About this file
This document is a technical specification section (333100) for sanitary sewerage piping work prepared by the Salt Lake School District for the Nibley Park Elementary School project. The specification outlines the complete scope of gravity-flow, nonpressure sanitary sewerage piping installation outside the building, including special fittings for expansion and deflection, cleanouts, drains, precast concrete manholes, cast-in-place manhole bases, and sewerage pipes. The work must meet a 10-foot head of water pressure rating with watertight joints. Key submittals required include product data for pipe fittings, cleanout materials, and pipes; shop drawings for manholes with design calculations and concrete mix reports; coordination drawings showing pipe sizes, locations, and elevations; and profile drawings at specified scales. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. at Nibley Park Elementary School (2785 South 800 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106) in the northeast parking lot area, with contractors required to attend to be eligible for bidding. Contractors must not interrupt existing sanitary sewerage service without at least two days' advance notice to the Architect, Construction Manager, and Owner, plus written permission before proceeding; any shutdown affecting city infrastructure requires additional city and local sanitary sewer purveyor approval.
The specification mandates the use of PVC sewer pipe and fittings complying with ASTM D 3034 (SDR 35) for pipes 15 inches and smaller and ASTM F 679 for pipes 18 inches and larger, with bell-and-spigot ends and elastomeric seals. Acceptable flexible couplings include unshielded, shielded, ring-type, and split-sleeve options from approved manufacturers. Cleanouts must meet ASME A112.36.2M standards with top-loading classifications selected based on traffic conditions (light-duty for unpaved areas, medium-duty for paved foot-traffic areas, heavy-duty for vehicle-traffic service areas, and extra-heavy-duty for roads). Precast concrete manholes must comply with ASTM C 478 with a minimum 48-inch diameter, eccentric-cone top, and ductile iron or gray iron frames and covers. Cast-in-place concrete for primary structural elements requires 4,000 psi minimum compressive strength with a 0.45 water-cementitious materials ratio; ballast and pipe supports require 3,000 psi minimum. Field quality control includes interior pipe inspections at 24 inches of backfill and project completion, with video logging of the entire system in DVD format submitted monthly to the owner and finally with as-built drawings. Leakage testing between manholes is required, with allowable seepage of less than a specified gallon per 400 feet of 8-inch pipe, prorated for different pipe sizes and distances. All bids must be submitted electronically through Bonfire/U3P, and all questions must be submitted in writing through that system or asked at the mandatory pre-bid site visit.
