and pavement temperature is less
than 40°F (4°C). Joints shall not be sealed unless they are clean and dry.
Unsatisfactorily sealed joints shall be refilled. Excess sealant left on the
pavement surface shall be removed and discarded and shall not be used to seal
the joints. The pavement surface shall present a clean final condition.

VENDOR COMPLIANCE TO STATE LAW
The 1985 Session of the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 620 relative to the award of
contracts to non-resident bidders. The law that, in order to be awarded a contract as low bidder,
non-resident bidders (out-of-state contractors whose corporate offices or principal place of
business are outside of the state of Texas) bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies
or services in Texas at an mount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same
amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid a non-resident bidder in
order to obtain a comparable contract in the state in which the non-resident's principle place of
business is located. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all out-of-state or
non-resident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications. The failu�e of out-of-state or
non-resident contractors to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders
must check the box in Section B.
A. Non-resident vendors in (give state�, our principal place of business, are
required to be percent lower than resident bidders by state law. A
copy of the statute is attached.
Non resident vendors in (give state), or principal place of business, are
not required to underbid resident bidders. ��
B. Our principal place of business or corporate offices are in the State of Texas. �
