No rocks or stones larger than 3 inches in diameter shall 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.

2.2.3.11.1 Composition.

The ducts shall be corrosion resistant and 4-inch inside diameter (I.D.) round or metric equivalent. The ducts shall be made of EPC-40 Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) (Schedule 40) IAW NEMA TC-2.

Ducts installed beneath roads and parking areas shall be protected IAW Para. 2.2.3.11.10. 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. This substitution is acceptable. However, do not terminate the HDPE directly in a MH/HH but instead install 4-inch I.D. PVC stub out(s), a minimum of 5-10 feet out of the manhole and

38 ES 2/10/2023 Page 11 of 62 couple the HDPE to the PVC. Also, if HDPE is used, it shall be SIDR 11.5 so that the inside diameter of the HDPE will match the inside diameter of the PVC. All ducts not installed across roads, sidewalks, parking areas, or areas to be paved, etc. shall 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 shall be accomplished IAW BICSI “Outside Plant Design Reference Manual” (OSPDRM) and RUS Bulletin 1751F-643.

All bends between MHs/HHs shall 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 7 CS/SCXP if runs have bent that total more than 90 degrees is required. Ducts shall 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 shall 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 shall be pulled through two diagonally opposite ducts to ensure proper alignment.

In addition, all ducts shall be cleared of loose materials such as concrete, mud, dirt, stones, etc.

2.2.3.11.4 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.

2.2.3.11.5 Spacers and Tracer Wire.

Along the length of the duct run, if the ducts are installed by trenching, spacers shall be placed at five (5) foot intervals. At least one duct or roll pipe shall 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 shall be exposed; free from the conduit and capped (insulated). The tracer shall 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 shall not be connected to any grounding system. Tracer wire shall be pulled back from building entrances until it is underground to prevent lightning damage.

2.2.3.11.6 Warning Tape.

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

2.2.3.11.7 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 shall 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 shall

38 ES 2/10/2023 Page 12 of 62 have bell ends and enter the maintenance hole perpendicular to the surface of the wall through which it is entering and shall be installed flush with the interior wall of the maintenance hole. Ducts and openings around ducts shall be sealed to prevent moisture from entering the maintenance holes.

2.2.3.11.8 Pull Boxes/NEMA 4 Enclosures. “Reserved”.

2.2.3.11.9 Excavation/Building Penetrations.

Type of protection may be dependent upon the specific application and shall be IAW applicable federal, state or local (Dyess AFB Civil Engineering construction requirements) procedures. However, at a minimum, nonmetallic conduits shall be encased in concrete of minimum 3000 lb. /in2 compressive strength where vehicular traffic is above the pathway. The encasement shall be concrete of a wet type of mix and shall 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).

The pull tape shall extend into the maintenance holes/handholes and be secured to a cable rack or pulling iron, etc.

2.2.4 New Outside Plant Installation.

This section describes the underground maintenance hole/conduit system, flexible geotextile multiple cell fabric inner-duct and copper and fiber optic cable installation requirements. The Contractor shall design and install Customer-Owned “Outside Plant Telecommunications Infrastructure” in according with TIA-758-B. Each cable installation shall be coordinated with the 7 CS/SCXP so that the impact on the building users is properly coordinated. The sequence of installation is at the Contractor’s discretion.
