About this file
This is Amendment 0003 to NAVFAC specification 7359365 for replacing an existing culvert under Air Base Road at Atlantic OLF, MCAS Cherry Point, NC. The amendment modifies Section 33 40 00 Stormwater Utilities specifications in response to a contractor RFI regarding pipe joint testing requirements.
The amendment removes the requirement for hydrostatic tests on watertight joints, as the specified banded gasket joint would not meet the original 10-psi testing requirement. The proposal due date remains December 17, 2024 at 1:00 PM local time, and no further RFIs will be accepted as the RFI submission deadline has passed. The revised specifications include detailed requirements for pipe materials, installation, bedding, backfill, field quality control, and inspection requirements for the corrugated aluminum culvert pipe installation. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of this amendment with their proposal submission or risk rejection.

Provide a compacted earth cushion between unremoved rock and the pipe with a thickness of at least 8 inches or 1/2 inch for each foot of fill over the top of the pipe, whichever is greater, but not more than three-fourths the nominal diameter of the pipe. Maintain the cushion under the bell as well as under the straight portion of the pipe where bell-and-spigot pipe is used. Provide a
REV 01 SECTION 33 40 00 Page 3 12/05/24 compacted earth cushion between unremoved rock and the box culvert of at least 8 inches in thickness for concrete box culverts. Excavate rock as specified and defined in Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK.
3.1.3 Removal of Unstable Material
Where wet or otherwise unstable soil incapable of properly supporting the pipe or box culvert, as determined by the Contracting Officer, is unexpectedly encountered in the bottom of a trench, remove such material to the depth required and replace with select granular material to the proper grade. Compact select granular material as specified in paragraph FINAL BACKFILL. When removal of unstable material is due to the fault or neglect of the Contractor while performing shoring and sheeting, water removal, or other specified requirements, perform such removal and replacement at no additional cost to the Government.
3.2 BEDDING AND INITIAL BACKFILL
Provide a firm bedding foundation of uniform density throughout the entire length of the pipe or box culvert.
3.2.1 Corrugated Aluminum Pipe
Provide bedding and structural backfill for corrugated steel and aluminum pipe and pipe arch in accordance with ASTM A798/A798M and as indicated on the project plans. It is not required to shape the bedding to the pipe geometry.
3.3 PLACING PIPE
Submit printed copies of the pipe or box culvert manufacturer's recommended pipe or box culvert installation procedures prior to installation. Thoroughly examine each section of pipe or box culvert before being laid; do not use defective or damaged pipe. Protect plastic pipe, excluding SRPE pipe, from exposure to direct sunlight prior to laying, if necessary to maintain adequate pipe stiffness and meet installation deflection requirements. Lay pipelines to the grades and alignment indicated. Provide proper facilities for lowering sections of pipe into trenches. Place lifting lugs in vertically elongated corrugated steel or aluminum pipe in the same vertical plane as the major axis of the pipe. Do not lay pipe in water or when trench conditions or weather are unsuitable for such work. Divert drainage or dewater trenches during construction as necessary. Deflection of installed flexible pipe must not exceed the following limits:
TYPE OF PIPE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE
DEFLECTION (percent)
Corrugated Steel and Aluminum 5
3.3.1 Multiple Culverts
Where multiple lines of pipe are installed, adjacent sides of pipe must be at least half the nominal pipe diameter or 3 feet apart, whichever is less.
REV 01 SECTION 33 40 00 Page 4 12/05/24
3.4 JOINTING
3.4.1 Concrete and Clay Pipe
3.4.2 Corrugated Steel and Aluminum Pipe
3.4.2.1 Field Joints
Provide transverse field joints designed so that the successive connection of pipe sections will form a continuous line free of appreciable irregularities in the flow line. Keep the space between the pipe and connecting bands free from dirt and grit so that corrugations fit snugly.
While being tightened, tap the connecting band with a soft-head mallet of wood, rubber or plastic, to take up slack and ensure a tight joint.
Provide field joints for each type of corrugated metal pipe that maintain pipe alignment during construction and prevent infiltration of fill material during the life of the installations. Provide bands and angles or lugs and bolts as specified in the applicable standards or specifications for the pipe.
3.4.2.2 Flexible Watertight, Gasketed Joints
Use lubricants or cements and other special installation requirements as recommended by the gasket manufacturer. Where sleeve type gaskets are used, place the gasket over one end of a section of pipe for half the width of the gasket. Then double over the other half over the end of the same pipe. When the adjoining section of pipe is in place, roll the doubled-over half of the gasket over the adjoining section. Correct any unevenness in overlap so that the gasket covers the end of pipe sections equally. Center connecting bands over adjoining sections of pipe, and place rods or bolts in position and tighten nuts. Band Tightening:
Tighten the band evenly, keep even tension on the rods or bolts, and the gasket; properly seat the gasket in the corrugations. Keep watertight joints uncovered for a period of time designated by the Contracting Officer. Before covering joints, measure the tightness of the nuts with a torque wrench. If the nut has tended to loosen its grip on the bolts or rods, retighten the nut with a torque wrench and keep uncovered until a tight, permanent joint is assured.
3.5 DRAINAGE STRUCTURES
3.5.1 Headwalls
Construct headwalls as indicated.
3.6 INSTALLATION OF TRACER WIRE AND WARNING TAPE
Install warning tape above all storm drain pipe in accordance with Section
31 00 00 EARTHWORK.
3.7 FINAL BACKFILL
Backfill trenches with satisfactory material deposited in layers of a maximum of 8 inches loose thickness and compacted to 90 percent of maximum density for cohesive soils and 95 percent of maximum density for cohesionless soils in accordance with Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK. Testing is the responsibility of the Contractor and will be performed at no
REV 01 SECTION 33 40 00 Page 5 12/05/24 additional cost to the Government. Unless otherwise specified, determine field in-place density of final backfill at a frequency of one test per 50 linear feet, or fraction thereof, of each lift of backfill. Submit test results in accordance with Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK. Do not displace or damage pipe or box when compacting final backfill by rolling or operating heavy equipment parallel with the pipe or box. Movement of construction machinery over a culvert or storm drain at any stage of construction will be at the Contractor's risk. Repair or replace any damaged pipe. Protect concrete pipes with a minimum of 3 feet of cover prior to permitting heavy construction equipment to pass over them during construction.
