Any information that has been obtained by the USDA Forest Service concerning possible ground conditions is available at the Supervisor's Office for the Forest where the project is located to interested parties upon request.

C. Unsatisfactory Material - During excavation, if material which does not meet the backfill requirements of Article 2 (such as structurally unstable material, solid rock, over-sized rock, angular or sharp rock), as determined by the Contracting Officer, is encountered at the grade line for the pipe or cable, the unsatisfactory material shall be removed to a minimum depth of 6 inches below the utility line. Trenching shall be performed by any acceptable method, including the use of explosives, as permitted by the Contract General Provisions. In addition to the General Provisions, the Contractor shall provide skilled blasting operators and precautions shall be taken to avoid damage to adjacent property.

D. Trenching by Machine or by Hand - The use of trench digging machines will be permitted except in places where machines may cause damage to existing structures, utilities, or trees, in which case hand methods shall be employed. Areas specifically to be trenched by hand will be as indicated on the drawings and paid for separately.

Machines shall be of the proper size to operate within the specified working limits. In areas being excavated by machine, any hand digging necessary to locate or cross utilities will not be paid for as hand trenching.

E. Depth - Trench excavation shall provide a uniform (for all utilities) or gently changing (for all utilities except gravity flow sewer lines) flow line.

F. Width of Trenches - The bottom width that will be used in arriving at pay quantities that are paid on the basis of volume shall be the design bottom width, as shown on the Schedule of Items, or as shown on the trench cross-section detail on the drawings. The width of trench allowed when computing excavation and/or backfill quantities shall be vertical lines for trenches less than 4 feet and for trenches greater than 4 feet shall be computed on 1/2 to 1 side slopes. In circumstances where trench sides will not stand or are not considered safe when sloped at 1/2 to 1, a slope will be determined in the field by the Contracting Officer for which pay quantities will be computed, and the slopes shall be laid back to the stable slope determined.

G. The Contractor may excavate the trench narrower or wider than the design width shown on the drawings; however, the design width of the trench will be used to calculate the number of cubic yards of all excavated volume and volume of imported material that is paid for by unit volume.

H. Any over excavation (width) performed by the Contractor for his convenience shall be at his own expense.

I. Alignment and Grade - The location of all pipelines and structures will be staked out and grades established by the Contracting Officer before excavation is started. All trenches shall conform with the lines and grades illustrated on the drawings or staked on the ground. The Contractor shall set batter boards and shall establish grade lines and levels necessary for the work from dimensions and elevations shown on the drawings and as established in the field. Any shifting or change from the indicated alignment and grade must receive prior approval by the Contracting Officer in writing. Alignment and grade shall also meet the requirements of Sections governing the utilities which are being installed in the trench.

3.7 APPROVAL OF SUBGRADE

A. Notify Contracting Officer when excavations have reached required subgrade.

B. If Contracting Officer determines that unsatisfactory soil is present, continue excavation and replace with compacted backfill or fill material as directed.

C. Reconstruct subgrades damaged by freezing temperatures, frost, rain, accumulated water, or construction activities, as directed by Contracting Officer.

3.8 UNAUTHORIZED EXCAVATION

A. Fill unauthorized excavation under foundations or wall footings by extending bottom elevation of concrete foundation or footing to excavation bottom, without altering top elevation. Lean concrete fill may be used when approved by Contracting Officer.

1. Fill unauthorized excavations under other construction or utility pipe as directed by Contracting Officer.

3.9 STORAGE OF SOIL MATERIALS

A. Stockpile, borrow materials and satisfactory excavated soil materials. Stockpile soil materials without intermixing. Place, grade, and shape stockpiles to drain surface water. Cover to prevent windblown dust.

1. Stockpile soil materials away from edge of excavations. Do not store within drip line of remaining trees.

B. Topsoil shall be kept separate from trench-excavated material by either stockpiling or by windrowing on the opposite side of the trench from which the trench excavated material will be placed. Topsoil will be reused after backfilling on those areas from which it came.

3.10 UTILITY TRENCH BACKFILL

A. Backfilling will be permitted only after all inspections of piping and/or cable have been performed and tests completed and the work to be covered has been approved by the Contracting Officer. Backfill which has been improperly placed and/or compacted shall be corrected, if directed by the Contracting Officer, by reopening the trench to the depth required to obtain proper compaction. Then the trench shall be refilled and compacted according to specifications.

B. Place backfill on subgrades free of mud, frost, snow, or ice.

C. Backfill at Electrical Bedding Material

1. Any backfill in trench bottom where over excavation was performed by the Contractor for his convenience, shall be brought back to the pipe grade indicated at his own expense. If the trench bottom is prepared in wet conditions, special bedding conforming to Article 2 shall be used if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

2. The bottom of trenches shall be accurately graded to provide uniform bearing and support for each section of the pipe along its entire length, except for portions of the pipe sections where it is necessary to excavate for pipe joints. Depressions for joints shall be made in accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturers for the particular joint used. The bedding shall be a minimum of 4 inches in depth under the pipe and be of either special bedding or pipe zone material as conditions dictate. Trench bottom preparation shall be such that when final placement of pipe has been made, pipe will be true to line and grade. All adjustment to line and grade shall be made by scraping away or filling in with pipe zone material or special bedding material, as conditions dictate, under the body of the pipe and not by wedging or blocking.

3. After pipe is placed as called for in applicable Sections governing the utilities being placed in the trench, pipe zone material shall be deposited in the trench uniformly on both sides of the pipe for the full width of the trench in 6-inch horizontal layers (loose measurement) and compacted from the bottom of the trench to a depth of 1 foot over the top of the pipe.

4. An exception to this is on water lines and sewer lines where the Contractor elects to hydrostatically pressure test the pipe. Joints, couplings, fittings, and valves shall then be left uncovered until after the pipe has been tested. After testing proves the pipe installation to be satisfactory, pipe zone material shall then be placed carefully and compacted around the joints, couplings, fittings, and valves to a depth of 1 foot above the pipe, after which the remainder of the trench shall be backfilled. On gravity flow sewer lines, the Contractor may elect to pressure test the pipe with air. In this case, the entire trench is to be properly backfilled prior to the acceptance test.

5. Where electrical conduit is buried in the same trench as the waterline or sewer line, the backfill procedure for the conduit shall be performed as outlined in the preceding paragraphs. Location with respect to other utilities in a trench shall be as indicated on the trench cross-section detail as shown on the drawings.

6. When an electrical conduit is buried singly in a trench, or if only conduit is buried in a trench, the bedding shall be a minimum of 2 inches in depth under the conduit. After the conduit is placed, pipe zone material shall be deposited in the trench uniformly for the full width of the trench and compacted from the bottom of the trench to a depth of 4 inches over the top of the conduit.

7. Compaction and Testing: All compaction within the pipe zone (electrical conduit area is considered as pipe zone), shall meet the following: Material shall be compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum dry unit weight, as determined by AASHTO T 99, Method D, or ASTM D 698, Method D. Ascertain adequate compaction during the backfill operation by performing in-place density tests in accordance with one or more of the following standard test procedures:

ASTM D 1556, D 2167, or D 2922, or AASHTO T 191, or T 205.

D. Select Material

1. When shown on the drawings as being required, marking tape shall be installed eight inches below the ground surface and shall run the full length of the trenches.

2. Backfill in trenches in areas other than under roadways and parking areas shall be placed in horizontal layers 12inches thick or less (loose measurement). Layers shall be compacted before the succeeding lift is placed with at least three passes of an approved mechanical compaction device.

3. Compaction and Testing: Backfill in trenches under roadways and parking areas shall be maintained, wetted, or dried to optimum moisture for maximum compaction, placed in the trench in horizontal layers not to exceed 6 inches in thickness (loose measurement), and compacted to not less than 95 percent of maximum dry unit weight, as determined by AASHTO T 99, Method D, of ASTM D 698, Method D. Ascertain adequate compaction during the backfill operation by performing in-place density tests in accordance with one or more of the following standard test procedures: ASTM D 1556, D 2167, or D 2922, or AASHTO T 191, or T 205.

E. Special Bedding – Imported

1. Special bedding shall be placed, as directed by the Contracting Officer, in trenches, as necessary, to provide a minimum of 4 inches firm bedding on which to set the pipe in areas where relatively unstable conditions exist, due to seeping ground water or mud caused by ground water, or by water from any other source which cannot be diverted. After the material is placed in the trench, leveled, and consolidated, it shall be trimmed to proper sub grade and shaped to receive the pipe.

2. The Contractor shall construct restrictive sections (dams) in the special bedding material at least every 200 feet to minimize the possibility of excessive ground water flows undercutting the pipe. The dam shall extend across the entire width of the trench, be a minimum of 3 feet long, and shall extend to the top of the pipe zone material.

F. Surface Restoration in Areas Other Than Roads

1. All surfaces shall be restored to the required grade (usually original ground line), mounded over or smoothed off as directed, and left in a uniform and neat condition, to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. Surface drainage shall be diverted so that it will not flow along a trench. In areas where natural revegetation is designated (no planting to be done), the Contractor shall scarify all disturbed or compacted areas and right-of-ways such that the surface of the ground is loose to a depth of at least one inch. In areas to be seeded, the area shall be prepared in accordance with Section 329206 “Seeding.”

G. Warning Tape and Tracer Wire:

1. Warning Tape: Install directly above utilities, as shown on the Drawings.

2. Tracer Wire: Wrap all buried, non-metallic, nonperforated piping with tracer wire.

a. Conductivity Testing: Conductivity to be tested before and maintained while backfilling trench. After backfilling, the contractor shall perform a continuity test to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

b. Access: Attach tracer wire to object or structure where possible. Fold or wrap remaining wire so it is accessible to owner, but not generally visible to the public.
