The City of Tallahassee Underground Utilities Environmental Policy Statement and a Contractor's informational brochure are available at http://www.talgov.com/you/documents.aspx

Phased Projects

In a phased project, each phase must be capable of stand-alone operation for utility service. All utility items must meet requirements as if the phase was the only project (no items will be left to complete with a later phase).

Preconstruction Activities

1. Prior to scheduling the preconstruction meeting, designate and secure all federal, state, and local permits for areas that will be used for staging and storage of construction equipment and materials. A copy of these permits must be provided to the City's utility inspector, and Leon County Development Support and Environmental Management (DSEM) at, or prior to, the preconstruction meeting.

2. Preconstruction meetings will not be scheduled until the City's and County's inspector has been in receipt of the final approved Plans and AutoCAD design drawings for at least five working days.

3. A preconstruction meeting is required, prior to development activities commencing, with the City utility inspector, County DSEM inspector, contractor, site supervisor and contractor's certified arborist to discuss sediment and erosion control and the arborist mitigation plan.

4. Obtain subsurface exploration for the work to be performed. Any geotechnical or other subsurface (i.e. groundwater, pavement profile, existing utility, etc.) information provided in the Construction Documents is supplied as a courtesy to the Contractor and shall not be construed as being representative conditions for the project.

5. Prior to establishing temporary water utilities required for construction, said water utilities must pass bacteriological tests before making connections.

6. Any changes or any other deviations from the approved drawings due to field conditions must be approved by the City, County and the governing authority having jurisdiction prior to being constructed.

Construction Stakeout

1. Set all survey grade stakes, lines, and levels for the construction of the sewer collection system in accordance with the design and survey information provided on the Plans.

2. Preserve all property corners and monuments shown on the drawings or found during construction. If a property corner or monument is destroyed or disturbed, the Contractor will have it replaced and certified by a Professional Surveyor and Mapper registered in the State of Florida. All costs for preserving, replacing and certifying property corners and monuments will be incidental to other pay items.

3. Any national geodetic survey monument within the limits of construction must be protected. If in danger of damage, immediately notify the City/County and:

FDEP, Bureau of Survey and Mapping, MS 105 3900 Commonwealth Blvd Tallahassee, FL 32399

(850) 245-2606 (Office)

(850) 245-2645 (Fax)

(850) 294-3072 (Cell)

Sequence of Work

1. Coordinate the sequence of work and disposal of materials so as not to interfere with the operations of other contractors engaged in adjacent work in accordance with the spirit of the Contract Documents.

2. Submit a base Construction Schedule, Dewatering Plan, Wastewater Management Plan and Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) plan for review and approval by the DSEM Inspection Manager and regulating authority at least one week prior to the preconstruction conference. No work will begin prior to approval of the construction schedule.

3. The construction schedule is to describe in detail how the construction will be phased, establish start and finish dates for all significant construction activities, and identify all controlling items of work. The schedule is to be approved by the City, and will be updated on a monthly basis to reflect actual work progress. The updated schedule will be submitted to the City no later than three business days prior to each scheduled monthly progress meeting.

Dewatering

A dewatering plan is required. The dewatering plan is to detail the measures to be employed to lower the groundwater table and/or to divert surface water during excavation and construction including the installation and maintenance of all devices to be used during each phase of construction to control erosion and the transportation of eroded materials off site.

Unfiltered dewatering is not permitted. It is the Contractor's responsibility to take all necessary precautions during all dewatering operations to minimize sediment transfer, and ensure that all dewatering activities adhere to all local, state and federal regulations.

Trench Safety

Comply with all OSHA Trench Safety requirements. Sheeting and bracing shall be adequate to prevent cave-in of trench walls, subsidence of areas adjacent to the trench, damage to utilities, and sloughing of the base of the excavation due to water seepage. It is the Contractor's responsibility for the adequacy of any sheeting and bracing.

General Construction Considerations

1. If prehistoric or historic artifacts, such as pottery or ceramics, projectile points, dugout canoes, metal implements, historic building materials, or any other physical remains that could be associated with Native American, early European, or American settlements are encountered at any time within the project site area, the permitted project shall cease all activities involving subsurface disturbance in the immediate vicinity of the discovery. The applicant shall contact the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Compliance Review Section at (850) 245-6333. Project activities shall not resume without verbal and/or written authorization.

2. It is the intent to maintain access to properties at all times, unless otherwise stated. Put forth every reasonable effort to minimize disruption and disturbance of adjacent properties. Any interruption of access must be coordinated with the affected property owners/tenants.

3. The Contractor is not permitted to store vehicles, equipment or materials within the limits of public rights-of-way, unless otherwise stated.

4. Do not operate heavy equipment in close proximity to buildings or other structures such that displacement or other damage may occur to that structure.

5. When a mailbox in conflict with construction is removed, furnish and install a new mailbox in kind and maintain access to the mailbox throughout the contract period. The location and construction of mailboxes will conform to the rules and regulations of the United States Postal Service. Where an existing mailbox meets the rules and regulations and is functionally sound, the Contractor may reuse the existing mailbox in lieu of constructing a new mailbox as approved by the City. A temporary mailbox must be provided for each mailbox that is removed until a new mailbox is installed. No separate payment will be made for the removal and installation of mailboxes or for furnishing temporary mailboxes. The cost shall be incidental to other pay items.

6. No modifications, planned or unplanned, to existing utility systems will be allowed without approved plans and a City utility inspector on site to witness the modifications. Violation of this obligation may require that the Contractor replace all modified components with new components (i.e., bored manhole will be replaced with new manhole; tapped line will be replaced with 20 feet of line to either side of tap, or similar replacements). In addition to the new replacements, fines may be imposed for each violation to cover the cost of additional engineering and inspection services.

7. Maintain the driving surface throughout the construction duration to the satisfaction of the City/County Inspector. Trench subsidence or patch failures shall be remedied immediately upon notification by the City/County. All costs associated with the maintenance of the travel way (both vehicular and pedestrian) are the responsibility of the Contractor.

8. Saw-cut existing concrete and asphaltic concrete driveways and sidewalks as required for construction and replace in kind.

Paver driveways and sidewalks will be picked up and re-laid or replaced to match existing. Driveways and sidewalk routes must be repaired promptly to minimize impacts to businesses and residents, and to maintain pedestrian access throughout the project limits.

9. Pavement outside the limits of construction that is damaged by construction activities is to be saw-cut and removed to the limits, as determined by the City or jurisdictional agency, and replaced in accordance with the typical section for pavement reconstruction set forth by the jurisdictional agency.

Erosion, Sedimentation Control and Tree Protection (Arboricultural Mitigation):

1. Erosion and sedimentation controls are required prior to the commencement of development activities to avoid the release of sediments beyond the work limits. These controls should be continually monitored and evaluated for their effectiveness through all phases of construction. As construction progresses, adjustments, and or additional measures may be required by the City environmental inspector to prevent direct flow or tracking of sediments onto adjacent property, conservation areas, public streets, or drainage systems. Any sediments, gravel or mud spilled, dropped, washed, or tracked from vehicles onto adjacent property, roadways, or into storm drainage systems shall be recovered and cleaned up immediately. More stringent sediment and erosion control measures may be required, during any phase of development, at the discretion of the City of Tallahassee's/Leon County's Environmental Inspector.

2. The Contractor shall ensure that a foreman or supervisor who has been certified under Florida Stormwater, Erosion and Sedimentation Control Inspector training program is available in person or by phone at all times during the construction activities. The Contractor shall designate that person or persons at the pre-construction meeting and that person or persons must attend the pre-construction meeting.

3. Street flooding is not to be introduced as a result of the erosion control protection. Safety of the traveling public, as related to the adequacy of the driving surface as a result of standing stormwater runoff, is the responsibility of the Contractor.

4. It is the Contractor's responsibility to maintain a clean work zone to prevent the release of sediments into stormwater collection systems and to limit the tracking of materials beyond the active work limits. The Contractor is required to mechanically sweep the active construction limits a minimum of once weekly. Such sweeping shall be completed to remove sediments and like materials from the corridor. Manual sweeping is required at the end of each workday. Additional or more frequent sweeping may be required by the County Inspector.

5. Trench spoil and stockpiled backfill materials must be placed to avoid deposition within stormwater facilities. The removal of deposited materials within stormwater facilities is the requirement of the Contractor. The removal of such material shall be coordinated with the City/County Environmental Inspector by the Contractor.

6. All excavated materials that cannot be used as backfill shall be removed from the project and disposed in accordance with the jurisdictional agency’s requirements.

7. The Contractor is responsible for the protection of all trees and landscaping within the project limits, as well as trees on adjacent properties that may be damaged by construction, and will be solely liable for said damage. Any tree-related penalties, imposed by the jurisdictional agency or property owner for the trees that are shown to be protected or outside the project limits, shall be paid by the Contractor. The Contractor is required to have a Certified Arborist onsite during excavation activities within the Critical Protection Zone(CPZ) of all trees to ensure proper tree impact mitigation techniques are implemented. Tree mitigation techniques shall be in compliance with the requirements contained in the Leon County Land Development Code Section 10-4.363. Specifically, the following minimum tree impact mitigation practices are required:

a. Trenching, excavation and root pruning shall be limited to the least extent possible as directed on site by the Arborist. All root pruning shall be done immediately upon exposure of tree roots, cleanly cut with a handsaw, and covered immediately with soil or kept moistened with wet burlap or peat moss until the trench can be filled. When it is not possible to backfill the same day, the roots shall be recut with a handsaw a reasonable distance from the original cut and backfilled immediately to avoid soil or root dehydration. All encountered roots shall be treated as appropriate (as determined by the Arborist).

b. Tree mitigation should begin prior to construction activities and tree protection barriers installed immediately after to prevent further root and soil compaction resulting from vehicular traffic, equipment storage or material stockpiling. Tree protection barriers shall be installed at the furthest extent of construction within the CPZ of each tree to be protected and remain in place until all construction activity has been completed and the arborist has completed final evaluation.

c. Where excavation machinery is required to operate within the CPZ of existing trees or any appendage of the machinery comes in contact with the tree during excavation, a tree barricade shall be incorporated. The type of barricade to be constructed, when construction development occurs in close proximity to a tree, is a girdling structure of vertical boards to be placed around the trunk, so as to protect the tree bark. All tree and girdling protection barricades are to be installed prior to initiation of any construction activity and are to remain in place until all construction activities are completed.

d. Under no circumstances shall any vehicle, construction material or fill material be stored within the CPZ of existing trees.

e. If overhead tree limbs are intruding into the proposed work area and may be injured by machinery or trucking maneuvers, the Arborist shall be required to be on site for proper removal of said tree limbs.

f. These procedures may be required, all or in part, by the City/County Environmental Inspector/Certified Arborist or variations thereof and are not limited to those listed herein.

g. The Contractor shall not enter onto private property to accomplish tree protection without specific instruction by the

City/County to do so.

h. At project completion, the arborist shall provide documentation detailing the mitigation efforts performed and reconcile the actual tree debits and credits as part of the Landscape and urban forest compliance report. The report should be prepared in accordance with section 5-64 and 5-83(g)(6) and submitted to the environmental inspector seven days prior to requesting the final environmental inspection.

8. The plans, at a minimum, show all trees protected by ordinance. The actual clearing requirements may include trees/vegetation not depicted on the plans.

9. All disturbed areas, except for areas that are landscaped, paved, or otherwise designated, are to be sodded. Existing grassed areas that are disturbed will be sodded with the same grass type as existing, unless otherwise directed by the engineer.

Centipede sod will be used for all disturbed areas not currently grassed.

Maintenance of Traffic

1. Submit a Temporary Traffic Control Plan (TTC) for approval by the City and/or the agency with jurisdiction of the roadway (i.e. FDOT, Leon County Public Work Department, or the City of Tallahassee Traffic Engineering office) prior to any construction activity commencing. THE TTC SHALL RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM UNDERGROUND UTILITIES PRIOR TO

SUBMITTAL TO THE ROADWAY AUTHORITIES.

2. During street closures, provide ingress and egress to all properties within the closed street segment and provide business entrance signs to route motorists to designated parking areas. For those properties with multiple driveways, only one driveway may be closed at any one time. Access to businesses throughout construction shall be maintained at all times during business hours.

3. Existing signs that conflict with the traffic control plan shall be temporarily removed, stored, and reinstalled; or temporarily covered as directed by the City. Additionally, the Contractor is responsible for maintenance and removal of existing pavement markings required for implementation of the proposed TTC plan (e.g. parking lines, lane lines, etc.)

4. Provide temporary pavement markings during construction, as needed to re-open lanes.

5. Failure to secure approval for the TTC plan shall not be cause for a claim for additional compensation or contract time.

6. Adhere to the requirements set forth in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), current edition; the FDOT

Standard Plans (series 102 indices), current edition; and the information provided in the Contract Documents.

7. Properly implement the TTC plan and additional measures to safely manage traffic if required by the City and/or agency with jurisdiction of the roadway; or as required due to unforeseen field conditions. Prepare additional measures (plans) not covered in the plans or specifications using the guidelines set forth by the agency with jurisdiction. All TTC revisions must be approved by the City and the agency with jurisdiction.

8. No trenches will be allowed to remain open after working hours. The Contractor shall schedule their work so that restoration is completed in accordance with the pavement restoration details and associated notes by the end of each workday. Failure of the Contractor to complete pavement restoration by the end of each workday will result in the City reducing the number of work hours and shall not be cause for a claim for additional compensation or an extension of contract duration

9. All lanes shall remain open during inactive work times, unless otherwise stated in the plans. Street and lane closures shall be active during active work periods only. For all street closures and their affected side streets, Type III barricades with flashing lights shall be placed in the active street closure work zones in accordance with the MUTCD, current edition.

10. Lane widths for maintenance of traffic during a lane closure should desirably be equal to lane widths of the existing street, but not less than ten feet wide. For operations with one lane closed, confine work operations to one travel lane, leaving the opposing travel lane open to traffic. In this situation, all vehicles, equipment, workers (except flaggers) and their activities are restricted at all times to one side of the roadway.

11. Reopen all lanes to normal traffic within 12 hours during an evacuation notice of a hurricane or any other catastrophic event and they shall remain open for the duration of the evacuation or event as directed by the City.

12. Flaggers, if utilized, shall be in sight of each other or in direct communication at all times. Flaggers shall wear an FDOT approved safety vest at all times. ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 Class 2 apparel high-visibility traffic vests are required for all workers within 15 feet of the edge of travel. ANSI/ISEA Class 3 apparel is required for all nighttime activities. (This information must be clearly marked on the inside of the traffic vests).

13. Sidewalk detours or diversions shall be in accordance with the MUTCD, current edition

14. The following agencies must be notified (by the Contractor) prior to executing detours and street/lane closures:
