It is anticipated that migratory birds, a protected group of species, may try to nest on bridges, culverts, vegetation, or gravel substrate, at any time of the year. The preferred nesting season for migratory birds is

CCSJ: 0081-02-079 Sheet: 6 from February 15 through October 1. When practicable, schedule construction operations outside of the preferred nesting season. Otherwise, avoid nests containing migratory birds and perform no work in the nesting areas until the young birds have fledged.

Structures Do not begin bridge and culvert construction operations until swallow nesting prevention is implemented, until after October 1 if it’s determined that swallow nesting is actively occurring, or until it’s determined swallow nests have been abandoned.

If the State installed nesting deterrent on the bridges and culverts, maintain the existing nesting deterrent to prevent swallow nesting until October 1 or completion of the bridge and culvert work, whichever occurs earlier. If new nests are built and occupied after the beginning of the work, do not perform work that can interfere with or discourage swallows from returning to their nests. Prevention of swallow nesting can be performed by one of the following methods:

1. By February 15 begin the removal of any existing mud nests and all other mud placed by swallows for the construction of nests on any portion of the bridge and culverts. The Engineer will inspect the bridges and culverts for nest building activity. If swallows begin nest building, scrape or wash down all nest sites.

Perform these activities daily unless the Engineer determines the need to do this work more frequently.

Remove nests and mud through October 1 or until bridge and culvert construction operations are completed.

2. By February 15 place a nesting deterrent (which prevents access to the bridge and culvert by swallows) on the entire bridge (except deck and railing) and culverts.

No extension of time or compensation payment will be granted for a delay or suspension of work caused by nesting swallows. This work is subsidiary to the various bid items.

Item 502. Barricades, Signs, and Traffic Handling

The contractor force account ‘safety contingency’ that has been established for this project is intended to be utilized for work zone enhancements to improve the effectiveness of the traffic control plan that could typically not be foreseen in the project planning and design stage. These enhancements will be mutually agreed upon by the Engineer and the Contractor’s responsible person based on weekly or more frequent traffic management reviews on the project. The Engineer may choose to use existing bid items if it does not slow the implementation of enhancement.

Maintenance of roadways, not paid as Item 508, "Constructing Detours," and designated in the traffic control plan to carry traffic, will be the responsibility of the Contractor and will be paid for by "Contractor Force Account or Agreed Unit Price".

Permanent signs may be installed when construction in an area is complete and they will not conflict with the traffic control plan for the remainder of the job.

CCSJ: 0081-02-079 Sheet: 9

Existing signs are to remain as long as they do not interfere with construction and they do not conflict with the traffic control plan.

Any sign not detailed in the plans but called for in the layout will be as shown in the current "Standard Highway Sign Designs for Texas”.

When traffic is obstructed, arrange warning devices in accordance with the latest edition of the "Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices".

Cover or remove any work zone signs when work or condition referenced is not occurring.

Do not place barricades, signs, or any other traffic control devices where they interfere with sight distance at driveways or side streets. Provide access to all driveways during all phases of construction unless otherwise noted in the plans or as directed.

Use materials from prequalified producer list as shown on the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) materials producer list, category “Roadway Illumination and Electrical Supplies.”

Place conduit runs behind curbs at all locations where curbs exist.

Place conduit along the frontage road a minimum clearance of six (6) feet from the back of curbs, unless such clearance shall interfere with "straight through" conduit placement, conflict with retaining walls or utilities, or introduce additional or unnecessary right-angle bends into the cable path. Adjust, with Engineer's approval, the placement of conduit and ground boxes to ensure the "straight through" conduit concept and avoid the aforementioned interference, conflict, or introduction of additional, unnecessary bends.

CCSJ: 0081-02-079 Sheet: 11

Install a continuous bare or green insulated copper wire no. 8 AWG or larger in every conduit throughout the electrical system in accordance with the electrical detail sheets, and the latest edition of the national electrical code.

For power carrying conduit, provide a continuous grounded system. If PVC or HDPEC is used, the continuous system shall be accomplished by running 1-#8 AWG bare copper wire in conduit between foundations and grounding it at each foundation ground rod. If rigid metal conduit is used, it shall be bonded to form a continuous system.

After installing conduit and pulling cables, leave a high tensile strength polyester fiber pull tape in the conduit for future use. Install pull tape in all empty conduits.

All conduit elbows and rigid metal extensions required to be installed on PVC conduit systems will not be paid for separately but will be considered subsidiary to various bid items.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe may be threaded and used with threaded PVC connectors or couplings.

PVC conduit systems that snap or lock together without glue that are designed and UL listed to be used for bored PVC electrical conduit applications will be allowed for bored PVC Schedule 80, when approved by the Engineer.

No additional compensation will be paid to the Contractor when these specific purpose conduit systems are substituted for this purpose.

Place conduit under existing pavement at a minimum depth of four (4) feet below the pavement surface.

If the Contractor is required to place conduit under existing riprap, remove and replace riprap according to Item 432, “Riprap,” except for measurement and payment. Replace riprap to a depth and finish matching that of the original riprap. Measurement and payment for riprap shall be subsidiary to Item 618 and no additional payment shall be made for this work.

Refer to TxDOT standard ITS(27)-16 for trenching of ITS conduit regarding depth of conduit, spacing of conduit, flowable backfill and concrete encasement.

Conduit entry to ITS ground boxes shall be perpendicular to the perforated sidewall. Do not use 90 degree or right-angle fittings to achieve perpendicular conduit alignment. Where approved by the Engineer, use 3-foot minimum long radius bends. Where conduit is placed by jacking or boring, adjust the conduit placement to accommodate perpendicular entry and long sweep bends.

Seal all conduits in the cabinets and ground boxes with expandable urethane foam.

Place cables in conduit to provide maximum use of each conduit’s capacity, as defined by the NEC. Each conduit shall be completely filled, according to NEC guidelines, before cables may be placed in another conduit; however, the Contractor is still responsible for mandated cable separations as directed by the Engineer (e.g., placing power cables in separate conduit from communications cables).

Backfill all open trench/excavation by dusk. Do not leave any open trench/excavation overnight.

CCSJ: 0081-02-079 Sheet: 12

The plans show the conduits numbered and specific cables in specific conduits. The purpose of these notes is to instruct the Contractor on how to group the cables in the conduits and not to specify the exact conduit that is to carry the cables i.e., the numbering system used is arbitrary and may be set by the Contractor with Engineer's approval.
