as little inconvenience as possible will result to the public in the course
of construction" It is necessary, therefore, that the Contractor confine h'i s
operations to as smal I a length of work per crew as is feasible. Except by
permission of the Engineer, at no time shall the trenching equipment be further
than 200 feet ahead of each pipe'l aying crew" Backfill of the trench shall be
accompl i shed so that no section of approved pipe shal 1 be left open longer
than 48 hours, except by permi ssion of the Engineer, Complete backfill and
cleanup shall progress as each section of pipe has been inspected and approved.
The Contractor shall repair and regrade a1l existing drainage ditches, natural
drainage courses, and al I other drainage faci I ities, including culverts damaged
or removed during the construction"
The Contractor shal I give prompt consideration for reopening streets,
road's, and driveways to the public after the line has been installed past
these points. No traffic way shall be closed while work is suspended over week
ends or holidays, and closures during work days shall be as brief as practicable.
Where private accesses are to be closed, the property owners shall be notified
by the Contractor at least 24 hours in advance of the closure. Access for fire
and emergency equipment for the protection of buildings, life, and property
shall be maintained at all times.

sandstone, I imestone, granite, basalt, or other solid rock of equal hardness,
in ledges, bedded deposits, or unstratified masses that, in the Engineer's
opinion, wil I requi.e the use of systematic dril ling and blasting for removal.
Boulders less than one-half cubic yard in volume will not be classified as
rock. Cemented gravel (conglomerate), shale. clay, and other sedimentary
materials will only be classified as rock when, in the Engineer's opinion,
systematic drilling and blasting is .equi!-ed for removal. Loam, sand, gravel,
clay, or other such mater ial strat'i fied between the layers of rock will not
be classified as rock -
Unless otherwise specified in the Special Specifications, the

to the handling, placing, and f i''ing of explosives" No blasting shall be done
adjacent to any portion of exposed work or structures unless p.6p61- precautions
are taken to insure that the structures and materials surrounding and supporting
the same will not be damaged by the blasting. When blasting rock in trenches,
the Contractor- shall cover the area to be shot with blasting mats or other
approved type of protective material that will prevent the scattering of rock
fragments outside of the excavation The Contractor shall give ample warning
to ail persons within the vicinity p.ior to blasting and shall station men
and provide signals of dange. in suitable places to warn people and vehicles
before firing any blasts. Unless otherwi se appr6ys( by the Engineer, al I
blasts shall be fired with an electric blasting machine which shall not be
connected in the circu'i t until just prio!' to the time for firing and then
shall be connected by the man who will operate the blasting machine" After
a blast has been fi.ed. the blaste. shall make a minute inspection to determine
if all charge5 have exploded befo.e employees a'e allowed to return to the
operation. Misfires shall be corre(ted in accordance with the requirements
of the applicable portions of the State or local Safety Code for Blasting.

to prevent caving, excavation in sand, gravel , sandy soil, or other un-
stable material shall be adequately sheeted and braced, Where sheeting and
bracing are used, trench widths shal I be increased accordingly" Trench
sheeting shall remain in place until the pipe has been placed, tested for
defects, and repaired, if necessary, and the earth around the pipe compacted
to a depth of four inches ove. the top of the PiPe" All sheeting, shoring,
and bracing of trenches shall conform to the requirements of the State
Industrial Accident Commission or- similar appropriate body having jurisdic-
tion over such matters in the State in which the work is performed"
C-5" Location of Excavated Materials. During trench excavation,
the Contractor shal I locate the excavated material so that it w
obstruct a traveled roadway or street; and, unless otherwise specified, he
shall keep al I streets and roadways open to traffic.
C-7 " Removal of Water" The Contractor shall provide and maintain
ample means and devices with which to promptly remove and dispose o f al l
water entering the trench excavation during the time that the trench is
being prepared for the pipe laying, during the pipe laying, and for such
additional time as may be requi-ed for the setting or hardening of joint
materials, during the time that the backfill is being placed, and at such
times as may be specified 'in the Spec'ial Specifications- The Contractor
shall dispose of the water in a suitable manner without damage to adjacent
pr oper ty "
C-8. Foundation Stabilization. Where pipe is to be laid in the
trench and the bottom of the trench is in fine, wet sand or other unstable
material not satisfactory for base for pipe, the Engineer shall requi re that
the trench be excavated to a depth of from l2 to l8 inches below the required
flow line grade and the trench be backfil led to the required grade with
gravel for backfill as specified in B-l herein" This item shall include
excavation necessary to provi de space for the foundat ion stabi I i zation

a release
indicating that the work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance
with the terms of the permi t or easement. Shor:ld it be found impossible for
the Cont!-actor to obtain any of tne reqi.iired releases either because of the
absence of the grantor or because of impract'ical demands by the grantor, then
the Engineer may waive this req,ri!'ement if, in his opinion, the Contractor
has fulfilled his obligat-rons. The Cont"actor shall notify the owners of
these properties 48 hou"s in advance of the time when construction will be
started.
C.-15. lnterfering Str,.rctu-es and Utilities. The Contractor shall

uti 1 i t ie ther aboveground or underground, An attempt has been made to
show th uctures and r.:tilrties on the Plans or to'i ndicate their presence
in the Special Specifications, While the information has been compiled from
the best available sources, its completeness and accuracy cannot be guaranteed
and it is presented simply as a guide to possible difficulties. The Contractor
shall noti fy all utility offices concerned at least 48 hours in advance of
construction operations in wnich a 'rtilityrs facilities may be involved.
This shall include but not be limited to irrigation, water, telephone,electric, oil, gas, and television services.
It shall be the Contractorrs responsibility to locaLe and exPose €il
existing underground structLr.es and Lrtilities adjacent to or crossing the
proposed trench far enough in advance of the pipe laying in order that the
Engineer may make such field revisions as may be necessary to avoid conflicts
with utilities o. structures- The cost of waiting or "downrr time during
such field revisions shall be borne by the Contractor without additional cost
to the Owner, Any structrrres o. utilities damaged by the work shall be
repai red or replaced in a condition equal to! o!- better than, the condition
prior to the damage. Such 'epair or replacement shall be accomplished at the
Contractorrs expense wi thout additional compensation from the owner.
The Contractor shal I 'emove and replace such small miscellaneous
structures as cullerts, fences" mail boxes, and sign posts at his own
expense without additional compensation f.om the owner. The Contractor
shall replace these structures in a condition as good, or better than,
thei r original condi tion,
If interfering power poles, telephone poles. guy w'i res, or anchors
are encountered, the cont!-acto. shall notify the Engineer at ieast l2 days in
advance of construction to pe.mit a."angements with the utility company for
protection or relocation of the structure Such st!'uctures wi I I not be

If the Contracto. encounters existing st!'uctirres which wil l prevent
the construction of the pipeline and which are not properly shown on the
Plans, he shall notify the Enginee' before continuing with the construction
in order that the Engineer- may make such field revisions as necessary to
avoid conflict with the existing structu!'es. If the Contractor shal I fail to
so not'i fy the flngiaser when an existing structu!'e is encountered, but sha]l
proceed with the construction despite this interference, he snall do
so at his own risk. When the location of the pipel ine as shown on the Plans
will prohibit the !-estoration of an existing str'rcture to its original
