• Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities).

• Hytera Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Company, or Dahua Technology Company (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities).

(11) SECTION 107: FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT OF 1938, AS AMENDED:

http://iwww.dot.state.sc.us/pdf/IT_Security_Policies_09042012.pdf

(12) SECTION 107: TEMPORARY MATS, BARGES, and TRESTLES Mats, Barges, and Trestles may be used in jurisdictional Waters of the US/State (WOTUS/S), within the project area, as long as they do not result in impacts to the WOTUS/S. Mats, barges, and trestles are accepted as Best Management Practices (BMP) by federal and state regulatory agencies including but not limited to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – Charleston District, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and SC Department of Health and Environmental Control Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (SCDHEC-OCRM), and may or may not be depicted on approved permit drawings. If the contractor chooses to install these BMPs as a means of temporary access for active construction, it is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that no impacts result from either the installation or the prolonged use of the selected BMP during construction. All mats, barges, and trestles must be removed from the jurisdictional area and stored in an upland location as soon as they are no longer necessary for construction. Once the mats are entirely removed, the WOTUS/S shall be stabilized with standard temporary seeding allowing the area to revegetate permanently by natural means unless directed otherwise.

Mats (or stacked mats) shall not be placed directly into a jurisdictional stream. Barges & trestles can be used in jurisdictional streams for construction access. Mats, barges, and trestles can be used within jurisdictional wetlands for construction access purposes.

No subsurface grubbing or grading will be allowed for leveling of mats and/or barges, unless indicated on the permit. Stumps can be cut or ground flush with the surrounding grade and minimal amounts of natural hardwood mulch may be used for leveling of mats/barges for access safety purposes. The jurisdictional area cannot be graded or shaped. Fill material (i.e. aggregate, soil, slurry, asphalt millings, etc.) shall not be placed below or on top of the mats or barges. Fill material can be temporarily stored in a rock-box or within some type of containment device if actively used for construction purposes. Equipment can be used to remove the vegetation; the equipment is not required to be on mats. However, mats will be used if the area is too wet for equipment access or excessive rutting is anticipated within WOTUS/S. Mats and barges shall not be used for temporary storage of materials nor shall they block the natural flow of the jurisdictional feature.

Temporary piles must be removed when no longer in use. If the piles cannot be removed, then the contractor must cut the piles 2’ below the surface and the cut piles must be capped for safety. If the piles are in a waterway/ channel, then the piles shall be cut flush with the bottom of the channel and capped.

The exception to the above is if the use of mats or barges are identified in the Special Conditions of a permit and/or within Critical Area limits.

(13) SECTION 107: CARGO PREFERENCE ACT REQUIREMENTS:

(19) SECTION 714: SMOOTH WALL PIPE:

REFERENCE:

SCDOT Supplemental Technical Specification SC-M-714

DESCRIPTION:

When bid items for smooth wall pipe are listed in the EBS file and/or proposal, the SCDOT will allow the use of reinforced concrete pipe, spiral ribbed aluminum pipe or high density polyethylene pipe in accordance with the specifications found in SC-M-714 (latest edition), the Standard Drawings, and this Special Provision. The plans may indicate reinforced concrete pipe only and are hereby superseded by this Special Provision.

MATERIALS:

Smooth wall pipe is either Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP: 714-205-XX), Spiral Ribbed Aluminum Pipe (SRAP: 714-605-XX), or High Density Polyethylene pipe (HDPE: 714-705-XX) as described in SCDOT Supplemental Technical Specification SC-M-714 and in the SCDOT Standard Drawings. Use smooth wall pipe culvert from manufacturers listed on Qualified Product Lists 30, 68, or 69. No value engineering application is required in order to use alternate pipe.

For the following counties: Berkeley, Beaufort, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Horry, and Jasper, provide pipe joints meeting AASHTO M 315 for RCP or passing the 13 psi pressure test as indicated on the QPL for SRAP or HDPE. Take care to properly lubricate and equalize pipe gaskets as indicated in the SCDOT Standard Drawings and SC-M-714 to prevent gaskets from “rolling” during installation. For all other counties, provide pipe joints meeting AASHTO M 198, M 315, or passing the minimum 10 psi pressure test unless specific pipe joints are indicated in the plans or special provisions.

https://www.scdot.org/business/constructionletting-monthlyindex.aspx

No other pipe type will be accepted as an alternate.

CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS:

Use only pipe that conforms to the minimum and maximum fill height limitations indicated on the appropriate standard drawing. Unless indicated otherwise in the plans, determine pipe fill height based on the following formula:

Fill Height = Elevation (top of curb or max grade above pipe) – Elevation (pipe crown)

For all locations where new pipe is being attached to an existing system, use one of the following options:

1. Any existing pipe may be extended using any acceptable alternate pipe type by using a drainage structure at the interface between the different pipe types. The drainage structure* may consist of standard junction boxes, manholes, catch basins, drop inlets, or circular drainage structures detailed on SCDOT Standard Drawings. For larger diameter pipe, custom drainage structures may be required. Field cut existing pipe to remove damaged joint (if applicable) and install new drainage structure at the field cut interface.

Always fully clean existing pipe and pipe joints before installing joint sealant or gaskets and attaching new pipe.

2. For locations where existing pipe properties cannot be directly matched, use a custom designed interface* (concrete collar, proprietary mastic wrap, custom coupling band, etc.)

appropriate to interface the existing pipe to the new pipe of the same type. Submit interface drawings and design for review by the Engineer of Record and the Design Standards Engineer. Always fully clean existing pipe and pipe joints before installing joint sealant or gaskets and attaching new pipe. Replace existing pipe that has joint damage before connecting new pipe to the system.

3. Any existing pipe may be extended using new pipe with the same joint profile and wall properties of the existing pipe. Always fully clean existing pipe and pipe joints before installing joint sealant or gaskets and attaching new pipe. Verify* the following parameters before ordering new pipe:

a. For RCP to RCP, confirm wall thickness, joint profile shape, and compatibility with existing manufacturer’s pipe. Replace existing pipe that has joint damage before connecting new pipe to the system.

b. For SRAP to SRAP, replace existing pipe that has joint damage before connecting new pipe to the system.

c. For HDPE to HDPE, confirm the manufacturer of the existing pipe and the joint compatibility with the new pipe. Provide a new gasket when connecting to existing spigot end of HDPE pipe. Replace existing pipe that has joint damage before connecting new pipe to the system.

d. For CAAP to CAAP, confirm the type and size of end corrugations of the pipe.

When existing pipe has full helical corrugations, provide new connecting pipe with one end fully helical and fully helical coupling band. When end corrugation size does not match the corrugation size shown on SCDOT Standard Drawings, provide a drainage structure (described above) at the interface. Replace existing pipe that has joint damage before connecting new pipe to the system. Do not install CAAP as smooth wall pipe; however, use these requirements when plans specify installing new CAAP.

The RCE will verify that connections between existing pipe and new installed pipe have been handled with one of the options listed above. Repair or replace all existing to new joint interfaces that do not meet the requirements above at no additional cost to SCDOT.

In all installations, provide the RCE with a complete pipe table indicating the following: Plan Pay Item, Plan Pipe Description, Plan Quantity, Installed Pipe (diameter, type, class/gage), Installed Quantity, and description of interface used to join new pipe to existing pipe for each occurrence.

In cases where 2 or more different pipe types are installed, provide a copy of the proposed installation layout on the drainage/plan sheets to the RCE indicating which pipe is installed at each location.

MEASUREMENT:

Measure smooth wall pipe in accordance with methods specified in SC-M-714 for the pipe material installed.

*No measurement will be made for drainage structure, designed interface, or field verification performed at each interface between existing pipe and new pipe unless drainage structure/interface is specified in the plans.

PAYMENT:

Payment will be made for smooth wall pipe regardless of the type of material installed. Payment for smooth wall pipe is as specified in SC-M-714 for the pipe material installed.

*Include all costs for work related to connecting new pipe to existing pipe in the unit bid price of the new pipe. This connection work includes: drainage structure at the interface, custom designed interface, field verification of existing pipe and compatibility with new pipe, new gaskets, new joint sealant, new coupling bands, removal, and disposal of damaged sections of existing pipe.
