Excavation depths in other types of materials and conditions shall be made as hereinafter specified.

C. In areas where trench widths are not limited by right-of-way and/or easement widths, property line restrictions, existing adjacent improvements including pavements, structures and other utilities, and maintenance of traffic, the trench sides may be sloped to a stable angle of repose of the excavated material but only from a point one foot above the crown of the pipe.

D. Barriers shall be placed at each end of all excavations and at

such places as may be necessary along excavations to warn all pedestrian and vehicular traffic of such excavations. Lights shall also be placed along excavations from sunset each day to sunrise of the next day until such excavation is entirely refilled, compacted, and surface restored. All excavations shall be barricaded in such a manner as to prevent persons from falling or walking into any excavation. Safe and suitable ladders that project 2-feet above the top of the trench shall be provided for all trenches greater than 4-feet in depth. Excavation for appurtenances shall be sufficient to provide a clearance between their outer surfaces and the face of the excavation of sheeting, if used, of not less than 12-inches.

E. Excavated unsuitable material shall be removed from the site

and disposed of by the Contractor. Materials removed from the trenches shall be stored in such a manner that will not interfere unduly with traffic on public roadways and sidewalks. In congested areas, such materials that cannot be stored adjacent to the trench or used immediately as backfill shall be removed to other convenient places of storage acceptable to the Contracting Officer at the Contractor's expense. Excavated material that is suitable for use as backfill shall be used in areas where sufficient material is not available from the excavation. Suitable material in excess of backfill requirements shall be the property of the Contractor and shall be hauled away by the Contractor with no additional cost to the Government; all costs for hauling,

02222-5

loading and unloading shall be included in the bid price. 3.3 SHEETING AND BRACING A. The term sheeting shall represent any type of shoring used to

support the sides of the excavation. For trench excavation 5 feet deep or less, sheeting and shoring shall be installed where necessary to control trench width, protect the workmen and the general public, and prevent damage to this or adjacent work, or structures. When a trench excavation is in excess of 5 feet deep, the Contractor shall comply with the provisions of the State of Florida "Trench Safety Act" and compliance with OSHA requirements. Method(s) of compliance used shall protect the workmen and the general public, prevent damage to this or adjacent work, structures, utilities, pavements, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and similar improvements both public and private, and to provide for proper maintenance of traffic. The trench width may vary to accomplish this and to comply with the Trench Safety Act, but only from a point 1 foot above the top of the pipe.

B. Where wood sheeting or certain designs of steel sheeting are

used or when removal of sheeting system can disturb the bedding, pipe or alignment of pipe, the sheeting shall be cut off at a level of 2 feet above the top of the installed pipe and that portion below the level shall be left in place. The Contractor shall not receive additional compensation over and above the Contract price for any sheeting that is required to be left in place. If interlocking steel sheeting is used, it may be removed providing removal can be accomplished without disturbing the bedding, pipe or alignment of the pipe. Any damage to the pipe bedding, pipe or alignment of the constructed utility caused by the removal of sheeting shall be cause for rejection of the affected portion of the work.

C. The Contractor shall be responsible for the adequacy of all

sheeting used and for all damage resulting from sheeting and bracing failure or from placing, maintaining and removing it.

3.4 REMOVAL OF WATER A. General: It is a basic requirement of the Contract Documents

that excavation shall be free from water before pipes are repaired.

02222-6

B. The Contractor shall provide pumps, and other appurtenant equipment necessary to remove and maintain water at such a level as to maintain a dry construction site. The Contractor shall continue dewatering operations until backfilling has progressed to a sufficient depth over the pipe to prevent flotation or movement of the pipe in the trench or so that it is above the water table. If at any point during the dewatering operation it is determined that fine material is being removed from the excavation sidewalls, the dewatering operation shall be stopped and the method modified or an alternative method employed. If any of the subgrade or underlying material is disturbed by movement of groundwater, surface water, or any other reason, it shall be replaced at no additional cost to the Government with crushed stone or gravel. The Contractor shall use dewatering systems that include automatic starting devices, and standby pumps that will ensure continuous dewatering in the event of a break down of one or more pumps.

C. Disposal: The Contractor shall be responsible to dispose of

water from the dewatering operation in accordance with the Contract Documents and shall obtain all necessary permits and conform to all local regulations and codes. Water from dewatering operation may be disposed at locations directed by the Contracting Officer with the proper installation of separation screens and operation of the dewatering system in accordance with all local regulations and codes. The Contractor shall submit his dewatering method and point(s) of discharge to the Contracting Officer for review at least ten days prior to any dewatering activities. The Contractor shall provide maintenance of canal(s) and drainage ditches to which he discharges. The cost of maintaining drainage ditches and canal(s) shall be included in the bid price. The Contractor shall remove siltation and haul, and dispose of this material at his expense and all costs for hauling, loading and unloading shall be included in this bid price. Water from the trenches and excavation shall be disposed of in such a manner as will not cause injury to public health, to property, to the work completed or in progress, to the surface of the streets, to interfere with the use of the same by the public, or will not cause pollution of any waterway or stream. The Contractor shall submit his proposed methods of handling trench water and locations at which the water will be disposed of to the Contracting Officer for review at least ten days prior to any related work and shall receive written acceptance before

02222-7

starting the excavation. 3.5 TRENCH STABILIZATION A. No claim for extras, or additional payment will be considered

for cost incurred in the stabilization of trench bottoms which are rendered soft or unstable as a result of construction methods, such as improper or inadequate sheeting, dewatering or other causes. In no event shall pipes or other utilities be installed when such conditions exist and the Contractor shall correct such conditions so as to provide proper bedding or foundations for the proposed installation at no additional cost to the Government before placing the pipes.

3.6 PIPE BEDDING A. Pipe trenches shall be excavated subject to the requirements

of the specification. The resulting excavation shall be backfilled with the specific pipe bedding material, up to the level of the centerline of the proposed pipe barrel. This backfill shall be tamped and compacted to provide a proper bedding for the pipe and shall then be shaped to receive the pipe. Bedding shall be provided under the branch of all fittings to furnish adequate support and bearing under the fitting. Any excavation below the levels required for installation of the pipe bedding shall be backfilled with acceptable bedding material, tamped, compacted and shaped to provide proper support for the proposed pipe, at no additional cost to the Government.

3.7 BACKFILL A. Pipelines: Backfilling of trenches will not be allowed until

the work has been reviewed by the Contracting Officer, and the Contracting Officer indicates that backfilling may proceed. Any work covered up or concealed without the knowledge or consent of the Contracting Officer may be required to be uncovered or exposed at no cost to the Government.

B. Pipeline trenches shall be backfilled with a select backfill

material to a level 12-inches above the top of the pipe. Such material shall be placed in 6-inch layers, each compacted to the densities specified in "compaction and densities". Only hand operated mechanical compacting equipment shall be used within six inches of the installed pipe. After the select

02222-8

backfill has been placed as specified above, and after all excess water has completely drained from the trench, backfilling of the remainder of the trench may proceed. The remainder of the backfill shall be placed in horizontal layers, the depth of which shall not exceed the ability of the compaction equipment employed, and in no event shall exceed a depth of 12-inches. Each layer shall be moistened, tamped, puddled, rolled or compacted to the densities specified. The backfill up to the centerline of the pipe shall be placed as soon as practical after the repair of the pipe. On parts of the line where ground water level may be high enough to float the pipe, the placing of the backfill and the rate of pumping the trench shall be so controlled as to prevent the pipe from floating or moving from the line and grade established.

3.8 COMPACTION AND DENSITIES A. Compaction Requirements: Compaction of backfill shall be 98%

of the maximum density where the trench is located under structures or paved areas, and 95% of the maximum density elsewhere. Methods of control and testing of backfill construction are:

1. Maximum density of the material in trenches shall be

determined by ASTM D 1557, Method D.

2. Field density of the backfill material in place shall be determined by ASTM D 1556 or D 2922.

B. Testing: A minimum of two tests of the field density of the

backfill shall be conducted at each point of repair to establish compliance with the compaction requirements of these specifications. The Contractor shall coordinate and provide the tests. Trench backfill which does not comply with the specified densities, as indicated by such tests, shall be reworked and re compacted until the required compaction is secured at no additional cost to the Government. The costs for retesting such work shall be paid for by the Contractor.

3.9 ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL A. Where organic material, such as roots, muck, or other

vegetable matter, or other material which will result in unsatisfactory foundation conditions is encountered below the level of the proposed bedding material, additional excavation

02222-9

shall be performed to a depth of 3' below pipeline or where acceptable foundation bearing surface is found. Additional specified sheeting shall be installed if necessary to maintain trenches. The resulting excavation shall be backfilled with fill material as specified and placed in 12-inch layers, tamped and compacted up to the level of the bottom of the specified pipe bedding material. Sufficient compaction of this material shall be performed to protect the proposed pipe against settlement. Minimum compaction requirements shall be as specified. Construction shall then proceed in accordance with the provisions Pipe Bedding. The excavation of all additional material below the outside bottom of the pipe and corresponding sheeting, dewatering and other work, as required, shall be completed at the Contractor's expense.
