Page | 7 will have minimum interior dimensions of 6 feet W x 6 feet L x 7 feet H (Width, Length, and Height).

MHs will be furnished with a ladder, cable racks hardware, pulling irons, a sump, water resistance gaskets, bonding ribbon and a grounding system. MH will meet the requirements of TIA-758-B.

Prefabricated MHs are preferred. The MHs will have predrilled duct entry holes. New hand holes will have minimum interior dimensions of 4’ X 4’ X 4’, meet the requirements of TIA-758. Sump (with removable perforated cover), pulling-in irons, ¾” x 10’ground rod, telecommunications industry standard cable racks and hooks, and bonding ribbon attachments will be provided in all new hand holes. Round hand hole covers will be cast with 1/8” raised letters stating “COMMUNICATIONS” displayed on the outside. Coordination with 81 CS/SCXP will be required to identify local Grounding procedures; predrilled duct entry holes [sealed with knockouts configured for splayed entry in the end walls] with duct terminators to accept 4-inch I.D. schedule 40 conduit. It is understood that some MHs/HHs are precast with bonding ribbons or some similar connection, to the manhole rebar and therefore do not require a ground rod. This method of grounding in lieu of a ground rod is satisfactory just as long as the achieved impedance to ground is twenty five (25) ohms or less. MHs/HHs will be of concrete construction and meet the requirements of TIA -758B, paragraphs 5.2.1 and/or

5.2.2. Polymer concrete (i.e., Quazite) construction is NOT authorized.

Prefabricated MHs/HHs are preferred. MH/HH will be installed so that they are reasonably level on a gravel bed of 6 inches to allow drainage of water from the walls. The gravel bed should extend 8 inches to 12 inches beyond the outer edges of the MH/HH. MH/HH covers will be labeled with 1/8” raised letters stating “COMMUNICATIONS”.

2.2.1.9 Cable Racks and Cable Rack Supports.

Cable racks will be installed in maintenance holes and hand holes as required - this includes new and existing MHs/HHs. Splices will not be supported by the cables that enter each end of the splice case.

The splices will be supported by cable hooks under the splice case. Telecommunications industry standard cable hooks of the appropriate length will be provided to support cables and splice cases. The cable hooks will be secured using cable rack locking clips. All cables will be supported using racking clips, cable racks, and cable hooks.

2.2.1.10 Grounding.

necessary to properly bond/ground the cable in MHs will be provided by the Contractor. Reference

ANSI/TIA 607.

2.2.1.11 Underground Conduit System.

The Contractor shall be responsible for any required trenching and/or boring necessary to lay the duct system. Contractor is also responsible for backfilling ditch lines and compaction of fill materials with appropriate compaction tools. Provide a minimum of 12" cover of clean fill above the conduit.

Backfill material will be clean and free from all organic material, clay, marl or unstable materials, debris, lumps, or broken paving. No rocks or stones larger than 3 inches in diameter will be allowed in backfill. Material for backfill may be material resulting from excavation if it meets the above requirements. Directional drilling will be used for major road crossings. Otherwise, crossing of paved surfaces may be performed by pavement cuts and resurfacing with appropriate matching road material.

This does not prevent the Contractor from using directional drilling if it is more cost effective. Ducts will be appropriately protected when placed under paved surfaces.

2.2.1.11.1 Install new micro-duct.

a. The new micro-duct will be comparable with Dura Line Future path 18mm OD/14mm ID system and be suitable for direct buried applications.

b. Each micro-duct tube not used for this project will be capped.

c. Wherever possible, the micro-duct will enter and exit a maintenance hole via corresponding entrances (straight through) to keep it parallel and avoid unnecessary twists.

d. The Contractor shall install micro-duct, so any bends or loops are smooth sweeps following the manufacturers bending radius guidelines and any kinks and sharp bends are avoided.

e. The Contractor shall securely attach or mount newly installed micro-duct inside the maintenance hole on existing or new racking as per applicable technical order guidance, with sufficient slack to reach the opposite end of the maintenance hole.

f. The Contractor shall strip back micro-duct outer sheath cleanly, avoiding any nicks or cuts in micro-ducts, use heat shrink or similar protection as per manufacturers recommendation on butt of sheath for protection. Overlap both sheath and micro-ducts evenly (i.e., centered over butt end).

g. Newly installed micro-duct will be free from holes, blisters, cracks or any other imperfections which would affect the performance or serviceability.

2.2.1.11.2 Installation.

Installation of underground conduits/ducts will be IAW RUS Bulletin 1751F-643 and RUS Bulletin 1753F-151. Ducts installed beneath roads, sidewalks, parking areas, other paved surfaces or areas to be paved, etc. will be installed a minimum of 36" below grade. Ducts installed beneath roads and parking areas will be protected. It is understood that in some locations, especially at paved surface crossings, the Contractor may bore and substitute 4-inch I.D. HDPE conduit (Roll pipe, suitable for the application) for 4-inch PVC conduit. Also, if HDPE is used, it will be SIDR 11.5 so that the inside diameter of the HDPE will match the inside diameter of the PVC. HDPE will not be placed directly into a MH. The Contractor shall transition to PVC from HDPE prior to terminating conduit into these structures. In maintenance holes (MH) with knockouts, conduits will start at the bottom knockout, allowing for upward future expansion.

All ducts not installed across roads, sidewalks, parking areas, or areas to be paved, etc. will have a minimum of 36 inches ground cover, where possible. The Contractor shall provide other protective measures, concrete cap, etc., in those areas where the minimum ground cover cannot be achieved.

Grading of ducts and drain slope of ducts will be accomplished IAW BICSI Outside Plant Design Reference Manual (OSPDRM) and RUS Bulletin 1751F-643. Do not allow the ducts to twist or tangle between Maintenance holes.

2.2.1.11.3 Paved Surface Crossings.

The Contractor shall cut and restore, and/or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) in order to cross paved surfaces. Paved surfaces may be asphalt, concrete, brick, or some type of paving stone. Paved surfaces include roads, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots. Paved surface crossings will be IAW guidelines set forth by NAS Pensacola Public Works. At a minimum, grade of PVC conduit at open trench paved surface crossings, or crossings which are planned for paving in the future, will be Schedule 40 and will be concrete encased. If horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is used, then it will be in compliance with commonly accepted telecommunications industry standards and practices relative to the installation, stabilization, and protection of conduits through a bore under a paved surface. The decision whether to trench (cut and patch) across or horizontal directionally drill under paved surfaces is at the discretion of the BCE and will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Page | 9

2.2.1.11.4 Bends and Sealing.

All bends between MHs/HHs will be a minimum of ten times (10X) the diameter of the duct size (i.e., 4 inch duct = 40 inches) with the sum of bends in all directions not exceeding a total of 90 degrees where practical. Coordinate with 81 CS/SCX if runs have bent that total more than 90 degrees is required. Ducts will have bell ends and enter a MH/HH perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering. All ducts/inner ducts entering MH/HH will be sealed. Universal duct plugs or removable putty sealants may be used. Upon completion of conduit sections, a rigid test mandrel ¼” (6.4mm) smaller than the inside diameter of the conduit will be pulled through two diagonally opposite ducts to ensure proper alignment. In addition, all ducts will be cleared of loose materials such as concrete, mud, dirt, stones, etc.

2.2.1.11.5 Utility Separation.

When communications ducts cross either power duct or buried power cable, maintain a minimum separation of 3 inches of concrete or 12 inches of well-tamped earth between the two or 12 inches of well tamped earth when parallel; for pipes (e.g., gas, water, oil) maintain 6 inches when crossing or 12 inches when parallel.

2.2.1.11.6 Spacers and Tracer Wire.

Along the length of the duct run, if the ducts are installed by trenching, spacers will be placed at five

(5) foot intervals. At least one duct or roll pipe will have tracer wire or be otherwise locatable from the surface. All new tracer wire installed for this project needs to have a wire nut and label installed at all wire ends, and those wire ends secured but not connected to grounds. The tracer wire will be exposed;

free from the conduit and capped (insulated). The tracer will be secured and routed to the maintenance hole or hand-hole neck to a point where maintenance personnel may access the wire without having to enter the maintenance hole/hand-hole and tagged with a label so indicating it as a “Duct Tracer Wire to xxx – Do Not Remove (where xxx is the other end of the wire).” Tracer wires will not be connected to any grounding system. Tracer wire will be pulled back from building entrances until it is underground to prevent lightning damage.

2.2.1.11.7 Warning Tape.

Cable warning tape will be buried one (1) foot below the surface and will follow the duct route. The tape will be a minimum of three inches wide and orange in color with the appropriate warning message.

2.2.1.11.8 Entrance Conduits into Existing Maintenance Holes.

When new entrance conduits/ducts or sleeves are required, the Contractor shall bore and install the necessary holes and install the ducts or sleeves, if knockout doesn’t exist. Penetration will not be in such a location through the wall as to block use of existing ducts in the maintenance hole. New ducts will be a minimum of 18 inches from either the floor or ceiling of the maintenance hole if practical. Ducts will have bell ends and enter the maintenance hole perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering and will be installed flush with the interior wall of the maintenance hole. Ducts and openings around ducts will be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the maintenance holes.

2.2.1.11.9 Conduit Protection.

The Contactor shall install the appropriate physical protection required [(concrete encasement, steel tube (casing)] for buried PVC conduits or HDPE Roll pipe, consistent with commonly accepted telecommunications industry practices relative to the task and to the environment in which they are installed and the loads (H-5, H-10, H-20, railroads, flight line, etc.) to which they are expected to be

Page | 10 exposed. Type of protection may be dependent upon the specific application and will be IAW applicable federal, state or local (Pensacola NAS Civil Engineering construction requirements) procedures. However, at a minimum, nonmetallic conduits will be encased in concrete of minimum 3000 lb. /in2 compressive strength where vehicular traffic is above the pathway. The encasement will be concrete of a wet type mix and will be placed in such a manner as to ensure the concrete completely surrounds all conduits and no air voids are trapped in the mix a bend or sweep is placed in PVC nonmetallic duct bank between maintenance holes, the duct bank must be encased in concrete with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 pounds per square inch (psi).

2.2.1.11.10 Pull Tape. N/A

All newly installed ducts left vacant will be provided with a pull tape with a waterproof, corrosion resistant, pre-lubricated flat woven polyester pull tape with sequential footage markings, (1250 lb.
