(a) Authority of the District's Representative; The District shall ap-
point a representative who shall have general supervision and direction of the
work and may be represented on the work by duly authorized assistants. The
District's Representative shall decide any and all questions which may arise as
to the quality or acceptability of materials furnished and work performed, and
as to the manner of performance 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 fulfillment of the Contract on the part of the contractor.
(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 reasonably inferable therefrom. All such drawings delivered to the contrac-
tor 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 work,
i'he Plans for the work will show conditions as they are supposed or believed
by the Engineer to exist; but it is not intended or to be inferred that the
conditions as shown thereon constitute a representation by the District or
its officers that such conditions are actually existent, nor shall the District
or any of its officers 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.
Standard Provisions - 3
(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 approved Flans, or if no specific elevations are
shown on the plans, the elevations and grades furnished by the Engineer shall
govern.
(d) Coordination of Plans and Specifications; The Specifications, Plans,
and all supplementary documents are essential parts of the contract, and a
requirement occurlng in one is as binding as though occuring in all. They
are intended to be cooperative, to describe and provide for a complete work.
(e) Supervision by Contractor; The contractor shall give efficient
supervision to the work, using his best skill and attention. Unless personally
present 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 pro-
gress, and any written or verbal directions or requests of the Engineer
delivered to such representative shall'have the same force and effect as if
delivered to the contractor personally.
(f) Reference Points; The Engineer shall establish all reference points
and survey all lines and grades necessary for the execution of the work. The
contractor shall carefully preserve all reference points, bench marks and
other survey points and, in case of willful or careless destruction, he shall
be liable for and charged with the cost of their replacement, and of any ex-
pense resulting from their unnecessary loss or distrubance. Such surveys shall
constitute instructions from the Engineer, and the contractor shall not pro-
ceed with the work until he has made timely demand upon the Engineer for such
surveys, and until all necessary points, lines and grades have been established.
(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 District's
Representative will be subject to rejection.
No valves, fittings, or other materials shall be installed until inspected and
approved by the District's Representative or his representative. All instal-
lations 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 District'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.
Standard Provisions -
(h) 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 Representative
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 set forth in Section II of the Special
Provisions, and shall not be considered cause for extension of the time for
completion, and further, such suspension of work shall not entitle the con-
tractor to any additional compensation.
(i) Errors or Discrepancies Noted by Contractor: If the contractor,
either before commencing work or in the course of the work, finds any dis-
crepancy between the Specifications and the.drawings, or between either 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
of conflict, will be at his own risk and he shall bear all costs rising there-*
from.
(j) Equipment; The contractor must furnish adequate equipment to per**
form properly the work in a workmanlike manner in accordance with these
Specifications. 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.
(k) Shop Drawings: The contractor shall at his own expense furnish for
the approval of the Engineer shop drawings for all material and equipment he
proposes to use. These shop drawings shall be checked by the Engineer and
returned to the contractor within five (5) working days of their receipt by
the Engineer. All shop drawings shall be submitted in quadruplicate, ac**
companied 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.
Standard Provisions « 5
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

material or process which shall be substantially equal or better in every re-
spect 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 the 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

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
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

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 pro-
ject. 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 con-
tractor shall cease work temporarily and which contractor shall continue, or

Standard Provisions »- 12
such specialty work with his own organization and is equipped to do so, or
unless the District determines that the performance of specialty work by
specialty contractors will result in increased cost or inordinate delays, pro-
vided however, that.the contractor shall not subcontract any work to be
performed or any materials to be furnished in the performance of this contract
without the prior written consent of the District. If the contractor shall
subcontract any part of this contract, the contractor shall be as fully re~
sponsible 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, 004ss,ions of persons directly employed by himself.
Nothing contained in the contract documents shall create any contractual 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, unless
specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract in question, approved
in writing as satisfactory to the District.
(b) Assignment of Contrast; 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

tract in favor of all persons, firms or corporations rendering such services
or supplying such materials.

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

pension of work shall not relieve the contractor of his responsibility to
complete the work within the time limit set forth in Section II of the Special
Standard Provisions - 13

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 consideration, along
with other facts and conditions deemed by him to be proper, the ratio of the dif-
ficulty of the work done to the probable difficulties of the work to be done.
The District snail retain ten per cent (10%) of such estimated value as part
security for the fulfillment of the contract by the contractor, and shall
within ten (10) days after the preparation of such estimate pay to the con-

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

and to the lines and grades shown on the plans and as herein specified.
B. Materials and Fabrication
The materials and fabrication shall be in accordance with the requirements of
Federal Specifications for Pipe; Pressure, Reinforced Concrete, Pretensloned
Reinforcement (Steel Cylinder Type) SS-P-381, September 14» 1955.
The pipe to be Installed at the various locations is identified on the plans by
symbol indicating type of pipe, inside^ diameter of pipe and pressure class. For
example, pipe identified as C-14"~150 would be the designation for concrete
cylinder pipe, 14" Inside diameter pipe, 150 psi working pressure. The inside
diameter of the pipe shall be measured to the internal face of the cement mortar
lining.
C. Installation
C-l. Excavation &fld Backflllr Excavation and backfill shall conform to
the Standard Specifications for Earthwork.
C-2. Installation Procedures and Workmanship: Prior to laying the pipe,
the bottom of the trench shall be graded and prepared to provide a firm and
uniform bearing throughout the entire length of each joint of pipe. 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 semi-circular bottom conforming to the grade to which the pipe Is
to be laid. Pipe shall not be laid on earth mounds.
When the pipe is being laid, the ends of the pipe shall be thoroughly
cleaned and the gasket placed on the groove on the spigot ring and the
spigot end of the pipe shall then be entered into the bell of the adjoining
pipe and forced into position. The gasket and the inside surface of the
bell shall be lubricated with a suitable vegetable soap compound which will
facilitate the telescoping of the joints. Just prior to joining the two
ends together,, each end of the pipe shall be "buttered" with cement mortar
in such a manner and in sufficient quantity to completely fill the space
between the respective mortar linings. After the Joining is completed the
pipe interior shall be swabbed to remove all excess mortar by drawing an
approved type swab or squeegie through the pipe.
Concrete Cylinder Pipe Standards - 1
The outside Joint recess shall be poured with grout after a felt sheet or
other suitable material has first been placed around the pipe at the joints
and held securely in place to prevent leakage while the joint is being
poured. The grout shall consist of one part cement to one and one-half
part sand and be mixed to the consistency of thick cream. The Joints shall
be poured and rodded from one side only until the grout shows on the other
side. Care shall be used" to fill the Joint completely. Approximately
two hours subsequent to the pouring of the joint it shall be rechecked and
if any settlement, leakage or shrinkage has taken place the Joint shall be
refilled with grout.
C-3. Field Welded Joints: : Where welded joints are designated on the plans,
the pipe shall first be Joined with rubber gaskets as above described. The
outside recess between the bell and spigot may then be filled with wire to
facilitate the welding. The weld shall be continuous for the full circum-
ference of the joint.
C-4. Concrete Thrust Blocks: Concrete thrust blocks shall be placed as
shown on the plans and shall consist of Class B Portland cement concrete
containing not less than five (5) sacks of Portland cement per cubic yard
and shall conform to the applicable provisions of Sections 26 and 27 of the
State of California, Department of Public Works, Division of Highways
Standard Specifications dated August, 195^> except that the cement used shall
conform to ASTM Specifications C 150-49 Type II. Concrete blocks shall be
placed between the undisturbed ground and the fitting to be anchored.
Quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe and undisturbed
soil shall be as shown on the plans. The concrete shall be so placed, unless
specifically shown otherwise on the plans, that the pipe joints and fittings
will be accessible to repairs.
C-5. Preventing Foreign Matter from Entering the Pipe: At times when the
pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of the pipe shall be closed by
a wooden plug or by other means. This provision shall apply during the noon
hour as well as overnight.
C-6. Testing: After the pipe has been laid, the pipe line or any valved
section of it shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of fifty
pounds per square inch (50 psi) in excess of the designated working pressure
for the pipe being tested.
The duration of the pressure test shall be four (4) hours and the test shall
be conducted in the following manner:
All air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, if air valves,
hydrants or other outlets are not available, taps shall be made at the high
points in the pipe line to expell the air and these taps shall be tightly
plugged afterwards. The pressure in the pipe line shall then 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 specified
test pressure. This procedure shall be repeated until four (4) hours have
elapsed from the time the specified test pressure was first applied. At the
end of the four (4) hour period the pressure shall be pumped up to the test
pressure for the last time.
Concrete Cylinder Pipe Standards - 2
The leakage shall be considered as the total amount of water pumped into the
pipe line during the four hour period Including the amount required in reaching
the test pressure for the final time. Leakage shall not exceed the rate of
twenty (20) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per twenty-four (24)
hours.
Any noticeable leak shall be stopped and all defective pipe, fittings, valves
and other accessories discovered in consequence of the test shall be removed
and replaced by the Contractor with sound material and the test shall be re-.
peated until the total leakage during a test of four (4) hours duration does
not exceed the rate specified above.
All concrete anchor blocks shall be allowed to cure for at least five (5) days
prior to testing and all mortared joints shall be allowed to cure for not less
than three (3) days prior to testing.
C-7- Sterilization: Subsequent to the pressure tests and prior to acceptance
of the work, the entire pipe line, including all valves, fittings and other
accessories shall be sterilized in accordance with American Water Works
Association "Standard Procedure for Disinfecting Water Mains, AWWA C 601-54".
Treated water shall be retained in the pipes for at least twenty-four (24)
hours and a residule at not less than ten (10) ppm shall be produced in all
parts of the line after the twenty-four (24) hour period has elapsed.
During the sterilization process all valves and other accessories shall be
operated. After chlorination, the water shall be flushed from the line at
its extremities until the replacement water tests are equal chemically and
bacterlologically to those of the permanent source of supply.
The water required for sterilization and flushing shall be furnished by and
at the expense^ of the Contractor.
D. Measurement and Payment
D-l. Measurement: Measurement for payment for concrete cylinder pipe and
fittings will be made along the center line of the pipe from pipe end to valve
flange or to center line of intersecting pipe, as the case may be, as actually
constructed, complete, in place and in accordance with the plans and these
specifications.

shall conform to the provisions of Section 26 of the Standard Specifi-
cations of the California Division of Highways dated August, 1954. The
maximum nominal size of coarse aggregate shall be one and one-half inch
(1-1/2").
8~3. Water; The water used shall be of potable quality.
8-4. Admixtures; Admixtures to prevent segregation and to improve
workability or to accelerate the setting of the concrete will be per-
mitted provided the admixture proposed shall first be approved in
writing by the Engineer and the proportions of the admixture to be
used shall be fixed by Engineer.
B-5. Strength Requirements: All concrete shall be proportioned to
attain a minimum cylinder strength of 3,000 psi in twenty-eight (28)
days. The compressive strengths are to be determined in accordance with
ASTM C39. Not less than six 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
Engineer. The contractor shall notify the Engineer of his proposed
source of aggregate in sufficient advance time to permit the design of
the mix.
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 Engineer
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
Portland Cement Concrete Standards ** 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 ninety (90) seconds for a
stationary mixer smaller than two (2) cubic yards in capacity and for not
less than two (2) minutes for a larger stationary mixer.
If transit mix concrete is used, the mixing time shall not be less than
three (3) minutes for each cubic yard of capacity* The mixture shall
be continuously 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 sixty (60) minutes for concrete mixed in transit mixers*
Placing; Concrete shall be placed only in the presence of a duly
authorized representative of the Engineer and not until all form work,
reinforcement, installation of fixtures to be embedded, and preparation
of concrete surfaces to be bonded to have been approved by him. All
concrete placed in violation of this provision will be rejected.
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 by wire brushing, sand blasting or air and water
pressure jet.
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 six feet (6*) 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 stand-by concrete mixing
equipment ready for use in case of breakdown or he shall make arrangements,
satisfactory to the Engineer, with the supplier of concrete, if transit
mix concrete is being used, so that the Engineer may be assured that
once placement is started it can be completed without interruption. The
vibrating equipment, including stand-by equipment, shall be at the site
and tested in the presence of the Engineer'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
fixtures, 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 ttie number
in use shall be ample to consolidate the incoming concrete to a proper
degree within fifteen (15) minutes after it is deposited in the forms.
In all cases, at least two (2) vibrators shall be available at the site.
The use of approved external vibrators for compacting concrete will be
permitted when the concrete is otherwise inaccessible for adequate com**
paction, provided the forms are constructed sufficiently rigid to resist
displacement or damage from external vibration.
Portland Cement Concrete Standards » 2
B-9. Forms; All forms shall be smooth, mortar tight, true to the
required lines and grades and of sufficient strength to resist any
appreciable amount of springing out of shape during the placing of
concrete. All foreign matter shall be removed from forms before con-
crete 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 penetrating 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
expiration of forty-eight (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 one inch by one inch (1M x 1") triangular
filets.
Form clamps and ties with effective water stops shall be used to main-
tain 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 one and one-half inches (1-1/2") of the surface of the wail. 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 and stripping
of forms will not alter their alignment or location. Openings may be
formed at sleeve locations and sleeves placed and grouted with cement
mortar containing fifteen (15) pounds of EMBECO, or equal, per bag of
cement, after wall concrete is placed.
B-ll. Joints; Construction joints shall be made only where shown on
the plans unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. In case of emergency,
construction joints shall be placed as directed by the Engineer. Con-
struction joints shall be mechanically bonded by means of keys cast into
the joint surfaces.
B-12. Curing; All newly placed concrete shall be kept wet by the con-
tinuous application of water for the first seven (7) days after the
concrete has been placed. The use of curing compounds will not be per-
mitted.
B-13. ourf ace Finishes; During the placing of concrete, care shall be
taken in vibrating or otherwise consolidating the concrete to insure
surfaces of even texture free from voids. Immediately after the forms
Portland Cement Concrete Standards » 3
have been removed, all form bolts shall be removed to a minimum depth of
one and one-half inches (1-1/2") below the surface of the concrete. All
holes and depressions caused by the removal or cutting back of such
form bolts shall be cleaned arid filled with cement mortar composed of
one part by volume of cement to two parts of sand. The mortar shall con-
tain fifteen (15) pounds of EftBECO, or equal, per bag of cement used.
Care shall be exercised to obtain a perfect 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 manner
as specified for bolt holes* This work shall be done immediately fol-
lowing the removal of forms. If in the judgment of the Engineer 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 reinforce-
ment, 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 fins and other pro-
jections shall be removed and the surfaces shall be brushed with stiff
wire brushes or otherwise finished until a uniform color has been ob-
tained. The use of carborundum stones may be required to remove
unsightly bulges or discolorations. The object of these operations is
to obtain smooth, even surfaces of uniform appearance, free from un-
sightly 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.
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 conform to the requirements
of the Standard Specifications for Minimum Requirements for the Deforma-
tions of Deformed Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement, ASTM Designation
A305 and of the Standard Specifications for Billet Steel Bars for Concrete

Rail-Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement, ASTM Designation A16; or
Standard Specifications for Axle-Steel Bars for Concrete Reinforcement,
ASTM Designation A160.
Welded wire fabric or cold-drawn Wire for concrete reinforcement shall
conform to the requirements of the Standard Specifications for Cold-Drawn
Steel Wire for Concrete Reinforcement, ASTM Designation AB2, or
Standard Specifications for Welded Steel Wire Fabric for Concrete Re-
inforcement, ASTM Designation A185.
Bends for stirrups and ties shall be made around a pin having a diameter
not less than three (3) times the minimum thickness of the bar. Bends
for other bars shall be made around a pin having a diameter not less
than six (6) times the minimum thickness of the bar, except that for
bars larger than one inch (1M) the pin shall be not less than eight <8)
times the minimum thickness of the bar. All bars shall be bent cold.
Portland Cement Concrete Standards - 4
Metal reinforcement shall be accurately placed in accordance with the
plans and shall be securely held in position by wiring at intersections
with No. 16 or larger wire and by using concrete spacers. Reinforcement,
at the time concrete is placed, shall be free from rust, scale or
other coatings that will destroy or reduce the bond. Metal supports
may be used provided no portion of the support extends to within one
and one-half inch (1-1/2") of the surface of the concrete. Wooden
supports shall not be used*
3-15. Rubber Water Stops: Water stops shall be extruded from plain or
synthetic rubber as manufactured by the Gates Rubber Company, or approved
equal. Special corner sections shall be shop fabricated. Shop and
field splices shall be full molded in a splicing mold and shall have a
tensile strength of not less than fifty per cent (50%) of the unspliced
section. Stops shall be firmly supported during concrete placement to
prevent dislocation and to insure that ends remain at right angles to
the construction joints.

has been lined, a cement mortar coating shall be applied to the outside
of each section of pipe by means of a nozzle or nozzles, through which
the mortar is forcibly expelled against the outside surface of the
pipe in such a manner as to form an even, dense and tightly adhering
coating. During the coating operation, the pipe shall be rotated and
moved in a longitudinal direction beneath the nozzles. The rotation
and longitudinal travel of the pipe shall be uniform and at the proper
rate to provide a coating having a minimum thickness of 3/1*- inch. The

After the Joints have been welded and inspected, a cement mortar coating
shall be applied over the Joint and lapped and bonded with the existing
coating on the pipe in such a manner as to insure continuous uniform
protection over the entire pipe line. Each Joint shall be shaded with
moistened backfill material or at the option of the Contractor coated
with an impervious membrane (Hunt's Process or approved equal) immediately
following the application of the cement mortar coating.
C-2.2. Rubber Ring Joints: When the pipe is being laid, the ends of
the pipe shall be thoroughly cleaned and the gasket placed in the groove
on the spigot ring and the spigot end of the pipe shall then be entered
into the bell of the adjoining pipe and forced into position. The gasket
and the inside surface of the bell shall be lubricated with a suitable
vegetable soap compound which will facilitate the telescoping of the
Joints. Just prior to Joining the two ends together, each end of the
pipe shall be "buttered" with cement mortar In such a manner and in
sufficient quantity to completely fill the space between the respective
mortar linings. After the Joining is completed the pipe interior shall
be swabbed to remove all excess mortar by drawing an approved type swab
or squeegie through the pipe.
The outside Joint recess shall then be poured with grout after a felt
sheet or other suitable material has first been placed around the pipes
at the Joints and held securely in place to prevent leakage while the
Joint is being poured. The grout shall consist of one part cement to

one and one-half parts sand and be mixed to the consistence of thiok.
cream. The Joints shall be poured and rodded from one side only until
the grout shows on the other side. Care shall be exercised to fill
the Joint completely. Approximately two hours subsequent to the
pouring of the Joint, the Joint shall be re-checked and if any settle-
ment, leakage, or shrinkage has taken place, the Joint shall be re-
filled with grout.
C-2.3. Flanged Joints: Flange faces and gaskets shall be thoroughly
cleaned Just prior to Jointing. Following tightening of the bolts,
all exposed metal surfaces shall be cleaned, primed, and coated with
two (2) coats of hot asphalt. Primer shall be Union Bituminous Primer
or approved equal and asphalt shall be Union Pipe Dip or approved
equal. The primer shall be allowed to dry one-half (1/2) to two (2)
hours prior to applying the first hot sling coat of asphalt. The
second hot sling coat of asphalt shall not be applied until the first
has been allowed to cool. Care shall be taken to insure that all
exposed metal surfaces are coated.
C-2.4. Dresser Type Coupling Joints: Just prior to installation
each pipe, and for a distance of 6 to 8 inches back from the end, shall
be thoroughly cleaned to remove oil, dirt, loose scale, rust and other
objectionable foreign matter. Flanges, gaskets, sleeves shall then be
assembled on the pipe ends in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Gaskets, pipe ends and coupling sleeve flare shall
be lubricated with a vegetable soap compound to facilitate the Joining.
Coupling sleeves shall be accurately centered over the pipe ends and
one pipe end shall touch the other or pipe ends 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
and the Contractor shall provide and keep at the site a torque wrench
for checking the torque or the bolts. Prior to applying the asphalt
coating specified below, the torque on all bolts shall be checked in
the presence of the District's representative and, where necessary, shall
be adjusted so that all bolts are at recommended torque.
All exposed coupling and pipe surfaces shall be primed and asphalt
coated as specified for flanged Joints in Paragraph C-2.3. above.
"Buttering" with cement mortar and swabbing or pointing of the inside
of the Joints is not required.
C-3. Concrete Thrust Blocks: Concrete thrust blocks shall be placed as
shown on the plans and shall consist of Class B Portland cement concrete
containing not less than five (5) sacks of Portland cement per cubic yard
and shall conform to the applicable provisions of Sections 26 and 27 of
the State of California, Department of Public Works, Division of Highways
Standard Specifications dated August 195^, except that the cement used shall
conform to A.S.T.M. Specifications C-150-49, Type II. Concrete block shall
be placed between the undisturbed ground and the fitting to be anchored.
Quantity of concrete and the area of bearing on the pipe and undisturbed
soil shall be as shown on the plans or directed by the District's representa-
tive. The concrete shall be so placed, unless specifically shown otherwise
on the plans, that the pipe Joints and fittings will be accessible to repairs.
Steel Pipe Standards - 8
C-4. Preventing Foreign Matter from Entering the Pipes: At times when
the pipe laying is not in progress, the open ends of the pipe shall be
closed by a wooden plug or by other means approved by the District's
representative. This provision shall apply during the noon hour as well
as overnight.
C-5- Testing: After the pipe has been laid, the pipe line or any valved
section of it shall be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of fifty
pounds per square inch (50 psi) in excess of the designated working pressure
for the class of pipe being tested,,
The duration of the pressure test shall be four (4) hours and the test
shall be conducted in the following manner:
All air shall be expelled from the pipe. To accomplish this, if air valves
or hydrants or other outlets are not available, taps shall be made at the
high points in the pipe line to expell the air and these taps shall be
tightly plugged afterwards. The pressure in the pipe line shall then 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 specified test pressure. This procedure shall be repeated until four
(4) hours have elapsed from the time the specified test pressure was first
applied. At the end of the four (4) hour period the pressure shall be pumped
up to the test pressure for the last time.
The leakage shall be considered as the total amount of water pumped into
the pipe line during the four (4) hour period including the amount required
in reaching the test pressure for the final time. Leakage shall not exceed
the rate of twenty (20) gallons per inch of diameter per mile of pipe per
twenty-four (24) hours.
Any noticeable leak shall be stopped and all defective pipe, fittings, valves
and other accessories discovered in consequence of the test shall be removed
and replaced by the contractor with sound material and the test shall be
repeated until the total leakage during a test of four (4) hours duration
does not exceed the rate specified above.
All concrete anchor blocks shall be allowed to cure for at least five (5)
days prior to testing and all mortared joints shall be allowed to cure for
not less than three (3) days prior to testing.
C-6. Sterilization: Subsequent to the pressure tests and prior to
acceptance of the work, the entire pipe line Including all valves, fittings
and other accessories shall be sterilized in accordance with American Water
Works Association "standard Procedure for Disinfecting Water Mains A.W.W.A.
C-601-54".
Steel Pipe Standards - 9
Treated water shall be retained In the pipes for at least twenty-four
(24) hours and a residule at not less than five (5) ppm shall be produced
in all parts of the line after the twenty-four (24) hour period has
elapsed.
During the sterilization process all valves and other accessories shall
be operated. After chlorinatlon, the water shall be flushed from the
line at its extremities until the replacement water tests are equal
chemically and bacteriologically to those of the permanent source of
supply.
D. Measurement and Payment
D-l. Measurement: Measurement for payment for steel pipe water main
and fittings will be made along the center line of the pipe from pipe
end to valve flange or to center line of intersecting pipe, as the case
may be, as actually constructed, complete in place, and in accordance
with the plans and these specifications.
D-2. Payment: The price paid per linear foot for steel pipe water main
shall include full compensation for furnishing all labor, materials,
tools and equipment, and doing all the work involved in furnishing and
installing steel pipe water main and fittings complete in place as herein
specified.

Commissioner, the public interests can best be served thereby.
3- Inspection;
All work shall be subject to inspection by representatives of the
County Road Department, who shall decide, within the provisions of these
regulations and Ordinance No. 989 (New Series), questions which may arise
concerning the acceptability of any portion of the excavation, backfill
and surfacing. Any unsatisfactory work shall be corrected, whenever die-
covered, even if occurring after completion of the work.
4. Preservation of Monuments Within Roadway;
Where plans are submitted, it shall be the responsibility of the Engineer
of the work to show all monuments of record which may be necessary to move.
The Permittee shall not disturb any monuments of record found on the line
of the improvements without permission from the County Surveyor and the
Permittee shall bear the expense of resetting any monuments or stakes which
may be disturbed.
5« Restoration of Existing Improvements;
When, during the progress of the work, it becomes necessary to remove
any existing pavement, sidewalk, curb, landscaping or other existing improve-
ments, the Permittee shall replace or restore the improvement required to be
removed by such work, in a manner that will restore the improvements as
nearly in their original location and condition as is reasonably possible.
6. Notice to Permittee;
Written notice of inspections and of any imperfections in the work de-
livered to the Permittee's agent in charge of the work, shall be considered
as notice to the Permittee.
7- Lights, Barriers, Warning Signals;
The Permittee shall take all necessary measures to protect the traveling
public during the construction. As prescribed in Sec. 83 of Chapter III,
San Diego County Ordinance No. 989 (Hew Series), he shall place and maintain
warning lights and barriers at each end of any excavation or obstruction,
and at distances of not more than fifty feet apart, along such excavation or
obstruction. Obstruction lights shall be on from sunset of each day to sun-
rise of the next day, until such excavation is entirely refilled or such
obstruction is removed. Said barriers shall not be less than three feet in

appreciable distance or where it is necessary to stop or divert traffic for
any reason, flagmen shall be used. Flagmen shall be properly dressed and
equipped so that they are easily recognizable and shall be properly trained
to guide drivers.
Operations of the Permittee or Contractor shall not cause a public road
to become impassable for longer than thirty (30) minute intervals unless he
is specifically authorized in writing by the County Road Department Inspector.
-2-
If operations of the Contractor do cause a public road to become impassable,
but for no longer than thirty (30) minute intervals, and where a detour is
not practical, he shall post and maintain at both ends of the work a V x 5*
sign to read in large letters "WARNING - CONSTRUCTION WORK, TRAFFIC SUBJECT
TO A 30 MINUTE DELAY".
Reference is here made to a pamphlet titled, "Traffic Interference
Control Manual", published by cooperation of the County of San Diego, City
of San Diego, Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company, and San Diego Gas &
Electric Company, as a manual designed as a handy reference guide for
construction and maintenance foremen in an effort to standardize methods
of keeping traffic flowing safely with a minimum of delay.
9« Detours;
If the construction work requires a detour, permission shall be ob-
tained from the Traffic Engineer of the County Road Department prior to
establishment. At the beginning and end of a detour, signs shall be
erected notifying of the detour and the direction of the traffic flow.
These signs shall be similar to Standard Type DR of the California
Division of Highways and shall be at least 12" high by ko" long, yellow
background with the word "DETOUR" in black letters 5 inches high and a
black arrow to indicate the direction. When the detour is maintained after
dark, these signs shall be reflectorized or, if not, they shall be adequately
illuminated. Detour signs shall be placed on barricades at each intersection
along the entire route.
10. Excavation:
a. Length of open trench. There shall not be more than 500 linear
feet of trench opened and partially backfilled per trench excavation machine
in operation, including manhole locations, during any two (2) day period
without advance authorization in writing from the County Road Department
Inspector. The entire area of work, exclusive of 500 feet of open trench
allowable per machine, shall be available for safe vehicular and pedestrian
traffic at all times. Any trench not filled to the surface is included in
the words, "partially filled".
Any violation of this provision will be cause for the Inspector to
stop further excavation until back filling has progressed in accordance
with the requirements.
b. Blasting; In the event that blasting is necessary in excavation,
the blasts shall be blanketed with mats, or other approved protection,
such as to avoid damage or injury to the public.
c. Excavated Material; Excavated material shall be deposited along
the trench side in a manner such as not to obstruct the traffic lane or
cause undue inconvenience to the traveling public. If the roadway section
is insufficient to adequately maintain through traffic, the Permittee or Con-
tractor may be required to remove the spoil material.
11. Backfilling;
a. Backfill to Subgrade; From one (l) foot above the top of the pipe
to the subgrade of the roadway section, or to within one (1) foot of the
earth surface outside of gutters or shoulders, the material for backfill
shall not contain clods which will not readily disintegrate in water nor
stones larger than six (6) inches in diameter. This layer may contain
stones, broken concrete, bituminous pavement or oil cake ranging in size
up to six (6) inches maximum diameter, in quantity not exceeding twenty*
five (25) per cent of the volume, when such coarse materials are well
distributed throughout finer material.
In the earth surface outside of gutters or shoulders, the upper
twelve (12) inches of the trench or excavation shall not contain material
which will not pass a 1-1/2" sieve.
b. Cushion Course; In roadways which are surfaced with Portland
cement concrete, plant-mixed surfacing, road-mixed surfacing or bituminous
surface treatment, the top twelve (12) inches or more of backfill shall
be a cushion course of material having a maximum size so that 100 per cent
will pass a 2-1/2" sieve, shall 'have a Resistance Value (R-Value) not less
than 60 when tested according to the Standard Specifications of the Road
Department of the County of San Diego, shall have a plasticity index of
not more than 7> A.A.S.H.O. test T-91-U2, a linear shrinkage of not more
than 3 per cent, A.S.T.M. test DU27-39, and a sand equivalent of not less
than 30, tested as prescribed by the California State Division of Highways.
In roadways where the surface is decomposed granite or earth, the
top six (6) inches or more of backfill shall consist of a cushion course
of material as described immediately above, except that the maximum size
shall be 3/V,
In locations where the depth of existing decomposed granite exceeds
the thicknesses mentioned above, or where there is a concrete cement treated,
asphalt treated, or other high-type sub-base, such cushion course or sub-
base shall be replaced in kind to a thickness at least equal to that existing
prior to the excavation.
c. Compaction; Down to a trench depth of 10 feet, the backfill shall
be done in such a manner as to obtain a relative compaction of not less than
90 per cent as determined by the impact or field compaction test made as
specified in Section 13, Chapter I, Article A of Standard Specifications of
the Road Department of the County of San Diego. However, on deep excava-
tions, the minimum density required below a trench depth of ten (10) feet
will be reduced to eighty (80) per cent. Compaction may be obtained by
means of machine tamping, water settling or both. Jetting will not be per-
mitted.
When hand tamping or hand operated pneumatic tamping methods are used,
the moistened fill material shall be tamped in uniform layers not to exceed
six (6) inches in thickness, loose measurement.
When flooding method is used, the trench sha^l 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. Sufficient water must be kept in the trench so
that the backfill material will at all times be dropping into water.
-k-
When excavated material in excess of the volume of the pipe is hauled
away or wasted, compaction tests will be taken throughout the project to
determine whether the specified requirements have been met.
d. Backfill in Tunnels; Unless otherwise specified, backfill in
tunnels shall consist of carefully selected earth, sand or gravel, free
from large clods, stones, adobe, or any deleterious matter, and shall be
rammed with proper tools until thoroughly compacted to the density of the
adjacent original material.
12. Resurfacing;
a. 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 the improvements, the surface shall be
restored to the original grade and crown section by the Permitee. 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 by more than 1/8" in ten (10) feet and shall be free from
ruts, depressions and irregularities.
Unless otherwise specified in the Excavation Permit, pavement re-
placement shall be as hereinafter specified.
b. Portland Cement Concrete Pavement; The pavement shall have a
thickness equal to that of the existing pavement plus one (l) inch placed
on the cushion course as hereinbefore specified. The existing pavement
shall be scored to approximately one-fourth its thickness by saw cut
along a straight line deviating not more than two (2) inches in 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 centerline 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.
c. Asphaltic Concrete Pavement; Plant-mixed surfacing, in accordance
with Standard Specifications of the County Road Department, shall have a
thickness equal to that of the existing pavement plus one (1) inch placed
on the cushion course as hereinbefore specified. The new asphaltic concrete
shall be brought up in maximum lifts of two (2) inches, compacted thickness,
each lift being rolled with a steel wheel roller. Before placing pavement,
edges of existing pavement shall be trimmed or cut to a straight line de-
viating not more than two (2) inches in 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
paint binder or asphaltic emulsion shall be applied to the vertical faces
against which the replacement material is to be placed. The complated sur-
face, when ready for acceptance, shall be thoroughly compacted true to
grade and cross-section, and shall, be free from ruts, lumps, depressions or
irregularities.
-5-
Unless otherwise authorized by the County Road Department Inspector,
a seal coat shall be applied to the finish surface.
d. Road Mixed Surfacing; Road mixed surfacing, in accordance with
Standard Specifications of the County Road Department, shall have a minimum
thickness of three (3) inches placed on the cushion Course as hereinbefore
specified. Mixing of materials shall be done off of the roadway. The
new surfacing shall be brought up in maximum lifts of two (2) inches, com-
pacted thickness, each lift being fully compacted before the next lift is
applied. If necessary, hand tamping shall be applied to assure full com-
paction 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 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 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.
Unless otherwise authorized by the County Road Department Inspector,
a seal coat shall be applied to the finished surface.
e. Replacement of Curbs and Sidewalks, etc.; All concrete curbs,
gutters, driveways and sidewalks which are broken or damaged by the Instal-
lation of the improvement shall be reconstructed by and at the expense of
the Contractor, of the same kind of material and in not less than the same
dimensions as the original work, with the minimum requirement that Class A
concrete shall be used. The repairs shall be made by removing and replacing
the entire portions between joints or scores and not by refinishlng the
damaged part.
f. Center-Line Stripes: All pavement surfaces which are replaced, and
which were originally striped for traffic control shall be marked in their
original position with heavy spots of white paint spaced at two (2) foot
intervals using at least a 3-inch brush. A rope not less than one hundred
feet long should be used for alignment.
