days in advance of construction to permit arrangements with. the utility com-
pany involved for protection or relocation of the structure. Such structures
will not be considered to interfere unless the near edge of the structure is t
within three (3) feet of the trench center line, except that any such structure
that is to be protected as called for on the Plans shall not be considered'an

All bituminous type pavements requiring surface repair shall be cut prior
to excavation with an approved pavement breaker. The width of pavement cut
shall be at least equal to the regiii.red width of the trench at ground surface.
Pavement removed during excavation shall not be used in the backfill of the
trench.
If the Contractor encounters existing facilities which will prevent the
construction of any facility and which are not properly sho~,~n on the Plans, he
shall notify the Engineer before contisiuins with the construction in order that
the Engineer may make such field revisions as necessary to avoid conflict with
the existing structures. Tt~e cost of waiting or "down" time during such field
revision shall be borne by tt~e Contractor without additional cost to the Owner.
If the Contractor shall fail to notify the Engineer when an existing structure
is encountered, but shall proceed with ttie construction despite this interfer-
ence, he shall do so at his own risk. In particular, when the location of ttie
new construction will prohibit ttie restoration of existing structures to their
original conditions, the Contractor s}iall notify tt~e Engineer so a field relo-
cation may be made if possible to avoid the conflict.

I}. Field Relocation. During the progress of construction, it is possible that
minor relocations may be necessary. Such relocations shall be made only by dir-
ection of the Engineer. Unforeseen obstructions encountered as a result of such
relocations will not be subject for claims for additional compensation by the
Contractor to any greater extent than would have been tl~e case had the obstruc-
tion been encountered along or in the original location.
E. Public Safety and Convenience. The Contractor shall comply with all rules
and regulations of the City, County, and State authorities regarding the closing
of public streets or Highways to the use of public traffic. No road shall be
closed by the Contractor to the public except by express permission of the Engi-
neer. Traffic must be kept open on roads and streets where a detour is impos-
sible. The Contractor shall, at all times, conduct his work so as to assure the
Least possible obstruction to traffic and normal commercial pursuites. All
obstructions within traveled roadways shall be protected by approved signs, bar-
ricades, and lights where necessary or ordered by the Engineer for the safety
of the traveling public. The convenience of the general public and residents
along the route of construction and the protection of persons and property is ~~
of prime importance and shall be provided for by the Contractor in an adequate
and satisfactory manner.
The Contractor shall use every reasonable precaution to safeguard the persons
and property of the traveling public. Failure of the Engineer to notify the Con-
tractor to maintain barricades, barriers, lights, flares, danger signals, or watch-
men ;hall not relieve the Contractor from his responsibility. All barricades and
obstructions shall be protected at night by signal lights which shall be suitably
distributed across the roadiaay and kept burning from sunset to sunrise.
Whenever the Contractor's operations create a hazardous condition, he shall
furnish flagmen and guards as necessary or as ordered by the Engineer to give
adequate warning to the public of any dangerous conditions to be encountered. He
shall furnish, erect, end maintain approved fences, barricades, lights, signs,
and any other devices that may be necessary to prevent accidents and to avoid
damage and injury to the public. Flagmen and guards, while on duty and assigned
to give warning to the public, shall be equipped with approved red wearing apparel
and a red flag which shall be kept clean and in good repair. _
The_Contractor will be required to confine construction operations_within
_.. ~_

either because of the absence of the grantors or beca~ise of impractical
--
demands by the grantors, then t_he Engineer may caaive this requirement, if:,
. _._-.,_
in his opinion, the Contractor has fulfilled his obligations. ,
G. Contractor's Responsibilit for Utilit Properties and Services. At points
where the Contractor's operations are adjacent to or cross properties of tele-
graph, telephone, irrigation or canal, power, oil, gas, water, and petroleum
companies or are adjacent to other property (damage to which mig}it result in con-
siderable expense, Loss, and inconvenience), no work shall be started until all
arrangements necessary for the protection thereof have been made. Unless other-
wise specified herein or show-n on the Plans, utility poles less than three (3)
feet from the trench center line will be moved or removed at no cost to t}ie Con-
tractor. It shall be the Contractor's responsibiility to protect from damage
all other utilities.
The Contractor shall be solely and directly responsible to the owners and
operators of such properties for any damage, injury, expense, loss, inconven-
ience: delay, suits, actions, or claims of any character brought because of any
injuries or damage which may result from the carrying out of the work to be done
under the Contract.
In the event of interruption to either domestic or irrigation water or to
other utility services as a result of accidental breakage or as a result of
being exposed or unsupported, the Contractor shall promptly notify the proper
authority. He shall cooperate with the said authority in restoration of service
as promptly as possible and shall bear alI costs of repair. In no case shall
interruption of any water or utility service be allowed to exist outside working
- hours unless prior approval of the Engineer is received. ----
The locations of the major existing water lines, irrigation lines, and
utilities as shown on the Plans, were obtained by field survey and are gener-
ally reliable. However, it should be expected that some location discrepancies
might occur.
Neither the Owner nor its officers or agents shall be responsible for dam-
ages to the Contractor as a result of the locations of the water lines, irriga-
tion Lines, or utilities being ot}ier than t}~ose shown on the Plans or for the
existance of water lines, irrigation lines, or utilities not shown on the Plans.

H. Land Monuments. The Contractor shall preserve existing City, County, State
and Federal land monuments wherever possible. j~hen these monuments cannot be
preserved, the Contractor shall notify the Engineer at least forty-eight (4 $}
hours in advance of ttie proposed construction in order that the Engineer will
have ample opportunity to reference these monuments for later replacement.
I. Construction Sequence. Construction through farm lands and cultivated
areas shall be done during the non-irrigation season, unless the Contractor
makes prior arrangements caith the property owners involved. The non-irriga-
tion season is generally defined to be from October 15 of a year to March 15
of the following year.

plete the construction specified hereunder.
B. Materials.
1. Excavation. The excavation is unclassified. All excavation of any
character shall be accomplished under the appropriate pay item for the type and
size of pipe being installed.
2. Gravel for Foundation Stabilization. Gravel for foundation stabilization
shall be clean, pit-run gravel or crushed rock, reasonably evenly graded from
coarse to fine. Maximum size shall be three (3) inches.
3. Bedding Material. Material for pipe bedding shall be clean pea gravel
or crushed rock with a maximum size of three-quarter (3/4) inch, uniformly
graded from coarse to fine. Clean beach, pit-run or reject crusher run sand
may be substituted for gravel in trenches with no groundwater in the pipe zone.
Samples of all materials to be used for bedding shall be submitted for the
Engineer's approval prior to construction.
4. Select Backfill Piaterial.Select backfill material in the pipe zone
shall contain no pieces of material larger than one (1) inch.
5. Water for Backfill. It will be the Contractor's responsibility to make
all necessary arrangements for a source of water during all periods of construc-
tion and to make all arrangements for delivery of the water to the trench.
Water is available from the City of Pieridian's municipal water system,
however, the Contractor shall take water only from the points and at times speci-
fied by the City. No charge will be made to the Contractor by the City for water
used in the construction of the Project.
C. Workmanship.
1. Clearing the Rifiht of Way. Where clearing of the right of way is
necessary, it shall be completed prior to the start of the trenching. Brush
-115-
shall be cut as near to the surface of the ground as practicable and piled for.
.removal to a disposal site approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall obser~re
all Federal and State laws relating to fire permits and local regulations rela-
ting to burning materials. Under no conditions shall excavated materials be per-
muted to cover brush prior to clearing and disposal of same.
2• Obstructions. This item refers to obstructions which may be removed
and do not require replacement. Obstructions to the construction of the trencl;
such as, but not limited to, tree roots, stumps, abandoned concrete structures
and debris of all types shall be removed by the Contractor at his own expense
without additional compensation.
3. Sod Removal. In all cases where trench excavation crosses areas where
grass exists, the Contractor shall remove the sod prior to the start of excava-
tion. The sod shall be neatly cut, removed and stockpiled for replacement after
trench backfill has been completed.
4. Removal of Topsoil. In all cases where trenches cross areas where
existing topsoil must be_replaced,_the~topsol shall first~be removed for a
_ t,
depth of twely.e__._(12)__inches,_for__the full width of the trench to be excavated.
~__ _
The topsoil shall be_stockpiled to one side of_the right of way and not mixed
with the remaining excavated material. The topsoil shall be replaced in the
_. _. _
._~__ _
`top on.e (I)`~oot of the backfilled trench rinimum finished depth of topsoil
oveY~~x1-t"r"enches where topsoil existed prior to excavation shall be not less
~~han ten (10) inches.... _. .._ ... __
S. Trenches. Trench excavation shall be to the lines and grade as estab-
lished by conventional practice or as ordered by the Engineer. The width of the
trench at the top of the pipe shall not be less than twelve (12) inches or more
than twenty-four (24) inches wider than the outside diameter of the pipe to be
laid. The trench shall be adequately and properly timbered or shored. The Con-
tractor shall be responsible for the adequacy of all shoring, sheeting, and brac-
ing. Where the bottom of the trench encounters cemented gravels, stones greater
than one and one-half (1-1/2) inches, or unstable conditions due to ground water,
and in other areas as directed by the Engineer, excavation shall extend to four
(4) inches below the line of the pipe bell and then be backfiiled and tamped
with approved bedding material to farm a cradle for the pipe. Except where
stones, cemented gravels, or unstable conditions due to ground water occur,
trench excavation shall first be made to a plaice one (1) inch above the fin-
ished grade. The final or finished excavation including bell holes and shaped
subgrade shall be made just ahead of pipe laying. All irregularities in the
trench bottom shall be removed by appropriate excavation or backfill. Bell
holes shall be excavated for bell and spigot pipe of sufficient dimensions to
permit pipe laying to work freely and to positively avoid the bell carrying any
weight or loading stresses and so that the pipe shall have a firm bearing of not
less than three-fourths (3/4) of the length of the barrel. In dry trench condi-
tions, the subgrade shall be rounded for approximately one-half (1/2) of the out-
side diameter of the pipe as shown on the Plans, before the pipe is laid. Trenches
shall be kept free of water unless otherwise approved by the Engineer until the
pipe is laid and the joints are completed.
6.' Location of Excavated Taterials. During trench excavation, the Con-
tractor shall locate the excavated material so it will not completely obstruct
-116-
--~
`:, , ~
the traveled roadways or streets. Unless otherwise approved, all streets and
roadways shall be kept open to at least one-way traffic.
7. Removal of Water. The Contractor shall_ provide and maintain ample
means and devices with which to promptly remove and dispose of all water enter-
ing the trench excavation during .the time the trench is being prepared for the
pipe laying, during the laying of the pipe, and until the backfill at the pipe
zone leas been completed. The Contractor shall dispose of the water in a suitable
manner without damage to adjacent property.
$. Initial Backfill. After the pipe lengths have been jointed, the bell
holes and sides of the pipe shall. be carefully backfilled and thoroughly com-
pacted, supplemented by "walking in" and with approved backfill_ material in
layers not to exceed six (6) inches in thickness. The initial backfill shall
be continued in layers not to exceed six (6} inches in thickness until the
backfill is twelve (12) inches above the top of the pipe. -When the trench
excavation and/or trench wall material is deemed by the Engineer to be unsuit-
abie, the Contractor shall place select backfill material in the initial
backfill pipe zone. Upon approval of the Engineer, select backfill material f-
oray be obtained by screening the excavated trench material in lieu of import-
ing similar material. Under no conditions will puddling be permitted for this
initial backfill.
9. Trench Backfill. After initial backfill, the trench may be backfilled
with the material: excavated provided, however, that rocks of over eight (8)
- inches maximum dimensicn and other deleterious material, if present in the
excavated material, are removed. Material containing frost shall not be used
for backfill. The first one (1) foot of backfill above the initial backfill
shall be given careful attention as to composition. The entire backfill is to
be puddled or firmly ,compacted, as hereinafter stipulated or by other methods,
if approved by the Engineer.
10. Puddling. All trench backfill shall be puddled. Puddling of the
trench backfill shall be acceptable within the Ada County Highway right-of-way
only at locations where the Contractor has received specific approval from the
Ada County Highway District. Puddling shall be accomplished by first backfil-
13.ng the trench to within approximately six (6) inches of the original or pro-
posed surface elevation of the travelway, then water shall be added to the trench
for its entire length until it is evident that the backfill material is saturated
with water. Additional backfill material is to be added to the trench to compen-
sate for the settlement incurred by the puddling in such an amount as to bring
final backfill material to within twelve (I2) inches of the original or proposed
finished grade. Any excess excavated material remaining alongside the trer,.cil is
to be removed and disposed of by the Contractor. The remaining twelve (12) inches
of the unfilled trench is to be backfilled in accordance with the type of surface
repair required or with topsoil where surface repair is not required.
11. Pechanical Tamping. Trench backf ill for areas within Ada County Highway
District right-of-way where permission has not been granted to use puddling shall
be compacted in accordance with the applicable portions of Section 210 of the Stan-
dard Specifications for Highway Construction of the State of Idaho, Division of
Highways, latest edition. Compaction of backfill done by mechanical tamping; sh;ill
be done in layers not exceeding eight (8) inches in thickness by successively
-111-
`~
.~
• ~ } ~/ "~-
placing and compacting approved backfill material to a point twelve (12.) inches
below the existing street grade or to the underside of the first ballast course,
whichever is lowest. Sufficient water must be added as needed to acquire the
specified degree of compaction. The remaining portion of the trench is to be
completed in accordance with the appropriate surface repair requirements.
12. Excess Excavation Material. All excess excavated material from trench
excavation and backfill operations shall be hauled ac-gay and disposed of by the
Contractor at locations approved by the Engineer.
13. Surface Runoff Water. The Contractor shall at all times protect any
open trench from the entrance of surface runoff water due to storms, irrigation,
or mishandling of puddling or compacting water by any Contractor within the work
