5. For aggregates weighed for payment, the tonnage shall not be adjusted for moisture 30 content, unless otherwise provided for. 31

6. For standard manufactured items (such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe 32 conduits) identified by gauge, weight, section dimensions, and so forth, such 33 identifications shall be considered the nominal weights or dimensions. Unless 34 controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturer's tolerances shall be 35 accepted. 36

B. Earthwork Tolerances - Adjustments of horizontal or vertical alignment, within the 37 tolerances specified in this contract, or shifts of balance points up to 100 feet shall be 38 made by the contractor as necessary to produce the designed sections and to balance 39 earthwork. Such adjustments shall not be considered as "Changes." 40

1.3 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT 41

E. Drains, valves, and other regulating and controlling devices shall be installed in the line where called for on the drawings.

F. The interior of all pipe, fittings, and other accessories shall be kept as free as possible from dirt and foreign matter at all times. Each piece of line as it is laid shall be cleaned of all debris. When the pipeline has become dirty on the inside during shipment or storage, it shall be swabbed out by drawing a damp swab through the line before placing in trench. Care shall be exercised to keep all joining surfaces clean. Any pipe with contaminated or damaged joining surfaces, which cannot be satisfactorily cleaned or repaired, shall be discarded. Under no circumstances shall pipe be installed in water, and no pipe shall be installed when trench conditions or the weather is unsuitable for such work. At all times when work is not in progress, all open ends of the pipe and fittings shall be securely closed to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer so that no trench water, rodents, earth, or other substance will enter the pipe or fittings.

G. Any section of pipe already installed and found to be defective shall be removed and replaced with new pipe at the Contractor’s expense.

H. Water and Non-Potable/Sewer Line Crossings

1. Potable and NPWL lines shall never be installed in the same trench.

2. If a new line crosses below an existing line, the existing line shall be supported to prevent settling.

3. Where waterlines intersect NPWLs or are within 10 horizontal feet of NPWLs, the following applies:

a. At least one of the pipes (either the waterline or NPWL) shall be constructed or reconstructed with 200 psi pipe or encased in a continuous sleeve with same rating. At crossing, extend 200 psi pipe or sleeve for a distance of 10 feet perpendicular distance from each side of the waterline. The waterline and NPWL pipes or sleeves shall be centered at the crossing so that the joints will be an equal distance and as far as possible from the crossing.

1) Sleeves: Nominal sleeve diameter to be at least 3 inches larger than nominal diameter of pipe to be encased. Install end seals in annular space at each end of sleeves.

2) In lieu of constructing or reconstructing the NPWL with pipe conforming to waterline requirements, the NPWL may be encased in concrete at least 6 inches thick around the pipe measured at the bell, for 10 feet each side of the waterline.

b. Construct according to applicable federal, state and local regulations, including Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, “Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems, IDAPA 58.01.08. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining and following these regulations.

3. Pipes shall be placed true to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings and as specified. Complete water system shall be constructed to drain by gravity to drains for seasonal shutdown. Waterlines shall be constructed to drain at a minimum grade of 1%. Waterlines not meeting this requirement shall be removed by the Contactor and replaced at no cost to the Government.

4. Each section of the pipe shall rest upon the pipe bed for the full length of its barrel.

5. Backfill the pipe within 24 hours after installing the pipe in the trench, leaving the joints and one foot of pipe on each side of each joint exposed until testing is complete.

6. When work is not in progress, securely close open ends of pipe and fittings.

7. When high density polyethylene or solvent weld joint pipe is used, it shall be weaved in the trench to provide horizontal slack in the line for expansion and contraction.

8. High density polyethylene pipe shall be allowed to cool to within 20ºF of the shaded trench bottom temperature before backfilling.

9. When pipes are installed in a structure or utility box, they shall be adequately supported.

10. Use proper fittings in order to follow the required line and grades and to avoid excessive curvature. Deflections from a straight line or grade, as required by vertical curves, horizontal curves, or offsets, shall not exceed the manufacturer's recommended maximum joint deflection or curvature for their pipe.

11. When more than one pipeline is in the same trench, the pipes shall be separated by at least eight horizontal inches, or as shown on the Drawings.

12. Bends that result in joint tension or permanent pipe deformation are prohibited.

13. Pipelines may be relocated slightly, if necessary, to avoid existing obstacles.

However, the required slopes must be maintained.

N. Branch Connections

e. Branch connections to the main shall be made with polyethylene fittings, and butt fused.

f. Bent Strap Test: On each day that butt fusions are to be made, perform a “Bent Strap Test.” The first fusion of the day shall be a trial fusion.

The test strap shall be 12" (min) or 30 times the wall thickness in length with the fusion in the center, and 1" (min) or 1.5 times the wall thickness in width. Bend the test strap until the ends of the strap touch. If the fusion fails at the joint, a new trial fusion shall be made, cooled completely and tested. Butt fusion of pipe to be installed shall not commence until a trial fusion has passed the bent strap test.
