1.6 Project Conditions

A. Classification of Excavated Materials: Unclassified excavation as defined herein. No consideration will be given to the nature of the materials encountered in trenching operations or for difficulties encountered during excavating or handling of materials.

And as such no separate or additional payment shall be made by the Owner to the

Contractor.

B. Obstructions

1. Where utilities require adjustment or relocation to construct the Work, and those utilities are shown on the Contract Drawings, relocation or adjustment is a part of the Work and shall be completed by the Contractor at no additional expense to the

Owner.

2. Where utilities require adjustment or relocation to construct the Work, and those utilities are not shown on the Contract Drawings, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer, in writing, and shall wait for a written response from the

Engineer before proceeding. The Contractor shall relocate or adjust utility as directed. The Contractor is required to submit any claims for damage or extra compensation due to the presence of such obstruction or delay in the removal or rearrangement of same in accordance with the General Conditions of the Contract.

If, however, the Contractor does not immediately notify the Engineer in writing, or does not wait for guidance from the Engineer, then the Contractor is solely responsible for any and all costs.

3. The Contractor shall not interfere with persons, firms, corporations or utilities employing protective measures, removing, changing or replacing their property or structures, but allow said persons, firms, corporations or utilities to take such measures as they may consider necessary or advisable under the circumstances, which shall not relieve the responsibilities of the Contractor.

C. Environmental Requirements:

1. The Contractor shall not perform trenching, backfilling or compacting when weather conditions or the condition of materials are such, in the opinion of the

Engineer, that work cannot be performed satisfactorily.

2. The Contractor shall not use frozen materials as backfill nor wet materials containing moisture in excess of the amount necessary for satisfactory compaction.

“Excess moisture” and/or “wet” shall be as determined by the Engineer.

3. Prior to use, the Contractor shall moisten dry backfill material not having sufficient moisture to obtain satisfactory placement or compaction. No separate or additional payment shall be made to the Contractor for water to accomplish said moistening.

4. The Contractor shall plan work so as to provide adequate protection during storms with provisions available for preventing flood damage. Protect installed piping and other Work against damage from uplift due to high ground water levels.

5. Accommodation of Drainage: The Contractor shall keep gutters, sewers, drains and ditches open for surface drainage. No damming or ponding of water in gutters or other waterways will be permitted. Do not direct water flows across or over pavements except through approved pipes or properly constructed troughs. When so required, provide pipes or troughs of such sizes and lengths as required, and place the same as required at no expense to the Owner. Perform grading in the vicinity of trenches so that the ground surface is properly pitched to prevent water running into the trenches.

6. Pumping: The Contractor shall keep excavations free from water during the performance of the Work under this Contract at no expense to the Owner. Build dams and other devices necessary for this purpose and provide and operate pumps of sufficient capacity for dewatering the excavations. Provide for the disposal of the water removed from excavations in such manner as not to cause injury to the public health, to public or private property, to the work of others, to the portion of the work completed or in progress or produce an impediment to the use of streets, roads and highways. Refer to Section 31 23 19 – Dewatering.

7. When it is necessary to haul soft or wet soil material over roadways, the Contractor shall use suitably tight vehicles to prevent spillage, and/or shall ensure that any and all Subcontractors do the same. The Contractor shall be responsible to clear away spillage of materials caused by hauling on roadways, at no additional cost to the Owner.

8. The Contractor shall provide effective dust and mud control as incidental to the project, and to the satisfaction of the Owner and all other AHJs.

9. The Contractor shall not dispose of water in trenches by draining through completed portions of sewer piping.

D. Protection: The Contractor shall assume the risks attending and presence or proximity of overhead or underground public utility and private lines, pipes, conduits and support work for same, existing structures and property of whatever nature. Damages and expenses for direct or indirect injury to such structures or to any person or property by reason of them or by reason of injury to them-whether such structures are or are not shown on the Contract Drawings, by work of this Contract, rests solely with the

Contractor:

1. Outside Rights of Way: The Contractor shall take necessary precautions to protect trees, shrubs, lawns and other such landscaping from damage. Complete restitution work for damages at no additional cost to Owner.

2. Pipe Supports: The Contractor shall adequately support underground pipes or conduits exposed as a result of excavations. Provide adequate support along their entire exposed length. Install such supports in such manner that backfilling can be performed without dislodging such pipes or conduits. Place and carefully compact

Aggregate Backfill around the supports and leave such supports in place as a guard against breakage due to backfill settlement. No additional payment will be due the

Contractor for support material left in place or for the labor of installing and maintaining supports.

3. Temporary Protective Construction- the Contractor shall:

a. Temporary Fence Barricade: Erect and maintain substantial temporary fences surrounding excavation to prevent unauthorized persons from entering such areas.

b. Barricades: Furnish and erect substantial barricades at crossings of trenches, or along trenches, to protect the traveling public.

c. Excavation Covers: Cover open excavation when Work therein is suspended or left unattended, including the end of a workday. For such covers, use materials of sufficient strength and weight to prevent their removal by unauthorized persons, and support required traffic where required.

d. Remove temporary protective construction at the completion of work on the

Project.

e. Comply with any other requirements of the Owner and AHJs, as incidental to the project.

E. Structure Supports: It is the Contractor’s sole responsibility to determine if the support of buildings or structures may be impacted due to trenching. It is the Contractor’s sole responsibility to determine that such buildings or structures be underpinned; or supported and protected; or special sheeting be driven; or that short lengths of trench be opened at one time. Failure of Engineer to recommend said protection shall not relieve Contractor of their responsibility to protect structures near the construction.

F. Accommodation of Traffic: Do Not Obstruct Fire Hydrants. Employ traffic control measures in accordance with PennDOT, Title 67, Chapter 213 and the City of

Harrisburg and any other AHJ’s requirements.

G. Explosives and Blasting: Blasting is not permitted. There shall be no exceptions.

H. Removal of Rock by Means Other Than Blasting: Where removal of rock by means other than blasting is required, in accordance with the requirements of State and local laws, rules and regulations, and utility owner requirements, the Contractor may remove competent rock by the use of mechanical surface impact equipment, or by drilling and hydraulic rock splitting equipment, or by other methods approved in writing by the Engineer.

I. Responsibility for Condition of Excavation: Condition and results of excavation are solely the responsibility of the Contractor.

J. Excess Materials: No right of property in materials is granted to the Contractor of excavated materials prior to backfilling. This provision does not relieve the Contractor of their responsibility to remove and dispose of surplus excavated materials, as incidental to the Project.

K. Borrow Material: When the required quantity of backfill material exceeds the quantity of suitable on-Site material, the Contractor shall provide borrow material, as incidental to the Project. By submission of their bid, the Contractor is consenting that either (1) the Project Work balances, or (2) any cut or fill accounted within the Base Bid

Tabulation is adequate for the Work of the Project. If, however, an unexpected amount of borrow material is needed, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer in writing and shall provide the same adequate time to verify such need, and to view the proposed borrow source to determine the material suitability. Borrow excavation will be subject to the Engineer's approval, and the Contractor must obtain written consent from the same prior to its use. Contractor shall be responsible for all material sampling and testing as may be required by Engineer to determine suitability. This shall be at no additional cost to the Owner.

L. Change of Trench Location or Depth:

1. Should the Engineer require a change in location of a trench from that indicated on the Contract Drawings due to the presence of an obstruction, or from other cause

- and such change is made before the excavation is begun- the Contractor shall not be entitled to extra compensation or to a claim for damages. Work will be paid per the unit prices established in the Contract.

2. If a change in trench location made at the request of the Engineer involves the abandonment of excavation already made, such abandoned excavation, together with the necessary backfill will be classified as Additional Unclassified Excavation and Additional Aggregate Backfill (or if unit costs for these are not established within the Bid Item Tabulation, compensation shall be negotiated with the

Contractor).

3. The Contractor shall have no claim for additional compensation as a result of changes in trench depths other than the unit price bid for trenches of the revised depth. However, if the change results in abandonment of excavation already made, such abandoned excavation together with the necessary backfill will be classified as Additional Unclassified Excavation and Additional Aggregate Backfill.

4. If a changed location of a trench is authorized by the Engineer upon the

Contractor's request, the Contractor shall not be entitled to extra compensation or to a claim. If such change of trench location involves the abandonment of excavation already made, the abandoned excavation and backfill shall be at the

Contractor's expense.

M. Advance Trenching: Where existing Utilities or other suspected underground obstructions as indicated on the Contract Drawings are within close proximity of proposed pipelines, the Contractor shall uncover and verify the exact location of

Utilities and other underground obstructions far enough in advance of pipe laying to allow any changes in pipe alignment or grade required to bypass the obstructions to avoid removing sections of pipe already installed. If any sections of installed pipe must be removed and reinstalled as a result of not verifying Utilities or other underground obstructions far enough in advance, the Contractor shall remove and reinstall the pipe at no additional cost to Owner.
