doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Plans, Specifications, or other
Contract Documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from the Plans and
Specifications or other Contract Documents, he may submit to the Engineer, who

Carlsbad MWD
62-5200-00-00 Information for Bidders - 3
8. STATE LABOR AND MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS;
Attention is called to the State Labor and Material Requirements, which form
a part of the Contract and/or Specifications.
9. WITHDRAWAL OF BID;
Any bidder may withdraw his bid either personally or by a signed written
request any time prior to the scheduled time for opening of the bids (but not
after).
10. AWARD OR REJECTION OF BIDS;
The Contract will be awarded to the lowest bidder complying with these instruc-
tions and with the Notice Inviting Sealed Proposals. The District, however,
reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to waive any informality in
bids received. If in the judgment of the District a bid is unbalanced, or if
the bidder is not responsible, it shall be considered sufficient grounds for
rejection of the entire bid.
No bidder may withdraw his bid for a period of thirty (30) days after the time
set for the opening of bids. The District will return all proposals and guar-
antees within ten (10) days after the execution of the Contract by the success-
ful bidder, or rejection of all bids, or upon receipt of a written request
therefor received thirty (30) days after said bids are opened, as the case may
be, to the respective bidders whose proposals they accompanied.
11. BIDDERS INTERESTED IN MORE THAN ONE BID;
No person, firm or corporation shall be allowed to make or file, or be inter-
ested in more than one (1) bid for the same work, unless alternative bids are
called for. A person, firm or corporation submitting a subproposal to a
bidder, or who has quoted prices on material to a bidder, is not thereby dis-
qualified from submitting a subproposal or quoting prices to other bidders.
12. ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACT;
No assignment by the Contractor of the Contract to be entered into hereunder
or of any part thereof, or of funds to be received thereunder by the Contractor
will be recognized by the District unless such assignment has had the prior
approval of the District, and the Surety has been given due notice of such

rected to "Subcontracting" of the Standard Provisions.
13. OTHER REQUIREMENTS;
Before entering into a contract, the bidder to whom the Contract has been
awarded shall furnish satisfactory evidence that he has secured for the period
of the Contract full workmen's compensation insurance and public liability and
property damage insurance, as specified in the Special Provisions from a respon-
sible insurance company authorized to do business in California, and such insur-
Carlsbad MWD
62-5200-00-00 Information for Bidders - 4
ance shall be maintained in full force and effect at his own expense during
the life of the Contract.
Before award of the Contract, any bidder upon request shall furnish a recent
statement of his financial condition and previous construction experience
or such other evidence of his qualifications, as may be required by the Board
of Directors of the District.
14. PERMITS AND LICENSES;
The Contractor's attention is directed to the PERMITS AND LICENSES SECTION of
the Special Provisions.
15. TIME FOR COMPLETION;
Bidder's attention is called to the Special Provisions.
16. ENGINEER'S ESTIMATE;
The preliminary estimate of quantities of work to be done and materials to be
furnished are approximately as shown in the Contract Documents, and are given
as a basis for the comparison of bids; the District does not expressly or by
implication agree that the actual amount of work will correspond therewith but
reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any item or portion
of the work or to omit portions of the work that may be deemed necessary or
expedient by its Engineer or by the District. The bidder shall not at any
time after the submission of their bids have any claim for damages as a
result of lowering of anticipated profits or the loss of profits because of
any difference between the quantities of work actually done and those stated
in the bidding sheets.
The Contractor is cautioned against unbalancing his bid by including more
than the pro-rata share of his overhead and profit in any item. Each bid
item should be priced to carry its share of the cost, overhead and profit.
17. ALTERNATE EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS;
In accordance with Section 4380 of the Government Code of the State of
California the Contractor shall submit data substantiating requests for sub-
stitution of "equal" items within thirty-five (35) days after award of the
contract. This 35-day period of time is included in the number of days allowed
for the completion of the work set forth in the Section on "Time for
Completion - Extension of Time" in the Special Provisions.

contained in the contract documents. The District, however, reserves the

shall be executed in original-triplicates, one of which original-triplicate
shall be filed with the District, and the others with the Attorney and the
Engineer for the District.
(e) Failure to Execute Contract; Failure to execute the contract and file
acceptable bonds and proof of insurance coverage as provided herein within
the time set forth above shall be just cause for the annulment of the award
and the forfeiture of the proposal guaranty.
SECTION II - SCOPE OF WORK
(a) Work to be Done; The work to be done consists of furnishing all labor,
materials, methods or processes, implements, tools, and machinery which are
required for or appurtenant to, the construction and completion of the entire
project designated in the Contract, and to leave the grounds in a neat con-
dition. Any work not shown in the Plans or Specifications but necessary to
complete the work according to law, and Governmental Codes and Regulations
shall be performed by the Contractor as if in the Plans and Specifications.
(b) Extra, Additional or Omitted Work; The District upon proper action by
its Board of Directors may require changes in, additions to or deductions from
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 1
the work to be performed or to the materials to be furnished pursuant to the
provisions of the agreement or any other contract document. Adjustment, if
any, in the amounts to be paid to the Contractor, by reason of any such change,
addition or deduction, shall be determined by one or more of the following
methods:
By an acceptable lump sum proposal from the Contractor.
By unit prices contained in the Contractor's original bid and in-
corporated in the contract documents or fixed by subsequent agree-
ment between the District and the Contractor.
By ordering the Contractor to proceed with the work and to keep and
present in such form as the District may direct, a correct amount of
the cost of the change, together with all vouchers therefor. The cost
may include allowance for overhead and profit not to exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the net cost.
No extra work shall be performed or change made unless in the pur-
suance of a written order from the District stating that the extra
work or change is authorized, and setting forth the basis upon which
payment therefor is to be made, and no claim for an addition to the
contract sum shall be valid unless so ordered, provided however, that
nothing in this article shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding
with the prosecution of the work so changed. The Contractor shall,
when required by the District, furnish an itemized breakdown of the
quantities and prices used in computing the value of any change that
might be ordered.
(c) Removal of Obstructions: The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all

law to be removed by the owner thereof, all such improvements shall be re-
moved, maintained and permanently replaced by the Contractor at his expense.
(d) Public Utilities; In case it should be necessary to move the property
of any owner of a public utility or franchise, the cost of which, because
of the terms of any franchise or for any other reason, must be borne by the
owner thereof, such owner shall upon proper application by the Contractor be
notified by the District's Representative to move such property within a
specified reasonable time, and the Contractor shall not interfere with said
property until after the expiration of the time specified.
In case it should be necessary to move or temporarily maintain the property
of any public utility or any other property, the cost of which is not required
to be borne by the owner thereof, the Contractor' shall bear all expenses inci-
dental to the removal or temporary maintenance of such property in a manner
satisfactory to the owner thereof; it being understood that in such cases the
owner has the option of doing such work with his own forces, or permitting the
work to be done by the Contractor.
The right is reserved to Governmental Agencies and to owners of public
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 2
utilities and franchises to enter at any time upon any street, alley, right of
way or easement for the purpose of making changes in their property made nec-
essary by the work, for the purpose of maintaining and making repairs to their
property.
(e) Final Clean-up; Upon completion and before making application for accep-
tance of the work, the Contractor shall clean all rights of way, streets, borrow
pits, and all other grounds occupied by him in connection with the work of all
rubbish, excess materials, temporary structures and equipment, and all parts of
the work shall be left in a neat and presentable condition.
SECTION III - CONTROL OF THE WORK
(a) Authority of the District's Representative; The District's Representative
shall decide any and all questions which may arise as to the quality or accept-
ability of materials furnished and work performed, and as to the manner of per-
formance and rate of progress of the work, all questions as to the interpretation
of the Plans and Specifications and all questions as to the acceptable fulfill-
ment of the Contract on the part of the Contractor. The District's Representative
may be represented on the work by duly authorized assistants.
(b) Plans: The approved Plans shall be supplemented by such working drawings
as are necessary to control the work adequately. All such drawings shall be
consistent with the contract documents, true developments thereof, and reason-
ably inferable therefrom. All such drawings delivered to the Contractor shall
be deemed written instructions to the Contractor.
The District will furnish to the Contractor, free of charge, all copies of
drawings and Specifications reasonably necessary for the execution of the
work. The Contractor shall keep one set of drawings and Specifications in
good order available to the District's Representative and to his representatives
at the site of the work.
The Plans for the work show conditions as they are supposed or believed by
the Engineer to exist; but it is not intended or to be inferred that the con-
ditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the District or its
officers that such conditions are actually existent. The District, any of
its officers, and the Engineer shall not be liable for any loss sustained by
the Contractor as a result of any variance of the conditions as shown on the
Plans and the actual conditions revealed during the progress of the work, or
otherwise.
(c) Conformity with Plans and Allowable Deviations; Finished surfaces in
all cases shall conform with the lines, elevations, grades, cross sections,
and dimensions shown on the Plans, or if no specific elevations are shown on
the Plans, the elevations and grades furnished by the District's Representative
shall govern.
(d) Coordination of Plans and Specifications; The Plans, Specifications, and
all supplementary documents are essential parts of the Contract and a require-
ment occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are
intended to be cooperative and to describe and provide for a complete work.
In the event of an apparent difference between Plans and Specifications, refer-
ence shall be made to the District's Representative, whose decision thereon
shall be final.
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 3
(e) Interpretation of Plans and Specifications; Should it appear that the
work to be done or any of the matters relative thereto are not sufficiently
detailed or explained in the Specifications or on the Plans, the Contractor
shall apply to the District's Representative for such further explanations
as may be necessary and shall conform to them as part of the Contract, so
far as may be consistent with the original Specifications; and in the event
of any doubt or question arising respecting the true meaning of the Specifi-
cations, reference shall be made to the District's Representative, whose decision
thereon shall be final.
In the event of any discrepancy between any drawing and the figures written
thereon, the figures shall be taken as correct.
(f) Supervision by the Contractor: The Contractor shall give efficient super-
vision to the work, using his best skill and attention. Unless personally pres-
ent on the premises where the work is done, the Contractor shall designate and
keep an agent or representative on the work at all times during its progress,
and any written or verbal directions or requests of the District's Represent-
ative delivered to such representative shall have the same force and effect
as if delivered to the Contractor personally.
(g) Inspection: The District's Representative shall at all times have access
to the work during construction and shall be furnished with every reasonable
facility for ascertaining full knowledge respecting the progress, workmanship
and character of materials used and employed in the work.
Whenever the Contractor varies the period during which work is carried on
each day, he shall give due notice to the District's Representative so that
proper inspection may be provided. Any work done in the absence of the Dis-
trict's Representative will be subject to rejection.
No materials shall be installed until approved by the District's Representative
or his representative. All installations which are to be backfilled shall be
inspected and approved by the District's Representative prior to backfilling
and the Contractor shall give due notice in advance of backfilling to the Dis-
trict's Representative so that proper inspection may be provided.
The inspection of the work shall not relieve the Contractor of any of his
obligations to fulfill the Contract as prescribed. Defective work shall be
made good, and unsuitable materials may be rejected notwithstanding the fact
that such defective work and unsuitable materials have been previously over-
looked by the District's Representative and accepted or estimated for payment.
Any defective material or workmanship, or any unfaithful or imperfect work
which may be discovered before the final acceptance of the work shall be corrected
immediately on the requirement of the Engineer, or if such should be dis-
covered within one year after the final acceptance, it shall be corrected
immediately on demand of the District. All such corrections of defective
materials or workmanship, or any unfaithful or imperfect work shall be made
by the Contractor without extra charge, notwithstanding that it may have
been overlooked in previous inspections and estimates.
(h) Removal of Defective and Unauthorized Work: All work which has been re-
jected shall be remedied, or removed and replaced by the Contractor in an
acceptable manner and no compensation will be allowed him for such removal
or replacement. Any work done beyond the lines and grades shown on the Plans
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 4
or established by the District's Representative, or any extra work done with-
out written authority, will be considered as unauthorized and will not be paid
for. Work so done may be ordered removed at the Contractor's expense. Upon
failure on the part of the Contractor to comply promptly with any order of the
District's Representative made under the provisions of this Article, the Dis-
trict's Representative shall have authority to cause defective work to be re-
medied or removed and replaced, and unauthorized work to be removed, and to
deduct the costs from any monies due or to become due the Contractor.
(i) Temporary Suspension of Work; The District's Representative shall have
the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part for such time as he may
deem necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out
orders given, or to perform any provisions of the Contract. The Contractor
shall immediately comply with the written order of the District's Represent-
ative to suspend the work wholly or in part. The work shall be resumed when
methods or defective work are corrected as ordered or approved in writing by
the District's Representative.
In the event that a suspension of work is ordered as provided above, such sus-
pension of work shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to com-
plete the work within the time limit specified, and shall not be considered
cause for extension of the time for completion, and further, such suspension
of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.
(j) Errors or Discrepancies Noted by Contractor: If the Contractor, either
before commencing work or in the course of the work, finds any discrepancy
between the Specifications and the drawings, or between either of them and the
physical conditions at the site of the work, or finds any error or omission in
any of the drawings or in any survey, he shall promptly notify the District's
Representative in writing of such discrepancy, error or omission. If the Con-
tractor observes that any drawings or Specifications are at variance with any
applicable law, ordinance, regulation, order or decree, he shall promptly
notify the District's Representative in writing of such conflict.
The District's Representative, on receipt of any such notice, shall promptly
investigate the circumstances and give appropriate instructions to the Con-
tractor. Until such instructions are given, any work done by the Contractor,
either directly or indirectly after his discovery of such error, discrepancy
or conflict, will be at his own risk and he shall bear all costs rising there-
from.
(k) Equipment; The Contractor must furnish adequate equipment to perform
properly the work in a workmanlike manner in accordance with these Specifica-
tions. Such equipment must be in a good state of repair and maintained in
such state during the progress of the work. No worn or obsolete equipment
shall be used, and in no case shall the maker's rating of capacity for any
equipment be exceeded.
(1) Shop Drawings; The Contractor shall at his own expense furnish for the
approval of the Engineer shop drawings for all material and equipment he pro-
poses to use. These shop drawings shall be checked by the Engineer and re-
turned to the Contractor within ten (10) calendar days of their receipt by
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 5
the Engineer. All shop drawings shall be submitted in quadruplicate, accom-
panied by a letter of transmittal, and shall be addressed to the Engineer for
approval. The letter of transmittal shall give a list of the numbers of the
drawings submitted. All drawings must be marked with the name of the project
and the name of the Contractor and be numbered consecutively. All drawings
must be complete in every respect.
The Contractor shall make such corrections as shall be required by the Engineer
and receive the Engineer's stamp of approval before commencing the work in-
volved. If the shop drawings show variations from the Contract requirements
because of standard shop practices or other reasons, the Contractor shall make
specific mention of such variations in his letter of transmittal in order that
(if acceptable) suitable action may be taken for proper adjustment of the Con-
tract; otherwise, the Contractor will not be relieved of the responsibility
for executing the work in accordance with the Contract, even though the shop
drawings have been approved. Approval of shop drawings will be general and
shall not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility for proper fitting
and construction of the work, nor from furnishing the material and work required
by the Contract which may not be indicated in the shop drawings when approved;
neither does it relieve him from responsibility for errors in shop drawings.
SECTION IV - CONTROL OF MATERIAL
(a) Quality of Materials: All equipment, materials and supplies to be incor-
porated in the work shall be new unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise
specifically provided for in the Specifications, all workmanship, equipment,
material and articles incorporated in the work covered by the Contract are to
be of the best available grade of their respective kind. Whenever in the Spec-
ifications, any material, process or article is indicated or specified by grade,
patent or proprietary name, or by name of manufacturer, such specification
shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating description of the
materials, process or articles desired, and shall be deemed to be followed
by the words "or approved equal", and the Contractor may offer any material
or process which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to
that so indicated or specified; provided, however, that if the material,
process or article offered by the Contractor is not, in the opinion of the
Engineer and/or District's Representative, substantially equal or better in
every respect to that specified, then the Contractor must furnish the material,
process or article specified or one that in the opinion of the Engineer and/or
District's Representative is the substantial equal or better thereof in every
respect. In the event that the Contractor furnishes the material, process
or article better than that specified, the difference in cost of such material,
process or article so furnished shall be borne by the Contractor.
(b) Samples and Tests; At the option of the District's Representative the
source of supply of each of the materials shall be approved by the District's
Representative before delivery is started and before such material is used in
the work. Representative preliminary samples of the character and quality
prescribed shall be submitted by the Contractor or producer of all materials
to be used in the work for testing or examination as desired by the District's
Representative. All tests of materials furnished by the Contractor shall be
made in accordance with commonly recognized standards of national organizations
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 6
and such special methods and tests as are prescribed in the Specifications.
The Contractor shall furnish such samples of materials as are requested by
the District's Representative without charge. No material shall be used un-
til it has been approved by the District's Representative. Samples shall be
secured and tested whenever necessary to determine the quality of material.
(c) Defective Materials: All materials not conforming to the requirements
of the Specifications shall be considered as defective and all such materials,
whether in place or not, shall be rejected and shall be removed immediately
from the site of the work unless otherwise permitted by the District's Repre-
sentative. No rejected material, the defects of which have been subsequent-
ly corrected shall be used until approved in writing by the District's Repre-
sentative. Upon failure on the part of the Contractor to comply with any order
of the District's Representative made under the provisions of this article,
the District shall have authority to remove and replace defective material at
the expense of the Contractor.
(d) Storage of Materials: All materials for use in the work shall be stored
by the Contractor in such a manner as to prevent damage from exposure to the
elements, admixture of foreign materials or from any other cause. The Con-
tractor shall be entirely responsible for damage to or loss of materials by
weather or other causes.
SECTION V - LEGAL RELATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITY
(a) Laws to be Observed: The Contractor shall keep himself fully informed
of all laws, ordinances, and regulations which in any manner affect those
engaged or employed in the work, or the materials used in the work, or which
in any way affect the conduct of the work, and of all such orders and decrees
of bodies or tribunals having any jurisdiction or authority over the same.
If any discrepancy or inconsistency is discovered in the Plans, drawings,
Specifications, or other contract documents in relation to any such law,
ordinance, regulation, order or decree, the Contractor shall forthwith re-
port the same to the District's Representative in writing. He shall at the
time observe and comply with all such existing and future laws, ordinances,
regulations, orders and decrees, and shall protect and indemnify the District,
the Board of Directors, the Engineer, and all of its and their officers and
agents, against any claim or liability arising from or based on the violation
of any such law, ordinance, regulation, order or decree, whether by himself
or his employees.
(1) Hours of Labor - The Contractor shall forfeit to the District Twenty-
five Dollars ($25.00) for each workman employed in the execution of this
Contract by the Contractor or by any subcontractor for each calendar
day during which any workman is required or permitted to labor more than eight
(8) hours and/or forty (40) hours' in any one calendar 'week in violation of the
provisions of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code of the State of California,
(2) Alien Labor - The Contractor and any subcontractor, agent or rep-
resentative shall not employ and shall not cause or allow to be employed
any alien except in cases of extraordinary emergency caused by fire,
flood or danger to life or property. The Contractor and any subcontractor
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 7
shall forfeit to the District as a penalty Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00)
for each alien employed in the execution of this Contract, for each cal-
endar day, or portion thereof, during which such alien is permitted or
required to labor in violation of the provisions of Part 7 of Division
2 of the Labor Code of the State of California.
(3) Prevailing Wage - The Contractor shall forfeit to the District as
a penalty Twenty-five Dollars ($25.00) for each calendar day or portion
thereof, for each workman paid less than the general prevailing rate of
wages in the locality of the District as set forth in the Contract docu-
ments. The specified wage rates are minimum only, and the District will
not consider any claims for additional compensation made by the Contrac-
tor, because of payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of
the applicable minimum rate.
(4) Apprentices - The minimum wage rates, if any, specified for appren-
tices shall apply only to persons working with the tools of the trade
they are learning under the direct supervision of journeyman mechanics,
except as otherwise required by law. The number of apprentices in each
trade or occupation employed by the Contractor or any subcontractor shall
not exceed the number permitted by the applicable standards of the United
States Department of Labor, or in the absence of such standards, the num-
ber permitted under the usual practice prevailing between the unions and
employer's associations of the respective trades or occupations.
(5) Domestic Materials - Only such unmanufactured articles, materials or
supplies as have been mined or produced in the United States of America,
and only such manufactured articles, materials, or supplies that have been
manufactured in the United States of America substantially from such arti-
cles, materials and supplies shall be employed under this Contract in the
construction of the project.
(6) Convict-Made Materials - No materials manufactured or produced in a
penal or correctional institution shall be incorporated in the project
under this Contract.
(b) Patents; The Contractor shall assume all costs arising from the use of
patented materials, equipment, devices or processes used on or incorporated
in the work and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the District, the Board
of Directors, and the Engineer and their duly authorized representatives from
all suits of law, or action of every nature for or on account of the use of
any patented materials, equipment, devices, or processes.
(c) Public Convenience and Safety; The Contractor shall so conduct his
operations as to cause the least public obstruction and inconvenience to
public travel. Convenient access to driveways, houses and buildings along
the line of work shall be maintained and temporary crossings shall be pro-
vided and maintained in good condition. Not more than one crossing or inter-
secting street or road shall be closed at any one time without the approval
of the District's Representative.
The Contractor shall furnish, erect and maintain such fences, barriers, lights
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 8
and signs as are necessary to give adequate warning to the public at all
times of any dangerous conditions to be encountered as a result of the con-
struction work.
(d) Use of Explosives; When the use of explosives is necessary for the prose-
cution of the work, the Contractor shall use the utmost care not to endanger
life or property. All explosives shall be stored in a secure manner in accor-
dance with the provisions of Division XI of the Health and Safety Code, Chapter
68, Statutes of 1939, as amended, and shall be used in compliance with all
State and County Laws, ordinances and regulations governing such use, and all
such storage places shall be clearly marked "DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVES".
(e) Preservation of Property; The Contractor shall exercise due care to
avoid injury to existing District owned improvements or facilities, utility
facilities, adjacent property, and other improvements, and trees and shrubbery
that are not to be removed.
All trees and shrubbery that are not to be removed, and pole lines, fences,
signs, survey markers and monuments, buildings and structures, conduits,
pipelines under or above ground, sewer and water lines, all highway or street
facilities and any other improvements or facilities within or adjacent to the
work shall be protected from injury or damage and the Contractor shall provide
and install suitable safeguards to protect such objects from injury or damage.
If such objects are injured or damaged by reason of the Contractor's opera-
tion, they shall be replaced or restored, at the Contractor's expense, to a
condition as good as when the Contractor entered upon the work, or as good as
required by the Specifications, if any such objects are a part of the work
being performed.
The fact that any such pipe or other underground facility is not shown on
the Plans shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility under this
article. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to ascertain the exist-
ence of any underground improvements or facilities which may be subject to
damage by reason of his operations.
(f) Responsibility for Damage; The District, the Board of Directors, the
Engineer and their authorized assistants shall not be answerable or accountable
in any manner for any loss or damage that may happen to the work or any part
thereof, or for any material or equipment used in performing the work, or for
injury or damage to any person or persons, either workmen or the public, or
for damage to adjoining property from any cause whatsoever during the progress
of the work, or any time before final acceptance of the work.
The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the District, the Board
of Directors, the Engineer and their authorized assistants from any suits,
claims or actions brought by any person or persons for or on account of any
injuries or damage sustained or arising in the construction of the work.
(g) Personal Liability; Neither the Board of Directors, the Engineer, nor
any other officer or authorized assistant or agent of the District shall be
personally responsible for any liability arising under the Contract.
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 9
(h) Contractor's Responsibility for Work; The Contractor shall be respons-
ible for all damages to persons or property that occur as a result of his
fault or negligence in connection with the prosecution of the Contract, and
shall be responsible for the proper care and protection of all materials de-
livered and work performed until completion and final acceptance by the Dis-
trict.
The Contractor shall provide such covering and enclosures as are necessary
to protect all work and materials against damage by weather conditions.
The Contractor shall take adequate precautions in protecting existing curbs,
trees, sidewalks, pavements, utilities, adjoining property and structures and
avoid damage thereto, and he shall at his own expense completely repair any
damage thereto caused by his operations.
The Contractor shall shore up, brace, underpin and protect as may be necessary
all foundations and other parts of all existing structures adjacent and ad-
joining the site of the project which are in any way affected by the excava-
tion or other operations connected with the performance of the work under this
Contract. Whenever any notice is required to be given by the District or the
Contractor to any adjacent or adjoining landowner or other party before com-
mencement of any work under this Contract, such notice shall be given by the
Contractor. The Contractor shall indemnify the District and save it harmless
from any damages on account of settlements or the loss of lateral support of
adjoining property, or from all loss and expense, and from all damages for
which the District may become liable in consequence of such injuries or dam-
age to trees and to adjoining and adjacent structures and their premises.
In an emergency affecting the safety of life or property, including adjoining
property, the Contractor, without special instructions or authorizations, is
authorized to act at his discretion to prevent such threatened loss or injury
and he shall so act as though instructed to do so by the District.
(i) Mutual Responsibility of Contractors; If through acts of neglect on
the part of the Contractor, any other contractor or any subcontractor shall
suffer loss or damage on the work, the Contractor agrees to settle with such
other contractor or subcontractor by agreement or arbitration, if such other
contractor or subcontractor will so settle. If such other contractor or sub-
contractor shall assert any claim against the District on account of any dam-
age alleged to have been so sustained, the District shall notify the Contractor,
who shall indemnify and save harmless the District against any such claim. The
Contractor must ascertain to his own satisfaction the scope of the project and
the nature of any other contracts that have been or may be awarded by the Dis-
trict in the prosecution of the project, to the end that the Contractor may
perform this Contract in the light of such other contracts, if any.
Nothing herein contained shall be interpreted as granting to the Contractor
exclusive occupancy of the site of the project. The Contractor shall not
cause any unnecessary hindrance or delay to any other contractor working on
the project. If the performance of any Contract for the project is likely
to be interfered with by the simultaneous performance of some other contract
or contracts, the District, through its representative, shall decide which
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 10
contractor shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue,
or whether the work under the contracts can be coordinated so that the con-
tractors may proceed simultaneously. On all questions concerning conflict-
ing interests of contractors performing related work, the decision of said
District's Representative shall be binding upon all contractors concerned and
the District shall not be responsible for any damages suffered or extra costs
incurred by the Contractor resulting directly or indirectly from the award of
performance or attempted performance of any other contract or contracts on
the project, or caused by a decision or omission of the District respecting
the order of precedence in the performance of the Contract.
(j) Notice and Service Thereof; Any notice required or given by one party
to the other under the Contract shall be in writing and shall be dated and
signed by the party giving such notice or by a duly authorized representative
of such party. Any such notices shall not be effective for any purpose what-
soever unless served in the following manner, namely:
If the notice is given to the District, by personal delivery thereof to the
Secretary, or by depositing the same in the United States mail, enclosed in
a sealed envelope addressed to the District, to the attention of said Sec-
retary, postage prepaid and registered.
If the notice is given to the Contractor by personal delivery thereof to
said Contractor or to his authorized representative at the site of the
project or by depositing the same in the United States mail, enclosed in a
sealed envelope addressed to said Contractor at his regular place of business
or such other address as may have been established for the conduct of the work
under this Contract, postage prepaid and registered.
(k) Warranty of Title; No materials, supplies or equipment for the work
under this Contract shall be purchased subject to any chattel mortgage or
under a conditional sale contract or other agreement by which an interest
therein or any part thereof is retained by the seller or supplier. The Con-
tractor warrants clear and good title to all materials, supplies and equip-
ment installed and incorporated in the work, and agrees upon completion of
all work to deliver the premises, together with all improvements and appur-
tenances constructed or placed thereon by him to the District free from any
claims, liens, encumbrances, or charges, and further agrees that neither he
nor any person, firm or corporation furnishing any material or labor for any
work covered by the Contract shall have any right to a lien upon the premises
or any improvement or appurtenance thereon, provided that this shall not pre-
clude the Contractor from installing metering devices or other equipment of
utility companies or of municipalities, the title of which is commonly re-
tained by the utility company or the municipality. Nothing contained in this
article, however, shall defeat or impair the right of such persons furnishing
materials or labor under any bond given by the Contractor for their protection,
or any right under any law permitting such persons to look to funds due the
Contractor, in the hands of the District. The provisions of this article
shall be inserted in all subcontracts and material contracts, and notices
of its provisions shall be given to all persons furnishing materials for the
work when no formal contract is entered into for such materials.
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 11
(1) Termination for Breach; If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute
the work or any separable part thereof with such diligence as will insure its
completion within the time specified herein, or any extension thereof, or fails
to complete such work within such time, or the Contractor should be adjudged
a bankrupt, or if he should make a general assignment for the benefit of his
creditors, or if a receiver should be appointed on account of his insolvency,
or if he or any of his subcontractors should violate any of the provisions of
this Contract, the District may serve written notice upon the Contractor and
his surety of its intention to terminate this Contract, said notice to contain
the reasons for such intention to terminate this Contract; and unless within
ten (10) days after the service of such notice such violations shall cease and
satisfactory arrangements for the corrections thereof be made, this Contract
shall, upon the expiration of said ten (10) days, cease and terminate.
In the event of any such termination, the District shall immediately serve
written notice thereof upon the surety and the Contractor, and the surety
shall have the right to take over and perform the contract; provided how-
ever, that if the surety within fifteen (15) days after the serving upon it
of a notice of termination does not give the District written notice of its
intention to take over and perform the Contract, the District may take over
the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other
method it may deem advisable for the account and at the expense of the Con-
tractor, and his surety shall be liable to the District for any excess cost
or other damage occasioned the District thereby; and in such event the Dis-
trict may, without liability for so doing, take possession of and utilize in
completing the work such materials, appliances, plants and other property be-
longing to the Contractor that may be on the site of the work and be necessary
therefor.
The foregoing provisions are in addition to and not in limitation of any other
rights or remedies available to the District.
(m) Prohibitive Interests: No officer of the District who is authorized in
such capacity and on behalf of the District to negotiate, make, accept, or
approve, or to take part in negotiating, making, accepting or approving any
architectural, engineering, inspection, construction or material supply con-
tract or any subcontract in connection with the construction of the project,
shall become directly or indirectly interested personally in this Contract or
any part thereof. No officer, employee, architect, attorney, engineer or in-
spector of or for the District who is authorized in such capacity and on behalf
of the District to exercise any executive, supervisory or other similar function
in connection with the construction of the project, shall become directly or
indirectly interested personally in this Contract or any part thereof.
SECTION VI - PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
(a) Subcontracting; Specialty subcontractors shall be utilized for the per-
formance of such part of the work under this Contract as under normal con-
tract practices are performed by specialty subcontractors, unless the Dis-
trict determines that the general Contractor has heretofore customarily per-
formed such specialty work with his own organization and is equipped to do
so, or unless the District determines that the performance of specialty work
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 12
by specialty contractors will result in increased cost or inordinate delays,
provided however, that the Contractor shall not subcontract any work to be
performed or any materials to be furnished in the performance of this Con-
tract without the prior written consent of the District. If the Contractor
shall subcontract any part of this Contract, the Contractor shall be as fully
responsible to the District for the acts and omissions of his subcontractor
and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by his subcontractor
as he is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by himself.
Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any contractural re-
lationship between any subcontractor and the District. The Contractor shall
bind every subcontractor (and every subcontractor of a subcontractor) to be
bound by the terms of the contract documents as applicable to his work, un-
less specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract in question, ap-
proved in writing as satisfactory to the District.
(b) Assignment of Contract; The Contractor shall not assign this Contract
or any part thereof nor any monies due or to become due thereunder, without
the prior written consent of the District. No assignment of this Contract
shall be valid unless it shall contain a provision that the funds to be paid
to the assignee under the assignment are subject to a prior lien for services
rendered or materials supplied for performance of the work called for under
said Contract in favor of all persons, firms or corporations rendering such
services or supplying such materials.
(c) Construction Schedule; Within five (5) days after execution of the Con-
tract, the Contractor shall deliver to the District's Representative a con-
struction progress schedule in form satisfactory to the District's Representa-
tive showing the proposed dates of commencement and completion of each of the
various subdivisions of the work required under the contract documents, and
the anticipated amount of each monthly payment that will become due the Con-
tractor in accordance with the progress schedule.
(d) Character of Workmen; Any person who may be in the employ of the Con-
tractor and who the District's Representative may deem incompetent or unfit
shall be dismissed from the work and shall not again be employed on it ex-
cept with the written consent of the District's Representative.
(e) Temporary Suspension of Work; The District's Representative shall have
the authority to suspend the work wholly or in part for such time as he may
deem necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out
orders given, or to perform any provision of the Contract. The Contractor
shall immediately comply with the written order of the District's Representa-
tive to suspend the work wholly or in part. The work shall be resumed when
methods or defective work are corrected as ordered or approved in writing
by the District's Representative.
In the event that a suspension of work is ordered as provided above, such
suspension of work shall not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to
complete the work within the time limit specified, and shall not be considered
cause for extension of the time for completion, and further, such suspension
of work shall not entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation.
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 13
SECTION VII - ESTIMATES AND PAYMENTS
(a) Partial Payments; The District shall on or before the tenth (10th)
day of each calendar month after actual construction work is started, except
in case of final estimate hereinafter provided, cause an estimate in writing
to be made by the District's Representative of the total amount of the work
done and materials furnished by the Contractor and incorporated into the
work to the first (1st) day of the month in which the estimate is made. In
estimating such value, the District's Representative may take into considera-
tion, along with other facts and conditions deemed by him to be proper, the
ratio of the difficulty of the work done to the probable difficulties of the
work to be done. The District shall retain ten percent (10%) of such esti-
mated value as part security for the fulfillment of the Contract by the Con-
tractor, and shall within fifteen (15) days after the preparation of such
estimate pay to the Contractor the balance of such estimated value after de-
ducting therefrom all previous payments and all sums to be kept or retained
under the terms of the Contract.
(b) Final Payment; The District's Representative shall, after the satis-
factory completion of the work, make a final estimate of the amount of work
done thereunder and the value of said work, and the District shall pay the
entire sum so found to be due after deducting therefrom all previous payments
and all amounts to be retained under the provisions of the Contract. All
prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the
final estimate and payment. The final payment shall not be due and payable
until the expiration of thirty-five (35) days from the date of acceptance
of the work by the District.
No certificate given or payment made under the Contract, except the final
certificate or final payment, shall be conclusive evidence of the perform-
ance of the Contract, either wholly or in part, and no payment shall be con-
strued to be an acceptance of any defective work or improper materials.
(c) Payments to be Made by Contractor; The Contractor shall pay:
(1) For all transportation and utility services, not later than the
twenty-fifth (25th) day of the calendar month following that in which
said services are rendered.
(2) For all materials, tools and other expendable equipment to the
extent of ninety percent (90%) of the cost thereof, not later than the
twenty-fifth(25th) day of the calendar month following that in which
said materials, tools and equipment are delivered at the site of the
project, and the balance of the cost thereof not later than the thirtieth
(30th) day following the completion of that part of the work in or on
which such materials, tools and equipment are incorporated or used.
(3) To each of his subcontractors within five (5) days following each
payment to the Contractor, the respective amount allowed the Contractor
on account of the work performed by his subcontractors, to the extent
of each subcontractor's interest therein.
Boyle 103065 Standard Provisions - 14
(d) District's Right to Withhold Certain Amounts and Make Application Thereof!
In addition to the amount which the District may retain under the above, the
District may withhold a sufficient amount or amounts or any payment otherwise
due to the Contractor as in its judgment may be necessary to cover:
(1) Payments which may be past due and payable for just claims against
the Contractor or any subcontractors, for labor or materials furnished
in or about the performance of the work on the project under this Con-
tract.
(2) For defective work not remedied.
(3) For failure of the Contractor to make proper payments to his sub-
contractors.
(4) For amounts claimed by the District as liquidated damages or other
offsets.
The District may apply such withheld amount or amounts to the payment of such
claims in its discretion. In so doing, the District shall be deemed the agent
of the Contractor and any payments so made by the District shall be considered
as a payment made under the Contract by the District to the Contractor, and
the District shall not be liable to the Contractor for such payment made in
good faith. Such payments may be made without prior judicial determination
of the claim or claims. The District will render to the Contractor a proper
account of such funds disbursed in behalf of the Contractor.

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
EARTHWORK (WATER MAINS)
A. General:
A-l. Earthwork shall consist of performing all operations to clear, grub,
excavate, backfill, and replace pavements for the installation of pipe-
lines and appurtenances. Earthwork shall include the removal of water
and all materials of whatever nature.
A-2. Scope of Work; The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials,
tools, and equipment necessary to complete all of the earthwork as
required.
A-3. Earthwork and repairs in City and County and State rights of way
shall be done in accordance with requirements and provisions of the permits
issued by those agencies in addition to the requirements of these Standard
Specifications. If a permit is not required, earthwork and repairs shall
conform to the standards of the agency in whose right of way the work is
done in addition to the requirements of these Standard Specifications.
A-4. Relative compaction specified herein shall be a percentage of the
maximum density at optimum moisture content as determined by AASHO Test
No. T99-49 Modified (3 layers - 25 blows per layer - 10 Ib. hammer -
18-inch drop - 4-inch diameter - 1/30 cubic foot cylindrical mold).
A-5. Safety precautions shall be observed in all phases of the work.
Included shall be trench shoring, bracing, lighting, and barricades as
dictated by reason and by the Safety Orders of the Division of Industrial
Safety, State of California.
A-6. Obstructions; The Contractor's attention is directed to the possible
existence of pipe and other underground improvements which may or may not
be shown on the Plans. The Contractor shall preserve and protect any
such improvements whether shown on the Plans or not. Where it is neces-
sary to remove and replace or to relocate such improvements in order to
prosecute the work, they shall be removed, maintained and permanently
replaced by the Contractor at his expense.
B. Materials and Workmanship;
B-l. Clearing and Grubbing; All brush, roots, vegetation, rubbish, debris,
and other deleterious material shall be removed and disposed of so as to
leave the construction site clean and neat.
B-2. Trench excavation for pipelines, fittings, valves and appurtenances
shall be as follows:
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Earthwork (Water Mains) - 1
Minimum trench width shall be;
Nominal Inside Pipe Diameter Trench Width
4" through 12" Outside diameter plus 12"
14" through 24" Outside diameter plus 16"
27" through 36" Outside diameter plus 20"
Where shoring or encasement is required, trench widths shall be increased
accordingly.
Trench depth shall be adequate to accommodate the pipe and its foundation
at the profile shown on the Plans. In the absence of such profile grade,
the top of pipe grade shall be located 3 feet below the centerline street
grade or 2-1/2 feet below existing ground at the pipe location, whichever
is lower.
Pipe subgrade at the trench bottom shall have a flat or semi-circular
cross section. The bottom of the trench for steel pipe shall be graded
and prepared to provide a firm and uniform bearing throughout the entire
length of each joint except for required "bell holes" at joints. Steel
pipe shall not be laid on earth mounds. Asbestos-cement pipe shall be
laid on compacted earth mounds located at one-fifth of the pipe length
from one end. Asbestos-cement couplings shall not rest on the trench
bottom.
Foundations in poor soil shall be constructed by removing all soft,
spongy, and deleterious materials below pipe bottom grade to a depth
determined by the District's Representative. The void shall then be
backfilled to pipe grade and cross section with sand compacted to a
minimum relative compaction of 90%. The replacement of unsound materials
to depths of 2 feet below bottom of pipe grade shall be considered part
of the work. Replacement of materials greater than 2 feet of depth will
be paid for as extra work.
Foundations in rock shall be constructed by removing rock to a minimum
depth of 6 inches below bottom of pipe grade and backfilling with sand
compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90%.
Correction of Faulty Grades; All excavations carried below pipe grade
shall be backfilled to proper grade and cross section with sand compacted
to a minimum relative compaction of 90%.
B-3. Backfill; All trenches and excavations shall be backfilled after
pipe, fittings, valves and appurtenances have been installed.
B-3.1 Procedure in Pipe Zone; The pipe zone shall be considered
to extend from the bottom of the excavation to 8 inches above the
top of the pipe.
Backfill material from the bottom of the excavation to the mid-point
of the pipe or to a height of 12 inches above the bottom of the pipe,
Carlsbad MWD Earthwork (Water Mains) - 2
whichever is lower, shall be sand (except for the earth mounds on
which asbestos-cement pipe is laid).
Sand shall be free from foreign materials such as dirt, rocks,
sticks, vegetation, etc. and shall be so graded that not more than
10% by weight shall pass a No. 200 sieve. Backfill material for
the remainder of the pipe zone shall be sand or loose soil free
from stones, clods, and other deleterious material.
Backfill shall be placed in layers simultaneously on each side of
the pipe for the full width of the trench. Sand may be placed and
compacted in layers up to 12 inches in compacted thickness* All
other material shall be placed and compacted in layers not exceeding
6 inches in compacted thickness. In placing and compacting the
backfill, particular attention is to be given to the underside of
the pipe and fittings to provide a firm support along the full
length of the pipe. Care shall be exercised in backfilling to
avoid damage to the pipe coating.
B-3.2 Procedure Above Pipe Zone; From the top of the pipe zone to
the ground surface or finish grade, the material for backfill shall
conform to that specified for the pipe zone except that it may con-
tain stones up to 8 inches in diameter but shall be so graded that
at least 40% of the material passes a No. 4 sieve. The coarser
materials shall be well distributed throughout the finer material.
Backfill material shall be placed in layers of a thickness which
can be compacted throughout to the specified density with compaction
equipment which will not damage the pipe and fittings.
B-3.3 Densification; All backfill shall be compacted throughout
by tamping or water settling to a minimum relative compaction of 90%
or to the density required by the agency in whose right of way the
work is located, whichever is the more compact.
Tamping Method; Backfill material shall be placed in uniform layers
of the thickness specified above. The moisture content of the back-
fill material shall be near or at the optimum required for compaction
and each layer shall be tamped until compacted to the required mini-
mum relative compaction. Heavy duty compacting equipment having an
overall weight in excess of 125 pounds shall not be used until
backfill has been completed to a depth of 2 feet over the top of pipe.
Water Settling Method; This method may not be used when in the
opinion of the District's Representative
(1) the backfill material is not sufficiently granular to
consolidate properly by this method,
(2) the adjacent soils are not sufficiently pervious to permit
the water to drain away, or
(3) adjacent soils or nearby structures may be damaged.
Carlsbad MHD 080966 Earthwork (Water Mains) - 3
In the pipe zone, the backfill material shall be placed in uniform
layers of the thickness specified above. At the top of each layer,
the trench shall be diked at suitable intervals depending on the
slope, and the trench between dikes shall be filled with sufficient
water to inundate the backfill materials. The backfill material
shall then be agitated to promote its consolidation. Care shall be
exercised to prevent floating the pipe.
Following backfilling of the pipe zone, the trench shall be diked
at suitable intervals depending upon slope, and the trench between
dikes shall be filled and maintained with sufficient water so that
backfill materials subsequently placed will be inundated during and
following placement. The water level shall be controlled to pre-
vent floating of the pipe. Backfill materials above the pipe zone
shall be placed in the water-filled trench in uniform layers not
exceeding 18 inches in thickness.
B-4. Excess Excavated Material; The Contractor shall make the necessary
arrangements for and shall remove and dispose of all excess excavated
material. In open terrain, surplus material may be disposed of within
the right of way by spreading, provided that rocks or lumps which cannot
be readily covered by spreading are removed.
B-5. Final Clean-Up; After backfill has been completed, the right of way
shall be dressed smooth to the contour of the original ground and left in
a neat and presentable condition, free of all cleared vegetation, rubbish
and other construction wastes. Rocks and lumps which cannot be readily
covered by spreading shall be hauled away and disposed of by the Contractor.
On slopes where, in the opinion of the District's Representative, rainfall
runoff would create an erosion problem, the Contractor shall excavate at
approximately 100-foot intervals V-type interception ditches to collect
and carry runoff to the low side of the right of way. The interception
ditches shall be approximately 1-foot deep and shall be skewed approxi-
mately 45 degrees with the centerline of the right of way.
C. Payment; Payment for earthwork and for conforming to all the provisions
included herein shall be considered to be included in the contract unit or
lump sum prices paid for the various items of work, and no additional allowance
will be made therefor.

in any one work area. In such an area, there shall not be more than
1400 feet of trench opened and incompletely backfilled. The re-
mainder of the area of trenching operation shall be available for
safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic at all times.
L-l. 3 Only when the contractor has entirely separate and complete
crews, each of which is capable of doing the entire job in their
area, will two or more operations be considered separate work areas.
L-l.4 Trench covered with temporary surfacing will be considered
as open to traffic. Temporary surfacing shall conform to provisions
of Paragraph 14 of these Special Provisions.
L-2. Blasting; In the event that blasting is necessary in excavation,
a permit to receive and transport and a burning and blasting permit shall
be obtained as required by the Health and Safety Code, the Motor Vehicle
060964 Excavation Permit - 4 of 10
Code, and the Public Resources Code. The blasts shall be blanketed with
mats or other approved protection to avoid damage or injury to the Public.
Signs warning of blasting area and requesting that Radio Transmitters
not be used in the blasting area shall be furnished and placed by the
permittee. All blasting shall be performed in compliance with the Re-
quirements of the State of California "General Industry Safety Orders".
L-3. Excavated Material; Excavated material shall be deposited along
the trench side in a manner that will not obstruct the traffic lane or
cause undue inconvenience to the traveling public. If the roadway
section is not sufficient to adequately maintain through traffic, the
permittee or contractor may be required to contain or remove the spoil
material.
M. Backfill; Backfill shall conform to Section 19-3.06 of the Standard
Specifications, except that Method "B" will not be permitted, and the follow-
ing modifications shall apply:
M-l. Backfill Around Utility; The Specifications of the Utility
Company or Utility District may be used where approved as a condition of
the permit by the Permit Engineer, except that where no specifications
are submitted or where the specifications of the Utility Company are not
approved as a condition of the permit, the following specifications shall
govern:
Backfill around the pipe or utility, and to one
foot above the top of the pipe shall be a granular
material, sand or fine earth, 100% passing the 3/4"
sieve and compacted to the density required in
Paragraph 13-D for the depth at which the pipe is
laid. In no event shall this relative density be
less than 85%.
M-2. Backfill to Subgrade; From one (1) foot above the top of the pipe
to the subgrade of the roadway section, the material for backfill may be
trench spoil which shall not contain clods that will not readily dis-
integrate in water, nor stones larger than six (6) inches maximum dia-
meter. This layer may contain stones, broken concrete, bituminous
pavement or oil cake ranging in size up to six (6) inches maximum dia-
meter in quantity not exceeding twenty-five (25) percent of the volume
when such coarse materials are well distributed throughout the finer
material.
M-3. Backfill Subgrade to Pavement; When the structural section for
the roadway shows base or subbase material (D.G. or Decomposed Granite
shall be assumed to mean aggregate subbase), it shall be replaced in
kind, except that the minimum section, or when there is no definite
structural section available shall be six (6) inches of Class III
Aggregate Base furnished and placed in conformance with Sections 26 of
the Standard Specifications and the following modifications:
060964 Excavation Permit - 5 of 10
Sand Equivalent 30 Minimum
Resistance (R) Value 75 Minimum
Sieve Grading 3/4" Maximum
As follows:
Sieve Size % Passing
3/4 100
No. 4 80-100
No. 30 30-60
No. 200 5-15
When the R Value is 75 or greater, the minimum asphalt concrete or paving
cover shall be as specified in Paragraph 15. In the event the base
material delivered on the job site has an R Value less than 75, but greater
than 70, it may be left in place on the job, but its reduced structural
strength shall be compensated for by providing an additional one-half (1/2)
inch of asphalt surfacing, and these sections shall be considered to be
structurally equal. In event the R Value of the material is less than 70,
it shall be removed from the project and replaced with suitable material.
M-4. Compaction; The Permittee shall have his compaction equipment on
the project, and the equipment shall be approved by the Construction
Engineer before backfilling is started. All base and subbase material
shall be compacted to 95% relative density.
Below subbase or base to a trench depth of five (5) feet measured from
the top of the surfacing (pavement), the backfill shall be compacted to
90% relative density. Below five feet measured down from the top of the
surfacing, the backfill shall be compacted to 85% relative density.
All densities shall be determined in accordance with the latest revision
of California Test Method No. 216. Compaction tests will be taken through-
out the project to determine whether the specified requirements have
been met. The number of tests and their location and depth shall be left
to the discretion of the Construction Engineer. The Permittee shall
excavate holes required for compaction tests at locations designated by
the Construction Engineer and under his direction, and shall refill and
recompact these to the densities required by these Specifications for the
depth tested. In areas outside the slope lines, in the median area, and
not beneath any roadway or shoulder, when stated on the Excavation Permit,
or approved by the Engineer, the compaction may be reduced to a minimum
of eighty-five (85) percent.
The Permittee may backfill using any of the methods indicated below, if
approved by the Engineer.
060964 Excavation Permit - 6 of 10
M-4.1 Tamping Methods; When machine tamping, hand tamping or
hand-operated methods are used, the moistened fill material shall
be tamped in uniform layers not to exceed eight (8) inches in
thickness, loose measurement, unless otherwise approved in writing
by the Engineer.
M-4.2 Water Methods; When flooding or ponding method is used,
the trench shall be diked at suitable intervals, depending on the
grade of the ditch. The depth of water must be such that when
earth or sand is shoveled or pushed into the trench, it will become
completely saturated. Ponding and jetting will be done in con-
formance with Section 19-3.06 of the Standard Specifications.
After the trench has been initially filled and knocked down by water
settling, further ponding or jetting will not be permitted in the upper
two feet of the trench.
NOTE; (a) If the Permittee agrees in writing to place a temporary
fill and temporary surfacing and to return in a specified time to rebuild
the trench as necessary and to remove the temporary surfacing and to
replace it with a permanent cover,as required in Paragraph 15, the
Construction Engineer may authorize the option of jetting the complete
trench depth and providing temporary cover.
(b) However, if the Construction Engineer determines that the water
method will soften or damage the existing roadway, or that the material
proposed for water settling is unsatisfactory for that purpose, water
settling will not be permitted.
M-5. Backfill Under Obstructions; When an obstruction or other
utility or structure is encountered and the new utility must pass under
it, the area between the two utilities shall be backfilled with subbase
material, sand or gravel, free from large clods, large stones, adobe, or
any deleterious matter, and shall be rammed with proper tools until
thoroughly compacted to the density of the adjacent material.
M-6. Bored and Jacked Crossing; Where as a condition of a permit, an
open cut is not permitted, a 1/4-inch thick wall, steel casing or pipe,
with an inside diameter of at least six (6) inches greater than the
maximum diameter of the utility shall be jacked under the road, except
that when a pipe of sufficient strength to be jacked under the road is
used, the steel casing will not be required, when approved by the Engineer.
While the utility is being placed or after it is in place, the area
between the casing and the new pipe shall be filled with sand. The length
of the bored crossing shall be designated as a condition of the permit.
M-7. Special Circumstances; On streets in commercial areas, urban type
development, or having high traffic counts (5,000 cars per day or greater),
the convenience and safety of the traveling public may require a higher
type backfill which is installed rapidly and surfaced immediately. In
such circumstances, trench spoil will not be allowed as backfill material.
The backfill material shall be sand compacted by wetting or material
060964 Excavation Permit - 7 of 10
meeting the requirements for untreated rock base placed in loose layers
eight inches thick before tamping and compacted to 95% relative density.
The use of this paragraph and the time allowed for this "Special
Circumstance" backfill will be stated as a condition of the permit.
Only emergency work will be allowed in commercial areas between the dates
of Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
N. Temporary Surfacing; All trenches across paved traffic lanes shall be
provided with temporary surfacing, unless the Permittee immediately installs
permanent resurfacing. The minimum requirements for temporary resurfacing
shall be steel plating or "Road-Mixed Asphalt Surfacing" conforming to
Section 38 of the Standard Specifications, except that the liquid asphalt
shall be SC 800, conforming to the latest Specifications of the Asphalt
Institute, and shall have a minimum thickness of two (2) inches.
Temporary resurfacing shall be placed within twenty-four (24) hours after
completion of trench backfill and compaction and shall be properly maintained
until permanent surfacing is replaced. The Permittee will not be permitted
to mix asphalt surfacing in the traveled way unless authorized in advance by
the Construction Engineer.
The Permittee shall control dust, as directed by the Construction Engineer,
using methods of Section 10, Standard Specifications.
In the rainy season (October to May), when directed by the Construction
Engineer, all trenches in paved traffic lanes shall be provided with
temporary resurfacing, unless the Permittee immediately installs permanent
resurfacing.
0. Resurfacing;
0-1. General; In all streets or alleys in which the surface is removed,
broken or damaged by equipment, or in which the ground has caved in or
settled, due to the installation of improvements, the surface shall be
restored to the original grade and crown section by the Permittee.
This shall include areas beyond the actual limits of the trench which
may be damaged by equipment or by unusually heavy traffic volume created
by the trenching operations. In the absence of specific designation on
the Plans, and where the street has been improved with roadway surface,
base course, curb, sidewalk or gutter, trenches or damaged sections shall
be restored with the type of improvement conforming to that which existed
at the time the Permittee entered upon the work. All work shall match
the appearance of the existing improvements and finished pavement shall
not deviate from existing grade, and shall be free from ruts, depressions
and irregularities.
In all streets or alleys which are not paved, but are traveled by the
public, the surface of the area disturbed by the Permittee's operations
shall be replaced to a depth of at least six (6) inches with Class 111
060964 Excavation Permit - 8 of 10

The pavement shall have a thickness equal to that of the existing
pavement plus one (1) inch. The existing pavement shall be scored to
approximately one-fourth (1/4) its thickness by saw cut along a straight
line deviating not more than two (2) inches in twenty (20) feet, and
shall be broken out to provide clean, solid, vertical faces, free of
loose material. Where large irregular surfaces are removed, such cuts
shall be parallel with the center line of the roadway and at right angles
to same. Joints shall be constructed to coincide with the existing
pavement. The pavement shall be finished true to grade and cross-section
and free from irregularities.
0-3. Asphaltic Concrete Pavement; Asphalt concrete pavement shall be
Type "B" plant-mixed surfacing, furnished and placed in accordance with
Section 39 of the Standard Specifications, except as herein modified.
Paving asphalt shall conform to Section 92 of the Standard Specifications
and shall be 40-50; 60-70 or 85-100 penetration, as determined by the
Engineer. The pavement shall have a thickness equal to that of the
existing pavement plus one (1) inch with, in any case, a minimum thickness
of two (2)inches. The new asphaltic concrete shall be brought up in
maximum lifts of two (2) inches, compacted thickness, the upper lift
being rolled with a steel wheel roller. Before placing pavement, edges
of existing pavement shall be trimmed or cut to a straight line deviating
not more than two (2) inches in twenty (20) feet. Where large irregular
surfaces are removed, such trimming or cut shall be parallel with the
center line of the roadway and at right angles to same. The edges of
such a cut shall provide clean, solid, vertical faces, free of loose
material, and a paint binder or asphaltic emulsion shall be applied to
the vertical faces against which the replacement material is to be placed.
The completed surface, when ready for acceptance,shall be thoroughly
compacted true to grade and cross-section, and shall be free from ruts,
lumps, depressions, or irregularities. Where the existing asphalt concrete
pavement is over five (5) inches thick, the pavement may be replaced with
four (4) inches of Portland Cement concrete (Class "B") and an asphalt
concrete wearing surface not less than (1) one inch thick, and the
remainder of the pavement thickness replaced with base material meeting
these specifications for base material and compacted to 95% relative
density.
0-4. Road-Mixed Surfacing; Road-mixed surfacing shall be furnished and
placed in conformance with Section 38 of the Standard Specifications,
except that the liquid asphalt shall be SC 800 conforming to the latest
060964 Excavation Permit - 9 of 10
specifications of the Asphalt Institute, and shall have a thickness
equal to that of the existing pavement plus one (1) inch, with, in any
case, a minimum thickness of two (2) inches and a maximum compacted
thickness of four (4) inches. Mixing of materials shall be done off the
roadway, unless other permission is granted by the Construction Engineer.
The new surfacing shall be brought up in maximum lifts of two (2) inches,
compacted thickness, each lift being fully compacted before the next
lift is applied. If necessary, hand tamping shall be applied to assure
full compaction at the edges, where failure of patches is most prevalent.
Before placing pavement, edges of existing pavement shall be trimmed to
a straight line deviating not more than two (2) inches in twenty feet.
Where large irregular surfaces are removed, such trimming or cut shall be
parallel with the center line of the roadway and at right angles to same.
The edges of such a cut shall provide a clean, solid, vertical faces,
free of loose material, and paint binder or asphaltic emulsion shall be
applied to the vertical faces against which the replacement material is
to be placed. The completed surface, when ready for acceptance, shall be
thoroughly compacted true to grade and cross-section, and shall be free
from ruts, depressions and irregularities.
All Road-Oil Mix Surfacing shall be sealed.
0-5. Replacement of Curbs and Sidewalks, Etc: All concrete curbs,
gutters, driveways and sidewalks which are broken or damaged by the installa-
tion of the improvement shall be reconstructed, by and at the expense of
the Permittee, of the same kind of material and in not less than the same
dimensions as the original work, with the minimum requirement that Class
"B" concrete shall be used. The repairs shall be made by removing and
replacing the entire portions between joints or scores and not by re-
finishing the damaged part. Cross gutters shall be replaced with Class
"A" Portland cement concrete, conforming to Section 90 of the Standard
Specifications.
0-6. Center Line Stripes; All pavement surfaces which are replaced and
which were originally striped for traffic control shall be broomed clean,
ready for restriping, and the Permittee shall give adequate notice of the
date of cleaning to the Construction Engineer in order that the paving
restriping can be accomplished by County forces while it is clean.

PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE
A. General; The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, tools and
equipment for the construction of plain and reinforced concrete as shown on
the Plans and herein specified.
B. Materials and Workmanship;
B-l. Cement shall be portland cement Type II, conforming to ASTM
Designation: C150.
B-2. Aggregates; All aggregates used in grout, mortar, and in concrete
shall conform to the provisions of Section 90 of the Standard Specifica-
tions of the California Division of Highways dated July, 1964. The
maximum nominal size of coarse aggregate shall be 1-1/2 inch.
B-3. Water used shall be of potable quality.
B-4. Admixtures to prevent segregation and to improve workability or to
accelerate the setting of the concrete will be permitted provided the ad-
mixture proposed shall first be approved in writing by the District's
Representative, and the proportions of the admixture to be used shall be
fixed by the District's Representative.
B-5. Strength Requirements; All concrete shall be proportioned to attain
a minimum cylinder strength of -3,000 psi in 28 days. The compressive
strengths are to be determined in accordance with ASTM C39. Not less
than 6 sacks of cement shall be used per cubic yard.
B-6. Proportioning; The exact proportions of the concrete ingredients
shall be established by a material testing laboratory selected by the
District's Representative. The Contractor shall notify the District's
Representative of his proposed source of aggregate in sufficient advance
time to permit the design of the mix. Aggregates shall be proportioned
by weight. Cement shall be proportioned by the sack or by weight.
B-7. Mixing; The cement, sand and coarse aggregates shall be so mixed
and the quantity of water added shall be such as to produce a homogeneous
mass of uniform consistency. Each mixer used shall be of the batch type
and be of a design to insure uniform distribution of all the materials
throughout the mass during the mixing operation, when operated at the
speed and capacity recommended by the manufacturer and the mixer shall
be so operated. Each mixer shall be so constructed that the District's
Representative can conveniently observe the consistency and uniformity
of the concrete in the mixer during the operation.
Only sufficient water shall be used in mixing any class of concrete to
produce a workable mass suitable for the particular type of construction
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Portland Cement Concrete - 1
involved. Water shall be added prior to or during the mixer charging
operation. The mixing of each batch after all materials have been placed
in the mixer shall continue for not less than 90 seconds for a stationary
mixer smaller than 2 cubic yards in capacity and for not less than 2 min-
utes for a larger stationary mixer.
If transit mix concrete is used, the mixing time shall not be less than
3 minutes for each cubic yard of capacity. The mixture shall be con-
tinuously agitated until all of the concrete has been discharged from
the mixer drum. The total elapsed time between the introduction of
water to the batch and depositing the complete mix in the forms shall
not exceed 60 minutes for concrete mixed in transit mixers. The manu-
facturer's guaranteed capacity of the drum shall not be exceeded.
B-8. Placing; Concrete shall be placed only in the presence of the
District's Representative and not until all form work, reinforcement,
installation of fixtures to be embedded, and preparation of concrete
surfaces to be bonded have been inspected and approved by him.
Concrete surfaces on or against which other concrete is to be placed
shall be thoroughly cleaned of surface laitance and clean aggregate
shall be exposed. Abrasive blast cleaning may be required.
Each concreting operation shall be continuous until the placing in the
course, section or monolith is completed. Fresh concrete shall not be
permitted to fall from a height greater than 6 feet without the use of
adjustable length pipes or "elephant trunks".
In order to assure that there will be no interruption in such continuous
placing, the Contractor shall have available standby concrete mixing
equipment ready for use in case of breakdown, or he shall make arrange-
ments, satisfactory to the District's Representative, with the supplier
of the concrete, if transit mix concrete is being used, so that the Dis-
trict's Representative may be assured that once placement is started it
can be completed without interruption. The vibrating equipment, includ-
ing standby equipment, shall be at the site and tested in the presence
of the District's Representative during the day preceding the planned
day of placement.
Appropriate mechanical vibration shall be used in placing concrete to
eliminate stone pockets and voids, to consolidate each layer with that
previously placed, to completely embed reinforcing bars and other fix-
tures, and to bring just enough fine material to the faces of top and
exposed surfaces to produce a smooth, dense and even texture. Vibrators
shall be of the high frequency internal type and the number in use shall
be ample to consolidate the incoming concrete to a proper degree within
15 minutes after it is deposited in the forms. In all cases, at least
2 vibrators shall be available at the site. The use of external vibrators
for compacting concrete will be permitted when the concrete is otherwise
inaccessible for adequate compaction, provided the forms are constructed
sufficiently rigid to resist displacement or damage from external vibra-
tion and the vibrators are approved by the District's Representative.
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Portland Cement Concrete - 2
B-9. Forms; All forms shall be smooth, mortar-tight, true to the re-
quired lines and grades, and of sufficient strength to resist any apprec-
iable amount of springing out of shape during the placing of concrete.
All foreign matter shall be removed from forms before concrete is placed
therein. Forms previously used shall be thoroughly cleaned before re-use.
Prior to placing concrete, all forms shall be oiled with a high penetrat-
ing form oil which leaves no film on the surface that can be absorbed by
the concrete. Immediately prior to placing concrete, all forms shall be
thoroughly wetted.
Forms shall not be removed until the concrete has hardened sufficiently
to safely support its own weight and possible construction loads. Forms
supporting concrete members which are subject to direct bending stress
shall not be removed or struck until concrete test cylinders show that
a strength of not less than 2,500 psi in compression has been attained.
In no case, however, shall forms be removed or released prior to the ex-
piration of 48 hours following placing of the concrete.
Forms for all surfaces which will not be completely enclosed or hidden
below the final surface of the ground shall be made of surfaced plywood.
Insofar as practicable, forms shall be so constructed that the form marks
will conform to the general lines of the structure. All sharp edges shall
be chamfered with 1-inch by 1-inch triangular fillets.
Form clamps and ties with effective water stops shall be used to maintain
accurately the specified wall thicknesses. These ties shall be either of
the threaded or snap-off type so that no metal will be left within 1-1/2
inches of the surface of the wall. The use of twisted wire ties will not
be permitted.
B-10. Openings; Pipe sleeves, inserts for pipe connections, anchors,
and forms for pipe holes must be accurately placed and securely fastened
to the forms in such a manner that the placing of concrete will not alter
their alignment or location.
B-ll. Joints; Construction joints shall be made only where shown on the
Plans unless otherwise approved by the District's Representative. In case
of emergency, construction joints shall be placed as directed by the Dis-
trict's Representative.
After the pour has been completed to the construction joint and the con-
crete has hardened, the entire surface of the joint shall be thoroughly
cleaned of surface laitance and clean aggregate shall be exposed by
abrasive blast cleaning. Wire brushing and air and water jets may be
used while the concrete is fresh provided results equal to abrasive blast
cleaning are obtained.
Construction joints shall be keyed. Keyways shall be formed by bevelled
strips or boards placed at right angles to the direction of shear. Ex-
cept where otherwise shown on the Plans or specified, keyways shall be
at least 1-1/2 inches in depth over at least 25 percent of the area of
the section.
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Portland Cement Concrete - 3
When it is necessary to make a joint because of an emergency, reinforc-
ing steel shall be furnished and placed across the joint as directed by
the Engineer. Furnishing and placing such reinforcing steel shall be at
the Contractor's expense and no payment will be made therefor.
B-12. Curing: Except as described below, all newly placed concrete shall
be kept wet by the continuous application of water for the first 7 days
after the concrete has been placed.
Concrete surfaces which will be below ground after backfilling and minor
structures, such as pipe headwalls, pipe anchor blocks, catch basins, and
the like, may be cured by the application of pigmented curing compound.
The curing compound shall meet the specifications of AASHO Designation:
M 148, Type II, White Pigmented. Application shall be done with hand
spraying equipment in a manner satisfactory to the District's Repre-
sentative. Surfaces to be cured by the pigmented curing compound method
shall be kept moist or wet until the curing compound is applied, and the
curing compound shall not be applied until all patching or surface finish-
ing has been completed. The pigmented curing compound shall not be applied
to the surfaces of construction joints or on reinforcing steel.
E-13. Surface Finishes; During the placing of concrete, care shall be
taken in vibrating or otherwise consolidating the concrete to insure sur-
faces of even texture free from voids. Immediately after the forms have
been removed, all form bolts shall be removed to a minimum depth of 1-1/2
inches below the surface of the concrete. All holes and depressions caused
by the removal or cutting back of such form bolts shall be cleaned and
filled with cement mortar composed of 1 part by volume of cement to 2
parts of sand. The mortar shall contain sufficient white cement to tint
the mortar to the shade of the surrounding concrete. Care shall be exer-
cised to obtain a good bond with the concrete.
All rock pockets and honeycombed areas shall be repaired by chipping
back to solid concrete and filling the resulting space in the same man-
ner as specified for bolt holes. This work shall be done immediately
following the removal of forms. If in the judgment of the District's
Representative rock pockets are of such an extent or character as to
affect the strength of the structure materially or to endanger the life
of the steel reinforcement, he may declare the concrete unacceptable and
require the removal and replacement of that portion of the structure.
Except for surfaces which are to be buried, all fine and other projections
shall be removed and the surfaces shall be brushed with stiff wire brushes
or otherwise finished until a uniform color has been obtained. The use of
carborundum stones may be required to remove unsightly bulges or discolor-
ations. The object of these operations is to obtain smooth, even surfaces
of uniform appearance, free from unsightly bulges or depressions due to
form marks and other imperfections. The Contractor's attention is called
to the fact that the degree of care exercised in building forms and the
character of materials used in formwork are the main factors affecting
the amount of finishing which will be required.
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Portland Cement Concrete - 4
All flat work shall be finished and worked from the poured slab and
floated and troweled to a smooth, hard finish.
B-14. Reinforcement; Reinforcing bars shall be deformed and shall
be either Billet Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement, ASTM Designation
A-15, or A408, or Rail-Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement, ASTM Des-
ignation A16. The various grades of steel may not be used interchange-
ably in structures.
Bars shall not be bent or straightened in a manner that would injure
the material. Hooks shall conform to the manual of standard practice
of the American Concrete Institute.
Main reinforcing bars shall not be spliced except as shown on the Plans.
Splices at points of maximum stress shall be avoided. Where bars are
spliced, they shall be lapped at least 30 bar diameters and wired to-
gether to provide a minimum distance of 2 inches between the splice and
the nearest adjacent bar or surface of the concrete. Splices shall be
staggered at least 40 bar diameters.
Metal reinforcement shall be accurately placed as shown on the Plans
and shall be securely held in position by wiring at intersections with
No. 16 or larger wire and by using concrete spacers. The minimum spacing
center to center of parallel bars shall be three times the diameter, but
in no case shall the clear distance between bars be less than 2 inches.

C-2. General Installation Procedures and Workmanship; Prior to laying
the pipe, the bottom of the trench shall be graded and prepared to provide
uniform bearing throughout the entire length of each joint of pipe. Bell
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 semicircular bottom conforming to the grade to which the
pipe is to be laid. The pipe shall be accurately placed in the trench
on the prepared foundation to the lines and grades shown on the Plans.
Fittings shall be supported independently of the pipe. Deflections at
rubber gasket or flexible coupling joints shall not exceed 4 degrees nor
that recommended by the manufacturer. Bare cinch or choker type cables
shall not be used for handling pipe. Slings for pipe handling shall be
belts of sufficient width to prevent damage to the exterior coating.
Pipe shall be carefully handled to prevent damage to the lining and
coating.
No joint shall be backfilled until it has been inspected by the District's
Representative. Sufficient trench space shall be left open in the
vicinity of each joint to permit visual inspection around the entire
periphery of the joint.
C-3. Rubber ring joints shall be completed in the trench. The ends of
the pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned and positioned for joining. Vege-
table soap solution shall be applied to the inside of the bell, and the
rubber gasket snapped into the groove on the spigot end. The bell end
shall be buttered with cement mortar in such a manner and in sufficient
quantity to completely fill the recess between the respective linings of
the two joined sections of pipe. The spigot end shall then be entered
into the bell end of the adjacent pipe section the distance shown on the
shop drawings.
Immediately after joining, the pipe interior shall be swabbed to remove
all excess mortar by drawing an approved type of swab or squeegee through
the pipe. For pipe 24 inches in nominal inside diameter and larger, a
1/2-inch recess between adjacent linings shall be provided and later
pointed from the inside with cement mortar and troweled smooth.
The outside joint recess shall be grouted with cement mortar after a
fabric diaper has first been placed around the joint and tightened se-
curely to prevent leakage while the mortar is being poured. The diaper
shall be made of heavy duty sail cloth of sufficiently close weave to
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Steel Water Pipe and Fittings - 5
prevent cement loss from the mortar. The fabric shall be hemmed on each
edge and shall contain a metal strap within each hem sufficiently longer
than the circumference of the pipe to allow a secure attachment of the
diaper to the pipe. The diaper width will depend on pipe size and design
and shall be the width recommended by the manufacturer. Following
installation of the diapers, the joints shall be poured and rodded from
one side only until the mortar comes up to the top of the diaper on the
opposite side. Approximately one hour subsequent to the pouring of the
joint, the joint shall be rechecked and if any settlement, leakage, or
shrinkage has taken place, the joint shall be refilled with mortar.
The joint shall be stripped, repaired if necessary, and given a heavy
coating of curing compound at the earliest practicable time after the
mortar has hardened sufficiently. Joint mortar shall be protected from
direct sunlight for at least 14 days by covering with burlap or heavy
paper unless backfilled prior to the expiration of the 14 day period.
Water shall not be turned into the pipe until 36 hours after placing
joint mortar.
C-4. Welded joints shall be completed in the trench. When the pipe is
being laid, both the spigot and the bell ends shall be thoroughly cleaned
of all foreign matter and all protective material shall be removed from
the surfaces that are to be in contact at 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 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 nominal inside diameter and larger, a
1/2-inch recess between adjacent linings shall be provided and later
pointed from the inside with cement mortar and troweled smooth.
All welding shall be done by experienced welders qualified in accordance
with the Standards of the American Welding Society. Welding electrodes
shall comply with the requirements of ASTM Designation A-233.
In all hand welding, the metal shall be deposited in successive layers
and the minimum number of passes or beads in the completed weld shall be
as follows:
Steel Cylinder Thickness, Fillet Weld
Inches Minimum Number of Passes
Smaller than 3/16" 1
3/16" and 1/4" 2
5/16" 3
3/8" 3
Where welded joints are designated on the Plans, the pipe may be joined
with rubber gaskets as specified in the above provision for rubber ring
joints in lieu of slip (lap) joints. The outside recess between the bell
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Steel Water Pipe and Fittings - 6
and spigot shall then be caulked with a rod to facilitate the welding.
The weld shall be continuous for the full circumference of the pipe.
After the joints have been welded, the joint shall be grouted with
cement mortar in the same manner as specified for rubber ring joints.
C-5. Butt strap closure joints shall be completed in the trench after
the pipe has been laid to the alignment and grade shown on the Plans.
The butt straps shall be of the same thickness as the pipe wall, at least
ten inches (10") wide, and rolled to fit the outside diameter, and shall
be centered over the ends of the pipe sections they are to join. They
shall be field welded to the outside of the pipe along both edges by full
circumferential fillet welds or one of the edges may be shop welded and
other field welded. A half of a standard five inch (5") pipe coupling
shall be shop welded to the top section of the butt strap to permit
access for mortaring the inside of the joint. After welding and mortaring
this coupling shall be closed with a standard cast iron plug. Welding
shall be done in the same manner as specified for welded joints.
The interior of the joints shall be filled with stiffly-plastic mortar
and finished off smoothly with the inside of the pipe. Wire mesh, 2" x
4" x No. 13 gauge clean and free from rust, shall be applied to the ex-
terior of the joints so that the wires on the 2-inch spacing run circum-
ferentially around the pipe. The wires on the 4-inch spacing shall be
crimped in such a manner that the mesh will be held 3/8-inch from the
metal joint surface. The mesh shall be lapped a minimum of 8-inches and
shall be securely wired in position.
The joint exterior shall be coated with mortar to a minimum thickness of
1-1/2". Immediately prior to applying mortar to the interior or exterior
of the joints, a cement wash shall be applied to the metal surfaces to
be coated.
C-6. Flanged Joints; Flange faces shall be wire brushed and gaskets
shall be thoroughly cleaned just prior to joining. Following the tighten-
ing of the bolts, all exposed metal surfaces including bolts and nuts
shall be cleaned by wire brushing and then primed with a bitumastic
primer. Following application of the primer, the flanged joints shall
be covered with fabric diapers as specified for rubber ring joints except
that the diapers shall contain a metal insert within the fabric to
provide sufficient clearance between the flanges and diaper to insure a
minimum thickness of 1/2-inch coal tar coating over all flanges, nuts
and bolts. The formed diapers shall then be filled from the top with
hot bitumastic coupling compound, or District approved equal. The
joints shall be poured from one side only until the compound shows on the
other side. All metal surfaces shall be coated with compound to a
minimum thickness of 1/4-inch.
C-7. Flexible coupling joints shall be completed in the trench after the
pipe has been laid to the alignment and grade shown on the Plans. Each
pipe end for a distance of 6 to 8 inches back from the end shall be thor-
oughly cleaned to remove oil, dirt, loose scale, rust and other foreign
Carlsbad MWD 080966 Steel Water Pipe and Fittings - 7
matter. Flanges, gaskets, and sleeves shall then be assembled on the
pipe ends in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Gaskets,
pipe ends and coupling sleeve flares shall be lubricated with a vegetable
soap compound to facilitate the joining. Coupling sleeves shall be accu-
rately centered over the pipe ends and one pipe end shall touch the
coupling sleeve centering stop if the coupling sleeve is so equipped.
Bolts shall be tightened to the torque recommended by the manufacturer
with a torque wrench in the presence of the District's Representative.
All exposed coupling and pipe metal surfaces shall be cleaned, primed,
diapered and encased with hot coal tar compound as specified for flanged
joints.
C-8. Cement mortar for buttering, pointing, and grouting shall consist
of one part cement to one and one-half parts of washed plaster sand con-
forming to the latest revision of ASTM Specification C-35, mixed with
the minimum amount of water which will permit placing the mortar.
C-9. Concrete thrust and anchor blocks shall be placed as required and
shall consist of Class B Portland Cement Concrete containing not less
than 5 sacks of cement per cubic yard and shall conform to the applicable
provisions of Section 90 of the State of California, Department of Public
Works, Division of Highways, Standard Specifications dated July, 1964.
Concrete thrust and anchor blocks shall be placed between the undisturbed
ground and the fittings 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 as directed by the District's Representative. The concrete shall be
so placed, unless specifically shown otherwise, so that the pipe joints
and fittings will be accessible for repair. All concrete supports shall
be allowed to cure for at least 5 days prior to filling the supported
section of pipeline.
C-10. Preventing Foreign Matter from Entering the Pipe; At all times
when the pipe laying is not in progress, the open end of the pipe shall
be closed by a wooden plug or by other means approved by the District's
Representative.
C-ll. Testing and Sterilization; All steel pipe water mains and appurte-
nances attached thereto shall be tested and sterilized in accordance with
the Standard Specifications for Testing and Sterilization.
D. Measurement and Payment;

STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
FOR
TESTING AND STERILIZATION
A. General; These Specifications designate the requirements for field test-
ing and sterilization of all water mains and appurtenances intended for the
conveyance of potable water under pressure.
A-l. Scope of Work; The Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials
(including water), tools, and equipment necessary to provide and complete
field testing and sterilization as specified.
B. Field Testing;
B-l. After the pipe and all appurtenances have been laid and backfilled
sufficiently for required restraint, they shall be subjected to a 4-hour
hydrostatic pressure test. This test shall consist of subjecting the
pipeline to a hydrostatic pressure of 50 psi in excess of the designated
working pressure specified for the class of pipe at the low point in the
section being tested. The pressure test shall be made subsequent to any
trench backfill compactive effort with heavy duty compacting equipment
having an overall weight in excess of 125 pounds.
B-2. Maximum Length of Pipe to be included in any one test shall be not
more than 2500 feet or the distance between valves, whichever is greater.
B-3. Preparation; The line shall be filled with water at least 72 hours
prior to testing. While filling and immediately prior to testing, all
air shall be expelled from the pipeline. Where air valves or other suit-
able outlets are not available for releasing air or applying the test,
taps and fittings approved by the District's Representative shall be
installed and later securely plugged.
B-4. Procedure; The pressure in the pipeline shall be pumped up to the
specified test pressure. When the test pressure has been reached, the
pumping shall be discontinued until the pressure in the line has dropped
25 psi, at which time the pressure shall again be pumped up to the speci-
fied test pressure. This procedure shall be repeated until 4 hours have
elapsed from the time the specified test pressure was first applied. At
the end of this period, the pressure shall be pumped up to the test pres-
sure for the last time.
B-5. Leakage shall be considered as the total amount of water pumped into
the pipeline during the 4-hour period, including the amount required in
reaching the test pressure for the final time. Leakage shall not exceed
the rate of 4 gallons per inch of nominal inside diameter per 1000 feet
of pipe per 24 hours. If leakage exceeds this rate, the weak points shall
be located and stopped, and all defective pipe, fittings, valves and other
accessories discovered shall be removed and replaced with sound material
and the test shall be repeated until the leakage does not exceed the rate
specified above. All perceptible leaks shall be similarly repaired.
