Selected backfill shall contain no piece of material of a size greater than 3/4-inch diameter . Where, in the opinion of the Engineer, material of this size is not available from the material excavated from the trench, the Contractor shall provide clean, bank- run gravel or crushed stone having reasonably even gradation from 1/8-inch to 3/4-inch size. B-3. Gravel for Pipe Base. Gravel for pipe base shall be clean pea gravel or sand. B-4. Gravel for Foundation Stabiiizationa Gravel for foundation stabilization shall conform to B-1 herein and shall , in addition, be sufficien- tly free and other material such that it will produce a stable base. B-5. Gravel Surfacing Material . Unless otherwise indicated in the Special Specifications, gravel surfacing for use with Class E backfill shall be 1 inch to 3/8 inch, conforming to the applicable requirements of AASHO M b3-51 . C . Workmanship C-lo Progress of Constructions It is the intent of these Contract Documents that the progress of the work shall be in a systematic manner so that as little inconvenience as possible will result to the public in the course of construction. It is necessary, therefore, that the Contractor confine his operations to as small 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 laying crew. Backfill of the trench shall be accomplished so that no section of approved pipe shall be left open longer than' 48 hours, except by permission 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 all existing drainage ditches, natural drainage courses, and all other drainage facilities, including culverts damaged or removed during the construction. The Contractor shall 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. 41 C-2. Trench Width. Minimum width of unsheeted trenches in which pipe is to be laid shall be 2 inches greater than inside diameter of the pipe for 24-inch and larger pipe and 18 inches for less than 24-inch diameter pipe, except by permission of the Engineer. The maximum clear width will not be limited, except in cases where excess width of excavation would cause damage to adjacent structures or where the Special Specifications or the Plans limit the clear width at the top of the pipe to avoid pipe failure due to excessive external load, C-3, Grades The bottom of the trench shall be carried to the lines and grades shown on the Plans or as established by the Engineer, with proper allowance for pipe thickness and for gravel cushion or special bedding when required. Any part of the trench excavated below grade shall be corrected with approved material thoroughly compacted, The depth of trenches for utilities shall be as specified in the Special Specifications or shown on the Plans, or both, C-4, Rock Excavation, a, Definition of Rock Excavation,, Unless otherwise defined in the Special Specifications, the term "rock shall be understood to mean solid sandstone, limestone, granite, basalt, or other solid rock of equal hardness, in ledges, bedded deposits, or unstratified masses that, in the Engineer ' s opinion, will require the use of systematic drilling 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 required for removal . Loam, sand, gravel , clay, or other such material stratified between the layers of rock will not be classified as rock, It shall be the Contractor ' s responsibility, when directed by the Engineer, to remove all loam, sand gravel , clay, or other such material above the rock and clean off and expose the rock surface in a satisfactory manner so that the Engineer may examine the surface and obtain any measure- ments he requires Measurement will include only the actual volume of the rock to be removed Unless otherwise specified in the Special Specifications, the quantity of rock shall be measured by the Engineer and the Contractor or his representative prior to backfilling the trench and the amount of rock deter- mined, agreed upon, and made a matter of record by both parties. b� Depth of Rock Excavation, Where rock is encountered, it shall be excavated to a depth of six inches greater than the required grade, and the trench shall be backfilled with suitable material , thoroughly compacted to establish the proper grade for the pipe, c. Use of Explosives, When the use of explosives is necessary for the prosecution of the work, the Contractor shall use the utmost care so as not to endanger life or property, cause slides, or disturb materials outside the neat lines of the trenches or excavations. All explosives shall be stored in a safe, secure manner in compliance with local laws and ordinances, and all such storage places shall be marked clearly "Dangerous Explosives::" No explosives shall be left in an unprotected manner along or adjacent to any highway, street, alley, or other area where such explosives could endanger persons or property, Storage of explosives shall be in accordance with the requirements of the State Industrial Accident Commission or similar appropriate body having the jurisdiction in such matters in the state in which the work is performed: Only persons experienced in the handling of explosives shall be allowed to use them on the work, Where State or local laws require that explosives be handled only by licensed personnel , it shall be the Contractor ' s responsibility to see that this requirement is met, The Contractor shall provide all necessary approved types of tools and devices required for loading and using explosives, blasting caps, and accessories. The Contractor shall conform his acts to and shall obey all Federal , State, and local laws that may be imposed by any public authority or directions that may be given from time to time by the Engineer relative to the handling, placing, and firing of explosives. No blasting shall be done adjacent to any portion of exposed work or structures unless proper 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 all persons within the vicinity prior to blasting and shall station men and provide signals of danger in suitable places to warn people and vehicles before firing any blasts, Unless otherwise approved by the Engineer, all blasts shall be fired with an electric blasting machire which shall not be connected in the circuit until just prior to the time for firing and then shall be connected by the man who will operate the blasting machine. After a blast has been fired, the blaster shall make a minute inspection to determine if all charges have exploded before employees are allowed to return to the operation. Misfires shall be corrected in accordance with the requirements of the applicable portions of the State or local Safety Code for Blasting. The Contractor shall be responsible for any and all damages to property or injury to persons resulting from blasting or accidental or premature explosions that may occur in connection with his use of explosives, do Repair of Damage, In case injury from blasting occurs to any portion of the work or to the material surrounding or supporting the same, the Contractor, at his own expense, shall remove such injured work, repair the work, and replace the material surrounding or supporting the same, or shall furnish such material and perform such work of repair or replacement as the Engineer shall order, Any damage whatever to any existing structures due to blasting shall be promptly, completely, and satisfactorily repaired by the Contractor at his own expense C-5. Shoring, Sheeting, and Bracing of Trenches. Whenever necessary 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 shall 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 over 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. Cm6o Location of Excavated Materials, During trench excavation, the Contractor shall locate the excavated material so that it will not obstruct a traveled roadway or street; and, unless otherwise specified, he shall keep all 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 of all 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 required 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 Special Specifications The Contractor shall dispose of the water in a suitable manner without damage to adjacent property, 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 require that the trench be excavated to a depth of from 12 to 18 inches below the required flow line grade and the trench be backfilled to the required grade with `f gravel for backfill as specified in B 1 herein., This item shall include excavation necessary to provide space for the foundation stabilization material ., C-9, Gravel Base for Pipe, The gravel base shall be a minimum of 4 inches thick for the full width of the trench with the top of the gravel base at flow line grade for the pipe- The gravel base shall be placed and raked to grade ahead of the pipe laying operation, Wherever , in the opinion of the Engineer, the pipe zone of the trench is in suitable base material , this item will be omitted., This item includes the additional excavation necessary to provide space for the pipe base material , C-10= Tench Backfill at Pipe Zone When pipe has been laid in the trench, selected backfill material shall be placed in the trench simul - taneously on both sides of the pipe for the full width of the trench in layers not exceeding six inches in depth and tamped thoroughly with a pneumatic tamper, unless otherwise specified in the Special Specifications or by the Engineer , If hand- tamping is permitted, the backfill material shall be thoroughly tamped with tamping sticks made from l " x 2" lumber or such other devices as may be approved by the Engineer. Particular attention must be paid to the underside of the pipe and fittings to provide solid backing against the external surface of the pipe, The pipe zone shall be considered to extend four inches above the outside of the pipe.

The Contractor will not be allowed to push the backfill material into the trench in such a way as to permit free fall of the material into the open trench. Under no circumstances shall sharp, heavy pieces of material be allowed to drop directly onto the pipe or the tamped material around the piper All wind- rowed material over trenches and the upper twelve inches of all trenches finished level with the surrounding ground shall be free and clean of all boulders and stones four inches in diameter and larger , unless otherwise designated in the Special Specifications or directed by the Engineer„ d . Class B Backfill , The entire trench above the pipe zone shall be backfilled with material as specified in B , l herein . This material shall be placed in the manner specified in C• ll c - herein: e Class E Backfill , The trench abo\,e the pipe zone shall be backfilled as specified under C:- ] l :c herein to a depth below the ground surface such that following compaction over the entire trench surface by at least two passes with the wheels or tract of a loader, truck, cat, or other similar equipment, the top of the backfill will be 18 inches below the ground surface- Fifteen inches of gravel as specified under B-1 herein shall then be placed in the trench and similarly compacted, The remaining 3 inches of trench depth shall be filled with material conforming to B-5 herein. The final backfilled surface shall be at the same level as the original surface. This item shall include the replacement of all gravel surfacing removed or disturbed by any of the construction operations whether within or outside the actual trench area , C- 12 Excess Excavated Material . All excess excavated materials from Class A,B, B, and E operations shall be hauled and disposed of by the Contractor at locations outlined in the Special Specifications. LJ r I Unless otherwise noted in the Special Specifications for Class C backfill , the Contractor shall make his own estimate of the backfill material required at the trench side after normal settlement has occurred. This material shall be neatly windrowed over the trench and all excess hauled and disposed of in locations outlined in the Special Specifications. Any excess or deficiency of backfill material , which becomes apparent after normal settlement within the Contractor ' s guarantee period, shall be the Contractor ' s responsibility and shall be cor,ected, C-13. Road, Street, and Driveway Crossings. The Contractor shall obey all rules and regulations of the County, City, and State authorities regarding the closing of public streets or highways to the use of public traffic.

All barricades shall be of substantial construction. C-14. Permits and Easements. Where the trench is to be dug within a right of way obtained by permit or easement, the Contractor shall acquaint himself with the requirements of the permit or easement, shall confine his operations to the area within the permit or easement, and shall obtain from the permit or easement grantor at the completion of the construction a release indicating that the work has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the terms of the permit or easement. Should it be found impossible for the Contractor to obtain any of the required releases either, because of the absence of the grantor or because of impractical demands by the grantor, then the Engineer may waive this requirement if, in his opinion, the Contractor has fulfilled his obligations. The Contractor shall notify the owners of these properties 48 hours in advance of the time when construction will be started. C-15, Interfering Structures and Utilities, The Contractor shall take all ' ossible caution to prevent damage to existing structures and utilitie: ther aboveground or underground„ An attempt has been made to show the uctures and utilities on the Plans or to indicate 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 notify all utility offices concerned at least 48 hours in advance of construction operations in which a utility' s 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 Contractor ' s responsibility to locate and expose all existing underground structures and utilities 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 or structures , The cost of waiting or ''down" time during such field revisions shall be borne by the Contractor without additional cost to the Owner. Any structures or utilities damaged by the work shall be repaired or replaced in a condition equal to, or better than, the condition prior to the damage. Such repair or replacement shall be accomplished at the Contractor 's expense without additional compensation from the Owner. The Contractor shall remove and replace such small miscellaneous structures as culverts, fences, mail boxes, and sign posts at his own expense without additional compensation from the owner . The Contractor shall replace these structures in a condition as good, or better than, their original condition .. If interfering power poles, telephone poles , guy wires, or anchors are encountered, the Contracto, shall notify the Engineer at least 12 days in advance of construction to permit arrangements with the utility company for protection or relocation of the structure.- Such structures will not be considered to interfere unless they are within 3 feet of the trench center line. If the Contractor encounters existing structures which will prevent the construction of the pipeline and which are not properly shown on the L 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 structures., If the Contractor shall fail to so notify the Engineer when an existing structure is encountered, but shall proceed with the construction despite this interference, he shall do so at his own risk. When the location of the pipeline as shown on the Plans will prohibit the restoration of an existing structure to its original condition, he shall notify the Engineer in order that a field relocation may be made to avoid conflict, C=lb;, Field Pelocafion. During the progress of construction, it is expected that minor relocations of the line will be necessary. Such reloca- tions shall be made only by direction of the Engineer . Unforeseen obstructions encountered as a result of such relocations will not be subjects for claims for additional compensation by the Contractor to any greater extent than would have been the case had the obstruction been encountered along the original location,: C-17r. `Obstructions, This item shall refer to obstructions which may be removed and do not require replacement . Obstructions to the construc- tion of the trench such as but not limited to tree roots, stumps, abandoned piling, abandoned concrete structures, logs, and debris of all types, shall be removed by the Contractor at his own expense without additional compen- sation from the Owner , The Engineer will , if requested by the Contractor, make changes in alignment to avoid major obstructions if such alignment changes can be made without adversely affecting the intended functioning �-' of the facility., The Contractor shall pay all costs resulting from such alignment changes : Cm1$., Excavation Across Cultivated Land, When excavating through culJ v land, the topsoil shall be removed and stockpiled on one side "f the°, nch and the subsoil piled on the other, Backfill shall be such that the finished surface will be as nearly as practicable to its original condition. C 19, Clearing the Right of Way, Where clearing of the right of way is necessary, it shall be completed prior to the start of the trenching. Trees and brush shall be cut as near to the surface of the ground as practicable and piled for disposal . Disposal shall be by burning unless otherwise directed by the Engineer'. The Contractor shall observe all Federal and State laws relating to fire permits and local regulations related to burning such material . Under no condition shall excavated materials be permitted to cover brush or trees prior' to clearing and burning, C-20. Pavement Removal , Unless otherwise noted in the Special Specifications, where trenches are to be dug through paved streets, the pave- ment shall be cut to a straight tine on each side of the trench with a power saw or other approved equipment, The width of the pavement cut out shall not be greater than the minimum width required for the installation of the pipe,., The Contractor shall so conduct the pavement removal operations as to cause the minimum damage possible to the adjacent pavement, After the trench has been backfilled, the pavement cut shall be filled with gravel and shall be maintained level with the adjoining pavement without bumps or chuck holes until the pavement is patched, STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CAST IRON PIPE AND FITTINGS STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS for �.

These provisions shall apply during the noon hour as well as overnight. If water is in the trench, the seal shall remain in place until the trench is pumped completely dry. C-2.8. Cutting Pipe. The cutting of pipe for inserting valves, fittings, or closure pieces shall be done in a neat and workmanlike manner without damage to the pipe or lining and so as to leave a smooth end at right angles to the axis of the pipe. When machine cutting is not available for cutting bell-and-spigot pipe 20 inches in diameter or larger, the electric-arc cutting method will be per- mitted, using a carbon or steel rod. Only qualified and experienced workmen NNW, shall be used on this work. The flame cutting of pipe by means of an oxyacetylene torch shall not be allowed. When approved by the Engineer, the pipe may be cut cold in the field by use of rolling pipe cutters, or sledge and cold cutters hough edges shall be smoothed as directed by the Engineer.. When mechanical joint or rubber gasket joint pipe is cut in the field, it shall be cut as recommended by the pipe manufacturer, and the cut end shall be reconditioned so that it may be used for the next joint, On rubber gasket joint pipe, the outside of the cut shalt be ground back or dressed as recom- mended by the pipe manufacturer and approved by the Engineer. C-2090 Bell End to Dace Direction of. Layi.ngo Unless otherwise directed, pipe shall be laid with bell end facing in the direction of the laying; and for lines on an appreciable slope., bells shall., (at the discretion of the Engineer) face upgrade. C-2e10a Permissible Deflection at Joints, Wherever it is necessary to deflect pipe from a straight line, either in the vertical or horizontal. plane, to avoid obstructions or plumb stems, or where long-radius curves are permitted, the amount of deflection allowed shall. not exceed that approved by the Engineer, Maximum permitted deflections are indicated hereinafter in Tables I, II, and III.

Jointing of Cast Iron Bell-and-Spigot Pipe and Fittings, C-3.1.1, Placin& of Yarning Material . The yarning material shall be placed around the spigot of the pipe and shall be of proper dimensions to center the spigot in the bell . When the spigot is shoved home, the yarning material shall be driven tightly against the inside base or hub of the bell with suitable yarning tools, When a single strand of yarning material is used, it shall have an overlap at the top of not more than 2 inches. When more than a single strand is re- quired for a joint, each strand shall be cut to sufficient length so that the ends will meet without causing overlap., The ends of the strands shall meet on opposite sides of the pipe and not on the top or at the bottom, Successive strands of yarning material shall be driven home separately„ C-3.1a2. __ Depth_ of Jointing Material. For lead joints, a space not less than 2-1/4 inches in depth shall be left in the bell in pipe having a nominal diameter of 20 inches or less; 2-1/2 inches in 24-, 30-, and 36-inch pipe; and 3 inches in pipe larger than .36 inches. When cement is specified, a space not less than 3 inches in depth shall be left in the bell unless it is specified that the yarning material or packing shall be omitted. C-3_e1.3o Lead Joints. C-3.1.3.1 . Heating and Pouring of Lead, lead shall be V heated in a melting pot kept in. easy reach of the joint to be poured so that the molten metal. will not be chilled in being carried from the melting pot to the joint. The lead shall be brought to a proper temperature so that, when stirred, it will show a rapid change of color. Before pouring, all scum shall be removed from the surface of the molten lead. Each joint shall be made with one continuous pour, filling the entire joint space with solid lead. Spongy or imperfectly filled joints shall. be burned out and repoured. C-3.1 ,.3.2. Position of Joint Runner_. The joint runner shall fit snugly against the face of the bell andthe outside of the pipe and shall be dammed with clay to form a pouring lip to provide for filling the joint flush with the face and to the top of the bell. C-3.1,3.3. Cau_l . After the lead has cooled to the temperature of the pipe, lead joints shall be caulked with pneumatic or hand tools operated by competent workmen until s,ich joints are thoroughly compacted and watertight. The finished joint shall show a hard and even-hammered sur- face over all- Care shall be taken not to overstrain the bells during caulk- ing, Lead should be caulked from the barrel toward the bell of the pipe to assure that lead will be forced into the bell groove. C-3.1,4. Cement Joints. C-3 .1,4.1. Proportions_of Cement and Water. One quart of cement shall. be thoroughly mixed with abo,,st 1/4 pint of water, The mixture shall be such that, when it is tightly compressed by hand into a ball and the ball is broken into two pieces, the break shall be clean. If the hand is water--stained, the mixture is too wet.. If there is evidence of crumbling in the break, the mixture is too dry. The cement mixture shall ring with a metallic sound while being caulked.. C-3.1.4.2, Cause for Resection. No cement shall be used after having been wet more than one-hour or after it has taken its initial set. C3.1 .4.3, Caulking Cement Joints, Starting at the bottom, the joint space shall be filled with the cement mixture and the mixture caulked. The remaining joint space shall then be refilled and caulked until the joint is practically flush with the face of the bell. The mixture shall be thorough- ly compacted to make a watertight joint without overstraining the bell, C-3.1 .+.4. Trench Water and Initial. Set. No water shall be allowed to touch the joint until the initial set has taken place. C-3. 1 --.,.5, Joints Keyt k!oi st.- Cement joints shall be covered immediately with damp burlap or other material approved by the Engi- neer for the proper time to insure complete hydration. In cold weather, care shall be taken to prevent freezing of the cement mixture before and after the joint is made. C-3.1.4.6. Time Interval Before Filling Pipe,, Pipe laid with cement joints shall not be filled with water before a lapse of twelve hours after the last joint in any valved section has been made, and pressure shall not be permitted in the pipe until all joints have aged as provided in Item C-7. C-3.2. Jointing Mechanical .Joint Cast iron Pipe. Mechanical joint cast iron pipe varies slightly with different manufacturers, and the particu- lar pipe furnished shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as approved by the Engineer . In general, the procedure shall be as hereinafter specified. The ends of the pipe shall be cleaned of all dirt, mud, and foreign matter by washing with water and scrubbing vigorous- ly with a wire brush, after which the gland and gasket shall be slipped on the plain end. If necessary, the pipe end may be lubricated with soapy water to facilitate sliding the gasket in place.. The end of the pipe shall then be guided carefully into the bell of the pipe previously laid. The spigot shall be centrally located in the bell , the gasket placed in position, and the bolts inserted in the holes., Torque ranges to be applied to cast iron bolts and wrench lengths which should produce the required torq:.e when applied by the average man should be as follows- Diameter Torque Range Wrench of. Bolt-In, �Pt: lLbs ,w I.:enath�InIn. 5/8 40 0 60 8 3/4 60 90 10 1 70 100 12 1-1/4 90 - 120 14 When tightening bolts, the gland should be brosght up toward the flange evenly, maintaining approximately the same distance between the gland and the face of the flange at all points around the socket, This shall be done by partially tightening the bottom bolt first, then the top bolt, next the bolts at either side, and last, the remaining bolts. This cycle should be repeated until all bolts are within the required range of torques. If effective seal- ing is not attained at the maximum torque, the joint shall. be disassembled and reassenbled after thorough cleaning. Overstressing of bolts to compensate for poor installation practice shall be avoided, C-3.3. Jointing Rubber. Casket Joint Pipe.. Cast iron pipe with rubber gasket type joints shall be laid and jointed in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations as approved by the Engineer and in. accord- ance with the requirements of the Special Specifications, The Contractor shall provide all special tools and devices such as special jacks, chokers, and similar items required for the installation. l,abricant for the pipe gaskets shall be furnished by the pipe manufacturer, and no substitutes will be permitted under any circumstances.. C-3.4. Electrical. Continuity, When so stated in the Special. Speci- fications, the Contractor shall provide adequate means to permit an electirc current to pass across all pipe joints without excessive voltage drop. The electrical connection shall be made by driving silicon-bronze wedges between the barrel of the pipe and the mouth of the bell where joints using rubber rings are employed, Two such wedges shall be installed per joint on opposite sides of the pipe on the horizontal center line. The wedges shall be approxi- mately one inch square and shall be tapered from 1./8 inch to 1/16 inch approxi- mately. The wedges shall have serrated edges to provide good contact. The voltage drop at. .500 amperes current flow shall not exceed 1 .0 volt per joint. �, C-4. Setting Valves and Fi.tti,ngs. C-4.1. General.

A valve box shall be provided for every valve which has no gearing or operating mechanism or in which the gearing or operat- ing mechanism is not fully protected with a cast iron grease case. The valve box shall not transmit shock or stress to the valve and shall be centered and plumb over the wrench nut of the valve with the box cover flush with the sur- face of the finished pavement or such other level. as may be directed by the Engineer. C-5.� Setting L1Ldrants. C-5,1 , Location. Hydrants shall be located as shown on the Plans or as directed by the Engineer in a manner to provide complete accessibility and to minimize the possibility of damage from vehicles or in,jary to pedes- trians. If hydrant locations are not shown on the Plans, the following. condi- tions shall govern: When placed behind the curb and where no lawn space exists, the hydrant barrel shall be sat so that no portion of the pumper or hose nozzle cap will be less than 6 inches nor more than 12 inches from the gutter face of the curb. When set in the lawn space between the ctirb and the sidewalk or between the sidewalk and the property Line, no portion of the hydrant or nozzle cap shall be within. 6 inches of the sidewalk or the gutter face of the curb. C-5.2.= Position. All. hydrants shall stand plumb and shall have their nozzles parallel with or at right angles to the curb with the pumper nozzle facing the curb, except that hydrants having two hose nozzles 90 de- grees apart shall. be set with each nozzle facing the curb at an angle of 45 degrees. Hydrants shall. be set to the established grade with nozzles at least 12 inches above the ground as shown on the -Plans or as directed by the Engineer. C-5.3. Connection to Main. Each hydrant shall be connected to the main with a 6--inch cast iron branch controlled by an independent 6- inch gate valve, unless otherwise specified or shown on. the Plans, C-5.4, Hydrant Drainage, Unless otherwise specified in the Plans or Special Specifications, hydrant drainage shall be provided at: the base of the hydrant by placing gravel or crushed stone from the bottom of the trench to at least 6 inches above the waste opening in the hydrant and to a distance of 1 foot around the elbow. No drainage system shall. be connected to a sewer. A concrete base at least 1.2 inches square by 4 inches deep shall. be provided for all. hydrants, C-6, Anchor ° C-6.J. Limitin Pi a Diameter and Degree of Bend. On all pipe lines 4 inches in diameter or larger., all tees, plugs, caps, and bends exceeding 22-1/2 degrees and other locations where unbalanced forces exist shall be securely anchored by suitable thrust backing as shown on the Plans or herein- after specified. C-°6,2._ Thrust Back_ing.,_ Reaction or thrust backing shall be placed as shown on the Plans and shall consist of concrete of a mix not leaner than one cement, two and one-half sand, five stone, having a compressive strength of not less than 2,000 pounds per square inch. Backing shall be placed be- tween the undisturbed ground and the fitting to be anchored. The quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe shall. be as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. The backing shall be so placed that, unless specifi- cally shown otherwise on the Plans, the pipe and fitting joints will be accessible to repairs, C-6,3. Metal Harness Metal harness or tie rods or clamps of ade- quate strength to prevent movement may be used instead of concrete backing as directed by the Engineer., Steel, rods or clamps shall be galvanized or other- wise rustproof treated as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer, C-6.4. Anchorage of Hydrants. The bowl of each hydrant shall. be well braced against unexcavated earth at the end of the trench with stone slabs or concrete backing, or it shall be tied to the pipe with suitable metal tie rods or clamps as shown on the Plans or directed by the Engineer. C-7, Hydrostatic Tests. Pressure and leakage tests shall be made on all newly laid pipe or any valved section of it, or both, unless otherwise speci- fied in the Special Specifications The Engineer will conduct the tests, but the Contractor shall furnish all necessary assistance, equipment, and material and shall make all taps in the pipe as required. The Contractor shall furnish the following equipment and materials for the tests, unless otherwise specified in the Special Sprecificationsa 2 5-gallon graduated containers 2 Pressure gauges 1 Hydraulic force pump similar and equal to Pacific H.T. 75 as manufactured by the Pacific Pumping Company of Portland, Oregon Suitable hose and suction pipe as required The tests shall be conducted after the trench has been backfil.led or partially backfilled with the joints Left exposed for inspection. Where any section of pipe is provided with concrete reaction backing, the pressure test shall not be made until at least five days have elapsed after the concrete re- action backing is installed, If high-early cement is used for the concrete thrust backing, the time may be cut to two days instead of the five previously specified, Pipes jointed with cement shall not be subjected to hydrostatic pressure and inspected and tested for leakage until at least 36 hours have elapsed after 4. the main is filled with water as specified in Item Cm7e3e The pressure test: shall be conducted in the following manner, unless other- wise specified in the Special Specifications. After the pipe has been back- filled or partially backfilled as hereinbefore specified, the pipe shall be filled with water. Unless stated otherwise in the Special Specifications, the test pressure shall. be 1-1/2 times the normal static pressure, but not less than 50 pounds per square inch, C-7.1. Duration. The duration of each pressure test shall be 30 minutes unless otherwise stated in the Special Specifications. C-7.2. Exselling Air. Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled from the pipe. C-7.3. procedure. Each vaI.ved section of pipe shall be slowly filled with water to replace any lost, and the specified test pressure, mea- sured at the point of lowest elevation, shall be applied by means of a pump connected to the pipe in a satisfactory manner. The pump shall then be valved off, and the pressure shall be held in the line for the test period. At the end of the test. period, the pump shall be operated until the test pressure is again attained. The pump suction shall be in a bucket, barrel, or similar device, or through a meter so that the amount of water required to restore the test pressure may be measured accurately. C-•7.4. Leakage. Leakage shall be defined as the quantity of water necessary �to restore the specified test pressure at the end of the test period. No pipe installation will be accepted until the leakaga is less than the com- ber of gallons per hour as determined by the formula following: L = ND (P)1/2 ^5500 in which L = allowable leakage in gallons per hour N = number of joints in the length of pipe tested D = nominal diameter of pipe in inches P = average test pressure during the leakage test in pounds per square inch C-7.5. Correction of Excessive Leakage, Should any test of pipe laid disclose leakage greater than that allowedunder Item C-7.4 above, the Contractor shall, at his own expense, locate and repair the defective joints or pipe until the leakage is within the specified allowance. C-8. Sterilization. Sterilization of new lines shall. be completed by the Contractor prior to connection to the existing system. Prior to chlorination, all dirt and foreign matter shall be flushed from the line. Water shall then be fed slowly into the new line with chlorine applied in amounts to produce a dosage of 40 to 50 ppm. Treated water shall be retained in the pipe for at least. 8 hours. A residual of not less than 5 ppm shall be produced in all parts of the line after the 8-hour period has elapsed. The chlorinating agent .shall. be either a liquid chlorine gas-water mix- ture, direct.-fed chlorine gas, or a calcium hypochlorite and water moisture. Chlorine gas-water mixture shall be applied by means of a solution-feed chlorinating device, Chlorine gas shall be fed directly from a chlorine cylin- der equipped with suitable device for regulating the rate of flow and provid- ing for effective diffusion of gas within the pipe. Calcium hypochlorite shall be similar and equal to commercial products known as H.T.H. , Perchloron, or Maxochlor> A solution consisting of 5 percent powder to 95 percent water by weight should be prepared. The calcium hypochlorite and water mixture, first made into a paste and then thinned to a slurry, shall be injected or pumped into the newly laid line under the conditions specified hereinbefore,. The method of placing concentrated quantities of commercial sterilizers in the line as it is being laid is not a satisfactory method of sterilization and will not be permitted. During the chlorination process, all valves in the main line shall be operated. After chlorination, the water shall be flushed from the line at its extremities until the water tests are equal. chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of supply..
