work with his own organization and is equipped to do so, or unless the
District determines that the performance of specialty work by specialty
contractors will result in increased cost or inordinate delays, provided

all necessary facilities, labor and materials. If such work is found to be
defective in any respect due to fault of the Contractor or his subcontractor,

reconstruction. If, however, such work is found to meet the requirements of
the contract, the additional cost of labor and material necessarily involved
in the examination and replacement plus fifteen percent (15%) shall be
allowed the Contractor. Where the Specifications require work to be
specifically tested or approved, it shall not be tested or covered up with-
out timely notice to the District's Engineer of its readiness for inspection,

class. For example, pipe identified as 1C-241I-150 would be the designation
for bidding schedule 1C, 24" nominal diameter pipe, 150 p.s.i. working pressure*
C. Installation
C-l. Excavation and Backfill: Excavation and backfill shall conform to
the Standard Specifications for Earthwork,
C-2* Installation Procedures and Workmanship; Prior to laying the pipe,
the bottom of the trench shall be graded and prepared to provide a firm
and uniform bearing throughout the entire length of each joint of pipe.
Sell holes of ample dimension shall be dug in the bottom of the trench
at the location of each joint to facilitate the joining. The trench shall
have a flat or semi-circular bottom conforming to the grade to which the
pipe is to be laid. Pipe shall not be laid on earth mounds.
When the pipe is being laid* the ends of the pipe shall be thoroughly
cleaned and the gasket placed in the groove on the spigot ring and the
spigot end of the pipe shall then be entered into the bell of the adjoining
pipe and forced into position. The gasket and the inside surface of the
bell shall be lubricated with a suitable vegetable soap compound which
will facilitate the telescoping of the joints. Just prior to joining the
two ends together, each end of the pipe shall be "buttered" with cement
mortar in such a manner and in sufficient quantity to completely fill the
space between the respective mortar linings. After the joining is corrir-
pleted the pipe interior shall be swabbed to remove all excess mortar
by drawing an approved type swab or squeegie through the pipe. For pipe
twenty-four inches (24") in nominal diameter and larger^ the inside of
the joints shall be pointed by hand.
The outside joint recess shall be poured with grout after a felt sheet or
other suitable material has first been placed around the pipes at the joints
and held securely in place to prevent leakage while the joint is being
poured. The grout shall consist of one part cement to one and one-half
Concrete Cylinder Pipe Std. - 1
parts sand and be mixed to the consistency of thick cream. The joints
shall be poured and rodded from one side only until the grout shows on
the other side. Care shall be used to fill the joint completely.
Approximately two hours subsequent to the pouring of the jointi the joint
shall be rechecked and if any settlement, leakage, or shrinkage has taken
place, the joint shall be refilled with grout.
C-3. Field Wplded Joints: Where welded joints are designated on the plans,
the pipe shall first be joined with rubber gaskets as above described.
The outside recess between the bell and spigot may then be filled with
wire to facilitate the welding. The weld shall be continuous for the full
circumference of the joint.

anchored. Quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe and
undisturbed soil shall be as shown on the plans or directed by the
Engineer. The concrete shall be so placed, unless specifically shown
otherwise on the plans, that the pipe joints and fittings will be
accessible to repairs.
C-E. Preventing Foreign Matter From Entering the Pipes: At times when
the pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of the pipe shall be
closed by a wooden plug or by other means approved by the Engineer. This
provision shall apply during the noon hour as well as over night.
C-6. Testing: After the pipe has been laid, the pipeline or any valved
section of it shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of fifty
pounds per square inch (50 p.s.i.) in excess of the designated working
pressure for the Class of pipe being tested.
Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled
from the pipe. To accomplish this, if air valves, or hydrants or other
outlets are not available, taps shall be made at the point of highest
elevation to expell the air and these taps shall be tightly plugged
afterwards.
The duration of the pressure test shall be four hours. The water necessary
to maintain this pressure shall be measured through a meter or by other
means satisfactory to the Engineer. The leakage shall be considered as
the total amount of water entering the pipe and no allowance will be made
for leakage through valves, bulkheads or other openings. Leakage shall
not exceed the rate of twenty (20) gallons per inch of diameter per
twenty-four (24) hours per mile of pipe. Any noticeable leak shall be
stopped and any defective pipe shall be repaired or replaced with new
sections and retested as specified above before final approval and
acceptance of the work. All labor, materials, tools and equipment for the
test, including water, shall be furnished by and at the expense of the
Contractor.

All defective fittings; valves and other accessories discovered in
consequence of the test, shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor
with sound material and the tests shall be repeated until the total
leakage during a test of four (4) hours durationi does not exceed the
rate specified above.
All concrete anchor blocks shall be allowed to cure for at least five (£)
days prior to testing and all mortared joints shall be allowed to cure for
not less than three (3) days prior to testing.
C-7. Sterilization: Subsequent to the pressure tests and prior to
acceptance of the work» the entire pipeline including all valves» fittings
and other accessories shall be sterilized in accordance with American
Water Works Association "Standard Procedure for Disinfecting itfater Maine
AW/A C601-54".
Treated water shall be retained in the pipes for at least twenty-four (24)
hours and a residule at not less than five (5) ppm shall be produced in
all parts of the line after the twenty-four (24) hour period has elapsed.
During the sterilization process all valves and other accessories shall
be operated. After chlorination, the water shall be flushed from the
line at its extremities until the replacement water tests are equal
chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of
supply.
The water required for sterilization and flushing shall be furnished by
and at the expense of the Contractor.
D. Measurement and Payment
Measurement and payment for concrete cylinder pip^e and fittings will be made

C-2. Installation Procedures and Workmanship; The pipe shall be laid
true to line and grade and at the locations as herein specified or as
indicated on the contract drawings.
Circumferential field joints shall be made in a substantial and workman-
like manner, using approved materials for the type of joint specified.
Special care shall be taken to avoid damaging the interior lining and
exterior coating during the lowering of the pipe into the trench and the
making of the field joints. Just prior to joining the two (2) ends
together* each end of the pipe shall be "buttered" with cement mortar
in such a manner and in sufficient quantity to fill completely the
space between the respective mortar linings, After the jointing is
completed the pipe interior shall be swabbed to remove all excess
mortar by drawing an approved type swab or squeegee through the pipe.
For pipe 24 inches in diameter and larger the inside of the joint shall
be hand pointed. After the field joints have been completed and
inspected, one (1) of the following coatings shall be applied as
appropriate:
(a) Cement mortar coating shall be applied over the joint and lapped
and bonded with the existing coating on the pipe in such a manner as to
insure a continuous uniform protection over the entire pipeline. Each
section shall be shaded with backfill material immediately after
installation to prevent any contraction at the joint from temperature
change; or
(b) The joint exterior shall be thoroughly cleaned and a prime coat
of Union Bituminous Primer or approved equal shall be applied. After
the prime coat has dried Cg- to 2 hours), a hot sling ccat (350° to
400° F.) of Union Pipe Dip or approved equal shall be applied* and the
joint space shall be filled with the bituminous material. The joints
shall then be wrapped as provided herein for pipe coating.
C-3. Concrete Thrust Blocks: Concrete thrust blocks shall be placed
as shown on the Plans and shall consist of Class "B"> portland cement
concrete containing not less than five (5) sacks of portland cement
per cubic yard, and shall conform to the applicable provisions of

Works, Division of Highways Standard Specifications* dated August 1954f
except thaf cement used shall conform to ASTM Specifications C 150-49»
Type II. Concrete blocks shall be placed between the undisturbed
ground and the fitting to be anchored. Quantity of concrete and the
area of bearing on the pipe and undisturbed soil shall be as shown on
the Plans or directed by the Engineer. The concrete shall be so placed,
unless specifically shown otherwise on the Plans, that the pipe joints
and fittings will be accessible to repairs.
C-4. Testing; After the pipe has been laid, the pipeline or any
valved section of it shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test
of fifty pounds per square inch (50 psi) in excess of the designated
working pressure for the class of pipe being tested.
Before applying the specified test pressure, all air shall be expelled
from the pipe. To accomplish this if air valves or hydrants or ether
outlets are not available, taps shall be made at the point of highest
elevation to expell the air and these taps shall be tightly plugged
afterwards. ?• : '

The duration of the pressure test shall be four (4) hours. The water
necessary to maintain this pressure shall be measured through a meter
or by other means satisfactory to the Engineer. The leakage shall be
considered as the total amount of water entering the pipe and no
allowance will be made for leakage through valves* bulkheads or other
openings. Leakage shall not exceed the rate of twenty (20) gallons per
inch of diameter per twenty-four (24) hours per mile of pipe. Any
noticeable leak shall be stopped and any defective pipe shall be
repaired or replaced with new sections and retested as specified above
before final approval and acceptance of the work. All labor» materials»
tools and equipment for thetesti including wateri shall be furnished by
and at the expense of the Contractor.
All defective fittings* valves and other accessories discovered in
consequence of the test shall be removed and replaced by the Contractor
with sound material and the tests shall be repeated until the total
leakage during a test of four (4) hours duration does not exceed the
rate specified above.
All concrete anchor blocks shall be allowed to cure for at least five
(5) days prior to testing and all mortared joints shall be allowed to
cure for not less than three (3) days prior to testing.
C-5. Sterilization: Subsequent to the pressure tests and prior to
acceptance of the work, the entire pipeline including all valves*
fittings and other accessories shall be sterilized in accordance with
American Water Works Association "Standard Procedure for Disinfecting
Water Mains AWWA C 601-54".
Treated water shall be retained in the pipes for at least twenty-four
(24) hours and a residual at not less than five (5) ppm shall be
produced in all parts of the line after the twenty-four (24) hour period
has elapsed.
During the sterilization process all valves and other accessories shall
be operated. After chlorination, the water shall be flushed from the
line at its extremities until the replacement water tests are equal
chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of
supply.
The water required for sterilization and flushing shall be furnished
by and at the expense of the Contractor.
D. Measurement and Payment;
D-l. Measurement; The quantity of steel pipe water main and fittings
for which payment shall be made shall be the length actually installed
by the Contractor complete in place and ready for operation in accord-
ance with the contract drawings and Specifications. Measurement will
be made along the centerline of the pipe from pipe end to valve flange
or to centerline of intersecting pipe, as the case may be.
D-2. Payment; The price paid per linear foot for steel pipe water main
and fittings shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor,
